Chapter Thirty-Eight: Meeting at the Tea House

Zhao Tingshan glanced at her: "Is this still fake?" ”

Zhao Siyan's brows furrowed fiercely, this is impossible, this is not in line with Li Junze's interests, why did he do this? Copying a Sun family, Li Junze's reputation will be ruined, and everyone in the city will be in danger, why did Li Junze do this?

"Alas, I didn't expect the prince to value me so much." Zhao Tingshan said faintly.

Zhao Siyan glanced at him puzzled, but Zhao Tingshan said: "He must be forcing me to be loyal to him by doing this, think about it, if I really go to copy the Sun family, I will definitely become the target of public criticism, and I can only rely on him when the time comes." ”

Zhao Siyan: "......"

Zhao Siyan really couldn't bear to break her father's naΓ―ve illusions.

"What does he say, when will he let you go to the house?" Zhao Siyan asked again.

"I didn't say this, I just said that I would take care of it." Zhao Tingshan said, "But even if he didn't say it, I know that he must hope that the sooner the better, and the army is about to be unable to open the pot." ”

The Sun family started by transporting grain, and the most important thing is food.

Who knew that after Zhao Siyan listened, he smiled meaningfully: "Oh, there is no time set." ”

Zhao Tingshan wondered her expression.

Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then said: "Father, you can't do this, otherwise you will be scolded to death by Spitting Xingzi, we are here to protect our family and defend the country, not to be robbers." ”

Zhao Tingshan nodded again and again, in fact, he thought so too.

"The order of the prince of the world......"

"Don't worry." Zhao Siyan said soothingly.

Zhao Tingshan can't rest assured, disobeying military orders is a capital crime.

Zhao Siyan swore and said: "Don't worry, father, I won't let you be shouted and beaten by everyone!" ”

Zhao Tingshan was immediately relieved and continued to drink his small wine.

The master's incident had a great impact on the Liu family, first of all, she understood the malice from the big house, and had a sense of vigilance, and secondly, she found that her daughter was really smart, so she planned to hand over some shops to her to manage.

After all, Zhao Siyan is getting older, and she will marry in the future, and she will definitely give her a lot of dowry, she always felt that her daughter was still young, but now that she found out that her daughter is so smart, Liu wanted to train her daughter, so that she began to learn housekeeping and shopkeeping.

Liu's reason was sufficient, so she put on a straight face, wanting Zhao Siyan to learn management, originally she thought that Zhao Siyan would be reluctant, but she didn't expect her daughter to nod her head without hesitation and agreed.

It made Liu a little surprised: "You, are you really willing?" ”

Zhao Siyan nodded and glanced at her puzzledly: "Didn't I do it?" Doesn't my mother want me to say yes? ”

"That's not either." Liu said quickly.

And so it was settled.

In fact, Liu didn't know that this proposal was in Zhao Siyan's arms, and she was worried that there was no reason to go out.

So from this day on, Zhao Siyan often went out under the pretext of checking accounts, because there were many shops under Liu's name, such as restaurants, cloth villages, etc.

At the same time, there was a rumor outside that the emperor had reduced the military rations, and the soldiers were about to go hungry.

This rumor is spreading, there are noses and eyes, and it is also said that Li Junze is worried about this matter and is racking his brains to find a way to solve it.

The news spread more and more fiercely, but no one in the army came forward to clarify.

On this day, Zhao Siyan went out again, this time she went to the teahouse to check the accounts, and the shopkeeper Cheng of the teahouse gave Zhao Siyan a look at the account book and then retreated.

"Miss, are we doing this well?" Lu He asked a little tangled: "Isn't this grain and grass secret in the army?" We spread it out without authorization, will the prince blame him? ”

Zhao Siyan said lightly: "It used to be, but now it won't." ”

"Why is that?" Midori asked puzzled.

Zhao Siyan glanced at her: "Don't worry about these things that you are not good at, Green Lotus, you can do a little bit of what you are good at, so that there will be no troubles." ”

The little maid began to wonder what she was good at.

Finally let her find it.

Lu He was pouring tea for Zhao Siyan with his hands and feet, but the shopkeeper Cheng went and returned: "Girl, there is a distinguished guest outside, I want to see the girl." Would you like to see the girl? ”

Zhao Siyan's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Please let him in." ”

Lu He couldn't help but mutter: "What a distinguished guest, there are no rules!" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Junze and Jiang Yi walking in from outside.

Even if the little maid keeps her mouth shut, this is indeed a distinguished guest.

Shopkeeper Cheng stood aside and didn't move, no matter what, Zhao Siyan is a woman, and letting her be alone with Li Junze is still an obstacle to Zhao Siyan's reputation.

