Chapter 299 The street lamp pendant is back
September 9th is an extraordinary day.
Not only is today the Double Ninth Festival, but it is also the day when the Beixuan Kingdom trade caravan returns.
To show his concern, the emperor personally met with the caravan leader Jiang Zishuo.
"Jiang Aiqing, how have you gained from this journey?" the emperor chuckled.
Jiang Zishuo did not dare to neglect and replied quickly, "Your Majesty, this time I went to the Western Regions and after many arrangements, I successfully purchased a hundred bloody horses."
"A hundred horses? Too few."
The emperor frowned. Although a hundred horses were a bloody horse, it was still too few for Beixuan's army.
Jiang Zishuo said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I also want to buy more BMWs, but I am short of money."
The emperor was silent, which was indeed a flaw.
In ancient times, when the land of the Central Plains was not divided, the Central Plains dynasty was interested in the bloody BMW, and they would directly use force to persuade the other party to give the BMW as a gift.
Jiang Zishuo returned to Jiang Mansion with excitement on his face. He first went to Jiang Yunxian's place, but was rejected.
"Isn't this... Third brother, you actually have this thing?"
"Sister, why don't you go to the East Palace to look for her?"
Jiang Zishuo was very satisfied with Jiang Yanming's reaction, and at the same time secretly apologized to his second brother in his heart.
"Little sister, I'm back."
Xiao Chenguang helped Jiang Yanming.
The medicinal materials in this potted plant were originally a gift for Jiang Zishu, but if the younger sister likes it, she will have no choice but to give it to Jiang Zishu.
(Note: Anxi is the name of the country in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty. The era in the book is similar to the Tang Dynasty. It is just a name here. History buffs should not take it seriously)
The emperor was overjoyed, "Seriously?"
"Medicine? That's right. She and that prude Jiang Zishu are both disciples of the Valley of Divine Medicine."
Xiao Chenguang used Yuyan Cream, and his whole feeling was completely different from before.
Taohong replied to Jiang Zishuo, "I don't know why the young lady doesn't like your gift, Third Young Master, but I know that the young lady is very interested in medicinal materials recently."
Jiang Zishuo was very surprised. He didn't understand why his little sister didn't like these things until he left Jiang Yanming's yard.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The palace banquet in the evening was temporarily changed to a banquet for the Parthian envoys, and many dignitaries attended the banquet.
Xiao Chenguang now knows that Yu Yanshuang is completely worthy of the price.
Jiang Zishuo felt a little nervous. Everyone knew that Jiang Yanming liked the prince. How could she allow people to go to the East Palace to find the prince?
"Little sister, do you know where sister Yunxian has gone?"
"Little sister, look what I brought you?"
But now the Central Plains is divided into two, and although Beixuan is strong, it is not enough to compete head-on with the Western Regions.
When he came back, the first thing he thought about was not the little sister he had been with for more than ten years, who was still so enthusiastic.
"Haha, of course."
The potted plants given by Jiang Zishuo are the medicinal materials from the Western Regions needed to make Yu Yanshuang. This potted plant Jiang Yanming is estimated to cost a conservative fifty thousand taels.
Jiang Yanming smiled and said, "This thing is very precious. This one is probably worth ten jars of Yu Yanshuang."
At the very least, the seeds of BMW can be passed on, right?
The plants in front of Jiang Yanming have a weak detoxification effect. Combined with Jiang Yunxian's prescription, it is the secret medicine for detoxification and beauty.
Jiang Yanming was not polite to Jiang Zishuo and moved the potted plants back to his house.
"East Palace? Why did Yunxian go to the Prince's East Palace?"
"Your Majesty," Jiang Zishuo said with cupped hands, "I went back to the Western Regions and met the King of Parthia. The Parthia Kingdom expressed its willingness to form an alliance with Beixuan and sent envoys to negotiate."
Jiang Zishuo couldn't find Jiang Yunxian, so he had to find Jiang Yanming.
"Third brother, have you brought anything good back?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, King Anxi promised that if the alliance is successful, he will provide Beixuan with a certain amount of horses, but we also have to exchange something."
However, Jiang Zishuo gave too much.
In the original book, Jiang Zishuo, the street lamp pendant, was the first to ignore his relationship with the original owner for more than ten years and join the heroine's camp. Although Jiang Yanming had no ill feelings towards Jiang Zishuo, she did not want to give this profiteer a good look.
Jiang Yanming received his third brother warmly, and Jiang Zishuo suddenly felt a little ashamed.
"Forget it, just let these hundred horses breed for a few years." The emperor sighed.
Night fell, but the palace had just begun to drink and drink.
…
The emperor repeatedly applauded, "I have changed my mind about tonight's palace banquet. I will instead host a banquet for the Anxi envoy and reward Jiang Aiqing by the way."
"In addition, I also bought you clothes from the Western Regions. Although the clothes there are rough, they are of a different style from Beixuan."
After chatting with Jiang Yanming for a while and building up their feelings, Jiang Zishuo asked.
In this case, Jiang Zishuo returned to Jiang Yanming's yard.
He hasn't been back for a long time, so I have to take a look at his account book to see how much money he made during his absence.
Jiang Zishuo originally thought that Jiang Yanming would like the things he brought back. After all, when he came back from going out and brought a bunch of clothes and jewelry to his little sister, she seemed very happy.
Jiang Zishuo took out a pot of plant. Jiang Yanming's eyes widened when she looked at the plant in Jiang Zishuo's hand.
"No, there is always a chance."
Jiang Yanming plans to simplify Jiang Yunxian's Yuyan Cream to reduce costs and increase quantity.
Jiang Yunxian was not at home at all and had gone to someone unknown.
But this time, Jiang Zishuo miscalculated.
Jiang Yanming looked at the pile of jewelry placed on his table, and just said "Yeah" lightly, and then put away the jewelry.
Jiang Yanming and Xiao Chenguang were studying the potted plants sent by Jiang Zishuo.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Jiang Zishuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Yanming had no ill intentions towards Jiang Yunxian.
Jiang Zishuo took out a bunch of jewelry and placed it on Jiang Yanming's table.
"These are the jewelry I bought in the Western Regions. They are quite different from Beixuan's style. I think you might like them."
"Taohong, what does your lady like recently? Didn't she like these decorations the most before?"
Jiang Zishuo nodded subconsciously, "That's true."
Or is it Jiang Yunxian who has a bad relationship with her?
Jiang Yanming didn't see Jiang Zishuo's nervousness and continued, "Brother Prince is short of money recently, so he asked his sister for cooperation. You know, my sister is very good at making money."
'Am I going a little too far?'
…
After Jiang Zishuo visited his little sister, he left in a hurry.
"Miss Jiang, is this strange plant the raw material of Yuyanshuang?" Xiao Chenguang said.
"So are you going to the East Palace to find your sister?"
Jiang Yanming said in surprise.
The emperor attached great importance to this banquet, so Jiang Zisu, who was responsible for security work, was unable to attend the banquet and led people to patrol around the palace.
As Jiang Yanming's legitimate daughter, she is naturally qualified to appear at this banquet.
However, some people may not have this qualification.
"Han Xinxin, you are just my prince's concubine, why do you follow me here?"
