Zhu Zhitong frowned, looked at Su Xiaochen, and had the same expression, and thought of about one place.

The file that the two of them read that night also said that the 100 catties of ore in this mine cave can produce five or six taels of real gold, which is a rare and good mine. But in the half year that Zhao Yu took over, he could only make two or three taels. Even the miners know about it, so it seems that this Zhao Yu is really full of his own pockets.

At this time, the eldest brother whispered again: "So I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I'm idle when I'm idle, so it's better to sneak into the cave quietly, dig some ore and sift it out by myself, and it will be enough to eat for several years!" What do you think? Which of you is brave enough to come with me? ”

Everyone was obviously a little timid, and the well-behaved person from before laughed and said, "Wasn't this cave closed back then, how can you get in?" What's more, what if the monsters are still there? We still can't compare to the courage of the eldest brother...... I...... I'm not going. ”

The eldest brother slapped his chest twice, and there was a little smug in his words: "You guys don't know, I've been playing in that area since I was a child, and I know that there is a small hole in the back mountain, but the weeds cover it and can't see it, so I quietly went in and dug from there." Besides, twenty years have passed, and I haven't heard the movement of demon beasts anymore, and I'm afraid of a bird. If you are reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, don't envy our brother for making a fortune if you are timid. ”

As soon as he said this, there was a bold echo: "Big brother, I'll go to me, there are still several people in my family waiting for dinner, and if I dig up gold, my mother will be happy." Several people were clamoring to go with them.

The eldest brother sighed, still lowered his voice and said: "Then tonight's second watch, meet at the street intersection of Taipingqiao East, bring good guys, don't blame me for not waiting for someone when it's over!" After saying that, he shouted a few more times, and the settlement broke up.

Su Xiaochen saw that Zhu Zhitong was overjoyed when she heard this, and knew that she must be itching to follow her to see what was going on, thinking that this was really not an ordinary princess, and she was more courageous than herself. He asked, "Are you going to follow?" ”

Zhu Zhitong exclaimed: "That's natural, I don't believe in any demon beasts." What's more, we just follow them, and run away when we see that the signs are wrong, Sister Yin has taught me a lot of tricks, so I'm not afraid. ”

Su Xiaochen really couldn't cry or laugh, thinking about it, he knew that as soon as this princess came out of the palace, her heart would be boundless. said that he came to listen to the reasons for the civil uprising, but in fact, just this eavesdropping just now, it is enough to deal with Zhu Zhiling's errand, so why bother to make extraneous branches. But let her go alone, and she doesn't feel at ease, so she has to follow.

Just thinking about it, two officials came in from outside the store, and when they came in, they knocked and said: "Your Highness can let the little ones find it easy, Lord Shen has prepared a sedan chair and is outside, please get on the sedan chair for Your Highness." ”

Zhu Zhitong looked angry, pretended to sigh deeply, smiled at Su Xiaochen again, and walked out of the tea shop first.

The north side of Nanhua Island is the side of San'in, which is full of strange valleys and caves, rocks and cliffs, and most of the mineral deposits are buried deep in it. But the southern side of the island is peaceful, and it faces the sun, which is a different story entirely. Not only is it sunny all year round, but along the beach, the fine sand is stretching, and the seashells are everywhere. Especially in the evening, when the sun sets and the tide is sent, it is really a beautiful scenery that makes people forget to return.

Wen Zhai occupies the most beautiful section of this beach.

When the sedan chair stopped steadily in front of the gate of the Wen Mansion, Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen found that a bunch of people were kneeling neatly in front of the magnificent mansion. At the head was an old man with gray temples and a majestic figure. I saw that he was dressed in a dark red robe with a black background, wearing a gold crown with openwork plain flowers, and when he saw the sedan chair stopping, he shouted loudly: "The grass people heard that you were ordered to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyang." All the people behind him also knocked on the ground, and did not dare to lift their heads.

Zhu Zhitong saw Wen Hegui, thought about it for a while, laughed, and said, "It turned out to be you, I forgot that you live on this Nanhua Island." Without changing his face, he said to Su Xiaochen: "I asked Shen Xianyun not to disturb the people, but she was well-behaved and brought me here." Well, stay here. ”

Su Xiaochen saw that she seemed to know the owner of the house between her words, and wanted to ask but hindered Wen Hegui standing next to him and couldn't speak, but he caught a glimpse of Wen Hegui smiling at him.

"Presumably, this is the famous Cangwu Kingdom that gave the green jade crown of the Su scholar! The old decay has been admired for a long time! This time I was able to stay in the humble house and see my dignity, which was really fortunate for three lives, and it was full of brilliance. Wen Hegui's face was beaming, which was no worse than the respectful attitude when he spoke to Zhu Zhitong just now.

Su Xiaochen was said to be very clear, and the imperial jade crown ink leaf shirt was only less than a year old, how could he be so clear about this person who had never known each other across the world, the sea, and the north? At the moment, I had to return the salute and said: "I am afraid that my husband will hear about it." ”

Zhu Zhitong also didn't expect that Su Xiaochen had never seen Wen Hegui, how could Wen Hegui look so happy when he saw him, as if he had been reunited after a long absence.

Wen Hegui replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the grass people have prepared a thin banquet ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Zhitong pushed his small hand, intercepted the conversation and said: "Uncle Wen, I have never liked red tape, I don't like these troublesome things, and you probably know it." This time, I want to come out quietly and take a walk, you don't have to be so restrained. ”

Wen Hegui is a sophisticated person who is good at observing colors, hearing Zhu Zhitong say this, while saying yes, he turned his left hand back, and the housekeeper behind him had already seen it in his eyes, and only made a gesture, and all the family servants immediately retreated cleanly.

