Jade spy border

In the hot spring village at the foot of the southeastern foothills of Linnan Mountain, Chen Huanzhang was holding a book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book. He just leaned on the fur-covered armchair and looked at the distant mountains outside the hot spring pavilion in trance.

The Meng family's ointment has been made, and Chen Huanzhang was very satisfied after seeing it. The smell, the ointment, and the instant changes after use are all very good. As for the long-term effect, it is the work of the ninth lady of the Mi family. , not only was he not worried, but he was full of expectations.

After getting this cream, the first thing Chen Huanzhang thought of was to give it to the ninth lady of the Mi family to have a look, and give some to her for use first. After all, her plateau red and black face, after using this cream, should There may be some changes. Although she knows that she may not care about these appearance things, which woman in this world still doesn't care about her appearance?

Chen Huanzhang searched around, but the ninth lady of the Mi family disappeared as if she had never appeared. Even her eldest uncle, Meng, didn't know where she had gone. At present, there seems to be no change inside and outside Linnan City on the surface, and everything is as it should be, but secretly it is turbulent. Even inside and outside the mountain gate, which has always stood proudly outside the world, there have been many changes.

Although the ninth lady of the Mi family left the mountain gate and went down the mountain, there was no trace at this juncture. Chen Huanzhang had some doubts in his heart, whether she was still involved, but selfishly denied this matter. After all, he did not want She, a girl, was really involved in this bloody fight.

But whether he got it from Meng or Mei Wu Niang, through insinuations and secret observations, he still couldn't ignore this possibility.

With his mind in a hurry, Chen Huanzhang picked up the herbal tea on the table and was about to take a sip, but he only heard a clear voice coming over: "Is Mr. Chen's illness recovered? Sitting in the waterside pavilion blowing the wind and drinking herbal tea on such a day ?”

Chen Huanzhang turned his head in disbelief and looked at Mi Yuyan who came out of the screen. He was a little speechless for a moment, but he quickly explained: "No, no, this tea is still hot, and there is a hot spring under the water pavilion. It's not cold!"

Mi Yuyan didn't speak, but had a look of disbelief. She took a few steps forward, and then Chen Yuanting remembered something and asked, "But how did Hua Niang come in so quietly? Where is Chen Shengren?"

Mi Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Chen, you don't have to blame others. It's too easy for me to get in here. I heard my aunt said you were looking for me. Is there something wrong?"

Chen Huanzhang was stunned. He didn't expect that Mi Yuyan would point out his extraordinary skills directly, and his heart tightened: "Where has Hua Niang been these past few days? There is some unrest outside, you..."

Mi Yuyan raised her eyebrows with a smile, with an expression like "Look at me standing in front of you, what are you doing?" Chen Huanzhang quickly changed his words: "The main thing is that your ointment has been prepared. The Meng family has made some When the sample comes out, I thought I’d show it to you, and if you think it’s okay, you can use it first.”

"Sit down and I'll get it for you."

Mi Yuyan was noncommittal. She couldn't use the spice-mixed paste at the moment, but Yu Wanzhen could use it. Thinking of this, she didn't stop Chen Huanzhang.

Chen Huanzhang just raised his feet when he heard Chen Sheng's voice coming from far away: "Sir, the kitchen just got some good cold-water fish. You didn't eat well for lunch..."

Chen Sheng turned around from behind the screen with a food box, and suddenly saw Mi Yuyan there, and immediately fell silent. He only went to the kitchen to bring some food, but why was there more people there, but he hurriedly greeted Mi Yuyan : "Ninth Lady is here. The freshly fried cold water stick fish has only one thorn. You can use some together."

Chen Huanzhang looked at Chen Sheng with an expression on his face and was about to speak, but Mi Yuyan responded with a smile: "It smells quite fragrant. Thank you very much. Could you please pour me another cup of tea?"

Chen Sheng glanced at his father, and quickly did his duty. He moved closer to take out the fried fish and fermented rice cakes from the food box, and responded: "Yes, Ninth Lady, please wait for a while. The kitchen bought a large basket and returned it." There are plenty, I’ll bring some more over.”

As the food box is opened, the unique aroma of hot oil mixed with fish wafts out instantly. The cold water stick fish in Linnan Mountain is a rare good thing, especially for the weak and injured. For people, it is an excellent supplement.

