From Xunxiang Town, the road going south is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more pedestrians and merchants on the road.Yao'er was also a little tired from playing, but thinking that only her father was driving alone, the sensible little guy forced his eyes wide open, and still stayed with his father.

Seeing the little guy's behavior like this, Zhao You was moved and rubbed the little guy's head pityingly. "If Yao'er is sleepy, go to the car and sleep for a while, let's have a good rest after the journey, shall we?"

"But..." Yao'er wanted to say something but couldn't bear the sleepiness that hit her, so she yawned.

"Yao Ran, take care of Yao'er, cross the bridge ahead and you will be Jiangzhou." Zhao You reined in the carriage, carried Yao'er into the carriage.

Su Yaoran was still thinking about Zhao You, and suddenly felt the carriage stopped, and then saw Zhao You bent down and opened the curtain.Somewhat flusteredly took Yao'er, the little guy yawned, but also smiled sweetly at her.

"Well, okay, why don't you take a break too, you've been driving since you left the house today, and you've been playing around with Yao'er for so long." Su Yaoran carefully put Yao'er on the soft seat on the carriage, Find a small pillow for her to lean on.

"Well, I'm fine, let's go to Jiangzhou first, otherwise we will have to sleep in the open in the mountains when it gets dark." After giving Su Yaoran a reassuring smile, Zhao You put down the curtain, and drove the carriage forward with a whip .

Jiangzhou, as the name suggests, is a city facing the river.In the prosperous place in the middle of the court, where merchants gather most, down the river is the customs.Four to five out of ten of the national treasury comes from Jiangzhou, which is almost half of the treasury's revenue. Therefore, the imperial court is very fond of Jiangzhou, and a customs department is specially set up here to manage Jiangzhou's trade affairs.

And as the largest merchant in the country - the Su family, there is naturally a firm in Jiangzhou.Therefore, in the evening, as soon as Zhao You's carriage entered the city, several well-dressed middle-aged men greeted them.

"Su Changzhi, Jiangzhou director of Suji Commercial Bank, brought all the shopkeepers here to welcome the young lady and uncle." It was an elder in Chu clothes who spoke.

Su Yaoran heard the sound in the car, gently opened some curtains, and saw Zhao You winking.He couldn't help but find it funny, so Boss Su, who was still thinking hard, also showed a bright smile on his face. As the sun was setting, Zhao You couldn't help but look a little crazy.

"Su Changzhi has seen the prince." Seeing the interaction between Su Yaoran and Zhao You, Su Changzhi immediately understood that this is his uncle who is now the King of Chu, and he thought it was the little brother driving the carriage, so he panicked and took the lead to bow down.

"Forget it!" Zhao You pouted, with a displeased expression on his face, this king is so like a driver?

The director of Suji Commercial Bank wanted to say a few polite words or something, but seeing that Zhao was humorous and silent, it seemed that he didn't want to talk to him, and everyone was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Uncle Zhi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still healthy and healthy. When you were young, your niece must ask for advice." Su Yaoran got out of the car with Zhao You's support, stood in front of the leader Su Changzhi, and just relieved Su Changzhi The embarrassment of being ignored.

"Miss, you are joking, Changzhi is old and will soon be useless." Hearing Su Yaoran's words, Su Changzhi laughed loudly.

After helping Su Yao down, Zhao You went back to the carriage again, not looking at Su Yaoran nor the group of businessmen, she didn't know any of these people in front of her, so why bother to say more.Seeing that Zhao You didn't want to deal with these merchants, Su Yaoran smiled and didn't take it seriously, but just sighed in his heart, this is because the status of officials and merchants has changed since ancient times.

While talking, a servant dressed as a servant hurried over, and after whispering a few words in Su Changzhi's ear, Su Changzhi said with a smile: "I received a letter from Miss yesterday saying that I'm going to Jiangzhou today, so it's best for me to wait in Jiangzhou." The restaurant 'Three Courses' held a reception banquet to clean up the uncle and miss."

Hearing that there was something to eat, the expression on the face of a certain prince finally showed.Looking back at Zhao You, seeing the latter nodded, Su Yaoran just agreed.

Going to 'Three Courses', Su Changzhi didn't dare to let Zhao You drive, so he sent a clever young man to take over the driving job.I and the shopkeepers who came with me got into their own sedan chairs, and a group of people went to the 'three dishes' in a mighty manner.

