Resourceful beauty

Chapter 95
"Miss, are you going out today?"

After breakfast, Fang Ruxuan picked up the book and sat behind the desk to read it. Su Ye dawdled beside her for a long time and came over to ask in a low voice.

Laughing in her heart, but with a serious look on her face, Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing."

Seeing that Fang Ruxuan had no plans to go out, Su Ye agreed with some disinterest, and turned to get busy.

After a while, Fang Ruxuan's voice came from the inner room, "In the afternoon, you and Mu Mian can go out with me."

The main room was quiet for a while, and then, after saying "Thank you, miss", Su Ye happily lifted the curtain and went out, the footsteps running all the way seemed extraordinarily brisk.

On April [-]th, envoys from Yao Kingdom entered Beijing.

After taking a nap and getting up, Fang Ruxuan took kapok and Su Ye out. In the private room facing the street on the second floor of Huixian Building, Su Ye looked excitedly at the crowded crowd on the street, and praised: "It's still Miss is wise, she booked the private room early, otherwise, we would have been squeezed into pies right now."

Fang Ruxuan smiled, but her eyes were fixed on the carriage in the center of Yao Kingdom's envoy group.

If the news is correct, the person sitting in the carriage should be Xing Zhuo, the cabinet minister of Yao State.

"The envoy of the Yao Kingdom enters Beijing today. After getting settled in the post house, he will definitely enter the palace to meet the Holy Majesty at night. He will go to the Proton Mansion to meet Chu Yuan tomorrow. You will make an appointment with Chu Yuan for me the day after tomorrow."

Fang Ruxuan turned her head and said to Kapok.

Kapok nodded.

After watching the excitement, when I returned to King Qi's mansion, I saw that King Qi and Fang Zhengjun had both returned. Fang Ruxuan was a little surprised, "Daddy, do you want to attend the banquet in the palace?"

King Qi nodded with a smile, "They are here to borrow troops, and to discuss the military situation, I will naturally show up."

Fang Ruxuan paused in her heart: With the Holy Majesty's suspicion of his father, will he take the opportunity to ask his father to lead troops to Yao Country to help Yao Country resist border bandits?

After thinking about it, Fang Ruxuan directly denied it again. In this way, the Holy Majesty's intentions were too obvious, and it would definitely chill the hearts of those courtiers who respected their father. For the Holy Majesty, the gain outweighed the loss.

Reassured, Fang Ruxuan dragged Fang Zhengjun to play again.

King Qi sat in the Yixin Hall for a while, and then went to the Longxue Hall. When it was getting dark, King Qi brought Concubine Yun and Concubine Zhu into the palace for a banquet.

Upon hearing the news, Su Yuan, who had already dressed up meticulously, changed the shape of a hairpin in her hand.

Fang Ruxuan didn't know anything about the dinner, but it was a happy scene for the guests and hosts to enjoy together. On the second day, the envoy of Yao Kingdom went to the Proton Mansion to formally meet Chu Yuan.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Yuan was surrounded by a cloud of masters, and he himself was a man of kung fu, Fang Ruxuan really wanted to send Mu Mian to eavesdrop on what they said.

Chu Yuan was sent to Dayuan when he was young, and he has been away from his home country for so many years. I don't know if the courtiers of Yao country still respect him as a prince, or if they have long since regarded him as an abandoned son and ignored him.

If it's the latter, then Fang Ruxuan's expectations may be in vain.

As soon as the Proton Mansion entered the main hall, Chu Yuan and Xing Zhuo sat at the top of the court, one on the left and the other on the right. With Xing Zhuo.

If Fang Ruxuan was here, she would be extremely surprised: Xing Zhuo, who is already a cabinet minister, is so young.

Xing Zhuo was about 20 years old, wearing a black long gown, just like the ones worn by Chu Yuan in the past. Presumably, it was the traditional clothing of the Yao Kingdom.

The sleeves and collar are bordered with a two-finger-wide dark red border, which is extremely simple, but looks noble and generous.

With sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, firm lips and nose, Xing Zhuo has a strict temperament and is not easy to speak at a glance.

There was no one around Xuan Ranting, and the air seemed more and more silent. After a while, Chu Yuan asked, "How have you been these past few years?"

Xing Zhuo raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Yuan, "After all, it's just a hundred times better than you."

There was a familiarity between the words, as if the two were best friends.

Chu Yuan smiled slightly, "I'm in Dayuan, with rich clothes and fine food, and attendants everywhere I come and go. It seems to be as comfortable and comfortable as being in a paradise. Where you are, how can you be a hundred times better than me?"

"Whether it's intrigue or swordsmanship, you will always have peace of mind. And you? Year after year, thousands of days and nights, have you ever been able to sleep peacefully?"

Xing Zhuo stared deeply at the high black wall in the distance.

Chu Yuan was finally speechless.

Xing Zhuo smiled, "Don't worry, you've worked so hard for so many years and you're about to succeed. When you go back, I'll treat you to a drink on East Street."

It wasn't until the words he wanted to hear that Chu Yuan's expression finally showed a bit of real eagerness.

Holding the tea bowl beside him with one hand, Chu Yuan asked in a low voice, "How much longer?"

Xing Zhuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Seven or August at the fastest, and a year and a half at the slowest."

"A year and a half..."

