(1/2)

Qingchen's words were filled with anger, but fortunately, they were not filled with blood. I knew that it was not a solution to dissuade me blindly. Now my only hope is to find Qinghan as soon as possible, and I hope he can calm down sooner.

One night passed, and early the next morning, Su Su came to serve me in high spirits.

Of course, there were a large group of servants and maids when she returned to the Yan family, but she was the most convenient way. After washing up, she finished breakfast. I asked her to ask the servants to prepare the car. After a while, Aunt Hong came over and asked me: "I heard that the young lady asked to prepare the car. Is there anything wrong with going out?"

I nodded: "Go out and have a look."

"But I have to arrange some people to follow."

"No need, this is Chengdu. I am at my own place, so there is no need to be so crowded."

Aunt Hong said, "It was because I returned to my home that I had to rush around. There was such a girl next to you. Who knew you were Miss Yan?"

I also smiled: "Aunt Hong, you wish I could put a note on my forehead, with four big words written on it - Miss Yan, everyone can tell me at a glance. It's better to retreat from a distance, right?"

Aunt Hong was amused by me.

After a while, the carriage was ready. Aunt Hong sent two servants to follow me. She personally took me into the car and reminded me: "Miss should come back earlier. In the past two days, I'm afraid that many people will come to the door, but the head of the family is alone, afraid that he will be hurt."

I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can't delay for a while."

She then felt relieved and stood there watching our carriage slowly sail forward.

After walking for a while, I heard that it was getting lively outside. I didn’t have to look outside and I knew that I entered the lively market.

The last time I went to wander around Chengdu was a few years ago. Pei Yuanxiu, Miaoyan, Qinghan and Wen Fengxi were with me. The situation at that time was completely different from now, but the person I was going to meet was the same.

The carriage walked for almost an hour and passed by the lively streets. Looking at the bustling shops on both sides, the scent of people emitted by the street snacks, and the sounds of the vendors shouting in familiar tones, each of which made me feel extremely familiar and comfortable, but I didn't stop. The carriage turned into a highway, which was much quieter than the commercial port just now.

The carriage was parked at the door of the Tiejia Money House.

Immediately someone came up to greet me. The servant who was accompanying me hurriedly stepped forward. After saying a few words, the greeting man was stunned for a moment, looked at our carriage, nodded quickly, turned around and ran in.

After a while, a young man came out, I got out of the carriage, and he immediately bowed to me.

"I've met the young lady."

I thought it was Tie Yushan who came out to see me, or the old man named Mo who was in charge of the business before, but I didn't expect it to be a strange young man. I looked at him and he immediately introduced himself: "I'm going down Tieyun."

I immediately said, "Oh, you are the eldest son of Tie."

"I have been traveling abroad in my early years and have never met the eldest lady."

"You are welcome."

He said, and welcomed us in. This time, unlike when we came before, there was no clearance. Naturally, there were still many guests in the money shop. He kept taking us to the yard where I had been to. After sitting down, someone brought tea.

I asked, "Where is Lingzun? I have something to look for him."

Tie Yun immediately said, "Unfortunately, my father went out a few days ago."

"Go out? What have you done?"

"I rarely care about my father's affairs."

"That's how..."

I frowned slightly. I had already wanted to ask him about Qingmeng, but I didn't expect that he had gone out so unfortunately, and Tieyun didn't know where he went.

Seeing me frowning, Tieyun asked carefully: "Is there anything important about the eldest lady coming to find my father?"

I looked up at him and just smiled.

The fewer people know about this, the better.

So I sat in their backyard and drank tea with him for a while, chatted for a while and then prepared to leave. Just as I was about to leave, I saw the pond I had seen when I came here before. There were still water rippling inside, and some golden little fish were running around, especially agile.

I asked, "By the way, I have seen a Mr. Mo here before. He seems to be your father's-"

"It's the butler. Grandpa Mo also watched us grow up."

"Oh, why didn't I see him this time?"

"He's out too."

"Who went out with Lingzun?"

"No, I just left yesterday, it seems like something happened at home."

I wanted to ask a few more questions, and Tie Yun probably saw it, and said, "He is an elder, and he doesn't care much about his affairs."

"oh……"

It means, I don't know.

I was a little disappointed, but I had no choice but to turn around and walk out. When I went out, I saw that there were still people coming and going in the money shop, which was particularly lively. I smiled and said, "Your business is really good."