After the whole welcome banquet, Su Changzhi was cautious, as if walking on thin ice, even Su Changzhi, as a director, was like this, not to mention the other shopkeepers.And there is only one reason for all these fears, that is, Prince Chu has always had a bad complexion. Everyone didn't know where they offended Prince Chu, who had never been masked before. Oh~ Forget it, just be careful with him.

It was so easy to end the reception banquet, and sent the three members of King Chu's family to the Su family's mansion here.Su Changzhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing Zhao You holding Yao'er and entering the door first, Su Yaoran bid farewell to Su Changzhi and others one by one, and made an appointment to discuss the accounts together tomorrow before turning around and entering the door.

"What's the matter today? You're so unhappy, Subor and the others offended you." After coaxing Yao'er to sleep, the young couple sat in a garden pavilion to drink and enjoy themselves.Seeing that a certain prince was only interested in drinking, Su Yaoran spoke first.

"My dear concubine, does this king look like a chauffeur driving a carriage?" After hesitating for a long while and drinking another glass of wine, a certain prince finally spoke angrily.

Su Yaoran couldn't help laughing, thinking what's wrong with this person, but it turned out to be this matter, this person is really cute, making people angry and funny, a stern face at a welcome banquet, scared Su Bo and the others thought they were What happened to her.

"You still laugh, is this king so funny?" Following Zhao You's words, a certain princess laughed even more happily.

Seeing Su Yaoran's bright smile like a star, Zhao You, who was still awkward at first, also smirked, which was even worse than Su Yaoran's.Later, it was Su Yaoran who persuaded Zhao You to take a break.

"Doesn't the lord want to explain to my concubine what happened in Xunxiang Town?" Serious topics are the easiest to stop laughing. Zhao You couldn't stop laughing no matter how much he persuaded him, but when Su Yaoran asked him this question, he really stopped laughing. I laughed.

Eyes meeting Su Yaoran's clear eyes, Zhao You didn't know how to speak for a moment.Fueled by Jiu Jin, he wanted to tell the whole story, but reason told Zhao You not to do so.

The garden pavilion, which was still echoing with loud laughter, suddenly became deserted, and the atmosphere became dignified for a while.

Zhao You didn't speak, Su Yaoran didn't speak, the young couple remained in a stalemate, as if whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.

"You know, this king is the youngest child of my father." Finally, Zhao You couldn't stand Su Yaoran's gaze and spoke first, paused, under Su Yaoran's encouraging eyes, Zhao You took a sip of wine and continued:

"The year the queen mother left, I was the fifteenth king, and in the same year, the elder brother of the crown prince was deposed. For a while, the third brother and the fifth brother were fighting for the throne, which made the father very unhappy. Finally, the fifth brother forced the palace. The soldiers came to the rescue, but the fifth brother's trouble aggravated the father's illness. The fourth brother and I wanted to visit the father, but the imperial doctor said that the father could not see the wind and turned us away. Later, the fourth brother came to me and said yes The third brother put the father under house arrest. In a fit of anger, I collected the evidence of the third brother's rebellion and disclosed it to the court. The third brother was beheaded outside the Meridian Gate just like that. Afterwards, news spread that the father was gone. I didn't intend to be the emperor, so the fourth brother became the current emperor."

Su Yaoran knew a little about what Zhao You said. Back then, he followed his father on the way to the south, and when he heard that the former emperor was going, his father watched the report from the dark guard all night in melancholy.

At this time, Zhao You had already drank the wine in the pot, playing with the empty wine glass, a hundred emotions gathered on his face, for a moment Su Yaoran didn't know how to speak, and just waited for her to continue talking.

After a while, Zhao You continued: "Five years ago, after the incident, I asked the fourth brother for the position of an idle prince, and then stayed in the fief. Later, the fourth brother called back to Beijing. On the way back to Beijing, I met Zhangzhou The magistrate’s family was hunted down, it was Yao’er’s family. When Yao’er’s biological mother was giving birth to Yao’er, this king also got two documents that the guards found from Yao’er’s biological father. One is from your Su family’s business partner. The secret security of Prime Minister Wei's contacts, and the other is..."

Zhao You frowned when talking about Su's business, and gave Su Yaoran an indifferent look.Then he paused again.
