After Linlang sat down, she didn't look at Chu Huan, Chu Huan really didn't know what Linlang was thinking at this time, Su Zhongyan was about to get up and pour wine for everyone, Linlang hurriedly got up, she had the lowest rank during the banquet, fortunately, the wine jar was not too big, Linlang could afford to hold it, and poured wine for everyone one by one, originally according to her status, the first one should be poured for Chu Huan, but Linlang intended to pour wine for Chu Huan at the end, and she didn't know if she was afraid that Chu Huan would drink too much, so she just poured him half a glass.

Everyone couldn't figure out why Linlang was like this, but they knew that Linlang and Chu Huan had a close relationship, so it was not easy to talk much.

They are all businessmen, and they are very concerned about the circulation of goods in the world, and they can't help but say that the salt road in the southeast has been almost blocked, and the salt of Fuhai Road has also been greatly affected because of the comeback of the Qingtian King.

Although Han Santong tried his best to resist the attack of the Qingtian King, but so far, the rebel army of the Qingtian King has swept most of Hebei Province, and the entire Hebei Province is almost in the midst of war.

While trying its best to maintain the war situation in the southeast, the imperial court also had to raise as much money as possible to support Han Santong, according to the rumor, when Hebei Province fell, Han Santong's head was afraid that it would not be able to be saved.

If you were ordinary people, you wouldn't dare to comment on state affairs, but everyone here is a local gentry with names and surnames in the northwest, and they will not be taboo when it comes to state affairs.

In fact, everyone knows very well that even if the seven surnames of Xiguan cannot control the salt road, but the commercial interests derived from the salt road are very huge, the commerce and trade of Xiguan are controlled in the hands of the local gentry headed by the seven surnames of Xiguan, and even if the salt road is controlled in the hands of the government, whether it is transportation or external sales, it is absolutely impossible to complete it with Linlang alone, and it is bound to use the resources of the seven surnames of Xiguan, the greater the trade. The more places where the help of the Xiguan gentry was needed.

They even felt that once Xiguan's trade prospered again through salt, then trade would be far more than just salt, and the formation of a commercial center would inevitably greatly promote the overall economic development of Xiguan.

Chu Huan does not have a deep understanding of the economy, but the seven surnames of Xiguan are naturally well versed in this, from the moment the salt is transported out of Xixia Mountain, they are keenly aware of the huge commercial value and economic significance, even if they do not control the salt road, but they can use the salt road to make a fuss, so that Xiguan can truly become the commercial center of the entire northwest.

Even if Chu Huan doesn't understand the economy, he can also keenly feel the excitement in the bones of the seven surnames of Xiguan, speaking from his heart, although Chu Huan needs the influence of the seven surnames of Xiguan to help him govern Xiguan, but at the same time, he also remembers Pei Ji's persuasion to himself, the seven surnames of Xiguan can be used, but they cannot be manipulated by the seven surnames of Xiguan because of this, so he has always used and guarded against the seven surnames of Xiguan.

However, there is one thing Chu Huan understands very well, Xiguan wants to prosper, and economic development is indispensable, farmers and businessmen, scholars study hard, farmers farm well, craftsmen give full play to their crafts, and merchants promote the prosperity of Xiguan's trade.

In the final analysis, for Xiguan to be strong, money bags and guns are indispensable, Chu Huan is now trying his best to develop Xiguan's military, and if it is business, it must also rely on the seven surnames of Xiguan to develop.

Therefore, the seven surnames of Xiguan want to turn Xiguan into a commercial center through the salt road, Chu Huan agrees very much in his bones, but on the wine table, of course he will not talk full, laughing and talking, just saying that in the long run, the production of salt will be decided according to the market.

Immortal drunk is worthy of being a good wine that has been treasured for decades, the entrance is mellow, Chu Huan has also drunk a lot of high-grade wine, this immortal drunk is the best in terms of taste and aroma.

After two glasses of wine, Chu Huan just felt full of wine, but he didn't have any other feelings, if it wasn't for the old lady's words, Chu Huan just felt that this was nothing more than a first-class wine, and there was nothing unusual.

It's just that after two glasses of wine, according to the old lady's prior agreement, everyone didn't drink much, but Linlang kept silent, and the fairy drunk only drank half a cup.

The banquet dispersed, it was late at night, the old lady sent Chu Huan out, after the harsh wind and sand in Hezhou, Chu Huan felt that the air in Shuoquan was unusually fresh, out of the house, but did not see Linlang come out, was a little disappointed, had seen Linlang coming, put on a thin white cloak, and had already said to the old lady: "Uncle, the night is late, you rest early, Linlang will go back first." ”

After all, the old lady is very old, she drank wine at night, she was a little drunk, and she told Linlang a few words, and when Linlang went out of the mansion and passed by Chu Huan to get into the carriage, Chu Huan had already asked softly, "Where do you live?" ”

Linlang paused, turned his head to look at Chu Huan, his cheeks were still flushed, and when he saw Chu Huan's eyes shining at him, his heart jumped, and he said in a low voice: "It's not far away, ......, you go back first!" ”

"I just happened to drop by and send you back." Chu Huan said unashamedly.

