Suddenly, Qin Jing's hand clapped on Su Zijin's outstretched hand.

"Hey!" Su Zijin retracted his hand suddenly, "Why are you beating people?" ”

Qin Jing looked at Su Zijin while looking at his hands, and looked at himself with wide eyes accusatory, and the old god said, "Pisces has been given, and you have already accepted the marriage contract, so you can't regret the marriage at will, do you think that the marriage contract between you and me is a family?" ”

Su Zijin listened to Qin Jing's words, and didn't know for a while whether to be happy that he had taken a fancy to the marriage contract, or regret that he was easily fooled by Qin Jing, so he had to press the urge to endure enough to return Pisces, "Got it, then you have something to say slowly, why are you beating people?" ”

"I'll teach you a lesson, let you know what's important." Qin Jing stretched out his hand, and Su Zijin held his hand and retreated, "What are you doing?" ”

Qin Jing laughed, "I'll see if it's heavy." ”

Su Zijin shook his head, "No." ”

Qin Jing didn't insist anymore.

Silence spread.

"My birthday crown on March 18 next year."

"What?"

Su Zijin was puzzled.

"Your crown?"

Qin nodded, "Yes, I hope you can come, as my fiancée, to appear in Kyoto." ”

Facing Qin Jing's firm gaze, Su Zijin knew that this was the time limit that Qin Jing had given him to stay in Shu County.

Su Zijin thought for a while and nodded, "I know, I'll rush back when the time comes." ”

From now until March next year, she has a full year to stay in Shu County. Faced with the fact that Qin Jing didn't know anything, he was still willing to give himself time, Su Zijin was still relieved.

"It's a deal."

Qin Jing stretched out his hand, Su Zijin reached out and slapped it, high-fived as an oath.

"It's a deal."

…

Qin Jing took his younger brother and Mocui peony with him, coming and going like the wind, and disappeared in Shu County, except for Su Zijin here, leaving no trace.

"Sister Zijin, who is that Huang Gongzi?"

A few days later, Xue Baozhu came to visit the house and specially asked Su Zijin.

Looking at her cautious look, Su Zijin said calmly, "It's my fiancé." ”

"Huh?" Xue Baozhu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to be unwilling to ask, "You can see that your relationship is not ordinary that day, but I didn't expect it to be your fiancé?" Xue Baozhu muttered, "I haven't heard you mention that you have a fiancé on weekdays. ”

Su Zijin said calmly, "It was decided when I saw her that day." ”

"Huh?!" Xue Baozhu was even more surprised, "Private for life? ”

Looking at Su Zijin's speechless expression, Xue Baozhu smiled, "It's definitely impossible, Huang Gongzi looks like everyone is from a background, and he won't do such a thing." And Zijin's sister is also from a noble family in Kyoto, and she knows self-denial, so she probably won't do anything to surrender her identity. ”

Faced with Xue Baozhu's words, Su Zijin didn't pay attention to it, and only drank tea by himself, Xue Baozhu stayed for a while, and then excused himself to leave.

"Zijin, Baozhu came to you today, why did you stay for a while and leave? You little sisters have a quarrel? ”

At dinner, my grandmother remembered and asked Su Zijin.

Su Zijin shook his head, "It's okay, just said a few words." The youngest daughter's mind is the same for a while, who can outsiders know? ”

My grandmother couldn't help but smile when she heard the tone of her own son, she loved Baozhu and was three years younger, but she said Baozhu in an old-fashioned tone.

…

Su Zijin told Qin Jing that staying in Shu County was naturally not meaningless to stay in Shu County, she had her own plans.

When they came to Shu County with Zhang Long, Su Zijin made up his mind to take Zhang Long to make a career. I thought there was enough time, but I didn't expect that it would take more than half a year to take over my grandfather's family business, and I would return to Beijing in March next year, so I had to hurry up my own affairs.

"Miss, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Long came to the study in the front yard and saw Su Zijin.

Su Zijin came back to his senses from the big map of Shu County and looked at Zhang Long.

"When I came, I said that I would take you with me to earn an extra share of money, and it's time to make good on it."

Su Zijin's voice fell, Zhang Long opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say it, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

"Miss, no one will be suspicious of silver, and what you said is to bring our ordinary brothers to make a fortune together, if I refuse your kindness at this time, it is equivalent to blocking the brothers' financial route. If I agree to your matter and let the other brothers in the mansion know that there will be no outnumbering but unevenness, I am afraid that the guards in the mansion will have hidden dangers, even if the general knows about this matter, he will not agree. ”

Su Zijin knew Zhang Long's worries, they were worried that they would cause conflicts because of the silver, and finally saw that the errands of the Su family's guards were lost. But Su Zijin also had no choice. She doesn't have a competent manpower, and Zhang Long's loyalty and ability are not to be said, how can she let go of the ready-made hand-manpower?

