"Reward?" Lin Xueman didn't look at him, she tidied up the ledger, put it in a drawer, locked it, and said solemnly, "Master Xiao, Mr. Liu belongs to you, and his affairs are also yours. You do things for yourself, what reward do you want from me?"

"Having said that, if you don't mention it to me, I don't know about it at all, so people entrust you, you entrust me, if I don't ask you for a reward, who will I ask for a reward?" He grabbed her white and slender hand, and let it go After examining it carefully in his hand, he said with a smile, "Besides, the reward I want is easy for you."

"Then what reward do you want?" She turned her head and met his fiery gaze, her face flushed slightly.

"Look at you, where are you going!" Seeing a blush on her face, Xiao Chengyu joked, "I just want you to accompany me to Xuanzhou, don't tell me the reward you want to give me is... . "

"Oh, don't talk about it, really!" Lin Xueman hurriedly interrupted him, how embarrassing it is to talk about such a private matter in broad daylight....

"What did I say?" He looked at her pretending to be suspicious, and smiled, "You see, you always like to be delusional." Then, he leaned into her ear again, and whispered, "I'll take it as if you promised Now, don't go to the capital, accompany me to Xuanzhou to take up my post."

"I'll accompany you when I come back from the capital!" She smiled at him.

Xiao Chengyu shook his head, smiled, and was about to say something when he heard the waiter's voice from outside the door: "Two guests, please!"

Then, there was a sound of footsteps, and the door of the next room opened.

"Bring us a good pot of tea first!" It was a man's voice, listening to the accent.It's a foreigner, with a lukewarm tone.

"Okay! Just wait a moment!" Xiaoer yelled and retreated.

The second floor of Yipinju has always been used as a tea room, so people who come to the second floor usually come up to rest after eating downstairs.

"I have seen all these goods. Although the quality is not bad, the price is a bit high. If the price is the same as last time, we will make a deal." The voice sounded like a local.

Don't ask, they're here to discuss business.

"No! The price is already very low. If you don't believe me, wait a few days and see, there will never be such a good product over there." The foreign accent did not give in at all.

Then, the door closed.Only low voices could be heard from inside.

Here, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"That foreign accent is from the Yue family!" Xiaocheng Chengyu said in a low voice, "Recently, there have been many Yue family members in Bingzhou City. They come to the Temple of Begging Children not to beg for a child, but mostly to sell Buddhist beads."

"They come here to sell Buddhist beads?" Lin Xueman said thoughtfully, "Many shops in our city sell these Buddhist beads for offering incense and so on. Why do they still come here to sell them from thousands of miles away?"

"The beads they sell are different from the ones here. What they sell are Yueshi bodhi seeds." Xiao Chengyu raised his eyebrows. "This kind of bodhi Buddha beads are selling well in Bingzhou. I heard that merchants from other places also come here to get goods."

"Bodhi child?" Lin Xueman's heart trembled, she couldn't help thinking of the moon slave, and the string of Buddhist beads she was carrying, she looked up at Xiao Chengyu and said. "Why are you from the Yuezhi family again?"

Hearing what she said, Xiao Chengyu couldn't help but feel puzzled.yes!Why is it a Yuezhi person again?

When I was in Yuzhou, there was Yuezhi silk and Huatuanjin competing for the market. Later, the government intervened, so Huatuanjin would not disappear in Yuzhou.

The same is true in Bingzhou now. As the reputation of the Qiuzi Temple has become more and more famous, the shops in the urban area have also become popular, but the most popular ones are Yueshi's bodhi seeds.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is there something else?

Xiao Chengyu saw Lin Xueman bowed his head in deep thought, and remembered the matter of Yueshi's silk, and said again: "Actually, the Yueshi people have come to Daqi to sell bodhi seeds and Buddha beads. When I was in the capital last year, I saw those shops at the foot of Lingluo Mountain. Many of them were opened by the Yuezhi people, but they just came to Bingzhou recently!"

"So that's how it is." Lin Xue glanced at the door calmly, and said in a low voice, "Cheng Yu, don't you think there are signs that the Yuezhi is obviously dependent on Daqi militaryly, but economically? Intentions of aggression."

Hearing this, Xiao Chengyu's heart sank. He looked at Lin Xueman and said seriously: "That's true. The Yue clan is far from being as weak as it looks. In fact, the reason why Shu invaded the Yue clan this time was because of a piece of land at the border. It is a buffer zone between the two countries, and it was gradually taken over by the Yue clan in the past few years, and disputes arose over and over again, that's why this war happened!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Hou Zhongyi. He heard that Hou Zhongyi was seriously ill at the border, and the emperor had ordered Prince Rong to bring him back.

The Marquis of Zhongyi was so kind to him, and when he came back, he would naturally visit him in person.

