Chu Feng and Chu Yi took the red box from the hands of the two maids and placed it on the table in the living room. Yun Yanjing smiled and said, "Madam, don't you want to see what it is?"
Nangong Yonghe was stunned for a moment and asked Chu Feng to open it. Inside, there were sheets of transparent isinglass. At a glance, he knew it was a high-quality product.
"This is the finest isinglass I brought from the East China Sea to beautify my wife." Yun Yanjing said with a smile.
Nangong Yonghe immediately said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Yun is so polite. These two boxes are not cheap. You are so thoughtful. I must come to have a wedding banquet the next day." Nangong Yonghe could only invite, but she was really overpaid for this gift.
"Okay, definitely. I heard that my wife is a saint from the Qing Kingdom, and the emperor gave her three beautiful husbands, which is really enviable to others." Yun Yanjing's handsome face became much kinder.
"What the hell, you made Master Yun laugh. By the way, Uncle Guiyu has something to do and he hasn't come back yet. How about Master Yun stay for a meal?" Nangong Yonghe wanted to build a good relationship with him. Maybe he could take the initiative to give him medicine.
If that doesn't work, maybe when Yurong and the others come back, they can just find a way to grab the medicine. After all, I've already invited you into the pot.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Thank you madam for your hospitality." Yun Yanjing had exactly this intention.
"Master Yun really thinks that uncle is the son of your adoptive father?" Nangong Yonghe asked him to sit down and drink tea. Chu Feng and Chu Yi stood behind her, while Xiao Shuang'er stood behind Yun Yanjing.
"They are really similar. I think it's very possible. The adoptive father did have a son, but he said he was killed by bad guys when he was a child. Maybe he didn't die?" Yun Yanjing was a little excited when he talked about this, which made Nangong Yonghe feel that he was a filial son.
He was so kind to his adoptive father, so there is no need to mention his own parents.
"I asked my uncle, and he said that he had been a beggar in a small town before he was 6 years old. He was very pitiful. His master took him away when he was six years old, so his only relative was his master.
He won't be able to accept it. By the way, can you show me your crescent jade pendant again?" Nangong Yonghe is ready to compare it. After seeing it clearly, he will study the uncle's pp.
"Of course." Yun Yanjing quickly took out the jade pendant from his arms, and Nangong Yonghe took it into his hand. He immediately felt warm, smooth, and transparent in color. It was actually a piece of fine jade. It seemed that the old man really treated him as his son.
Already.
The shape is half a moon, but there is a carved dragon pattern on one side. As time goes by, the dragon pattern looks smoother and softer, but it is still clearly visible that it is a flying dragon.
"This jade pendant is very delicate and precious." Nangong Yonghe said with a frown.
"Well, yes, I know that my adoptive father has always been lucky in his heart, hoping that his son has not died and has been preserved until now, but he is old after all, and I am really worried about him. If Master Guiyu is willing to go back to Pengzhou with me,
Please take a look and I will be very grateful." Yun Yanjing showed a distressed expression, and his handsome face looked even more pitiful and innocent.
"Is the old man sick?" Nangong Yonghe asked in surprise.
"Yes, didn't I say that I met a robber before? My adoptive father has some martial arts skills, but after all, he is old and has difficulty moving after being chopped on his foot. In those few days, I saw him looking at the sky and sighing, so I stayed and chatted with him.
"My adoptive father is really a good person and he shouldn't die without anyone." Yun Yanjing's phoenix eyes suddenly turned red.
"Don't be sad, I will persuade uncle. Master Yun is such a good man." Nangong Yonghe showed a look of praise.
"Mrs. made me laugh. In fact, my father has been strict with me since I was a child. He has always beaten and scolded me without caring. So when I saw my adoptive father, I really felt that he was my father. After finishing the things in the capital this time,
I will go back to Penglan Town to accompany him in his retirement." Yun Yanjing said with a smile.
"Then do you know what your adoptive father used to do? How come he knows martial arts?" Nangong Yonghe became curious, because she felt that this jade pendant was not something ordinary people would have.
