Jin Xiang is in his thirties, has a beard, and has a simple and honest face. If it weren't for the eye-catching beard, he would have been invisible in the crowd.

When he saw Xue Qingyin, he immediately saluted: "Young Master has already given orders to the younger ones. The older lady just sends me."

I'm just afraid that the older girl doesn't even know how to send people.

Jin Xiang thought.

Doing business is not that simple.

He hasn't learned anything since he was a child, and now he has to take over such a big stall. It's not that he looks down on older girls, but it's this thing... it's destined to be bad!

Forget it, just treat it as playing house with someone, and just wait for it!

Jin Xiang comforted himself in his heart and drove Xue Qingyin to the outskirts of the city himself.

As soon as she left the city, Xue Qingyin rolled up the curtains and just breathed in the fresh air outside.

This made Mrs. Xue glare at her several times, fearing that she would be blown away.

"What is that?" Xue Qingyin suddenly said.

She saw a black cloth from a distance, no, to be precise, it was a black mushroom, located in one place.

It's too far away to see clearly.

"This is the camp where the Xuanwu Army is stationed," Jin Xiang said.

"Xuanwu Army?"

"They are the personal guards of His Highness King Xuan." Jin Xiang smiled and continued: "Thirty miles away, there is the camp of the Xuanwei Army. The Xuanwei Army is the elite of the army in the hands of His Highness King Xuan.

"

Xue Qingyin nodded.

She had read a lot of novels before, and she knew more or less ancient rules.

For example, when the general returns, the army cannot enter the capital. After all, there are so many people under the pressure, who knows if you will win and return to the court, or come to rebel?

So they would camp outside the capital, either in mountains or fields.

Since the Han Dynasty, people have generally settled in the fields. In times of war, if you take up arms, you are a soldier. In times of peace, if you put down your arms, you must cultivate the fields.

As Jin Xiang drove forward, his scalp became more and more numb.

Xue Qingyin noticed that something was wrong with his expression, so she asked: "Shopkeeper Jin, what's wrong?"

Jin Xiang said awkwardly: "I haven't been to Zhuangzi in the suburbs for some time. Now I seem to be getting closer to Zhuangzi. But how come it's also closer to the camp?"

Xue Qingyin pointed to the road: "Isn't the camp over there?"

Jin Xiang said: "Yes, when we enter this road, we have to turn and go that way." Jin Xiang paused and said, "How about we come back some time later?"

Xue Qingyin was puzzled.

Is it terrible to be a neighbor in a camp?

"It doesn't matter, just keep moving forward." Xue Qingyin said.

Mrs. Xue nodded secretly from behind.

That's right, your daughter should be brought out to see the world more often. How can she be seen with such a stable attitude if she is kept in a boudoir?

The carriage drove for another half an hour before stopping in front of a village.

Behind Zhuangzi are mountains and forests.

In front of Zhuangzi are fields.

The Xuanwu Army's camp was actually two miles away from them.

But even so.

The sweat on Jin Xiang's forehead has also increased visibly.

"Master Jin? It's Master Jin who's here!" The servant guarding the door of Zhuangzi hurriedly ran inside to announce.

Jin Xiang was a little embarrassed.

In front of these two people, what kind of man is he?

After a while, a middle-aged man came out with several servant girls.

There are about ten people, big and small.

"This is madam, this is the eldest girl in the house." Jin Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered.

A woman rubbed her hands nervously, saluted quickly, and said: "The last time I saw my wife bringing the eldest girl to the village was three or four years ago. In the blink of an eye, she looked like this, and she didn't dare to recognize her.

Well. After all, your house raises noble people."

The woman was very attentive, but Mrs. Xue's expression was indifferent, even a little bored.

Before she could speak, a servant suddenly trembled: "Come, come, come again..."

Jin Xiang asked in confusion: "What's coming?"

As he spoke, everyone turned to look.

I saw a young general in armor leading a few soldiers walking towards this side.

Jin Xiang's expression changed and he shouted sharply: "Speak clearly! What's going on? Has Zhuangzi offended Lord Bing?"

"Yes, there is some dispute..." The middle-aged man in the lead hesitated.

Jin Xiang sneered: "Now I dare not tell the truth in front of my master. How can I pay it back in the future?"

The middle-aged man then said: "It's not that the land in Liujiazhuangzi has been idle for some time. We saw how much it would be a pity to leave it alone, so we thought about buying it."

Jin Xiang pursed his lips: "I know this. What happened next?"

"Later... Liujiazhuangzi refused to agree. He even ridiculed us, saying that he would not sell the land to us even if it was left desolate."

Mrs. Xue sneered: "What's the point of hesitating and hesitating?"

