"Then you... But it's agreed, only fifty catties?" Fang Shengde heard their conversation, and now he made a sound.

Yan Jue nodded and said: "Okay, just follow what my wife said, if we are short of salt again by then, we will come again."

There is no reason not to make money when there is a business delivered to your door. Fang Shengde's eyes glistened when he thought of those gold and silver taels.

"It's just that I don't know how much the owner of the house sells us for a catty of salt."

Since this is a big deal, and it doesn't look like they are short of money, Fang Shengde asked tentatively, "Fifty Wen a catty, what do you think?"

Fang Shengde was a little worried. After all, he sold this kind of inferior salt for ten Wen a catty. Would it be too expensive if it was fifty Wen?

Yan Jue showed surprise, "Boss Fang, are you sure you only need fifty Wen a catty?"

"I'm sure, I'm a businessman and I won't tell lies."

Seeing Yan Jue's expression, Fang Shengde still didn't change his words, and continued to insist.

Who knew that the two guest officials in front of them were full of doubts on their faces, "Is it really only fifty yuan? The government sells salt for one or two catties, and you only sell it for fifty yuan, which is too cheap." Bar!"

Yan Jue looked at Shen Pingjin with joy on his face, "Lady, it seems that our trip to the south of the Yangtze River was not wrong. When we return to the southwest, we must thank Shangguan's family well!"

"Shangguan's house?" Fang Shengde breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the two didn't think it was too expensive, and that the price he paid was very cheap.

But when he heard about Shangguan's family, Fang Shengde became a little nervous again.

Does anyone in the Southwest know that they sell private salt here?
"That's right, that's right, it's the Shangguan's house." Yan Jue nodded, with a puzzled look on his face, "Boss Fang, what's wrong with this Shangguan's house? I see that your complexion was a little bad when you heard this, is it because you're not feeling well, or..."

"No, no, no, I'm in good health, and I don't know this Shangguan family!" Fang Shengde hastily denied, anyway, he was only working for others, and when things happen, as long as you don't blame yourself, it will be a small problem .

"It's good that Boss Fang is fine." Yan Jue nodded, thoughtfully, and continued to ask: "Boss Fang, when do you plan to make these fifty catties of salt, and when are you going to deliver them?"

It takes time to make salt, Yan Jue asked with a smile on his face, he planned to use the time given by Fang Shengde to conduct a tug-of-war and secretly investigate.

Fang Shengde thought for a while, and said: "Moyue only needs ten days, so that Mr. Xi can come here again in ten days, and I will definitely prepare fifty catties of salt and put it here. You will applaud it when the time comes." Just come with the carriage and people.”

"Only ten days?" Yan Jue was slightly surprised.

This made Fang Shengde a little proud, "That's natural, we can make salt very fast!"

"That's good, I'll be here on time!"

Fang Shengde laughed, raised his hand and said: "I am here to welcome Mr. Xi!"

"Now that we've settled the conversation, my wife and I will go back. I have heard that Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has beautiful scenery. Today, my wife and I plan to visit the grass market here!"

As a native of Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, Fang Shengde was very proud when he heard someone praise his hometown like this. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Mr. Xi, go slowly, see you in ten days!"

Yan Jue smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Boss Fang, for your hospitality. It is said that southerners are hospitable, and now it seems that it is true."

"..." Fang Shengde felt a little guilty when he heard this, after all, he was wary of the identities of these two at the beginning.

He stuffed the knife hidden in his sleeve, and Fang Shengde responded with a smile.

Shen Pingjin didn't speak the whole time. When the two walked out of the first courtyard, Shen Pingjin only felt that the air was fresh.

She frowned and glanced at Yan Jue, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at acting."

Yan Jue saw the complexity from her expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't know much."

Shen Pingjin: "For example?"

"Cough cough." This can be said, Yan Jue decided to shut up.

"Ten days later, we will come again."

"Do you really want to buy fifty catties of salt?" Shen Pingjin said again: "You know, we are not from the Southwest, we are from the capital, and there are no second aunts or third mothers in the family, but I do have an older brother, But I heard that someone seems to be quite afraid of him!"

Hearing that Shen Pingjin was angry at him, Yan Jue was not angry, but said: "After we two get married, Shen Ling is not only your brother, but also my brother. Since he is my brother, this king naturally has to respect him. For your sake."

Shen Pingjin chuckled and exposed him without hesitation: "Are you afraid of my brother?!"

Yan Jue: "..."

He doesn't want to lose face.

Not to mention that Shen Ling is fine, when it comes to Shen Ling, Shen Pingjin is a little worried. After all, his brother has been in the military camp for more than half a year, and he doesn't know how his health is, whether he is eating well.

The last time she returned home, her brother didn't come. The emperor ordered that the two get married, but he wasn't there either.If she didn't know that her elder brother had a special status, she might think that her elder brother lives in seclusion in a paradise, and they don't want their family anymore!

Seeing that Shen Pingjin was silent, Yan Jue also noticed the thoughts hidden in her eyes, and decisively changed the subject.

"Shen Pingjin, you were in the room just now, why didn't you speak?"

If he hadn't been negotiating with Fang Shengde, maybe he would reveal his secret this time.

Shen Pingjin looked up at him: "I didn't stop talking, it's just... for some reason, there was an aura in that room that made me uncomfortable."

As if thinking of something, Shen Pingjin looked at Yan Jue: "Yan Jue, did you bring Chu Jin with you?"

Yan Jue shook his head: "Chu Jin is not with me, Chu Jin is in the inn, have you forgotten?"

"Look at my memory..." Shen Pingjin rubbed his head, wondering what's wrong with him, why he has been absent-minded.

Yan Jue also noticed something was wrong with Shen Pingjin, frowned slightly and said, "Are you feeling unwell? If you are unwell, we will go back as soon as possible."

Hearing Yan Jue's words, Shen Pingjin also felt a little uncomfortable, with a slight pain in her abdomen, and her heart was very hot from time to time. Not only that, she also felt a little itchy after staying in a closed and dark room for a long time.

"Then let's go quickly."

"it is good."

Yan Jue and Shen Pingjin quickened their walking pace, and when they passed the last yard, Shen Pingjin saw the dark-skinned man again.

He lay on the ground with blank eyes, and when he noticed Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue approaching, a stern look flashed across his eyes.

Shen Pingjin was a little surprised, how did she and Yan Jue offend him, and it wasn't like this when she walked over just now.