"What the Yueshi caused us to send troops to resist. The Yueshi King's wishful thinking was really good. If he married a princess, he would borrow 20 troops. For such a dependent country, we are wasting people and money. It seems to be suppressing the enemy in foreign lands and consolidating Daqi's own borders, but in fact, the snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, and this fisherman is none other than Yuezhi himself." Lin Xueman lowered her eyes and sighed, then looked up again Looking at him, he said, "Cheng Yu, don't you think that these Yuezhi people came to Daqi to do business not blindly, but with a plan, silk from Yuzhou, and Buddhist beads from Bingzhou, they have a thorough analysis of the market , could it be that all of them Yuezhi are born businessmen?"

"You mean, these Yueshi merchants are actually planning behind the scenes?" Hearing what she said, he gradually became suspicious. This daughter-in-law usually stays at home and takes care of the children at home most of the time. These things come to him, but he is very insightful. He smiled, stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "I will take this matter to heart and investigate slowly. When necessary, we can use other people's methods Also heal his body."

"Treat him in the same way?" She looked at him suspiciously.

"That's right!" Seeing that she was confused, he said mysteriously, "I mean when it's necessary, you'll know when it's over!"

"Tell me about it?" She smiled disapprovingly, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Then let's talk about it when the time comes!"

Two days later, Lin Xueman left for the capital.

Because Qin Sanlang went to Beijing on business, the two happened to go together.

Even so, Xiao Chengyu was still worried, and specially selected a few people with good skills to go with him, just in case.

After arriving in Beijing, Lin Xueman didn't go to the Lin Mansion, and she didn't get an invitation from her stepmother. She didn't want to go to make fun of herself.

Qin Sanlang couldn't hold her back, so he had no choice but to let her report to the Lin Mansion alone after she settled down in the inn.

"If you can't stay at home, why are you staying in an inn instead!" Mrs. Lin said without looking up, picking her nails, "Isn't this intentional to make people think that my stepmother treats her meanly!"

Qin Sanlang frowned, but said nothing.

"Don't you think you treat her as your own?" Seeing her displeasure, Lin Haisheng couldn't help retorting.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Lin was just talking casually, but she didn't expect to be robbed by Lin Haisheng, and her face turned red. She looked at Qin Sanlang who was standing silently by the side, and said angrily, "Sanlang I'm not an outsider, and I don't need to hide it. Don't always talk about the dowry, okay? This size is one size, and the dowry is the dowry. Since she came to Beijing to see Xueyi, then she is right Xueyi has a bit of family affection, she respects us one foot, and we return her one foot, so can I not care about her food and lodging when she comes to the house?"

"Hmph! If you are interested, why don't you go to the inn and call her here, what are you yelling about here?" Lin Hai gave her a blank look, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

"Sanlang, let's go, take me to the inn, I'll go and invite our precious daughter back!" Madam Lin saw Lin Haisheng's disdainful face, stood up abruptly, and said loudly.

"Ma'am, let's forget it!" Qin Sanlang said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Miss has traveled for such a long time, I'm afraid she will stop now, besides, Lord Xiao sent several people to escort her all the way, and she didn't It is convenient to live in."

"Hmph! Could it be that our small temple can't accommodate her?" Mrs. Lin said as she walked out, "If you don't take me there, I'll find her myself. I'll ask inns one by one, but I don't believe I can't find her."

"Madam..." Qin Sanlang saw that she was being serious, and hurriedly ran out after her, frowning, "Madam, let me take you there!"

"Where are you going? Let her find it herself!" Lin Haisheng roared behind him. For some reason, ever since Lin Xueyi married into the palace, the couple quarreled every now and then, either because of this or that. In the final analysis, it was Both held a breath in their hearts.

After driving for two days, she was really tired. Lin Xueman lay on the bed, squinted for a while, got up to wash up, saw that it was still early, and decided to go downstairs for a sit down.

As soon as he walked down the stairs, before he had time to sit down, he saw Qin Sanlang walk in hurriedly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, followed by a red figure behind him, and before he could speak, the red figure walked up to Lin Xueman. In front of her, she opened her mouth: "Xueman, come to the capital, why don't you go to live at home, what's the matter with living here?" She looked at the stepdaughter expressionlessly, and her tone was calm, it sounded like It's like seeing each other often.

"Thank you Ma'am, I live here very well, so I won't bother you at the house!" Seeing her stepmother coming, Lin Xueman felt a little surprised and forced a smile.

"Oh, she's really your father's daughter, she's always hated if she dares!" Madam Lin smiled disapprovingly, sat down graciously, and waved to the boy, and when she saw the boy running over, she ordered: , "Go and make a pot of good tea."

"That's it!" The boy backed away in response, and after a while, brought the tea respectfully.

"Madam, please!" Lin Xueman smiled faintly, seeing that she had the posture of holding a candle to talk at night, so she stood up and poured tea for her calmly.

"Thank you!" A smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Lin's mouth. She turned her head to look at Qin Sanlang who was standing aside, and said, "Sanlang, there are no outsiders here. What are you doing standing there? Sit!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
