I was Idle and Cool Chapter 105: Border trade speculation
Gu Juefei glanced into her car, and he knew it in his heart. He also stopped and smiled like a spring breeze: "A good day and a good scene also need someone to accompany you to appreciate it, it is wonderful. Nowadays, people Aren't you coming?"
Meng Ji's eyelids jumped from behind.
The driver was watching his nose and heart, and he didn't dare to slant his eyes.
There is a saying that if you want to live to ninety-nine, don't speak at the critical moment. In the matter of the masters, who dares to say nonsense? There is also a law called "sit together".
How could Lu Jinxi not hear what Gu Juefei meant.
But isn't the other party doing this to stimulate her? Now that she's here and he's stopped too, the rest is of course self-evident.
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "The Grand Master's Mansion is a long way away, why don't I give you a ride?"
"The madam is willing to give it, but how dare you refuse it? I am very happy."
In a perfunctory way, Gu Juefei certainly didn't mean to refuse at all, he just waved his hand to Meng Ji, but he left his disciple directly and left him to stand dumbfounded, while he Get in the car directly.
The hem of the sky blue robe was slightly lifted, and the person was already sitting opposite Lu Jinxi.
He didn't change his smile, but asked, "Why haven't I seen the young master?"
Lu Jinxi also replied with a smile: "When he came, he was in the carriage of the General's Mansion, and someone would take him back."
He seemed to understand, and asked again: "I just met in this way, did the madam not talk more about the father-daughter relationship with Mrs. Lu?"
Lu Jinxi's smile faded: "It's over."
The story is over.
This answer is really...
Gu Juefei sat upright and didn't seem to be distracted by the beauty in front of him. At this time, he just pretended to sigh: "Poor old man Lu has to hear his beloved daughter coming, full of joy, who would have expected it so quickly. It's over - sigh!"
The voice has not yet fully landed.
The woman on the opposite side, who was sitting dignifiedly like a moon and a lotus, had already kicked him unceremoniously on his calf. Although the embroidered shoes with the tangled lotus were soft, they still hit him with some force.
It hurts faintly.
Gu Juefei really didn't expect her to make a move without saying a word, so for the first time, she felt a sense of shock and inexplicable, and she raised her head to meet her twinkling eyes.
The bottom of his eyes is that very clear half-smile.
Lu Jin neatly tidied up his sleeves and stared at him: "Why is it that the story is finished so quickly, does the eldest son have no points in his heart?"
Number, he doesn't have one.
But at this time, Lu Jinxi was obviously annoyed inside, but there was still a smile on his face. He actually felt that there was a strange sweetness in his heart.
Hearing her murdering herself, she laughed instead of being angry.
"What does this have to do with Juefei?"
"There have been many changes in the imperial court recently, and the Ministry of Rites has also added the Lifan Hall. There are many things going on. I feel that after all, a new official has taken office, and Mr. Lu is a minister of the imperial court. Naturally, everything is He asked him to make a decision. What's more, the Hun envoys were afraid to leave in less than half a month, and the matter of Lifan Hall was still imminent, so he didn't dare to delay. Therefore, he had to take this last resort and take the young master to the mansion of Mrs. Lu. ."
"If this makes my wife think a lot, it's my fault."
Listen to this!
What a grand sounding!
Speaking from the bottom of my heart, if I hadn't first taken a fancy to the skin of this fox and jackal, and gradually became a little interested in his flesh and blood, Lu Jinxi would have stabbed him to death earlier with a hairpin.
Why didn't you think he was so difficult to deal with earlier?
Is it because in the first round of their fight, he lost without any precautions, giving her the illusion that this person is easy to bully and deal with?
No, she wouldn't be so underestimated.
So, the only explanation is that during the period of their confrontation, Gu Juefei, a painted-skin demon, was getting deeper and deeper, and at a speed she didn't expect.
Thinking about it this way makes things a little scary.
Thinking about today's events again, Lu Jinxi's scalp exploded, staring at Gu Juefei after a few flashes before gradually calming down, and only replied to him: "Do you think I can believe it?"
"It doesn't matter if the madam believes it or not, the important thing is to say it or not. I have no doubts, and I can say so frankly. If the madam believes it, everyone will be happy;
Gu Juefei didn't care about Lu Jinxi's reaction at all.
He was always smiling, even looking at her with that sincere look.
For a moment, Lu Jinxi almost believed him.
