He Jingchen nodded, also surprised by this.

If Mr. Situ had not felt that a direct invitation was presumptuous, he might not have conveyed the message through someone else.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, frowning slightly.

"I heard that Mr. Situ is a very strict senior. Apart from my grandparents, I seldom interact with elders. What if I don't choose the right gift?" she worried.

He Jingchen saw her worry and said with a soothing smile, "Don't be too nervous. Mr. Situ is partial to all kinds of beautiful jade. I heard recently that he is collecting Han Dynasty jade. Why don't you try this direction?"

Han Dynasty jade?

Su Yuan bit her lower lip lightly, caught in a dilemma.

Xiao Yanheng is currently busy with the war. Would it be too much of a bother if I asked him to help look for it?

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, He Jingchen couldn't help but ask: "Is there any difficulty, Miss Su?"

Su Yuan quickly shook her head in denial, "Not really, I was just wondering if Grandpa had left any jade for me."

He Jingchen's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully: "I am looking forward to the gift that Miss Su prepared. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

After saying this, He Jingchen left the small house.

After the guests left, Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh again.

How about going to the market and trying your luck?

Then I thought, even a senior connoisseur like Mr. Situ couldn't find such a good product easily, so how could I be so lucky?

Yang Sheng heard her sighs and looked at her curiously.

"You can go to an auction and bid. I heard there's one coming up soon."

"Will it be expensive?" she asked cautiously.

Yang Sheng looked slightly surprised when he heard this.

A tycoon with hundreds of millions of assets actually cares about the price of a piece of jade?

Su Yuan rubbed the tip of her nose guiltily. "Actually, I'm not well-off. Both the later stages of R&D and pharmaceutical production require a lot of investment. I'm also planning to open more branches, hire people to promote the product, and there are other expenses..."

She looked up and forced a smile at Yang Sheng.

"You should understand, right?"

Yang Sheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Your understanding is limited."

After saying this, he turned and went back to his room.

Su Yuan shrugged and turned to walk towards the backyard.

In the end, I still have to ask Xiao Yanheng for help.

Inside the Wei Imperial Palace, Xiao Yanheng was thinking about how to write a letter to Su Yuan when the eunuch in charge hurried in with a letter.

Recognizing the style of the envelope, Xiao Yanheng immediately sat up straight.

He couldn't wait to take the letter before the eunuch handed it to him.

"Xiao Yanheng, I really hate to trouble you, but I do have a problem and urgently need a piece of Han Dynasty jade. Could you lend me a hand?"

After reading Su Yuan's letter, Xiao Yanheng curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Seeing him smiling so happily, the eunuch in charge couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the goddess' letter?"

He carefully put the letter away and when he looked up, his smile had faded.

"Bring me those white marble Qilin statues I have in my collection."

"This……"

The eunuch in charge was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Those items were Xiao Yanheng's favorite things and had been kept in his bedroom for many years.

Does Your Majesty want to give the Qilin to the goddess?

The eunuch in charge couldn't help but advise, "Your Majesty, you are doting on the goddess too much. Perhaps you should find another way?"

"What else?"

Xiao Yanheng's face darkened, and there was a sense of majesty in his dark eyes, which was intimidating.

The eunuch in charge immediately lowered his head in fear.

"I have overstepped my authority."

Xiao Yanheng waved his hand, urging him to go and get the Qilin.

The eunuch in charge had just left when Long Fei rushed in covered in dust.

He ignored his image and knelt down in front of Xiao Yanheng.

Xiao Yanheng was surprised by his action and frowned.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Long Fei smiled innocently and replied, "Your Majesty, you promised to help us write a letter to the goddess. Do you remember our wine and yellow bean pods?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanheng was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to bury those memories deeply, but Long Fei still kept them in his mind.

Seeing the emperor's subtle expression, Long Fei's face instantly fell, and he complained with grievance, "Your Majesty, please don't forget the promise you made."

"I did mention the exchange of salaries, but are you all really willing to exchange them for these things?"

Xiao Yanheng deliberately put on a stern look, trying to make Long Fei give up.

After all, his transaction with the immortal was a private matter. If Su Yuan knew that he exchanged snacks for this group of people, wouldn't he lose face?

Unexpectedly, Long Fei was not scared off. Instead, he nodded repeatedly, "Of course I am willing. Not only me, but my other colleagues are also happy to do so. Your Majesty, please give me another bottle of wine. I have tried many fine wines recently, but I can't find the taste of the wine given by the immortal."

From that day on, he became completely obsessed with the fine wine of the immortals, and even his dreams were filled with the mellow fragrance.

Seeing Xiao Yanheng remained silent, Long Fei boldly continued: "Your Majesty, even if you don't say it, I understand that you will definitely reply to the immortal's letter."

After he finished speaking, an invisible pressure seemed to condense in the air.

Long Fei shuddered immediately and fell to the ground in panic.

Xiao Yanheng walked up to Long Fei, with his hands behind his back and his eyes as cold as ice.

"Long Fei, are you trying to spy on my feelings?"

"I dare not do this. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Hearing Long Fei's words with some fear, a complicated look flashed in Xiao Yanheng's eyes.

He turned around and after a long silence, made a decision.

"I can help you with this, but you must pay a corresponding price. Since immortals dislike vulgar things like gold and silver, you should go and collect some rare treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings. Remember, do not harm the people, and do not break the law."

Long Fei's face lit up with joy as he nodded eagerly in agreement: "I understand. I'll make the preparations right away."

After saying that, Long Fei immediately stood up and couldn't wait to share the good news with his colleagues.

Looking at Long Fei's excited back, Xiao Yanheng couldn't help but smile.

By helping them, he also had another excuse to communicate with Su Yuan.

He was eager to know how Su Yuan was living over there.

The chief eunuch presented the unicorns. Xiao Yanheng carefully selected two, put them into a box with his own hands, and threw them into the river.

He stared at the river, hesitated for a moment, looked at the guards behind him, but finally returned to the palace with a grim expression without saying a word.

Soon, Su Yuan received a reminder and she quickly opened the box.

They were actually two unicorns!

Xiao Yanheng is really generous.

Then, she unfolded the letter and learned that several generals were craving snacks and missed the wine she had given them last time. Su Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Those generals who were feared on the battlefield would actually cry and beg for snacks in front of Xiao Yanheng.

Just imagining that scene makes people laugh, especially Xiao Yanheng's helpless expression.

Although there were only a few words in the letter, she could imagine how funny the scene was.

Since the soldiers liked it so much, she decided to prepare more.

Use the money in the treasury to buy dozens of barrels of it.

Who knows, this might even develop into a small business.

After settling Qilin, Su Yuan couldn't wait to take Yang Sheng to buy some wine.
