Duan Yunxiu's pretty face turned red to her ears. She glanced at Zhuge Hui resentfully and did not dare to say a word.
Duan Yunyi heard the implication of Zhuge Hui's words, and his pretty face turned red for no reason, and he did not dare to respond.
In fact, what Zhuge Hui said was reasonable. As an old prime minister, he was worried about the royal family.
According to common sense, she and Duan Yunxiu should get married when they reach fourteen years old.
But she was engaged, and Duan Yunxiu refused to get married.
Now, Liang Xiao appears...
Zhuge Hui also handed over the design of the Lian Nu, describing Liang Xiao's reference and the prevention of smallpox.
"Can this prevent smallpox?" The two sisters looked in disbelief.
Zhuge Hui reminded: "You can try it in areas prone to smallpox first. If it can be done, Liang Xiao will have made immortal merits. Your Majesty understands."
Duan Yunyi blushed and suddenly remembered something, so he asked Duan Yunxiu to go back and rest before explaining to Zhuge Hui.
"Prime Minister, I actually mentioned to Liang Aiqing that we could recruit him as our consort and allow him to marry us. What he said to me is still fresh in my memory..."
"He said that he can accept my arrangement at any time and marry the emperor's sister. After all, this is a great honor. But now that the court is unstable, those aristocratic families will definitely oppose it and use his father's defeat as an excuse. Furthermore, he He is still an imperial businessman, and his merits are not enough to convince the public. After he has made enough achievements, I can grant him a marriage. In this way, I and the imperial sister will not have to endure too many rumors."
Zhuge Hui sighed: "After all, he is still worried about causing trouble to your majesty and the princess. Your majesty, such a good man..."
Duan Yunyi interrupted him with a blushing face.
"Prime Minister!"
Zhuge Hui fell silent and looked worried again.
Duan Yunyi murmured: "No big deal, I just go and prepare a few sets of wedding clothes first!"
Zhuge Hui then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My emperor is wise."
After Duan Yunyi watched Zhuge Hui leave, he pursed his red lips and looked resentfully.
"Has Grandpa Prime Minister already guessed that he is the only possible candidate for the engagement after all..."
This old prime minister only cares about the safety of the royal family and does not consider her face at all...
"My son, this engagement is the promise my father made before he and Marquis Lanling said goodbye. Now it is handed over to you. Even the prime minister doesn't know about it. It will be up to you to choose in the future, because my father only hopes that you sisters can be happy and stable. , no need to compromise.”
The late emperor's advice lingered in Duan Yunyi's mind, making Duan Yunyi unable to calm down for a long time. He opened the sugar bowl brought from Liang Xiao's house, took out a rock candy and held it in his mouth. His eyes fell on "Luo Shen Fu": Himself what can we do about it?
"Good luck, Lord Marquis!"
In the courtyard, the Xuan guards nodded and bowed to Liang Xiao with far more enthusiasm than before. They greeted Liang Xiao with every possible care.
Liang Xiao took the jar of Yueming wine from Gu Pingxiu and sighed in his heart.
Ever since the Xuanwei came to him for discussion, their attitude had changed like this, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Liang Xiao drank a small drink, turned over the account book, and said to himself: "How many rich people have gathered in the capital? They are so damn rich!"
This time, even the Guanlong nobles sent representatives to order two kinds of fine wine from him, each taking a thousand jars.
Since the launch of Canghai Yueming, the deposit he has accepted has exceeded three hundred thousand taels.
The deposit accounted for one-fifth of the total payment. If these fine wines were delivered in full, he could earn 1.5 million taels!
Of course, no matter how easy it is to make money, it still takes some time.
Canghai Yueming's production still needs to follow the hunger marketing route to avoid price drops.
Some merchants have negotiated pre-orders with Liang Xiao, and their orders have been scheduled for half a year.
Even so, they are still not in a hurry because Liang Xiao promised to stabilize the market price of Canghai Yueming and not be lower than the purchase price.
"It seems that the Marquis has underestimated the wealth of the rich people in Dazhou. These people have a lot of money, but they can only get money in and out!"
Gu Pingxiu, the captain of the Xuan Guards, who was always serious, smiled like a grandson. After explaining, he did not forget to add: "Master Marquis, can you give us some tips on the Xuan Guards in your spare time..."
"Easy to say, easy to say, let's drink first." Liang Xiao agreed and invited Gu Pingxiu and others to drink Yueming wine.
This time, for the first time, the Xuan Guards did not refuse and drank heavily with Liang Xiao.
Yueming wine is sake, so it's not that easy to get drunk and cause trouble.
The key is that their master specifically told them that Liang Xiao was the future prince-in-law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they could regard Liang Xiao as their master and occasionally accommodate him appropriately.
Drinking is a kind of accommodation that cannot be refused. There is really nothing that can be done about this Marquis!
Lei Hong accepted Liang Xiao's appointment and took his brothers to join the convoy of Dingguo Hou Mansion in advance to act as temporary guards.
Dingguohou Mansion.
Capital, Taixue.
The Taixue students who were studying suddenly received the news.
Taixue opened its doors early, and all the students who were studying in seclusion also went out and gathered in the main square.
"The exchange meeting between our country and Dachu is unprecedented in scale! The list of invited people is now announced!"
"Duanmu Yuncheng! Duanmu Yunqing..."
The students of Taixue looked at the Duanmu family in front of the crowd with envy.
These two brothers were also admitted to Taixue, but rarely studied there.
But the backstage is pretty tough!
"I heard that this time it was hosted by Mr. "
"Those who can be invited will be no more than thirty years old. They are not limited to literati, but also some well-known heroes and military figures? Who are they?"
The crowd was talking a lot, Duanmu Yuncheng and Duanmu Yunqing looked at each other and smiled.
"It is true that Mr. Xing will host this exchange meeting, but everyone can speak freely under reasonable circumstances. He cannot make the decision."
Only Nangong Ning was unhappy.
Mu Qinxue was also invited to participate.
Now she hates Mu Qinxue no less than she hates Liang Xiao.
The most talented woman in the capital always steals the limelight from her, but now she actually has a good impression of Liang Xiao.
"Ning Ning, don't worry about anything. Most of the attendees are members of our family, and everyone's opinion counts! Newspapers can only manipulate public opinion and cannot attract the eyes of the upper class!"
Duanmu Yunqing's comfort made Nangong Ning feel a lot better.
"Qin Baili! Lin Xiu! Qin Xun..."
At this moment, Dr. Wu Jing read a string of names, which shocked everyone in the Duanmu family.
Qin Baili and others, who were talking quietly, were also a little confused.
They didn't have many friends in Taixue, and they didn't have a good relationship with Doctors of the Five Classics. Logically, it was impossible for them to accept such an invitation.
"What qualifies them to be invited?"
Duanmu Yuncheng asked angrily.
"It was Mr. Xing who accepted Liang Xiao's proposal and invited some young talents from the Great Zhou Dynasty."
