No one was disturbed by Yuan Qingqing's good mood, Shen Yanshu felt a lot calmer on the street, she slept dizzily these days, and often had nightmares, recalling the picture of her previous life before she died, she always felt that her current life was a little unreal.

Looking at this bustling street, there is an endless stream of shouts and people, as if in a dream.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan looked at Shen Yanshu and chuckled, "Haven't you stayed in the mansion for too long, and you feel fresh when you see everything?"

Shen Yanshu came back to his senses, but smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Maybe so." ”

Xiao Yan held her hand, obviously the sun was warm and the flowers were in full bloom, but Shen Yanshu's hands were cold.

"Why don't we go and see the jewelry?" Xiao Yan suggested.

After all, between the girl's house, she often visits some dim sum shops or jewelry stores, picks out jewelry, drinks tea and chats, and has a fulfilling day.

Shen Yanshu said: "It's better to go to Xiao's Silk Village to have a look, I really want to know how you do business." ”

"Although I also learn to run and run the house on weekdays, the things in the village are all done by my brothers, and I don't know much about it!" Xiao Yan said, "But since you are interested, let's go and take a look, it just so happens that Brother Nansheng is in the Zhuangzi today." ”

Xiao's Silk Village is not in the lively main block, but the relatively deserted western edge of the city, but it is their main village, which is a place for goods, and the Xiao family has shops in prosperous areas around the country, and will also provide goods to other merchants, so the business is quite big.

When he came to the silk village, a man who looked like a shopkeeper who was directing the loading of goods saw Xiao Yan and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, why are you here?"

Xiao Yan said: "It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, so I came over with my cousin to have a look." Uncle Gui, can Brother Nansheng be inside?"

"It's really unfortunate, the second son happens to have a business just negotiated, and he is planning to load the goods to the dock to load. Uncle Gui said, glanced at Shen Yanshu, and knew that this was the girl from the Shen family who came to the Xiao family a few days ago, and saluted: "Miss Biao." ”

Shen Yanshu smiled lightly and nodded, which was considered to be the answer.

Xiao Yan said: "Oh, is it the goods you want there?"

Uncle Gui replied: "The people from Chang'an, I heard that it is for official use. ”

Shen Yanshu listened and said on the side: "It seems to be a big deal. ”

Uncle Gui just said: "Where is the big deal, although this is for official use, it is the second best satin in our Xiao family, and the quantity is not much." ”

Shen Yanshu is strange, although the things for this official household can not be too luxurious, but they are not too inferior, not to mention that the quantity of this order is not much, why do you order in Jiangzhou and send it all the way to Chang'an?

Isn't that hard work!

"Who ordered this?" Shen Yanshu said, "Can it be easily revealed?"

"What's inconvenient about this, it's Qiao Chunwen, the eldest son of the Qiao family in Chang'an, who Governor Yuan has been receiving in the past few days. Uncle Gui said, "The merchants in the Jiangnan area all know that Qiao Chunwen wants to come to purchase things for official use, and many merchants even come to the door to recommend themselves! ”

Qiao Chunwen is the eldest brother of Qiao Zhanwen, the eldest princess of Pingle, and is also the father of Qiao Xi.

Shen Yanshu's heart turned back and forth, this counts, Qiao Chunwen is the future father-in-law of Pei Yao, the son of King Jing!

Thinking that Pei Yao is also in Jiangzhou now, I can't help but look forward to what kind of scene these two people will be like if they meet.

"What is my cousin thinking?" Xiao Yan asked, "Could it be that you also know someone from the Qiao family?"

Shen Yanshu shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that when I was in Chang'an, I heard that the emperor intended to marry this Qiao Chunwen's daughter to the prince of King Jing, and I thought that now should be the time to take on a heavy responsibility." ”

"Let this Qiao Chunwen's daughter be the princess of King Jing?" Uncle Gui said, "How can you say that this King Jing's Mansion is also the gate of princes, what does the emperor think!"

Shen Yanshu naturally knew the emperor's plan, but others didn't know it, they just felt that this was not right.

Qiao Chunwen relied on his younger brother to mix up a small official position in the household department, but it was not distempered, such a daughter from a small official position, if she gave marriage to the prince of King Jing, she couldn't say anything, so in order to make the two sides "right at home", this Qiao Chunwen had to make some merits.

However, the petty official of this household department usually procures some goods, and it is a position with plenty of oil and water, but it is really difficult to say what merit can be done.

Shen Yanshu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he thought of something.

"This time, the goods will be transported by water, will the Xiao family's ship or the official's ship be used?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Uncle Gui said: "The official boat used, when they went south, they went down by boat. ”

Shen Yanshu confirmed the thoughts in his heart.

As they were talking, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came from a distance, and they came towards the silk village in a menacing manner.

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't react to what was going on.

"A few officials, what's going on?" Uncle Gui saw that they were coming for their own silk village, but he still stepped forward to ask.