"Since Your Highness is happy, I have ordered someone to clean up the Guanlan Pavilion and Yitao Xuan for the two of you to rest, and later move the banquet to the flower hall of the Guanlan Pavilion, the old man is dizzy, and he doesn't dare to serve the left and right, so he won't disturb His Royal Highness and Master Su." He turned around again and said in a low voice: "Steward Lin, you have locked all the courtyards and wings next to the Guanlan Pavilion, and in these days that Your Highness is here, no idlers are allowed to trespass, so as not to disturb Your Highness." ”

Steward Nalin replied expressionlessly: "Yes." He bowed and said, "The villain leads the way in front, please move your highness." ”

Seeing the two enter the house, Wen Hegui still stood in place and did not move. After a while, a person came out from behind the huge stone lion in front of the house, slowly walked in front of Wen Hegui, nodded and said, "Thanks to Brother Wen's great help, there will be Brother Lao Wen these days." ”

Wen Hegui smiled and said, "Lord Shen is serious, since it is a matter that Lord Shangshu personally asked, how dare Wen be lazy." Lord Shen also heard it, I have ordered the courtyard where these two people live to be locked around, if she wants to make any movement, she will not be able to escape my eyes, Lord Shen can rest assured now? ”

Shen Xianyun heard this, and giggled: "I can't complain that Master Shangshu values you so much, and you don't leak anything, little sister, I am willing to bow down." ”

Zhu Zhitong and Su Xiaochen followed Steward Lin into the door of the house, only to see that the front of them suddenly opened up, and there were pavilions and pavilions in the past. Although it is not as beautiful as the Qionglou Yuyu of Taiye Island, it is full of luxury, but it is also a high-hall mansion, and it is beautiful. Zhu Zhitong took a closer look, the two sides of the trail were inlaid with white marble, the pillar piers in front of the building were purple gold rock, and even the stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion were made of moss jade, which was unambiguous. Su Xiaochen was born in an official eunuch, and his uncle was also a scholar in the first dynasty, and now when he saw such a mansion, he couldn't help but gasp, and sighed in his heart.

The three of them twisted and turned, as if they were in a maze. Along the way, I met a tall grandmother, glanced at Su Xiaochen, and when she saw Steward Lin waving at her, she hurriedly dodged, as if she was well-trained.

The three of them went around a cup of tea before entering a beautiful courtyard.

Steward Lin still didn't smile, and said lightly: "The left head of this courtyard is Guanlan Pavilion, and the right head is Yi Taoxuan, the villain will lock the courtyard when he turns around, and there will be no idle people to disturb His Royal Highness and scholars." The villain is outside the courtyard at any time, and His Royal Highness can call the villain if he has orders. ”

Zhu Zhitong's face changed when she heard this: "What does this mean?" If the lock is dropped, if I want to go out, won't I have to knock on the door and find someone to open the lock? ”

Steward Lin said in a low voice: "The master said that the passage of the house is complicated, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit the main gate, there is a back door in the garden of this courtyard, which leads directly to the sea, and the door key is under the white peony on the side, and His Royal Highness can do his own convenience." With that, he withdrew from the door.

The two waited for Steward Lin to go out before they glanced at each other. Zhu Zhitong let out a long breath: "It's okay to leave, my face is sour." ”

Su Xiaochen couldn't help laughing: "I really rarely see you talking with such a face, and I can't hold back when I think of you." ”

The two of them walked into the flower hall, and the spacious hall was empty, only a table of good food and wine was placed there. Zhu Zhitong nodded with satisfaction, "This old man is good at doing things, I said that I wanted to be quiet, so he didn't leave any of them, which is exactly what I want." I'm also very hungry, Da Su come and try the authentic fisherman's food here. ”

When Su Xiaochen said this, she remembered that she hadn't eaten anything except a few cups of tea, and she was so hungry that she forgot a little.

The two of them ate happily for a while, and felt that they were refreshed again, and their hands slowed down. Zhu Zhitong pointed to a plate of fish and said, "Taste it, this is the catfish." Su Xiaochen saw that the milky white fish meat was neatly cut, and spices such as peppers, cinnamon powder, tea, salt, and balsamic vinegar were sprinkled on top. It looks delicious.

Su Xiaochen put a chopstick in his mouth, and suddenly felt a strong strange smell stir the tip of his tongue upside down, and spit it out with a "wow", which frightened Zhu Zhitong. He looked at the plate of fish again, and immediately understood, and said with a wry smile: "You just praised him for being able to do things...... The Xianyun five-flavor dish I mentioned is five kinds of spices to be tasted separately, but he mixed these five flavors together. This bite made my tongue numb. ”

When Zhu Zhitong heard this, she laughed: "I said that the catfish should be cut into slices and eaten raw, because you have to make so many famous halls, and it is about that Shen Xianyun who heard the mistake and smelled the old man who made a mistake." Why don't you let him make another plate? ”

Su Xiaochen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to, it's just a dish, it's too annoying." He can't finish the dishes on this table, so why should he make another plate. ”

Zhu Zhitong saw that his daily life and diet were all unruly, and he did not waste anything, and he praised him.

Su Xiaochen ate a few more chopsticks and asked, "I see that you and Na Wen Hegui seem to be old acquaintances?" ”
