I was a princess in ancient times

After taking away the remaining money from Yu Heng, Ji Xinxue was not in a hurry to find out who was the culprit who cheated the princess's house of money, and went to see Yu Heng and went nearby to buy meat and vegetable account books without stopping.

He roughly flipped through a few pages of the account book, only looking at the eggs and sheep that were still fresh in his memory.

Five coins per egg, five taels of silver per sheep.

Compared with the prices purchased at the first day banquet in the Princess Mansion, eggs were nearly three times more expensive, and sheep were five times more expensive.

Yu Heng looked at Ji Xinxue's ugly face, and carefully guessed, "Is it expensive?"

Ji Xinxue took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure, "Who did you send to buy?"

The one who was wrong wasn't Yu Heng, but the one who had the audacity to set up a trap for the princess mansion.

Yu Heng immediately replied, "My personal guard and secretary of the Anye County Government."

"Heh." Hearing this, Ji Xinxue complained less about Yu Heng.

For Yu Heng, to think of people who don't need the princess' mansion and go to the Anye county government to borrow someone is already a sign of caring about money.

If the merchants around Anye had already heard about Anye's affairs, seeing Yu Heng's personal guards and Anye's secretary when they went to buy things, it was only the profit-seeking nature of the merchants who deliberately increased the price.

Ji Xinxue can understand that Yu Heng's personal guards and Aye Secretary first use slightly higher prices to buy things that are in short supply to stabilize people's hearts, and the extra money is not worth keeping for him or Yu Heng. Strong sell' notoriety.

The books are full of eggs, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and other things that are in short supply in the security industry. As long as these things are sorted out and released at a suitable price, the continuously increasing prices in the security industry can gradually recover.

As for whether these expensive things were cheated, he had plenty of time to think about it slowly.

Ji Xinxue pondered for a while, and said to Qingyun who was standing in the corner, "Go and call Huo Yu and Lin Weilai."

The top priority is not only to stabilize the hearts of the people, but also to avoid further losses.

While waiting for Huo Yu and Lin Wei to arrive, Ji Xinxue asked Zhang Siyi, who was reconciling accounts, "How much has the daily purchases of the people in Anye been affected?"

Yu Heng, who was always following behind Ji Xinxue, immediately said, "The Princess Mansion just consumes a lot of meat and eggs, which leads to an increase in the price of meat and eggs. The price of vegetables rises with the price of meat and eggs, and the price of food is always stable."

As long as food prices remain stable, there will be no major disturbances.

Even if Yu Heng doesn't care about the price of meat and eggs in the security industry, the price of vegetables will gradually recover in a month when there are more wild vegetables. In the second half of the year, when various livestock are raised, the price of meat and eggs will stabilize again.

Ji Xinxue nodded thoughtfully, and the only complaints she had left towards Yu Heng were gone, instead she felt guilty.

He was so angry about such a trivial matter, when Yu Heng knew his true gender, wouldn't he have to beat him to death to appease his anger?

"Feng Lang?" Ji Xinxue cautiously called out to the person standing beside him with his head down, and suddenly felt sorry for Yu Heng.

Originally, there was only 2 taels of silver he brought on the books of Princess Anye's mansion, but Yu Heng added 10 taels of silver. After spending a total of 8 taels of silver, there was still 4 taels of silver left. A net profit of 2 taels of silver.

Under such circumstances, he actually lost his temper with Yu Heng who kindly offered money, and Yu Heng, who was provoked, followed him dejectedly, losing all his majesty.

Zhang Siyi and others in the room did not dare to look at the poor King Xianglin from the corner of their eyes.

Yu Heng looked up at Ji Xinxue, there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, only a few invisible frustrations.

This made Ji Xinxue suddenly think of the beast raised by Emperor Changping.

As a hunting enthusiast, Emperor Changping was keen to collect all kinds of ferocious beasts, and kept them on the Zhuangzi near the hunting ground. Even after he ascended the throne, Emperor Changping would occasionally visit his pets.

In the first year of Changping, a naive little black bear was born in Zhuangzili. Emperor Changping loved it very much. When lying down on the ground and waiting for Emperor Changping to rub his stomach, the wet eyes were almost exactly the same as Yu Heng's eyes at this time.

Ji Xinxue's heart softened all of a sudden.

"Next time something like this happens, you tell me directly, and I promise I won't lose my temper again."