At that moment, Su Zijin waved his hand, "Zhang Long, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the house, I will tell my father." Right now, let's just talk about you, are you willing to take the Su family's guards and make a fortune with me? ”

Before Zhang Long could say anything, Hou Yitou, who was guarding the door, appeared at the door, "Zhang Tou'er, don't hesitate, Miss is a man of all words, and she is willing to pull us, what else do we little ones have to hesitate about?" ”

Zhang Long glared at Hou Yi, stared her back at the door and stood guard, and then looked at Su Zijin, "Miss's ability, we all see it in our eyes, in the future, our future will be handed over to Miss!" ”

"Good!" Su Zijin was overjoyed, "Come here, look at this map, from here to here, do you have the confidence to lead the team over?" ”

Zhang Long looked at the map carefully, this was specially brought by the young lady from the General's Mansion, at that time he should have wondered, his own young lady did not fancy the map of the gems sent by the four princes, but at this time he finally understood that his own young lady had made up her mind before coming to Shu County.

"Miss, if you want to go there, there are two roads, one is to go west, but it is not easy to go up the mountain and water along the way, if you have enough time, let's detour to the southwest, in this way, the road will be much smoother, that is, time, I am afraid it will take more than half of the time."

"How long will it take to get back and forth?"

"I'm afraid it will take more than a month."

Su Zijin nodded, although there were only two people in the study, Su Zijin and Zhang Long, but Su Zijin still lowered his voice, "Right now, our business is a unique business, and after a trip, you can make a lot of money, and ordinary people can't spend it in a lifetime, but the danger is that I want to tell you in advance, after all, I just plan and really implement, and it depends on your strength." ”

Zhang Long also nodded solemnly, "We are born as the Su family, and we are dead as the ghosts of the Su family, so we must do our best." ”

Su Zijin nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's work together on this business, I will take half of it, and the other half will be divided equally among you people, if it happens, we will really have peace of mind." ”

Su Zijin habitually drew the pie first, and then pointed to Zhang Long to the location of the Qiang nationality in a large area outside the map, "Here, gold, silver, and gems are produced, as well as BMWs, but do you know?" Because of the bitter cold weather, they can only eat meat to keep out the cold, and after a long time, people here have dark diseases in their stomachs, and we have an antidote to their incurable diseases. Do you think they will trade the jewel BMW for the antidote? ”

"Of course!" Zhang Long nodded.

Su Zijin took out a package of things from the treasure shelf, "This is the antidote, how much you want." You go over with the antidote and come back in exchange for BMW gems, it's that simple. The most rare thing about this is that the road is difficult. As long as the road is familiar, it will be a road to Jinshan in the future. ”

Under Zhang Long's widening eyes, Su Zijin slowly opened the "antidote" in his hand.

"Tea?!"

"That's right!"

…

It has been more than a month since Zhang Long and his departure, and Su Zijin has been dealing with the business chores in the southwest of the Chang family every day, just sitting on the corner tower in the courtyard of Changfu, looking to the southwest, waiting for Zhang Long and their return.

Their group, if they succeed, they are a hundred times more worthy, and if they fail, they have no bones. Su Zijin didn't show it on his face, and he was secretly anxious in his heart.

"Zijin! Why do you love it so much? ”

The grandmother walked up the stairs step by step and came to Su Zijin.

At this time, it was already the height of summer, the bamboo curtains on all sides of the attic were lowered, the wind and the sun were shaded, and there was an ice basin in the corner pavilion, Su Zijin was in such a comfortable environment, he could stay for a day.

"Or you'll enjoy it, it's really cool and breezy here."

Grandmother sat down in front of Su Zijin and said as she put an invitation in front of Su Zijin.

"What is this?"

Su Zijin asked as he opened it.

"It's an invitation from the Xue family next door. Master Xue is promoted, and he will be an official of the Ministry of Beijing in the future, before leaving, post a gathering together. ”

Although Su Zijin had no experience in this area, he also knew that it was not easy for the Xue family to ascend from the local area to Kyoto.

"People's happy events, of course we have to join in the fun."

On the day of the Xue family's banquet, Su Zijin followed his grandmother to Xue's mansion.

Su Zijin gathered with Xue Baozhu and many other official ladies as usual at the gazebo in the backyard garden.

"Baozhu, when you arrive in Kyoto, don't forget us."

"That's it, Sister Baozhu, if there is a chance, we will go to see you, and by the way, I will thank you and appreciate the scenery of Kyoto."

