Chapter 136 Letter

The carriage swayed slowly and finally arrived at the gate of Hu's mansion.

Chen Shiyi got off the carriage and saluted respectfully towards the fifth prince's carriage behind him.

"Thank you for seeing me off, Fifth Prince."

The fifth prince opened the carriage curtain and laughed heartily.

"What is your relationship with Pei Luoshu?"

Chen Shiyi raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with shock.

“We are very good friends.”

The fifth prince said meaningfully.

"Friends?"

"Yes."

"Oh, that's right. You're my only friend in Kyoto, so I have to take care of you."

After saying this, he lowered the car curtain and left.

Chen Shiyi stood at the door and watched the fifth prince's carriage getting farther and farther away before he went in.

In the Liluo Courtyard, Chen Shiyi was tossing and turning on the bed.

It turns out that the friend Pei Luoshu was talking about was the Fifth Prince.

No wonder, the matter of the Qinyun Building bandits was probably suppressed by him.

The fifth prince had an innocent look on his face, but the clothes he wore were solemn and mature.

Sure enough, everyone in the royal family looks a little weird.

When I returned to Qinyun Building the next day, someone delivered something to me outside the door.

Chen Shiyi opened the gift box, which contained a box of extremely small colorful rice dumplings and an unopened letter.

As soon as he opened it, Pei Luoshu's handwriting instantly came into view.

11. Seeing you is like seeing you!

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, I wish you well.

The store has made new wine, but it is not as good as the peach blossoms that make you drunk. That's all.

As the pen falls, I miss you deeply. I hope you can pick up my love for you.

Mingxiu is the way to success, and in fact it is the way to the top. I hope you will drink slowly and enjoy the fragrance of tea.

Chen Shiyi leaned against the window, thinking about the letter quietly, looking at the whole food box of rice dumplings on the table. The rice dumplings were still steaming. He didn't know who had made them, and they were made so exquisitely.

After a while, there was a sound from downstairs, and someone delivered something.

Li Yunzhou's eyes brightened a little.

She smiled at Bai Ling.

"It's time for our boss to have his day."

But Bai Ling didn't care.

“I don’t know who it belongs to yet.”

Sure enough, Bailing's face turned dark when he heard that it was from the Marquis' Mansion.

Even though the train was filled with expensive and complicated cloth, snack boxes, precious medicinal materials, and novel and fresh gadgets…

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi asked Li Yunzhou to help her return it.

"Is it difficult to return the Dragon Boat Festival gift?"

Chen Shiyi said calmly.

"If it's not easy to return, just throw it away."

Li Yun was shocked when he heard this on Monday, and immediately responded and went to do the work.

Bailing was tidying up the room when she saw Chen Shiyi sitting on a stool with a letter in his hand, staring blankly for a long time.

"Sister, do we have any gifts to give?"

Only then did Chen Shiyi come to his senses.

"Is the carrier pigeon in Lingyu Villa?"

"Um."

"We've returned to Lingyu Villa. Tomorrow we'll take Yuanxi, Yuanshu, Xuwen and the others to Kyoto to celebrate the festival with the old man."

Qingsong returned to Lingyun Pavilion and saw Wen Zhiheng reading, feeling embarrassed.

"My Lord, Qinyunlou has returned all the gifts."

Wen Zhiheng didn't seem surprised at all and spoke without raising his head.

"If you withdraw, just give it to the servants to share!"

"yes."

"Did you find out what she did in Huaizhou during that time?"

Qingsong replied respectfully.

"The girl first went to Huaizhou, and then went to a place called Yougu County. When she came back, she brought two carts of tea. She must be planning to do tea business."

"Rivendell County? Is there anything special about it?"

"That county is very poor, but it produces a lot of white tea. And the girl has a wide range of information channels. I think she must have known that the tea there is of good quality and cheap, so she went there."

Wen Zhiheng suddenly became interested.

"What information channel?"

When Qingsong saw Wen Zhiheng smiling, he also became more relaxed.

"She has a subordinate named Fu Xuwen who is very good at collecting information about small businesses, so she asked him to collect information about the market conditions among the people and see where the business is good."

Wen Zhiheng nodded.

"She likes to think about these things, and she thinks about them very well."

"The girl is very smart and is good at business."

"When her tea shop opens, find a few people to buy some tea and send some to various prefectures. Then have a few storytellers in the teahouse to help spread her reputation."

"yes."

Qingsong asked again.

"That's it?"

Wen Zhiheng focused his eyes on the book again.

"right."

"Marquis, why don't you take some time to meet the girl and talk to her about the past? Your Loyal Marquisate is still for her to keep. Besides, she was watching you beating the drums at the last dragon boat race!"

Wen Zhiheng raised the corners of his mouth.

"Did you see that?"

"Of course, the girl's business is my business."

Wen Zhiheng pondered for a moment.

"Let's talk about the meeting later."

"So from now on, will you still send gifts during every festival?"

"Give it to her. If she doesn't want it, you can deal with it yourself."

In the back government office of Yougu County, Pei Luoshu was leaning against the window writing when suddenly a white pigeon flew to his window.

When Pei Luoshu looked up, he saw the note tied to the pigeon and couldn't help feeling happy.

The note was rolled and tied very casually. If it weren't for the fast flying pigeon, I'm afraid the letter would not have reached his hands.

Open it and take a look.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival.

Just these four words, and that’s it.

Pei Luoshu searched left and right for a long time before finally accepting the fact that she had written four words.

Well, four words are pretty good.

Fu Feng stood behind him, casually looking at Pei Luoshu's nervous and surprised expression.

He glanced at it and thought, just four words, are worthy of him treasuring it like this?

"Sir."

"Um."

"Last time you asked me to find out who saved the girl's life."

Pei Luoshu then looked up at Fu Feng.

"How's the investigation going?"

"I heard it was a guard, and he seems to be dead."

Pei Luoshu was greatly shocked.

"Dead?"

"Yes."

"She still wants to marry him even though he's dead. How can that make sense?"

Fu Feng smiled.

"I guess the girl wouldn't want to reject you just because of this excuse."

"No, she obviously likes me."

"Then, why is that?"

Pei Luoshu looked at the letter in his hand and was silent for a while.

"Maybe I haven't done enough. She and I are together less often than we are apart. There are many things she doesn't tell me."

He remembered something and asked again.

"Fufeng, what information did you get when you visited the prefectural government last time?"

Only when talking about serious matters did Fu Feng's expression become serious.

"The conversation between the prefect and his staff was indeed about the bandit suppression. It is said that the prefect's position is expected to change soon. He has spent a lot of money to make arrangements in Kyoto. I think he wants to enter the capital."

Pei Luoshu nodded.

"Of course, the prefect has been in the city for a long time. If he has achievements, he must do everything he can to let the capital know. The performance review is conducted every three years, and this is a very rare opportunity."

"Then we..."

"Please contact the capital, and when the governor tells the county governor about this achievement, please include my name in the list. This achievement cannot be taken by him alone..."

"yes."

Pei Luo inadvertently thought of something and said a few words into Fu Feng's ear.

Fu Feng blinked in disbelief.

"Sir, what you did is too immoral."