As long as he is ruthless enough to punish those who deceive Yu Heng, sooner or later he will be able to completely put an end to the evil people's desire to deceive Yu Heng.

Hearing Ji Xinxue's words, Yu Heng's implied nervous expression gradually relaxed, and he assured Ji Xinxue seriously, "Next time I will spend more than ten and then more than 5 taels of silver, I will definitely tell you in advance."

The two only whispered a few words before Huo Yu and Lin Wei arrived.

Ji Xinxue asked Huo Yu to go to the county magistrate of Anye to ask the prices of various meat and eggs sold in the county, and it would be best if he could show the records in black and white.

With Huo Yu's identity as the general of the Jinwu Guard and the same indifference and murderous look around him as Mo Yao, the county magistrate of Anye would not dare to fool Huo Yu casually.

Then Ji Xinxue asked Lin Wei to take Yu Heng's token and go after the guards of Princess Anguo's mansion and the Secretary of Anye who were buying meat and eggs around.

Once you have emergency meat and eggs, you don’t have to pay attention to the merchants who sit on the ground and raise prices. It’s better to go to the village to buy meat and eggs at a normal price or go to a further place to buy them.

Huo Yu only left for half an hour before returning with ten large wooden boxes.

Ji Xinxue scanned the wooden box with cold eyes, and wrote the words 'Anye County Magistrate' on the blank rice paper.

Just now he has asked the people brought from Chang'an, the purchases of Princess Anye's mansion are always in charge of the original servants and housekeepers of Princess Anye's mansion, and they were all servants who served the governor of Yuanzhou.

So on top of the words 'Anye County Magistrate', there are also the words 'Yuanzhou Governor'.

These two people were by no means innocent in setting up a scheme to defraud the princess mansion.

Zhang Siyi flipped through a few account books with quick eyes and hands, and gritted her teeth angrily, "Why is this the account book for last year's tax?"

The tax collectors of the Yu Dynasty mainly collected food. Although the people did not refuse to use cloth, livestock and other things instead of food to pay taxes, almost no people would do so.

In the case of insufficient food, the common people would first exchange cloth and animals for money, and then exchange the money for food to pay taxes, which shows how low the price of the imperial court’s purchase of animals is.

Zhang Siyi suspects that if the Princess Mansion sells the meat and eggs according to the price on the tax books, it will only enrich the pockets of the county magistrate of Anye and a small number of people, and the prices of meat and eggs for the common people will not return to normal, but may even be higher .

Huo Yu's indifferent eyes lingered on Zhang Siyi for a while before turning to Ji Xinxue, "Magistrate Anye took the wrong one?"

As long as Ji Xinxue nodded, he immediately went to let Anye county magistrate know the wrong price.

Ji Xinxue was not in a hurry to deal with magistrate Anye.

From the person in charge of purchasing the princess mansion, to the businessman who can sell the meat and eggs to the princess mansion at a price several times higher than the original price every time, to the governor of Shangzhou who turned a blind eye to this matter and might even contribute to the flames. Ye county magistrate, these people are all grasshoppers on the same rope.

Rushing to deal with magistrate Anye will inevitably disturb other grasshoppers.

He was defrauded of nearly 8 taels of silver at the banquet alone. Yu Heng bought meat and eggs at a high price and then sold them at a low price and lost a lot of silver. He would never act rashly if he was not sure of getting the money doubled. .

Ji Xinxue asked Huo Yu to find the magistrate of Anye just to test out. After hearing that the box was full of Anye's tax books from last year, he sent someone directly to pick up the banquet book of the princess mansion organized by Zhang Siyi himself.

He only looked at the first page of the account book, and made a new list according to half the price of each item of meat and eggs in the account book, and ordered Jin Wuwei to take the list and knock on the door of every household in the city. According to the price on the list, each person can eat at most You don't have to buy two catties of meat and two catties of eggs.

Soldiers from the Daying Camp in the suburbs of Beijing took the list to the villages near Anye and knocked on the door, selling meat and eggs at the same price, only limiting the maximum number of catties that could be purchased, without setting a lower limit.

In this way, although it would be a waste of manpower to sell the meat and eggs at the price after inquiring about the usual prices of Anye's meat and eggs, it would still be a waste of manpower, but it was the fastest way to quell the feast of the princess's mansion and cause meat and eggs. Best way to price exceptions.

