But what's worse than that is

As soon as she stopped and looked at it from afar, Xiao Tingchen, who was walking in front of her, disappeared!

The coincidence was so coincidental that she thought that she was sold into the Xu Mansion by that guy!

Su Jiu finally put on an indescribable expression.

╮(╯﹏╰）╭

She lowered her eyes, pretended not to find Xu Zizhu, and continued to walk forward.

The Guiling Courtyard is very large, the ladies are holding a group of fans and laughing among the flowers, and the sons of the noble family are gathered in groups of three or five pavilions to talk about poetry and endowment, which is really a prosperous place.

It's a pity,

Su Jiu didn't know any of them.

She anxiously searched for Xiao Tingchen along the lakeside, and walked for about a quarter of an hour, only to see that the people around her were thinning out, and the trees were getting taller and more lush.

In the shade of the trees, a quaint stone boat is built near the water, and it is quiet and secluded, and I don't know if the little brother is in it.

She hesitated for a moment, then stepped cautiously on it.

After walking dozens of steps into the stone boat, I soon heard a voice from the deepest part:

“…… Acquisition of Yantian? Now in the Jiangnan area, the salt industry has become a foregone conclusion, and it is good to be good, you suddenly inserted a foot into it, why? ”

It was a strange man who spoke.

However, the one who answered was clearly the little brother:

"Su Runmo is about to take office, guess what position he holds?"

"What's the job?"

"JAC transshipment envoy. The transportation of salt and iron between Jianghuai and Huai will be under his control. With the convenience of his position, why not make me a big salt merchant? ”

Su Jiu lay outside the window lattice.

She stood on tiptoe, her pure fawn eyes dazed, and she tried hard to look inside.

I saw that in the elegant seat of the stone boat, the window was bright and clean, the screen was elegant, and the little brother and a young man were sitting across the flowers.

And the man,

Apparently hesitant about the little brother's proposal.

He ate tea for a while before solemnly putting down the teacup, "Huai Jin, I feel that the third prince seems to be more expecting you to step into the official career through scientific examinations." Leave it to me to do the business. After all, we are all working for the Three Princes, and I don't want to distract you from miscellaneous matters. ”

The little brother chuckled a few times, and sat in an extremely lazy position, "I'm just telling you about this, not discussing it with you." ”

"You-"

The man was so angry with him that he really didn't know what to say, so he left with a black face and shook his sleeves.

He got up too much, and hit the flower table so hard that the tea was poured out, but it splashed Xiao Tingchen.

When the man pushed the door, Su Jiu was caught off guard, and before he could explain in words, the man didn't look at her, and strode away.

The little girl was still immersed in what she had just heard.

Although she didn't understand the major affairs of the court, she also knew that she had broken through her little brother's big secret.

She stepped into the threshold in a panic, and was about to show her loyalty, but saw that Xiao Tingchen had already walked behind the screen.

Soon, there was a rustling sound of clothes behind the screen, probably changing clothes.

Su Jiu stood outside the screen, hesitantly said, "Little brother......"

"Huh?"

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you...... Your secret, I, I won't tell. ”

Su wine twisted the corners of his clothes,

I feel like I'm in a big deal.

Obviously he's just a powerful man, how can there be so many secrets on his body? !

Hells knows what kind of master she met!

"Look at Xiaojiu'er who is nervous, I won't eat you, why are you afraid of doing this? You're my baby. ”

"Who's your baby!" The girl was slightly annoyed, and when she calmed down, she hesitated and said, "Little brother, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Then don't talk about it."

“……”

Su Jiu gritted his teeth.

Every time she talked to this person, somehow she was a little crazy.

After a moment of silence, she slowly pondered:

"Even though I'm young, I often walk the streets, so I probably see more than the girls next to me. People in the market often say that officials have official ways and business have business ways, and the two are different in the end. The little brother is a person who wants to gain fame, and I also think that it is better to concentrate on this one thing. If you go to get any more salt pans, it will take a lot of effort, and you can't say that you can't fall well at both ends. ”
