After being transformed into a metaphysics poisonous concubine, the Yin Prey Prince was taken advant

Chapter 139 I choose to give you a helping hand

Feng Shuying turned around and saw Jing Shiyan standing behind her. She touched her chest lightly and asked, "Why is His Highness Prince Jin here?"

Jing Shiyan replied: "This boat shop is my maternal family's property. I came here for inspection today and happened to see you, so I came over to say hello."

He looked around and asked, "Do you want to rent a boat?"

She had read this book sporadically before Feng Shuying traveled through time. Most of the settings in it were relayed to her by her cousin, and she knew very little about it.

She only knew that Jing Shiyan's mother-in-law was of low status and was not favored, so he was not favored either.

As for what kind of properties he had, she really didn't know.

She asked: "How many boats does your maternal family's boat company have?"

Jing Shiyan replied: "I really don't know about this. It's just that more than half of the boats on this canal belong to my maternal family."

Feng Shuying: "..."

Feng Shuying: "!!!!!!"

She had always thought that because of the description in the book that his mother-in-law had a low status, she thought that his mother-in-law was the daughter of a small official and her status was not worth mentioning.

Only now does she realize that she was wrong. Fixed thinking kills people!
No matter how low the status of the emperor's concubine is, it is only relative and there must be something special about her.

The most profitable industries in this dynasty are salt and iron, but both are firmly in the hands of the state.

Because water transport controls transportation and logistics between the north and the south, it is actually a hugely profitable industry, earning extremely high price differences.

However, due to various reasons, the late emperor ordered the canal to be banned.

After Emperor Zhaoyuan ascended the throne, he abolished the prohibition imposed by the late emperor and reopened the canal.

Therefore, this dynasty has also thought about taking all water transportation into its own hands, but unfortunately, this industry requires a lot of money to purchase ships.

At that time, there were wars in the north and south of the country, the treasury was empty, and the dignified court had no money to buy ships.

Jing Shiyan’s mother-in-law then went to do some work for her natal family:
Although she was not of high origin, her mother's family was a big businessman in the Jiangnan area, and the most she had in her hands was money.

She knew that her family background was not high and she was not favored, so it was hopeless for Jing Shiyan to ask for that position.

But she wanted her parents' family to live a better life, and she also wanted Jing Shiyan not to be bullied by her brothers.

So he transferred the water transportation to his natal family. In this way, his natal family could make more money, and it also told other princes that Jing Shiyan had no intention of aspiring to the throne.

Because according to the status of this dynasty, scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants were ranked at the bottom. Although her natal family became a water transport envoy, this official position was extremely low in this dynasty.

And this position is essentially for doing business. Because he is doing business, he is not on the list of Emperor Zhaoyuan's successors.

At this time, Jing Shiyan didn't have any intention of seizing the throne.

Although he was not very favored, he was a prince after all, and he did not compete with his brothers for the throne. He had plenty of money on hand, so his life was quite comfortable.

Jing Shiyan asked: "Do you also think that my grandfather's family is in business, so you look down on me?"

Feng Shuying shook her head crazily: "Of course not, there is nothing cuter than silver in this world!"

"On the contrary, I think His Royal Highness Prince Jin has a very good temperament and is very righteous. He is worthy of respect."

Jing Shiyan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Don't you think money matters are very tacky?"

Feng Shuying's eyes widened: "It's vulgar to talk about money? Who said that?"

Jing Shiyan replied: "All the officials in the court said so." Feng Shuying said with disdain: "They don't like money so much, so don't ask for a salary!"

"They shouldn't use their money to buy rice to eat, and don't use their money to buy cloth to make new clothes!"

Jing Shiyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst out laughing: "This is the first time I've heard someone say that."

Feng Shuying asked: "Isn't what I said the truth?"

Jing Shiyan nodded in agreement and said, "It's true, it's just that I was mistaken before."

"Miss Feng, you are the most transparent woman I have ever seen."

After he finished speaking, he came closer to her and said, "Don't worry, I will keep your affairs a secret for you."

Feng Shuying looked at him, and he whispered: "The reason why my second brother offended Concubine Yun in the palace last time was because he did the same thing as me, right?"

"The reason why he does the same thing as me is because of the talisman of the third brother, right? And that talisman was given to the third brother by the girl, right?"

He may not understand these things at first, but if he thinks about them carefully, it is actually easy to get the answers.

Feng Shuying couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so she laughed: "His Royal Highness Jin is really good at joking, how could this matter have anything to do with me?"

Jing Shiyan said softly: "I thought the same way before. I felt that the matter could not have anything to do with the girl, so I didn't think about the girl at first."

"Everyone in the capital says that Third Brother is a lone star of evil, but I don't think so."

"Although Third Brother's previous fiancées died in various ways, I know that they were all murdered."

"When I first met the girl that day, I felt that someone with such a gentle temperament should not die in vain, so I wanted to help her."

"But I found that the girl is not as gentle as she seems. On the contrary, she is smart and brave and does not need my help."

"In addition, after today's incident with Concubine Xu, I have even more proof of my previous suspicion."

When he said this, he smiled at her, showing two cute little tiger teeth and said: "Third brother has never been interested in women, but he treats girls quite differently."

"Now that I think about it, there must be something special about the girl, otherwise she will not be able to catch the eye of Third Brother."

Feng Shuying looked at him and sighed in her heart:
This guy usually looks at Er Er as if he is completely careless, but in fact he is as careful as dust and has a clear mind.

She did not expect that her waistcoat was not discovered by the Heavenly Master first, but by the somewhat naive Jing Shiyan.

She said quietly: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is telling me this now to threaten me?"

Jing Shiyan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Of course not, I just think it's good for the girl to be like this. At least she has the ability to protect herself and won't die in vain at the hands of those people."

Feng Shuying asked him: "Who are those people your Highness is referring to?"

Jing Shiyan did not answer her question, but said, "Young lady is here to rent a boat. Does she want to leave the capital?"

"If the girl wants to leave the capital, I am willing to help her."

Feng Shuying was a little surprised when she heard this sentence, and looked at him with deeper eyes.

Jing Shiyan said softly: "I can understand the girl's thoughts."

"The girl is alone and is engaged to her third brother. It is indeed an excellent choice to leave the capital as soon as possible."

When he said this, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he really wanted to help her.

Feng Shuying asked him: "Why do you want to help me?"
