There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 642 The Princess' Small Business
In the dilapidated yard, Yang Zhilan stood there like a flock of chickens.

There were little kids all around, holding her hand, tugging on her clothes, or shouting "Sister Bodhisattva" happily.

The little faces were dirty but full of smiles from the heart.

Su Xian stood in the corner of the courtyard, feeling the "help" look from her, feeling both sighing and amused in her heart——

The dignified number one assassin of the inner guard was trapped by a group of brats, and his whole body was frozen there.

However, Yang Zhilan, who has always been expressionless and calm to the point of indifference, can show a look of "asking for help" in her eyes, indicating that she has made progress and at least gained a little breath.

Yan Dashan was talking to the old man in the orphanage. He was a warm-hearted man. He not only donated all the banknotes he had, but also told the orphanage to go to Yanfu for help if anything happened.

The old man was naturally very grateful...

After a while, everyone came to a dilapidated house.

Inside lay an eleven or twelve-year-old sick boy. It was said that this boy was secretly sent here by Yang Zhilan. At that time, he was covered in sickness and almost died.

Later, thanks to Yang Zhilan secretly sending several hundred taels of silver, and the old man at the orphanage calling for a doctor, the little boy managed to save his life.

The little boy is still ill and cannot get out of bed. He wants to see Sister Bodhisattva every day, and now Yang Zhilan is here.

The little boy was so excited that he burst into tears and choked with sobs: "I don't know where my parents are, and my life is like grass. If it weren't for the help of Sister Bodhisattva, I would have been dead long ago..."

After crying for a while, the little boy took out something from his close-fitting clothes. It seemed to be a necklace. He handed it to Yang Zhilan without hesitation and said:

"This is probably the only thing my parents left me. I almost starved to death before, but I was reluctant to pawn it... Now I will give it to Sister Bodhisattva."

"I wish Sister Bodhisattva no illness, no disaster, happiness and good health, all the best, and can eat meat every day!"

"..."

Yang Zhilan glanced at the necklace, but didn't accept it.

Su Xian took it on her behalf and said, "This is the most precious thing and contains the blessings of others. You can wear it around your neck every day."

This is indeed a necklace, the rope is relatively ordinary.

However, the pendant is a piece of beautiful jade, the size of a thumb, in the shape of a fish, surrounded by waves, and the fish scales are inlaid with gold wire, which looks very exquisite.

……

After two cups of tea, Su Xian and his party walked out of the orphanage.

Yang Zhilan breathed a long sigh of relief, and her body that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed slowly.

The experience just now was tantamount to a kind of torture for her...

Back at the Hou Mansion, Su Xian found a skilled jewelry craftsman to repair the fish-shaped necklace on the spot and replace it with a simple but strong rope.

"Here, let me put it on for you." Su Xian held the exquisitely repaired necklace in both hands and turned to face Yang Zhilan.

Yang Zhilan's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously stepped back, staring at the necklace with burning eyes.

"Don't move!" Su Xian shouted in a deep voice.

Yang Zhilan's expression changed slightly, and she immediately didn't dare to hide anymore.

"That's right!" Su Xian put it on for her personally and told her not to take it off no matter what. This was a blessing from others, and the commemoration was of great significance.

"..."

In a blink of an eye, it was night.

In Liu Huixiang's bedroom.

The newly built embroidered piece withstood the "violent storm" for a full hour, and it was only in the dead of night that it was "treated gently".

At this time, Su Xian had fallen into a deep sleep.

Listening to his slight snoring, Liu Huixiang also felt sleepy.

However, in the darkness, her beautiful eyebrows gradually knitted together. Lying on her side, she gently stroked her belly with one hand... Why hasn't her belly gotten bigger after so long? !
……

……

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Su Xian put on a python robe, left the mansion, crossed the Tianjin Bridge, entered the imperial city through "Duanmen", rushed to the "South Gate of Luocheng" on the west side of the imperial city, then entered the "Baocheng", and finally came to the Neiwei Yamen.

He is now the leader of the small pavilion of the inner guard, and he is also a famous person around the queen. No one dares to take care of him. Even if he doesn't come to the inner guard Yamen for a meal, it will be fine.

However, he had to make some arrangements.

The first thing to do is to promote Yang Zhilan.

Under the small pavilion leader, there was a deputy named "little pavilion master". Su Xian directly promoted Yang Zhilan to be the junior pavilion master.If Su Xian is not available, she can perform her duties on Su Xian's behalf.

In addition, there is an important position under the small cabinet leader, called "inspector envoy". There are usually several people, who are the powerful assistants of the small cabinet leader in managing various local institutions.

Su Xian directly promoted Lady Poison to be the "inspector".

