The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

She was lazily lying on her stomach, feeling aggrieved when she thought about what happened last night, and ignored her stepping on people for a while.

The waiter brought two portions of food, lotus seed and red bean soup, and Lu Shi took it and put it in front of her, "Liancheng probably got a lot of things, why don't you go and have a look?"

It was so quiet last night, I wouldn't really believe that I knocked on the wrong door.

Lu Shi made it clear that he didn't say anything, and Chu Ran was happy.

Thinking of the private market, Chu Ran raised her eyebrows: "How do you know that Liancheng went to the private market?"

"You guys are making too much noise." Lu Shi smiled lightly.

Chu Ran was deceived by her again, so she got up to look for clothes to wear. Lu Shi took it and wanted to put it on for her. Chu Ran was used to being served by maidservants on weekdays. arrive."

"If you keep dawdling, the good things will disappear." Lu Shi smiled lightly.

"Don't treat me like fifteen." Chu Ran complained, and when she lowered her head to tie her belt, a pair of hands as white as jade stretched out, put it on her waist, and tied her belt solemnly.

Lu Shi combed her hair in a bun, and the lotus seed and red bean soup was just right for her to drink. After drinking the sweet soup, she ate the chicken.

The chicken that Liancheng sent was whole. There was a small dagger in the food box. Chu Ran used it to cut open the belly of the chicken. It turned out to be full, with fungus and ginseng on it. When you cut it, you could smell a strong aroma.

While cutting open, Chu Ran said: "Lu Xiang returned to the post house, is there a way to deal with Qinghe's matter?"

When Chu Ran asked about the court affairs, Lu Shi would answer. She tasted shredded chicken with a delicate taste, "There is a problem with Qinghe's granary."

Sure enough, there are still loopholes.Chu Ran never thought that there would be a connection with Liu Zhang. Although Qinghe is rich, it is also a piece of hard-to-bite meat. If it is connected to Wujiang, if it is not careful, it will capsize.

She and the prince dared not stretch out their hands, as long as King Heng didn't succeed, the water in Qinghe would still be clear.

After lunch, Chu Ran packed their luggage and went to the lobby to call Liancheng.

Liancheng looked strange, and pulled her: "Why didn't your Highness open the door last night, is there something uncomfortable?"

It's time to ask.Chu Ran smiled and said, "I slept a little early yesterday, so I forgot about it, so I hurried to the posthouse."

She ran away in a hurry, leaving Liancheng puzzled, how could such a big event be forgotten?

When the group returned to the posthouse, Liu Zhang had been waiting there for a long time. The inside and outside of the posthouse had been cleaned, clean and dust-free.Chu Ran was dressed in men's clothes, with red lips and white teeth showing a faint heroism. She was not like an ordinary girl. Liu Zhang guessed her identity after seeing her.

She was the only one beside Lu Xiang, who else would it be if it wasn't Princess Xinping.He brought people to greet him, full of smiles, "Lu Xiang has worked hard all the way, and the post house has been cleaned up, clean and simple."

"Lord Liu is working hard, talk inside." Lu Xiangdao, she and Chu Ran entered the post house.

The post house in Qinghe is larger than ordinary places, the rent is magnificent and elegant, and the houses are densely packed like a chessboard, compact and regulated.

There are a few bamboos in Lu Shi's yard, which match her temperament very well. Liu Zhang knew her preferences before, and they have already made arrangements here. If it wasn't for the shipwreck, Lu Xiang would have arrived in Qinghe long ago.

As soon as Chu Ran entered the hall, the maid came over with a food box, and Liu Zhang recommended with a smile: "This is a special snack in Qinghe, Your Highness, you should try it."

No matter how old Princess Xinyang is, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old. At a flowery age, she likes to eat jewelry. Liu Zhang thinks that the arrangement is good, but Lu Shi doesn't let Chu Ran eat outside food at will.

She looked at all kinds of snacks, red, pink, and yellow. She wanted to eat them as soon as she blinked her eyes, but Lu Shi said: "Master Liu has worked hard, why don't you go to the government office and explain it in detail."

While speaking, he glanced at Chu Ran, and Chu Ran withdrew his gaze embarrassingly, and said, "Come back earlier, Prime Minister Lu."

The two settled down with one word and one word. Liu Zhang was prepared and did not expect it to be so soon, so he dared not refuse, so he could only lead her to the office.

After the mighty group of people left, Liancheng took Chu Ran to a remote place in the post house.The yard was old, and there were many people standing inside. When passing by, someone opened the door immediately, and at a glance, there were seven or eight boxes inside.

