Fiancee weak and unable to take care of herself?

Chapter 31 The Covenant
Suddenly, Qin Jing's hand clapped Su Zijin's outstretched hand.

"Hey!" Su Zijin withdrew his hand abruptly, "Why are you beating someone?"

Qin Jing looked at Su Zijin's hand while staring at himself accusingly, and the old god said, "The Pisces pendant has been given, and you have accepted the engagement, so you can't regret it at will. Don't you think that the marriage contract between you and me is just a play?"

After hearing Qin Jing's words, Su Zijin didn't know whether he should be happy that he took a fancy to the marriage contract, or regretted that he was easily fooled by Qin Jing, so he had to endure the urge to return the Pisces Pei, "I see, then you have something to say to slow down." Slow down, why beat someone?"

"I'll teach you a lesson, so you know the severity." Qin Jing stretched out his hand, and Su Zijin folded his arms and retreated, "Why?"

Qin Jing laughed, "Let me see if the beating was serious."

Su Zijin shook his head, "No need."

Qin Jing didn't insist anymore.

Silence spread.

"My birthday crown ceremony on March [-] next year."

"what?"

Su Zijin was puzzled.

"Your crown?"

Qin Jing nodded, "Yes, I hope you can come and appear in Kyoto as my fiancée."

Facing Qin Jing's firm gaze, Su Zijin knew that this was the time limit Qin Jing gave him to stay in Shu County.

Su Zijin thought for a while, then nodded, "I see, I will rush back when the time comes."

From now to March next year, she will stay in Shu County for a whole year.Facing the situation that Qin Jing didn't understand anything, Su Zijin was still willing to give himself time, and Su Zijin was still relieved.

"It's a word."

Qin Jing stretched out his hand, and Su Zijin stretched out his hand to pat it, high-fiving it as an oath.

"It's a word."

...

Qin Jing took his younger brother and Mo Cui Peony with him, they came and went like the wind, and disappeared in Shu County, leaving no trace except Su Zijin.

"Sister Zijin, who is that Mr. Huang?"

A few days later, Xue Baozhu paid a visit to the mansion and specifically asked about Su Zijin.

Seeing her cautious expression, Su Zijin said calmly, "He's my fiance."

"Ah?" Xue Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, and questioned unwillingly, "It was obvious that you two have an unusual relationship that day. I didn't expect it to be your fiancé?" You mentioned you had a fiancé."

Su Zijin said frankly, "The decision was made after meeting her that day."

"Ah?!" Xue Baozhu was even more surprised, "Private life?"

Seeing Su Zijin's speechless expression, Xue Baozhu smiled coyly, "It's definitely impossible. Mr. Huang can see that everyone is from a family background, so he wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, younger sister Zijin is also from a distinguished family in Kyoto. And I won’t do anything that lowers my status.”

Facing Xue Baozhu's pointing words, Su Zijin didn't pay any attention to it, and just drank tea on his own, Xue Baozhu stayed for a while, and left with an excuse.

"Zijin, Baozhu came to look for you at the mansion today, why did he stay for a while and then left? Did your little sisters have a quarrel?"

At dinner, my grandmother thought about it and asked Su Zijin.

Su Zijin shook his head, "It's nothing, I just said a few words. The little girl's thoughts change every time, who can know?"

Grandmother couldn't help laughing when she heard the tone of the young adult Zijin in her family. She loved Baozhu herself but was three years younger, but she talked about Baozhu in an old-fashioned tone.

...

Su Zijin told Qin Jing that staying in Shu County was not meaningless, she had her own plan.

When he came to Shu County with Zhang Long and the others, Su Zijin made up his mind to lead Zhang Long to make a career.I thought I would have enough time, but I didn't expect that it took more than half a year to take over my grandfather's family business, and I will return to Beijing next March, so I have to hurry up on my own affairs.

"Miss, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Long came to the study in the front yard and met Su Zijin.

Su Zijin recovered from the big map of Shu County and looked at Zhang Long.

"When I came here, I said that I would bring you together to earn an extra share of money. Now is the time to fulfill my words."

After Su Zijin finished speaking, Zhang Long opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"Miss, no one would dislike money, and what you said was to bring us ordinary brothers to get rich together. If I refuse your kindness right now, it would be equivalent to blocking the brothers' way of making money. If I agree Let the other brothers in the mansion know about your matter, if you don't worry about the few but the unevenness, I am afraid that there will be hidden dangers for the guards in the mansion, even if the general knows about it, he will not agree."

Su Zijin knew that Zhang Long and the others were worried. They were worried that the money would cause conflicts, and in the end they would lose their jobs as guards of the Su family.But Su Zijin had no choice.She doesn't have capable people under her command, and Zhang Long's loyalty and ability can't be said. How can she let go of the ready-made capable people?
At that moment, Su Zijin waved his hand, "Zhang Long, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the house, I will tell my father. Right now, let's talk about you, would you like to bring the Su family's guards and make a fortune with me?"

