Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Qin Juan glanced over with murderous eyes.

Gong Xiran flinched, what, how did he offend this one?Didn't he just say a few words?

Qin Juan asked: "Did Zhao Huaizhi have any news for you these days?"

Gong Xiran: "He came to see me five days ago, what news did you ask him?"

Qin Juan was startled, he thought that something happened to Zhao Huaizhi, so Zhao Huaizhi had just been to Bancheng, so he should still be near Bancheng now.

Jiu Tan hasn't come back yet, could it be...Zhao Huaizhi and Jiu Tan are "hanging out" together?

With a "click", Qin Juan broke a branch.

"?" Gong Xiran growled, "Why are you tearing off my osmanthus tree! Do you know how much painstaking effort it took me to keep this osmanthus tree alive!"

Gong Xiran screamed in pain.

Qin Juan came back to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry..."

"You child! I'm so mad!" Gong Xiran said that he was not, let alone beating him, and he walked around anxiously, wishing he could call the gardener to give his osmanthus "pulse check" at this moment.

Qin Juan had a headache, apologized a few times, and lowered his head like a child.

After Gong Xiran connected the broken osmanthus twig, he turned around and saw Qin Juan with his head bowed and his ears red... It was amused and distressed at the same time, and he finally understood why this person could make Huaizhi fall in love with him. up...

He can roughly guess this person's temperament, it looks cold and unkind, it seems arrogant and stubborn, but in fact this child is delicate and clear in mind, kind and gentle.

Such people are often kind in their bones, but they use ruthlessness as a disguise...

No wonder Qin Juan showed such indifference towards him at first,

If he has a beloved wife in his heart, he would want to get close to this person, let alone Huaizhi, who is like a blank sheet of paper...

If Qin Juan knew that Gong Xiran thought Zhao Huaizhi was a blank slate, he would probably laugh out loud.

Zhao Huaizhi began to specialize in the study of erotic palace albums when he was a teenager, with a lot of sweet words, and he never considered his age when speaking in front of him...

Gong Xiran told Qin Juan that Zhao Huaizhi entered Bancheng five days ago to ask him to borrow money.

Naturally, Gong Xiran only told Qin Juan what he and Zhao Huaizhi wanted Qin Juan to know, and he didn't say anything else.

"It's very late too, I'll ask my servant to take you to rest." Gong Xiran said after glancing at the position of the moon.

The next day, Gong Xiran asked his book boy to take Qin Juan out for a stroll, because he had something to do.

Qin Juan asked the book boy to take him outside the city

The book boy wondered: "Where are the people under martial law in Bancheng now, son, it's better not to run out of the city. It's very troublesome to be caught by the Mongolian army for questioning."

Qin Juan frowned: "It's not as serious as you said."

The book boy curled his lips and followed on horseback.

Qin Juan inquired about something from the book stall outside the city, but the book boy didn't understand and stood far away.

The old man told him that there were no large convoys or Mongolian merchants selling silk passing by recently.

After inquiring for so long, Qin Juan almost thought that Qi Lin and Qi Lin were really dead...

Qin Juan didn't believe it. Qi Lin and the others had traveled to and from the desert for so many years, and they had encountered sandstorms at least a few times. They should have experience in dealing with them. It's impossible to say that they all died, right?

How many lives should he live so that he has a trace to follow!

Or are the living people neither going to Diermi nor coming to Bancheng?Have they all returned?Is it really necessary to go to Keshi Ha'er to meet Qi Lin's people?

But Zhao Huaizhi baffled Qin Juan again, if Zhao Huaizhi didn't leave Bancheng, he didn't want to leave either.

It's October in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, Qin Juan stayed at the Gong residence, but Zhao Huaizhi did not return to Bancheng, and occasionally a letter would come, but it was just a few nasty poems.

Qin Juan felt that Zhao Huaizhi was getting more and more turbulent, and he knew his heart by watching his words.

Now Zhao Huaizhi's mind is full of glamorous things.

That's why I sent him Hua Jian Ci one by one...

After reading it, I put away the letter paper, and the hot feeling on my face receded little by little...

Gong Xiran and his wife came over and saw Qin Juan sitting in front of the window, looking absent-minded.

Mrs. Gong covered her mouth and asked Gong Xiran with a smile: "Did Mr. Zhao write again?"

Gong Xiran saw that his wife was so excited every time she mentioned Zhao Huaizhi and Qin Juan, which made him very incomprehensible: "I don't understand why my wife is so excited every time she mentions Huaizhi and Qin Juan. You were never so happy when you were stealing fragrance from under the peach blossom tree..."

Before Gong Xiran finished speaking, his wife twisted his ears.

"Madam, spare my life! Madam, spare my life... Take it easy, my ears are about to fall off!"

Gong Xiran's wailing came, and Qin Juan heard the sound and looked over. Qin Juan was used to the daily laughter and cursing of the couple.

It seems that this is the first time he has seen such a "smart" couple... He feels novelty and envy.

"Sister-in-law, take care of your health. Brother Gong, let me teach you a lesson." Qin Juan didn't realize that he had become much more cheerful after spending so long with his husband and wife.