Liancheng opened one at random, took out a red velvet cloth bag, and handed the pearls inside to Chu Ran: "These are all good goods. I only got a small half of what I got here last night, and Liu Zhang got a lot from them. It's about the private market." He himself was uneasy when I found out. Who wants to leave Qinghe, a fat place like this, and I know that Liu Zhang is Zhou Wenyi's disciple, so I'm afraid he gave the Zhou family a lot of good things."

When he came, the prince gave him a lot of details, not to conflict with Liu Zhang unless it was absolutely necessary, and avoid opening a new path for King Heng.

Chu Ran said: "There are many roads in Qinghe. You can't rely on your salary to support your family's affairs. One day it will eventually be empty. You can find someone to contact merchants in several places and see if you can open up the door here. The city of Yingdu is under your majesty's eyelids." I'm afraid it's too close, it won't work in the northwest, it's not as fast as Qinghe."

Beijing officials are poorer than foreign officials, and Qinghe is the place with the most oil and water.

The Huo family was able to walk, so she also wanted to try it. King Heng was spending money like water, and the prince lost his financial support after all, and even the family's private soldiers needed money to support them.

Liancheng's mind was quick, and he found that almost everyone here is doing business after walking in Qinghe for the past few days.

No matter how upright and honest Liu Zhang was, he earned more than other officials, so he immediately agreed, "I understand, let someone do it right away."

Chu Ran asked people to continue guarding, and went to the yard to pack things by himself. Remembering that the two of them did not have suitable clothes, he ordered people to buy them.

It was the people from the post house who called, and it didn't take long for someone to report that Mrs. Cao, the governor's wife, had come.

Fish take the bait fast.When Chu Ran met Mrs. Cao, she came with a courtesy, and the maid handed it to Chu Ran diligently, and stepped aside with a smile.

Liu Zhang looked weak and elegant, but his wife was heroic, and her satin clothes were soft and luxurious.Chu Ran felt that the governor of Qinghe was a local emperor, and his wife was so imposing. The hairpin on the bun looked simple, but the workmanship was exquisite, and it was obvious at a glance that it was made by Wujiang craftsmen.

Mrs. Cao sent a pair of warm jade in the brocade box, which was carefully polished and the tentacles were hot. When Chu Ran saw it, she immediately thought that Lu Yi's body was cold, but it could be suitable for her.

After sending Nuanyu, Mrs. Cao felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "There is a lot of food here in Qinghe, and there are all kinds of food from all over the world. I made some when I came here. Your Highness, try it."

With the person right in front of her, Chu Ran was not afraid of the poison in the food, so she took a piece of rose cake and bit it lightly. The nectar taste is strong, and the faint milk fragrance is also suitable. She ate the whole thing before boasting: "Madam Cao It’s really ingenious, teach me another day.”

"Your Highness wants to eat, so if you tell me, you don't need to do it yourself." Mrs. Cao fawned. She originally thought that Prime Minister Lu was not easy to get along with, so she had no choice but Princess Xinping was easy to talk to.

The people who came to the door all brought their own thoughts, Chu Ran didn't care, the people in the palace were better at acting than Mrs. Cao, and she sighed deliberately after eating snacks: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened last night."

Chu Ran was startled, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Someone opened a private market in Qinghe, but no one in the yamen knew about it. They went to arrest him last night and made a fuss all night. When I came back in the morning, I met Little General Lian."

"This Liancheng hasn't told me yet, but the private market has caught someone?" Chu Ran was surprised.

Princess Xinping didn't know about this, so Mrs. Cao didn't know what to say, hesitated, and finally said: "The few people caught are all out for business."

"It's fine, it doesn't matter." Chu Ran said, she looked at Mrs. Cao's red Kodan, looked at her fingers, and tried it later.

Mrs. Cao just wanted to test her mind. Chu Ran naturally understood that if she didn't talk about it, let her figure it out by herself. It's easy to guess Lu Xiang's mind.

The business people went out quickly, and after buying the ready-made clothes, they sent them over. Mrs. Cao took the opportunity to send over a dozen horses of good materials, along with high-quality leather goods.

Chu Ran took it, estimated the price, and paid it back with money later.

When Mrs. Cao refused, Chu Ran refused to accept, and finally agreed when she had no other choice.

After sending Mrs. Cao away, a few more ladies came in half an hour, and the gifts they sent were not bad, so it can be seen that they are indeed very rich.

Her favorite is Nuanyu, and the rest were put away. When Lu Shi came back, he showed the jade to her: "This is suitable for you."

Lu Shi came back early, but he went to get to know the important officials of Qinghe. After staying for a few days, he still needs to go to the warship. If His Majesty doesn't send someone over, she will be overwhelmed.

The jade in Chu Ran's hand was crystal clear and delicate in texture, and she felt a burst of warmth when she took it: "I was warmed by you."

