"uncle."
Shangguan Jinnian placed her small hand on the back of Su Xingyi's hand and said coquettishly, "I'm leaving tomorrow. Can I sleep with you for the last night? I'll be scared if I go back to the inn..."
Shangguan Yunxiao opened his mouth in shock. Was this still his Ninth Uncle? He was actually acting like a spoiled child, acting pitiful? He was begging for sleep?
He wanted to tell his grandfather that the Ninth Prince had found a father outside!
"Uncle Jiu, we have to leave the city as soon as the East City Gate opens tomorrow. This place is quite far from the East City Gate..."
Su Xingyi said, "Yunxiao, you two uncle and nephew should stay here tonight. Your return journey has been delayed, so this hour or so won't matter..."
Su Ning'an stood up and said, "Xiaojiu, my father agreed to sleep with you tonight. Let's go. The two of us brothers will take a nap with you now."
"Let's go." Shangguan Jinnian left his nephew behind and followed the two Su brothers into the east wing.
Shangguan Yunxiao: ...
Xiao Lingyu left the yard to the brothers Su Xingyi and Shangguan Yunxiao, and took Xiao Xier back to the room with ten silver bills in his pocket.
After coaxing Xiao Xi'er to sleep, he took out an empty box from the bedside table, put two silver notes worth one thousand taels in it, and went to the study...
After Su Xingyi settled Shangguan Yunxiao in the side room of the east wing to rest, he returned to the main room.
"Mom, it's time to go to bed."
Xiao Xier subconsciously held the big hand covering her forehead, mumbled in her sleep, pouted her pink little mouth and fell into a deep sleep.
Su Xingyi covered her with a blanket and went to the study.
In the study, a woman with skin as white as snow and light makeup on was writing at the desk. If you looked closely, you could see her eyebrows moving slightly, as if she was thinking of something happy, and her writing speed increased a little.
Su Xingyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips to create a nice arc when he saw this. Xiaoyu also looked pretty when she was concentrating.
After a while, Xiao Lingyu put down his pen and found Su Xingyi waiting outside the study. "Xingyi, you're here. Why don't you come in?"
"...I just arrived." Su Xingyi strode into the room. "What are you writing?"
"Take a look." Xiao Lingyu handed him the agreement. "I plan to give Jinyu two thousand taels of silver to help him open a milk tea shop in Cangnan County."
Su Xing's opinion agreement stated that there would be no more dividends after five years. He quickly calculated in his head that after five years, not only would he get back two thousand taels, but he would also get a lot of dividends, which was equivalent to making money.
"If I give him two thousand taels first for circulation, after five years, not only will I get the two thousand taels back, but I'll also earn a lot of dividends?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and nodded: "That's right."
The eldest prince's mansion was ransacked, and all the silver in public must have been confiscated. The silver and money he kept privately should not be much. In short, his wallet was seriously shrunk.
How was he? She could have cared less.
However, all that came to his mind were the scenes of the original owner and him interacting in daily life.
She was reborn in the original owner's body, so she had to take care of it.
You can't give him money directly, so you can only give him money in this way, which saves face for both parties.
"After nap, we'll take it to him together."
"good."
Xiao Lingyu put away the banknotes and the agreement, took Su Xingyi's arm, and walked out of the study. "Let's go, let's take a nap. We have to go to the flower garden to buy flowers this afternoon. Xiaojiu and the others will leave tomorrow, so we need to make the fragrant dew."
Su Xingyi lowered his eyes to glance at the soft hand on his arm, and saw Xiao Lingyu pulling him towards the bedroom.
Su Xingyi blushed immediately, and his heart was beating wildly.
Is it too fast?
I'm about to lie down on a big bed for a nap!
He's not ready yet!
Arriving at the bedroom door, Xiao Lingyu let go of Su Xingyi's arm and faced him. Seeing that his face was flushed, he didn't take it too seriously and instructed, "Don't let me oversleep. Remember to wake me up."
Su Xingyi nodded, "Okay, I'll wake you up." No way, I want you to sleep until you wake up naturally. "Let's rest."
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said "Good afternoon" before entering the room and closing the door casually.
Su Xingyi looked at the closed door with a trace of shame on his face. He actually misunderstood.
Alas, he was overthinking it.
Don't worry, that day will come.
Yi in the north and Yushu County in the south.
"Is the shopkeeper here?"
A man in his thirties who looked like a businessman walked into a perfume shop.
A clerk yawned as he emerged from the cashier's counter. "Sir, our boss is not here. Please tell me what kind of perfume you would like."
The man first glanced around the shop before saying, "I heard you sell a scented lotion that's like water. Just a little bit of it will leave you with fragrance all day long."
The waiter's sleepiness disappeared after hearing this. "Yes, yes, yes, the fragrant dew is very popular among the ladies. Now there is only one bottle left. If you are interested in buying it, I can get it for you."
The man pulled out a few ounces of silver from his pocket and said, "To be honest, I run a silver jewelry shop in neighboring Liu County, but my business isn't as good as my competitors. Now that I know about this rare item called fragrant dew, I want to buy some to put in my shop to attract customers. I'd like to ask you about the supplier of the dew. Where can I find him?"
The guy said, "I'm really sorry, I can't help you. The supplier of the perfumed lotion sent it to us on his own initiative, and we don't know where to find him."
The man took out another five taels of silver and asked, "How often does the supplier of this fragrant dew deliver goods?"
The clerk looked at the silver in front of him, and there was no reason to be stingy with it. He put the silver in his arms and said, "Fragrant dew is rare and the quantity is small. Usually they deliver it to us once every seven days or half a month. We can't buy more, and they have to go to other counties to deliver the goods."
The man continued, "How long will it take for the next delivery?"
"There are still seven days left. If they don't come after seven days, you'll have to wait another seven days. You can come at 3 p.m. seven days later. They usually deliver goods at this time."
After leaving the perfume shop, the man went to a private room in a teahouse. A middle-aged man in white clothes sat in front of the tea table with his eyes closed.
"You're back, how's it going?"
"Your Excellency, the explanation given by the shop assistants here is the same as that given by the shop assistants in other counties, except that this shop only delivers at 3 p.m."
Tai Zhuo's lips curled up, "That's interesting. Tell them to find out the arrival time of all the incense shops. I want to find the incense shop with the earliest arrival time."
"yes."
After the man left, Tai Zhuo wrote down on a piece of paper the time when the fragrant dew would be delivered to Yushu County.
If his inference was correct, the earlier the goods arrived, the closer the perfume maker was to the perfume shop.

"My Lord, you're awake."
Feng Jinyu glanced at the yard and asked, "Xu Mo, has Shangguan Yunxiao left?"
Xu Mo shook his head. "No, they are staying in the east wing. They will have dinner with the Su family tonight. The uncle and nephew will leave early tomorrow morning."
Feng Jinyu frowned, "They just left like that without saying anything else?"
"The uncle and nephew also wanted to invite the princess to their house to make a huge birthday cake, but the princess refused on the grounds that she was busy."