"It's okay, if you don't move your muscles every day, he will feel uncomfortable, and so will I." Mrs. Gong twisted Gong Xiran's ears with one hand, and supported her waist with the other.

Qin Juan: "..." He was worried that Gong Xiran's ear would be twisted off. Looking at the red ear dripping with blood, he felt pain for Gong Xiran...

After a while, Mrs. Gong let go of her hand when she was tired, looked at Qin Juan and brought up the food box: "Remember to eat up the cakes you made early in the morning!"

Mrs. Gong has no other specialties, but she is very good at cooking. She said it is practice and humility.

Qin Juan likes to eat the food made by Mrs. Gong, but Mrs. Gong is pregnant now, so he dare not...

"What are you still doing in a daze? Let me keep holding it?"

After Mrs. Gong said this, Qin Juan immediately took the food box over.

Gong Xiran's face was full of tears... He hadn't eaten anything made by his wife for more than a month, and his wife cooked with a big belly, which made this kid cheap.

To others, Mrs. Gong is not a practice, but to herself, it is a practice. She feels that cooking skills cannot be neglected, so she still cooks even if she is pregnant.

"I won't bother you, let's go back first." Mrs. Gong smiled and led Gong Xiran away.

Gong Xiran dared to come out to find Qin Juan with an excuse after sending Mrs. Gong back.

One is to enjoy the food box with Qin Juan, and the other is to tell Qin Juan something.

Two people sitting on the bed and eating pastry

To be honest, Qin Juan didn't think pastries were delicious in the past, but now he and Gong Xiran competed to finish the first layer of the food box, and then ate the inner layer.

"Why, is it delicious?" Gong Xiran laughed loudly.

Qin Juan was so hungry that he didn't want to speak, so he nodded frantically.

"This is the court cake of the Song Dynasty. In the past, only princes, nobles and ministers could eat it." Gong Xiran said.

Qin Juan fixed his eyes and looked at Gong Xiran suspiciously.

Gong Xiran was calm, as if he wanted to make it clear to Qin Juan: "You are also wondering why my wife cooks so many palace delicacies."

Just guessing, he is not stupid, this kind of culinary skills is definitely not an ordinary person, but he feels very contradictory, that woman is obviously very noble, and she should not be a female cook, he even guessed whether it is A class of Shanggong in the palace.

"She was originally a clan girl, clan girl, do you understand?" Because Huaizhi said that Qin Juan grew up in a Mongolian army camp, so Gong Xiran was worried that Qin Juan would not understand this.

Qin Juan nodded and shook his head again, and asked, "Is it Diji?" No way... so powerful, isn't that the same surname as Zhao Huaizhi, and why did the princess marry so far away?Does the emperor not care?

"I know you don't understand, the clan girls are not necessarily the princesses and the queen mother's nieces..." Gong Xiran explained, "You can understand it this way, my wife is the clan girls. "

"..." Qin Juan waited for a long time but didn't hear him continue, so he looked at him.

Gong Xiran even finished eating the remaining cakes, and then said: "I have known her since childhood, and I have made a private decision with her since the year I entered the imperial school. She will not marry unless I am, and I will not marry unless I am her, but..."

"It happened so suddenly. She lost her father in her early years, and her grandfather, who was the only one who could protect her, died before Jiji. Maybe the officials took pity on her and appointed her as a female official in the palace."

Qin Juan said inappropriately: "This female official... is also the emperor's woman, right? Aww!"

Qin Juan didn't expect that this man, looking warm and kind, would pick up the food box and hit him on the head.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, be careful when your sister-in-law hits you!" Gong Xiran growled.

Qin Juan: "..." Sister-in-law didn't hit me, but you did.

Besides, didn't they say that all the women in the palace belonged to the emperor... Maybe he heard it... Hey, those nonsense really hurt him.

Gong Xiran put his hands on his hips, but said magically: "You probably don't know that the official married me to her!"

"Of course I don't know!" Qin Juan wailed, but Big Brother Gong is really amazing, to be able to get a marriage gift from the emperor!

"It's nothing, the emperor even made her the county head, and gave her a dowry..." The more Gong Xiran said, the more Qin Juan felt that he was cheating!

Qin Juan listened to what he said, and Gong Xiran had a verbal battle with the emperor for [-] rounds!

Gong Xiran has been "hitting the wall" with Qin Juan, and today he suddenly felt that he was very arrogant, so he kept talking more and more, so that he didn't know whether it was true or not...

"Let me tell you, the largest restaurant in Lin'an Mansion is called Yujinlou. Back then, I spent 5000 taels of silver to invite three adults to dinner in order to settle a big deal with the officials..."

"You are really a character..." The wolf cub trembled when he heard it, he had never seen 5000 taels of silver in his life...

"How many cars does this cost..." Qin Juan muttered.

Gong Xiran laughed loudly: "What are you thinking? Song Guo used Jiaozi, also called bank notes. It's not like the Mongols have to carry horseshoe silver everywhere... I don't want to be too tired to panic."
