After finishing the meal in Su Mansion, Su Wanyan and Duanmu Rui discussed with Su Sui what happened in the past two days, and was glad that the emperor released Su Sui under the pressure of public opinion, and did not insist on going his own way.

Duanmu Rui said mockingly: "Speaking of the current situation in the court, my father-in-law was able to come out of the prison, and thanks to the prime minister, now he is the most trusted by the emperor in the court, he went to intercede for his father-in-law, and the emperor finally decided to let you out." ”

Su Sui was indignant: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be imprisoned." ”

Then he snorted coldly, "He also figured out the emperor's thoughts, the emperor is so suspicious and distrustful of me, sooner or later there will be this one." ”

"Fortunately, I'm back, what are my father-in-law's plans for the future?" Duanmu Rui asked.

Su Sui sighed: "Temporarily recuperate at home, and we'll talk about it after this while." ”

"It's okay, lest the emperor be restless again."

After speaking, Su Wanyan and Duanmu Rui returned to the palace, just now Duanmu Rui called Su Sui's father-in-law, and her heart was warm all the way.

talked about the Huns in the carriage, because there was no result of the discussion, after returning to the palace, the two went to Duanmu Rui's courtyard together.

Recently, the weather is very cold, especially this night, the water outside is dripping into ice, but the house is burning the earth dragon, very warm, Duanmu Rui let the people come up to tea and fruit snacks, and light a lot of candlesticks, a little bit of desertion on weekdays, feel warm and comfortable.

"Today, some generals are angry and kill the Hun envoys, but I haven't seen any reaction from them until now, why is this?" Su Wanyan asked.

Duanmu Rui put down the teacup in his hand, "This thing is really strange, there must be demons when things go wrong, I don't know what they want to do." ”

Su Wanyan wanted to rebel again, Qu Long had deliberately approached her recently, because he was a proton who came to sue for peace, and she was a little polite to him, he couldn't have misunderstood anything.

But she hesitated for a moment and didn't tell Duanmu Rui, she just didn't know if his deliberate approach had anything to do with today's events.

Duanmu Rui said again: "They didn't make trouble, probably because they didn't want to stiffen the relationship, maybe there would be bigger plans in the future." ”

Su Wanyan nodded, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

The next day, Duanmu Rui found a reason to arrange Yiqulong's residence far away from the palace and away from the post house, on the one hand, to avoid any intentions against the palace, and to make it less convenient for him to contact other envoys who lived in the post house.

But even so, it still couldn't stop Yiqu Long from approaching Su Wanyan, and recently when the New Year was approaching, he handed a letter to Su Wanyan, inviting her to go shopping in the market to see what fresh New Year's goods were, saying that among the people he knew in the capital, he had no local friends except her.

Su Wanyan read the letter and knew that he was deliberately approaching him again, judging from the fact that he spoke fluent Chinese, how could he not have local friends in the capital, but in order to find out their conspiracy, he agreed to his invitation.

Lingxiu asked her if she wanted to report to the prince, she thought about it for a while and felt that there was no need, Yiqu Long should not do anything to her now, and besides, she would let the people of the Surprise Word Hall follow.

She went out alone to meet Yiqulong, and the two came to the market where they specialized in buying New Year's goods, only to see a dazzling array of goods on both sides of the street, from candied fruit to chicken, duck and fish, as well as those who wrote couplets, those who sold lanterns, new clothes, and even those who sold their arts, which was very lively.

The two walked all the way and looked all the way, Yiqulong bought some candied fruit, picked and chosen, and said to Su Wanyan: "My favorite shop is called Baiguo Zhai, and the candied fruit they make is very particular, very clean, very fresh, and sweet but not greasy. ”

Su Wanyan thought to herself that you Huns had nothing, and the rarest thing was sugar and salt, so she said: "You have the time to make all kinds of messy and harmful medicines, why don't you give your people research on how to make sugar in your grassland, and salt, don't you need these two things the most, and food." ”

"Not all the medicines I refine are harmful, but some also cure diseases and save people, otherwise I would not have become a holy son." As he spoke, his eyes never took his eyes off the food.

"Last time, you burned all my medicine and stole my magic medicine, that magic medicine is not harmful." As if he suddenly remembered, he asked, "By the way, did you use that medicine?" ”

Su Wanyan was a little embarrassed, after all, she was from someone else, she smiled and said, "You said that medicine, I lost it." ”

"Lost, such a good thing, let you lose it?" Yoshiqu looked at her in disbelief.

"yes, I accidentally lost it when I ran away. Besides, if you think about what you did to me, treat me as a medicine man, I can waste time shopping with you now, just for the sake of me taking your magic medicine. ”

It's okay if she doesn't want to, the more Su Wanyan thinks about it, the more she feels justified, and even her momentum grows.

Yiqu Long didn't have anything to say, he was really sorry for her first, so he shut up and concentrated on shopping.

Seeing that there were a lot of people buying lo-mei, I couldn't help but buy some, and asked Su Wanyan: "How do you know that our grassland lacks salt and sugar?" ”

"Of course I do." Su Wanyan looked underestimated, and looked at Yiqulong with slanted eyes.

Yiqu Long nodded again and again, "Okay, I know, you are not an ordinary boudoir girl, you are well-informed, smart and brave, better than our grassland girls, and better than you Han girls." ”

Su Wanyan saw that he knew him so well, and she listened to him, thinking that his current appearance was much more pleasing than when he was in Hongye Ridge, but this might be part of his conspiracy, so she reminded herself not to take it lightly.