Before Zhang Long made a statement, Hou Yitou, who was guarding the door, appeared at the door, "Boss Zhang, don't hesitate, the young lady is one-sided, and she is willing to drag us, so why do we little ones have any hesitation?"

Zhang Long glared at Hou Yi, and stared her back at the door to stand on guard. Then he looked at Su Zijin, "Miss' ability, we all see it in our eyes. From now on, we will leave our future to the lady!"

"Okay!" Su Zijin was overjoyed, "Come here, take a look at this map, from here to here, do you have the confidence to lead the team there?"

Zhang Long looked at the map carefully. It was brought here by the young lady from the General's Mansion. At that time, he should have been puzzled. His own lady didn't pay much attention to the gems sent by the fourth prince. But now he finally understood that the original lady came Before Shu County, he had made up his mind.

"Miss, if you want to go there, there are two roads. One is to go directly to the west, but it is not easy to go up the road with high mountains and dangerous waters. If there is enough time, let's take a detour to the southwest. In this way, the road will be much smoother. It is time. I am afraid it will take more time." Take half the time."

"How long will it take to go back and forth?"

"I'm afraid it will take more than a month."

Su Zijin nodded. Although there were only Su Zijin and Zhang Long in the study, Su Zijin still lowered his voice, "Our business is a unique business right now, and we can make a lot of money in one trip. The bowl is full, and ordinary people can't spend it all in their lifetime, but I want to tell you in advance about the dangers involved, after all, I'm just planning, and the actual implementation depends on your strength."

Zhang Long also nodded solemnly, "We are the Su family by birth, and the ghosts of the Su family by death, so we must do our best."

Su Zijin nodded happily, "Okay, let's work together on this business, I will take half of it, and you guys will share the other half equally. If it works out, we can really sit back and relax."

Su Zijin habitually drew the big cake first, and then pointed to the large area outside the map marked with the Qiang nationality and said to Zhang Long, "Here, gold, silver and precious stones are produced, as well as BMW, but do you know? Because of the bitter cold, they only Being able to eat meat to keep out the cold has been going on for a long time, and people here have hidden diseases in their stomachs, and we have the antidote for their incurable diseases. Do you think they will exchange gems and BMWs for the antidote?"

"Of course!" Zhang Long nodded.

Su Zijin took out a package of things from the treasure shelf, "This is the antidote, you can have as much as you want. You go there with the antidote and exchange it for BMW gemstones. It's that simple. The most rare thing about this matter is the journey. Difficult. As long as the road is familiar, it will be a road to Jinshan in the future."

Under Zhang Long's staring eyes, Su Zijin slowly opened the "antidote" in his hand.

"tea?!"

"That's right!"

...

It has been more than a month since Zhang Long and the others set off. Apart from dealing with business matters in the southwestern part of the Chang family, Su Zijin sat on the turret in the courtyard of the Changfu every day, looking southwest, waiting for Zhang Long and the others to return. .

For a group of them, if they succeed, they will be worth a hundred times, and if they fail, they will lose their bones.Su Zijin didn't show it on the face, but was secretly anxious.

"Zijin! Why do you love this place so much?"

The grandmother climbed up the stairs step by step and came to Su Zijin.

It was already midsummer at this time, the bamboo curtains on all sides of the attic were lowered to ventilate the wind and shade the sun, and there was an ice basin in the corner pavilion. Su Zijin could stay for a day in such a comfortable environment.

"You still enjoy it, it's really cool and breezy here."

The grandmother sat down in front of Su Zijin, and while talking, put an invitation card in front of Su Zijin.

"What is this?"

Su Zijin asked as he opened it.

"It's an invitation card from the Xue family next door. Master Xue has been promoted, and he will be the official of the Ministry Hall in the future. Before leaving, post a post and get together."

Although Su Zijin has no experience in this field, he also knows that it is not easy for the Xue family to be promoted from a local area to the capital.

"Of course we're going to join in the fun of their happy event."

On the day of Xue's banquet, Su Zijin followed his grandmother to Xue's mansion.

As usual, Su Zijin gathered together with Xue Baozhu and many other ladies from the official family at the gazebo in the garden of the backyard.

"Baozhu, when you arrive in Kyoto, don't forget about us."

"That's right, Sister Baozhu, if there is a chance, we will visit you, and by the way, thanks to you, we can enjoy the scenery of Kyoto."

Xue Baozhu was surrounded by everyone, smiling brightly and proudly, "Don't worry, we grew up together, how could I forget you? I will write to you when my family settles down in Kyoto. If you have time, go to Look at me!"

