When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Lu Shen was overjoyed: "This matter is profitable, how about our Lu family get involved?"

Qiao Henian said solemnly: "There is no conclusion yet, why do you have to intervene?"

Lu Shen was very persistent: "Has this girl ever done something that has never been successful? I must not miss this time. You know that there are too many wastes in my family. Unlike you, you can't squander this treasury in several lifetimes.

I don't have your confidence. I have a big family to support. I will definitely make some money from this business."

Shi Yi: Here she comes again, here she comes again, she really has no ambition! Please let her go!

After pondering for a long time, Qiao Henian finally nodded reluctantly.

Lu Shen was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Shi Yi: Hey, I, I’m a living person standing here, you two can’t see me, right?

Shouldn't you ask me first if I'm willing?

Qiao Henian seemed to know what Shi Yi was thinking, and he spoke calmly:

"You have so many mouths to feed, and the burden on your shoulders is the heaviest, so don't just think about lying down. Why are you thinking about retirement when you're so young?

It's good to let Lu Shen join, at least with him around, you can't be lazy even if you want to."

Lu Shen smiled maliciously, "Don't worry about that! I will have a long talk with the girl tonight!"

Shi Yi raised his hands in surrender: "I give in. I'll do whatever you say. Isn't it just about expanding the grassland business? I agree! I agree with both hands!"

It's impossible to have a long conversation. Lu Shen, this chatterbox, can talk for the whole night without yawning. She can't stand it!

A good man does not suffer from immediate losses!

No one can take up her sleeping time!

Lu Shen winked at Qiao Henian smugly, meaning: "Look! He is the one who has to take care of the lazy girl!"

Qiao Henian: This girl is good in every way except that she is so lazy!

The treasury was resealed and the five locks were put back on.

Qiao Henian had no intention of using this treasure house for the time being, so he sent people to buy the nearby hills and fields.

The people sent here were ostensibly to cultivate the land and plant trees, but in reality they were secretly guarding this huge treasure trove.

Qiao Henian put the grassland forces on display and asked Lu Shen and Shi Yi to consult together. Since they felt that they wanted to do this thing, they could not act on instinct.

For some things, you need to know both yourself and your enemy in order to be victorious!

Qiao Henian and Lu Shen finalized the details, and Shi Yi only grasped the general direction.

After they were ready, the group set off with secret guards and a large group of professional escorts.

At the border, Qiao Henian met General Xiao. It was not known what he talked about with General Xiao in Xiao's study, but when they passed the pass, General Xiao actually came to see them off in person.

Shi Yi and Lu Shen said goodbye to General Xiao in a generous manner!

They have finally found a clear way out!

General Xiao asked Grandpa: "Can they do it?" Isn't it a bit too risky?

General Xiao smiled, stroked his beard, and said to his grandson:

"Having such a group of people doing such things is a blessing for our court, whether it succeeds or not!"

The young general said: "Grandpa, Mr. Qiao in the wheelchair, he seems to be..."

General Xiao interrupted him and emphasized seriously: "He is just a patriotic businessman! It can only be like this."

The young general lowered his head and said nothing more. General Xiao touched his grandson's head and sighed:

"The grievances of the previous generation are the past generations, why should we implicate the younger generation! Without the shackles of identity, he can do many meaningful things. Isn't that good?"

The young general looked up: "Grandpa is right! I was overthinking it."

General Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Kid, life is sometimes not easy. As long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to take some things too seriously."

The young general smiled slyly and whispered in General Xiao's ear:

"Grandpa, I seem to have some impression of Mr. Qiao's mother. She seemed to have come to our house when she left Kyoto. I saw her in Grandpa's study..."

General Xiao covered his grandson's mouth with his hand and warned him with narrowed eyes:

"You must have remembered it wrongly. How old were you back then? How could you remember..."

The young general looked as if he had expected this, and General Xiao was so angry that he kicked him on the buttocks and cursed:

"You bastard, how dare you trick your grandfather! I'll beat you up!"

The young general somersaulted, broke free from his grandfather's shackles, and ran away so gracefully!

General Xiao laughed and scolded, "If you have the guts, don't come back or I'll beat you to death!"

The generals nearby who knew nothing about the matter tried to persuade him, but the old general pretended to be angry and walked away with his sleeves thrown.

Lu Shen sat in the carriage, wearing a fox fur coat but still feeling cold. He had a soft quilt covering his legs and rubbing his hands uncontrollably.

Qiao Henian was reading the book calmly.

Lu Shen's eyes kept wandering around Qiao Henian. Qiao Henian felt scared by his gaze and had no choice but to put down the book and wait for Lu Shen's questions.

Otherwise, this person could maintain such curiosity and stare at him for such a long time. He really couldn't stand it.

When Lu Shen saw Qiao Henian put down the book, he approached him and asked:

"He Nian, you seem to be very familiar with General Xiao?"

Qiao Henian: "Well, we are old acquaintances!"

Lu Shen stretched out his tone meaningfully: "Is that so?"

Qiao Henian gently pinched the bridge of his nose with his slender fingers and said to Shi Yi with a headache:

"Why don't you talk to him for a while? He's too noisy."

Shi Yi shrugged: "I also hate his noise!" You should talk to him.

Lu Shen's enthusiasm did not diminish, and he said sarcastically: "He Nian, I have known you for more than ten years, how come I didn't know that you have an old acquaintance in Yanbei Pass."

He suddenly leaned close to Qiao Henian's face and asked, "When and why did you meet? Tell me!"

Shi Yi also seemed to be interested and sighed, "The road is long, just treat it as telling a story, it can also kill time." Let's tell it.

Lu Shen gave Shi Yi an appreciative look for his tact.

Qiao Henian put down the book in his hand and compromised, "Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you, so you don't have to think about it all day long."

Lu Shen: "That's right, that's right! Tell me quickly, is it related to Aunt Diao?"

Qiao Henian glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Since you have guessed it, why are you still asking!"

Lu Shen protested: "I want to hear the details!"

Shi Yi wrapped herself tightly in her cloak with a smile on her face. It was already winter, and the further north she went, the colder it got. She would have to find her down jacket to keep warm the next day or the day after tomorrow.

Although it is a bit cold in the carriage now, it is still bearable.

Qiao Henian pulled up the quilt on his legs, picked up the cup of tea that Shi Yi had just poured for him, and took a sip gracefully.

He put the cup down steadily as he spoke.

"This story begins after my mother gave birth to me. At that time, she lived near General Xiao's residence in Kyoto. Because my mother had good calligraphy, she was known as a talented woman in Kyoto.

The children of General Xiao needed a teacher to teach them how to write. By chance, the mistress of the Xiao family saw my mother's beautiful handwriting and asked her to teach her children how to write.

After a while, we became familiar with each other. "
