The grass in the factory should be plucked

After paying homage to Fang Yi, Guan Changshi sent a bunch of visiting cards over and asked Jiang Li to take a look.

When they heard that Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo had returned to the capital, people who wanted to visit them to congratulate them handed in their visiting cards.

Jiang Li flipped through the books. There were those from Bai Lian Jushi, the Cui brothers, Captain Xu of the East Factory, Gao Yisong, the Minister of Rites, and her adoptive father Jiang Xiuyuan...

One of the visiting cards surprised Jiang Li, as it turned out to be from Princess Ruili of Bagan!

Presumably the princess still refused to give up, and when she heard that they had returned to the capital, she couldn't wait to come and ask for a meeting.

Jiang Li picked out the post and threw it to Guan Changshi: "Refuse it politely and say that court officials cannot have private contact with foreign royal families. Please forgive me, Princess."

"Yes!"

Jiang Li picked out the letters from the Minister of Rites Gao Yisong and his stepfather Jiang Xiuyuan and planned to give them to Liao Wuyong. This was a marriage relationship, and it would be most appropriate to let his father deal with them.

"In two days it will be a rest day, hold a small banquet and invite these people to come over for a chat."

Jiang Li handed the remaining invitations to Guan Changshi, "By the way, don't forget to send invitations to the Rui'an Marquis' Mansion and the Ji'an Marquis' Mansion."

The Earl of Rui'an is naturally Shen Muchun, and the Marquis of Ji'an is Nangong Qinghe's cousin Li Jie, the head of the Li Company.

The Li Company is now also under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Commerce. Jiang Li plans to establish a good relationship with Li Jie and would like to get him to the General Administration of Commerce as well.

In the future, when she goes out on business, she can leave all the official business of the General Administration of Commerce to him.

After all, Yinjiu and Yuanbao have their own jobs and cannot stay in the General Administration of Commerce all the time. Li Jie is the most suitable person to replace her.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guan Changshi then arranged them one by one.

At dinner time, Liao Wuyong and Xie Changan came back together.

It had been a long time since he had seen his two lovely grandchildren. As soon as Liao Wuyong arrived, he couldn't wait to hold the twins, kissing them, hugging them and holding them high.

Xie Buli and Xie Buqi were so happy that they giggled, and Liao Wuyong gave each of them a big red envelope.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Father, you are too partial. What about mine?"

Liao Wuyong laughed and took out a big red envelope and stuffed it into her hand: "No one can be left without my daughter."

"Thank you, Dad!" Jiang Li smiled happily.

She handed Liao Wuyong the invitations from Gao Yisong, the Minister of Rites, and Jiang Xiuyuan, her stepfather, and said, "Father, I'm sorry to bother you with these two."

Liao Wuyong took one look and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to hold a banquet in a couple of days? Invite them together, and then dad will help you deal with these people."

"Then I'll trouble you, Father!" Jiang Li invited him to take the seat with a smile.

Xie Changan changed into casual clothes and walked into the flower hall. The little eagle squatting on his shoulder pounced on Jiang Li: "Sister, Chengfeng misses you so much!"

Jiang Li touched its head and said with a smile: "Our Eagle General has grown up, and it's time for him to get married. Do you want me to help you find a wife?"

Xiaoying lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm still young, there's no rush."

Jiang Li chuckled: "If you see a female eagle you like, remember to bring it back for me to see."

"Yes, of course!"

Xie Changan added: "You also brought back the rat. I had someone send it to the house in Longmen."

The house was originally bought for Jiang Li to recuperate. Later, Jiang Li used it as the headquarters of Longmen Trading Company. Now that she has been promoted to the Director of the General Administration of Commerce, the house has been left vacant.

Jiang Li thought about it and decided to turn the place into her private office.

In the future, when she handles official business, she can also bring the twins with her. After all, there is the Queen Bee of Flowers and the Cat Guards of Big Lizard there, and the East Factory Yamen is next door, so it can be said to be very safe.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, husband." Jiang Li said with a smile.

"My lady, how are you going to thank me?" Xie Changan smiled through the heart-to-heart contract.

Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "That princess wants to see you, do you want to see her or not?"

"What princess?" Xie Changan was stunned.

He had completely forgotten the existence of Princess Ruili.

Jiang Li snorted: "The princess of Pagan who is willing to be your slave!"

Xie Changan then remembered that the princess had also arrived in the capital with the queen and the eldest prince.

"No! Ugly people often do weird things, why bother with her?" Xie Changan looked disgusted.

Liao Wuyong smiled and said, "The emperor will arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible, and then she will have no time to bother you."

"That's the best." Jiang Li smiled.

She had a feeling that the princess would not give up.

After Princess Ruili arrived in the capital, officials from the Honglu Temple arranged for her to stay temporarily in an official inn.

She followed the southern tour team back to the capital, and thought that she would have many opportunities to spend time with the General of the Southern Expedition along the way. Unexpectedly, the victims rebelled, and he and Prince Jing'an actually accompanied the emperor to the expedition in person!

Princess Ruili had no choice. She was unfamiliar with the Great Chu, so she had to obediently follow the Queen, the Imperial Concubine and others, slowly heading north.

She was not idle either. While on the road, she worked hard to learn the language of the Great Chu. Now she can communicate with others in the stiff Great Chu Mandarin.

After finally arriving in the capital, Princess Ruili heard that the general and the prince had returned. She had no time to appreciate the prosperity of the Celestial Empire and hurried to the Duke's Mansion to meet the general.

The maid Aman tried to dissuade her, "Princess, wait a minute. The Great Chu has many rules. If you want to see someone, you must first send a visiting card to his home. You can only visit after the host responds."

If you go there rashly, the other party may simply turn you away!

Princess Ruili was very impatient: "What's the rule?"

She couldn't wait to see the general and tell him how much she missed him.

Aman advised: "Princess, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Princess Ruili had no choice but to send a visiting card to Prince Jing'an's Palace.

Unexpectedly, the Jing'an Palace rejected her request for a meeting!

The reason is that court officials cannot have private contact with foreign royal families!

Princess Ruili was furious. It was out of jealousy that Prince Jing'an prevented her from meeting the general!

But the prince's palace and the duke's palace were heavily guarded. What could she, a newly arrived foreign princess with no power or influence, do?

Just as Princess Ruili was wandering around the room like a trapped beast, Aman quietly handed her a wooden box.

"Princess, I accidentally got a treasure from the people of Da Chu."

"What treasure?"

Princess Ruili opened the box curiously, and found a slightly worn bronze mirror inside.

"Princess, don't be fooled by its shabby appearance. It is said that this mirror can make the gods appear."

"Pray sincerely, and the gods will grant you all your wishes."

Ah Man lowered his voice.

Princess Ruili was delighted: "Really?"

Ah Man said, "I don't know either. Princess, why don't you give it a try? If it's true, wouldn't your wish come true?"

Princess Ruili thought the same thing, and she beamed with joy: "If I can achieve my wish, you will definitely benefit from it!"

A-Man added: "Princess, please keep this bronze mirror away and don't let anyone see it. I heard that..."

She said mysteriously, "The royal family of Great Chu was cursed by the gods, and many princes and grandchildren died some time ago. Therefore, the emperor of Great Chu strictly prohibited witchcraft. If this bronze mirror is seen by others, we will be in trouble."

"Okay, I understand."

Princess Ruili's face showed an expression of great anticipation.
