Youshi.

In the room of the inn, Jiang Lili was serving the food.

He Shao had snacks and signature dishes from the restaurant delivered to her room, Chen's, and Yang's rooms. When they boarded the ship tomorrow, they would only be able to eat dry food.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open with a creak.

When she saw Xin Che coming in, she quickly asked everyone to sit down and eat: "Where have you been? Come and see if there is anything you want to eat?"

Xin Che washed his hands with clean water and sat down at the table with Jiang Lili: "I found the person who contacted the Yang family."

He peeled a shrimp for Jiang Lili with skillful movements: "Someone delivered something to the Yang family at noon today. I followed that person and found out that he was a gardener from the Peng family in Lianzhou."

Jiang Lili blinked and stuffed the shrimp into her mouth: "The Peng family? They are also a merchant family, right? Do they have any connections in Beijing?"

"This Peng family has a branch son named Peng Xuzhou, who passed the imperial examination and became a military chief in the capital, a seventh-rank official."

Seeing that Jiang Lili was a little confused after hearing the words "Yingshanzheng", Xin Che explained, "Yingshanzheng is in charge of the construction of temples, palaces, city walls, warehouses, barracks, etc."

"At the moment, it's unclear which faction this camp food belongs to."

Jiang Lili returned the favor and gave Xin Che a piece of fish with her chopsticks. "Okay, I'll tell my grandfather's contacts in Beijing about this news and ask them to check it out."

Xin Che looked down at the fish in the bowl, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it soon faded away, "What kind of soup is that in front of you?"

"Crab ball soup. Would you like some? Can I serve you a bowl?"

Jiang Lili served a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Xin Che, then served herself some soup and rice and started showing off her rice. When she glanced at the braised shrimps and wanted to peel one for Xin Che, she was stopped by him.

"Let me do it, don't get your hands dirty."

Xin Che peeled shrimp for Jiang Lili: "Just eat it."

Jiang Lili looked at Xin Che's focused and serious eyes and was distracted for a moment. Why did she feel that this guy became more and more handsome the more she looked at him?

It's quite a blessing to have a handsome guy peel shrimps for you.

Thinking about how she looked at other handsome men in front of Xin Che, Jiang Lili felt like a scumbag.

During the meal, Xin Che looked at Jiang Lili who was eating happily and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about returning to the capital one day?"

Jiang Lili had thought about getting together with her friends in Beijing, but she was sure that they would meet again one day. "I thought about it, but it's not necessary. No matter where you are, just live happily and freely."

Xin Che listened to Jiang Lili's words and seemed to be thinking about something.

As they ate, Jiang Lili discovered that Xin Che seemed to only eat the dishes she had picked for him.

Could it be that Xin Che ate too much of her favorite dishes, so he only ate what she picked for him?

So Jiang Lili kept picking up dishes for Xin Che, making sure that all the dishes were picked up.

She found that Xin Che ate extraordinarily much at this meal, while he usually only ate a little.

Is the food at He’s Restaurant so delicious?

After the meal, Xin Che cleaned up the plates and food remnants on the table, and Jiang Lili was responsible for wiping the table. Time flowed between the two of them, and there was a kind of tranquility and peace.

After eating and drinking, it's time to work.

Before leaving, Jiang Lili had one more important thing to do.

Taking advantage of the night, she carried a backpack and came to the warehouse closest to the post station under the escort of Xin Che.

After entering the warehouse, Xin Che stood guard outside the door, and Jiang Lili filled the warehouse prepared by He Jing with the flower cakes purchased in wholesale.

After selling this batch of flower cakes and splitting the profits with He Jing, he estimated that he could earn another 500 taels of silver.

Soon it was the morning of the third day.

As soon as it was daybreak, after having breakfast at the post station, Wang Zifu set off with the fugitives to the He family's wharf in Lianzhou.

In the fifth year after the late Emperor Kaiming ascended the throne, he established the Maritime Customs Office in Lianzhou to specifically manage foreign trade. Private merchants could conduct overseas trade under the control of the Maritime Customs Office, and government business would also be entrusted to these merchants in Lianzhou, so that the southern part of Lingnan was more developed and prosperous than the northern part.

There are a large number of heavyweight goods such as porcelain, ivory and gems between the capital and Lianzhou, which are generally transported by water.

This time, the He family transported tribute to the capital by land because pirates at sea were rampant and the tribute could not be delayed.

The exile team walked for an hour and a half and arrived at the Shuiwang Wharf of the He family in Lianzhou.

This is when there are many people.

The pier is bustling with people and things.

Merchants and boatmen from all over the world gather here. There are all kinds of stalls on the pier, selling snacks, fresh fish and seafood, flowers, spices...

Wang Zifu and the convicts were waiting in a slightly remote open space so as not to delay the flow of people coming in and out of the dock.

He looked at a deep-draft cargo ship at the dock from a distance: "The He family's ship is loading. We will be able to board in about two quarters of an hour."

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction Wang Zifu was looking. There was a magnificent merchant ship quietly moored at the dock, with its bow held high and its slightly upward arc like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly high, revealing its extraordinary momentum. The hull had smooth lines, and there was a row of exquisitely carved guardrails on each side.

Porters are loading the last few boxes of cargo onto the ship.

At this time, someone shouted, "Look, Master He Lin from the He family is coming this way!"

He Lin was wearing a light blue brocade robe and had a clear face. There were several shopkeepers following behind him who were reporting to He Lin. The group had a strong aura.

When Wang Zifu saw He Lin, he bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. He, I'm sorry to bother the He family's caravan this time."

"With just a little effort, the government and the people can benefit from it."

He Lin had a formal smile on his face: "I'm here to see my friend off. I'm leaving tomorrow too."

Huh? Are there any friends of He Lin in this exile team?

Could it be Jiang Lili? But isn't it He Jing who has a relationship with Jiang Lili in the He family?

Everyone followed He Lin's footsteps and looked behind the group of fugitives.

When Jiang Lili saw He Lin coming over with his eyes looking at her, she became nervous and looked at Xin Che for some unknown reason.

Help, Xin Che knew that he had rescued He Lin himself, but he hasn't thought of an explanation yet.

However, He Lin just walked to Liao Dabao and stopped. He said to Liao Dabao's mother Yin Zhen: "Can I have a few words with Liao Xiaoyou?"

He Lin smiled casually: "I heard that Liao Xiaoyou is helping to control the locust plague in Yunhai County. He is a little prodigy."

Yin Zhen nodded quickly: "Please do as you wish, sir."

Liao Ji was so envious of He Lin that he cried when he saw how luxuriously he was dressed and how tall he was.

He Lin took Liao Ji aside and said in a surprised tone: "Master Liao? You look so small now?"

Master Liao muttered: "&**@"

"What did you say?" He Lin found that he couldn't hear Master Liao's words even when he was standing, so he squatted down and tilted his ear.

Liao Ji whispered in his ear, raising his voice: "Your uncle."

He Lin: ...

He fiddled with Liao Ji like he was a puppet, with an expression of amazement on his face. It turned out that the classmate who used to fetch water with him had turned into such a small thing.

Liao Ji, who was treated as a toy, received 10,000 points of critical hit. He was so angry that he jumped up and hit He Lin's knee?

After observing Liao Ji enough, he stuffed a bag of snacks wrapped in oil paper into Liao Ji's pocket.

He Lin stood up and said to Master Liao and Jiang Lili: "Let's go, see you later!"
