Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 144
After Tang Shijie and Tang Shiyuan came out of Luo's residence, their expressions became very long. The two of them never imagined that His Royal Highness King Qi actually found Luo Jiayin.

Today's apology really made the three of them addicted to the drama. Thinking of this, Tang Shijie also felt that when Luo Jiayin came to the inn to eat the Overlord's meal that day, his behavior was a bit weird, and it seemed that His Royal Highness Qi ordered it.

At that moment, Tang Shijie felt very angry in his heart. He was teased for nothing, but that person was much more powerful than himself, and he was not someone he could afford to provoke. Swallow in the stomach.

Just after Tang Shijie returned to Tang's house indignantly, he didn't expect to see the butler come out in a hurry as soon as he entered the door. After seeing the two people, he seemed to see a savior: "It's not good, young master .”

Tang Shijie was already irritable. Seeing his unsteady appearance, he frowned immediately: "What's the matter, so impatient? What a fuss!"

The look on the housekeeper's face did not relax because of what he said, but instead glanced at Tang Shiyuan next to him, hesitant to speak.

Tang Shijie saw clearly the meaning in his eyes, and told Tang Shiyuan who was following behind him: "Go back to your yard first, brother has something to do."

Tang Shiyuan agreed sullenly, and went back to his own yard, all he could think about was how to get back his place with Luo Jiayin next time.

After Tang Shiyuan left, the housekeeper came to Tang Shijie's ear and told him something.

After listening, Tang Shijie, who usually hides his expression in his heart, can't help but show it on his face, pale with shock: "What? Are you serious?"

I saw the butler's face was very solemn: "I have got the exact news."

At this moment, Tang Shijie didn't have the heart to feel angry about what happened just now, his mind was completely occupied by what the housekeeper said just now.

The business of the Tang family covers various industries, but the biggest support for his family is not the inn, but the sale of private salt. You must know that the sale of private salt is never allowed in Yuan Country.

But this Liangcheng is so high that the emperor is far away, and the emperor can't control it here. When encountering officials who come to investigate, he can also prepare in advance and hide all the evidence.

This is also the reason why Tang Shijie wants to take care of everything even if he can't get used to Wei Wentong.

Wei Wentong also knew that Tang Shijie was doing this, but because he paid him enough respect every year, he turned a blind eye to it.

This is what the butler and Tang Shijie were talking about just now.

The source of their smuggled salt came from the country next door——Jiang Country. From Jiang Country to Yuan Country, they needed to cross a big river and travel by water. After entering Yuan Country, they would go overland and transport them to Liangcheng by horse-drawn carriage.

But he never thought that during this shipment, the cargo ship sank, all the private salt entered the water, and everything was gone.

This can't help but make Tang Shijie very anxious, because this private salt can't be transported for a year, and every time it takes a huge risk, so it will only be transported once a year, enough to ensure this. A year's worth of sales is enough.
This time this time is the only way to obtain private salt this year. How can Tang Shijie not be anxious when something like this happens?
If there is no source of goods, it is afraid that Tangjia will lose nearly [-]% of its profits this year.

After the two Tang brothers left from Luo Mansion, Gu Lingqing and Zhao Min also left, and before leaving, they even praised Luo Jiayin a few words.

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Luo Jiayin thought of what Gu Lingqing had praised him just now, and secretly proud of himself, he planned to show off in front of Yan Dong the next time he saw him, because he was praised by the prince himself!

The two walked side by side on the street, Zhao Min was actually a little moved in her heart, she also saw the scene clearly today, presumably Gu Lingqing deliberately set up this situation with the young master of the Toro family, in order to let Tang Shiyuan take such a way of apologizing to myself.

Although Tang Shiyuan was not sincerely apologizing to himself, Zhao Min did feel much more at ease after what happened just now.

"Thank you."

The two words that Zhao Min uttered lightly were extremely pleasant to Gu Lingqing's ears. I have done so many things for her, and I feel very contented that I deserve the words.

But after Zhao Min said this, Gu Lingqing didn't say anything, and the two of them quietly walked side by side on the street, towards Laifu Inn.

After entering the alley of Laifu Inn, Zhao Min stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Lingqing: "My lord, don't see me off anymore, just stop here."

After speaking, Zhao Min was about to turn around and leave. Seeing this, Gu Lingqing grabbed her hand anxiously. Zhao Min looked at his hand held by him, his face was a little red, and he was about to break free immediately.

However, Gu Lingqing put in more effort to make Zhao Min unable to break free, Zhao Min's tone was a little annoyed: "Let go!"

There was a smile on Gu Lingqing's mouth, obviously in a very happy mood: "How are you thinking?"

When Zhao Min heard him ask this question, he naturally remembered all the things he did and said to him that day, and immediately blushed even more, intending to pretend to be crazy: "My daughter doesn't know what the lord is talking about, and my daughter doesn't understand."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingqing pushed forward a few steps, Zhao Min had no choice but to step back, but he didn't want to step on a stone behind him, and was about to fall right now, so Gu Lingqing grabbed her waist and hugged her into his arms.

Feeling the confinement in her arms, Zhao Min felt like her waist was going to be cooked.

"I'll give you a few more days to think about it, but my patience is almost exhausted."

After finishing speaking, Gu Lingqing let go of Zhao Min, stepped back a few steps, and gave Zhao Min a safe distance.

Zhao Min lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Gu Lingqing. Gu Lingqing was delighted when she saw the posture of a little girl like her: "I'm waiting for your answer." After speaking, she turned and left.

Zhao Min kept his head down, feeling a little embarrassed, and when he heard the sound of footsteps fading away, he slowly raised his head, and saw that Gu Lingqing was no longer in front of him, and walked a few steps forward in a strange way .

Now at the corner of the alley, I poked my head out and saw Gu Lingqing walking away.

Gu Lingqing turned her head at this moment, as if she had eyes behind her.

Seeing this, Zhao Min quickly retreated her body, leaned against the wall and patted her chest.

Gu Lingqing looked at the white cloth protruding from the corner of the wall, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became even brighter.
