Suddenly, Qin Jing's hand slapped Su Zijin's outstretched hand.

"Hey!" Su Zijin suddenly retracted his hand, "Why are you hitting someone?"

Qin Jing watched Su Zijin looking at his hands and looking at him with wide eyes accusingly. The old god said in a serious tone, "The Pisces Pendant has been given and you have accepted the engagement, so you cannot regret it at will.

Do you think the engagement between you and me is just a matter of playing house?"

After hearing Qin Jing's words, Su Zijin didn't know whether to be happy that he liked the engagement, or regret that he was easily fooled by Qin Jing, so he had to resist the urge to get the Pisces Pendant back, "I know, then if you have anything to say, you can slow down."

Wait, why are you beating someone?"

"I'll teach you a lesson and let you know the importance." Qin Jing stretched out his hand, and Su Zijin held his hand and stepped back, "What are you doing?"

Qin Jing was amused, "Let me see if the beating was severe."

Su Zijin shook his head, "No need."

Qin Jing did not insist anymore.

Silence spread.

"My birthday celebration on March 18th next year."

"What?"

Su Zijin was confused.

"Your crowning ceremony?"

Qin Jing nodded, "Yes, I hope you can come and appear in Kyoto as my fiancée."

Facing Qin Jing's firm gaze, Su Zijin knew that this was the time limit Qin Jing had given him to stay in Shu County.

Su Zijin thought for a while and nodded, "I understand, I will rush back when the time comes."

From now until next March, she will have a full year to stay in Shu County. Faced with Qin Jing's willingness to give herself time even though he didn't understand anything, Su Zijin felt relieved.

"It's a deal."

Qin Jing stretched out his hand, and Su Zijin reached out to slap him, high-fiving him.

"It's a deal."

…

Qin Jing took his younger brother and Mo Cui Peony with him, coming and going like the wind, and disappeared in Shu County, leaving no trace except Su Zijin.

"Sister Zijin, who is Mr. Huang?"

A few days later, Xue Baozhu came to visit and asked specifically about Su Zijin.

Seeing her cautious expression, Su Zijin said calmly, "He's my fiancé."

"Ah?" Xue Baozhu seemed to be relieved, but asked the question unwillingly, "I could see that your relationship was unusual that day, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be your fiancé?"

You mentioned you have a fiancé."

Su Zijin said calmly, "I made the decision just when I met her that day."

"Ah?!" Xue Baozhu was even more surprised, "A private decision for life?"

Seeing Su Zijin's speechless expression, Xue Baozhu smiled coquettishly and said, "It's definitely impossible. Mr. Huang is from everyone's family at first glance, so he wouldn't do such a thing. Moreover, Zijin's sister also comes from a noble family in Kyoto. She knows etiquette and restrains herself, so she must

Nor will I do anything to lower my status."

Faced with Xue Baozhu's pointed words, Su Zijin ignored them and just drank tea by himself. Xue Baozhu stayed for a while, then excused himself and left.

"Zijin, Baozhu came to see you today. Why did you stay for a while and then leave? Did you little sisters have a quarrel?"

After dinner, my grandmother remembered and asked Su Zijin.

Su Zijin shook his head, "Nothing, I just said a few words. My little daughter's thoughts change from moment to moment. Who can know about it?"

Grandma couldn't help but smile when she heard the tone of voice of her youngest son. She herself was only three years younger when she loved Baozhu, but she talked about Baozhu in a mature tone.

…

Su Zijin told Qin Jing that staying in Shu County was not meaningless. She had her own plan.

When he came to Shu County with Zhang Long and the others, Su Zijin made up his mind to lead Zhang Long to start a career. He thought he had enough time, but he didn't expect that it would take him more than half a year to take over his grandfather's family business. In March next year

Since I'm going back to Beijing again, I have to hurry up on my own affairs.

"Miss, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Long came to the study room in the front yard and met Su Zijin.

Su Zijin came back to his senses from the large map of Shu County and looked at Zhang Long.

"When I came here, I said that I would take you with me to earn extra money. It's time to honor my words."

After Su Zijin finished speaking, Long opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't. Finally, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Miss, no one would be too fond of money, and you are talking about bringing us ordinary brothers to make a fortune together. If I refuse your kindness now, it will be equivalent to blocking the brothers' way of making money. If I agree,

Let other brothers in the mansion know about your matter. If you are not worried about the lack of numbers but about the inequality, I am afraid that there will be hidden dangers for the guards in the mansion. Even if the general knows about this, he will not agree."