Tie Yun smiled and said, "It was better a few days ago, but it has become much deserted recently."

"Is this still deserted?"

I looked at the customers in the money shop in surprise, and it was a little hard to imagine what he had said before.

Tieyun accompanied me out and said, "Miss, I know that there are wars outside now, and many rich people are running to safe places. Now, except for overseas, the safest place is our Xichuan. So a few days ago, many big families entered Chengdu and deposited a lot of gold and silver. It was only during that time that time that, and the threshold was almost broken by them."

"real?"

"Of course, how dare I deceive the lady," he said with a smile: "I have never seen such good business in the money house."

I smiled and said, "It's good."

"Yes, it's not big if you rely solely on local business."

“…”

This is like what I heard in the discussion of Xishan Academy before, and I feel resentful to me.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I walked outside the door and said, "If the war can calm down and the business can be done outside, then the business will be unimaginable."

Tieyun smiled: "I'm here, I have this intention."

We both looked at each other and smiled, and Su Su helped me get onto the carriage. I thought about it and turned back to him and said, "Mr. Tie, if Lingzun is back, please send someone to Yan's house to tell me."

He hurriedly said, "If my father comes back and knows that the eldest lady has been here, he will definitely visit him in person immediately."

"That's good. Say goodbye."

"I'm not far away."

I put down the curtain, and the carriage quickly shook forward and left the Tiejia Money House.

The weather is not that hot, but I still feel a little bored while sitting in the closed car. Su Su fanned me and said, "Miss has been in vain."

I smiled and said, "It's not a waste of running away, come out and take a look."

"Then, are you going back now?"

"I'm hungry and I can't catch lunch when I go back. Find a place to eat something first."

"Why!"

So we went to a restaurant first. It was during the meal that it was very lively. Several shop assistants ran up and downstairs, serving and greeting each other. Susu was worried that the smell around him would be pickled, so she had a little more money. The waiter dined us to the compartment by the window, separated from the lobby outside, and could hear the voices of those people talking, and there was no need to pass by them. It was much cleaner.

The dishes ordered were served in a short while, and they were very delicious. I ate a lot.

During the meal, of course, you can also hear the loud conversations of people on other tables. Someone was saying, "Have you heard that, the emperor is coming to our Xichuan."

"I still need to hear this? I've known it for a long time."

"It seems that the rumors are true this time. The head of the Yan family is really going to meet the emperor and have to negotiate."

"Isn't this what I've been talking about for a long time? Besides, you don't know about the discussion of Xishan Academy a while ago. You - the third brother, didn't your son go to their academy?"

"Yes. I've gained a lot of insights."

"Actually, it's fine to have a peace talk. Who is above is not above? I just heard that the new policy that the emperor had implemented in the Central Plains before spread the head tax to the fields. If he put this in our Xichuan-"

"Penal tax, haha, even the people working there are almost gone!"

"Yes, there are also large wastelands over us, and it's better to have no land if we really want to spread taxes into the fields like that."

"These are all trivial matters. If you really want to have a peace talk, it depends on what the Yan family members ask the emperor what they want."

"Yes, let's talk about it, can it really fit?"

I bit the chopsticks and couldn't help but put up my ears and listened carefully. The people there were quiet for a moment. Someone said, "Whether it is so easy? When the country was prosperous and the people were safe, I didn't see them treating Xichuan. Now, the Central Plains has become like that, and the emperor has been beaten to come here. Can I still get along?"

"This is hard to say. I didn't want to join the relationship before because the Yan family - you know that with the Yan family in Xichuan, it was not the emperor's turn to intervene. But now it's different. I heard that this time, the Yan family wanted to negotiate with the emperor."

"Okay, why do you need a peace talk?"

"I can't figure it out. If we really want to unify the emperor, will the emperor have no troops anymore? Could it be that we still have to send troops and horses to pay?"

"This, everyone thinks it's a loss-making deal!"

...

Listening to all kinds of doubtful voices over there, Su Su picked up a piece of meat and put it in my bowl, and said softly: "Miss doesn't have to pay attention to those people, and she yells around and doesn't understand anything."

I looked down at my job and shook my head gently.

Not necessarily.

On a certain level, the people know Xichuan best. They may understand the best whether Xichuan should have a peace talk or what they need to get in the peace talks.
