Li Kexiu was shocked and said unnaturally, "What else can I plan?" He was terrified. "Is he so resourceful that he even knows our plan?"
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Uncle Li, shouldn't you plan on how to merge with the Golden Snake Camp?"
Li Kexiu was startled and felt relieved. Then he laughed and said, "Of course, of course."
Song Qingshu looked at the direction of the Southern Song delegation and said in a relaxed manner, "Uncle Li was worried that if you chose the Golden Snake Camp, it would cause a strong reaction from the Southern Song. Now I have handled everything. Not only have I gained the recognition of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also the support of Mongolia. In addition, I can influence the decisions of the Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent. So now we are in a good situation. We only need to take this opportunity to completely integrate the Golden Snake Camp and Uncle Li's Green Camp, so that when the world changes in the future, we can take advantage of the situation."
A trace of guilt flashed in Li Kexiu's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said, "Nephew, you are right. We really need to prepare for a rainy day."
Seeing that there was no one around, Song Qingshu said, "I don't know if I can talk to Uncle Li alone. After all, our two families are united, and some things are confidential."
"Of course, of course." Li Kexiu leaned to one side and said, "Nephew, come with me."
Song Qingshu followed Li Kexiu to his study, and the two began to discuss the details of the cooperation between the two sides.
Because he was afraid of neglecting Li Kexiu, Song Qingshu had been taking care of his interests. Some of the requirements he put forward were very reasonable, striving for the principle of a win-win situation. He originally thought that Li Kexiu would argue for more benefits, so he still left room for concessions on some issues. Unexpectedly, Li Kexiu had almost no objection to his proposals and agreed to all of them, which made Song Qingshu feel embarrassed, feeling that he had taken a big advantage.
Song Qingshu inevitably had some doubts in his heart. Li Kexiu's reaction today was a little abnormal, not like his usual sly temperament.
However, he soon felt relieved. After all, they had already decided to unite by marriage, so they could be considered as a family. Their fundamental interests were the same. Song QingShu even felt that he was gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure. He was not as open-minded as the elders.
After several hours of secret talks, the two sides had reached a preliminary consensus on almost all aspects. This progress made Song QingShu a little overjoyed.
Before they knew it, it was time for dinner again. Li Kexiu led Song QingShu to invite Han Xingzhou and the others to a banquet. Han Xingzhou was not surprised to see them appear together. After all, according to the previous agreement, they were already a father-in-law and son-in-law. Song QingShu was naturally half the host here.
Before, in order to avoid the Jin and Qing envoys, Li Kexiu had moved everyone in the mansion to the military camp, so Song Qingshu had not seen Li Yuanzhi. But he had been busy with all kinds of things and had not had time to care about her.
Previously, in order to avoid the Jin and Qing envoys, Li Kexiu had moved all the people in the mansion to the military camp, so Song Qingshu had not seen Li Yuanzhi. But he had been busy with all kinds of things and had not had the time to care about her.
Now that the situation was settled, Song Qingshu could not help but think of that weird girl. Previously, in the Yanjing Imperial Palace and in Shengjing, the two had always had a good relationship. He did not know if she would be angry when she found out that she was going to marry him.
Song Qingshu knew that Li Yuanzhi had always liked Yu Yutong of the Red Flower Society, but he did not know if Yu Yutong was a mature wife lover, but he liked his fourth sister-in-law, the wife of Thunder Hand Wen Tailai, Luo Bing. He ignored the beautiful Li Yuanzhi and only saw her as a younger sister.
Knowing this, Li Yuanzhi still liked him without complaint. Who knew that in the battle of Shengjing, Yu Yutong would discover Yu Wanting's secret and die at his hands.
"I don't know if the girl has gotten over this sad first love." Song Qingshu sighed. Li Yuanzhi's weird personality was very charming, and he did not want to see her become unhappy and lose her nature because of Yu Yutong.
Hearing Song Qingshu ask about her daughter, Li Kexiu's expression was a little unnatural. "My dear nephew, after all, you are already engaged. Isn't it a little inappropriate to meet at this time?"
In fact, Li Kexiu did not want his daughter to meet him. After all, he planned to send his daughter to the Southern Song Dynasty to be the Empress. There were so many people from the Southern Song Dynasty present. If Li Yuanzhi had an affair with another man, her future would probably be ruined if the news got back to the Southern Song Dynasty.
Song Qingshu frowned and felt a little depressed. This marriage was probably not something that could be completed in a short time. Didn't that mean that he would not be able to see Li Yuanzhi for a long time?
But he also knew that there was such a rule in this world. It was not very auspicious for a man and a woman to meet in private before marriage. Moreover, her father had spoken, so he could not say anything.
After drinking unhappily for the whole night, Song QingShu walked back to the courtyard where he lived after the banquet ended. He was very depressed on the way back. Every day, he had to sleep alone on an empty bed. It was really lonely.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yaojia was shy. In front of the elders and other people, she did not dare to quietly look for him. When Song Qingshu asked Li Kexiu about it, in addition to really caring about Li Yuanzhi, he also missed Luo Bing. After all, last time in Shengjing, Luo Bing followed Li Yuanzhi to Jiangnan to relax.
Thinking of Luo Bing's mature and beautiful body, Song Qingshu suddenly felt thirsty.
It was a pity that Li Kexiu did not let him meet Li Yuanzhi, so he naturally could not get any news about Luo Bing. Song Qingshu was also embarrassed to ask his future father-in-law about other women, so he could only resentfully come back.
"Why don't I go find Jiao Waner?" When he reached the door, Song Qingshu suddenly stopped and looked hesitant.
Calculating the time, Jiao Waner should be back soon …
Song Qingshu's body moved, but in the end, he did not take a step forward.
"Forget it. Right now, business is more important. If Li Kexiu finds out that he is cheating, it will not look good for him. After all, the two of them have just decided to unite by marriage."
After thinking about it, Song Qingshu still felt that business was more important. If he made a mistake because of his greed for a woman, he would really have no face to face his elders.
Forcibly calming down the throbbing in his heart, Song Qingshu pushed open the door to his room.
"Hey, why is there a pot of flowers?" As soon as he entered the door, Song Qingshu noticed the pot of yellow flowers on the table in the room.
"It smells quite good." Song Qingshu did not have any suspicions. After all, the flower arrangements in the mansions of these high-ranking officials and nobles were changed every day. Presumably, the maidservant had come to exchange for fresh flowers.
After closing the door, Song Qingshu lay on the bed and could not help but begin to throb again. He hesitated about whether he should take advantage of the night to run to Cheng Yaojia's room. Anyway, Lu Guanying would not say anything and would even cover for the two of them …
As the scene appeared in his mind, the more Song Qingshu thought about it, the more excited he became. He could not help but stand up. However, before he left, he gave up on the idea. The risk was too great. If Han Xingzhou and Li Kexiu were exposed, it would not look good.
Just as he was about to go back to sleep, Song Qingshu suddenly felt dizzy. He could not help but wonder, "Why is the aftereffect of this wine so strong?"

Fourth update!
Also, I have to say that many readers came to me as if they had discovered a new continent, saying that Moqi Shu's surname is Moqi, not Wan. Can I say that they did not read the book properly?
Of course, I know the pronunciation of these two words. In the original text, it was clearly written that they changed their surname to Wan to avoid the revenge of their enemies.
