The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 55
Lu Wanlan didn't bother to talk to the second brother Lu Yunfan, and vaguely agreed to the complaints of the fifth brother Lu Yungui.

On the contrary, it was a piece of white silk cloth the size of a silk handkerchief in the hands of sixth brother Lu Yunce, which suddenly made her eyes shine brightly.

"This is brought back by the pigeon of the third child, but my brother clearly asked him to write thirty love poems." Lu Yunfan said first, "I don't know what he means by sending this?"

"That's right, little girl, the powder on it is table salt. Could it be the salty cloth you mentioned?" Lu Yunce said, pushing the silk cloth twice, and the white powder, which was as fine as dust, fell into the In Lu Wanlan's palm.

She tasted it and it was really salty.

She has heard a little about this kind of salt cloth.In the first few years of the founding of the country, the border was unstable, and battles of various scales almost never stopped.Dazhou was the largest salt-producing country at that time. With salt, soldiers had the strength to fight and to raise more horses.

But it is not easy to transport the salt safely to the battlefield.Not only is the journey far away, mountains and ridges need to be crossed, but it is also necessary to guard against enemy raids along the way and beware of bandits burning, killing and looting.

Therefore, at that time, someone thought of a way to soak the cotton cloth in extremely concentrated salt water and then air-dry it, and then make clothes to be worn by soldiers, and then transported to the destination without anyone noticing.If necessary, just put the cloth soaked in salt and put it directly into the pot for seasoning.

But after the war subsided, except for some knights who traveled the rivers and lakes, they would carry salt cloth for emergencies, and few troops and people would use this thing again.

Could it be that someone used this method to transport private salt?

"Fifth brother, do you think this salt has any merits?" Lu Wanlan said, and divided the powder in his palm into Lu Yungui.

While Lu Yungui was distinguishing carefully, the second elder brother Lu Yunfan looked at the silk cloth carefully, and suddenly said something that surprised everyone:
"This is not silk cloth, it is cotton silk!"

Lu Yunce let out an "ah" and walked up: "Is this cotton cloth? I see that the cotton clothes worn by the sweeping woman are very rough, are you sure?"

"You don't understand!" Lu Yunfan glanced lightly, and pointed to the piece of salty cloth in his hand, "I think back when my brother used silk cloth to draw girls, you didn't have teeth yet!"

"This silk is woven from silk. The grain should be flat and the texture should be delicate and light. If you look at the piece in your hand, although it is also very light and thin, it is obviously not transparent and soft. To be precise, it is made of cotton. It is woven with silk, and generally only small households who cannot afford silk cloth will use this kind of thing. However, the skin of the painted woman is only white, but not smooth and delicate..."

As he spoke, Lu Yunfan had a weird look on his face, as if what he was holding was not a piece of salt cloth, but the hand of the girl from Huanyilou.

Seeing Lu Wanlan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Oh, second brother, can you speak something serious in front of my little sister!" Lu Yungui told him to stop talking nonsense when he heard this guy again, "This salt is well salt!"

Well salt?Cotton silk?
"Is there any relationship between the two?" Lu Yunce was confused.

The three brothers looked at each other, but Lu Wanlan's expression was indifferent: "Are they from Shanxi?"

"Yes!" The three replied in unison.

"Then that's the problem!"

"Sister, tell me quickly! What's the problem?" Seeing Lu Wanlan smile knowingly, the brothers hurriedly sat in front of the bed, "Speak quickly! Don't go around the bush!"

"Shanxi produces cotton but not silk, lake salt but not well salt!"

"How do you know this?" Lu Yunce asked in surprise when he heard the little girl say this.

He and his younger sister are almost inseparable. Although they have traveled to many places, Shanxi was once the fiefdom of the King of Jin. There is a gap between the elder brother and the King of Jin. He took the younger sister to play by himself, so he would not go to his land to do his best. .

Later, King Jin was demoted, and the fief was taken back by the Holy One. Local officials, big and small, were mixed together.

"Me?" Lu Wanlan suddenly thought, she has never been to the border of Shanxi, and the Lu family's property has never entered this place, how could she know this?
"I, saw it in a book." She echoed casually, "Oh, it doesn't matter!"

"The most important thing is to find out where this salty cloth came from, whether it has appeared in the capital, and who is its buyer?"

The three elder brothers also nodded: "Then how do we investigate?"