At the same time, it can prevent anyone from getting rich with this matter,

Ji Xinxue only hates being scammed by people with ulterior motives, and doesn't mind wasting more money on the common people. Jin Wuwei and Jingjiao Daying first arrived in Shangzhou, and they are idle, so they just took this opportunity to get along with An The people in the industry are familiar with it.

After five days like this, it is still rare to see meat and eggs for sale in the security industry, but the aroma of meat and eggs can be smelled in the streets and alleys.

According to the feedback from the Jinwu Guard and the Beijing Suburb Daying Army, almost all the people bought meat and eggs according to the upper limit set by Ji Xinxue, and some people begged the Jin Wu Guard and the Beijing Suburb Day Camp to wait a bit, and borrow money according to the upper limit Buy enough meat and eggs.

Even the price that the common people flocked to was almost twice as expensive as the price listed in the tax books that Huo Yu brought back from the Anye county magistrate.

Ji Xinxue wanted to let Yu Heng have a long memory, so she specially asked Zhang Siyi to compile an account book that recorded all the losses of the Princess Mansion, and carefully explained to Yu Heng where every money was spent and which money was unnecessary.

After the banquet turmoil was completely over, there was an additional 5000 taels of silver on the books of the Princess Mansion, making a total of 5000 taels of silver.

The 5000 taels included the 2 taels brought by Ji Xinxue from Chang'an, the 10 taels added by Yu Heng, and the 5 taels for meat and eggs.

It was equivalent to 17 taels of silver, and in the end only 5000 taels of silver were left, and a total of 11 taels of silver was spent.

Ji Xinxue sighed deeply, looked sideways at Yu Heng, "Guess how much money we spent?"

A guilty conscience appeared on Yu Heng's face, "5 taels?"

Ji Xinxue shook her head, "Do you know how much money I spent on banquets when I, Aye, celebrated becoming king?"

"10 taels?" Yu Heng made a guess.

"" Ji Xinxue felt that he could no longer talk to Yu Heng.

In the future, we must keep an eye on Yu Heng to find a county concubine who can manage the family, and at least establish a normal consumption concept for Yu Heng's heir, otherwise the family property of Princess An's House for several generations will not be enough to fail!

Ji Xinxue took out two pieces of rock candy from her purse, stuffed one into her mouth, and brought the other to Yu Heng's mouth.

After tasting the rich sweetness, Ji Xinxue's complicated mood calmed down a little. He restrained himself from asking Yu Heng, "If you held a big banquet in Chang'an, how much money would you spend as the upper limit." ' out of curiosity, and said helplessly, "I, Aye, spent a total of 2 taels of silver on the king's banquet."

These include all kinds of jewelry and jade pendants prepared by the palace for King Jia and the female family members in the backyard that can be used as rewards for juniors, as well as rewards for congratulatory people.

Only 1 taels of silver were actually used for purchasing.

Ji Xinxue is willing to increase the budget to 5000 taels, considering that the Princess Mansion will host a banquet for the Jinwu Guard, Daying in the suburbs of Beijing, and the Left Guard of An Guo Princess Mansion who are stationed outside the city.

Yu Heng's eyes widened suddenly, although he didn't speak, but his whole face had 'so cheap' written on it.

Ji Xinxue spread her five fingers to cover Yu Heng's face, and could no longer feel angry with Yu Heng. The helplessness in the corners of her eyes and brows added to the feeling of pampering, as if she was looking at the little fool who had nothing to do, and sighed, "So we spent an extra 9 taels of silver."

It is enough for Emperor Changping to hold 27 palace banquets. If you save money, you may be able to hold [-] banquets.

Yu Heng nodded seriously, "I know I was wrong."

Ji Xinxue raised the corners of her mouth cooperatively, "Yeah."

No, Yu Heng doesn't know.

9 taels of silver is not enough for Yu Heng's annual expenses, and it will not affect Yu Heng's next expenses. How could it make Yu Heng feel 'painful'?

Ji Xinxue didn't expect Yu Heng to really take this matter to heart.

On the second day when the Princess Mansion was completely calm, Yu Heng found out that the person who bought meat and eggs with the Princess Mansion was a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River.

Ji Xinxue wanted to catch all the grasshoppers on a rope, so after he attacked the person in charge of the purchase of the Princess Mansion, he just kicked out all the original servants of the Princess Mansion, and did not try to find out who was behind them from these servants .