Zhao Siyan stood up and saluted Li Junze, "I've seen the prince of the world, but I didn't know that the prince of the world is here, the shop is really shining." After a pause, she glanced at Shopkeeper Cheng: "Shopkeeper Cheng, you go out first, don't let people disturb you, just have Green Lotus waiting here." ”

Li Junze looked at Zhao Siyan with an obedient look, this has always been her best at it, she is used to pretending to be well-behaved, in fact, that is just her appearance, she has a sharp claw in her heart, if she is deceived, she is likely to give him a claw.

Li Junze walked to the table in front of her and sat down, then looked at Zhao Siyan with raised eyebrows, and said lightly: "It's a good way to find the third girl!" ”

Zhao Siyan's smile was gentle and shallow, but she asked rhetorically: "I don't know what the prince is talking about, I'm just a boudoir woman, what can I do?" ”

Li Junze was really choked now, Jiang Yi watched with great interest as their family was deflated, oh no, it was deflated again.

Jiang Yi decided that the person he admired the most in the future would be Miss Zhao San, and there was no one!

Li Junze's slender fingers tapped on the table, Zhao Siyan's eyes rose and fell with the rhythm of his fingertips, God seemed to have a special preference for him, and even his hands were more beautiful than others.

The corners of Li Junze's mouth hooked up a condensed smile: "It's a guy who is used to pretending to be stupid." ”

Zhao Siyan was as unmoving, as if he didn't understand what he was saying, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth didn't change in the slightest.

Li Junze's voice really sank: "The rumors outside, you released them?" ”

Zhao Siyan's face remained unchanged, and his tone was a little surprised: "What rumors?" Why haven't I heard anything out of Ah Yan? After a pause, without waiting for Li Junze to speak, Zhao Siyan said slowly: "But only rumors are made out of nothing, if it is true, it should not be considered a rumor, right?" What does the prince think? ”

Zhao Siyan said, looking at Li Junze with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, gentle and picturesque.

Even if Li Junze was so angry, he also felt that his smile was quite cute, but in an instant, he restrained his emotions, don't think that she smiled beautifully, he wouldn't be angry!

Zhao Siyan looked at Li Junze and said: "I know that the prince is a person who does big things, although those who become big things are not informal, but I also hope that the prince can leave room for anything, as the so-called being a man leaves a line, and we will see each other in the future." ”

Li Junze's brows furrowed, listening to her words, but suddenly said, "Do you think I'm going to hurt your father?" ”

Zhao Siyan didn't speak, but his expression was obvious.

Li Junze chuckled meaninglessly, but he didn't defend himself.

Zhao Siyan was stunned for a moment, wasn't it what she thought?

"Lord Shizi, if I misunderstand Lord Shizi, and ask Lord Shizi to make it clear, I have always been dull, I'm afraid I can't understand the deep meaning of Lord Shizi." Zhao Siyan said cautiously.

Li Junze said lightly: "Miss Zhao San is too humble, if you are stupid, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a few smart women." ”

Zhao Siyan was not happy to be praised at all, she frowned, and was about to speak, but Li Junze asked back: "It's just a smart person, sometimes you are smart and mistaken." ”

Zhao Siyan's brows furrowed, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her back, could it be that she guessed wrong this time? She originally thought that Li Junze asked Zhao Tingshan to raid the house, which would inevitably offend the Sun family and other merchants, and Zhao Tingshan would become the target of public criticism at that time.

Li Junze will not offend so many merchants for a Zhao Tingshan, and in the end, once there is a conflict, Li Junze will definitely abandon the handsome car and protect the car, and Zhao Tingshan will be sacrificed to calm the anger of the merchants, Li Junze took the opportunity to win over these merchants again, and the merchants were afraid, so they would naturally share some benefits to save their lives, which could be regarded as a compromise between the two sides.

But how innocent is Zhao Tingshan as a sacrificed pawn? Therefore, Zhao Siyan did not let Zhao Tingshan do it immediately, but took advantage of the opportunity to come to the restaurant to check the accounts, and let Cheng Shopkeeper release the fact that there was a shortage of food in the army, which was to make a buffer for the whole thing.

Even if Zhao Tingshan has to do it in the future, those merchants have already gotten the news, and they will know that Zhao Tingshan is just a businessman, and they can't ask for him, and when the time comes, Zhao Tingshan will intercede for these merchants and make his position clear, and Li Li Junze will have no reason to deal with him.

Zhao Siyan's plan was perfect, but now Li Junze's attitude made her feel that she seemed to have guessed wrong, Li Junze did not mean to give up Zhao Tingshan?

Indeed, according to Li Junze's current position, Zhao Tingshan is his right-hand man, even if he is short of food, he can use others as this outcast, there is no need to let Zhao Tingshan take this lead.

Thinking of this, Zhao Siyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that it was her fault this time?

