"Excuse me, Grandpa. I just said this casually. I'm a businessman. Only when Dongxia Country is doing well can my business do well. For me, business is the most important thing."

"Well said, you said it very well, hahaha..."

Jiang Chong is old and only has an empty title in the palace, but as the emperor's former tutor, many of his suggestions are of great value to the emperor.

He wanted to ask about Lin Ting's identity, but when he saw that she was a woman dressed as a man, he knew that she must not want others to know her identity.

Behind the screen next to Mr. Jiang, there was also a person listening intently to his conversation with Lin Ting. When he heard Lin Ting's words, he even stopped playing with the jade pendant in his hand.

No one could have imagined such a bold idea. If the court really implemented it, the dawn of Dongxia Kingdom would come in a few years.

Shen Qingzhou, who was also in Wenmoshe, chose to sit on the first floor in order to listen to the debate of these students more objectively. He also heard that an old tutor would come here today to listen to the debate on how to save and protect the country.

But after looking for so long, he didn't see anyone. Shen Qingzhou took the portrait of the old tutor from Qu Yuanxun and took it home. He couldn't help but look around Wenmoshe out of curiosity.

After checking the first floor and turning around, he looked towards the screen on the second floor. When he saw the people upstairs, he frowned and stared at Lin Ting and the others.

Lin Ting was glad that she didn't meet Shen Qingzhou this time, but in a blink of an eye, their eyes met.

Lin Ting hurriedly threw the fan away, but it was thrown upside down. He fumbled to fix the fan again and covered his face with it.

"It's over, it's been discovered!"

Han Yian was completely confused. Who discovered him?

Shen Qingzhou shook his head, walked through the crowd, put one hand behind his back, slowly walked up the stairs, and headed towards where Lin Ting and the others were.

Bailu and Xiaoman saw their master and then looked at their mistress, and had no choice but to give up their seats.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

Shen Qingzhou asked Lin Ting directly. He was not angry, but more helpless. If he had known that Lin Ting would not listen to him, he would have brought Lin Ting here himself.

"No, Grandpa and Master Han won't mind either, right?"

When Lin Ting asked back, Jiang Chong and Han Yian could tell that Lin Ting knew the man in front of him.

"sit down!"

Only when Jiang Chong spoke did Shen Qingzhou notice him. Isn't this the Lord Jiang in the portrait?

Lin Ting bowed to Lord Jiang and sat down with him by accident.

A few people listened to the Wenmoshe people continue to debate, and then talked about how to develop...

When it was almost over, Shen Qingzhou took Lin Ting and the others away first.

Jiang Chong walked to the window and saw Shen Qingzhou holding Lin Ting's hand downstairs and getting into the carriage together.

He raised his hand and asked the attendant behind him to come over: "Go and find out who this couple is."

couple?

The attendant was puzzled. Weren’t those young men who had just sat with Mr. Jiang all men?

Gay couple?

"Yes!"

The attendant did not dare to ask more questions. He remembered the two carriages. As long as those people lived in the capital, he would definitely find out.

"Let's go too. I'll go to the palace."

After Jiang Chong left, the person who was on the other side of the screen also came out. He did not follow Jiang Chong to the window to see Lin Ting, nor did he hear Jiang Chong say the word husband and wife.

"Your Highness, Mr. Jiang is heading back to the palace."

The seventh prince, Xiao Chu, is currently the most favored prince. He is seventeen years old. His mother, Concubine Xian, helps manage the harem and is very favored by the emperor.

"Go and find the scholar who was talking to Mr. Jiang just now. This prince wants to recruit him as his staff."

If Xiao Chu wants to become the crown prince, he must have someone like Lin Ting by his side, who is quick-witted and intelligent. Only such a person can help him win the favor of his father and successfully take the position of crown prince.

However, the direction of his investigation confused gender.

After returning home together, Han Yian clasped his fists towards Shen Qingzhou and said, "So you are Madam Lin's husband. My name is Han Yian, so we are acquainted."

Shen Qingzhou nodded towards Han Yian: "Miss Han is well."

Lin Ting and Han Yian were both still wearing men's clothes, and their identities were discovered by Shen Qingzhou, so the atmosphere was really funny.

"Xiao Man, please send Miss Han home first. When I have time, I will invite you out to play."

Han Yian actually didn't want to go back, but seeing the couple in a stalemate, she scratched her cheek and left.

"Remember, come find me next time."

Lin Ting's face was painted wheat-colored, and he smiled at Shen Qingzhou, looking silly.

"Hey……"

He held his forehead and shook his head: "Bai Lu, take Madam to wash herself clean. This is particularly... ugly..."

"It's obviously high-spirited. Can you describe it?"

From the way Lin Ting looks, she doesn't have much of a woman's gentleness, right?

But she ran to Wenmoshe without telling Shen Qingzhou, and she felt a little guilty about what she said, but in the end she obediently changed her clothes and removed her makeup.

When Lin Ting finished packing and went to the study, Shen Qingzhou had already started reviewing the debate he had heard today.

Lin Ting, wearing a green dress, sat opposite Shen Qingzhou, watching him write down some useful content from today.

"Madam, I went to Wenmoshe and listened to music all day today. What do you think?"

Lin Ting sat up straight. Today was still a fruitful day for her.

"The biggest conclusion today is that business has been developing towards the central part of Dongxia Kingdom for the past few years. The border towns may not seem like much now, but they are very dangerous and could be captured by Xiluo at any time."

Shen Qingzhou put down his pen, folded his fingers on the table, and looked at Lin Ting.

"Your idea is correct, but I think you should try to expand your business towards Northern Qi. I believe that before long, Dongxia and Northern Qi will definitely establish business relationships with each other."

Northern Qi was a small country adjacent to the Eastern Xia Kingdom. The two countries were relatively harmonious, but there was not much intersection between them so far.

"Northern Qi Dynasty?"

Lin Ting tapped two fingers rhythmically on the table, his eyes unfocused, as if he was lost in thought.

During today's debate, Lin Ting was certain that the Dongxia Kingdom would not be content with the status quo, but no matter what methods it used to resist, there would definitely be a conflict with Xiluo.

At that time, the lips and teeth will be in danger, and without the obstruction of Dongxia Kingdom, Northern Qi will be the next country to be oppressed.

Therefore, when that time really comes, Northern Qi will definitely be in agreement with the Eastern Xia Kingdom, and developing Lin Ting's business there will be the best, most stable and most profitable direction.

"Thank you for the reminder, husband. I understand."

Shen Qingzhou smiled at her and continued to organize the books and papers.

"That's good to know. Don't go to places like Wenmoshe anymore. Also, do you know who the person you sat with today is?"

"That old man may be in his twilight years, but his posture remains strong, he is calm and composed, and his eyes are filled with wisdom and depth. Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person."

Shen Qingzhou reached out and took out a painting beside him and handed it to Lin Ting.

"This is what my brother-in-law gave me. You'll know when you take a look."

Lin Ting slowly opened the scroll. Wasn't the person in the painting the old man who was sitting with them?