Su Zijin watched lazily from the side, what these little children say now is probably not true.In the current traffic environment, unless someone is lucky enough to transfer to Kyoto, otherwise, this should be the last time these little sisters meet.

And I don't know if it's my illusion, since the last time Xue Baozhu came to the house to ask about "Mr. Huang", it has been a long time since Xue Baozhu likes to talk and play with herself like before.

Su Zijin didn't understand, and he didn't think too much about it. People's hearts are unpredictable, and guessing other people's thoughts is just to make mistakes.

Therefore, Su Zijin leaned lazily on the pavilion pillar beside him, watching the people reluctantly saying goodbye.

"Miss Su, someone from the house came to report that it was Zhang Huwei who returned, and there is something to report to Miss Su."

Su Zijin almost jumped up happily. Facing the eyes of all the girls coming over, Su Zijin coughed and calmed down, "It should be that there is something wrong with the tea house. I'll go back and see first. Miss Baozhu, I'm sorry , I can’t continue to see you off, we have a chance, see you in Kyoto.”

The corner of Xue Baozhu's mouth curled up into a smile, "Sister Zijin, please go to work if you have something to do, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

After Su Zijin saluted, he left quickly.

"Why is she like this? It's just that the guards have something to do, how can it compare to the separation of sisters? Fortunately, sister Baozhu was so kind to her before."

Some lady muttered this complaint.

"Hey, the Chang family has been in business for generations, and now Su Zijin has also learned from being a philistine. Naturally, business is more important than affection."

Some people are eccentric.

Everyone keenly noticed that Xue Baozhu did not defend Su Zijin as before, so they talked about Su Zijin with Ben Jiali.

Su Zijin returned home in a hurry, not knowing what others were talking about, so naturally, even if she knew, she didn't care.Her current thoughts are all on Zhang Long and the others.

"how?"

Su Zijin gasped for breath while looking at Hou Yi who was waiting in the study.

Hou Yi stepped aside, revealing Zhang Long behind him with a face full of wind and frost.

"Fortunately not humiliated!"

Zhang Long also greeted Su Zijin with excitement, pride and prudence.

"Expand and talk!"

Su Zijin walked to the map and asked Zhang Long and Hou Yi to tell him their feelings and gains along the way.

Zhang Long glanced at Hou Yi, and Hou Yi took out an account book from his arms.

"Miss, all the gains from this trip are recorded in the book."

Su Zijin took it and doubled it at a glance, "There are so many?"

Seeing Su Zijin's rare surprised expression, Zhang Long and Hou Yi were proud of it, "Miss, I don't know. We went to the land of the Qiang people, and only then did we know that tea in the Qiang people is like gold. If it weren't for our strong soldiers and horses, It’s impossible to say how many people will miss it. Just like this, after doing a few games and seeing some blood, I finally got a firm foothold and made a deal with a big tribe. They don’t have copper coins, and they only sell gold, horses, cattle and sheep. We Listen to you, only accept gold, horses and gems, and now, these things are here!"

Zhang Long pointed to the box in the middle of the study and said, "This is gold and precious stones. The horses are kept outside the city to avoid being noticed."

Su Zijin nodded, "Okay, you must have suffered a lot along the way, tell me quickly, what is the most rare thing, what do we need to prepare? Are there any casualties this time? Let's sum up our experience this time, next time It will definitely be smoother.”

Zhang Long and Hou Yi stood in front of the map, pointing to one of the mountains, "This is the most dangerous place, there are leeches and miasma, but fortunately we are well prepared, there is no danger, a few of us were injured More seriously, we will stay in the Qiang people to recuperate. It just so happens that next time we trade, if they contact us, more tribes will contact us. Moreover, when we went this time, we found someone doing the same business as us, but they are outnumbered. Ligu is sometimes robbed by the local Qiang people, so he can only sneak around. For now, we have a strong team here. But in order to continue in the future, Miss, I’m afraid we need to add some people.”

Su Zijin nodded, "Don't worry, let's be more conservative this year. We would rather be slower than safe, and open up a route. When I return to Kyoto, I will send reliable personnel to Shu County. In this way, I can also replace you guys." After all, after so many transfers, if you are not allowed to go back and show off, wouldn't it be Jinyi Yexing?"

Su Zijin's words made Zhang Longhouyi scratch his head and laugh. They were born in the army and had a fortune. The first thing they wanted to do was to hide it in their stomachs and bring it home. In front of their wives and children, they took out one by one and won. their exclamation.

"Miss, don't worry, although there are not many of us guards, we are on the ups and downs now. Before we return to Beijing next year, we must find out the way for the follow-up brothers. In this way, when Miss returns to Beijing next year, we can work hard here." It's a game!"

Zhang Long spoke solemnly, Su Zijin nodded, "Well, everything will wait until we return to Beijing."
