"Stop frowning." Yang Shu sipped her tea, "I'm anxious inside but not anxious outside. It can only be that we just hooked up."
"The secret guards have been told to pay attention."
"One more game?" Yang Shu put the chess pieces back.
Xu Jingzhou stood up and said, "No, Yueyao is probably waiting for me."
"Winning or losing is normal. Uncle, please be tolerant of your attitude."
Xu Jingzhou tilted his head at Yang Shu, "In that case, how many games of Go will your Majesty play with me?"
"It's getting late. I still have government affairs, so I won't accompany you." Yang Shu straightened his clothes and left with dignity.
Xu Jingzhou secretly curled his lips, he was really good at pretending.

In Yonghe County, a villager ran and shouted, "Boss Jia is here!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the field became warm, but not everyone was happy. Boss Jia’s purchase price was getting higher and higher, but the kudzu roots were getting harder and harder to find. Even after a long search, it was difficult to find one.
"How much is it this time?" someone asked holding a hoe.
"One hundred coins."
Suddenly there was the sound of breathing all around.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have sold it last time!" Someone patted his thigh.
"I dug one yesterday. Should I sell it now or wait?" A farmer gritted his back teeth and couldn't make up his mind.
"I'll have to wait a little longer. Boss Jia will come every two or three days. I inquired and found out that he will stay in Yonghe County for two months. The price will definitely be higher next time."
When the people around heard this, their eyes flashed, and they ran home and hid the kudzu root.
In the restaurant, a man in blue poured wine for the people around him with a very respectful attitude, "Mr. Zhou, I have five carts of kudzu root in my warehouse. As long as you send a message to Magistrate Ding, I will have someone deliver it to you right away. In the mansion.”
"Young Master Zhou must have heard about the price of kudzu. One root costs a hundred cents."
Zhou Baicheng's pupils shrank, he twirled the wine glass and said casually: "What are you talking about?"
The man smiled and said, "Tang Kuan, a member of the household department, his father died two months ago, but he hid it and refused to report it. It is really unfilial."
Zhou Baicheng drank the wine, thought for a moment, and uttered two words, "That's right."
"Thank you, Master." The man looked happy and hurriedly filled Zhou Baicheng's cup.
That night, five carts of kudzu entered the Zhou mansion.
In Xuanyang City, Cui Tingyu threw the roster into the fire pot. Under the firelight, her beautiful face was bright and dim, making people unable to see clearly.
Yang Ning's full-moon banquet was hosted by Yang Shu in a grand manner. All the expenses in Huining County's restaurants were recorded in the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Not only that, all shops are discounted by 50%, and the loss will be borne by the Qin Palace.
There were cheers and joy everywhere.
But among those who laughed, Zheng Bin was not included.
Fifty percent of the shops in Huining County belong to the Zheng family. Zheng Bin knows Yang Shu's virtue very well. The money will probably be burned to her after she dies.
"Young master." Seeing that Zheng Bin was in a bad state, the steward called softly.
Zheng Bin looked downstairs and said quietly: "I have made money that I could never imagine before, but the warehouse is empty."
"I really want to poison him."
"Young master, be careful what you say, be careful that the walls have ears!" The steward was startled and trotted out to look outside.
"What are you afraid of? How could he be willing to let me die?"
"Even if I'm dead, he will dig me out and make sure I'm really dead." Zheng Bin closed the window, out of sight and out of mind.
"Young master, Prince Qin's palace has set up a seat for you."
"Do you think he sincerely invited me? He just wanted to receive a gift." Zheng Bin hummed. He had never seen someone so calculating.
It would be a pity not to do business.
"Will you go then?"
"Go, since the gift is unavoidable, you must eat it back."
Zheng Bin narrowed his eyes and said, "Call all the guys. Prince Qin's palace is so big that it can definitely accommodate us."
"How much?!" Yang Shu's voice became sharp.
Pai Gow repeated, "Nine hundred and counting."
Yang Shu breathed heavily, "Is Zheng Bin crazy?"
"I've seen people with families and families, but I've never seen people with 900 men!"
"How the hell can I bear this!"
Yang Shu strode out, found Zheng Bin, and he was about to deal with it.
Zheng Bin took out the account book from his pocket and said slowly: "Is the king free today?"
"No time!"
Yang Shu left angrily.
Sooner or later he will settle the account, let's see how crazy Zheng Bin is! What happened when he was free!
"queen."
On the bluestone path, Qiu Chuanan handed the brocade box out and said warmly: "You should like the inkstone in Dianmo Pavilion."
"Captain Qiu has received a lot of gifts these days. Can you and I be of any help?" Lu Yun's tone was calm, with an inquiring look in his eyes.
Qiu Chuanan smiled warmly, "The queen is the most important person in the king. If I have a good relationship with you, my future path will be smooth."
Lu Yun glanced across Qiu Chuanan's face and said quietly: "But I have no intention of fighting."
"Queen, you are the mistress of Prince Qin's palace, there is no need to fight." Qiu Chuanan handed over his hand and sent the brocade box forward.
"Although Chuan'an is weak, some small things will surely satisfy the queen."
Lu Yun smiled slightly and asked Mo Mei to accept the brocade box.
"Madam, I counted, you looked at him three times." Yang Shu came out from the side, looked at the direction Qiu Chuanan left, and said sourly.
“I even laughed at the end!”
Lu Yun stroked his forehead and said, "You didn't say that. Don't give it up for free. From this point of view, you have to get by."
"The look he gave me just now was extremely firm."
"If you don't have enough experience in the world, you might think that the Qiu family really wants to serve me."
"Yun'er, he's not as handsome as me." Yang Shu thought for a while and then spoke seriously.
Lu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and straightened Yang Shu's slightly crooked collar, "I don't remember, but there should be no one more handsome than my husband in the world."
"I like to hear this." Yang Shu put his arms around Lu Yun's waist.
"The front hall is full of people, don't leave the table for too long."
"They have hands and they can eat by themselves." Yang Shu pulled Lu Yun to sit down and massaged her shoulders and back.
In the past few days, Lu Yun had been busy keeping his feet off the floor in order to host the full moon banquet. At night, he had to turn off the lights forcibly before getting anyone into bed.
"Open it and take a look." Yang Shu took out a beautiful wooden box from his arms and handed it to Lu Yun.
"Although it's not the case that Qiu Chuan'an is giving gifts, I still can't let him go over it. I will only be more in line with the lady's wishes." Yang Shu smiled at Lu Yun with the utmost tenderness.
Lu Yun raised her lips and took the wooden box. After stroking it, she opened it carefully.
Seeing what was inside, Lu Yun was surprised, "Such a thin cicada clothes, but a travel note written by Qi Xiu?"
"You'll hit it right away." Yang Shu said with a smile in his eyes, "Do you like it or not?"
Lu Yun nodded, looked around, and kissed Yang Shu on the face.
"I'm so lucky that Qi Xiu and I are not from the same era. Otherwise, there would be no way we could compete with each other." Yang Shu joked.
Lu Yun leaned into Yang Shu's arms, her eyebrows gentle, "My husband is the best."
Mo Mei bit the candied haws and put aside the brocade box containing the inkstone. It was better for the king, unlike Mr. Qiu, who had never even seen a piece of candy.
The sour and sweet taste made Mo Mei squint her eyes.
