(1/2)
My thoughts were still on his expressionless sentence, "I have money" and I still couldn't come back to my senses. He looked at me for a while before saying, "You are the eldest lady of the Yan family. You must know that Xichuan is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The Yan family plays this role to a large extent."
I nodded: "I know this."
"However, there are some businesses that the Yan family is involved in, so they can no longer act as an arbitrator."
“Is there any?”
“Salt road, mine, wine.”
I blinked - this is naturally the most profitable business. Pei Yuanhao took back the autonomy of these businesses from the Yang family to the court, which can be seen. However, before I left Xichuan, I had no intention of asking about these things. When he suddenly talked about them, I was also blinded.
However, since you have to negotiate business, of course you have to make up for it so that you can know yourself and your enemy.
I asked, "If it's this kind of business, who is the arbitrator?"
Liu Qinghan glanced at me: "Zhang Mingzong."
“…”
These three words made my breathing stagnate for a moment.
After a while, I repeated skeptically: "Zhang Mingzong?"
“…”
"It's them?"
"Um."
I took a deep breath.
Changmingzong, Changmingzong!
After meeting the Master of the Guardian in Taimiao, this name, or this force, has been rumbling in my mind. I have no time to spend too much energy to investigate, but since I have returned to Xichuan, this matter will be on my agenda sooner or later.
I just didn't expect that the opportunity would be delivered to me so soon.
Seeing a flower blooming on my face as if a flower was smiling, Liu Qinghan also laughed, but said, "Before you can go there, you'd better prepare first. Chanjuan had dealt with them before, so you should ask her first, and everything will be planned and not be chaotic. "
"You don't need to say this."
Looking at my excitement, Liu Qinghan said with a smile: "I just knew that you were interested in them, but now it seems that it is more than just interested."
Of course it's not just interest.
Since I met the Master of Guarding the Country and since I learned about my mother’s experiences many years ago, I have been wondering if there will be anything between this force and my mother.
And after returning to Xichuan, these things became possible.
I met Liu Qinghan's questionable eyes, thought for a while, and the happy smile on my face slowly calmed down, and I looked serious: "There are some things that I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
I didn't speak immediately, but looked at Zhao Shuyuan. She drank all the bean soup in the small bowl. I told Susu: "Shuyuan is full. Take her to the yard for a walk, eat, and then take her back to bed."
"yes."
Su Su agreed and walked over to help Zhao Shuyuan up and walked out.
I didn't turn back until they walked away and said to Liu Qinghan: "This time I went back to the capital, I met the Master Huguo in Taimiao. Do you know this person?"
"I've heard of it," he said honestly, "I know you've seen her."
I nodded, without any surprise, he heard about some of the things that happened in the capital, and said calmly: "Then do you know what I have talked to her?"
He shook his head: "I don't know this."
I said, "She told me a lot about my mother."
"Lingtang..."
"Yes," I looked into his eyes and said word by word: "My mother is the princess of the previous dynasty. She has a deep and deep entanglement with the royal family and the Supreme Emperor."
Liu Qinghan looked at me with wide eyes.

We talked in the flower hall for a long time, and by the time we finished the talk, it was almost time to apply for it.
During this period, Liu Qinghan almost never spoke, and I was talking alone. At the end of his speech, his throat started to dry. He hurriedly took a cup of tea for me. Seeing me drinking half a cup, he stood beside him and frowned deeply: "So your mother is actually like this."
After drinking a lot of tea, my throat became more moisturized. I held the teacup and said softly: "For the years, I have been trying to find out what I have to do about her. This time, I finally have some clues."
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I am by the teacher, sometimes I hear him mention Mrs. Yan. Although I don't say much, I can see that he respects and admires Mrs. Yan very much. I don't think a person like him can be respected and admired by him, I don't think he is an ordinary person."
“…”
"Later, after I entered Sichuan, I would also hear some rumors about Mrs. Yan at the time, and I felt even more so."
“…”
"So, Lingtang is the princess of the previous dynasty."
He said, looking at me, his eyes flashing as if there was something to say, but I smiled faintly and said directly: "The greed of a gentleman has been killed for five generations. Although she is the princess of the previous dynasty, she will be nothing when she comes to me."
“…”
"Besides, humans are neither horses nor dogs, so they don't have to be famous species."
"..." He looked at me with a smile as if in his eyes: "You are already a famous family, so it would be a bit like that..."
"It is because I came from a famous family that I can say such words to be convincing."
He smiled and said, "Forget it, I can't fight for you."
As he said this, both of them laughed, and when he looked at me again, he looked slightly serious: "So this time, Changmingzong came forward to arbitrate, then you--"
"I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity so that I can find out."
"Princess of the previous dynasty...Changmingzong...?"
He whispered these two names, sucked them for a long time, and said softly: "Are you doubting that Changmingzong has anything to do with your mother?"
"Do you think this is possible?"
"Changmingzong, Changming..." He whispered the name softly again and said, "It seems that there is indeed a great possibility that even if it is not your mother, it may be-"

Even if it is not my mother, it may be someone related to the previous dynasty.
"But," he asked again, "had your mother never mentioned these things to you?"
"No. She hasn't even mentioned her identity to me, let alone these."
“…”
"Ha, sometimes I really feel that her tone is too strict, and she doesn't even have a clear understanding of her own daughter. How could she be like this?"
He was silent, as if he had thought for a while before whispering: "Maybe, she doesn't want you to grow up with too many things."
I looked up at him.
He said: "The previous dynasty is not far from now. All the gains, losses, successes and failures are in the eyes of people. Even some old ministers are probably still thinking about the previous dynasty in their hearts, let alone those who once had supreme power?"
“…”
"Not everyone can let go."
“…”
"What do you think?"
I thought for a while and said lightly: "That can only be said that she underestimates her daughter."
As he said that, he couldn't help laughing, and I laughed too.
After laughing, I put the teacup back on the table and stood up. He accompanied me out of the flower hall. The two of them slowly paced along the bluestone path. He said, "This time, you are going to find out what's going on, but you should use more snacks in business."
"Don't worry, I won't miss you."
"I'll ask Chanjuan for advice more, she's very familiar with her."
"Can I take her with me?"
"It's better not," he shook his head: "I hope she doesn't have to come forward, just do it alone."
"Then are you really not worried?"
"What are you worried about?"
"I don't think the business is done, but in terms of price-"
"I said, money is not a problem, just negotiate the business."
“…”
"And I got the news that the Yan family and your brother seem to be very interested in this mine. This time, they should also send someone here. So, you say that the negotiation is not a problem, so don't be too full of words."
“…”
"I might as well tell you a briefing on this mine, I am determined to win."
I frowned slightly, then realized something, turned my head to look at him: "So, what kind of mine is that?"
