Chapter 869
Entering October, with the progress of the issuance of banknotes and the construction of water conservancy in Guanzhong, various government offices in Chang'an are very busy.

The same is true for the Mokan Academy, and even Qin Jiushao, who usually handles official duties lightly, seems a little overwhelmed.

With such heavy official duties, Jiang Di was already overwhelmed, but on the ninth day of October, she had to change into a woman's attire and go to the Qin Palace with her mother, Mou Zhu, for a party.

When they were in Qingfu County in the early years, the Jiang family had a relationship with Li Xia, including the fact that Jiang Chun recognized Han Qiaoer as his adopted daughter, which made the Jiang family and Li Xia communicate like relatives in private.

Mou Zhu naturally tried her best to maintain this relationship.

She will find one or two opportunities to meet the princess and side princess once or twice a month, chat about family affairs, and reminisce about the old days.

Jiang Di usually does things his own way, often wearing an official uniform to work in the government office, and Mou Zhu can't control her, but whenever Jiang Di dares to refuse to go to the Qin Palace to meet the princess, he may be beaten to death by Mou Zhu.

In short, for Mou Zhu, contacting the family members of King Qin is a big deal...

"Mother is happy. With this bun combed, does my face look square?"

"Where is it?" Mou Zhu was just looking at the pieces of cloth held by the maidservants without looking at Jiang Di, and said casually: "You are very beautiful, you often dress like this, you can already be called a good family .”

Jiang Disui was too lazy to talk to his mother, and walked behind his back.

After a while, Mou Zhu slapped her hand off with a slap.

"It looks like a daughter's house."

After entering Prince Qin's mansion and walking on the path, Mou Zhu started muttering again, saying that she had seen Wu Ding's wife a few days ago, that Wu Pu's eldest son, Wu Baoqian, lost his wife as a young man, and wanted to continue.

Jiang Di then jokingly responded that he didn't care about continuing the series, but because Wu Ze's wife is very beautiful, she didn't want to be her sister-in-law and let others compare.

Mou Zhu was furious, and scolded: "As long as you like it, don't care what others say."

"What my mother said is that I don't care if I want to marry, no matter what others say."

Mou Zhu was so angry that she wanted to beat her daughter to death.

The next moment, a beautiful girl ran past the yard and shouted: "Hurry up, there are a lot of boxes to be moved in, I'm afraid the yard over there won't be able to fit them all."

Soon, Prince Qin's mansion became busy.

A mouthful of big red boxes were brought in and placed in the courtyard.I saw Hu Zhen and Guan De, the two chief executives, were busy running around.

Jiang Di happened to be walking on the corridor, turned around and saw Guan De opening several boxes one after another.

Silk and satin, ginseng antler, jewelry and jade, books, calligraphy and paintings...

Seeing Guan De open a picture scroll again, Jiang Di's eyes were fixed, and he was already frozen there.

"Crane and deer in the same spring picture?"

She pulled La Mouzhu and murmured: "Mother, is that picture "Cranes and Deer in the Same Spring"?"

Mou Zhu didn't answer, because the princess Zhang Wenjing was standing there dignifiedly not far away, receiving a long gift list.

There is also the faint sound of reporting.

"A Lang said that he wanted to give the dowry for a long time, but the journey was inconvenient before, so he simply sent it along with the full moon gift for the young master..."

Mou Zhu and Jiang Di, who watched all this, were a little frightened.

It was Gao Mingyue who noticed this first, and sent his servants over to greet them into the hall.

Mou Zhu glanced at the yard again, those large mahogany boxes hadn't been moved yet, and she didn't know how long it would take to move them.She muttered involuntarily to herself.

"Tsk tsk, how can it be transported so far away?"

Jiang Di suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned around and rushed to the outer hall.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Sishi Lin is back? I want to see Sishi Lin..."

~~
All the way to the lobby of King Qin's mansion, Jiang Di was stopped by the guards, saying that King Qin was discussing matters and it was not appropriate to meet each other.

She had to wait outside in the yard.

After a while, I saw Yuan Yan also coming.

Jiang Di hurried up to meet him and asked, "Sister Yuan, can you take me to see King Qin? I have something to ask Sishi Lin."

"Don't worry, I don't know what happened yet, can you talk about it after I meet King Qin?"

As soon as Yuan Yan finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out from the lobby of Prince Qin's Mansion, but he looked like he was from the Military Intelligence Department.

First, Yuan Yan was invited to enter the hall. He raised his hand and asked Jiang Di to talk in the small hall next to him.

"Jiang Langzhong, please."

"I want to see your Secretary Lin, and I have something to ask him."

"Okay, but there is no rush. The envoy is reporting something important to the King of Qin. But I have a few words to remind Jiang Langzhong... If you can enter the Palace of the King of Qin today, you can trust him, but no matter what you see, please let me know." Be sure to keep it secret. Otherwise, the Department of Military Intelligence will punish you severely."

