Chapter 181 Going to Yan State Again
In the president's office of Orchid Bank, He Yunxiao and the two heroines were intensely discussing various possible situations.
Suddenly, He Yunxiao stood up suddenly.
"Oops, she's here!"
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun both raised their heads and looked at He Yunxiao. They are all ice-smart girls. He Yunxiao doesn't need to say anything to know who is coming.
It wasn't surprising that the eldest princess came to see Du Yinyun, but her arrival so quickly was beyond the expectations of the three people present.
Mengbao's speed directly reflects her attitude. The faster she comes, the more anxious she is.
Something bad is happening.
Sister Jiang, who had seen the big scene, was the first to react and said to Du Yinyun in a face-to-face manner: "Good sister, you simply don't know how my sister and I have spent the past six months outside!"
Du Yinyun was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately reacted and cooperated with Jiang Wuyou: "Sister Wuyou, the young master is a generous man, will he still neglect you?"
Jiang Wuyou said: "He Yunxiao certainly doesn't know how to do it, but some women might."
While admiring the acting skills of the two heroines, He Yunxiao slowly backed away and pointed to the door to indicate that the visitor was outside.
Because they had discussed it beforehand, there was no problem for Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun to work together. The two of them were talking to each other, and in the course of their conversation, they molded the unsuspecting weakling into a person who sees evil in others, is inconsistent in appearance, and is narrow-minded and kind. Jealous woman.
In short, weak treasures have no advantages other than competing for favor.
At the end of the conversation, Meng Qingqian, who was standing outside the door, couldn't stand listening anymore.
Fan Ziruo is considered to be a talented person in the military. I heard that she is strict with herself and respects the virtuous and capable. Even if she is good at fighting for favor, she is not useless.
However, Mengbao also understood Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun's subjective remarks.
When she was anxious, she would scold He Yunxiao a few times, just to vent her emotions, nothing more.
However, Fan Ziruo's behavior of ostracizing Jiang Wuyou confirmed her unpopularity.
Mengbao listened outside the door and started to sort out the clothes. Seeing this, the maid with a knife beside her immediately went to knock on the door for His Highness.
"Shopkeeper Du, my master wants to talk to you."
He Yunxiao hid in the cabinet in Sister Du's office and held his breath. He watched helplessly as Du Yinyun invited Mengbao and Jianling into the house.
Mengbao pretended to ask a few questions about Daqi Bank. After Sister Du answered her questions one by one, she changed the topic and started asking about Fan Ziruo.
"I passed by the academy when I came here just now and saw that it was quite lively. Is there any festival in the city?"
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun looked at each other, and Jiang Wuyou said, "It's the Marquis Wu Qing's Mansion proposing marriage to Fan Mansion."
Sister Jiang's mood is depressed, her words are a little lonely, and her acting skills are perfect.
"Oh?" Mengbao also pretended to be surprised. "That's a good thing," she said.
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun both showed "reluctant" smiles.
Meng Qing asked with a slight smile: "Why do you two have such expressions? Isn't this a happy event?"
"Your Highness doesn't know something..." Sister Jiang repeated what she had just said in front of Mengbao.
Mengbao said angrily: "That's unreasonable. You and Yinyun are both good girls from rich families, how can you be bullied by that surnamed Fan?"
Jiang Wuyou sighed and said, "Although Miss Fan has nothing to do with us, she is deeply loved by the young master. Yin Yun and I don't want to go against her, so as not to make the young master unhappy."
Mengbao had heard about Fan Ziruo's struggle for favor outside the house, but she was quite favored, which Mengbao didn't know.
Later, Sister Jiang described to the eldest princess how Fan Ziruo was favored. He Yunxiao in the closet was embarrassed to hear some words.
What does "the military advisor never get up early every day" mean? Obviously, Sister Jiang, you get up late more often.
In the hall outside the cabinet, Mengbao clenched his fists when he heard "I don't get up early every day." The sense of substitution is too strong and I am already getting angry.