Seeming to be sighing, but also looking forward to it, Chu Yuan's eyes followed the direction Xing Zhuo was staring at. After a while, he stood up and bowed to Xing Zhuo, "Thank you."

Chu Yuan raised his head again, and the seat in front of him was empty. Turning around, Xing Zhuo got up and drifted away slowly outside the door.

In the air, there was a faint sentence "I am waiting for the day when I get drunk."

After Xing Zhuo left, Chu Yuan sat alone in Xuan Ran Court for a long time, and it was not until the room was dark that Chu Yuan stood up, straightened his back and stretched.

The next moment, there was a slight sound outside the wall, and immediately after that, Kapok came in, bowing to Chu Yuan like a Jianghu person, "My lady has something to discuss with the young master, I wonder if the young master will be free tomorrow?"

Chu Yuan thought for a while and smiled, "I'll be waiting at Mingyue Residence in Huixian Tower."

Kapok nodded, turned around and went the way she came.

In the afternoon of the second day, Fang Ruxuan brought kapok to Huixian Building half an hour earlier, and when she opened the door and entered Mingyue Residence, Chu Yuan had already arrived.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan and Mu Mian arrived, Chu Yuan smiled, raised his voice to call Xiao Er, removed the food and drinks, and re-served the table.

"The princess is looking for me, but it is for the trade between the two countries?"

As soon as Fang Ruxuan sat down, Chu Yuan spoke straight to the point.

Fang Ruxuan was still astonished when she heard such words, knowing that Chu Yuan was unfathomable.

Fang Ruxuan asked with a smile: "How can Mr. Chu have such a guess?"

Chu Yuan shrugged, "Other than that, I really can't think of anything that the princess would have to meet with me in such a grand manner."

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help being a little amused that she guessed it so easily, "Young Master Chu's eyes are as bright as a torch, and Ruxuan has discovered another advantage of Young Master Chu."

"Oh? What advantages has the princess discovered in the lower body? Let's hear it..."

Chu Yuan suddenly became naughty.

Fang Ruxuan found out that Chu Yuan was not as unhappy and out of gregarious as she had imagined before after getting in touch with her many times. On the contrary, he was versatile, easy-going, and so good-natured that no one could find fault at all.

Fang Ruxuan didn't disappoint, she counted on her fingers: "Suave, suave, elegant, courteous, well hidden, and so on."

One spoke seriously and the other listened carefully. When Fang Ruxuan finished speaking, the two laughed at the same time, and Fang Ruxuan's anxiety before meeting was wiped away in her heart.

After talking and joking, Fang Ruxuan seriously talked about trade and commerce.

Originally, I just planned to ask Chu Yuan to help her introduce Xing Zhuo, and when Xing Zhuo returned to the capital of Yao Kingdom, he would help her get acquainted with officials related to trade, so as to open up this private trade path.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan talked eloquently, and even put forward many good suggestions, which made Fang Ruxuan understand all the things that she didn't fully understand after hearing it from Jin Abacus.

As for Chu Yuan's attitude, it is clear that he is extremely happy, and he is very willing to see Fang Ruxuan can go through this path and make a lot of money.

In just an hour, the two had already drawn up a lot of detailed rules, which could be put into action after Fang Ruxuan, Jin Suanan and others discussed it in detail.

Fang Ruxuan, who seldom showed her emotions, took the initiative to pour two glasses of wine on the spur of the moment, and took the lead in raising a glass of wine to Chu Yuan and said: "This glass of wine, I respect Mr. Chu, thank you for your assistance all the time. This road If it works out, the profits gained will be shared fifty-fifty with the young master as Xuan wishes."

Although half of the benefits are given up, Fang Ruxuan believes that in this way, Chu Yuan will be able to help a lot more than before in the links that need to be opened up in Yao's country, and the difficulties he has to face here , will be much less.

Chu Yuan didn't refuse, just smiled and drank it, "It's a happy cooperation."

After finishing their business, the two chatted freely.

Chu Yuan has been in the capital city of Dayuan for many years, and he is very proficient in the customs and customs of various places, and he speaks clearly and logically. People who don't know will think that he is a native of Dayuan.

Hearing Fang Ruxuan talk about Jiangbei, Chu Yuan looked yearning, "When Jiangbei was at its peak, I yearned very much to go there in person and see with my own eyes what Jiangbei was like under King Qi's governance. Unfortunately, it didn't come true. I hope that now Jiangbei can still have the richness and beauty of the past."

After King Qi moved back to the capital, Jiangbei was put on hold, and the governors of various places were under their jurisdiction.Without King Qi's restraint, the tax that was suppressed a little bit will increase substantially, and the people's life will definitely not be as comfortable and rich as before. Every time people from Jiangbei leave from the palace, King Qi's face will be gloomy After a while, Fang Ruxuan naturally knew what happened.

Listening to Chu Yuan talking about it now, Fang Ruxuan couldn't help but feel sad for a moment: the place she regarded as her hometown, I'm afraid it won't be as good as it used to be.

"I hope it's as you said..."

Taking a deep breath, Fang Ruxuan paid tea to Chu Yuan again.

The two toasted and drank together, and before they put down the tea bowl, they heard the sound of kapok's obstruction from outside the private room, "Your Majesty, please stay." The next moment, the door opened, and Song Qian appeared outside the door with a suspicious expression.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's blushing face, obviously from drinking, and seeing Chu Yuan sitting next to her, Song Qian immediately showed anger.

　There is excitement.
