On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu was speechless when the abbot asked about the price.

Shen Huai secretly smiled confidently, what came first, was actually just wanting to sell it at a high price.

Businessmen attach great importance to profits. This has been true since ancient times, without exception.

Yan Ruyu saw his expression in her eyes and waited calmly for his quotation.

The warehouses of the City Protector's Mansion are all empty. The Shen family has been here for generations and has been accumulating family property, not just in the warehouses.

He must have other family property. If he uses ordinary methods, he will not take it out, but with Huo Changhe, it is possible.

Sure enough, Shen Huaixin muttered: "He gave you the market price, and I will also give you the market price. How about that?"

Before the abbot could say anything, the grain inspector took over and said: "Your Majesty is willing to give you this price, which is considered benevolent and righteous. Your Majesty protects the border. As businessmen, shouldn't you all contribute some?"

The abbot originally wanted to say a few nice words, but when he heard what he said, he immediately snorted coldly.

"As you said, do we businessmen make too little contribution? The taxes we should pay and the customs clearance fees are all underpaid. Isn't that money money? We are businessmen, but we are not lying around waiting for money to fall from the sky. .”

"We earned our money penny by penny. From outside the customs to inside the customs, and then to the Central Plains to the capital, it was a long road with thousands of rivers and mountains. Along the way, we had to guard against disasters, weather, and bandits. People eat horses and feed them. Loss and consumption, what is not money?”

"Let's just say that my niece-in-law is working to death! This is really hard-earned money." The abbot wiped his eyes, "If my niece-in-law hadn't died, my miserable niece would have rushed back to mourn. Can we just sell the grain here? Our batch of grain is intended to go out of the customs and be sold outside the customs."

"The weather outside the customs is bad this year. They are short of food. Food can be sold at sky-high prices!"

This is indeed a fact. Huo Changhe told Yan Ruyu.

Shen Huaixin naturally knew that as soon as his eyes glanced at Yan Ruyu, had this woman turned out to be a widow?

While hesitating, Yan Ruyu suddenly smelled a scent, which was made of fine spices.

She didn't move or look back, she only heard the soft footsteps and the sound of delicate fabric passing over the threshold.

"Sir, are you tired? Let's have some snacks!" The woman's voice was like a spring, with a crisp tinkling sound and every word was melodious.

Yan Ruyu looked through the gauze at the woman walking towards Shen Huaixin.

At the age of twenty, she has an outstanding figure. Just looking at her back, she is a beauty.

The weather was cold, so she was still wearing thin clothes, which fit her perfectly. The embroidered shoes under her skirt were also soft and thin-soled, with a thumb-sized pearl hanging from the tip of the shoe.

When Shen Huaixin saw her, he smiled in his eyes and took the tray in her hand.

"It's so cold, why did you come here in person? Didn't you say I would go see you after I finished my work?"

The woman smiled slightly and turned her face sideways. Yan Ruyu could clearly see her porcelain white skin, tall nose, and lips as full as petals, with a natural blush.

There is also a small red mole on the snow-white chin, which is like a little red in the snow. Needless to say, it is beautiful, and it also adds a bit of charm.

From what Shen Huaixin said, his relationship with this woman was extraordinary.

"It's not cold. It's only a few steps away. I thought it would be delicious if it was freshly cooked. By the time the adults are done with their work, it will be cold enough."

She picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Shen Huaixin.

Shen Huaixin took it, took a bite, and nodded in praise.

The woman turned around and seemed to see Yan Ruyu and the abbot: "These two are..."

"For merchants who are engaged in grain business, I will discuss grain prices with them."

The woman nodded: "Have we discussed it yet?"

Shen Huaixin chuckled: "Not yet."

"In that case, it's better to let the guests take a rest first and let them think about it, so as not to make others think that you are using official power to pressure others."

Shen Huaixin raised his eyebrows slightly: "That's right, okay."

He waved his hand and signaled to the grain supervisor: "Go and do your work. You don't have to worry about the rest."

The grain supervisor was relieved, relieved, and quickly resigned.

The woman glanced at the abbot and nodded slightly to Yan Ruyu: "You two, please take a rest."

Shen Huaixin said nothing and let the woman make the decision. Two maids came in from outside.

"You two, please come this way."

The abbot was panicked for a moment and looked at Yan Ruyu subconsciously, but he couldn't see Yan Ruyu's expression now.

Seeing Yan Ruyu following, he could only follow.

After passing through the pavilions and pavilions, we arrived at a courtyard. The maid said, "You two, there are female guests in the courtyard here. The male guests will follow me."

The abbot wondered how that would work, and quickly said: "No need to bother, we will live in the same place."

"No, there is no such rule. Men and women cannot live together. You come with me."

The abbot cursed in his heart, and Yan Ruyu said: "Uncle, we are guests, and guests do as they please."

The abbot had no choice but to follow the other maid. Fortunately, the distance between the two courtyards was not far.

Yan Ruyu followed the maid into the courtyard. The courtyard was exquisitely decorated. Although there were no flowers and plants at this time of the year, and the water in the fish tank in the courtyard had turned to ice, the stone tables, chairs, and shelves of flowers and plants were all set up to create a unique style.

Wherever Yan Ruyu looked, she didn't see anything wrong. When she entered the room, the maid didn't say much. When she got there, she turned on the charcoal fire in the room and then turned around to leave.

Yan Ruyu checked carefully and found that the fragrance was not poisonous, the tea table on the table was fine, the flowers in the vase in the room were fine, and there was no such thing as poison when the two met.

It was a bit puzzling for Yan Ruyu that she was safe and sound.

Just as I was puzzled, the space shook.

She turned her back to the window, sat down and closed her eyes, her consciousness entering the space.

The abbot asked in the space: "Ruyu, how are you?"

"I'm fine, what's going on over there?"

"I'm fine. Just bring me here and they'll leave. This courtyard is extremely quiet and there's no one around. What do you think they're going to do? Are they going to confine us here and not let us out?" "

"It's possible." Yan Ruyu replied.

The abbot's voice immediately rose: "What?! What should we do?"

"Don't worry, their target is our food, not the two of us. If we are temporarily imprisoned, they will always negotiate terms."

Yan Ruyu was calm: "Even if we are held hostage, we still have to negotiate with our people, don't worry."

"Besides, Linlang is still following us. She dropped secret codes all the way. We are not alone."

After hearing what she said, the abbot finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yan Ruyu is well prepared, she will not jump in with a hot head, but must have a complete plan in place.

"How far is your yard from mine?" Yan Ruyu asked.

She entered the courtyard and wondered where the abbot had gone.

The abbot said: "It's not far, there is only a courtyard in the middle. To your left is my courtyard. The courtyard is well arranged. Although it is not the season for enjoying the scenery, the stone tables and chairs in the courtyard are quite nice." Interesting, unique shape, and a flower stand. ”

When Yan Ruyu heard this, her thoughts moved.
