"Your Highness, that Alibai is of some use to me. When you leave the city to see me off in two days, perform a play with me in front of him."
Li Yuanzhao was very interested: "What show?"
Fang Zheng whispered: "When Ali Bai is present, you can do this...and this...in front of him..."
After a brief explanation, Fang Zheng said goodbye to Li Yuanzhao and left the palace.
He naturally knew the news that Ali Bai had not gone out for two days. Not only that, he also knew exactly what he ate every day.
After all, I had already communicated with Honglu Temple in advance.
This is a good sign, at least Ali Bai really listened to what he said.
He has a better idea of what kind of mentality this little brat has!
If you have a different idea, a stubborn person may still want to get the situation back, but it is not easy to fool him.
But there are other things to be busy with right now.
Now that he is going to the Kingdom of Jin, Chu Qinghan has been thinking about going to the border town to do business. This time it is necessary to ask them what they think.
If you don’t want to go, that’s of course the best.
If they want to go, let them follow the mission this time to experience the harsh environment along the way. Even if they don't change their original intentions, it would be good to understand the situation.
Although he knew in his heart that Chu Qinghan repeatedly rejected him and wanted to cut off the relationship with him.
But to be fair, he ruined the reputation of his sisters and made it impossible for them to return home, even if the root cause was the mentally retarded young man of the Chu family.
But after all, he had exposed both sisters... This was unavoidable, and he couldn't lie to himself.
Because it is really good...
Riding a horse, we rushed all the way to the door of Chu's house. It happened that the two sisters were not at home. Fortunately, Menzi knew Fang Zhengyi.
Not daring to be slow, he hurriedly walked in. After waiting for half an hour, Chu Qinghan and Chu Youyi returned home.
The two of them were carrying large and small bags in their hands, and they looked very tired.
"Brother Fang is here." Chu Youyi said in surprise when she saw Fang Zheng.
When Chu Qinghan saw Fang Zheng drinking tea leisurely, he quickly put down what he was holding and stepped forward to say hello.
"Sir Fang, why are you here?"
As soon as Fang Zheng put down the tea cup, he said, "You are too expensive to talk about. Let's see how you are doing. What did you do when you went out?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I just went shopping with Youyi for some household items..."
Fang Zheng glanced at the package and saw that the package was bulging with stuff and a corner was exposed, so he asked, "Household items? I think those are leather goods."
Seeing that he was exposed, Chu Qinghan nodded awkwardly.
Chu Youyi suddenly interrupted: "Sister bought some leather goods and wanted to compare the leathers on the market."
Fang Zheng sighed: "You're going to go to the border town if you die, right? This business is not that easy, especially for women."
Chu Qinghan was speechless, sat on the chair and nodded lightly.
"It is indeed difficult to do, but there is one thing Master Fang said that I disagree with. If a man can do something, a woman can do it too."
Fang Zhengyi smiled bitterly and said: "You are right. Well, I don't want to persuade you anymore. You have all heard about the Jin Kingdom's envoy in the capital."
"heard."
"In fact, the Jin delegation will return the next day, and they are not the only ones leaving. The imperial court has decided to send a delegation to return the gift and discuss trade between the two countries again."
"I think since you are going to go, you might as well go to the Kingdom of Jin with me. Firstly, it is safe, and secondly, we can negotiate a result. You also have first-hand information. There will be other unexpected business opportunities by then. You have to do it. You're a leather goods guy. We are all acquaintances, so I would be happy to see you if you could seize the opportunity."
Chu Qinghan's face showed a tangled look: "Master Fang, I..."
"Hey, listen to me first." Fang Zheng raised his hand and said, "I have prepared my luggage and everything else. You don't need to prepare anything. Just bring a few sets of clothes and set off with me. There will be a lot of people accompanying you." You don’t have to worry about other officials in Jing.”
"Then thank you Master Fang. Qinghan will never forget it." Chu Qinghan stood up and bowed solemnly in front of Fang Zhengyi.
agreed? Thinking that he would have to waste some words, Fang Zhengyi was a little surprised: "Don't be so serious, since you agreed, then you and Youyi pack some clothes as soon as possible, and we will set off the day after tomorrow."
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, regardless of the two girls' efforts to stay.
Although he really wanted to have tea with Sister Tifa, he really had a lot of business to do. Before leaving, there were many matters waiting for him to arrange in the county, Jinyiwei, and Eastern Suburbs University.
Seeing that Fang Zhengyi had really left, Chu Youyi approached Chu Qinghan and asked, "Sister, why did you agree to him? Aren't you always afraid of accepting his favor?"
"What else can I do if I don't agree?" Chu Qinghan said helplessly: "They are kind-hearted and have helped us over and over again. If you don't agree again, you will be disrespectful."
"What's more, this journey is tiring and there are indeed too many unsafe places. You have to follow me. What if something happens?"
"Now I feel more at ease following the mission to the Kingdom of Jin. Next time we will have experience ourselves."
Chu Youyi said tangledly: "That being said, what should we do with the favor we owe? How can we repay it in the future?"
Chu Qinghan sighed quietly: "What else can you do? Just pay it back slowly. If it doesn't work, just go and be a maid. I think you are happier to see him than to see me."
Speaking of maids, Chu Youyi suddenly remembered that she was in the academy and was treated as Fang Zhengyi's maid on the first day she went to the academy.
"Nonsense!" Chu Youyi's pretty face flushed: "It's rare to have guests at home, how can I still look miserable?"
"If you want to be a maid, you should be the one to do it. How can a sister pay off her debt and let her take the job?"
"Hey, he is a consort. That's a huge difference. If you want to be a maid, you might not be able to." Chu Qinghan laughed at himself.
I can't even become a maid, it seems...
A trace of loneliness flashed in Chu Youyi's eyes, and she said depressedly: "Sister, why don't we go home... Why do we have to do business outside? We have everything at home, so we can do whatever we want in Yuding City. "
"How can we go home? How do other people look at us? Do you want to live with others poking your spine?" Chu Qinghan frowned, "I am in charge of all the business at home, and dad insists on taking it over by force, okay? Let the eldest brother inherit the family business."
"Okay, I returned everything to him and fulfilled his wish. How about I don't want anything anymore? Now there is no other choice but to be independent and self-reliant!"
"There is no better place in the world to do business than the capital. Don't think too much. When you make money in the future, I will find a good family for you to marry, so you won't have to pester me all day long."
"You're annoying me, aren't you! If you want to marry, marry yourself!" Chu Youyi stamped her foot and ran into the house angrily.
"Damn girl, come back and you haven't packed your things yet!"
Seeing Chu Youyi disappear, Chu Qinghan silently packed up his things with a hint of helplessness in his anger.