"I understand." Jiang Di responded.

"That's good, please tell me, Jiang Langzhong, what you know."

"it is good."

Jiang Di was a little scared, but he still spoke up.

She heard part of the matter when Li Zhaocheng asked Wang Xi last time.

Not long ago, Wang Xiao had just been severely punished by Li Xia, along with Li Zhaocheng, Sun Deyu, Jiang Di, and Jiang Cang, for divulging and inquiring about secrets.

In fact, it's not a secret, it's just that Yanjing, which is thousands of miles away, knows that there is a smuggler with Li Xia. Speaking of which, Li Fen's actions were much bolder than Li Xia's.

"I know that Yu Dechen went north with Wang Luo to contact the princes of the Central Plains and establish a smuggling business. Wang Luo didn't make it, but someone did."

"Do you know where to open up business channels?"

"I don't know." Jiang Di said: "But first, the Zhang family in the north was able to transport a large number of items, and then King Qin invited sister Yuan when discussing matters. It can be seen that this matter has been done."

"So, what do you want to find out?"

Jiang Di said: "I want to know, did Yu Dechen stay in the north and make these? Has he come back?"

"that's it?"

"that's it."

"Okay, anyway... Jiang Langzhong, please keep it secret. Just wait here."

Jiang Di quickly responded, and sat in the small hall to wait.

She waited for a long time before seeing someone enter the hall.

Jiang Di was overjoyed, but just stood up, only to find that it was Wu Ze who came, so he had to salute quickly.

"You don't need to be too polite, Jiang Langzhong must have come here for the water conservancy in Guanzhong, right?"

Wu Ze said, sat down on the chair, yawned, and said: "I also came to see the king for this matter, and the Mokan Institute must be busy recently..."

"Yes, there are too many things that need to be considered and reviewed. Just hiring labor is a lot of things..."

When talking about official business, there is a lot to discuss.

It was not until the evening that Jiang Di finished her estimated consumption of money and food for the construction of water conservancy.As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly felt a figure standing at the hall door.

The person's back was facing the setting sun, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

Jiang Di fixed his eyes and saw his appearance clearly, and couldn't help being taken aback.

She rubbed her eyes.

This person in front of him is not Yu Dechen but who is it?
"You came back, I said you can come back."

Before Yu Dechen could speak, someone had rushed to invite Wu Ze to the lobby.

Seeing that Yu Dechen was injured, Wu Ze gave a salute, nodded politely, and then went to the hall.

Yu Dechen turned his head to look at Wu Ze's back, felt the respectful gaze just now, and couldn't help being very satisfied...

Turning around again, Jiang Di smiled and said, "I knew you could come back."

~~
"Let's go, look for the little Taoist priest and Brother Li. That's right... when did you arrive at the entrance of the hall just now? I was too serious about discussing things with Senator Wu, so I didn't see you."

"Just arrived."

"A few days ago, Wang Luo came back and said that something unexpected happened to you. But I didn't believe it. Sure enough, you did what he failed to do."

Yu Dechen shook his head, said with a wry smile: "I didn't make it, I was just saved."

He usually doesn't talk much, but at this time he really wanted to say something. After being bored for a while, he said: "However, I have accomplished a lot of things, but it's a pity that it's confidential and I can't tell you."

"It's okay." Jiang Di smiled with his hands behind his back, "It's good that you can come back, I don't ask for secrets."

Yu Dechen maintained the calm attitude of a cultivator, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, after thinking about it, he still bragged.

"Actually, I'm very good at being an assassin and a secret agent..."

~~
Li Xia was also very busy that day. After the discussion, he turned back to the backyard, only to find that there was no place to stay.

I had no choice but to wave hello to the wives and concubines across the row of mahogany boxes.

I had no choice but to go around through the main gate of Prince Qin's Mansion, and go back to the backyard through the small gate next to it.

Regardless of other matters, he first talked with Zhang Wenjing about the Zhang family in Baozhou...

"I haven't heard you talk about your second brother in detail."

"Why didn't you say that?" Zhang Wenjing said: "I often say that when the second brother wanted to marry Sister Yuan, he was forced to retreat by Sister Yuan's poem, 'Temporarily use the method of mending the sky, and don't allow the dust to fall into the painting hall', How come you didn't say it?"

Li Xia said: "Aside from this, I haven't heard you say anything else about him."

"Actually, I don't know the second brother very well. We are not the same biological mother. He is also much older than me. He is not in good health. He has been recuperating in his hometown in Baozhou."

Li Xia didn't know where to start for a while, and could only deduce the general context of Baozhou from the descriptions of Lin Zi, Dong Wenyong, and Yu Dechen.

"This time, it seems that your second brother is very resourceful..."
