After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou actually knew about it, but they just turned a blind eye.

After all, most of Luo Jinshu's money came from Su Qingluo's support, which was her reward for helping Su Qingluo control the Luo family army back then.

It’s just that sometimes Luo Jinshu would feel that he had spent too much that month and was embarrassed to ask Su Qingluo for an advance, but in fact it was not a big deal at all.

Later, after Su Qingluo ascended the throne, she didn't care how much money she spent. After all, she could just ask Shen Luoling for an advance. However, as a businessman, Shen Luoling was really stingy. Although he was not unwilling to give her the money, he would always say a few words to her out of the instinct of a stingy businessman.

So there was a deal between Wen Zhimiao and Luo Jinshu. Wen Zhimiao supported her when she had no money, and she helped Wen Zhimiao buy all kinds of things.

When Luo Jinshu saw Wen Zhimiao, if that face wasn't somewhat similar to when he was young, she almost didn't recognize him.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. How come you've grown so tall?" Wen Zhimiao is now about 1.8 meters tall. Luo Jinshu's memory of her is still that of the little glutinous rice ball she was back then, so he naturally feels that the gap is a bit too big.

Wen Zhimiao was speechless for a moment: "Aunt Luo, have you ever thought that the last time we met was eight years ago, isn't it normal for me to be taller?"

"That's true." Luo Jinshu smiled.

She looked at Shi Wanyue beside her and Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu who had just entered the room. They had all grown up and were no longer the little kids they used to be.

"Why did you bring all your friends with you when you went out to do something?" Luo Jinshu asked Wen Zhimiao in confusion.

"They came to play. A-Yao and Tong-Tong are in the army now. My sister was ordered to come here to help me. Ling-Lang and Shu-Shu came here to play and see the local customs and practices. I will have to ask Aunt Luo to take care of them later."

Shen Luoling took over the conversation from the side: "I called you here for this matter. These two little ones want to go around and see the world like you. Although I travel around for business, I will go west soon. The road is dangerous and it is not convenient to take them with me."

Luo Jinshu stared at her and said, "That's really unfortunate. I also want to go west. I want to visit the western grottoes recently."

Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu looked at each other, Zheng Shu nodded slightly, and Qi Linglang said, "Aunt Luo, just take us with you. We can go to the west."

Luo Jinshu thought about it, then smiled and said to the two of them, "Then let's follow Merchant Shen together. It's safer to follow her caravan."

Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu nodded obediently: "Okay."

Shen Luoling:......

“You still know how to rub.”

Luo Jinshu laughed: "If you need to rub it, then rub it."

The show outside was about to begin, and fireworks were blooming in the sky. Today's fireworks technology is very advanced, and there are some beautiful fireworks.

In fact, Wen Zhimiao has never really understood why fireworks technology is so mature, but no one is researching gunpowder. In her memory, although gunpowder already existed in the Song Dynasty in her previous life, it didn't seem to be particularly strong.

It was only after it was introduced to Europe that it developed further.

Some people say that it is because the Chinese people have a peace-loving gene in their bones, but if you read the history books over the past five thousand years carefully, you will find that they are not that peace-loving.

Although everyone loves to farm, when there is no land to farm, don’t you have to steal other people’s land to farm?

My land is not enough, and I think your land is good. Let me borrow it to farm some crops. As for whether you will return it or not, we will talk about it later.

Wen Zhimiao didn’t know much about history, so she didn’t quite understand this question. Maybe Yun Zhou knew better, but Wen Zhimiao had never asked about it.

After the fireworks, the official performance began, including water dragon dancing, fire-breathing, and local dances to worship gods.

It was still very magical for Wen Zhimiao and other people who had never seen the world.

As the head of a local gentry family, Duan Jiling still had to go out and say some polite words. Wen Zhimiao and the others stayed in the private room and watched all the performances leisurely.

I was still shocked after it was over, and it was different from the performance I saw the day before.

Festivals like the God Festival are indeed a combination of art and excitement.

After that, the group played here for a few more days. After the festival to worship the gods was over, Shen Luoling was about to leave. Feng Qing had just returned from another place. Shen Luoling came here to wait for Feng Qing. After all, she still needed her to lead the way on the journey to the west.

They were leaving, so Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu would naturally follow them.

This time Shen Luoling and others will not go to Nanshao, so they have to part here.

When leaving, Zheng Shu hugged Shi Wanyue and cried for a long time. She had almost never been separated from Wen Zhimiao, Shi Wanyue and others since she met them in Imperial College when she was young.

I’m afraid we won’t see each other again for a year or two after we part today, so it’s hard not to feel a little reluctant.

"I have sorted out the method of making gunpowder. It is in the book I gave to Miaomiao. I may think of ways to improve it later. If I have any new ideas, I will send a message to Miaomiao." Zheng Shu said to Wen Zhimiao while crying.

"Lord Linghu is here to take care of the flood control issues in the south. I have told her everything I can think of." Qi Linglang also took over the conversation.

Wen Zhimiao nodded gently, went over and gave Qi Linglang a hug: "Have fun, don't think too much."

Qi Linglang was still restrained, but her eyes were a little red.

Luo Jinshu watched the farewell of the young people and looked at Shen Luoling with some curiosity: "Shangzhu Shen, do you have such a friend?"

"No." She had difficulty walking and was not in good health since she was a child. It was good enough that her peers did not laugh at her. How could she have such a good friend? From childhood to adulthood, she only had her sister Shen Ningzhu by her side.

But she and Shen Ningzhu have never been separated since childhood.

When she was young, she helped her brother with advice and strategies just to protect her mother and Shen Ningzhu. Later, Ning Jun found her and helped her leave the Shen family and asked her to work for Su Qingluo. At the beginning, she was under a lot of pressure and very busy, but fortunately, Shen Ningzhu was always with her.

She didn't expect to have such friends in her life, it was enough for her to be with Shen Ningzhu for the rest of her life.

People cannot ask for too much, only by being content can one be happy.

"Me neither." Luo Jinshu looked at those young men with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

But it’s good to see him once now.

"It's okay, His Majesty is behind you."

The friendship between Luo Jinshu and Su Qingluo is rare.

Of course, Shen Luoling was not sure whether this friendship could last so long, whether it was because they really had a deep affection for each other, or because Luo Jinshu had no power and would not cause any harm to the court or the country.

"That's right. That's the strongest backing in the world. I told you that I wrote to Yun Zhou a few days ago, asking her if she wanted to go out with me, without Su Qingluo, but she actually wrote to me threatening me that she was going to cut my pocket money."

Shen Luoling:......

She thought it was good enough that Su Qingluo didn't chop off her head.