Yu Heng also didn't ask the left guard of Princess An's Mansion to investigate this matter, and used people from the fief Princess Mansion.

"Why does An Ye have people from the princess mansion?" Ji Xinxue looked at Yu Heng with surprise.

Shyness appeared on Yu Heng's face, "Mo Changshi sends people to open new shops every year, because your fief is in Shangzhou, so the shops have been opened in Shangzhou for the past two years, not only in Anye, but also in Princess Anguo's mansion. There are also shops in Shangluo and Wuguan."

Ji Xinxue nodded, and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest.

"You've always had heart palpitations lately?" Yu Heng's shyness turned into worry, "Have you asked the imperial physician to check your pulse carefully?"

Ji Xinxue couldn't tell Yu Heng that his illness was called 'Pain of Conscience', but he had made up his mind that he would never lie to Yu Heng about anything other than his real gender.

After a long silence, Ji Xinxue raised the corners of her mouth with difficulty, and said half-truth, "Because you are so kind to me, and your heart is full of emotion, so you..."

Although from a certain point of view, he was not lying at this time, but Ji Xinxue really couldn't continue with such hypocritical words, so he could only look at Yu Heng hesitantly, hoping that Yu Heng could understand.

Yu Heng avoided Ji Xinxue's sight in embarrassment, his voice was barely audible, "We are husband and wife, I should treat you well."

Ji Xinxue didn't hear Yu Heng's words clearly, but saw that Yu Heng took the initiative to look away, willing to let him go, and couldn't wait to turn the topic back to the right track, "Did you find any problems with that rich businessman?"

Yu Heng nodded, sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then began to talk about the rich businessman.

The wealthy businessman came to Anye at the same time as the people from Princess Anguo's Mansion, and they both opened shops in Anye in the first half of the first year of Changping.

Compared with the people in Princess Anguo's mansion who actively took root in Anye, the wealthy businessman seemed a little absent-minded. He himself only stayed in Anye for half a month, and the remaining clerks and shopkeepers were not too serious. There are no customers, and I have never seen the shopkeeper and the staff worry about it.

It was not until half a month ago that the wealthy businessman returned to Anye again.

Ever since Ji Xinxue started catching Zhang Siyi's non-stop accounting, Yu Heng, who sensed something was wrong, ordered someone to secretly investigate the person in charge of purchasing in the princess.

It took a few circles to find out about this wealthy Jiangnan businessman.

Not only was it found that this wealthy Jiangnan businessman went to An Ye with many people, but the rest of them stayed not far from An Ye to buy a large amount of meat and eggs. He also entered and exited the mansion of the county magistrate of Anye.

In addition, among the people who settled down near Anye with the rich merchants from the south of the Yangtze River, there were also merchants who only appeared in Shangluo last year, and they often went out and went together with the governor of Yuanzhou in Shangluo.

"Do they have any plans to leave Anye?" Ji Xinxue first asked him the question he was most concerned about.

With the imperial decree secretly given to him by Emperor Changping before leaving Chang'an and the Jinwu Guard, he can now go and confiscate the homes of these Jiangnan businessmen, and then impeach the governor of Yuanzhou and the county magistrate of Anye, but Ji Xinxue is not reconciled.

These people slaughtered him like a fat sheep, and he wanted to slaughter him back.

Before Yu Heng came to tell Ji Xinxue about this matter, he had already found out all the things that could be found out without alarming the snake.

He shook his head at Ji Xinxue, with confusion on his face, "Originally, the wealthy merchants in Anye and the wealthy merchants who stayed near Anye all planned to leave at the beginning of the month, but when the beginning of the month approached, these people unanimously canceled their plans to leave and never left again. signs."

With loving eyes, Ji Xinxue raised her hand and patted Yu Heng's shoulder.

He can understand the mood of the rich businessman.

After all the big fat sheep came down from the sky, how could they be willing to leave if they didn't completely bald the big fat sheep?

Three days later, Ji Xinxue ordered the county magistrate Xuan Anye in the Princess Mansion.

The news that Princess Anwu planned to open an official kiln to make rock sugar in Anye spread throughout Anye like a spring breeze overnight, and gradually spread to places outside Shangzhou.

Knowing that Jiangnan merchants left Anye overnight with heavy carriages, the corners of Ji Xinxue's mouth raised a cold arc.

