"Yes, if you want to reconcile, I will help you."
Dong Lingjiu was afraid that what he said was not clear enough, so he repeated it very patiently.
But this time, Xia Tan'er became wary.
"Why?"
"what why?"
"Uncle Nine Emperors, why do you want to help me?"
Obviously he was just stating the facts, but in his mind, the figures falling from the sky couldn't be shaken off.
"Even if the relationship between you and me is uncle and nephew, in the final analysis, we are still strangers who met by chance. Even if my mother was kind to you, the kindness was already repaid when we first rescued you."
"Since you are a stranger, why do you want to help me? I don't believe that the majestic Dongling God of War would be free to help a stranger who has no relatives and no use value."
At this moment, Xia Tan'er watched intently, waiting for Dong Lingjiu's answer.
She wants an answer.
A definite answer.
Even if it was really just for use, she still wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"because……"
This king likes you...
Such simple five words were stuck in Dong Lingjiu's throat.
He couldn't say it.
Not only is the current uncle-nephew relationship between the two of them, but they are also afraid that Xia Tan'er will completely stay away after discovering the truth.
It does not take advantage of the weather, it does not take advantage of the advantages, and it does not take advantage of the people.
This is not the time to express the friendship in your heart.
"Because of what?"
Xia Tan'er's bright eyes gradually became cold as Dong Lingjiu remained silent.
If you can’t say it now, you won’t have to say it in the future.
It seemed that she really wanted too much of all this.
"Today, if you offend the Nine Emperors Uncle, please forgive me."
"I will never ask questions like this again in the future."
"I will figure out a way to reconcile myself, so I don't need to trouble Uncle Nine Emperors."
"In addition, my mother is my mother. I will personally repay the kindness Uncle Nine Emperors has given me by taking care of her and saving her many times. If Uncle Nine Emperors needs my help in any way, I will do my best."
Of course, her relationship with Dong Lingjiu also completely stopped here.
Also, she is as bright as a star, and she is alone with the moon. There has never been any comparison.
"Tan'er..."
Xia Tan'er lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows.
Such a polite and thoughtful gesture made Dong Lingjiu extremely disgusted.
But look at the alienation gradually rising in her eyes.
Only then did Dong Lingjiu realize that he seemed to have lost something irreparable.
"you……"
"Miss!"
The words are not finished yet.
Hongxiu ran over in a hurry.
She glanced at Dong Lingjiu.
He hurriedly knelt down and leaned towards Xia Tan'er's ear.
"Miss, Mr. Song has sent word that the Valley Master will come to the house tomorrow, but before that, I have to ask the young lady to go to the palace again.
They say something happened to the Second Prince of Nanling. "
"Something happened? What happened?"
"I don't know, I have to ask you to go there in person."
Xia Tan'er's eyebrows hurt.
I don’t know what day it is today, but there is nothing good about it.
Naturally, the voices of the two talking could not escape Dong Lingjiu's ears.
He picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.
"I will send you there."
"This... how dare you trouble Uncle Nine Emperors?"
"When something happens in Nanling Mu, I am also responsible. It is considered a blessing."
"Besides, wouldn't it be a lot of inconvenience for you to arrange the carriage yourself?"
Dongling Jiuyi glanced at Xia Tan'er pointedly.
Xia Tan'er knew that as Princess Jin, she would not be able to enter the palace. Besides, it would be quite time-consuming to summon another carriage.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that Dong Lingjiu's words were reasonable.
Xia Tan'er nodded and stood up quickly.
"Please wait a moment, Uncle Nine Emperors, while I get a medicine box and change my clothes."
"No rush, take your time."
"Thank you, Uncle Nine Emperors."
After saying that, Xia Tan'er saluted Dong Lingjiu.
He hurriedly ran to the room.
Dong Lingjiu's face never showed any signs of anxiety. He just sat there and slowly poured himself another cup of tea.
But at the moment the door closed.
He turned his head and glanced at the door longingly.
"I'm sorry Tan'er, now is not a good time to meet each other, wait for me..."
…
After a stick of incense.
Xia Tan'er, dressed in men's clothing, sat on the carriage with Dong Lingjiu.
But the atmosphere between the two of them was really indescribably weird.
Xia Tan'er was holding her chin, thinking hard about what happened to Nan Lingmu, and recalled the operation process that day in detail, but she didn't notice any omissions.
Dong Lingjiu was calm and composed.
Tea in the left hand, book in the right hand.
So uncomfortable.
at this time.
A lazy voice sounded out of thin air.
"Tan'er."
"Um?"
"How do you plan to help Song Lingcheng make money?"
Why would the good-natured Dong Lingjiu ask such a question?
Could it be...
Is he asking Song Lingcheng to open up a trade channel to Nanling?
If you think about it carefully, that should be the case.
Since it is a cooperative partnership, Xia Tan'er's wariness has dropped a lot.
"As the saying goes, rare things are valuable."
“The rarer and more precious something is on the market, the higher the price it can command.”
"What are you going to sell?"
"You can sell anything, restaurants, objects, jewelry, as long as it's rare and beautiful, you can make money."
This statement is quite different from Song Lingcheng's idea.
honestly.
Dong Ling admired Xia Tan'er's previous views on the issue of selling grain in the market.
It's rare for a woman to have such a big picture and mind.
Therefore, he was still proud in front of Song Lingcheng for a long time.
Now listen to Xia Tan'er say this.
He had a rough idea.
Since his Tan'er likes to make money, he will let her make enough.
"Now that you have an idea, just go ahead and do it. I will prepare everything for you."
In the past, Xia Tan'er still felt that she could do well on her own without Dong Lingjiu's help.
But now she thinks differently.
If you leave ready-made connections and resources unused, you would be a fool.
Even if you are talking about a boyfriend, you must make good use of the other person's resources to benefit yourself and bring yourself to a higher level. Otherwise, the acquaintance will be in vain and your feelings will be wasted.
This is also true in modern times, and even more so in ancient times when power was relied entirely on power.
Since she wants to be the master of this Jiuzhou continent, she must learn to win over people and turn everything to her advantage.
"Then Tan'er will thank Uncle Nine Emperors first."
Dong Lingjiu was a little surprised.
I didn't expect that Xia Tan'er would agree so quickly this time.
But since Xia Taner likes it.
He wants to be satisfied with everything.
immediately.
Dong Lingjiu took out a jade medal made of black gold from his arms and handed it to Xia Tan'er.
Xia Tan'er looked at it, but didn't dare to take it.
He tilted his head and asked Dong Lingjiu.
"What's this?"
She really didn't dare to take Dong Lingjiu's things casually.
Once you take it, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back, and you can't tell what price you will have to pay.
