"Is that you? Seventh! The emperor's voice became old, and he coughed violently after saying a word.

The queen hurriedly stroked his back, her face was full of worry, but her eyes couldn't stop looking at the kneeling people outside, and said slowly: "Lang'er, you're back!" You're really good, mother, mother is happy! ”

"Okay?" The emperor was excited, coughed even more, and it took a long time to hold back, and he scolded angrily, "Okay, can you talk such nonsense? Ten days of coffin stopping? Get down, don't miss the hour! ”

In front of the mausoleum of nearly a thousand people, the Ya Que was silent for a while, and the hundred officials did not dare to say a word, and the minions even suppressed their breathing, and their eyes were afraid to blink.

On such an occasion, if there is a slight mistake, he will be pulled down and killed by a cane without saying anything, and the Seven Princes spoke wildly, which really scared everyone and almost swallowed their tongues.

Gao Lang bowed his head to the emperor, raised his head, and said slowly: "Father, the son defeated Nanyi by the Wuli River and recovered the lost land. ”

"You took back the Wuli River?" The emperor raised his eyes, his face was withered, his eyes were cloudy, he was not very old, but he was already like an old man, but the self-formed imperial aura was still undiminished, so that people did not dare to look at him.

"That's right." Gao Lang definitely returned.

If the Wuli River can be repelled and recovered by the Nanyi, it will not only ensure the stability of the border people, but also develop mutual markets, and do business with the nomadic Waran people who are close to the Nanyi and also border the Wuli River, which will greatly promote the economy of the south.

This is a major event that laid the cornerstone of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, and the emperor was overjoyed, so he left Zhao Yao's previous disrespect behind: "Okay! Your third brother can hear such good news before entering the mausoleum, and he can go with peace of mind. Old Seven, what reward do you want to be in the court, I will promise you! ”

Gao Lang still couldn't kneel for a long time: "The son doesn't want any other reward, just ask my father to promise to stop the coffin for ten days, and allow me to find out the real cause of the third brother's death!" ”

……

In the capital, Xuanwu Street, which was originally the most lively and prosperous, was sparsely populated.

Most of the shops are closed, and white flags are hung in the houses.

When the prince died, the whole country had to mourn for three months, and any singing and dancing entertainment was strictly prohibited during the mourning period.

Three months is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and some smaller shops close their doors in vain and spend three months, which can only consume the result of bankruptcy and transfer.

Jin Xiaolou took this opportunity to sell a shop on the left of Linlangfang at a low price.

She wants to build a star-making factory, it's not for fun, these three months are just the time to lay the foundation, and after the prince's mourning period, it will be opened together with Linlangfang.

The popularity of Linlangfang is already one of the best in the capital, and when the time comes, the shop on the left will output the girl and send it to the Linlangfang on the right to show her face, and after showing her face and mixing it up, she will be sent to the mansions of various nobles and powerful, forming a complete industrial chain.

It's just that the big chongguan of Linlangfang in front of it is a new industry, and there is no particularly fierce competition with other stores, but when Linlangfang also wants to support the girl, Ding Danshe and Tassel Pavilion are afraid that Linlangfang will be regarded as a thorn in the flesh.

Whether it is the Ding Dan Society or the Tassel Pavilion, it is not easy to deal with.

Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath, ordered Lu Yun to carry the food box, picked up Lin'er and walked out of the workshop, and got on a carriage with his feet.

The carriage twisted and turned, passed through Xuanwu Street, and slowly stopped in front of the prison.

Jin Xiaolou asked Lu Yun to wait outside with Lin'er in his arms, and walked inside with the food box himself.

Given a few pieces of silver to the head of the cell, Jin Xiaolou easily stood in front of Jiang Chan's cell.

There was only one palm-sized skylight in the cell, and because it was half built below the ground, it was dark and damp, and snakes, insects, rats and ants were everywhere. There was hardly anything in the cell as far as the eye could see, save for a few greasy, dirty clumps of straw and a bucket.

The gong bucket was even more stinky, and Jin Xiaolou only stood a little closer, and he was choked by the unpleasant smell and almost fainted.

Since they are the people who are imprisoned here, they have no way and no background, and if the jailers are abused, which jailer will be kind enough to pour the bucket for them?

Jiang Chan was still wearing that beautiful dress, and sat on the straw with his back to the wall outside.