It takes five months to build the Bingtang official kiln, and the raw materials for making Bingtang will be ready in four months at the latest.

He has hinted to Anye County magistrate that the raw materials for making rock sugar are caramel and icing sugar.

These businessmen will definitely return to Anye with a lot of caramel and icing sugar in order to cheat more money from Princess Anwu and King Xianglin who are "dumb, rich and soft-tempered".

It doesn't matter if these Jiangnan businessmen don't come back, Jin Wuwei has already found out that there is an extra 3 taels of silver in the mansion of the governor of Yuanzhou, and an extra 1 taels of silver in the mansion of the magistrate of Anye County.

In the second half of the year when Chang'an began to implement the new order, they first ransacked the homes of the two men to make an example of others, and warned the officials of other prefectures in Shannan Province that at least half of the 9 taels of silver would be returned, and the remaining half would be troubled by Jin Wuwei to Jiangnan to collect.

Ji Xinxue temporarily forgot about the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, thinking about visiting places other than Chang'an.

He and Yu Heng took Li Jinhuan and other companions, deliberately went to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city first, played for two days before returning to Anye in low-key attire.

However, everyone's temperament is outstanding, even if they are all dressed in common clothes and dressed up as ordinary people, they will still attract the attention of people around them, and it is really difficult to maintain a low-key carelessness.

"Why don't we separate first and meet at Yuerguan?" Li Jinhuan suggested with hesitation.

They didn't plan to go back to the Princess Mansion after shopping today, they planned to enter the city from the east gate and leave from the west gate, and go to Yu'er Temple outside the city to stay overnight.

Tomorrow, I will visit the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples on the outskirts of the city before considering whether to enter the city.

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, who were standing at the same place, moved in tacit understanding, silently expressing that they would not be separated by the distance that was almost close.

Zhang Siyi took the initiative to take half a step back. If he wanted to act separately, he must be the first to be separated, because he was the only one among all the companions who could not protect Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng.

Li Jinhuan, Lin Wei and Yan Meng looked at each other, Li Jinhuan voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield and walked to Zhang Siyi's side.

With the Jinwu Guard around, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng don't need his protection, instead he is more worried about the weak Zhang Siyi.

Lin Wei and Yan Meng refused to give in to each other, the fire in their eyes became more and more intense, and they meant that if they disagreed with each other, they would win by skill.

"Okay, that's it!" Ji Xinxue clapped her hands in satisfaction, "I'm with Feng Lang, Jin Huan and Si Yi are together, you two are together."

Yan Meng and Lin Wei were stunned at the same time, subconsciously wanting to resist, "No, I will protect"

Ji Xinxue pointed at Huo Yu, who was dressed in sackcloth and didn't look like a servant, "Feng Lang and I want to keep a low profile, so we can't bring more people."

Yan Meng lowered her head in disappointment.

Yu Heng also rejected Lin Wei with righteous words, and his words made people sad, "Huo Yu is enough."

After confirming that everyone no longer has any objections to the arrangement of separate operations, Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng turned around first and walked towards the market at the end of the alley.

Huo Yu felt the eyes of Li Jinhuan, Yan Meng and Lin Wei staring at him closely, and stayed where he was for an extra sentence, "We will protect them today and not teach."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yu turned and left without hesitation, leaving behind three people whose eyes flickered and finally turned to fighting spirit and Zhang Siyi who was full of bewilderment.

After Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng walked into the alley, they immediately felt the enthusiasm of the vendors.

"Lang Jun took his sister out for a stroll? Buy a bracelet for the girl."

"Fresh steamed cakes, guaranteed full of ingredients!"

"Miss, let's take a look at the newly arrived silk threads. They are all good threads left over from Caiyun Embroidery Shop. I'll bring you more and it will be cheaper."

"You are all talking nonsense! These are obviously childhood sweethearts. Come and take a look at my purse. They are all cloth heads and colored threads from Caiyun Embroidery Village. If there were not too many embroiderers supplying Caiyun Embroidery Village recently It will never be sold outside."

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng stopped in place at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they both saw flinching in each other's eyes.

It was rare for Huo Yu to take the initiative to speak when Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng didn't think of him, "Changing the road?"

Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng nodded at the same time, then immediately turned and walked back.

The people of Anye are too enthusiastic, which is really hard to resist.