Although Mengbao was angry, she had not lost her mind.
If it turns out that according to what Jiang Wuyou said, this Fan Ziruo was deeply liked by He Yunxiao, then this matter must be considered in the long term.
Although Mengbao is very confident in her relationship with He Yunxiao, she also knows He Yunxiao very well. He Yunxiao, that little bastard, takes the easy way rather than the hard one. Even if he shows up with him and explains what Fan Ziruo has done, as long as Fan Ziruo cries and makes trouble, the little bastard will definitely be helpless. Even if it’s not possible, I still have to put in a lot of effort to comfort them.
To fundamentally solve this problem, He Yunxiao must be aware of Fan Ziruo's character, and then consciously keep a distance from Fan Ziruo.
Although this strategy can fundamentally solve the problem, it cannot be done overnight.
Mengbao thought for a moment and came up with a countermeasure.
On the one hand, she approached Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun, asking them to contact her more, and then persuaded Jiang and Du to stay calm. Don't confront Fan Ziruo on impulse. Collecting evidence secretly and delivering a final thunder blow is the right way to deal with Fan Ziruo.
Mengbao was not like an idle person like He Yunxiao. After she came to Orchid Bank to do business, she returned to the palace without stopping.
He Yunxiao waited for Mengbao to leave before climbing out of the cabinet.
The little maid Du sister, with quick eyes and quick hands, rushed ahead of sister Jiang to help He Yunxiao.
Jiang Wuyou wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "Xiao'er, how do you get along with the eldest princess on weekdays? This woman is really difficult to deal with. If we hadn't discussed the countermeasures in advance, I would have fallen into her hands today. Fortunately, she was eager to protect her husband and fell into a trap. "
He Yunxiao smiled and said: "Actually, she is usually quite cute."
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun were stunned at the same time.
Cute? Does this word have anything to do with the woman just now?
…
After more than ten days of recuperation, Qi and Yan finally agreed on the matters of peace talks.
Qi sent a peace negotiation team to Jingtian City, the capital of Yan, to discuss the follow-up of the Qi-Yan war with Yan's peace negotiation team.
Whether it is war or peace, whether it is ceding land and paying compensation, or hostages and tribute, all must be agreed upon in the peace talks.
The team sent by Qi is also very interesting.
Except for the Southwest King, who is a war advocate, the rest of the participants are peace advocates. Including: Fan Ziruo, He Yunxiao, King Ling, Li Gongqin, Li Jin, and some other representatives of the big families who support peace talks. The most interesting person in the Qi team is Lu Liang, the Minister of Honglu Temple.
Meng Bao already knew that Lu Liang was Jiang Wuyou's subordinate, and Li Xiangjun knew that Meng Bao knew Lu Liang's identity. In other words, everyone on both sides of Qi and Yan knew that Lord Lu was untrustworthy, but he was the only one who didn't know this.
The team for this peace negotiation was different from the three people of He Yunxiao who went to Yan State privately last time.
The official list of the peace negotiation team alone had fifty or sixty people. This did not include the guards who escorted them all the way.
In addition to these official lists, many adults would also bring their families to Yan State. After all, the peace negotiation took a long time, and there were always things that needed to be done by wives or concubines.
Among them, He Yunxiao's family group was the largest.
He Yunxiao himself and his Ruobao and Youbao followed in the convoy of the delegation. And behind the convoy of the delegation was a "bank convoy" of more than 200 people.
The Orchid Investment and Development Bank, under the name of investing in Yan State, blatantly took the "special adviser" Princess Nanzhu to Yan State for a public tour. In addition to the "orthodox bank convoy" where Du Meimei and Nanzhu were, the "bank convoy" also included the "escort convoy".
That is, the convoy composed of the short sword army.
Chu Xiaoxiao and Taoist Qing Yuzi were in this convoy.
This time, except for Meng Bao who could not leave Beijing, all the other female protagonists went to Yan State in full force.
