September 9 is an extraordinary day.

Not only because today is the Chung Yeung Festival, but also because it is also the day when the Northern Xuanguo trade caravan returns.

In order to show his attention, the emperor personally met with the caravan leader Jiang Zishuo.

"Jiang Aiqing, how did you get this journey?" The Emperor laughed.

Jiang Zishuo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, this time the minister went to the Western Regions, and after many efforts, he successfully purchased a hundred sweaty and bloody horses. ”

"A hundred? Too little. ”

The emperor frowned, although a hundred horses were sweat and blood, but for the Beixuan army, it was still too little.

Jiang Zishuo said helplessly, "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to buy more BMWs, but he is shy in his pocket." ”

The emperor was silent, this is indeed a hard wound.

In ancient times, when the Central Plains was not divided, the Central Plains Dynasty fell in love with the bloody BMW, and they all directly persuaded the other party to give the BMW by force.

But now the Central Plains is divided into two, and although Beixuan is strong, it is not enough to fight with the Western Regions.

"Okay, let these 100 sweaty BMWs breed for a few years." The Emperor sighed.

At the very least, BMW's seeds can be passed on, right?

"Your Majesty," Jiang Zishuo arched his hand and said, "The minister went back to the Western Regions this time and met with King Anxi, who expressed his willingness to form an alliance with my Beixuan and sent an envoy to negotiate. ”

(Note: Rest is the name of the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, and the era in the book is similar to the Tang Dynasty, here is just a name, history lovers should not take it seriously)

The emperor was overjoyed, "Really? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, King Rest promised that if the alliance is successful, he will provide Beixuan with a certain amount of horses, but we will also have to exchange something for something."

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The emperor applauded again and again, "Tonight's palace banquet, I have changed my mind to a banquet to invite the rest of the envoys, and by the way, treat Jiang Aiqing." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

"Little sister, I'm back."

Jiang Zishuo returned to Jiang's mansion with an excited face, and went to Jiang Yunxian first, but he was closed.

Jiang Yunxian was not at home at all, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Jiang Zishuo didn't find Jiang Yunxian, so he had to go to Jiang Yanming.

Jiang Yanming received his third brother very warmly, and Jiang Zishuo suddenly felt a little ashamed.

'Am I going a little too far?' ’

When I came back, the first thing I thought about was not my little sister who had been with me for more than ten years, and my little sister was still so enthusiastic.

"Third brother, did you bring anything good back?"

"Haha, of course there is."

Jiang Zishuo took out a pile of jewelry and placed it on Jiang Yanming's table.

"These are the jewelry I bought in the Western Regions, and there is a big difference between them and Beixuan's style, I think you should like it."

"In addition, I also bought you clothes from the Western Regions, although the clothes there are rough, but they are different from Beixuan's style."

Jiang Zishuo thought that Jiang Yanming would like the things he brought back, after all, she was very happy when he went out and came back to bring a bunch of clothes and jewelry to his little sister.

But this time, Jiang Zishuo miscalculated.

Jiang Yanming looked at the pile of jewelry on his table, just said "um" lightly, and then put away all the jewelry.

Jiang Zishuo was very strange, until he left Jiang Yanming's yard, he didn't understand why the little sister didn't like these things.

"Peach, what has your young lady liked lately? Didn't she like these ornaments the most before? ”

Taohong replied to Jiang Zishuo, "Why doesn't Miss like your gift Third Young Master, I don't know, but the slave knows that Miss has been very interested in medicinal herbs recently. ”

"Medicinal herbs? That's right, she and Jiang Zishu's fake seriousness are both disciples of the Divine Medicine Valley. ”

In this case, Jiang Zishuo returned to Jiang Yanming's courtyard.

"Little sister, see what I brought you?"

Jiang Zishuo took out a pot of plants, Jiang Yanming looked at the plants in Jiang Zishuo's hands, and his eyes were straight.

"It's not ...... Third brother, you actually have this thing? ”

Jiang Yanming said in surprise.

Jiang Zishuo was very satisfied with Jiang Yanming's reaction, and at the same time secretly apologized to his second brother in his heart.

The medicinal herbs in this potted plant were originally a gift to the ginger tree, but if the little sister likes it, she can only grieve the ginger tree.

Jiang Yanming was not polite to Jiang Zishuo, and directly moved the potted plants back to his house.

In the original book, Jiang Zishuo's street lamp pendant was the first to ignore the relationship with the original owner for more than ten years and join the heroine's camp, although Jiang Yanming has no ill feelings towards Jiang Zishuo, but he doesn't want to give this profiteer a good look.

However, Jiang Zishuo gave too much.

The potted plant given by Jiang Zishuo is the medicinal herb of the Western Regions needed to make Yuyan Cream, and this potted plant Jiang Yanming is estimated to be conservative at 50,000 taels.

"Little sister, do you know where Sister Yunxian has gone?"

After chatting with Jiang Yanming for a while, Jiang Zishuo asked.

"You said sister, why don't you go to the East Palace to find her?"

"Donggong? Why did Yun Xian go to the Prince's East Palace? ”

Jiang Zishuo couldn't help but feel a little nervous, you must know that Jiang Yanming likes the prince, how could she allow someone to go to the East Palace to find the prince?

Or Jiang Yunxian who has a bad relationship with her?

Jiang Yanming didn't see Jiang Zishuo's nervousness, and continued, "Brother Prince has been short of money recently, so he is looking for my sister to cooperate. You know, my sister is very profitable. ”

Jiang Zishuo nodded subconsciously, "That's true." ”

"So you're going to the East Palace to find your sister?"

"No, there's always a chance."

Seeing that Jiang Yanming did not have any ill will towards Jiang Yunxian, Jiang Zishuo breathed a sigh of relief.

After Jiang Zishuo visited his little sister, he left in a hurry.

He hadn't been back for a long time, and he had to look at his ledger and see how much silver he had earned in his absence.

Jiang Yanming and Xiao Chenguang studied the potted plants sent by Jiang Zishuo.

"Miss Jiang, is this strange plant the raw material of Yuyan Cream?" Xiao Chenguang said.

Xiao Chenguang used the Jade Face Cream, and the whole person's feeling was completely different from before.

Xiao Chenguang now knew that Yuyan Cream was completely worthy of this price.

Jiang Yanming said with a smile, "This thing is precious, this strain is about ten jars of Jade Face Cream." ”

The plant in front of Jiang Yanming has a weak detoxification effect, and with Jiang Yunxian's prescription, it is a secret medicine for detoxification and beauty.

Jiang Yanming planned to simplify Jiang Yunxian's Jade Face Cream, reduce costs, and increase the quantity.

Xiao Chenguang gave Jiang Yanming a hand.

……

Night fell, but the palace had just begun to mingle.

The palace banquet in the evening was temporarily changed to a banquet for the rest envoys, and many dignitaries and dignitaries attended this banquet.

The emperor attached great importance to this banquet, so Jiang Zisu, who was in charge of security, could not participate in the banquet and led people to patrol around the palace.

Jiang Yanming, as the concubine of Jiang Mansion, is naturally qualified to appear at this banquet.

However, some people may not be qualified to do so.

"Han Xinxin, you are just the side concubine of this prince, why did you come with you?"

"Your Royal Highness, you only have one side concubine with me, who are you not taking with me?"