Suddenly, a little lady carrying a bamboo basket ran towards Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng. She looked about the same age as Ji Baoshan, but her black and yellow complexion was far from the fair and tender Ji Baoshan.

The little lady stopped in front of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, and her eyes, which only children have, turned repeatedly between the two of them, and finally made a choice before the two of them ran out of patience. Bamboo Basket said crisply, "Brother, buy a flower for your sister-in-law."

Ji Xinxue froze in place, immediately took half a step back, and left quickly.

At this moment, he could finally understand why girls couldn't bear to be called by others when they were old.

"Hey?" Yu Heng raised his hand to grab Ji Xinxue's arm but missed, and was about to catch up, but was blocked by the little lady again.

The little lady said with crooked eyebrows, "Sister-in-law is shy, brother, don't forget to send her flowers."

The back of Yu Heng's ears was flushed, and he picked up the purse at his waist expressionlessly, his voice was inexplicably hoarse, "How much money?"

The smile on the little lady's face became more enthusiastic, and she dared to say the high price she had never sold before, "One early spring jasmine only costs one penny."

According to Yu Heng's previous habits, it is possible to give the whole purse to the little flower seller when he is in a hurry, but now he patiently searched in the purse for a long time, and finally found the smallest silver bead.

He glanced at the dozen or so flowers in the bamboo basket that were still dripping water, then reached out and handed the silver beans to the little lady, "Is that enough for the flowers and the bamboo basket?"

The little lady barely held back her screams, and nodded repeatedly, "Enough! Brother and sister-in-law and He Meimei, fly together!"

Yu Heng coughed uncomfortably, but couldn't hold it back after all, and quickly took out a gold bean from the purse, and stuffed it into the little lady's palm together with the previous silver bean, "Put it away, and go home quickly."

After all, Yu Heng carried the basket and walked faster and faster amidst the little lady's louder and louder blessings, completely out of the little lady's sight in the blink of an eye.

The little lady quietly looked at the two beans in her palm.

She has never met such a generous person, who is willing to give her more silver coins just for a few kind words?Could it be golden beans!

The smile on the little lady's face froze, she turned around and ran home.

I wish my brother and sister-in-law a long life and grow old together!

Ji Xinxue stopped after leaving the range of the alley, waiting for Yu Heng to catch up.

As time passed, his heart gradually lifted.

Why haven't you come yet?

It's not true that you can buy flowers, and it's not that you can't buy them.

Why should I buy it?

It can't be because of the little lady, no, maybe Yu Heng just lost his way suddenly and didn't buy flowers.

Ji Xinxue gradually regained her composure in the process of repeated questions and denials, and when she saw Yu Heng appearing with a flower basket, there was no disturbance in her heart.

Even he, who was called old for no reason, thought that the appearance of a lively little lady racking her brains to sell flowers to make money was endearing, and it was normal for Yu Heng to give generously.

Ji Xinxue could even stop thinking about the little lady calling him old just now, and look at the fresh jasmine with water drops and the wild bamboo basket with admiring eyes.

The little lady has a good eye for being able to exchange wild flowers that anyone can pick.

The closer Yu Heng got to Ji Xinxue, the more ruddy the color behind her ears became. When Ji Xinxue finally turned her eyes from the flower basket to him, she subconsciously explained, "I only give her one silver bean and one gold bean."

No money wasted.

Ji Xinxue nodded with complicated emotions.

When they go to Yu'er to watch, Yu Heng should be able to see many flowers in the mountains and plains that may not look as good as the roses in the bamboo basket, but are almost the same kind of flowers.

Yu Heng continued to explain, "She speaks pleasantly."

Ji Xinxue snatched the flower basket that Yu Heng was carrying carefully, grabbed Yu Heng's wrist and strode forward, "Come on, let's go shopping in the store."

He didn't want to know how the little lady spoke, which made Yu Heng feel pleasing.

The two hurried away from the alley, and gradually approached the center of Anye City.

In order to conceal their identities, both of them dressed very low-key.

Ji Xinxue wore a pea-green jacket and a ginger-yellow long skirt embroidered with the same pattern. On her head, she wore a blue silk flower of Xiaoer Quan Da Dai, and beside it was dotted with a cloud-shaped silver hairpin. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets were all It is silver jewelry, only the ring on the hand is made of gold.