For some reason, Mi Yuyan suddenly thought of the injured Mr. Chen. The blood shed in the morning still made her feel a little guilty. She knew that he was an injured person, but she ignored him. After a good argument, I fought with him, pursed my lips, and simply said: "If you have more, can you pack some for me? It may be of some use."

Chen Huanzhang saw that Mi Yuyan was not polite to him at all. He didn't know why, but he felt very good. He said to Chen Sheng, "I'll blow them up and let Ninth Lady take them away. I'll go make a new pot of tea and bring back yesterday's tea." Please bring three boxes of ointment."

Chen Sheng hurriedly accepted the promise and walked out. Mi Yuyan did not show politeness to Chen Huanzhang. She directly picked up the only pair of chopsticks on the table, picked up a fish first, and then started to eat by herself. She saw Chen Huanzhang looking at her with a good look. , as if he suddenly realized something, he swallowed the fish in his mouth and then explained: "I just came from outside, my hands are not clean, let me use the chopsticks."

Chen Huanzhang laughed and shook his head. Was he concerned about the pair of chopsticks? However, he didn't know what he was worrying about. He just shook his head and sat back on his chair, then adjusted his mind and said: "I have asked my mother-in-law to take care of the balm. During the year and outside, It will make a name for itself in Nan Ou. It will also spread quickly in Dayun."

He paused again before saying: "If you agree, I may find a workshop in the east to make some, so as not to worry about the beginning and end."

Mi Yuyan looked at Chen Huanzhang with an indifferent expression: "Just do what you want. Mr. Chen knows what I want. I won't ask about the rest."

Chen Huanzhang shook his head: "Favours are favors, and business is business. We businessmen also have to follow the rules. In terms of profits, according to business rules, we split the money 50-50. I will record the money separately for you and will not give it to the rice." Home, what do you think of this, girl?"

Mi Yuyan glanced at Chen Huanzhang in surprise, but still slowly ate the fish with only one thorn. The fish meat was delicate and sweet, and the light salting made the fish meat more delicious. She finished the fish slowly, taking the whole fish with her. He placed the fish bones with the fish heads on the bone plate on the table and nodded: "Okay, just do whatever Mr. Chen likes."

When Chen Huanzhang saw Mi Yuyan agreeing, he didn't know why, but he felt much more at ease. She wanted this money to prove that she would always come back...

"However, I will have to go to Nanou sooner or later. If the Mi family has any difficulties in the future, please ask Mr. Chen to use this money to help!"

Now that the Mi family has Mi Yuyan's fragrant prescriptions, what kind of difficulties can they have for a while? Chen Huanzhang thought of this and looked at Mi Yuyan with a frown: "No, you will be fine. You will be back sooner or later. , when the time comes, this money will be your family fortune. I will sell it to many places, sell it well, and earn you a lot of money!" Mi Yuyan looked at Chen Huanzhang in surprise, and smiled slightly: "I didn't say that I'm not coming back. I'm looking for someone. If I don't come back, how can I bring someone back? I'm just saying this. Mr. Chen just listens to it. After all, things are impermanent!"

Chen Huanzhang was about to say something, but Chen Sheng came over with freshly brewed tea and a small bag in his hand, which contained the balm. After putting it down, he bowed and quickly retreated to the kitchen.

Mi Yuyan was not going to be polite to Chen Huanzhang anyway, so she poured the tea herself, poured out the remaining tea in Chen Huanzhang's tea cup, and gave him a new cup of tea. When she saw him silently picking up the tea cup and drinking tea, she smiled again: " The weather is not good these days. It is comfortable to live in Zhuangzi outside the city. However, Mr. Chen’s body is not suitable for bathing in hot springs. It is better to move back to the city. After all, once it rains in the mountains, it will be cold. Very good!"

Hearing this, Chen Huanzhang narrowed his eyes. He was instantly convinced that Mi Yuyan's absence these days must be related to the recent events in Linnancheng. After all, when he said he would move to a hot spring villa to recuperate, She still agreed very much, but just a few days ago, she suddenly changed her statement. How could a smart person like him not be suspicious?

"It's Shanmen... Isn't it peaceful recently?" Chen Huanzhang asked tentatively.

Mi Yuyan smiled and shook her head. Originally, she shouldn't have mentioned this matter, but Chen Huanzhang, I have to say, is really a good and decent person, especially after learning from Ning De that he actually held The talisman given by Master Ningping found Shanmen just to save the life of his business rival Huang Chifeng.

