The Queen's Concubine can't be provoked

Chapter 82 The Treasure Pavilion

Hearing Wei Chenyuan's question, Yunlin frowned, and after a while, he spoke again, "It will probably take more than ten days, but it is enough for us to prepare. After they arrive, don't let them stay at the border for too long. Make a stop, rest for a day at most, and then set off back to the imperial capital."

"The general understands." Wei Chenyuan naturally knew what Yunlin meant, and the reason why he came here from the imperial capital was to deploy ahead of time.

Li country is not a few days away from the Xing'an Dynasty and has no contact with them. It is impossible not to doubt the sudden proposal of surrender and marriage, especially since ancient times, border gates have been the most important fortresses. In order to prevent Li people from attacking The idea of ​​border control, not allowing them to stay longer, is one of the preventive measures.

Of course, if Li Guo really had a different intention, he had already made preparations. I am afraid that this trick will not be able to hold back. It is still necessary to find reliable people to guard the border, just in case.

Wei Chenyuan thought about it carefully, looked at Yunlin and said, "The last general will go to the imperial capital with the prince this time. I don't know if there is someone for the prince to guard the frontier?"

"Doesn't the general have a son? He's a lieutenant again, so he's just right here." Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Lin named one of them. Wei Chenyuan couldn't help being a little surprised after hearing this.

"Although Gouzi is 17 years old, his heart is immature. I'm afraid he can't take on such a heavy responsibility." Wei Chenyuan knows best what his son is like, and he doesn't know who his son's personality is. Already seventeen, but his temperament is not calm at all.

"In that case, then please ask the emperor to send General Wei's nephew, and the two brothers will guard the northwest border together." Hearing what Wei Chenyuan said, Yunlin smiled, although he rarely He is reticent, but when talking about official affairs, he will say what should be said.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble the prince." After Yunlin finished speaking, Wei Chenyuan thought about it carefully, and found that this idea was very good. If his nephew traveled fast, he might arrive before he set off.

Although he hasn't seen his nephew for several years, Wei Chenyuan has heard it more than once, and has also received letters from his nephew in the past, knowing that he has a calm personality.

Being able to become a general at the age of 15 shows that his nephew is not an idle person. It is not bad for the two brothers to guard the border together.

The matter was settled just like that, and Yunlin didn't delay, and directly wrote a letter for Lie Feng to set off tomorrow morning and send it back to the imperial capital in person.

After everything was in order, everyone dispersed and rested separately.

"Cousin, do you have any private money?" Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Su Qin had already lived in the General's Mansion for two days. Early in the morning, she came to Wei Jiao's room, pulled her aside, and spoke asked.

"Private money?" Wei Jiao was a little puzzled, and then nodded, "My mother will give me some money every month to buy things. What do you want to buy? I'll take you to the street to buy."

"I don't lack anything. My aunt also made new clothes for me, and I also have food and drink. I was thinking, won't my grandma celebrate her birthday the day after tomorrow? You know where my things are, so I want to go to Let’s go down the street and pick out a gift for grandma.”

Although Wei Xin thoughtfully prepared some money for Su Qin so that she and Wei Jiao could go shopping and reward servants, but those were not enough to buy a gift, so Su Qin wanted to come to Wei Jiao, just as I borrowed it by myself, and I will return it to her when I return to the imperial capital.

"It turns out that's the case, then let's go to the street, I only have a few dozen taels of silver to use, and the things I can buy may not be very good, but it is a heart, and I think grandma will not dislike it. After hearing what Suqin had said, Wei Jiao nodded. Her brother had already asked her brother to prepare her gift, so she didn't need to prepare it alone, but her cousin, since she had such a heart, she would naturally fulfill it.

"Well, I'll go clean up, and then let's tell my aunt that we're going out?" Seeing Wei Jiao nodding, Su Qin was very happy, and the two of them cleaned up each, and after reporting to Wei Xin, they went out.

"Cousin, it turns out that the border market is very different from the imperial capital." Walking on the street, Su Qin felt that she had become a bumpkin again, and everything she saw was fresh. No wonder, since she came to ancient times, because For various reasons, I seldom go out, even less to go to the market, so naturally everything I see feels fresh.

"If you like something, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you." Seeing that Su Qin was happy, a smile appeared on Wei Jiao's face.

"Save the money. We'll use the rest of the money when we choose a gift for grandma." Blinking her eyes, Su Qin spoke solemnly, which made Wei Jiao a little helpless, but since she said so, she obeyed her That is, anyway, I can stay for many days, and then I will come out to play and eat and drink.

After walking on the street for a long time, Su Qin's eyes fell on the plaque of a shop. She stopped and looked into the shop curiously.

"This store is called Zhenbao Pavilion. It is a well-known store in our city. Besides some items from the customs, there are also items from other countries." Seeing that Suqin stopped, Wei Jiao turned to the store's plaque. After taking a look, he explained to Suqin.

"Then let's go in and have a look." Suqin's eyes lit up when she heard that there were items from other countries. Maybe she could find something suitable as a gift for her grandmother here.

Entering the store, there is a faint scent of pine, which makes people feel comfortable.

The store is not big, but there are many things in the store. There are many things that look very distinctive, but for Suqin, they are not suitable for gifting to the elderly.

Su Qin looked at it seriously, and Wei Jiao was by her side. From time to time, she would go to see things she was interested in and ask a few questions to the shopkeeper.

"Cousin, what do you think of this?" After looking at it for a long time, Su Qin's eyes suddenly fell on a piece of handle, which was a piece of suet white jade in the style of Songhe Yannian.

"The implication is good." After carefully looking at it, Wei Jiao asked the shopkeeper to take it out and played with it in his hands, "The tentacles are warm and cool, and the quality of the jade is also very good. How much is it?"

The shopkeeper knew Wei Jiao, after all, the guard at the border was Wei Jiao's father, and when she heard her question, the shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and then said, "To tell you the truth, Miss Wei, I brought this jade back from Xiliang. , if you want it, just give me 150 taels, this is a capital, I don’t want more from you.”

"150 taels?" Hearing the number, Su Qin frowned. The sum of the money on her and Wei Jiao's body was less than 100 taels of silver. I'm afraid that this jade would not be available.

"Can't it be cheaper? I don't have that much money on me." Hearing this number, Wei Jiao frowned, but she saw that Suqin liked this piece of jade very much, and it was indeed suitable for gifting, so she started to discuss it with.

"It's really for you, I really can't let it go, or are you looking at something else?" The shopkeeper said a little embarrassed, obviously he did get the reserve price, Suqin heard what he said, so he had no choice but to take the jade from Wei Jiao's hand, Going to return it to the store.

"Wrap up the jade." A familiar voice came from behind, and Su Qin turned her head in surprise, only to see Yun Lin standing at the door with her usual expressionless face, but her eyes fell on her. body...
