Chapter 254 Into the Swallow
Qin You insisted on visiting Xiao Junwan, but saw Xiao Junwan sitting in the room drinking tea and looking through the account books
"Isn't my sister sick?" Fang Ruoshui asked waitingly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Junwan didn't move her gaze, and the corners of her lips raised: "Is it possible that minor illnesses and pains also need to be recuperated in bed?" ”
"Wanwan, your family has just ......"
"Your Highness, I have heard it all, I am not feeling well today, and it is inconvenient to see them."
"Your Highness, then let's not disturb my sister's rest, let's go."
"Wait." Xiao Junwan shouted to Fang Ruoshui, closed the booklet in his hand and handed it to Fang Ruoshui, "Ask a few more people to count the luggage, if you don't need to take it to Yan Kingdom, just send it here temporarily." ”
"Yes." Fang Ruoshui took it and left with Qin You.
Qin You walked a few steps, stopped again, and looked back at Xiao Junwan, she took the teacup and looked away, but she looked out the window.
As soon as the Xiao family made such a fuss, Xiao Junwan immediately decided to stay in Shuiyun County for a long time, so he asked Fang Ruoshui to count it quickly, and set off for the city tomorrow, seven days earlier than the date of the entry of Yan Guo that he had been informed before.
Xiao Junwan stood in front of the window from time to time and looked, although the business of the Xiao family's money village was prosperous, but the silk village was full of people. In the past few days, I have heard the people of the inn mention that the Xiao family's business is doing well, is this all the credit of the eldest son Xiao Xing? Xiao Junwan didn't believe it, although she didn't know how to do business, she remembered that Xiao Xing didn't seem to be very competitive, let alone like a businessman.
"Miss is still looking at the Silk Village?" Ziying asked.
"No, I'm just curious why the business of the Silk Village is so bleak, and how does this shop survive?"
"I passed by yesterday and took a look, the silk and satin village are all sold in the fine silk and satin, only high-ranking officials and nobles will buy it, where can the people of Shuiyun County afford to wear it."
"Aren't they trading at a loss by opening their shop here?"
"I heard that this shop is for guests from afar to come to see the goods, and a few friends I know said that the Xiao family's business has gone to Yanguo."
"Really?" Xiao Junwan was surprised.
Since the First World War of Qi and Yan, although the two countries have not cut off trade exchanges, Yan has imposed heavy taxes on Qi merchants, but Qi has not dared to do so or speak up. The trade barriers of Yan have discouraged many Qi merchants, and now very few Qi merchants have done business in Yan.
"I've heard them talk a lot about what has happened in the past few years, I'm afraid Miss doesn't know that the Xiao family is not only in Fujia Shuiyun County, but also in the entire Xunzhou Mansion, and there is no businessman who is bigger than the Xiao family."
What is the business of the Xiao family, Xiao Junwan is interested in knowing but not interested. She recalled that in the past, in addition to the second grandmother of the Xiao family, there was also a county official surnamed Zhang.
"Is that Zhang County Order still there?"
"I've been promoted a long time ago, but I didn't expect that such a dog official could also be promoted."
Xiao Junwan sneered: "Where the Tiangao Emperor is far away, as long as there is silver, why is it difficult to be promoted." ”
When the sky was light, the car drove on the road.
Sending protons into Yan is not a glorious thing, Emperor Taihong did not announce it to the world, so he has never disclosed Qin You's identity along the way, and there are no officials to greet him wherever he goes, and no people visit him, they only know that the people who pass by here are not ordinary people, and they don't know who they are.
Although Xiao Junwan had already instructed Fang Ruoshui to only pick up the necessary things to take with him, Fang Ruoshui still left all the things he was traveling with, and he couldn't bear to give them up, after all, what he brought was nothing but luggage and treasures.
Out of the city, the sky was already bright, Xiao Junwan looked outside, the land was still so barren, and the mountains in the distance were as lush as ever.
The carriage and horse stopped at the junction of Qi and Yan, and the Yan army was already waiting ahead. Xiao Junwan specially glanced out of the carriage first, and confirmed that there were no acquaintances in the team before getting out of the carriage.
The generals of the Qi army came over and bowed their hands to Xiao Junwan: "Lord Shangyi, the last generals can only send His Highness here." ”
Xiao Junwan nodded: "The commander has worked hard all the way, don't worry about going back to Sui An." ”
Fang Ruoshui walked to Xiao Junjuan's side, looked back at the territory of Qi Kingdom, and sighed: "Sister, let's go, when will we come back." ”
"How do I know?"
The general of the Yan army walked towards the two and asked, "Where is the fourth prince of Qi?" ”
Fang Ruoshui said: "Your Highness is in the carriage, are you?" ”
"I am Wu Ying, the captain of the garrison of Yuguancheng, and I was ordered to send the fourth prince of Qi to Handu, if there is nothing else, I will leave immediately." After Captain Wu said this, he asked the soldiers to get on their horses and prepare to leave.
Fang Ruoshui muttered in Xiao Junwan's ear: "Captain, this is an eight-rank junior official in Qi State, and this person is so arrogant, he actually called His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Qi, and Yan Guo actually asked the nearby garrison to pick up His Highness, is it too hasty?" ”
Fang Ruoshui's father was a military general, and she didn't feel strange to know these Xiao Junjuan.
"You don't know what a proton is? His Royal Highness is here for a hostage, not a guest, and if you can endure it, you will endure it. Xiao Junwan said lightly.
"Will life ever be better after that? How could His Highness endure such suffering?
Xiao Junwan didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned around and walked back to the carriage, now that she was in the territory of Yan Kingdom, she couldn't wait.
This letter is on the official road, passing through Yuguan City.
Xiao Junwan looked out the window, with a smile on the corner of her lips, she walked with Ling Hao on this road back then.
Time passed, the carriage moved forward, getting closer and closer to Handu, and when approaching Yuguan City, the carriage and horses suddenly stopped.
After Ziying went down to investigate, she found out that it was the Ningguo delegation that had also arrived outside Yuguan City, so she asked the Qi State to make way for Ningguo.
The Ningguo delegation was supposed to arrive before them, but because Xiao Junwan ordered to leave when he was in Shuiyun County, the Qi State chariot arrived a few days earlier than expected, and the two countries collided.
It doesn't take time to report such incidents, it is up to local officials to decide.
Now although the national strength of Qi is above Ning, Yan and Qi are incompatible, and Yan and Ning have always had a very good relationship, and one is here to give gifts, and the other is to hostage, so you don't have to think about who the officials of Yuguancheng will let go first.
Finally entered the city, and the accommodation arranged by the Yuguan officials for Qin You was the backyard of the post house, with only a garden in between, but it was a different scene before and after.
The front yard is the place of hospitality, this backyard was used by the small servants in the post house, and now the Ningguo mission lives in the front yard, and the people of the post house will vacate the backyard to Qi Guo.
This made Fang Ruoshui, who was already complaining, even more annoyed: "Even if you let the people of Ning Guo live in front, you can't let His Highness live in such a place." Fang Ruoshui knew how powerful Xiao Junwan was, so he was counting on Xiao Junjuan to come forward to negotiate with Yan Guo in order to change this situation.
Since they entered the backyard, Fang Ruoshui has been complaining to Xiao Junjuan, even if he doesn't dare to complain openly, he would rather keep his voice down than shut up, and Xiao Junjuan has turned a deaf ear to this. (To be continued.) )