"This is warm jade, you wear it." Chu Ran corrected her.

"Who sent it here?"

"Liu Zhang's wife, she is better at life than Liu Zhang. When she came here, she cried and complained to me. She said that the matter of the private market cannot be blamed on Mr. Liu. I think Liu Zhang's stability to this day is mostly due to her, and she is also generous, Nuan Yu It's rare, but it's still a pair. I remember that His Majesty has a pair of warm jade chess pieces, and others can't see them."

Chu Ran's words meant that Qinghe was indeed a treasure land. She hung the warm jade around Lu Shi's waist, shook her hand, and said with satisfaction: "My vision is still good."

self boasting.Lu Shi patted her on the head and reminded: "I took it out in a fair manner, what does Liu Zhang think, others will gossip if they know about it."

"That's right." Chu Ran clutched his head belatedly, "I just think of your cold body, wearing this to nourish your body, but forgetting those bad things, it's not as good as these, wear it after returning to the capital city of Ying, I will take it away stand up."

After saying that, You untied it from Lu Shi's waist, put it in the box as usual, raised his head and said, "When will the people from the imperial court come over?"

"When there are still a few days left, how about taking you out for a stroll if you have nothing to do these few days?" Lu Shi touched her hand, not wanting to be taken back by her.

Chu Ran remembered what happened during the day, and said: "I will also dye my nails tomorrow, okay?"

"You can't stand your temper. You have to dye your nails three or four times, and wrap them in a cloth for half a day without moving. Can you bear it?" Lu Shi laughed, and was happy to see her change.

Chu Ran thinks about it too, "I have seen Xinyang and the others dyed in the palace, it is quite troublesome, no, are you going to see Liu Zhang tomorrow? If not, we will try."

She was very interested, and Lu Shi was not good at pouring cold water on her. He really didn't plan to see Liu Zhang tomorrow, so he left them alone and asked people to find out who His Majesty sent to take over.

After the ship sank, she and Chu Ran survived, and the others did not know if they had such luck.The people who followed the official boat this time were appointed by His Majesty, and most of his people were buried at the bottom of the river.

Thinking back now, she was a little glad that she didn't let her own people follow. After she pondered for a while, Chu Ran asked the maid to prepare dried flowers for dyeing her nails.

After entering the post house, Chu Ran no longer cared about Lu Shi's affairs. Even if the sky fell, he would let Lu Shi stand up and take a good rest.

Qinghe looks like a pool of clean water, but when you get closer, you will find that it is muddy and dirty.Chu Ran has never touched it, only knows the surface, and dare not touch it casually.

With the memories of his previous life, Lu Shi knew a lot about Yu Qinghe, and Liu Zhang was valued by His Majesty, and his thoughts were like Zhou Wenyi, a royalist.

She had contact with Zhou Wenyi, and when she talked with Liu Zhang, she was more or less clear.

In the evening, Lu Shi still talked about what happened during the day, "Liu Zhang is pedantic in his temper, he occupies His Majesty's party, does not favor the prince, nor favors the king of Heng, if he guides well, he does not worry that he will not He will favor the prince. Just look at Zhou Wenyi, he is becoming more and more dissatisfied with King Heng's behavior, filial piety is in his heart, not in his mouth."

The maid sent dried flower petals over. It's not easy to get fresh flowers at this time, so I can only make do with dried flowers. She fiddled with these and said casually: "Liu Zhang's wife is very good at work, and she will probably come tomorrow, how about I'm going to test her out."

She paused, then looked at Lu Shi again: "I know more about things in the backyard than you do."

This is natural. Chu Ran grew up in the harem, and saw more conspiracies and tricks than Lu Shi, and the two have their own merits.

She didn't know which colors looked good, so she pulled Lu Shi to choose: "Let's see, which one would you choose?"

Lu Shi was forced to look, and most of the colors were the same, so she picked one at random: "This one is good."

She was perfunctory, and Chu Ran believed it, and asked the maid to go back to clean up, and said: "It's Lu Xiang's fault if it doesn't look good."

But Lu Shi said: "Your Highness asked the minister to choose, isn't it dyed for the minister to see?"

Chu Ran was stunned: "Who said that Ran showed it to you?"

"Why did Your Highness let me choose?" Lu Shi smiled lightly.

Chu Ran understood what she meant, and it seemed that there was some truth in it, she pondered for a moment before saying: "Lu Xiang has gained weight.

Lu Shi didn't understand what it meant, and waited silently for her to say something.

Chu Ran knew that she couldn't react, so she found it interesting to see her confused expression, raised her eyebrows, and explained to her generously: "Lu Xiang's face has become bigger, but it means he is fat."

Lu Shi: "..."
