The innkeeper was heartbroken when he heard this.

"Dare you scare the Hou Ye to play! How much silver do you have? ”

Su Qiange swallowed the roast duck in his mouth and looked at the shopkeeper puzzled, "Why should I tell you how much silver I have?" ”

"Don't you want to open a restaurant in the capital and want me to help, then you have to let me know how much you are, so I can consider helping!"

Swing your fingers.

Su Qiange said, "I don't want you to help, I give you the opportunity to earn more silver, in other words, if you should come down to this matter, I will be your owner in the future, you follow me to make money, and I want to know how much money the owner has, what is the intention?" ”

The innkeeper, "...... Don't deal with me the same way you did against the old marquis! I really want to do business, everyone is in business, no one will do it if you don't feel at ease, you know? ”

Hearing this, Su Qiange reached out and took a cake and handed it to the innkeeper, and by the way, pulled the roast duck over and put it between the two.

"You're cooperating with me in the business of the capital, and I'll leave the affairs of the capital to you soon." Saying that, Su Qiange found herself a small cake again.

The innkeeper was thoughtful when he heard this.

"That's true, but I have a question."

As he spoke, the innkeeper approached Su Qiange's side and said in a low voice, "How did you and Little Hou Ye meet?" You may not know that the little Hou Ye is too complicated, he has been in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves do not touch his body, but no matter what, it has not reached the extent that the old Hou Ye has come forward, your current situation, this is the little Hou Ye is serious about you! ”

When Su Qiange heard this, while eating roast duck, he tilted his head and looked at the innkeeper in confusion.

Imperial.

Yun Jiuxiao looked at Princess Ping'an standing in front of him unscathed with satisfaction, and said to Princess Ping'an, "You have been in the imperial tomb for several months, and you must be very tired, so you must be very tired, just rest early, tomorrow my father will let the monks of Huguo Temple come to recite the scriptures for you to drive away evil spirits." ”

Hearing this, Princess Ping'an raised her head and looked at Yun Jiuxiao, she had something to say, but after seeing Yun Jiuxiao's eyes, she could only swallow the words that had already been in her throat.

"Yes, Father." Even so, after Princess Ping'an agreed to Yun Jiuxiao, her eyes still involuntarily looked at Xue Chen beside her, "Then, the courtier will retire." ”

After speaking, Princess Ping'an turned around and left the Taiji Hall with the support of the little eunuch in the eunuch hall.

Princess Ping'an walked to the door, paused, held the hand of the little eunuch who was holding her tightly, and said to him, "You go back, I will go back alone, no one needs to send me." ”

The little eunuch was stunned when he was caught, and turned his head to look at Princess Ping'an.

"Princess, I'm sending you, it's not good to go back at this time, if the emperor finds out, you will lose your head!"

"Just say that I don't want people to follow, doesn't my father know, I hate people who are not from my palace to follow me."

As soon as Princess Ping'an let go, a silver ingot fell into the hands of the little eunuch, and the little eunuch almost instinctively put a silver ingot in his hand into his sleeve, but his eyes were always staring at the back of Princess Ping'an.

After thinking about it, the little eunuch still accepted the ingot of silver, turned around and entered the Taiji Palace.

As soon as Yun Jiuxiao wanted to speak, he saw the little eunuch come in, and couldn't help frowning, "Didn't you let you go to send peace?" ”

Seeing this, the little eunuch immediately knelt down and reported, "If you go back to the emperor, Princess Ping'an doesn't like anyone, so she has to come back with a slave, and the slave has to follow." ”

Yun Jiuxiao was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and stay aside." ”

Hearing this, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the side where he had just stood, retreated, and stood quietly, as if nothing had happened, and the Taiji Hall returned to its original appearance.

Yun Jiuxiao looked at Xue Chen below, and praised with a smile, "Good job, I heard that you saved Ping An and captured the leader who led the uprising of the disaster victims in the north, I originally only thought that it was enough for you to protect Ping An's safety, but I didn't expect you to make such a great contribution!" ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yun Jiuxiao suspiciously, "Your Majesty, do you know about the great drought in the north?" ”

"It's nature." Yun Jiuxiao looked at Xue Chen, and after realizing Xue Chen's eyes, he naturally explained, "I am already thinking of a way, the north is too far away, the temperature difference between the four seasons varies greatly, the bed of the only river has narrowed, coupled with the invasion of locusts, the disasters are superimposed, and it is difficult to solve it at once." ”

Saying that, Yun Jiuxiao sighed and said, "Disasters are not formed in a day or two, and naturally they cannot be solved in a day or two, not to mention that there are few talents in this area of Dayun, and it is not realistic to rely on allocation, food allocation, and disaster relief alone." ”

Seeing that Xue Chen's expression was becoming more and more wrong, Yun Jiuxiao immediately changed the topic.

"Su Qing, I am very satisfied with your protection of peace this time." After a pause, Yun Jiuxiao said, "You should also know that I have always been very satisfied with you, and I told you a long time ago that I want you to be safe, and if you are a colt, I will be happy." ”

When Yun Jiuxiao's words landed, Xue Chen realized that it seemed that the thing he had been waiting for and worrying about for a long time had finally arrived.

"Your Majesty." While Xue Chen knelt on the ground and saluted, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to ask for. ”

The distance between the two was not far, and Yun Jiuxiao roughly understood at a glance that Xu Ce was very kind, but Yun Jiuxiao completely pretended not to understand, and looked at Xue Chen suspiciously.

"Things? What's the matter? Yun Jiuxiao smiled and said, "I think it's better for you to finish listening to my affairs first." ”

As he spoke, Yun Jiuxiao twisted his beard and asked Xue Chen tentatively.