As for the subordinates of the former Pavilion Leader, the former Inspector, etc., Su Xian was not polite and beat them all to the end.

Then their abilities will be assessed one by one. Those who can continue to stay at the Neiwei Yamen headquarters will be kept. Those who do not meet the requirements will be transferred to local agencies as "hall leaders".

In addition, Su Xian, the desk clerk who handles paperwork, also underwent a major change...

After finishing these things, most of the morning passed.

Su Xian thought about the time and should be able to rush back to the Hou Mansion to have lunch with Liu Huixiang.

He immediately set off, leaving Debao City through the "South Gate of Luo City" and arriving at the Imperial City. Unexpectedly, when he passed by the gate of Princess Lanling's Mansion, he happened to meet Princess Lanling who was returning from the next court.

The princess invited him to have lunch with him.

Su Xian thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

……

In Princess Lanling's Mansion, in a certain flower hall, Su Xian and the princess sat opposite each other. The palace maid served a table full of delicacies like butterflies piercing flowers.

"How are you doing in the inner guard? Have you encountered anything difficult?" Princess Lanling asked for food.

"Fortunately, the Grand Pavilion Leader readily agrees to my request every time, and with His Majesty's support, I don't encounter any difficulties." Su Xian said while eating.

"..."

When Princess Lanling heard the words "Your Majesty supports you", Emei raised her eyebrows slightly, but quickly ignored the matter, had a drink with Su Xian and said:

"You in the internal defense must have heard about the situation in the Liao Kingdom in the north. It seems that the situation is very bad at present... We have underestimated the determination and ability of King Nantu and his eldest son Nalanxiong before."

"Not bad!" Su Xian put down his chopsticks, swallowed all the food in his mouth and said in a deep voice: "What do the prime ministers and His Majesty think? How do they plan to deal with it?"

Princess Lanling also put down her chopsticks, looked up at Su Xian and said slowly:

"According to my understanding of Your Majesty, Your Majesty... is very likely to send a capable person to Hebei Province to guard against changes in the Liao Kingdom."

"Who will your Majesty send?" Su Xian secretly guessed, would he send Princess Lanling again?

"His Majesty will most likely send... you!"

"Me!?" Su Xian was surprised.

"That's right. After all, you have joined the inner guard and assumed an important position as the leader of the small cabinet. Your ability has been recognized by His Majesty, and your title..."

"..."

Su Xian's title is "Marquis of Founding County" and title is "Marquis of Fanyang County". Fanyang County is his "fief", and Fanyang County is located in Youzhou, Hebei Province!
Youzhou is the first gateway in the northeast to resist the Liao Kingdom's southward invasion.

In addition, the other four small pavilion leaders of the inner guard are all traveling outside. He is also one of the small pavilion leaders. How can he enjoy the comfort in the capital of God?

Su Xian smiled bitterly and instantly figured out the key.

From this point of view, it is indeed very possible for the Queen to send him to take charge of Hebei Province.

Princess Lanling picked up her chopsticks and continued eating, and asked:
"This matter shouldn't be finalized so quickly. Let's not talk about this... By the way, does Fan Yanghou still remember the business of cooperating with the Lin family on the flame vegetable sugar making business?"

"Naturally remember."

"After I returned to Beijing from Hebei Province, I sent people to investigate. The flame vegetable sugar business... I am afraid that the Lin family and Marquis Fan Yang alone cannot control it."

"Princess also intends to participate in the cooperation?" Su Xian looked at Princess Lanling in astonishment. At the same time, Chen Keyan's figure emerged in his mind. I wonder how her salt-making business is doing?Both princesses seem to like doing some "small business".

"nature……"

At the moment, the two of them were chatting about the joint sugar-making business while eating.

and redistributed the method of benefit distribution.

Su Xian, the princess, and the Lin family all share the same interests...

As for whether the Lin family will agree, Princess Lanling has not considered this issue at all. If she does not agree, she will be kicked out of the cooperation.

After talking about cooperating in sugar production, lunch was almost finished.

Princess Lanling wiped the corners of her mouth with silk, looked at Su Xian and smiled:

"In addition, there is the matter of jade bras and silk stockings... Na Luo Xiu Niang has recently tinkered with a new style, and she also has some ideas for silk stockings."

Su Xian suddenly became alert at this moment.

Is the princess afraid that he will suddenly take orders to go to Hebei Province, so she has finalized the cooperation in sugar production, new jade masks, and stockings in advance?
Princess Lanling saw Su Xianfa was startled and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Then Luo Xiu Niang is chanting your name every day. I will take you to see her right now. By the way, does Fan Yanghou really not consider taking Luo Xiu Niang home as a concubine?"