After all, he was drunk that day, and the words he confided let her know what kind of heart he had.
But it's just this moment.
Her sanity pulled her back at the most critical moment.
What Gu Juefei said was just what he said. He may have a heart to do his best for the country and the people, but that doesn't mean he can't count her. Besides, didn't they come here all the time?
There are back and forth, there are winners and losers.
Lu Jinxi didn't care much about what Gu Juefei said. She only thought about it for a moment, then laughed again, and stopped talking about Xuechi going to school and going to her grandfather's house, she just said: "Speaking of which, there has been a lot of wind and rain in the imperial court recently. I heard that Mr. Gu, no, it's time to call you 'Master Gu', and you are dealing with the matter of Lifan Tang with my father. After the Huns negotiated peace, would it be feasible for the two countries to exchange trade?"
Suddenly changed the subject?
It felt like a punch into the cotton.
Gu Juefei really didn't expect it, and didn't even react.
This topic will change when it is changed. At most, it is the game he set up this time, and she doesn't want to jump into it. But why switch to such a strange aspect?
But when it comes to business, his mind has converged.
Although Lu Jinxi is not a member of the court, he has an unusual position in his heart, so he is willing to tell her some things that he cannot tell others.
Not to mention, being drunk that day was really a revealing picture.
"I didn't expect that Madam was interested in Lifan Tang."
"But the two countries have finally negotiated peace now. Thinking about the matter of Young Master Xue, Madam should be able to feel the emperor's determination to make peace. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries will not be a big mess, and will be in the future. Very stable. The exchange of trade between the two countries is even more inevitable."
"It's just that the time for negotiation is short, and there is a lot to be done. It's not that easy to do."
Gu Juefei said, his brows furrowed slightly.
Obviously the previous joke is gone.
Looking at him like this, Lu Jinxi felt that he was a hundred times more pleasing to the eye than before.
"What does 'not so easy to do' mean?"
She didn't ask questions purposefully, she wanted to explore Gu Juefei's tone.
Even if Gu Juefei has a thousand heads, it is impossible to think of her real purpose, so she did not take the slightest precaution and only replied: "The two countries have reached peace, the court is settled, but it is not that there are no voices of opposition from the common people. "
Reconciliation is not easy, but what is even more difficult is the various things that follow.
"Trade is not something that the imperial court can carry out with a single edict."
"The permission of the imperial court is one, the second is that there are merchants willing to go there, and the third is that the Xiongnu and even the Western Regions and other places have this demand. Now there are one or three, but the second is hard to say."
"There was a war not long ago, and even if someone thinks it's profitable, it has to be weighed."
Who can be free from grudges all of a sudden, who is still at war with people one moment, and is commensurate with his looks and brotherhood the next moment?
"Pressing on the head without drinking water will hurt people's hearts."
"What's more, the border trade is very far to go and do business, and it is impossible for non-large commercial houses and large merchants to make the trip. But big merchants and large commercial houses have a firm foothold in the Central Plains. Hesitating. And you have to consider the changes in other days, what the loss is, or how the people think about it.”
"No one wants to be the first."
Many things in the world are based on this principle.
Especially a new thing.
The first person to do it may be the first person to eat crabs, or the first person to be poisoned.
Gu Juefei is clearly aware of the truth, but after speaking, he paused, thinking that he had gone somewhere else, and only raised his head after a long time: "How could Madam think of asking this?"
The carriage is moving forward, but if you lift the curtain and look at it, it is clear that it is not heading back to the Taishi Mansion, but a detour in the city.
Gu Juefei may not be aware of it, but Lu Jinxi knows it.
She was not in a hurry, she deliberately hesitated for a moment, then hesitated a bit: "Is this..."
Gu Juefei raised an eyebrow.
Lu Jinxi then smiled, looked at him with a rather playful look, and said lightly: "If I tell you, I'm quite interested in border trade, I'm going to give it a try, Master Gu, can I do it? convenient?"
Interested in border trade?
Gu Juefei was stunned.
He even suspected that he had heard it wrong, but Lu Jinxi was sitting in front of him, and the clear and light voice just now came from her mouth, so he was not so dazed that he couldn't hear who was talking?
"You..."
Only one word came out of the words, but when he turned his eyes, he stopped abruptly, and then it was quite subtle, and Gu Juefei was immediately happy.
"I think you avoid me like a scorpion, but now, isn't this just asking for it and bumping into my hand?"