"How do you feel about peace? The last time I asked you, you didn't give me a satisfactory answer. ”

"The top of the world's beauty list, natural and extraordinary." Xue Chen said truthfully.

"Well, I'll just say, my peace, I am the best woman in the world, such a woman, and a princess, must be the dream of many men."

"Nature." Xue Chenmuran responded.

"What about you, what do you think?"

In fact, the whole questioning process was just a time for Xue Chen to be considered by Yun Jiuxiao, Yun Jiuxiao stared at Xue Chen, thinking that if Xue Chen was interested at this moment, he should put away what he wanted to say, but looking at Xue Chen's movements, it didn't seem to mean that.

Yun Jiuxiao frowned, waiting for Xue Chen's move.

Xue Chen spoke, "Princess Ping'an is naturally good, but Weichen has already intended it in his heart!" Weichen and Su Qiange, in love, have already signed a marriage letter, only the words of the matchmaker of his parents, Weichen understands what the emperor means, but she is the only one in the minister's heart. ”

It's just a clear rejection of the emperor's wishes.

Yun Jiuxiao didn't expect Xue Chen to refuse so decisively, calming the anger in his heart, Yun Jiuxiao knew that of course he could threaten Xue Chen to marry Princess Ping'an, just like threatening Xue Chen to be in charge of the tribute of all countries.

is about the lifelong happiness of Princess Ping'an, Yun Jiuxiao thinks he is a responsible father, at least when facing Princess Ping'an.

Therefore, Yun Jiuxiao didn't want Princess Ping'an to be wronged.

In fact, if it weren't for Princess Ping'an who had always expressed her intention to like Xue Chen, in fact, Yun Jiuxiao didn't necessarily have to ask Xue Chen to be a colt.

But now, when he and Princess Ping'an both expressed their appreciation for Yun Jiuxiao, Yun Jiuxiao did such a thing, which was undoubtedly a huge thing for Yun Jiuxiao.

Yun Jiuxiao was silent for a long time, and simply changed the topic, "Infatuation is naturally a good thing, but there are also things more important than infatuation. ”

After a pause, Yun Jiuxiao said, "Since Ping An was ambushed by the victims this time, you protected her thoroughly, and you had experience in disaster management in the past, do you also have your own opinions on the matter of this great drought in the north?" ”

"Your Majesty?"

Xue Chen looked up at Yun Jiuxiao, he was originally going to break the cauldron, but he didn't want Yun Jiuxiao to give him a choice question at this time.

If others might hesitate to seize this opportunity, but Xue Chen didn't want to seize it, he looked at Yun Jiuxiao calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Weichen, there is!" ”

Yun Jiuxiao frowned, and couldn't help but chuckle out loud for a while.

It seems that Xue Chen has no way back for himself, and Yun Jiuxiao feels that he doesn't need to find a way to excuse Xue Chen anymore.

If a person is unwilling to live, then no matter how much others save him, he will not choose to survive, and this principle is the same in today's matter.

"In that case, then this great drought in the north, I will clear you and solve it, and you will set off for the north in three days, and you will see if the time I give you is enough?"

Although Yun Jiuxiao looks like 'not enough, just tell me, will I not give you time?' But in fact, it is really unacceptable, Xue Chen has really done things for Yun Jiuxiao for so long, and it is very clear.

The drought in the north is different from the flood in Yangzhou, the population in the north is already small, most of them are exiled to the past guilty people, and even many are corrupt officials, they are not guilty to death but there is no need to be supported by the big clouds, they drag their families to live there.

The reason why the emperor doesn't care about the drought in the north is because of these people, Xue Chen can guess eighty or ninety percent, and the emperor probably wants them to die.

And as in the eyes of everyone, only the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is the background, and the emperor is the backer, Xue Chen, who went to that kind of sinister place, is basically no different from exile.

Xue Chen knew that at this moment, in the eyes of the emperor, he seemed to be becoming an existence that did not die but was worthless to live, but it was just called "disaster treatment".

These were of course sinister, but Xue Chen was not afraid, thinking that he had a firmer belief in his heart.

Anyway, those so-called faces and adoring eyes are just blessings given by others, and Xue Chen himself wants to see how he can do after taking off this blessing.

Xue Chen raised his hands, interlocked his five fingers, and said to Yun Jiuxiao in a deep voice, "Obey the emperor's holy decree, Xue Chen, Xue Suqing, a micro-minister, is willing to go north to deal with the drought!" ”

Yun Jiuxiao squinted slightly when he heard this, and his hand clutched the handrail beside him hard, he was really angry by Xue Chen's move, obviously he should be the most promising young man, but because of his little love......

"Good! Since this is the case, then Aiqing will go down and go back to prepare well. ”

"Huh."

After speaking, Xue Chen got up, took two steps back, turned around and left the Taiji Hall.

Xue Chen had just walked out of the Taiji Palace, and after a few steps, he heard the sound of smashing things inside, but Xue Chen's footsteps did not stop but left the imperial city in great stride.

The little eunuch in front of the Taiji Hall told the words of Xue Chen and Yun Jiuxiao to Princess Ping'an.

Although the little eunuch intuitively felt that such an honest confession would stimulate Princess Ping'an, after all, he took people's money and people to eliminate disasters.

"He just gave up this palace for a woman who smelled of the kitchen?" Although Princess Ping'an thought that Su Qiange was a threat before, she never thought that this threat was so big, "Father-in-law Yu, call someone to investigate now!" Where is Su Qiange? This palace must meet her well this time! ”
