Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 374

I don't know what that Hu Shang heard, sometimes he pursed his lips and smiled, and sometimes frowned slightly.Jin Xiang listened carefully, only to hear Yingying buzzing and buzzing, unable to grasp the main point.It is not known what the Hu businessman heard.

As soon as the food was served, Jin Xiang got up to leave.

Hu Shang immediately asked to stay, Jin Xiang smiled and said: "Prepare for the distinguished guests, everyone please use it slowly, I still need to report to my master, so I can't accompany you."

"Dare to ask the lady's surname?" Hu Shang cupped his hands and said.

Jin Xiang smiled, and retreated without leaving her surname.

The Hu merchant's eyes were glued to her all the time, until she got out of the Yuelai restaurant, got into the carriage, and disappeared from sight, then turned back, "This little lady is a little interesting!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to move his chopsticks, but his attendants blocked him, as if they were using a silver needle in their hands, tried every dish very quickly, and then stopped and came back.

Hu Shang smiled indifferently, "Too careful."

Hu Shang's entourage whispered: "When you go out, you should be careful."

Hu Shang nodded, and then began to eat with his chopsticks. The people accompanying him were just sitting together and did not dare to move their chopsticks.Seeing that he is eating very happily in the eyes of everyone, how can there be someone who thinks that the food is not so lively, and the taste of the food is lacking?

Jin Xiang returned to Prince Qi's mansion and immediately went to the upper room.

Shen Xinniang had just put Fang Li, who was full of energy, to sleep, and gestured to her to keep silent, and asked the nanny and Dan Xin to stay by the bed. She and Jin Xiang walked out of the room with light steps, and came to talk in the corridor outside where the earth dragon was burning. .

"Is it done?" Shen Xiniang asked.

Jin Xiang nodded quickly, with a proud expression on his face, "It's done, it's all settled, and two bolts of cloth are set aside every day. He said that they will stay in the city for about half a month, and I promise to keep it for him." Thirty bolts of cloth. He also agreed, and invited them to eat at Yuelai restaurant, so the Hu businessman was so happy."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Jinxiang is really impressive! She looks like a shopkeeper! Very good! Very good!"

"My lady, please don't make fun of the servant girl!" Jin Xiang said with a smile, "If it wasn't for being forced here by sister Danxin's words, the servant girl wouldn't take on this job. That barbarian is really unruly, so please be polite. Not at all, the eyes are still bold and presumptuous! The servant girl doesn't even know how she resisted!"

Shen Xinniang looked at her with a smile, "I did a good job. Didn't you envy Danxin at the beginning that he got [-]% of the bonus from Qin's pawnshop? Now I will give you [-]% of the bonus from Yunxiangbu, how about it?"

Jin Xiang was stunned when she heard the words, it turned out that the lady asked her to do this errand, wasn't it to punish her for talking to Dan Xin whether she was too big or too small?Didn't you mean to embarrass her on purpose?But he found a reason to reward her?In fact, she knew in her heart that she was a maid in the palace, and her time with the lady was not as long as her loyalty. When she first came to the lady's side, she somewhat meant to help the prince keep an eye on the lady.Although later I have proved that I am loyal to my wife.But I always feel that in front of my wife, I am not as friendly as Danxin.

On weekdays, I often argue with Dan Xin, and there seems to be a vague reason for this.The lady never said anything, but the lady may see everything in her eyes and keep it in her heart.

"My lady... maidservant, no maidservant!" Jin Xiang shook her head again and again.

"It's for you, don't want it, because it's not good?" Shen Xinniang asked seriously.

Jin Xiang shook her head hastily, "The servant girl has been serving the lady, and she has been serving the lady all her life. It is useless for the maidservant to ask for this."

Shen Xinniang laughed softly when she heard the words, "What stupid things are you talking about? I see you and Dan Xin bickering all day long, and you are also stupid. How can I always keep you by my side and waste your whole life?"

"Miss..."

"Okay, the elder dare not resign. When I gave Danxin back then, she was not allowed to refuse, and now it's the same for you, just accept it with peace of mind. It's also because you have done well in errands. If you don't have this ability, I can't give it to you." You." Shen Xinniang said.

Jin Xiang kowtowed her head to thank her, her heart was warm like a stove in winter.

"Oh, by the way, madam, there is one more thing. The servant girl was so focused on showing off that she had completed her errand that she almost forgot to mention it!" Jin Xiang wiped her eyes and said seriously.

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes, "What's the matter?"

"The Hu businessman, the servant girl looked at it, it is not easy. Ye Niangzi has a lot of people, and her eyes are also vicious. She said that the Hu businessman has a lot of background, and she is not lying!" Jin Xiang looked at the Hu businessman seriously. He detailed all his actions, "I see that the followers around him are skilled, and they should be above the maidservants. I'm not sure who they are, so the maidservants dare not act rashly."

Shen Xinniang nodded slightly, "Nowadays the Northwest War, there are not many Hu merchants, and Hu merchants who act like this are really suspicious."

Jin Xiang bowed and listened to the order.