Xue Baozhu was surrounded by everyone, smiling brightly and proudly, "Don't worry, let's grow up together, how could I forget you?" When my family settles down in Kyoto, I'll write to you, and if you have time, you'll have to see me! ”

Su Zijin watched lazily from the side, and now what these children say is not true. In the current traffic environment, unless someone is lucky enough to transfer to Kyoto, this should be the last time these little sisters will meet.

And I don't know if it's my own delusion, since the last time Xue Baozhu came to the house to ask about "Huang Gongzi", Xue Baozhu hasn't liked to talk and play with himself for a long time.

Su Zijin doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to think too much, people's hearts are unpredictable, and guessing other people's minds is to find his own guilt.

Therefore, Su Zijin lazily leaned on the pavilion pillar on the side, watching everyone reluctantly say goodbye.

"Miss Su, someone from the house came to report, saying that it was Zhang Escort who turned around, and something was reported to Miss Su."

Su Zijin almost jumped up happily, facing the eyes of the girls, Su Zijin coughed and eased his emotions, "It should be a situation in which tea house, I'll go back and take a look first." Miss Baozhu, I'm sorry, I can't continue to see you off, we have a chance, see you in Kyoto. ”

The corners of Xue Baozhu's mouth curled into a smile, "Sister Zijin has something to do, just go and be busy, let's talk about it later." ”

After Su Zijin saluted, he quickly left.

"Why is she like this? It's just that the guards have something to do, where can it compare to the sisters? Sister Baozhu used to be so good to her. ”

There was a young lady muttering about this complaint.

"Hey, the Chang family has been in business for generations, and now Su Zijin has also learned to be a philistine, so naturally business is more important than affection."

Some people are weird.

Everyone keenly found that Xue Baozhu did not defend Su Zijin as before, so they talked about Su Zijin one after another.

Su Zijin hurriedly returned home, not knowing what others were talking about, naturally, even if she knew her, she didn't care. Her thoughts now are all on Zhang Long and them.

"How?"

Su Zijin gasped for breath and looked at Hou Yi who was waiting in the study.

Hou Yi stepped out of the way, revealing Zhang Long with a weathered face behind him.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

Zhang Long was also excited, proud and cautious, and saluted Su Zijin.

"Tell us more!"

Su Zijin walked to the map and asked Zhang Long and Hou Yi to tell him about their feelings and gains along the way.

Zhang Long glanced at Hou Yi, and Hou Yi took out a ledger from his arms.

"Miss, the harvest of this trip is all recorded."

Su Zijin took it and doubled it at a glance, "There are so many?" ”

Seeing that Su Zijin rarely showed a surprised expression, Zhang Long and Hou Yi were all proud, "Miss doesn't know, let's go to the land of the Qiang people, only then do we know that tea is in the Qiang people, which is comparable to gold." If it weren't for the strength of our soldiers, I can't say how many people would be concerned, just like that, we have done a few battles and seen some blood, so we can gain a firm foothold and make a deal with a big tribe. They don't have copper coins, they sell all gold and horses and cattle and sheep, we listen to you, only gold, horses and precious stones, and now, these things are here! ”

Zhang Long pointed to the box in the middle of the study and said, "These are gold and precious stones, and the horses are left outside the city to avoid being noticed. ”

Su Zijin nodded, "Okay, you must have suffered a lot along the way, tell me quickly, where is the rarest, what do you need to prepare?" Do we have any casualties this time? This time, let's sum up the experience, and next time it will definitely be smoother. ”

Zhang Long and Hou Yi stood in front of the map and pointed to one of the mountains, "This is the most dangerous place, there are locusts and miasma, but fortunately, we are well prepared, there is no danger, we have a few people who are seriously injured, so we will stay in the Qiang tribe to recuperate, just right, the next transaction, with their contact, there will be more tribes to contact us." Moreover, when we went this time, we found that there were people who did the same business as us, but they were alone, and sometimes they were robbed by the Qiang locals, so they could only sneak into small fights. For now, we're strong. But in order to continue in the future, miss, I'm afraid we need to add some more manpower. ”

Su Zijin nodded, "Don't worry, let's be conservative this year, we would rather be slower, but also be safe, open up the route, and when I return to Kyoto, I will send reliable personnel to Shu County, so that you can also be replaced." After all, after turning so much, if you don't let you go back and show off, isn't it a night walk in brocade? ”

Su Zijin's words made Zhang Long Houyi scratch his head and laugh They were born in the military and had a net worth, the first thing they wanted to hide in their stomachs, take them home, and take them out one by one in front of their wives and children, winning their exclamations.

"Miss rest assured, although there are not many of our guards, but now we are on the rise, we must be familiar with the follow-up brothers before returning to Beijing next year, so that when Miss returns to Beijing next year, we can do a big job here!"

Zhang Long said solemnly, Su Zijin nodded, "Well, everything will wait to return to Beijing." ”