"The adoptive father said he was a businessman and came from a very far away place. He had two followers around him who were about the same age and were also good at martial arts. However, the adoptive mother seemed to have passed away a long time ago. He bought a house in the small town of Penglan.
A farm near the hillside not only grows vegetables, but also raises horses. Those horses are extremely strong and strong, better than those raised on such a horse farm. Everyone is vying to buy them, and those bandits are here to steal the horses."
"Ah, then they were all taken away?" Nangong Yonghe said in shock.
"No, my adoptive father was very smart. He set up chasms around the racecourse. It was not easy for the horses to cross the railings and chasms, not to mention it was night. Therefore, several good horses were injured that night. My foster father felt very sad. When the gang of robbers saw this,
There were many of us, so we ran away. Before I left, I was worried whether those bandits would come again, so I asked two guards to stay. My adoptive father said that he would find a way to take precautions. I hope everything is safe."
"Who are those robbers?" Nangong Yonghe raised his eyebrows.
"My adoptive father said he was a bandit on the opposite mountain. He was jealous of him making money, so he wanted to steal the horse. Because it was close to the seaside, he said he could sell it to the northern military camp through the waterway." Yun Yanjing explained.
"Where is the specific location of Penglan Town and how long has it been here?" Nangong Yonghe asked curiously.
"It used to take about ten days to ride a horse here. It's on the east coast, but it's already far north. The small town has a canal and a road to the sea, so the place is quite prosperous. I did it for about a month from Donghai Mengzhuang.
The ship just landed at Penglan Pier." Yun Yanjing explained clearly.
"Is that a transportation port there?" Nangong Yonghe pondered.
"Actually, it can't be considered that. Humen Town next to Penglan is a big town and a real big port. Penglan just got the benefit of the doubt." Yun Yanjing explained.
"Haha, I never understand geography. I'll look at the map later, but it's a bit strange that your adoptive father can raise good horses. Horse raising is the specialty of northerners."
"My adoptive father said that they came from the northwest and raised horses just for survival. Because they could make horse feed from the north, the horses they raised were very strong. However, I was very surprised that my adoptive father refused to raise horses.
Telling others the ingredients of horse feed may be their secret.”
"That's the cost of eating. How can you teach it to others?" Nangong Yonghe frowned, feeling a little panicked for some reason. He thought of something but didn't dare to think about it.
"That's right, so they raised their own horses and sold them. The rich families over there almost all have horses they raised. A good horse can cost thousands of silver." Yun Yanjing showed admiration.
"Compared to your private salt business in Mengzhuang, it's just a drop in the bucket." Nangong Yonghe's mouth twitched.
Yun Yanjing was stunned, his handsome face regained its calmness and said: "Madam, our official salt produced in Mengzhuang is all doing business with the official family. Madam, what you say is a bit inappropriate?"
"The Third Prince is considered an official?" Nangong Yonghe laughed in amusement.
"The third prince is a prince, his surname is Murong. Can't we even trust him? The salt traded with him is sent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and distributed everywhere. We are doing legitimate business." Yun Yanjing frowned, "Does Madam have any objections to us?
Misunderstanding?"
"Did your father tell you these things?" Nangong Yonghe also frowned and looked at him with big eyes in confusion.
"Dad said this before, and my uncle also said the same. He also took me to see the latest batch of salt. They are all in the warehouse of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and are distributed during the New Year." Yun Yanjing asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"
"Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?" Nangong Yonghe looked at the two maids behind him in surprise. As a result, he saw the two maids angrily glaring at the two Chu brothers behind her, and quickly turned to look at Chu in surprise.
Feng and Chu Yi found that their faces were red and they didn't know what they were winking at.
"What are you doing?" Nangong Yonghe asked Chu Feng in a deep voice.
"Madam, no, I didn't do anything." Chu Feng said quickly.
"Then why do the two girls opposite look so angry?" Nangong Yonghe looked at Yun Yanjing, and Yun Yanjing turned around in shock to look at the young and old Shuang'er.
"Master, these two people are so disgusting. They keep staring at me and Xiaoshuang." Dashuang suddenly pouted and blushed.
"No, no, you are too similar. We are just curious. No, there is no other meaning." Chu Yi explained quickly.