The middle-aged man knelt down with a puff: "The people below are so bold that when they saw that the land recently started to be planted again, they blocked the ditch! Later I found out that it was Xuan who was farming there now.

Xuanwu Army..."

The so-called moisture ditch is a road channel that diverts water.

Blocking other people's drains is disgusting enough.

And luckily, they managed to block the Xuanwu Army's head!

When Jin Xiang heard this, he almost knelt down.

"Fuck you...fuck you..." Jin Xiang gritted his teeth.

He just said, why is there a servant outside today when I come here? He is hiding from the Xuanwu Army.

Mrs. Xue also had a headache.

And while he was talking, the marching sergeant had already walked up to him.

"Is the door open today?" the young general snorted.

Zhuangzi was so frightened that he all knelt down: "I've seen you, I've seen Master Jun!"

Xue Qingyin: "..."

Mrs. Xue pinched Xue Qingyin's wrist, probably not wanting her to be afraid. Then she turned around, showed a bit of the demeanor of a minister's wife, and asked politely: "May I ask who your Excellency is?"

"Du Hongxue, the general manager of the Xuanwu Army under King Xuan," the young general said politely, "May I ask who you are?"

When everyone heard this, they secretly thought to themselves, is he the commander-in-chief of the First Army at such a young age? He must be very powerful...

Zhuangzi immediately shrank even more.

"Shilang Xue of the Ministry of Finance is a foreigner." Mrs. Xue's voice rang out before she could say more.

The young general's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at Xue Qingyin aside and said, "Then this is...Miss Xue?! I can't even recognize her even though she's wearing Mu Li!"

Everyone was startled.

……know?

Even Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment.

Xue Qingyin looked confused.

Ah? Have you seen it?

The young general stepped forward suddenly and asked: "How is Miss Xue? That day..."

At this point, he realized that something was wrong and he couldn't talk nonsense.

"That day?" Mrs. Xue interrupted.

Xue Qingyin knew where she had seen him.

Just fly the kite that day.

She was dizzy and did not see this person. But this person was following King Xuan, so he must have seen her.

"On the day I was lost, when Princess Jinque took me away, I met His Highness Prince Xuan on the road." Xue Qingyin said calmly and calmly.

"Ah, yes, yes!" the young general hurriedly echoed, fearing that he would say something he shouldn't and ruin the girl's honor.

Mrs. Xue's face relaxed. That's it.

Zhuangzi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the eldest girl in the family knows them, can't this matter be dealt with lightly?

But thinking about it carefully, this doesn’t seem to count as acquaintance.

It’s called a one-sided relationship...

Everyone in Zhuangzi felt like they were fetching water from a bamboo basket. They were in a state of ups and downs. They were really frightened.

In this room, Xue Qingyin naturally replaced Mrs. Xue and started talking with the young general.

She said: "You are feeling much better. Is His Royal Highness Prince Xuan also nearby?"

"That's right, I'm here to inspect the army today." He paused for a moment, then pointed to the forest behind Zhuangzi and asked, "Is this the Xue family's?"

Xue Qingyin nodded.

"I heard there is a horse farm on the mountain..."

"Yes."

"There is no horse racing here, and the brothers in the army are all panicking. It would be best if there is a horse racing farm nearby! If it is convenient, Miss Xue will send someone to take us up to have a look..."

The middle-aged man standing aside was eager to agree immediately.

What an honor it is when the Xuanwu Army comes to borrow the horse farm!

If these guys can be coaxed, then naturally the previous mistakes will be wiped out, right?

"Do you have to come every day?" Xue Qingyin's voice sounded.

"If it is wide enough, it will come every day."

"Then how much money will you give me?"

Jin Xiang:!

Everyone in Zhuangzi:!!

They almost fainted.

How dare you ask His Highness King Xuan for money?

The young general was stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "I don't have much experience in this, why don't you give me a price, Miss Xue?"

Xue Qingyin also has little experience.

She only vaguely remembered that in the Song Dynasty, one hundred Wen could be exchanged for about one bucket of rice, and one tael of silver was equivalent to almost two thousand Wen.

So she yelled out a random price: "Five hundred taels."

More or less?

Xue Qingyin turned her head to look at the expressions of the others.

Okay.

All of them were stunned, with ugly faces and sweating profusely.

OK, she got it...

She shouted too much.

How did Xue Qingyin know that for other people, she shouldn't want a penny!

The young general smiled: "Five hundred taels is not much, but I have to go back and report it."

His Royal Highness King Xuan is merciless in collecting rewards every year.

Other princes and nobles at least have seven or eight concubines. On weekdays, it would cost seventy or eighty taels to buy rouge, gouache, red hairpins and silver rings for their concubines.
