It wasn't because they grew up together, Feng Yuanchen must have felt that this one around him was definitely not Sheng Zhiyao.

It seemed that he still didn't know her well enough, and although she was still by his side now, he was more likely to stand behind her.

Feng Yuanchen closed his eyes, trying to expel the messy thoughts in his mind, since she liked this kind of life, then he was by her side.

The next day, Sheng Zhiyao was still asleep, when he was disturbed by a knock on the door, after opening his eyes, he stretched, "Who? Don't you know the habits of the lord of this county?"

Grandpa Ding, who was outside the door, heard her complaint, his face twitched, it was noon, and he was too angry to get up.

"It's me, Grandpa Ding."

Grandpa Ding? Sheng Zhiyao rubbed the corners of her forehead and sat up: "What are you doing? Grandpa Ding."

Grandpa Ding stood outside the door and said expressionlessly, "Go and freshen up, the old turtle has sent someone."

Sheng Zhiyao suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly jumped out of bed and rushed over to open the door.

"Grandpa Ding, what about people?"

Grandpa Ding glanced at her, "Anxious now? When you go back, I tell them you're still sleeping, and tell them to come back in the afternoon."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and then thought about it, "Grandpa Ding, let's discuss one thing."

Grandpa Ding stared at her vigilantly, "What's the matter? I disagree! I feel more and more like your grandfather now, scheming."

Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "Grandpa Ding, are you complimenting me? You don't have to agree, we're going to get there, aren't we?"

Grandpa Ding pondered for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "Say, what's the matter?"

Sheng Zhiyao leaned close to him and whispered a few words in his ear, and then winked at him: "We must get the maximum profit from this cooperation."

"......" The corners of Grandpa Ding's mouth twitched fiercely, and he glared at Sheng Zhiyao: "You want to trap me to death like this?"

"Where, I'm obviously talking to Grandpa Ding about cooperation."

"What kind of cooperation are you? Also, how do you know that I ran away from here for a woman?"

Sheng Zhiyao pouted: "I'm not stupid, last night the Emperor of Western Chu looked at you after speaking, you quickly lowered your head, as if you were afraid that someone would recognize you again, and finally I saw the Emperor of Western Chu looking at a noble lady under her right hand, I guess it should be the eldest princess, right?"

Grandpa Ding's mouth was open enough to stuff eggs, and he relieved himself after half a sound, touched his beard, and said with relief: "I really didn't expect you to be so smart and intelligent, I immediately thought that it was the eldest princess."

Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "Grandpa Ding, don't worry, I won't harm you."

"Okay, I'll trust you once."

"Thank you, Grandpa Ding, Grandpa Ding is wise!" Sheng Zhiyao flattered, "Grandpa Ding, if it works out in the afternoon, how about I make a big meal for you in the evening?"

Grandpa Ding hesitated for a long time before he sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, eat people with soft mouths and short hands."

Sheng Zhiyao laughed with a grin: "I know that Grandpa Ding, you are the most understanding."

"Hmph." Grandpa Ding turned his head and left, "By the way, remember to get up early in the afternoon."

"Got it." Sheng Zhiyao closed the door and immediately jumped up and prepared to sleep.

Then the door opened again, and she almost screamed in fright, but fortunately she reacted in time and covered her mouth.

"Y-You walk without a sound? Do you want to scare me to death?" Sheng Zhiyao looked at him vigilantly.

"I thought you saw me." Feng Yuanchen moved in slowly.

"See you? What do you see? You're not an unusual thing." Sheng Zhiyao's face was full of disgust.

Feng Yuanchen frowned and looked at her for a long time, then suddenly bent over, picked her up horizontally and threw her on the bed: "If you want to sleep, you can sleep, I'll help you guard it."

"Yes! Then I'll show you this." After speaking, he took out a book from under his pillow and handed it to him.

Feng Yuanchen took it suspiciously, glanced at it a few times, and instantly blackened: "What is this written?"

Sheng Zhiyao crossed his arms around his chest and replied inscrutablely, "Here are some pictures of the new type of firecracker."

The corners of Feng Yuanchen's mouth twitched a few times: "You also know firearms?"

"I really don't understand this! But the second brother's drawing was indeed given to him by me, but it was copied from the TV, but I ordered this book back, you can take a look."

Feng Yuanchen silently put down the book and looked up at her.

Sheng Zhiyao blinked: "What's wrong? Don't like it?"

"I like it, I'll watch it when you fall asleep."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded reasonably: "Well, okay." As he spoke, he lifted the brocade and was blindfolded and continued to sleep.

Feng Yuanchen stroked his forehead wordlessly.

Sheng Zhiyao had been exposed to the sun three times after waking up, she yawned and sat up, stretching: "I'm so hungry, no, I won't sleep."

"Awake? You're hungry, aren't you?"

Sheng Zhiyao turned his head to look at Feng Yuanchen, who was sitting in front of the window holding a book: "Are you still there?"

Feng Yuanchen pointed to the food box on the table: "I specially asked the cook to make it, eat it while it's hot."

Sheng Zhiyao rolled her eyes, smiled brightly, and then flew over to hug his arm, tilted her head and said, "Thank you."

Feng Yuanchen smiled: "Why should the two of us be polite."

"Have you eaten it?" Sheng Zhiyao let go of her hand, "If you haven't eaten yet, then eat with me."

Feng Yuanchen raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

After speaking, she opened the food box and saw that it was full of various dishes: braised pork, steamed egg custard, pork trotters in sauce, sweet and sour fish......

Seeing this, Sheng Zhiyao's saliva flowed out, she unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a chopstick, and nibbled on the pig's trotters: "Hmm, eat so hearty at noon?"

Seeing her gobbling up, Feng Yuanchen was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile: "Isn't this giving you strength to replenish your strength, but you want to see someone later."

"Oh."

After the two of them had eaten, they were cleaning up and drinking tea.

The Emperor of Western Chu sent Zhao Yunshan, the military division of Western Chu, over, and Sheng Zhiyao personally welcomed people in.

After the two of them sat down, Sheng Zhiyao took the lead and said, "I don't know what Junshi Zhao is talking about today?"

"The county lord laughed, I came here for the mine."

Sheng Zhiyao picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Since Zhao Junshi is here, has Your Majesty made a decision?"

Zhao Yunshan smiled gently, not in a hurry or slow: "The county lord has misunderstood, this time I did not come here to discuss the issue of mine development with you on behalf of His Majesty."

Sheng Zhiyao was slightly stunned: "Then what are you?" Could it be that your Majesty has other ideas?"

"Not bad." Zhao Yunshan nodded, "The Western Chu royal family is willing to pay 50,000 taels of gold to buy the polishing technology in your hands."

Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that you guys have this idea! Not for sale!"

Hearing her say this, Zhao Yunshan's face did not change, and he smiled faintly: "As far as I know, the county lord has no ore veins in his hands, let alone other ores, and it is useless to polish it."