"Easy to handle!" After Lu Wanlan finished speaking, she began to assign tasks to her brothers.

"Second brother, don't you know this silk cloth the best? Go and check which shop in the capital specializes in this kind of cotton silk, and pay attention to where you buy it."

"understand!"

"Fifth brother, go ask Yanpin and Mingyuexi, what property does the Xie family have that we don't know about?" Lu Wanlan said with a frown, "Our Lu family collected 20 taels of cash, and even used it. For three whole days, their Xie family was one day faster than us, I always feel that something is wrong."

"Well, don't worry."

"What about me? What about me?" Seeing that the two elder brothers had tasks, Lu Yunce jumped impatiently again.

"Sixth brother, you can wait for my dispatch at any time, let's let these people lose their wives and lose their soldiers!"

Several people planned secretly, seeing that it was getting late, the three elder brothers could not stay for a long time, so they said goodbye to the younger sister and left the palace.

Tang Feng looked at the prince's uncle, who came in a panic, and hurried away again, with a serious expression on his face, as if something important happened, and ran into Xiao Yanzhi's study again to report:
"My lord! The concubine's brothers just left, and they said they wanted to investigate something! Why don't you go and have a look?"

cloth?When Xiao Yanzhi heard this word, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he just figured it out.

Since the love poem written by Lu Yunli is in his own hands, then the information he sent back must be with Lu Wanlan!

The courtyard is deep, the moon is dew in the middle of the night, and the gauze curtain is lightly lifted.

Lu Wanlan got into the silk quilt after washing, Xu Shi was too excited today, and felt that there was still a bit of heat in the early autumn night, and there was no cool breeze at this time, the stuffy feeling in the tent was like claws scratching one's heart, It made it difficult for her to sleep.

Before he knew it, the ice silk pajamas on his body were already dripping with sweat.

Just as I was bored on the couch, I heard the door of the room "hula" and pushed it open from the outside to the inside.

Xiao Yanzhi walked quickly to the side of Lu Wanlan's bed, his face still sullen, his voice still a little hoarse, obviously he didn't want to say it loudly, but deliberately muffled his voice:

"Xianbu is here with the princess?"

When Huo Di saw Xiao Yanzhi, Lu Wanlan was so startled that the deer bumped wildly. As soon as he raised his head, he saw those bottomless black eyes staring at him closely. In an instant, he blushed again and gulped down a mouthful of saliva. .

"This king is asking you something!"

Xiao Yanzhi frowned slightly when he heard her swallowing.

This woman actually dared to act so recklessly in front of her!

Seeing the disgusted look on the man in front of him, Lu Wanlan gave a blank look in her heart, but her eyes brightened lightly: "The tone of the prince is not a begging attitude~"

"Hand it over!" Xiao Yanzhi spoke bluntly, ignoring the little man on the bed Gu Zuoyou said to him.

But seeing Lu Wanlan sneer and roll his eyes: "Such an important thing, of course the concubine keeps it close to me. If the prince has the ability, just come and get it yourself!"

After speaking, he patted the silk brocade quilt beside him.

Arrogant, frivolous!
"You don't dare to be my king?" Xiao Yanzhi knew it, she said that she hid the things in a private place, and she expected that she would not take them.

"My lord just doesn't dare!"

Stirred by Lu Wanlan, his big hand suddenly reached under the brocade quilt, and his fingertips suddenly touched a touch of softness, Xiao Yanzhi's face turned green immediately!
"Lu Wanlan!"

She didn't even wear pajamas!
Lu Wanlan, who was still hot and hot just now, felt as cold as ice cubes, but her face turned red.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi stiffly withdrawing his hand, the anger on his face became even worse before he turned around and left, he couldn't help laughing wildly.

Tang Feng outside the door followed immediately:

"My lord! What's wrong with you, my lord!"

"My lord, didn't you say you want to take the salt cloth?"

"To shut up!"

Hearing that the two of them were silent, Lu Wanlan's smile gradually froze, and he called out softly: "Chi Zheng, let's deliberately disclose some information to the prince if we find out, and watch what he will do next."

Should this private salt be swallowed alone or handed over to the government?
　Lu Wanlan has something to say: All spectators!After so many days, you know the character of this princess, right?Why, monthly pass, recommendation ticket, and reward, are you still planning to hide it?Hand it over quickly!Otherwise, let the brothers check the bottom of the sky!
