After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Do you have to sell it even if you don’t want to sell it?

Liu Yunxiang frowned, and then walked towards the lobby: "There is no reason in the world to lose money in business. You can't be unreasonable just because you are old, right?"

The old Prince Shunping turned to look at Liu Yunxiang and snorted, "How can a grain store as big as yours in Lingyun lose money? It's just making less money."

"I know better than you whether to pay or not."

After Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, he smiled again and said, "Sit down and have a sip of tea first."

Zhang Qi brought refreshments, and Liu Yunxiang poured a cup of tea himself and pushed it in front of the old prince.

The old prince did not sit down, let alone drink the cup of tea. He only glanced outside and said, "The snow is really heavy."

"Yes." Liu Yunxiang said.

"It's so cold."

"Yes."

"The people in Shannian Camp are still hungry and freezing!"

"Yes."

"You!" The old prince looked at Liu Yunxiang, his face darkened, "It's in vain that you are the Princess of Zhenbei, but you only care about making money and don't care about the lives of the people."

Liu Yunxiang sighed quietly: "According to what you said, I shouldn't have accepted your money at all, and these hundred stones of grain should have been given to you for free. No, I should have taken out all the grain in the granary and vacated it. My grain store can just close its doors."

The old prince narrowed his eyes, "You are so arrogant!"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, then straightened his chest and said loudly: "When there was a famine in Shengjing, I, Lingyun, raised hundreds of thousands of grains and sold them to the people without a penny increase to help the court tide over the crisis and save the country. Thousands of people have survived. The Queen Mother recognized my Lingyun’s achievements and specially gave this plaque in front of the door. Nanzhou was rioted, the people were displaced and starved to death. The court had no food, so I, Lingyun, raised another hundred thousand shi of food and donated it to Nanzhou. People. Not long ago, there was a food shortage in Shengjing. I, Lingyun, mobilized tens of thousands of shi of food back to Beijing, which averted a panic and gave the people peace of mind. There was a fire in Shan Nian Camp, and I donated [-] shi early the next morning. Food, let them eat first. What I, Lingyun, and I, Liu Yunxiang, have done is worthy of the great glory of the people. As for your kindness and wanting to help the people of Shannian Camp, the court should think of you well, Shannian Camp The people should think of you well, but we, Lingyun, cannot think of you, let alone be held responsible by you, so we will not do this unprofitable business!"

After hearing these words, the old prince's face turned green and red.

Indeed, compared with Liu Yunxiang's donation of tens of thousands of shi of food, his one hundred shi was too little. She, a woman, had such courage, but he, the prince, did not.

"Anyway." The old prince sat down on the chair and drank the tea that Liu Yunxiang had poured before. "You must sell me these hundred stones of grain."

"150 yuan according to the market price."

"At this price, I won't come to your house."

"Zhang Qi, see the guests off!"

The old prince slapped the table, "You must sell me!"

Liu Yunxiang was amused, "Then tell me a reason why I have to sell you this food."

The old prince choked and racked his brains for a long time. Finally he raised his head and said, "What should your Highness call me?"

"what?"

"Can't figure out the seniority?"

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment, "Of course it's my uncle."

"What about you?"

"what?"

"What should you call me?"

Liu Yunxiang's mind changed, and he shouted with a smile: "Uncle."

The old prince stroked his beard and responded with satisfaction, "So if my uncle wants these hundred stones of grain, you won't refuse to give it, right?"

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "During the last palace banquet, who deliberately made things difficult for Yan Mu?"

"Ahem, that's not an embarrassment, it's obvious...it's obvious that my uncle values ​​him!"

Looking at the old man who spoke with a crooked mouth, Liu Yunxiang chuckled.

"Then I really have to thank my uncle."

"No, no need. One family doesn't speak the same language."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "It's just that the whole family has to settle the accounts clearly. One hundred shi of grain may be more or less, and I will have to pay a lot of compensation."

"How many taels of silver are you short of?"

"I'm not bad, but uncle, are you just short of these few taels of silver?"

The old prince pointed to the patch under his gown and said, "Do you think I'm good?"

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched. It was not easy for a dignified King of Qin with a generous salary to live in such misery.

"Since we are doing business, we can only do it if both of us benefit."

"you……"

"It's not about money."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "If the old prince is willing to do me a favor, this business will be easy to negotiate."

After a detailed talk, the old prince's face was dark and gloomy when he left.

"A penny really stumps a heroic man, but I saved a few taels of silver, old man, I feel so embarrassed!"

The old prince said angrily as he walked out.

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and snickered, and then hurriedly told Zhang Qi: "Send the prepared food to the place designated by the old prince quickly. The weight must be sufficient."

Coming out of the grain store, it started to snow again.

The people on the street dispersed in a hurry. Liu Yunxiang liked the snow scene, so he didn't take the carriage. The master and servant held umbrellas and walked along the long street to the palace.

"It's winter again."

The snow fell heavily, piece by piece, covering everything around with silver. Pavilions, terraces, buildings, cornices and brackets, the bustle has dispersed. At this time, Shengjing is unique in its elegance.

When passing an alley, Liu Yunxiang stopped.

She turned around and looked around. There was no one in the alley, but there was a series of footprints on the white snow that led all the way inside.

"Girl, we haven't been back here for a long time." Zi Jin looked forward and said.

There was a house in the alley. They lived there for a long time before leaving Shengjing. It was considered their home in Shengjing.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, then turned and walked inside.

There are three houses in this alley, the outermost is the home of Xingyi's biological parents, the middle is her house, and the innermost is Lu Changan's house. It's not a high-end courtyard, just a very ordinary farmyard.

Liu Yunxiang walked along the footprints and passed the outermost house. The door was locked and the door lock was rusty. It seemed that no one was living there. Further inside was her house, and the door was also locked.

No wonder no one can be seen in this alley, and there is only one footprint. It turns out that no one lives here.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the series of footprints again and followed them forward. She thought of something and continued to follow the footprints. When she reached Lu Changan's house, the footprints turned around and walked towards the door.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was back?

Thinking of this, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly turned around and looked at the door lock. The door was locked, and there was snow on the lock. It was obvious that no one was inside. Looking at the footprints again, although he stopped in front of the door, he turned and walked further into the alley.

Maybe he glanced in out of curiosity as he was passing by.

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and smiled, then turned and walked outside.

"Girl, this yard is clean. When will we come back and stay for a few days?" Zijin glanced at the house with some reluctance.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "We will come back when we can no longer live in the palace."

"Ha, then there's no time."

"I can't say for sure."

The master and servant said this and walked out. At this time, a man wearing a royal blue brocade robe walked out from the corner of the alley inside, with gentle eyes.