Linlang couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that you know where I live, what kind of way, how could she not know Chu Huan's thoughts, so she glanced at him, but at this time, there were still some people next to him, and said in a low voice: "You go back tonight, you just came back, and you haven't entered the mansion yet......!" Glancing left and right, her pretty face was bright, and she said softly: "Sister Su Niang knows that you are coming back, so she must ...... Must be waiting for you......! ”

Chu Huan didn't say much, and said: "Get in the car, I'll send you back, it's too late, it's not safe, I'm relieved to see you go home." ”

Linlang saw that Chu Huan had made up his mind, so he didn't say any more, and went to the carriage in front, under the light, he was dressed in white and out of the ordinary, with a waist and legs, and a plump but curvaceous figure that was unusually moving in the night.

Before Linlang arrived in Shuoquan, he had already asked the Su family to buy a house in the city, but in fact, the house was not very big, but it was very quiet, and it was indeed not too far away from Su Mansion.

Chu Huan rode on the horse, and at first he felt that the breeze was refreshing, but halfway through, he felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he immediately understood that what Old Lady Su said was not a lie, and this immortal drunk was really full of stamina.

Chu Huan was also afraid that Su Niang would wait at home, so he asked him to go back first, only saying that he would not be able to return home until later.

In front of Linlang's house, Chu Huan's wine had already come up, a little drunk, the carriage stopped in front of the door, Linlang got off the carriage, Chu Huan also turned over and dismounted, and over, Linlang saw Chu Huan coming over, biting his red lip, Chu Huan had already looked at the house, and said with a smile: "It's very quiet here, Linlang is still very good at choosing places." ”

"I didn't choose it myself." Linlang said lightly: "This is what my uncle sent someone to find." Seeing that no one was approaching around, he glared at Chu Huan and said in a low voice, "You bad guy, ...... today Well, you're a badass......! ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't you invite the villains into the house to sit down?" ”

Linlang sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "Chu Lang, you are obedient, you just came back today, go to accompany Sister Su Niang first, she must also miss you very much...... if you are free tomorrow, I will ...... I'll be waiting for you at home ......! Speaking of this, I felt a little hot on my face, and lowered my head.

Chu Huan saw that the beauty was like a flower, the face was extremely beautiful, and the wine was even stronger at this time, and he couldn't help but say: "Linlang, you...... You're so beautiful......! ”

Linlang's delicate body trembled, looked left and right, but saw that Chu Huan had already instructed the guards: "You are also tired, rest first, this governor and the Su Dong family still have important matters to discuss!" ”

Linlang bit her red lip and said angrily: "It's so late, what else is there to discuss, are you obedient?" ”

"Linlang, I mean serious." Chu Huan said: "I have some ideas about the matter of Yandao, and I want to study it with you." ”

"Really?" Linlang blinked, her eyelashes flickering.

Chu Huan nodded solemnly and said, "Really." ”

Linlang sighed and said helplessly: "You have drunk the wine, go into the house, I will cook you a bowl of decanting soup to sober up the ......!" ”

Chu Huan was overjoyed, nodded and said yes, entered the courtyard with Linlang, walked a short distance, felt a little fluttering under his feet, and hurriedly exercised, who knew that this wine was not a lack of energy, but luck, and also felt that his body was a little swaying, Linlang saw this, and hurriedly asked people to cook decanting soup, seeing that Chu Huan was a little unsteady when he walked, he hurriedly held it up, and said softly: "Uncle said that this wine is getting stronger and stronger, you better go back early, and rest well......!" ”

"I'll rest here ...... you!" Chu Huan seemed to be drunk, "I can't go back now, hmm...... Help me into the house! ”

Linlang's soft and plump body supported him, and Chu Huan felt that the fragrance of wine in his mouth and the fragrance of the young woman's body emanating from Linlang's body were mixed together, refreshing and intoxicating.

In Linlang's house, there are many people living in the house, all of whom came out of the customs together, but in the middle of the night, most of them have already fallen asleep, and helped Chu Huan into his boudoir, Chu Huan seems to have completely drunk, when he walks, his feet float, and he seems to be unstable on his feet, and when he enters the fragrant boudoir, Chu Huan pointed to the exquisite spring couch in a daze and said, "Help me...... Help me over, I'm good...... I'm so sleepy......! ”

Seeing that Chu Huan was drunk, Linlang smiled bitterly, helped him to the bedside, carefully helped him sit down, and said, "You rest first, I'll get some hot water for you to wash, and when the sobering soup is cooked, I will feed you to drink, it will be much more comfortable......!" She was about to pour hot water, but Chu Huan had already grabbed her little hand that had been smooth and soft, and said, "Linlang, don't go ......!" ”

Linlang turned around and said softly: "I'm not leaving, I'll go get water and wash your ......!" ”

"What about you...... Then you can come back soon......! Chu Huan said in a daze.

