Fish porridge and steamed buns were brought to the table, and a group of people sat around.

He Lan Linzhang changed into white clothes, without a mask, and her long hair tied high looked elegant and elegant.

Ping An said foolishly, "Uncle Wang Ye is so pretty!"

Helan Linzhang picked up a piece of fish for him, and said, "Eat well, this is the fish your Uncle Jin caught this morning, it's very fresh."

Ping An eats sweetly like a piglet, "Yeah, it's delicious."

Luo Xiyao refused him to bring food, "Eat well, don't you have to go to Yanhui County at noon?"

He Lan Linzhang couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, when you return to the motorcade, you won't be so free."

"It's safe." Luo Xiyao said.

Ping An thought she was calling him, and raised her head to look at her.

Luo Xiyao said: "I didn't call you, eat."

"Oh."

After using the morning food, Ding Zhen began to process the herbs that Hongming brought to replenish what he had consumed these days. He didn't have enough herbs on his body, so he felt unsafe.

Leave the safety to the thin man, since he has to recuperate anyway, it is best not to walk back and forth.

Luo Xiyao and He Lan Linzhang walked onto the deck, he looked at the two cargo ships not far away, and said: "It just so happens that the boat that Hong Ming is looking for is the boat of the salt merchant Zhou's family."

"The Zhou family?" Luo Xiyao didn't know much about merchants, but when she was in the capital, she had never heard of the Zhou family, so it was conceivable that the Zhou family had no official positions.

But if you think about it, you can't do business if you are an official. Eastern Qi has always looked down on merchants and farmers. Even if Princess Ronghui didn't stir up civil strife, and there was no disaster from heaven, Eastern Qi would be in turmoil sooner or later.

"Speaking of which, Hongming was able to get through the relationship with the Zhou family this time, thanks to you."

In her previous life, she had no chance to get out of the Luo Mansion in Pingcheng, and before she was tortured by Su Jiayan's fraudulent marriage, her memory will always be the four-cornered sky in the side courtyard.

If it weren't for some fragmentary childhood memories, Luo Xiyao wouldn't know why she persisted for so many years.

Is it for a truth?
still is……

But in this life, she woke up at just the right time. In order to survive, to change her fate, and to find out the truth about her tragic death in her previous life, she planned all the way, and she had no chance to manage any relationship at all.

Helan Linzhang pointed it out on purpose, which shows that the Zhou family has an unusual relationship with her.

Cross out enemies, not to mention friends, there are only a handful of people who can live in peace.

"Is it Yuru? Qian Yuru?"

Isn't the reason why Qian Yuru was bullied by her stepmother and sold to the second prince's courtyard because she didn't have a mother?
It was impossible for her to jump out of the cracks in the rocks. Thinking about it carefully, she was able to live smoothly without being killed, which showed that Master Qian still had some fears.

When Luo Xiyao spoke again, she was already very sure, "The Zhou family of the salt merchant is Qian Yuru's mother family? It seems that there is a story here."

He Lan Linzhang nodded and said yes, "Qian Yuru's mother is the second concubine of the Zhou family. She was accidentally lost when she was young. When the Zhou family found her, she died of illness, and Qian Yuru also entered the second prince's residence. I don't know if Qian Yuru How did you tell the Zhou family? After that, the Zhou family left the capital very quickly. It took so many years to find someone. It was all because of the turmoil in the Zhou family. The winner of the turmoil was the Zhou family's twelfth man, the second son of the Zhou family, Same as Qian Yuru's mother."

"Salt merchants are so rich, it's not easy to secure the position of patriarch." Luo Xiyao tapped the teacup twice, and said: "Either he is ruthless and can do what others can't; or he has someone behind him to support, Zhou No one in the family dares to mess with it. But there is a big difference. Either he eliminates dissidents and has truly taken control of the Zhou family, or he is just a puppet on the table."

She looked at Helan Linzhang with a smile on her face, "Which type is he? I guess it's the first type."

If it was a puppet, Qian Yuru might not dare to pass on the news, and even if Hongming had a token in hand, the Zhou family might not believe it.

"Smart." He Lan Linzhang helped her add tea, "Mr. Zhou suddenly became seriously ill. When the Zhou family was in chaos, Zhou Xuening found an opportunity to get in touch with Qian Yuru, and thus knew that Bai Yanwen joined hands to undertake the contract in order to profit from the tribute. The Engong Mansion was raising bandits, so he took a delivery opportunity from the Zhou family and sent news to the water bandits. In order to win Mr. Zhou's favor, all the sons and daughters of all parties died in that transaction. Soon after, Mr. Zhou also went. "

"In order to stabilize the status of the Zhou family's salt merchant, Zhou Xuening married a wife. His wife said that she was the granddaughter of the late academician Qi Fang, but the Qi family died in the flames of war. Several of Mr. Qi's students met him. Little granddaughter? Even if they have met, after so many years, they may not recognize the girl when she grows up."

"Someone has seen this Mrs. Qi and said that she is very similar to Shiyue, the third head of the water dragon gang, the largest water bandit in the south. Unfortunately, this Mrs. Qi's boudoir name is Shiyue."

He Lan Linzhang smiled and said: "Anyway, Zhou Xuening of the Zhou family is firmly seated at the head of the Chamber of Commerce. Even if someone questions the death of the Zhou family's direct lineage, they only dare to discuss it in private."

"So that's how it is." Luo Xiyao took a sip of tea and said, "One has a brain, the other has a weapon, two swords combined, that's all."

He Lan Linzhang didn't raise his head and said: "Aren't you and I too?"

Luo Xiyao was greatly surprised by his directness, but considering the intimacy last night and the heart-to-heart talk this morning, it seems that there is no need to be surprised, "You are right. We are not only two swords, we are also a perfect match."

"Why?" Helan Linzhang raised his eyes to look at her, "Madam, are you satisfied with your husband's appearance?"

Luo Xiyao rolled her eyes, "It's not just satisfied, I'm going to feel inferior! Hahaha!"

Helan Linzhang knew that she did this on purpose, raised her face to greet her, and said to herself: "From now on, I will be responsible for my husband's beauty, is it possible?"

Luo Xiyao said with a smile: "Yes! Why not?"

She waved her hand, "I am in charge of smoothing out the thorns, and you are in charge of singing and applauding."

As she spoke, she picked up the teacup and drank it down, but she choked on the water and coughed non-stop.

Helan Linzhang glared at her, "You don't drink water when you talk, and you don't talk when you drink water. Even Ping An wouldn't make such a mistake, but you...really, just like this, you still clear the thorns? Use saliva? Let me tell you , Your priority now is to take care of your body. Although the time spent in the underground palace is much shorter than we imagined, you and I know whether there are internal injuries."

"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Xiyao had a look of admiration, as if she didn't care after losing face, she was... very relaxed in front of him.

I have to say, this feeling of laissez-faire is very good.

"Would you like to take a look on the deck?" He Lan Linzhang asked.

Only then did Luo Xiyao think of the voice she heard in the morning, "What happened in the morning? But Zhou's boat didn't obey the rules?"

"It was they who wanted to send the fish over. Hong Ming said that I was recuperating from my injuries, and I only took the fish, but didn't keep anyone."

"Zhou Xuening and his wife aren't on board, are they?"

He Lan Linzhang said: "When we boarded the boat, Hong Ming touched their bottom..."

At this time, Hong Ming's voice came from outside the door, "My lord, my concubine, the steward of the Zhou family is here, saying that the head of his family wants to visit."
