Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 arrived at Yunzhou

Lu Chen said to Lin Mo, “The Lu family has many secrets. Moreover, I feel that Yue Zhan is a person that can be used.” Lin Mo frowned slightly. Lu Chen said indifferently, “After all, he and imperial sister did not get close to women after the divorce. He was completely devoted to imperial sister. As for you, you have already compromised with the family and talked about marriage. Speaking of which, Yue Zhan is more reliable.” Lin Mo:”…” After Qiao Jinniang woke up the next day, she talked about buying sheep with the Longxi Prefect’s wife and signed an exclusive contract to buy sheep and grass. The prefect’s wife was grinning from ear to ear. She thought that the crown princess consort would use her power to continuously lower the price, but Qiao Jinniang had bought the right to sell the sheep in her family in the future, and her offer was extremely generous. Each sheep actually gave a much higher price than the local sheep meat. Hong Ling asked Qiao Jinniang, puzzled, “Your Highness, isn’t the price you gave the prefect’s wife a little too high? You asked us to inquire about the price of the sheep meat here yesterday, but it is far from this high.” Qiao jinniang said, “That’s because the people of Luoyang in Chang ‘an don’t know the delicious mutton here. If the major restaurants knew the origin of the mutton, they might come here to buy it, and then the price of the mutton would definitely rise. “But those small restaurants probably won’t send people to Longxi specifically to buy the mutton. After I ship the mutton back to Chang ‘an in Luoyang, I will sell it for twice the amount of silver. Those restaurants might buy it.” Qiao Jinniang had heard from her parents since she was young that doing business in harmony made money. Merchants were not despicable at the beginning. There was no such thing as a profiteer. The original meaning was that when the rice chamber of Commerce sold rice, they would add more rice to their customers like a small hill. It was originally a saying of merchants doing business in good faith. It was only because of the pursuit of profit that many merchants gradually became treacherous and ruined the reputation of the merchants. Qiao Jinniang wanted to earn money, but she wouldn’t earn money that was unconscionable. Just as the prefect left, Old Madam Yue came. When Old Madam Yue came, she was still muttering something about asking the crown princess consort to bestow a marriage. When she entered the hall and the door closed, old madam Yue knelt in front of Qiao jinniang and said, “Crown Princess consort, I have something important to report.” Qiao Jinniang asked, “What?” Old Madam Yue then recounted the incident yesterday when Zhou Siming came to look for her son, “Our Yue family is loyal to his majesty. In order to let the person behind Zhou Siming Slip, my son pretended to befriend Zhou Siming. I hope that the crown princess consort can understand.” Zhou siming walked on the path of rebellion, and Qiao Jinniang could only sigh deeply. The person behind him should be King Huai. Qiao Jinniang said to old madam Yue, “The Yue family’s sincerity, I understand. I will tell the crown prince to be more careful. I just hope that envoy Yue Jiedu can feign civility with them to gather evidence.” “Yes.” Qiao Jinniang did not know how to tell Lu Chen about this. If glutinous rice, who grew up together with her, betrayed her, she would not be able to recover easily. Moreover, Lu Chen and Zhou Siming were cousins who were connected by blood. Qiao Jinniang thought that she could only treat Lu Chen better. She even personally cooked a sumptuous feast for Lu Chen at night. Lu Chen looked at the table full of dishes that looked like Qiao Jin’s cooking skills and asked, “What Day Is it today?” Lu Chen could not remember what day it was. Qiao Jin could actually cook such a sumptuous meal for him. Qiao Jin scooped a bowl of radish and mutton soup and gave it to Lu Chen. “It’s not a day. I specially made it for you. Xi’er has been waiting for a long time. You should try it.” Little Lu XI nodded and said, “Daddy, hurry up and eat.” Qiao Jinniang was really too gentle with herself today. Although it was just a normal way for a husband and wife to treat each other with respect and respect, it was just a normal way for a wife to take care of her husband. Lu Chen, on the other hand, felt terrified. “Jinniang, did you do something wrong?” Qiao jinniang said, “I pampered you and treated you a little better, but you think I did something wrong?” After Qiao Jinniang made all the palace maids and maids leave, she said to Lu Chen, “Old madam Yue came to look for me today. She said that Zhou Siming found Yue Zhan and wanted to persuade him to rebel.” “After all, we are good brothers who grew up together. I was afraid that you would be disappointed, so I specially prepared a table full of dishes for you.” Lu Chen wanted to say that it was within his expectations. As the crown prince, he had understood one thing since he was young. At his position, there was no so-called brotherhood. When he was young, the friendship was sincere, but when he grew up, each of them had their own helplessness. Lu Chen had a clear conscience towards Zhou Siming. And Zhou Siming had made an enemy out of him for Zhou Sisi, so Lu Chen was not disappointed. However, it would be great if the disappointment could be treated kindly by Lady Qiao. “It is indeed a disappointment. Zhou Siming actually had the intention to rebel.” Qiao Jinniang listened to Lu Chen’s calm tone and handed the fish ball to Lu Xi. “Did you already know that Zhou Siming was going to rebel?” Lu Chen said truthfully, “Zhou Siming would do anything for Zhou Sisi. In his eyes, nothing is more important than his sister. Zhou Sisi is about to be executed, so I’m not surprised that he would choose to rebel.” Lu Chen told Qiao Jinniang about King Huai and Zhou Siming’s plans. Qiao jinniang said, “Even if Yue Zhan will stand on our side, wouldn’t going to Xiliang put us in a dangerous situation?” Since Xiliang had already made a deal with King Huai, would Lu Chen still have a chance to survive if he went to Xiliang with her? “Why would father send you to Xiliang at this moment?” Lu Chen said, “Father must have a deeper meaning behind his actions.” Qiao jinniang asked, “Aren’t you afraid that your father is afraid of you and wants to take your life through the hands of King Huai and West Liang?”? After all, the most common person in the book was an emperor in his prime. Seeing that his crown prince was becoming more and more outstanding, he couldn’t let go of the power in his hands and wanted to take his son’s life Lu Chen nodded Qiao Jin’s head. “Don’t read those nonsense books. Do you think I will hurt Xi’er in the future?” Qiao Jin shook her head. “Isn’t that right? Father would never do anything to hurt me.” As for why father sent his son to Western Liang at this juncture, Lu Chen still didn’t understand. He thought he was simply avoiding the empress dowager’s harm. After learning about the letter from King Huai and the northern desert, Lu Chen felt that this matter was not simple. .. After staying in Longxi for ten days, Lu Chen and his group set off on their journey to the southwest. As they got closer and closer to Yunzhou, the weather on the road became hotter and hotter. In this late autumn, the girls here were still wearing thin clothes. Some of the girls’clothes were actually revealing their arms and legs, and some even revealed their belly buttons. Qiao Jinniang looked outside and said, “I think we’ve arrived at Yunzhou.” As soon as they arrived at Yunzhou, Qiao Jinniang saw the family of the governor of Yunzhou standing at the city gate to welcome them. The leading young woman was slightly plump, and she was holding an infant in her arms. Qiao Jinniang recognized her at a glance. She should be her third sister whom she had never met before, Qiao Ruoyin of the second branch of the Qiao family.