Shen Xinniang said: "You said they will stay in the capital for about half a month?"

Jin Xiang nodded quickly, "Yes, the maid specially tested him."

"Get someone to stare at them, to see what their origins are, don't startle the enemy, pick the best players in the palace, stay away, and see what they plan to do when they come to the capital. If it is really an extraordinary origin, then it must not be. For a small business." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Jin Xiang took the order and left.

Naturally, these Hu merchants are not doing small business, they are making a big business.

The secret guards sent by the palace did not dare to get too close, so it was difficult to detect any verbal exchanges between Hu Shang's master and servant.And if they don't speak official language, it's useless to listen to it.I only found out that Hu Shang's followers are indeed all masters, their kung fu is first-rate, and they are not inferior to the masters of the palace.

When Jin Xiang dispatched his masters from the palace to watch the Hu merchant, he found that there seemed to be a lot less guards in the palace suddenly, most of them were not in the palace, and they didn't know where they were sent.

Jin Xiang told Shen Xinniang about the situation.Shen Xinniang thought for a while and nodded: "I see, it seems that the prince has assigned tasks to them, so don't be too nervous."

Jin Xiang nodded, but she still had doubts in her heart, "If it's an official business, you don't need the guards in the palace, you just dispatch the Jin Wuwei. If it's a private matter, why don't you let the lady know?"

Shen Xinniang smiled lightly, "It may be inconvenient to say, but it doesn't have to be concealed. I'll just ask the prince later."

Jin Xiang nodded repeatedly, seeing that the lady cared about this matter, she nodded and backed away.

Jin Xiang has always been as loyal as Dan Xin, but after Shen Xiniang gave her a [-]% bonus from Yunxiang Cloth, she seemed to automatically classify herself as Shen Xinniang's person, not the prince's person, and she must consider Shen Xiniang's plan in advance , and then think of the prince.It seems a little different from before.

After listening to Jin Xiang's report, Shen Xinniang was still smiling when she looked at her son from the side. There was nothing wrong with her heart, and she couldn't tell it at all. When Fang Yan returned from the palace and the husband and wife were alone, she Only then asked gently: "When I dispatched the guards of the palace, I found that you sent a lot of people in the palace? Is it a business or a private matter? Can you tell me?"

She didn't question directly, and it was easier to accept her. Fang Yan didn't reject her question very much. She nodded slowly, but frowned slightly.

"I sent it out. Is it a business or a private matter? This...it's hard to say."

Shen Xinniang shook her head quickly, "If it's inconvenient to say it, then don't open it, I don't want to inquire about the court affairs."

"Would I care about this with Xin'er?" Fang Yan sighed helplessly, "I just don't know whether it should be classified as a private matter or a business matter. Do you remember the letter from General Yu?"

"Hasn't General Yu been communicating with you all the time? Which one are you referring to?" Shen Xiniang raised her eyebrows and asked.

"It was he who said that he had found Mrs. Gongsun and reported her safety." Fang Yan said softly and in a low voice, "There is another thing mentioned in his letter."

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes curiously, and Fang Yan reached into her arms to caress.

"General Yu's letter, don't you always show it to the Holy Majesty and then don't keep it? Why is this letter still on you?" Shen Xinniang was a little surprised.

Fang Yan took the letter out of his arms and handed it to her, "You will understand after reading it."

Shen Xinniang took the letter suspiciously, quickly opened it, and skimmed through it.Dai Mei also frowned slightly, "He suspects that the Turkic people who kidnapped Mrs. Gongsun stayed in the capital for two months not to find out the details of Mrs. Gongsun, but to find out whether the prince of the Turks is related to the important officials of Daliang. Collusion?"

Fang Yan nodded, "His analysis is very reasonable. Kidnapping a little lady, even if it is a little lady in Gongsun's house, will definitely not take as long as two months. What's more, with Gongsun Lan's carefree personality, if you want to There must be many opportunities to start, why did it take so long?"

In Shen Xinniang's black and white eyes, there is the reflection of Fang Yan's frowning.

"And I also believe in General Yu's vision." Fang Yan said firmly.

Shen Xinniang nodded, "So, you sent out the guards in the palace to find out if there are important officials in the capital secretly contacting the Turkic prince?"

Fang Yan nodded slowly, looking deeply at Shen Xinniang with eyes like stars in the dark night, "The guards of the palace can be trusted, but I am worried that there will be disloyal people among the Jinwu guards. I don't know who is collaborating with the enemy, this is not good Give way."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Then where did you send people? How do you plan to find out?"

"It's so far from the northwest to the capital, even if you want to contact, there must be correspondence in letters. I'll send them to the official posts from all directions in the capital to intercept and check all letters entering the capital." Fang Yan said with downcast eyes.

"What do you gain?" Shen Xinniang asked immediately.

Fang Yan shook his head in disappointment, "Not yet."

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, but suddenly pulled Fang Yan up and walked out.

She walked in a hurry, very fast, and she recovered her Taoism, and she was very strong. Fang Yan was unguarded and was almost dragged by her.