The leader who walked in front glanced at Uncle Gui with disdain, and said coldly: "You Xiao Clan are really so bold that you actually injured our prefect Miss!

"This ...... What's going on?" Uncle Gui was stunned for a moment, completely unclear about the situation.

The man shouted at the men who were loading the goods, "Throw all these things away at me!"

Xiao Yan was frightened, but her hand still held Shen Yanshu tightly and pulled her back a short distance, so as not to cause the two weak women to suffer too, after all, her cousin's injury was not healed!

Xiao Nansheng, who was in the store, was about to go to the dock with the goods, when suddenly someone came to report that the officers and soldiers had brought people to smash things, so he went out, and when he saw the scene of them smashing things, he hurriedly stopped: "What are you doing? Why are you smashing the things in our store! This is the goods ordered by Master Qiao!"

"The prefect said, I don't order this from you!" the leader sneered.

Xiao Nansheng still wanted to find the leader to theorize something, but was pulled by Shen Yanshu's sleeve.

"Cousin Mo is impulsive!" Shen Yanshu said, "just let them smash it, it's okay if people are fine, anyway, this transaction is not necessarily a good thing." ”

When Shen Yanshu said this, Xiao Nansheng also stopped, turned his head to look at Shen Yanshu, but frowned: "Why did Yan'er bring you here, go back to the house!"

Xi Yan said behind Shen Yanshu: "Don't worry, with me, they can't hurt Miss." ”

Xiao Nansheng frowned, helplessly seeing that the officers and soldiers threw the freshly loaded silk all over the ground, trampled on it at will, and even tore the cloth directly out of the cracks, he felt a headache.

He turned his head and asked Shen Yanshu, "Is it that Yuan Qingqing went to the mansion to find trouble again?"

Shen Yanshu said honestly: "Yes, but she went to find Yan Qinghan, with Yan Qinghan's temper, I don't know what she can do." ”

Xiao Nansheng sighed, Yan Qinghan is a daughter, naturally he can't stand Yuan Qingqing's temperament, and it is not impossible to be ruthless.

It's just that this Yuan Governor's Mansion has always had a small amount of energy, and he must have calculated this account on the Xiao family, so he came to find trouble with them.

Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said, "Since they came to smash the things in our store, they will definitely go to the mansion to find trouble?"

Xiao Nansheng and Shen Yanshu looked at each other, but forgot about this stubble.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers destroyed all the goods this time that they returned with victory like a winning rooster, and Uncle Gui sighed in distress on the side, although this is Xiao's most inferior material, it also contains the hard work of many people!

Xiao Nansheng said: "Just buy a lesson, and in the future, you will be farther away from the Yuan family." ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Even if these goods are not destroyed now, they will be disposed of as waste in a few days." ”

Xiao Nansheng asked puzzledly, "Why is this?"

"Because the drunkard of the Qiao family doesn't mean to drink. Shen Yanshu said, "Under the guise of procurement, they have other calculations, and these goods are just to cover people's eyes." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Nansheng naturally understood what Shen Yanshu meant, although he didn't know what Qiao Chunwen's calculation was, but with the different signs of their order, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary purchase.

Maybe it's really as Shen Yanshu said, this deal is better if it is not done.

Xiao Nansheng and the servants of the Silk Village were cleaning up the mess, Shen Yanshu and Xiao Yan couldn't help much, so they could only go back to the mansion first, thinking that Xiao Yan was probably scared.

After only walking two streets, Xiao Yan felt that her legs were a little weak and she couldn't walk, so the maids went to find a sedan chair, planning to let the ladies go back in a sedan chair, while Shen Yanshu suggested going to the tea shop on the side of the road to rest.

"Are you okay?" Sitting in the tea shop, Shen Yanshu handed Xiao Yan a cup of tea.

Xiao Yan drank it all, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Shen Yanshu worriedly: "Originally, since Yuan Jing'an took office for a year, our Xiao family has always been at peace with the government, but now that we have provoked him, what should we do in the future?"

"You don't have to worry about that, uncle and cousin will take care of it. The Xiao family has been able to stand in the mall for so many years, and it has some foundation, but it will not fall because of a small prefect. Shen Yanshu comforted her and said.

After listening to Shen Yanshu's words, Xiao Yan was really relieved.

Shen Yanshu just wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly saw a beggar in a corner not far behind Xiao Yan, who was hunched and dressed in tatters, rummaging around in the garbage heap, his back was so familiar.

Following her gaze, Xiao Yan, who was already uncomfortable, was completely sick to her stomach when she saw this scene, and almost didn't vomit, and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"What is there to look at beggars!" Xiao Yan said speechlessly.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "This beggar often rummages through the garbage heap nearby, and he doesn't listen to any persuasion. ”

Seeing that the maid finally found a sedan chair, Xiao Yan pulled Shen Yanshu and got into the sedan chair.

"Green kite, go and give the beggar a few taels of silver. Before getting up from the sedan chair, Shen Yanshu instructed the green kite.

The green kite nodded, trotted a few taels of silver into the beggar and came back.