"Yes, we have no other intentions. Really, you two are so similar." Chu Feng immediately blushed.
Nangong Yonghe rolled his eyes and said, "Even if they look alike, it's very rude for you two grown men to stare at this girl and not apologize!" Nangong Yonghe said deliberately sternly.
Chu Feng and Chu Yi quickly lowered their heads and said, "Young lady, I'm rude. I'm really sorry."
"Young and eldest, they are not just disciples. You already attract a lot of attention when you go out. Why are you so rude this time?" Yun Yanjing said immediately.
"Master, no, it's them looking at us and smiling obscenely. It's really disgusting." Xiaoshuang pouted, looking very cute.
"No, no, it's unfair." Chu Feng immediately shouted.
"Yes, you bumped his shoulder just now and raised your eyebrows at him. The two of you must have bad intentions!" Da Shuang said loudly immediately.
Nangong Yonghe saw that the faces of the two brothers Chu Feng and Chu Yi were even redder, and her heart moved. The two brothers had fallen in love with the twins, but they did have good eyesight. These little girls were small and exquisite, and they seemed to have good martial arts skills.
"No, no, really not. I, I'm just talking about you. Your eyebrows are a little longer and slender than hers, like a crescent moon. My brother said that the corners of her mouth look good when she raises them. No, I don't mean anything else." Chu Feng said hesitantly,
A handsome face turned redder.
Nangong Yonghe was stunned and looked at the two sisters. Sure enough, the elder pair's eyebrows seemed to be a little longer, while the younger pair had a habit of slightly bending the corners of their mouths. These two men were really observing carefully.
"You, you guys!" Xiao Shuang's face turned red at the words.
"Okay, Xiaoshuang, you go out and wait." Yun Yanjing said sheepishly, "Madam, I'm so sorry, this servant is so ignorant."
"What, it's because we two guys are ignorant. Why don't you go out and apologize? By the way, prepare some snacks and tea for the two girls." Nangong Yonghe said immediately.
"Yes, madam." The two brothers ran out, but the younger one seemed a little afraid of Yun Yanjing, so he quickly walked out of the door.
"It's okay, young man, it's easy to make friends if you are noisy." Nangong Yonghe smiled at Yun Yanjing.
"Madam, let's talk about what happened just now. I don't quite understand what you're saying. Could it be that the Third Prince secretly stole the official salt and turned it into private salt?" Yun Yanjing cared about this issue very much.
"Well, Master Yun, I don't want to say more. You might as well go back and ask your uncle. He has been in Beijing for so many years and he has been taking care of your Yun family's business. I think he knows better than anyone else." Nangong Yonghe
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps at the door.
Two upright figures, Gui Yu and Feng Xuri, appeared at the door.
"Yong'er." Guiyu called Nangong Yonghe, but when he saw Yun Yanjing, he didn't say hello. Instead, he walked aside and poured the tea himself.
"Xiao He!" Feng Xuri also walked in. He was stunned when he saw Yun Yanjing and said, "Who is this?"
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Master Yun Yanjing, the young master of Donghai Mengzhuang. This is my good friend Feng Xuri." Nangong Yonghe stood up and introduced.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." The two men shook hands and greeted each other. Gui Yu brought the tea cup to Feng Xuri and said, "Let's drink tea."
"Thank you, Brother Ghost." Feng Xuri took it and drank it all in one gulp. They had stolen into many places in the Three Princes' Mansion, and they were indeed a little tired.
"Uncle, can you find anyone?" Nangong Yonghe was worried about the Eighth Prince.
"Not yet, and there is no news from you?" Gui Yu asked coldly, because he was very unhappy when he saw Yun Yanjing's eyes looking at him.
Nangong Yonghe shook his head, and Feng Xuri immediately said: "Let's go find something." He decided to perform the technique.
"Chu Feng has already found him, but we will wait until Yu Rong comes back. You go and rest for a while. Judging from your face, you must be very tired recently." Nangong Yonghe frowned and looked at Feng Xuri.
"Fortunately, Xiao He doesn't have to worry." Feng Xuri's eyes immediately became gentle, and her heart felt warm. Did she start to care about herself?