"But it's impossible to grow food on the grassland, let alone make sugar and salt." Yiqu Long became a little excited as he spoke, "Do you know what the grassland looks like? The wind and sand are very strong, and it is cold almost half of the year. ”

I really underestimated her, in the last life, she lived on the grassland for a whole year in order to carry out the mission, of course she knew what the grassland was like. She also saw that many people farmed, and the vegetables and fruits were also very good, but the thoughts of the grassland people in this era had not yet been civilized to that extent, and they never thought that they could live that kind of settled and happy life, but they just followed the traditional habits and lived a nomadic life of living by grass.

But she couldn't say this, so she said: "I read the book that all planting must be adapted to local conditions, and the sandy soil of your grassland, there are crops suitable for sandy soil, and it is definitely not possible to grow wheat and rice." Some crops can also be cultivated to make them suitable for local cultivation. ”

Yiqu Long said in surprise: "What you said is true, you can cultivate suitable seeds?" ”

"Of course, for example, someone recently brought back potatoes from overseas, you can take them back and plant them, and there will always be a living one of a hundred planted, so this one may be suitable for that kind of soil, because whether it is a person, an animal or an animal, they will change themselves with the changes in the external environment, forcing themselves to adapt to that strange environment." Su Wanyan remembered that she lived on the grassland at that time and saw many people growing potatoes and the harvest was very good.

Yiqulong felt that it made sense, kept nodding, and even forgot to eat the candied fruit, urging Su Wanyan to continue.

Su Wanyan rolled her eyes silently, and said in her heart that what she said was discovered by biologists who don't know how long it took to study, and now she is telling you that you are picking up a big bargain.

She continued: "As for sugar production, there is probably not much that can be done, but you can grow fruit trees suitable for the grassland, you can make caramel candy, or you can keep bees, and you can get honey, but it's not so easy. But salt production is possible, there are many ways to make salt, sea salt does not work, but there is lake salt, there are many lakes in the vast grassland, and lake salt can definitely be found. ”

When she lived on the grassland, people ate the local lake salt.

After listening to Yiqulong, it took a while to come back to his senses, and his mind was filled with too many fresh things, which he couldn't digest for a while, as if there was a storm hitting him.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, it makes a lot of sense, I can't imagine that you know so much." He said this sentence for a long time, because he didn't know what to say, and he felt that this sentence couldn't express his heart at all, he looked at Su Wanyan's eyes full of admiration and admiration, and he was so excited that his eyes were bloodshot.

"These things are easy to say, but it is too difficult to implement, but there should be no problem for you, because the development of those strange medicines is the same as researching these, and it will make a greater contribution to you Huns, which will make you stronger, and you will definitely gain by spending more time."

Su Wanyan deliberately said it so mysteriously, and also praised Yiqu Long very highly, just to make him better spend his energy on this in the future, and he didn't dare to be interested in anything else, so he wouldn't think about any conspiracy, and everyone could take a breath.

Yiqulong's deep eyes looked at her unusually bright, and the gods chattered: "Otherwise, if you go back to the Xiongnu with me, teach us to plant, and make our minds more enlightened, I will definitely make you the most revered person, more respected than the king of the Huns, and I will also give you a lot of treasures, and I will develop the best magic medicine, so that you will stay young and immortal." ”

Su Wanyan was three steps away from him, and stretched out his hand to block him, "Don't scare me, I don't want to stay young forever, that's a monster, immortality is also a lie, so many emperors take what elixir want to make themselves last forever, but you go through history, which one of them has lived to be more than a hundred years old." ”

Yiqu Long opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

After walking around for a while, Su Wanyan saw that Yiqulong was such a big person, silent and silent, as if she had shrunk and was about to lose her sense of existence, she hooked her lips and smiled proudly, "Have you bought enough and eaten enough, I will go back soon." ”

"Ahh Yiqu Long nodded again and again, like a broken urge.

Su Wanyan thought that this ideological crushing would make Yiqulong stop for a while, but two days later, he handed in the letter and invited her out, so she put down what she was doing to answer the appointment.

Yiqu Long is very respectful to her, talk and do things to put her in front, this day said that the plum blossoms by the Bihu Lake are blooming just right, and asked her to see the plum blossoms, after reading the plum blossoms, he wrapped the painting boat again, Yiqu Long is actually well-informed, the two talked speculatively, and unconsciously it was dark.

After several contacts, Su Wanyan found that Yi Qulong didn't seem to care about political affairs, and never told her about this topic, he was interested in astronomy, geography, mathematics, and what she said that day about crop planting.

Su Wanyan was a little confused, she didn't know what his real purpose was for approaching her, he didn't mention political affairs, she couldn't start if she wanted to investigate, and if she talked too much, she might expose herself.

When she found that it was dark, she offered to go back, and Yoshikyu asked her to wait a little longer, and after a while, fireworks were set off by the lake, and they watched the fireworks in the middle of the lake, across the foggy lake, and it felt more like a dream, so beautiful that it was intoxicating, and it seemed that they could forget all the worries of time.

Su Wanyan has never been very interested in these dreamy and beautiful things, she only likes real things that can be touched, but at this time, on the warm cruise ship, the cool wind is blowing, mixed with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and the fireworks are like blooming in a dream.

"This is specially prepared for you, is it pretty?"

Yiqu Long has a high nose and deep eyes, and the appearance of tenderness is also a little moving, she automatically ignored the previous sentence he said, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's good-looking." ”

But her heart is churning, is this person's purpose her? No, she must have been thinking too much, and this must have been part of his conspiracy.