Su Zijin knew the worries of Zhang Long and the others. They were worried that there would be conflicts over the money, and that they would eventually lose their job as guards of the Su family. But Su Zijin had no choice. She did not have capable people under her command, and Zhang Long and the others were loyal and

There is no need to mention his ability. How could she let go of the ready-made capable man?

At the moment, Su Zijin waved his hand, "Zhang Long, you don't have to worry about things in the house, I will tell my father. Now, let's talk about you, are you willing to take the Su family guards and make a fortune with me?"

Zhang Long hadn't expressed his position yet, but Hou Yitou, who was guarding the door, appeared at the door and said, "Boss Zhang, don't hesitate. The lady is a stickler, and she is willing to pull us. Why should we little ones hesitate?"

Zhang Long glared at Hou Yi, stared at her back to stand guard at the door, and then looked at Su Zijin, "We all see the young lady's ability. From now on, our future will be left to the young lady!"

"Okay!" Su Zijin was overjoyed, "Come here and look at this map. Do you have the confidence to lead the team from here to here?"

Zhang Long looked at the map carefully. It was brought here from the General's Palace by the young lady. At that time, he should have been wondering whether his young lady was interested in the gems sent by the fourth prince and did not care about the map. But at this moment, he finally understood that the young lady from home was here.

I had made up my mind before leaving Shu County.

"Miss, if you want to go there, there are two ways. One is to go directly west, but it is not easy because of the high mountains and dangerous rivers. If we have enough time, we can take a detour to the southwest. In this way, the road will be much smoother, but it will take more time.

It takes more than half the time.”

"How long does it take to get back and forth?"

"I'm afraid it will take more than a month."

Su Zijin nodded. Although there were only two people in the study, Su Zijin and Zhang Long, Su Zijin still lowered his voice and said, "Our business is a unique business now. We can make a lot of money with just one visit."

The bowl is so full that ordinary people can't spend it all in their lifetime, but I want to tell you in advance about the dangers involved. After all, I'm just planning, and the actual implementation depends on your strength."

Zhang Long also nodded solemnly, "We are born as Su family members and die as Su family ghosts. We will definitely do our best."

Su Zijin nodded happily, "Okay, let's work together on this business. I'll take half, and you guys will share the other half equally. If it works, we'll really have peace of mind."

Su Zijin habitually drew the pie first, and then pointed to Zhang Long at the large area marked with the Qiang people outside the map and said, "Here, gold, silver, gems, and BMWs are produced, but did you know? Because of the bitter cold weather, they only

You can eat meat to keep out the cold, but over time, people here have hidden diseases in their stomachs, and we have the antidote for their incurable diseases. Do you think they would trade precious gems and BMWs for the antidote?"

"Of course!" Zhang Long nodded.

Su Zijin took out a package from the treasure shelf and said, "This is the antidote. You can get as much as you want. You can take the antidote and come back in exchange for the BMW gems. It's that simple. The most difficult thing about this is the journey.

It’s difficult. As long as you are familiar with the road, it will be a road to Jinshan from now on.”

Under Zhang Long's widened eyes, Su Zijin slowly opened the "antidote" in his hand.

"tea?!"

"That's right!"

…

It has been more than a month since Zhang Long and the others set out. Su Zijin, in addition to dealing with trivial business affairs in the southwest of the Chang family every day, would sit on the turret in the Chang Mansion courtyard, looking to the southwest, waiting for Zhang Long and the others to return.

.

As a group of them, if they succeeded, their wealth would be a hundred times greater, if they failed, their bodies would be gone. Su Zijin didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly anxious in his heart.

"Zijin! Why do you like this place so much?"

Grandma climbed up the stairs step by step and came to Su Zijin.

It was already midsummer. The bamboo curtains on all sides of the attic were lowered to provide ventilation and sun protection. There was also an ice basin in the corner pavilion. Su Zijin could stay in such a comfortable environment for a whole day.

"You'll still enjoy it, it's really cool and cool here."

Grandma sat in front of Su Zijin, and while talking, she placed an invitation in front of Su Zijin.

"What is this?"

Su Zijin asked as he opened it.

"It's an invitation from the Xue family next door. Mr. Xue has been promoted and will become a royal official in the ministry. Before he leaves, let's post a message to get together."

Although Su Zijin had no experience in this field, he also knew that it was not easy for the Xue family to be promoted from local to Kyoto.

"Of course we should go and join in the fun of someone else's happy event."

On the day of the Xue family's banquet, Su Zijin followed his grandmother to the Xue Mansion.