Zhao Siyan lowered his head, thought for a while, and then looked up at Li Junze and said sincerely: "Lord Shizi, my father is just a small general, I only hope that my family can be safe, this is just my small wish as a child, if it does not hinder the great affairs of the prince, please also ask the prince to fulfill it." After a pause, she said, "If I have offended anything, I will ask the prince to forgive me." ”

Li Junze paused, but said a topic that had nothing to do with the conversation just now: "You reminded Gu Chenfeng." ”

Zhao Siyan was stunned for a moment, but asked suspiciously: "Didn't the prince remind him and let him come to me?" ”

Li Junze leaned back in his chair and said in a deep voice: "It's the second time." ”

Zhao Siyan helped Gu Chenfeng for the second time.

Zhao Siyan felt that Li Junze's attitude was a little strange, he seemed to care about Gu Chenfeng very much.

Zhao Siyan knows how to ask for help, after all, Li Junze can't help her for no reason, she has no long things, she can't bribe him, and it seems that he has ruined his good deeds just now, so only by doing what he likes can he express his sincerity, right?

So Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Does the prince don't want me to help him?" ”

Li Junze did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "If you want to help, you can help, ask me what I do, you are relatives!" ”

Zhao Siyan felt that Li Junze's words were full of childishness, but she felt that this was impossible, after all, from the first time they met to the present, Li Junze has shown a calm and powerful bearing, how can such a person be childish?

Zhao Siyan felt that she was thinking too much.

"What about my father?" Zhao Siyan asked cautiously.

Li Junze glanced at her: "You are so smart, why don't you guess what I originally planned?" ”

Zhao Siyan smiled bitterly, she felt that Li Junze might like to guess riddles.

Zhao Siyan's brain was running rapidly, and the top priority now was of course military rations, originally she guessed that it would be possible for Zhao Tingshan to be the first bird, and then Li Junze would come out to win people's hearts and change to someone else, but obviously Li Junze did not intend to do this.

If he acts like this, there will be fewer and fewer people who will follow him in the future, and no one will want to be abandoned at any time, and she only thought that although she has not known Li Junze for a long time, she also knows Li Junze's style of acting, he is still above board, and he disdains to use such means.

So...... What is Li Junze's real purpose?

She sent the Night Pearl to Gu Chenfeng, in fact, she wanted to remind Li Junze that the Sun family has money and can cooperate with the Sun family, whether it is coercion or temptation, the Sun family is the most capable of solving this matter.

However, looking at Li Junze's appearance at this time, she had a faint guess in her heart.

"You already have a solution to the problem of military rations?" Zhao Siyan blurted out.

Li Junze raised his eyebrows, "How can you see it?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that it suddenly occurred to me that the prince shouldn't be at ease to hand over such an important matter to Gu Chenfeng to be responsible." Zhao Siyan said lightly.

She thought of Mama Xu beside her, she once said that she would not hand over her fate to her enemies, Li Junze is the same, the matter of military salary is too important to Li Junze, can he really rest assured that such an important matter will be handed over to Gu Chenfeng? A man who just took refuge in him?

Zhao Siyan felt that it was not necessarily, with Li Junze's means and thoughts, maybe he would have already had a solution, and it was only incidental to test Gu Chenfeng.

Thinking of this, Zhao Siyan asked tentatively: "What is the solution that the prince has come up with?" ”

Li Junze said lightly: "Not everyone hopes that the matter of military rations can be solved. ”

When he said this, Li Junze's expression revealed a hint of mockery.

Zhao Siyan was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully about what he said, there are still people in the army who want to use the matter of military rations to pull Li Junze off the horse, by the way, Li Junze was sent to Dengzhou by the emperor, and he didn't want him to go back.

"There are also people from the imperial court in the army." Zhao Siyan muttered to herself.

Zhao Siyan thought of a person almost instantly, how to return!

She remembered that when she was in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, He Yugui hurriedly went down the mountain, and later she sent someone to inquire and found out that He Yugui had met a person at that time, and that person was likely to be a eunuch, and the eunuch must have come from the palace.

If this is the case, then everything makes sense, the He family has long been bought by the imperial court and has become the eyeliner of the imperial court, and if Li Junze wants to completely control the army, he must arrest these people, or rather, come to Liwei first, arrest a group of people first, and make an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

Since Li Junze arrived in Dengzhou, his performance has been very low-key, and even the disarmament has ended quietly in a drizzle, and the new official has taken office with three fires, and Li Junze is going to burn the first fire.

And she...... Seems to have ruined his plans?

Thinking of this, Zhao Siyan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, looking at Li Junze's expression and a little apologetic, she said sincerely: "It's me who delayed the prince's business." With that, she stood up and saluted Li Junze, her posture as soft and well-behaved as ever.