Mi Yuyan has always known that Chen Huanzhang is a smart man. Talking to a smart man would be boring if he makes too many detours, but she still wouldn't say what shouldn't be said, and instead asked: "Why did Mr. Chen save the Hengsheng man? "

Chen Huanzhang obviously did not expect that Mi Yuyan would suddenly ask about this matter. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's just business, how can it be compared with human life? Besides, without the Hengsheng, there are still the Guangsheng and Dongsheng, so we can't do it..."

"But where did Hua Niang learn about this?"

Mi Yuyan smiled: "That's what Mr. Chen thought. Don't worry. I have the protection of Shanmen. Nothing will happen to me. Since Mr. Chen is a businessman, he just needs to do business well. I hope that in the future, Mr. Chen can become a The biggest wealthy businessman in Dayun!"

Chen Huanzhang raised the corner of his mouth, but only showed a wry smile. Yes, since Shanmen asked her to do things, he would naturally protect her. How can he help? As for Dayun's biggest wealthy businessman, it's just a joke: "I just like to do business to make money, but I'm not that ambitious. Hua Niang, don't make fun of me, I will do business well!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Sheng came in with a food box. Mi Yuyan was not polite. She took the box of cold water stick fish and stood up to leave. After thinking about it, she turned around and said: " It’s been dry and not raining all day, and it’s very boring. Heavy rain is really coming soon, so move back to the city quickly!”

If Chen Huanzhang still didn't understand such a pun, all his years of traveling around would be in vain. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"

Mi Yuyan knew that Chen Huanzhang had heard clearly, and left immediately without looking back.

After going up the mountain, Mi Yuyan delivered the food box directly to Chen Yuanting. Then he noticed that the guard standing behind him had changed again. This person stood there quietly. Somehow, Mi Yuyan I just feel that they are a little different from those of his guards in the past.

"What is this?" Chen Yuanting asked with raised eyebrows.

Mi Yuyan pursed her lips: "The food on the mountain is light. Injuries like yours need to be repaired. The war is coming. You have to get well soon. Besides, it was my fault that you shed the blood in the morning..."

Chen Yuanting seemed to open the food box and answered casually: "It's cold water fish. This kind of fish is really delicious and very expensive. Where did you get so many of them?"

Mi Yuyan was speechless. Is this the point? But even if she understood what Chen Yuanting wanted to hear, even if it wasn't this, she wouldn't hesitate. Anyway, she didn't hide the fact about her going down the mountain. He must have known that she was going down the mountain. Why did she suddenly go down the mountain at such a time? Everyone. We are all understanding people, so there is no need to pretend to be confused.

"I went down the mountain and asked my eldest aunt. She didn't know much, but she confirmed that my grandmother is actually my maternal grandmother."

Chen Yuanting looked at Mi Yuyan with some surprise. He didn't know what was the reason for her sudden change. Previously, she had always been reluctant to have anything to do with the Nie family and the Zuo family. The main reason was that she didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court.

As soon as Mi Yuyan saw Chen Yuanting's look, she knew what he meant. Dang even took out the mutton-fat jade plaque from her arms, put it on the table in front of Chen Yuanting, and said softly: "My grandmother left it .”

When Chen Yuanting saw the jade tablet, his eyes instantly shrank, and King Guangnan standing behind him was also shocked.

Chen Yuanting had seen this jade tablet in the secret files of the Dragon Cavalry Guards, and also knew that the Nie family had such a jade tablet. After what happened to the Nie family, the then King of Guangnan once mentioned it in the Golden Palace. The Nie family has a jade plaque granted by Taizu, and he is a hero of Dayun. He should not be sentenced to such a serious crime as beheading the whole family.

Emperor Zhaoning was a bachelor, and wanted to scare the monkeys. The Golden Palace refuted King Guangnan: "They have jade tablets to protect their lives but they don't show them. This is deliberately despising the emperor and threatening him with death. In this case, King Guangnan Do you still want to speak for such criminal ministers who deceive the king? Is it possible that the King of Guangnan has the same thoughts as his Nie family?"

"Although Taizu gave the jade plaque, it was Taizu's grace, but Taizu never said in his last words that ministers can disrespect the king, right?"

Under such circumstances, the Nie family never took out this jade plaque, and even kept silent about it. Now that I think about it, the Nie family is really...

Chen Yuanting picked up the jade plaque very respectfully, and used an angle that even the King of Guangnan could see to clearly display the hidden cloud character on the jade plaque, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart...