Yu Heng was wearing a blue robe.On the head, only a cloth bag of the same color without any decoration is used to tie the hair, and the golden unicorn that seems to be a symbol on the waist has also been replaced by a plain purse, which looks even more plain than Ji Xinxue.

Because of the two's misunderstanding of "low-key" and the gap in the number of accessories between men and women, only the simple people in the alley regard the two as siblings or childhood sweethearts.

In the jewelry store in the center of Anye City, someone actually identified Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng as masters and servants, and asked Ji Xinxue if she could sell servants.

Ji Xinxue looked blankly at the girl in the flamboyant red brocade robe in front of her, suspecting that she had indirect hearing loss, "What did you say?"

"Are you deaf?" The girl wearing a crown made of gold jewels raised her chin flamboyantly, "I'm asking if you sell servants, the price is negotiable."

Ji Xinxue turned her head to look at Huo Yu, who was carrying a bunch of oil-paper bags and a wooden box.

The girl has a good eye, and this is the successor of the Jinwuwei General that he, Aye, is optimistic about.

'Snapped'

The sound of the empty whip made Ji Xinxue frown and come back to her senses.

"What do you think that stupid guy is doing? I don't like him. How about another manservant in blue cloth, 800 taels of silver?" The girl pointed at Yu Heng's hand with a whip. Face.

Ji Xinxue took a deep breath and reminded herself that it was he and Yu Heng who wanted to hide their identities for fun first, so the girl would misunderstand Yu Heng's identity, and said coldly, "These two are my elder brothers, not what you imagined." Servant."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xinxue turned and left the jewelry store, not wanting to have any further entanglements with the girl.

It's a pity that the girl who didn't achieve her goal refused to give up, and her next whip was directed at Ji Xinxue who had already turned around.

"Huo Yu, I'm coming!"

Ji Xinxue, who heard the sound of breaking through the air, turned her head suddenly, stopped Huo Yu from making a move, and at the same time raised the decorative soft whip around her waist to meet the girl's whip, and stepped back half a step to straighten her wrist at the moment when the two whips were entangled.

Following the girl's exclamation, the whip inlaid with various gemstones flew out of her hand and flew towards Ji Xinxue's face, just in time to be caught by Yu Heng who raised her hand.

After five years of hard training, he finally had a chance to prove that he never slack off in whip training, but Ji Xinxue was not happy at all. He stared sharply at the girl with a disbelieving face, "Get lost!"

Before he changed his mind, he asked the Jin Wuwei who was waiting outside the jewelry store to arrest him for assassinating the princess.

rush!tight!roll!

The girl's face was pale and pale, as if she hadn't heard Ji Xinxue's words, she whispered to the people around her, "Who is she, could it be that she also came here for God Thief Wuhen?"

Anyone who dares to fight back in Anye City and is not afraid of being arrested by the yamen must not be a small sect.

The old servant had already sent someone to inquire about Ji Xinxue's whereabouts when the girl and Ji Xinxue had conflicts. All he knew was that Ji Xinxue was wandering around the shops and bought a lot of things.

He said to the girl, "No matter who she is, you just need to hold her back. The silver bracelet has already found the trace of the god thief Wuhen. After we catch the god thief Wuhen, we will turn back immediately."

The Yu family in the south of the Yangtze River was so angry that they stole the lovesickness scroll passed down from generation to generation by the Yu family. It can be seen that the lovesickness roll is important to the Yu family. As long as the Bai family can get the lovesickness scroll, why not completely defeat Yu Shi, to end the situation of Jiangnan Dongyu Xibai.

The communication between the two only took a moment, and the girl had already strode towards Ji Xinxue, who was full of frost. She changed her previous arrogance, and took the initiative to hug Ji Xinxue, who was much younger than her, "I am the Bai family in Jiangnan. Bai Ke, the first daughter-in-law, where is my sister from?"

"You're not leaving?" Ji Xinxue sneered.

Don't blame him for being ruthless when weeping behind bars.

Jiangnan Bai Family?It's just a merchant.

So what if it is the largest wealthy businessman in Jiangnan?

Honestly, it's fine to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, but dare to act wild in Shannan Road.

Bai Keben pinched his nose and bowed his head to Ji Xinxue for the sake of the overall situation. Seeing that Ji Xinxue still spoke with a cold face, it was yin and yang, and the resentment in his heart grew stronger.

