In fact, the practice of trading with foreigners on the border has a long history, and when the war is tense, it is generally a private transaction, and when the war is not tense, business will be put on the surface.

For example, between the Great Zhou and the Khitan, the goods sold in the Great Zhou are generally silk, cloth, porcelain, tea, etc., in addition to the silver taels, there are also Khitan cattle and sheep, herbs and various animal skins, as well as a small number of horses, but the Khitan is more strictly controlled, just like the Great Zhou side will occasionally sell some grain to the other party, and it is also controlled more strictly, and it is generally a private transaction.

And Li Cong's people also checked that the Zhou family sold to the Khitan did not have grain, salt, gunpowder, iron and other things prohibited by the imperial court, and they were all goods that were allowed to trade.

Therefore, it is not a crime for the Zhou family to do business with the Khitans, and Li Cong cannot convict the Zhou family because of this.

It's just that this Zhou Lu suddenly disappeared, and even his people couldn't find any clues, which is really strange.

"What kind of person do you think he is?" Li Cong asked Yan Yan.

He also walked into a predicament and needed someone to help him guide him through the maze.

"First of all, I am sure that he is very smart, talented, and very far-sighted, and likes those unrealistic ups and downs, but at the same time he is very pragmatic, which can be seen from the fact that he had to make friends with my husband to learn the song "A Laugh in the Sea" and later he had to buy my yams and cotton seeds, and another point, he should be very righteous to make friends, and something else... Yan Yan shook his head and didn't say any more.

"When you analyze it like this, I think he is very similar to you." Li Cong came to a conclusion.

It's just that after saying this, he realized that something was wrong, Yan Yan did this to share the worries of the court and solve problems for the people, what was Zhou Lu trying to do this?

Wealth? It seems that this is not a business that makes money quickly, and it is necessary for him to spend a lot of money to buy a little seed from Yan Yan? And he was so anxious that he still didn't give up after being rejected by Yan Yan, and directly left a deposit of two thousand taels of silver for the seeds in a year.

The other party is so urgent, it can't be just for money, right?

Yan Yan saw that Li Cong saw that the two of them were similar, and he didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore, and he didn't know what to do, but it happened that there was a child's cry outside, and Yan Yan ended the conversation on the grounds that the child was hungry and wanted to breastfeed the child.

Sending Li Cong away, Lu You leaned to Yan Yan's side, and at that time, Yan Yan was breastfeeding the child while holding the jade pendant given by Li Cong and pondering.

"Lady, this is a dragon pendant." Lu You didn't say any extra words, but there was no lack of worry between the words.

"Husband, what do you mean by the emperor? Even if it's a talisman, it doesn't have to be so scary, right? Yan Yan also felt that this thing was hot.

"Lady, will it be a fixed ceremony?" Lu You saw that Yan Yan didn't expect this for a while, so he asked directly.

And the reason why he thought of Dingli was because he remembered that Yan Yan and Lu Ming were engaged back then, and at that time, Mrs. Lu and the Zhu family did not fall in love with Yan Yan, but because this matter was opened by the old lady of the Queen Mother, how to refuse became a problem for the Lu family.

Coincidentally, Lu You was hiding in his father's outer study to find a book that day, and happened to hear his father talking with those Qingke, and this was what he was talking about at that time.

Lu You remembered very well that there was a Qingke who said one thing at that time, saying that Yan Yan was enlightened at the age of five, and invited the famous teacher Chen Siru to be Xibin at the age of seven.

Because the crown prince Li Ji had long been in love with this girl, among these girls from the family, Li Ji only allowed Yan Yan to call him "brother of the prince", but unfortunately, in the end, due to the royal rules, Yan Yan was rejected due to the fate of his father and mother.

Therefore, the opinion of the Qingke is that it is not a loss for such a girl to marry into the door, and she usually deliberately looks for it and can't find it.

As for the life or something, it is completely possible to unite with Lu Ming first, if it is really a mutual restraint, I am afraid that the Yan family will not agree to this family business.

Just like that, the land end was convinced.

Soon, Yan Yan and Lu Ming became engaged, and Lu You forgot about it.

It wasn't until later that Lu You collided with Yan Yan and the prince scolded their brother for his cane, that Lu You remembered this again.

Although he couldn't speak at that time, he was not stupid, he could indeed feel the prince's maintenance of Yan Yan, and later, the two got married, and the prince personally led someone to marry, and after getting married, the prince was afraid that she would be bullied, so he sent someone to Lu Mansion to send things.

Even Yan Yan refused to have sex with him at first, Lu You thought that Yan Yan had the prince in his heart, and he himself had the suffering of asking for but not being able to get it, so he didn't force Yan Yan.

Later, the two had a round house, and he could also see that Yan Yan was indeed living with him wholeheartedly, and it seemed that he had let go of the prince, but Lu You knew that the prince must still have Yan Yan in his heart.

Therefore, he has no doubt that the emperor most of the time regretted that he did not become the crown prince back then, and wasted such a once-in-a-century top talent in vain, so this time he first set Lu Jin for the emperor's eldest grandson, and with Yan Yan on the left and right, the child must not be bad.

Lu You's words reminded Yan Yan that she knew that her performance this year was indeed very dazzling, and most of the emperor really regretted it, so she thought about setting Lu Jin, but she couldn't say it too thoroughly, after all, the child was still young, and no one dared to guarantee what would happen in the future, so there was a talisman.

It's a bit of a hassle.

In fact, Yan Yan doesn't want her child to enter the palace, it's not that she is tall or anything, but she doesn't want her child to live in calculations and waiting day after day, which is too torturous to a person's heart and will.

Life is short, only a few decades to live, why can't you find a happy life with a good relationship?

But this is not the point at the moment, the point is how Lu You, a person who doesn't ask about mundane things, can guess that it is Dingli so quickly this time.

"Husband, how did you think of that?" Yan Yan had a gut feeling that Lu You must have been hiding something from her.

"Lady, think about it, can such a valuable thing be given to ordinary people?" Lu You didn't tell the truth, it wasn't that he wanted to deceive his wife, but that he knew Yan Yan too well, if he turned over those old accounts, Yan Yan would definitely have to ask him if he deliberately ran into her at the beginning.

And he can't explain this matter, but he doesn't want his wife to be unhappy, so some things are better than not to say.

"That's just as well." Yan Yan admitted that Lu You's words made sense.

So, she asked Lu You's opinion on this matter.

Fortunately, Lu You's thoughts are the same as hers, she doesn't want her children to enter the palace, the backyard of a large family is enough to intrigue, let alone so many women in the palace.

Fortunately, the child is still young, so there is no urgency.
