Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 320

When the shop clerk saw Ma San coming back, his face was like a peach blossom, and he greeted him attentively:
"Master Ma, you are back, there are distinguished guests waiting to see you!"

Hearing the sound, Ma San looked towards Lin Xiao and the others, and when he saw Lin Xiao beside Xiyue, he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her with a pair of radiant eyes.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was dressed as a Turkic businessman, although he had a rough beard, but those familiar eyes made Ma San's heart turbulent.

Why did Lin Xiao come to Turkic, this dead child?

However, after all, Ma San is a seasoned old fritter, and he controlled his emotions in an instant.

He quickly put away his sharp eyes, pretended not to know Lin Xiao, and smiled at them:
"I don't know why the distinguished guests are looking for me?"

In the Great Xia Dynasty, which emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, the status of merchants was extremely low. Ma San knew this very well. He clearly knew that those who could enter the Chunfeng Building were not idle people, and the two around Lin Xiao were definitely not something he could afford Lord!

"Hmph, are you a black-hearted dealer who made the price of salt comparable to gold?"

Xiyue didn't bother to talk nonsense, she gave Ma San a cold look, and asked straightforwardly.

"Who is black-hearted? Why are we black-hearted?"

When Da Ma saw his respected father being pointed at and scolded as a black-hearted businessman, he immediately became unhappy.

"Malaysia! Don't be unreasonable to noble people!"

Ma San glared at Da Ma, beckoning him to back down, then turned his head to Xiyue with a smile and apologized:
"I'm sorry, lord, I have spoiled this unlucky child, and he speaks indiscriminately. I hope that lord can forgive me a lot."

Unconvinced, Da Ma still wanted to refute, but was suppressed by his father's sharp eyes, and finally could only close his mouth resentfully.

"I don't care how you do business. All in all, if you want to earn money safely, you'd better restore the price of salt to the original market price, otherwise...it's easy for the princess to kill a black-hearted salt merchant. !"

Xiyue's tone was unquestionable, and she didn't give the other party any face.

Hearing this, Ma San was angry and afraid, but he didn't dare to show it.

Xiyue has already revealed her identity, she is a high-ranking princess!

"Good talk good talk!"

Ma Sanpei said with a smile, but his heart was pounding, the salt price was not set by him, he was just a second-hand dealer!

"It's easy to say anything, don't make fun of this princess, and let the princess drop the salt price back to the original price today, otherwise, the princess will kill you!"

Xiyue said coldly, she always said she would do it!
"My lord, you are wronged!"

Hearing Xiyue's words, Ma San's heart trembled, and he quickly knelt on the ground begging for mercy:
"It's not that I don't want to return to the original price, but that the purchase price of this salt is already too high. I have no choice but to do so!"

Ma San said while asking Da Ma to take out the account book, and handed it to Xiyue respectfully. Yu Xilin took the account book and glanced at it briefly. His eyes suddenly widened, and he said in disbelief:
"Is this your purchase price?"

"That's right, we also earned hard money, we can't let us lose money, can we?"

Ma San said aggrievedly, and glanced at Lin Xiao from time to time, trying to find some clues from her face.

Lin Xiao heard Yu Xilin's surprise, and leaned over to look at the account book. When she saw the purchase price, the corners of her mouth twitched violently.

This purchase price is too outrageous!

If Ma San's account book is true, then it means that something must have happened to Brothers Workshop!

And it's a big deal!

"Did something happen to Brother's Workshop?"

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Yu Xilin asked first.

Hearing Yu Xilin's question, Ma San was stunned for a moment, and then looked suspiciously at the handsome Yu Xilin.

This guy looks handsome and vulnerable, but his eyes are actually very vicious. Why is he asking this question?

Could it be that he wanted to vent his anger on Lin Xiao, a dead boy?

Anyway, Turkic is thousands of miles away from Lin Family Village, so it doesn't matter if I tell nonsense, anyway, I'm doing business for the royal family, so naturally I have the royal family's backing behind me!
Thinking of this, Ma San straightened his waist, his eyes showed arrogance and shrewdness.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"The nobles don't know that something happened to my boss!"

These words were like a thunderbolt in Lin Xiao's heart, and she asked anxiously:
"What happened?!"

"Hey, don't mention it! I can only tell you one thing."

Ma San pretended to sigh:
"Great master!"

A few simple words contained all the information, and Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.

Her mind went blank.

Since ancient times, those who have made great achievements have never had a good end.

Now that she is in Turkic, the Great Xia Dynasty can't touch her, but what about Lan Lian and the others?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, her breathing became rapid, and her complexion became even more frighteningly pale!
This scene was naturally seen by Yu Xilin who was sitting beside her.

He looked at the woman in front of him who had always existed in the deepest part of his heart, and he couldn't help feeling a little moved.

"Are you okay?"

It was the first time that he cared about Lin Xiao sincerely since the two became opposites.

Lin Xiao shook her head feebly, now she desperately wanted to go back to Lin Family Village to see what happened here!

Yu Xilin seemed to see Lin Xiao's state of mind at this moment, and pondered:
"If not, I'll try to go back with you and see what happened."

When Lin Xiao heard Yu Xilin's suggestion, the smiling faces of the familiar village and Lan Lian and others appeared in front of his eyes.

She involuntarily nodded slightly, but then shook her head again, whispering:

"No need, Prince Helian will not agree to let me go, not to mention that I have issued a military order to solve the problem of people's difficulty in eating salt as soon as possible."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the time when they talked about everything.

It's just as if, the two of them still can't go back after all.

Ma San took the opportunity to complain in front of Xiyue and the others, but Xiyue was taken aback by this old guy who didn't care about anything, and actually forgot her purpose of coming.

After leaving the Chunfeng Building, the sun was already setting, and the vendors on both sides of the road had already closed their stalls and returned home.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the sky is full of yellow sand, making this small frontier town so lonely.

Lin Xiao followed behind Yu Xilin absent-mindedly, his mind was full of Ma San's phrase "the master is great", and the worries in his heart became stronger than waves.

Do you want to find a way to get in touch with Li Yuyan?

But Lord Hao Lian strictly guards him, can he get in touch with Li Yuyan?
or
Lin Xiao looked up at Yu Xilin who was walking ahead, hesitating for a while.

As if feeling Lin Xiao's entanglement, Yu Xilin stopped, and was about to turn around to say something to Lin Xiao when he saw a figure running towards them not far away.

It is Ma San's youngest son Xiao Ma.

Panting, he ran up to the three of them and said to Lin Xiao:
"Da Lin is the head of the family. My father didn't explain this clearly. After thinking about it, I still feel the need to explain it to you."

Hearing Xiao Ma's name for him, Lin Xiao's face showed a touch of surprise. He thought that his attire could hide his true identity, but Ma San and the others had already seen his true identity!

"Isn't it possible that the Lin Family Village will be raided by the imperial court?"

Lin Xiao asked with a sob.

The pony nodded, then shook his head again:
"It's not Lin's Village, it's Brother's Workshop."