She just needs to drag this person who doesn't know the number, there is no need to be amiable.

"You haven't agreed to sell the manservant to me, how can I be willing to leave?" Bai Ke had already seen that Ji Xinxue cared about Yu Heng, and provoked Ji Xinxue's temper with malice, "If you think 800 taels of silver is not enough, 8000 taels of silver is not enough. Two is not impossible, but you have to kneel on the ground and beg me to buy him."

Yu Heng, who had always been calmly listening to Bai Ke mentioning him in the tone of talking about the goods, suddenly changed his expression, shook his wrist lightly, whipped his tail and went straight to Bai Ke, and said coldly, "Press her and the people accompanying her to the princess mansion. .”

Bai Ke wanted to hide, but Huo Yu, who was carrying things in both hands, appeared behind her like a ghost, and kicked her knee, causing Yu Heng's whip tail, which was originally aimed at Bai Ke's waist, to twitch Bai Ke's face.

"Ah!" Bai Ke screamed and covered his stinging side face, he didn't notice what Yu Heng said just now, he just said harshly, "You are dead! My father is the head of the Bai family! The leader of the martial arts alliance I'm the uncle! The current Sikong is my uncle!"

Ji Xinxue barely suppressed the absurd feeling of hearing the titles of 'Sikong' and 'Wulin leader' at the same time in one sentence, and whipped the whip in her hand on Bai Ke's buttocks twice flexibly, waiting for Bai Ke to be so painful that he had no strength to stop. After screaming, he pushed Yu Heng forward, and said condescendingly, "The manservant you want to buy is Prince Xianglin."

"The Prince of Xianglin County?!" Bai Ke, who was weak and lying on the ground, regained his energy in an instant, and shouted with a ferocious expression, "Impossible, it cannot be the King of Xianglin County!"

Both Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng were unwilling to say a word to Bai Ke, and looked away.

"Aren't there too many masters here?" Ji Xinxue looked around and realized that after the five Jinwu guards waiting outside the door all came in, they only had time to knock down those who wanted to save Bai Ke and those who wanted to escape. On the ground, even Huo Yu put down the oil-paper bag and wooden box that he always carried, and was guarding the gate to prevent anyone from escaping.

With sharp eyes and hands, Yu Heng pulled away the waiter in the jewelry store who was trying to get close to him and Ji Xinxue, with complicated eyes appearing, "It may be the stronghold of Jianghu sect."

He has never dealt with Xia Jiuliu, but he has learned a thing or two through correspondence with Mo Changshi.

Ji Xinxue thought that the eyes of the "Martial Arts Leader" he heard from Bai Ke just now were no less complicated than Yu Heng's.

The two were back to back, tacitly blocked the person who tried to get close to them with the whip, and the Jin Wuwei, who had time to make a shot, knocked him unconscious first.

When there were fewer and fewer people standing in the jewelry store, a large number of people suddenly poured in outside the door. These people were not the Anye County police officers that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng thought of, but brawny men in bunts. There was a man whose head was bleeding and was almost unconscious.

"Take the girl and go, Xianglin County King and Jin Wuwei are here!" The people in the jewelry store who hadn't fallen down shouted.

"Don't let them go!" Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng said at the same time.

Before the strong men could react, more than a dozen people poured in outside the door, this time they were all Jinwu Guards wearing soft armor.

It's a pity that these strong men were brought down cleanly by the Jinwu Guard before they realized what happened. Only Bai Ke was still shouting, "It can't be Xianglin County King." '

Hearing Bai Ke's words, Wuhen, the god thief who was held hostage by the strong man in the center, bit the tip of his tongue to cheer up, and soon focused his eyes on Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue who were fighting back to back, and the hesitation in his eyes became more and more intense.

Which is Xianglin County King?

By the way, it is impossible for the king of Xianglin County to disguise himself as a woman.

The person who is always guarded by Xianglin County King is a liar!He lied to King Xianglin!

At the critical moment of life and death, Wuhen had no time to think about it, so he rushed towards Yu Heng with his last strength when there was no one around him, and shouted, "Prince Xianglin! I have a secret to tell you, please save me!" The little one’s life! If it’s not a secret, you will kill the little one immediately!”

He wants to expose the liar and help Xianglin County King get through the love affair.

With such a great achievement, he will definitely be able to replace Xianglin County King to protect his life!
