Sure enough, the smile faded a little when he first saw the queen.

　　But after Li Zhiyin finished speaking, the queen smiled and nodded again.

　　The queen has always been able to keep her emotions to herself, so how could she easily reveal her emotions in such an occasion?

　　Madam Wen thought in horror that the Queen was clearly doing this for everyone present to see!

　　Madam Wen quickly stood up and walked to the middle to salute the queen, "Your Majesty, it is my ignorance that made me ask such a stupid question. Please don't be offended by my daughter."

　　"Children are naive and it's normal for them to be unable to hide things." The Queen smiled faintly, "This time, I don't blame you. But now that you know you're wrong, you must not make the same mistake again."

　　"Yes." Mrs. Wen said quickly.

　　The flower-viewing banquet ended with this unpleasant episode.

　　Li Mumu and the monk's wife waited for Li Zhiyin to come out, even though Madam Li was there too.

　　But Li Zhiyin had always maintained a superficial relationship with Madam Li, so it was natural for her to walk with Li Mumu and Madam Shang, lagging far behind Madam Li.

　　Madam Shang held Li Zhiyin's hand and whispered, "It seems that Miss Wen has her heart set on the position of Crown Princess."

　　Li Zhiyin sighed, thinking that she didn't want it yet, but judging by the Queen's attitude today, she was afraid that it was very likely that she would.

　　What you don't want keeps coming, and the person you want can't get him/her.

　　Li Zhiyin did not say this out loud. After all, they were in the palace, and who knows where someone might be listening.

　　Li Zhiyin just shook his head helplessly at Madam Shang.

　　Three days after returning from the flower-viewing banquet, the servant Li Zhiyin sent to deliver a letter to Min Huilan also returned.

　　He also brought a letter from Min Huilan.

　　In the letter, Min Huilan happily stated that she must be included in the matter of the freight shop, and also thanked Li Mumu and the other two for not forgetting her in this matter.

　　She also said that she was now in Chong'an, and the freight shop in Chong'an could be handed over to her.

　　Li Mumu talked about the specific matters in the letter, and Min Huilan wrote back in detail about what she planned to do in Chong'an according to what Li Mumu said, and asked Li Mumu's opinion.

　　As Li Mumu wrote back to Min Huilan, she thought that although the ancient times were not bad, communication was really troublesome.

　　I hope that after the freight shop is established,

　　A little better.

　　It was such a problem even though they had Li Zhiyin sending servants to deliver letters. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome for ordinary families who didn't have servants to deliver letters?

　　While Li Mumu was replying, she was talking to Li Zhiyin and the monk's wife.

　　"The more I hear you say this, the more I feel that we should set up the freight shop as soon as possible," said Mrs. Shang.

　　By the time the letter reached Min Huilan, Li Mumu and the other two had set up a freight shop in the capital.

　　Li Youkang now takes full charge of the affairs of Gujia Snacks.

　　Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwu went to other places to open freight shops.

　　A freight shop not only needs a warehouse to store the goods, but also horse-drawn carriages. The investment is greater than that of a running errand shop or Gujia snack bar.

　　Fortunately, Gujia Snacks, Wangyou Xiaojie and the Errand Shop are all making money continuously.

　　Li Mumu is now a wealthy woman and can still support the development of her freight shop.

　　However, freight shops do not have to be opened in the city like other shops, since they are not open to the public anyway.

　　Therefore, we chose a warehouse outside the city, which has a large space and can accommodate carriages. The shop price is also much cheaper, so we can save some expenses.

　　Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei traveled around to select locations for warehouses, purchase horse-drawn carriages for transporting goods, and were also responsible for recruiting workers.

　　Although it was a bit busy, they both worked hard.

　　Being busy is much better than sitting idle at home.

　　The two of them really couldn't stand doing nothing, and they felt at ease only when they were busy.

　　On this day, Gu Shangqing returned from the army and brought news that a Turkic delegation would arrive in Beijing soon for peace talks.

　　"Although we have sent people to negotiate, the Turks are still determined to do evil. We can't guarantee that they won't have any bad intentions this time. We still have to be cautious when they come to the capital."

　　"What arrangements has the court made for their visit this time?" Li Mumu thought of the modern times when leaders of other countries came to visit, many places in the imperial capital had to restrict traffic, which was a bit inconvenient.

　　"We'll arrange for them to stay in the villa on Xuanwu Street," said Gu Shangqing. "Although they are usually accompanied by people from the Ministry of Rites, if they want to go out for a stroll, as long as it's not out of line, the people from the Ministry of Rites won't be able to stop them."

　　"We are worried that they will take advantage of the opportunity to do some tricks and cause chaos." Gu Shangqing said.

　　"They are all in our

　　We have taken over their territory, why are you still making trouble?" Wang Cuizhen asked puzzled.

　　"For example, if you insist on going to a restaurant to eat, what if someone drugs you there? At best, you'll get an upset stomach, or at worst, you'll sacrifice someone's life, and then they'll take the opportunity to push the blame onto Daxi."

　　"Something happened when the Turkic envoys came to Daxi for peace talks..." Li Mumu murmured.

　　"These people are so troublesome. Can't they just be quiet for a while?" Zhang Caiping said angrily. "Then should we be more careful about our restaurant and Wangyou Xiaoxi as well?"

　　Li Mumu nodded, "We are opening a business, we can't treat people differently and not let them in when they come."

　　Li Mumu said: "So we can only be more cautious. No matter how cautious we are, it is never too much."

　　"This time, the Turkic general was captured alive by my husband. The Turkic people must have investigated my husband's affairs thoroughly and naturally know which stores we have opened." Li Mumu said in a deep voice, "If they can really be honest and sincerely negotiate peace, and nothing happened, that would be the best. We can just think of it as our own fault."

　　Zhang Caiping nodded. "It would be best if nothing happened, but we still need to be on guard as much as possible, lest they take advantage of our business and attack Shang Qing."

　　Wang Cuizhen said worriedly, "But how can we defend ourselves?"

　　"Take our restaurant for example. We know that the food coming out of our own kitchen is definitely fine, but we can't prevent them from secretly drugging themselves." Wang Cuizhen frowned.

　　"Like this." Li Mumu said slowly, "Whenever a Turk comes to the restaurant to eat, we will test the poison with a silver needle before they see the dish. Only after the poison is tested will they be allowed to eat."

　　"That's a good idea," Wang Cuizhen said. "We've tested the poison to prove that our food is fine. If anything goes wrong with them, it has nothing to do with us."

　　Li Mumu also told this method to the owner of Wangyou Xiaoxi, and reminded him not to relax.

　　Although Wangyou Xiaojie only entertains female guests, she is not sure whether Turkic will bring any female relatives this time.

　　In the original book, there is no mention of the Turks coming to negotiate this matter.

　　But when watching other movies and TV shows, the small countries that come to negotiate peace always bring along some princesses for marriage.

　　If the Turks really brought it, and some Turkic women went there to take a nap, we had to be on guard.
