The exam is next month, and many students in Beijing have been studying so hard that they forget to eat and sleep, hoping to pass the exam successfully.
Ye Jingyan himself was not actually nervous, but the atmosphere in the Imperial College was very tense every day, and it was difficult for him to have some peace and quiet.
Hearing Ye Chutang say this, he felt a little amused.
"If this continues, why not just let Xiaowu take the exam."
Xiaowu, who was chewing on a lotus seed cake, snorted when he heard this.
"I, I'm not going... I can't leave the store without someone..."
Xiaowu is not interested in fame and fortune.
But Xiaowu will never forget to make money.
Ye Chutang spread his hands.
"If we talk about going to Wazhen, Xiaowu might be more willing."
Xiaowu immediately nodded vigorously in agreement.
With the opening of trade between Wazhen and Northern Xinjiang, many people are eager to join in, and Xiaowu is no exception.
"I've already selected the people from the tea shop and asked them to bring a cart of tea leaves and tea cakes over first. If they sell well, we can expand the business."
Just this one trip, if it succeeds, it will be huge profits.
After the route is opened, it will be more convenient to gradually develop items such as silk.
Ye Jingyan nodded, "It seems that my sister has already thought about it. However, the war over there has just ended, and the journey may not be safe. We still need to ask them to be more careful."
"You're right. We should always be on guard against others." Ye Chutang's lips curled slightly. "So I told them to go to Shiluan City first, rest there, and then continue north along the way to the northern border."
Ye Jingyan realized something, "Sister is saying..."
"The iron mine in Shiluancheng was closed, and all officials, from top to bottom, were dismissed and completely reshuffled. Many hardworking people in the city are looking for new livelihoods. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely work hard."
As Ye Chutang spoke, he took out a letter from the small drawer and handed it to Ye Jingyan.
"Su Pei'er, oh, I should call her Shopkeeper Su now. She opened a security company and hired quite a few people, so it's just right that she can do this kind of business."
Ye Jingyan's eyes were filled with surprise. "So, sister had planned this all along?"
Shiluan City is located in a fortress and is almost the only way to the northern border. Any business goods going to Wazhen must pass through here.
Selecting people here can not only ensure the safety of the goods on the road to the greatest extent, but even if there is any friction with the other party when they arrive at the destination, these people have plenty of strength and courage and are not afraid of anything.
"Xiaowu has long wanted to expand her business to Wazhen. This is a rare opportunity, so I'll just let her do it."
Ye Chutang's eyes curved.
"It just so happens that Su Pei'er is quick and generous, and a good boss. So, we hit it off perfectly."
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Ye Jingyan knew in his heart that all these "coincidences" were probably inseparable from his elder sister.
However, this really couldn't be better.
"In that case, I can rest assured."
He scratched Xiaowu's nose and said with a smile,
"If this business really takes off, you'll be responsible for it later."
Xiaowu chuckled.
"I want to... make a lot of money and give it to my sister!"
And there are also the third and fourth brothers, she thought secretly in her heart.
In the future, my third brother will go to the court and my fourth brother will return home, and there will be expenses everywhere!
Ye Chutang told Ye Jingyan the news that Princess Qinyang and Xun Cheng had left the capital.
"Princess Qinyang said she plans to set off tomorrow and travel with Xun Cheng and the others so that they can have someone to look after them along the way."
Ye Jingyan was a little surprised. "...Could it be that Princess Qinyang was worried that Master Xun might be in danger on the road, so she came along specially?"
"It's possible." Ye Chutang thought for a moment, "She doesn't seem to know that Xun Cheng's leg has healed yet. She plans to send him back to Louyang first, and then go to see King Yannan. She said that Xun Cheng has done a great favor to her and King Yannan, so these are nothing."
Ye Jingyan: “…”
He tried to hold back, but couldn't help but ask, "If Princess Qinyang were to come along, it would actually delay his attack, wouldn't it?"
Ye Chutang said, "Wouldn't it be better to kill fewer people? That way you won't get into trouble again and have to come back to me for treatment."
Ye Jingyan: “…”
Xiao Wu nodded vigorously in agreement and spoke a long string of words fluently, which was rare for him:
"Yes! He drank so much in our bar earlier! If he keeps drinking, we'll be out of money!"
Ye Chutang: “…”
Ye Jingyan: “…”
…
“Cough—cough cough—!”
As soon as we left the city gate, a cool breeze blew and rolled up the curtains of the car.
Xun Cheng started coughing softly.
Who is thinking of him...
Crash——!
Princess Qinyang pulled aside the curtain, looked over, and asked with great concern, "Master Xun, are you feeling unwell again? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Xun Cheng: “…”
He put down his sleeves, and a polite and distant yet courteous smile appeared on his face, which had become more energetic due to coughing. He was very gentle, refined and polite.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm fine. The journey is long, so let's hurry on."
Princess Qinyang was a little unconvinced, "Really?"
Looking at his frail constitution that makes him fall over easily when the wind blows, I'm afraid he'll have to lie down for three days if the wind blows at all.
Although she also wanted to get to the southwest as soon as possible, Xun Cheng's health could not be ignored.
Xun Cheng nodded, "Yes..."
Crash——!
Princess Qinyang jumped off the horse, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.
Long Jiu hesitated to speak: "Hey? Princess——"
"I'd better ride with you!" Princess Qinyang sat down across from Xun Cheng with a quick and decisive move, holding a whip in one hand, clearly determined to protect him to the end. "If you feel unwell, tell me anytime!"
The moment she flew in, there was a faint and delicate fragrance lingering.
Xun Cheng was dazzled by the touch of red, and when he came to his senses, she was only one step away from him.
The girl's eyes were bright and her expression was determined. Her slender hands tightly grasped the long whip, accumulating strength to defend herself at any time.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to keep you safe all the way!"
Xun Cheng was silent for a moment, then slowly smiled.
"Then... thank you very much, Princess."
…
Crossing the state.
The sun is scorching, but there is no wind or rain.
Feng Cheng tore off the cloth strips stuck to the wound on his calf, and then took out a bottle of medicine powder and sprinkled it on it.
"General, let me help you..." The soldiers on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but speak.
Feng Cheng had already quickly changed the bandage.
"This medicine really isn't very effective." He frowned in disdain and wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead due to the pain. "It's been so long, and the wound hasn't healed yet."
Another soldier whispered, "General, you haven't rested since you were wounded, you've been walking around all day. The arrow was poisoned... How can you expect to recover?"
When the Southern Hu invaded, the troops were divided into two groups, one to surround and kill Duzhou, and the other to blockade Xicheng.
Feng Cheng realized that something was wrong at that moment. After three days of bloody battle, he finally broke out of the encirclement and led his troops to Duzhou for support.
It's just that those people were so vicious that his wound has been festering for so long.
Feng Cheng snorted, "What's that? Any of the medicines that Afeng brought with him can be used to cure the disease—"
His voice stopped abruptly.
Everyone fell silent when they heard that name. (End of this chapter)