Li Junze's expression was very useful, and he was about to speak, but he heard Zhao Siyan say slowly: "However, it is not a complete delay to the prince, otherwise I will be guilty." ”

Li Junze was stunned for a moment, but he glanced at her with a smile, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know that you haven't been completely delayed?" ”

"If this rumor is not good for the prince, how can it spread all over the city in just a few days? If it weren't for the acquiescence of the prince, this rumor wouldn't have spread at all, right? Zhao Siyan asked with a smile.

Li Junze looked at the girl's smiling face, and finally couldn't help grinding his teeth.

That feeling of aggrieved reappeared, which was a very strange experience for him, but every time it appeared, it was because of her.

"However, even so, I still have to apologize to the prince, it was I who made my own claim and misunderstood the prince." Zhao Siyan said solemnly, "If you can make up for my mistakes, please ask the prince to command." ”

In fact, from Zhao Siyan's standpoint, she didn't do anything wrong, and Li Junze also felt that her blame was untenable, after all, she was just for her father, and what she did was not wrong.

How could he blame her? Shouldn't she be filial to her father?

But if she lets her go like this, she is not very willing in her heart.

The two stared wide-eyed, but Li Junze didn't know what to say.

Li Junze suddenly snorted: "Command? Don't worry about others misunderstanding your dad as my person? ”

Zhao Siyan's face suddenly turned slightly red, and after thinking about it, she said solemnly: "Anyway, everyone else thinks so now." ”

She didn't think that she could hide it from him by her previous little means, but everyone just maintained a superficial harmony, who knew that he was caught off guard and made this matter open and honest, which was embarrassing.

Li Junze saw her showing a slight look, but he was a little satisfied, and finally had a normal reaction from a woman.

Zhao Siyan thought about it, but asked cautiously: "I don't know what the prince will ask my father to do, and ask the prince to give me some advice, so as not to delay the big thing of the prince." ”

Li Junze glanced at her with a smile, he didn't believe him, he was worried that Zhao Tingshan was on his hands, so he wanted to find out, and he was still under the banner of being good for him.

Li Junze wanted to grind his teeth again.

Li Junze seemed to smile: "I thought Miss Zhao San was so special, but I didn't expect that like ordinary women, suspicion and suspicion are women's nature." ”

Of course Zhao Siyan didn't believe him, after all, they didn't have any friendship, she just said that, in fact, she was just worried that if she accidentally mistook Li Junze's matter, what if Li Junze was annoyed and angry, what would happen to their killer?

After all, with her current situation, she really doesn't have the ability to fight against Li Junze.

So Zhao Siyan felt annoyed, but more of a lack of consideration for herself, as for whether she mistook Li Junze's matter, it had nothing to do with her at all.

However, Zhao Siyan still doesn't want to have a conflict with Li Junze now, they had better be safe, if Li Junze needs it, she doesn't mind doing a small favor, writing with others, making it convenient for herself, and forming a good fate.

Zhao Siyan thought so, and Li Junze obviously thought so too, after all, the two were not related.

In the past, the two were safe and sound, but this time Zhao Siyan almost ruined his big thing, this balance was broken, Zhao Siyan felt the need to make up for it, after all, she really didn't want to be an enemy of Li Junze.

"I helped the prince catch the spies in the army, and the prince promised me to keep my father safe!"

Jiang Yi had already come to Luhe's side, and he decided to have a good relationship with Zhao Siyan, this girl was simply a talent.

He decided to start with the people around Zhao Siyan.

Jiang Yi smiled flatteringly and enthusiastically at the green lotus, the green lotus frowned, glanced at him inexplicably, and immediately ...... With a snort, he turned his head away, his eyes disgusted.

Jiang Yi: "......"

The first set was almost a failure.

Li Junze looked at Zhao Siyan's face, his dark eyes flashed, he didn't speak, as if he was considering her proposal, she didn't urge him, just looked at him quietly.

After a long time: "...... Good. ”

His voice was low and mellow, and there was an inexplicable strangeness in his ears.

However, Zhao Siyan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to owe Li Junze a favor, and she thought that there was nothing for Li Junze to help her, the only thing she could do was to make an exchange with him, but fortunately, Li Junze agreed.

While he was talking, a little servant came to bring refreshments.

Zhao Siyan glanced at the little guy, and after the little guy put down the tea, he turned around and retreated.

After saying this for a long time, Zhao Siyan was also a little thirsty, so he reached out to get the teacup, Li Junze and her actions were the same, but as soon as he opened the lid of the cup, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately reached out and knocked the teacup in Zhao Siyan's hand to the ground.

Tea spilled, eroding the ground.

"Miss!" Green Lotus turned pale with fright and shouted in panic.

Zhao Siyan looked at Li Junze with a stunned expression: "Poison in tea? ”