Jin Xiaolou coughed lightly, Jiang Chan slowly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Jin Xiaolou, Jiang Chan's eyes were agitated, as if he saw the last straw, and immediately ran over: "Jin Shopkeeper!" The prince is dead! Did you know that the crown prince is dead? ”

Jin Xiaolou didn't answer, just opened the food box by himself, and handed it in the same way as the saucer containing the pastry and fruit in the box.

Jiang Chan didn't care about the food, but in a blink of an eye, he suddenly realized that the fruit was from the craftsmanship of Chaoyi.

Her shoulders immediately shook violently, and the bruises on her neck rose high with anger, and she gritted her teeth and smashed the plate she had just set.

The sweet smell came from the crushed fruit, mixed with the stench of the cell, making it all the more disgusting.

"You, you already knew!" Jiang Chan's voice changed greatly, sharp and cold, "Jin Xiaolou, you already know!" ”

"It turns out that it was all a trap! It's you! You're the one who hurt me! Jiang Chan jerked his hand out of the cell, wanting to choke Jin Xiaolou's neck.

Jin Xiaolou had already expected her to make such a move, so he calmly took a step back and easily dodged it.

Then he slowly spoke: "Why, if you are only allowed to harm others, you are not allowed to harm others?" ”

"Things in the world have always had comings and goings, and when you pushed Lin'er into the water, you should have thought that there would be today."

Jiang Chan was shocked and took two steps back, his face turned blue, and his lips and teeth trembled: "You...... You got it...... Yes, yes, the tide clothes have been released, then you must know everything. ”

But then, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted, "I didn't! ”

Jiang Chan took a deep breath, tried his best to restore his voice to his usual state, and said softly: "Jin Shopkeeper, it is a pity to push Lin'er down!" It was Sirui who attracted Lin'er to pull the paper butterfly, and I, I am the one who really saved Lin'er! If it weren't for me, Lin'er would have really drowned! ”

"So, it's Xiyu and Sirui to blame?" Jin Xiaolou said lightly.

Jiang Chan nodded without hesitation: "That's right, don't think that I'm lying to them, you can call them to confront them, all the ideas are from the two of them, I, I can't stop it, so I have to rescue Lin'er in time at the moment." ”

Jin Xiaolou smiled coldly: "On the way to the match, even men can't stand it, nine out of ten have to die, either from exhaustion, or from illness, and some have been robbed by bandits and bandits, and women have no hope of survival." I thought that if you could sincerely recognize your mistake, regret it, and vow not to do it again, I would think of a way out, although you can never go back to Linlangfang, but you will not die like this. ”

"It's a pity that you have no remorse." Jin Xiaolou took two steps back.

In the gloomy cell, Jiang Chan could barely see Jin Xiaolou's face clearly, only feeling that there was a black swamp in front of her, which was about to swallow her up.

"Sirui was born clever but her mind is not pure to borrow you to take the position, and she is very stupid and naïve, and she believes in your pretending appearance in front of others, although she is bewitched by you, Lin'er's heart is also true, and it is also unforgivable." Jin Xiaolou raised his feet and left, "Those other girls are not pure-hearted, but they can't be called traitors, they shouldn't accompany you on this trip." ”

After Jin Xiaolou finished speaking, he turned around and left the cell despite Jiang Chan's chanting behind him.

Who knows, as soon as he went out, he saw Gao Lang waiting in front of him under the sun.

Jin Xiaolou was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed over: "You're back!" ”

Holding Lin'er in one hand, he pulled out his other hand and hugged Jin Xiaolou: "I hugged my son, it's time to hug my mother." ”

After that, they had come up, and the three of them were tightly snuggled together.

Lin'er's little face came out from between the two, her face was full of smiles, her little fingers pointed at Jin Xiaolou's cheeks, calling her mother, and then dotting Gao Lang's cheeks to call her father, and then giggled.

Gao Lang took advantage of the hugging of Jin Xiaolou and said softly: "The lady is really powerful, I thought it would be easy to find, but I didn't know if I asked casually, the name of the golden shopkeeper of Linlangfang has resounded throughout the capital!" ”

"I knew that the lady was trying to support me, but she worked hard to make money!"

As soon as Gao Lang's words fell, Jin Xiaolou pushed him away with one hand, and said with a sneer: "Shameless, I make money to raise Lin'er, what does it have to do with you!" ”

"Don't be stubborn, lady, Lin'er, this little cub has a little bit, where can you spend so much silver." Gao Lang leaned up again and twisted Jin Xiaolou's arm, "Lady is asking Jinwu to hide Jiaojiao and earn enough money to support me." ”