Helping Chu Huan to lie down, Linlang went out for a while, and soon brought a basin of hot water in, soaked it in a towel, and then squeezed it dry, seeing Chu Huan lying on the bed, he could only step forward and kneel on the bed, carefully wiping Chu Huan's face with a towel, caressing Chu Huan's angular face, as peaceful as a child, Linlang's lips couldn't help but smile a little, and suddenly this pretty lady's body trembled, and she lost her voice: "Ah, Chu Lang, you ......!" ”

It turned out that Chu Huan, who was already drunk, suddenly wrapped a hand around Linlang's waist.

......

......

Everything calmed down, Chu Huan hugged Linlang, and said softly: "Linlang is also tired, I am already very happy tonight...... Linlang, are you happy? ”

"Hmm...... People are so happy. Linlang's cheeks were flushed, and she randomly put one hand on her cheek and didn't continue to speak.

Chu Huan kissed Linlang's smooth and round fragrant shoulders, and said softly, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"Well, there is no ......!" Linlang said softly: "I'm a little tired......!" ”

Chu Huan said softly: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"No...... How do I ...... How can there be a ...... on your mind! Linlang said urgently.

Chu Huan sighed and said, "We are a husband and wife in the same bed, you have something on your mind, can I not see it?" Turning Linlang around and facing herself, Linlang didn't wait for Chu Huan to see her face clearly, she buried her face in Chu Huan's chest, and said shyly: "Don't look at ......!" ”

Chu Huan held her in his arms and sighed lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Linlang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Chu Lang, you ...... Will you look down on me? ”

"How so?" Chu Huanqi said: "Why do you ask like this? ”

Linlang's body trembled slightly, and said quietly: "I...... I remembered ...... just now What we just did, and what I said...... Woo woo, that's not what a good woman says......! She raised her head, looked at Chu Huan's eyes, saw Chu Huan looking at herself, her face was hot again, and she buried her pretty face in Chu Huan's chest again, "Chu Lang, do you think Linlang is a cheap woman......!" ”

Chu Huan said softly: "Of course not, in my heart, Linlang is the best woman in the world, because she loves me deeply in her heart, she will ...... everything by me!" Hugging Linlang tightly, "Don't think cranky in the future, otherwise I'll be unhappy?" ”

Linlang heard Chu Huan say this, her mind was relieved, and she secretly thought that what Chu Lang said was not wrong, only because the other party was her lover, so she would cater to her like that, if she was another man, don't say that she was so debauched, it would be a little pretentious, and she would definitely not do it, only because she loved each other deeply.

Feeling Chu Huan's hand on his smooth jade back, Linlang only felt sweet in his heart, and suddenly heard a rooster crowing, and hurriedly said: "Chu Lang, it's almost dawn, you go back early, Sister Su Niang knows that you are back, you must be in a hurry." ”

She knows very well in her heart that she sometimes misses Chu Huan and stays awake all night, she knows that Su Niang has affection for Chu Huan, and she must be extremely lovesick, comparing her heart to her heart, Chu Huan stayed here last night and didn't go back, Linlang was very uneasy in her heart, although she was reluctant to let Ai Lang leave, but she was worried that Su Niang was in a hurry.

Chu Huan also knew in his heart that he had been on the expedition for nearly two months, and Su Niang must have been thinking about herself, so she said softly: "Don't worry, I'll hold you for a while." Suddenly, I remembered Su Niang, he lingered with Linlang all night last night, but his energy and physical strength were greatly depleted, recalling his love with Su Niang, but he felt very strange in his heart.

I don't know why, thinking of Su Niang, the image of Mrs. Liuli crossed my mind, and I couldn't help asking, "Has that Mrs. Liuli come to look for you recently?" ”

"You mean Sister Ruri?" Linlang raised her head, her face flushed, charming and moving, and blinked, "I came twice in the middle, but I didn't say anything...... She lives in the government now, well, by the way, she seems to have only come back the day before yesterday, and she came back a day earlier than you......! ”

"Just came back the day before yesterday?" Chu Huan frowned.

"yes." Linlang said: "Chu Lang, after you set out on the expedition, Sister Liuli took someone out to find her uncle, but there was no clue, and she came back once halfway." But half a month ago, she seemed to have a clue again, took people out of the city to look for it, and only returned to Shuoquan the day before yesterday, and made a trip from me, but she seemed to be in a hurry at that time, and did not enter the house, only said to come back and see me...... I don't know if I found her uncle this time. His cheek was pressed against Chu Huan's strong chest, and he said, "Chu Lang, if you have a chance, send someone to help her find it, she only has one relative, and she must be very worried about ...... heart!" ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally asked softly, "Linlang, you said that Mrs. Liuli really came to find her uncle?" ”
