Lu Wanjie naturally knew.
What Li Chengqian did today was just to gain face for himself.
She also knew that this was all Su Qingling's tacit approval.
Sometimes, although Su Qingling can act and make trouble.
But she is really reasonable and considers the people around her.
Although she was very unhappy when she married Li Chengqian with Lu Wanjie at the beginning.
After all, no woman wants to share her lover or her man with others.
But over time, the two women did not become tit-for-tat enemies, but became good best friends who talked about everything.
Even when Li Chengqian was not at home, the two women would often get into the same bed and sleep.
Li Chengqian was also deeply pleased with this.
At the same time, he also felt that he was very lucky.
Arriving at the Lu family in Suzhou, Li Chengqian was warmly received by the Lu family.
Inside the mansion, there was a joyful atmosphere from top to bottom.
When she saw the old lady of the Lu family, Lu Wanjie immediately pulled up the futon and prepared to kneel down and bow.
Seeing her like this, Li Chengqian naturally couldn't just watch, and was ready to follow her.
Although there is an order between elder and younger, there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
But can anyone accept Li Chengqian’s kneeling ceremony?
As far as the entire Tang Dynasty was concerned, except when Li Chengqian met Li Yuan, he had to kneel down and salute.
Even when he met Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, he only had to give a fist-cup salute.
So when she saw him kneeling down to her, the old lady was so frightened that her eyes almost popped out.
Lu Hansheng on the side also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is impossible."
"Husband and wife are one, there is nothing we can't do."
Li Chengqian smiled lightly, and then he and Lu Wanjie knelt down and saluted the old lady Lu in Suzhou.
At this time, Mrs. Lu didn't even know where to put her hands.
Fortunately, Lu Wanjie came to the rescue immediately and took Old Mrs. Lu to ask her about her physical condition.
It is always not good to listen to two women, one old and one young, talking about themselves.
Therefore, Li Chengqian simply resigned, and he and Lu Hansheng exited the room and came to a small pavilion.
Lu Han was afraid that Li Chengqian would be bored, so he asked someone to bring a chessboard and play against Li Chengqian himself.
But the result of the game can basically only be described in four words: horrific.
Li Chengqian's chess skills are famous throughout the country.
Even Li Shimin was no match for him, let alone Lu Hansheng.
After being defeated by Li Chengqian in three consecutive games, he simply gave up the struggle.
At this time, Li Chengqian said directly: "Is this period of peace?"
He was asking about the bank.
After hearing about the official business, Lu Hansheng's face was startled.
He said: "These days are actually quite stable. People and business travelers from all walks of life have gradually accepted the existence of money notes."
"Many business travelers from other places even went to the banks on Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road to exchange large amounts of money."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded.
He said: "It still takes time to promote things like money tickets."
"After all, the common people's awareness is limited. They have been using coins for hundreds of thousands of years. It will take a period of baptism before they can fully accept money tickets."
"Because of the promotion of the imperial court and major aristocratic families in the north, I don't have anything to worry about."
"Only, I can't worry about the South."
Having said this, Li Chengqian sighed softly.
He said: "After all, I have a bad reputation in the south, and I'm really afraid that the bank will become bad with me."
"And I'm more worried that some aristocratic families will interfere with it, causing my bank's plan to go bankrupt."
"But after hearing what you said, I feel relieved."
Li Chengqian picked up the teacup, took a slow sip and said, "If you have a chance, you can discuss with the Lu family and the Changsun family to see if you can add a few more banks."
"Next step, it's best to set up banks in all the cities in Jiangnan Road."
Hearing this, Lu Hansheng smiled.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Changsun family is already planning this matter."
"There has even been news from the Imperial Court that the next step is to expand to Lingnan Road."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little stunned.
What the hell?
You opened your own bank and expanded your business on Lingnan Road, and you didn’t even know it?
But soon, he came to his senses.
This must be because his emperor took advantage of this and also knew the importance of the bank, so he simply took over and arranged it himself.
In this case, Li Chengqian was relieved.
After all, I am the emperor who is doing the work, who dares to interfere with it?
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "In that case, these things will be simple."
At this time, a little maid came over and summoned: "His Royal Highness, eldest son, the meal is ready..."
"become."
Li Chengqian stood up slowly and said, "I happen to be hungry too, so let's go over."
"yes."
Lu Hansheng nodded in agreement.
Then he followed Li Chengqian towards the main room where the dining table was placed.
…
Chang'an City.
On this day, Changsun Chong, who finally finished handling Liangzhou's political affairs, followed the large army back to the court to resume his duties.
Li Shimin has never been stingy with his son-in-law, Chang Sun Chong.
Not only was he heavily rewarded with gold and silver, but he was also specifically allowed to go to the Princess Palace to meet Li Lizhi.
Compared to the former, the latter obviously made him feel happier.
Although due to delays due to various events, he has not yet married Li Lizhi.
But both of them have made a tacit understanding, including Li Lizhi, who is ready to get married.
Now they are just waiting for the elder brother Li Chengqian to return to Chang'an City and hold the wedding directly.
And now, as Li Lizhi grows older, she is not as crazy as she was when she was a child, and is more stable.
Even when he saw Chang Sun Chong, he blushed.
Inside the princess palace.
Changsun Chong took out the gadgets he brought back from Liangzhou one by one and presented them to Li Lizhi.
Until the end, he did not forget to say: "This time I also brought a cook back from Liangzhou, and the dishes he cooked are all Liangzhou style, and they are extremely delicious."
"When the time comes, when you are free, go home and I will ask him to cook it for you."
Originally, Li Lizhi was quite happy.
But when she heard this, Li Lizhi was obviously a little depressed.
She pouted and said, "I can't get out. It's not like you don't know."
Before a woman gets married, she always has to embroider a lot of things on herself.
For example, the back, handkerchiefs, even curtains, and other things that the children will use, all have to be displayed by themselves.
Only in this way can the auspicious meaning be reflected.
When Li Chengqian got married, Su Qingling and Lu Wanjie did the same thing.
Even when Lu Wanjie was in Kunning Palace, she had to work as a female worker according to the requirements of Queen Changsun.
While she is so strict with her daughter-in-law, Queen Changsun is even more strict with her own daughter.
Li Lizhi has never been idle since the wedding date was set.
Seeing her look like that, Changsun Chong was also a little helpless.
He said: "Then another day, I will ask him to prepare it, and I will bring it to the palace for you."
Hearing this, Li Lizhi was very happy.
She clapped her hands and said, "That's great, but..."
She suddenly lowered her lips, and then said: "If possible, can you bring Pingting with you?"
"Pingting?"
Changsun Chong looked at Li Lizhi doubtfully...
