Shen Yu didn't say anything more. He took his hand back and patted his arm gently, "Come on!"

Duke Dingguo was filled with pride when looking at his little grandson. This was the third generation of the Xue family who he had personally taught. It was quite remarkable that a seven-year-old boy could remain calm in the face of praise or criticism!

He glanced at Lu Yingxing who had been standing beside Shen Yu like an invisible man. Humph! He is also a good pretender!

At this time, the second princess must have just received the news. She rushed out from the back and shouted, "Grandfather! Is Xiaoguai all right?"

Xue Yanlei's body stiffened when he heard this name. Shen Yu held back his laughter and pulled the second princess back, correcting her, "What do you mean by little darling? I'm a little man starting today!"

"Our Lei'er is both a good boy and a little man!" Mrs. Xue always followed her son, fearing that he would be taken away again if she didn't pay any more attention to him.

Shen Yu tried hard to hold back her laughter. These little brats loved to act like adults. If he dared to call his brother a good boy, she could guarantee that Mu'er and Tian'er would be very cold for a month.

The second princess smiled and said, "Oh~~ Our little darling has become a little man~~"

Xue Yanlei didn't want to pay attention to her cousin anymore. She took her weak mother's hand and walked aside to comfort her. Before leaving, she also looked at Shen Yu with gratitude. Grandpa was right. This princess is indeed a wise person!

"We were able to escape danger today, all thanks to the thoughtful planning of the prince and princess, otherwise Lei'er would have suffered!" Duke Dingguo looked up and said. Although he wanted to train his grandson, the danger was happening right in front of him. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried. Even though he knew that the secret guards would definitely rescue his grandson, if he really fell, he could not be sure of the injuries.

Besides, even he thought the railing was just bamboo, who would have thought it was just a disguise?

It must be said that this imperial concubine is also a wonderful person. He has also heard the "Anti-kidnapping Children's Rhyme" before. Someone who can do this for a child will naturally not make such a low-level mistake! And she is really bold in transforming the "Moon Viewing Tower". The design of this "Meeting Platform" is very good. He has a good impression of both of them.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How could such a little trick of mine fall into your trap?" Lu Yingxing finally spoke his first words of the day.

He looked at his daughter-in-law and granddaughter who were asking about his grandson's well-being, and asked curiously, "I heard that you guys are gathering together to discuss something new today. Do you welcome an old guy like me to see it?"

Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the Duke is well-informed?"

"Humph! If you wanted to hide it, you wouldn't have made such a big show of meeting at the Moon Viewing Tower!"

Therefore, the women of the Duke's Mansion returned home first, but only the old Duke and his little grandson stayed to join the group chat. Everyone in the Suzaku Room looked at each other, and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

Finally, it was the eldest prince who broke the silence. After all, this was his grandfather. "Hey! Princess Zhuo just mentioned the tourism industry. I'm also curious, what is the transportation industry you mentioned?"

He knew that Shen Yu was not the reserved person. No matter who it was, most people would behave properly when elders were around.

Shen Yu really didn't care, but he thought this uncle was quite gossipy, so he continued to explain, "Let me give you another example. For example, I just said goodbye to a relative at the 'Meeting Platform' today, but the next day I realized that I forgot to give him something. As a powerful family, it is normal to find someone to send him off alone, but ordinary people don't have this condition! Right? Moreover, if it is just an ordinary item, it doesn't matter, but what if it is a family heirloom?"

"Puchi! I wouldn't have forgotten to give it to you if it's a family heirloom!" the second prince complained!

Then he successfully earned the glares of the whole audience. Fu Yunxiu angrily said, "Shut up! Don't interrupt my train of thought!" Then he put on a flattering smile and said, "Princess, please continue!"

"The Second Prince is right. I'll just exchange it for something else. After all, heirlooms are priceless, and it's hard to estimate their value... Then consider it as a box of jewels that I want to give you. Is it worth about thirty thousand taels?"

Seeing everyone's curious faces, including the two newly joined grandparents, Shen Yu deliberately kept everyone in suspense, picked up the cake in front of him and asked, "If it were you, and you wanted to deliver jewelry worth 30,000 taels to Zhuocheng, how many people would you usually send? Everyone, tell me?"

"At least we need a small team of secret guards!" Lu Ziyou was the first to answer.

"I might send a team of palace soldiers!" said the Prince of Licheng. He has a lot of men under his command, so this is not a problem for him at all.

"Princess, does this box of jewelry have any special meaning? Different values ​​should have different appeals, right?" Xu Yaying asked after a moment of thought.

Shen Yu looked at her with satisfaction, she was indeed a modern person who had used insured express delivery! !

Everyone was thoughtful after hearing this, even Duke Dingguo looked up and gave Xu Yaying an admiring look.

"Wow, that's great! Sister Xu, I couldn't think of this! You are so smart!" The second princess said excitedly!

"Indeed, if it is something entrusted by an old friend, and jewelry that can be collected casually, there will be different ways to deal with it. For the former, I should directly entrust it to the escort agency, and then send a team of followers to escort it to ensure that it is safe. But if it is the latter... I might directly exchange it for 30,000 taels of silver notes. Where can't I buy jewelry?"

The eldest prince saw the admiration in his grandfather's eyes, but he did not praise him in any way. In many cases, too much is as bad as too little.

"This should depend on the strength and connections of each mansion, right? For example, Prince Zhuo's mansion directly sent out Wu Chen and killed him instantly! If it were me, I would probably ask my uncle from the Cao Gang for help, right?" Ye Muan said as a matter of course. Everyone present was not absolutely wrong. They had more information than others. Wu Chen was indeed a powerful weapon, not to mention the Cao Gang that controlled the waterways.

Someone who had been hiding behind her in a low-key manner raised his eyes to look at her again. This time, there was finally a hint of joy of being affirmed in his usually cold eyes.

Shen Yu did not continue to keep the secret, anyway, her goal had been achieved, "So, we can't represent the majority of people! After all, the number of ordinary people is much larger than that of the rich and powerful, but they also have the need to give gifts and visit relatives!"

She stretched out her left hand, pointed at her palm and said to Lu Feifeng, "This piece is your Youcheng, and the other five fingers are the roads leading to different cities, and you serve as a transit station..." Before she finished her words, her hand was suddenly pulled down by Lu Yingxing. He said with a dark face, "Use mine!" Then he stretched out his big hand.

Everyone, “…………”

Shen Yu thought his domineering attitude was quite cute, so he smiled and pulled down his hand, playing with it while saying, "Look, if Youcheng can be used as a similar transit station, wouldn't this advantage come out? It's OK to escort people as you said, but what if I just want to send some ordinary items to my relatives in Zhuocheng? Escorting people is too expensive!"

"But if you have regular delivery services, as long as the delivery person specifies who the item is for, and the consignee picks it up with proof of household registration, a certain transportation fee will be charged... Of course, if it's something entrusted by an old friend like I just mentioned, then it will be charged separately and the order will be dispatched according to the price. For example, if you are willing to give me 50,000 taels of protection money, I believe that masters like Wu Chen and his group will be happy to take a private order if they have time, right?"

Shen Yu didn't think of insuring the item. After all, in ancient times, even if an item was really lost, it would be difficult for ordinary people to claim compensation for the loss. It would be better to directly place orders based on the value. After all, there will always be experts willing to make extra money!

Wu Chen nodded out of courtesy. If they were just giving away something and they were giving fifty thousand taels, and the prince allowed it, he believed that his men would definitely be happy to do so. Besides, wasn't this also a chance for training?
