Today's supporting actress is also showing off her acting skills

Chapter 20 Uncle
Boyun's hand picking up the chess pieces paused, then shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Xue still has a big heart. With his aptitude, even with his son, he can't beat the eldest princess."

"I don't understand," my confidant asked, "Although this eldest princess is the younger sister of the Holy Majesty, she is only a woman after all. How can she have the right to establish a tooth and start a mansion?"

"You have lived in the north of Saibei for a long time, so naturally you don't understand the subtlety of the game." Boyun flicked the chessboard away and tapped in the center, "The emperor is like living in the north and surrounded by stars. Not to mention that there was a heroine in Xiguo There are precedents, looking at the current princes, there are few princes. Nowadays, the emperor does not take charge of the state affairs, and the hearts of the courtiers are fluctuating, so there are not a few people who support the eldest princess's mansion."

"That's how it is," his confidant realized, "As expected of Uncle, he can know the current situation like the palm of his hand after only one day in the imperial capital."

Boyun lowered his eyes, noncommittal to his flattery, "You just said that the son went to Nancheng for the second time, but..."

The confidant hurriedly reported: "Although the young master went to Nancheng for the first time, we failed to find out the news, but he went there again at night. We learned that he went to ask about Su's family, but we found nothing."

Boyun smiled: "The two children of the Su family? How could the assassin Han Lianchen raised with his own nephew be easily discovered by outsiders? Speaking of which, what is Han Lianchen's plan? Now that the two are missing one, Did he find another assassin?"

"Originally Captain Xue agreed to arrange it, but now the eldest princess is blocking it, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Then find one for them, and remember not to reveal your identity."

The confidant suddenly raised his head, unable to hide his shock, "Uncle, this is what you want"

"Shh!"

Boyun got up and brushed aside the hanging bamboo curtain, and walked to the window. A dead branch stretched into the room, leaving a sparse reflection.

The moonlight outside the window was dim, like a cloud of uncertain shades.

"We are not killing people, we are just helping Han Lianchen. What's more..."

He stretched out his hand and broke off a dead branch that had protruded into the room.

"Killing the King of Yue, why dirty your hands?"

After the first snowfall, the streets were covered with thick snow, and the glazed tile roofs were dyed silver. Cuihexuan's clerk was sweeping away the snow in front of the door with a broom.

It was freezing and freezing outside, but several braziers were lit inside the house, which was so warm that it made people drowsy. Jin Changying was sitting behind the desk between Cui and Xuanli, holding an abacus in his hand and looking at the accounts on the ledger. , Green white jade fingers moved quickly on the wooden abacus, leaving behind a series of afterimages. The movements were very skillful, as if they had been done thousands of times. From time to time, they picked up the wolf hair next to them and wrote on the account book.

Zitang waited on the side, grinding ink for Jin Changying.

Just after the first snowfall, Cuihe Xuan welcomed many guests. In a place like the West Market where land is extremely valuable, the people who come here are all the wives of high-ranking officials. Cui Hexuan, which just opened not long ago, has become the home of these ladies and ladies. A place I frequent recently.

There are quite a few places in the Imperial Capital that sell jewelry and jade ornaments, but few of them are as novel and exquisite as Cuihexuan. What's more, the owner of Cuihexuan is extremely ingenious.

There are two types of jade jewelry in the store. One is for more customers, with exquisite styles and characteristics, and affordable prices, which are acceptable to most customers. The other is the only one-of-a-kind model in the store, and the price is higher. , and the style is more exquisite, but only one or two models are sold every month.

However, for these aristocratic ladies with prominent families, the most indispensable thing is silver. No one would not want unique things, not to mention the exquisite and beautiful jade ornaments produced by Cuihexuan, which are not only superior to other Yuxuan jewelry. How much, so far only the daughter-in-law of the right minister's family has ordered a set.

So these ladies and wives of officials are naturally flocking to Cuihexuan's jewelry, but there is a rule in the store, only one set is released in a month, some people originally wanted to use their power to overwhelm others, but after learning that the owner behind Cuihexuan is Zhenming County After the Lord, he immediately withered away.

The county owner Zhenming has a great reputation, no one would want to trouble her for a set of jewelry.

Unable to buy the limited edition, these ladies turned their attention to other jewelry in the store, and found that the styles were not inferior to the customized ones, so the other jewelry in Cuihexuan were also sold out. Because the supply exceeded the demand, Cuihexuan's jade jewelry Even among the ladies, prices were being inflated. Jewelry that originally cost dozens or even hundreds of taels was actually sold at sky-high prices of thousands of taels.

Jin Changying was speechless when he found out, and secretly hated himself for not having enough brains. Otherwise, if he drew hundreds of pictures in one night, would he still be afraid of running out of money?

However, Jin Changying is still very satisfied with the current situation. After all, things are rare and expensive, so he can just maintain the current inventory.

As the end of the year was approaching, Cuihexuan, which was already bustling with crowds, became more and more popular. Jin Changying had to spend more money to hire a few guys, and at the same time, he was also thinking about whether to open another shop.

While Jin Changying was planning, he was thinking in his heart.

At this time, the heavy door curtain inside was lifted, and a gust of cold wind came in. Jin Changying couldn't help shivering. Fu Zhuo, wearing a black riding suit, put down the door curtain and walked in with the air-conditioning all over his body. After staying outside for too long, his nose and cheeks turned red from the cold.

Jin Changying put down the abacus in his hand, walked over, patted the snow on his body with a handkerchief, and blamed Fu Yao for not wearing more clothes, but he looked like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

Seeing his wife's angry face, Fu Zhuo felt a warm current flow through his heart. He took the handkerchief from Jin Changying's hand, and said in a warm voice, "I'll do it myself, you should be careful not to catch a cold."

"Aren't you on duty today? Why did you come back so early?" Jin Changying handed the stove in his arms to Fu Zhuo.

Fu Zhuo refused, so Jin Changying forced the hand stove into Fu Zhuo's hand, raised his head and glared at Fu Zhuo with bright eyes, Fu Zhuo accepted it obediently, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, looking at Jin Changying brightly. The eyes of the stars are more and more ironed in the heart.

"The Holy Majesty selected one from each of the sixteen guards of Nanya as the Shenwu Army to guard the palace, and I will be among them tonight." Fu Zhuo replied truthfully. What he didn't say was that he was selected as the Shenwu Army as soon as he left. command.

When Jin Changying heard the words, she nodded clearly. When it came to keeping the year old, as the county lord, she would also go to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.

On New Year's Eve, Fu Zhuo had some important business to do, so he couldn't go to the palace banquet with Jin Changying, but as far as Jin Changying knew, she seemed to be able to bring a family member into the palace.

[Host, what a great opportunity, it happens to be able to bring the heroine into the palace and let her practice leveling. 】The sound of the system sounds at the right time.

Jin Changying rolled her eyes in her heart, and said angrily: "Don't worry, I don't need you to tell me! I can't treat your mistress badly!"

[How can the host say that? Completing the task will bring benefits to the host yourself. 】The system said innocently.

Jin Changying snorted coldly in his heart, and didn't bother to care about it anymore.

Fu Zhuo saw that his wife's expression was sometimes speechless and sometimes sneered, but he thought she was extremely cute.During the time since the two got married, Fu Zhuo could also see that this Zhenming county lord was not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said, but was very genuine, affectionate and righteous.
