Yinyin hurried to pour tea.
As soon as she entered the house, Wen Hui smelled the fragrance of orchids. However, she looked for them but could not find any. So she asked, "Why is there a fragrance of orchids?"
"Orchids have their own fragrance." Xu Jiang invited him to take a seat, then continued, "Since you're an expert, guess what kind it is?"
Wen Hui closed her eyes and observed for a moment, then clapped her hands and said, "But is it Xia Hemei?"
"My God, you can smell it?"
"Although there are hundreds of species of orchids, each with its own fragrance and seasonal bloom, this summer orchid belongs to the summer orchid family and has a rich fragrance. Compared to other orchids, it's quite easy to distinguish." Wen Hui was somewhat pleased with herself, and then asked, "Where is the flower?"
"The flowers are in the corner." Xu Jiang stood up and said, "I'll go get them for you."
Wen Hui stopped him, saying, "No need. Moving it around would disrupt the fragrance and would be detrimental to its beauty. It's actually quite elegant to be able to peek at the flowers through the fragrance."
"What a great way to use the fragrance to peek at the flowers." Xu Jiang couldn't help but praise.
Wen Hui sniffed the orchid's fragrance and sighed, "The room is filled with subtle fragrance. Although the fragrance is not visible, it is everywhere."
It is true that people are like orchids and orchids are like people. This person has already entered the country.
Xu Jiangwen said with a smile: "When the orchid book is completed, it will be in full bloom everywhere."
Wen Hui smiled and sighed, "What a eloquent mouth you have."
Xu Jiang bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Wen Huilang laughed out loud. Yinyin came up with tea just in time. He raised the cup and thanked her, "Thanks to Shopkeeper Xu for helping me. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have finished writing this orchid book. I'm offering you this tea as a token of my gratitude."
"Sir, you are so kind to me." Xu Jiang hurriedly raised his cup and said, "Sir, publishing the orchid book is a boon to orchids, to you, and to the bookstore. It's a trifecta of good things, so why should I thank you?"
"I can't argue with you." Wen Hui laughed, then raised her cup and said, "Drink."
Xu Jiang smiled and accompanied him.
After chatting for a cup of tea, Xu Jiang took out the five-color paper with silver flowers and asked Wen Hui to typeset and determine the length.
"How many sets of orchid books do you plan to publish?"
"Twenty sets will be enough."
"Do you want to buy out the printing plate?"
Wen Hui shook her head. "The printing plates are yours. It's entirely up to you to decide whether to reprint in the future. I only want these twenty sets of silver-flowered five-color paper."
"Then I will only charge you for the paper and ink, not the wages." The profits earned from reprinting this orchid album in the future will far exceed the wages.
"I'll settle my wages. You've already helped me so much, how can I take advantage of you?"
"If you leave the printing plate to me, it will be considered as your wages." Xu Jiang did not wait for him to refuse again and said, "It's settled."
Then she spread the paper in front of him and asked, "How do you think this page should be arranged?"
The topic was changed, and Wen Hui had no choice but to follow her and think about the typesetting, and the issue of wages was just passed over.
By the time Wen Hui left the bookstore, it was almost noon.
A dark cloud suddenly floated over, bringing up a strong wind, and then raindrops as big as beans fell unexpectedly, knocking the pedestrians on the road to run around in panic.
"Liang Mo, quickly take an umbrella to Mr. Wen."
"Hey." Liang Mo hurriedly chased out of the alley with an umbrella.
Xu Jiang stood facing the wind, her clothes fluttering. Yin Yin saw that she seemed to be about to fly away, so she hurried forward to grab her hand and advised: "Sister, it's raining hard outside, let's go inside."
Xu Jiang turned around and smiled at her, "Okay."
————A gentle breeze blew————
After Lou Yunchun arrived in Gaolan, he joined forces with the Hexi Army. He stayed in Gaolan for three days and issued an arrest warrant for Zhao Xiu.
During the arrest process, he picked up the floating corpse thrown by Zhao Xiu. When the bailiff brought the floating corpse to Lou Yunchun, the floating corpse suddenly realized and understood Zhao Xiu's plan.
Zhao Xiu has already hooked up with Lou Yunchun, they are in the same group!
The floating corpse looked at Lou Yunchun's eyes, which were as cold as ice, and felt that his life was over.
After learning that Zhao Xiu had escaped from Gaolan with the Turks, Lou Yunchun bid farewell to the soldiers escorting him from Huining and Wulan Pass and followed the Hexi Army to Liangzhou.
It would only take four or five days to reach Liangzhou by galloping, but Lou Yunchun did not slack off. He wanted to meet up with Hexi Jiedushi Ke Xiong as soon as possible, arrange everything, and then go to meet Zhao Xiu.
We can't really let him lose his life outside the Great Wall.
On the way to Liangzhou, he never encountered any assassins again. As he passed through various counties and prefectures, he occasionally heard news that bandit nests had been wiped out. It turned out that Wei Yinuo's knife was indeed very useful.
The wind and sand outside the Great Wall are devastating, but Lou Yunchun is like a carved sandstone, becoming more and more calm and composed, but the desire in his heart is becoming stronger and stronger.
He wants to go home.
————The unlucky dividing line————
Zhao Xiu and his entourage were chased out of Gaolan and along the border of Liangzhou, heading for the Anxi Protectorate. He brought a token from Lou Yunchun, which granted him protection in the Anxi Protectorate after reaching the Four Towns of Anxi, allowing him to freely enter and exit the Four Towns of Anxi before heading to Beiting.
Lou Yunchun's purpose was clear: he wanted the Hexi and Anxi Protectorates to join forces and seal Guo Yuanzhen off in Beiting. Guo Yuanzhen wanted to break through the blockade, but apart from using force, he could only cooperate with others from within.
The targets of the internal and external collaboration, in addition to the nobles in the capital, were the Turks and Tibetans.
But now his communication with the capital has been cut off, and Tubo is isolated by the Anxi Protectorate. Only the neighboring Turks can break the deadlock.
If Zhao Xiuruo brought the Turks to ask for their cooperation at this time, then the chances of capturing them would be greater.
But this Turkic man is smart, and if you want him to trust you completely, you still have to persuade him a lot.
And this trust is always built on sharing weal and woe, so Zhao Xiu used the excuse of avoiding the officers and soldiers to lead the Turks onto the most difficult path.
At the moment, everyone was forced into an abandoned cave by the sandstorm. The camels were blocking the cave entrance, barely blocking the wind and sand.
"Ptui, pui, pui." Zhao Xiu spat out the sand in his mouth, then found the water bag, took a sip of water and swallowed it along with the sand.
