126 Cang Xiuxuan came to accompany her for her birthday
The price of century-old ginseng is only around 3,000 taels, and the price he offered is already considered very good.
"Sir, six thousand taels is really too high."
Song Chen shook his head, "The shopkeeper is not very good at all. My ginseng has spiritual energy. If you don't believe it, shopkeeper, you can try it."
The so-called try is to take a little bit from ginseng, put it in your mouth and you will know.
The shopkeeper didn't want to destroy the integrity of the ginseng, but he still carefully picked up the ginseng, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
Indeed, this ginseng smells different from other ginseng. It can make people feel refreshed and very comfortable.
"Shopkeeper, look at this processing method. This is a processing method that can preserve the medicinal properties to the greatest extent. Shopkeeper, buy this ginseng and sell it directly to the person who wants to save his life. The price is whatever you want."
The shopkeeper understands what Song Chen said.
This old ginseng root was rare. If it really fell into the hands of Huichun Hall, it would be really miserable for them, but it would cost 6,000 taels to buy it, and he was really reluctant to part with it!
Song Chen wasn't in a hurry, this business couldn't go away anyway.
The shopkeeper probably thought about having a cup of tea.
"Six thousand taels, I'll take it!"
"The shopkeeper is so generous. I will bring you something good next time. Don't worry, you will never lose money by doing business with me."
The money and goods are both settled.
Song Chen felt that it was too fast to make money in this way, and it felt very good. She decided to come here and give it a try next time she was in a bad mood.
With six thousand taels of silver notes, Song Chen left the county on horseback.
After leaving the city, Song Chen noticed that someone was following her, so she changed her original route and shook off the tail behind her.
She guessed that it was most likely the person sent by the shopkeeper of the medicine shop just now, who wanted to find out her identity.
She originally dressed up for fun, so how could anyone figure out her identity?
After returning to the town to return the horse, Song Chen found a place to change back into his previous clothes and returned to Beiguan Village leisurely.
After all this, it was already evening. When Song Chen came back, Mrs. Song had just prepared dinner. Song Chen washed his hands and took out the cake he had made before.
A large group of people looked at the big food box on the table and asked Song Chen with a smile, "Xiaochen, what new things have you prepared? Today is your birthday, why do you make it look like it's our birthday?"
.”
Song Chen smiled playfully, "Everyone's life is the same. Anyway, we all just have to be happy together."
I was too tired in my previous life, so I want to be more relaxed in this life.
Being happy is the most important thing.
As the food box was opened, everyone's eyes couldn't turn around.
The contents of the food box were something they had never seen before. It was yellow and looked very soft.
"This is a birthday cake. I got it from Liuweizhai. It's a new food developed by their boss. I was lucky enough to be the first to get it, and I just happened to take advantage of the occasion."
"The owner of Liuweizhai is indeed an interesting person." Li Wenyan was not surprised when he heard that it was Liuweizhai. He had known before when he was still in Beijing that the young master of the Su family had no interest in officialdom and was obsessed with eating.
Prime Minister Su was very angry.
Before eating, Song Chen distributed the cake to everyone.
It was soft and sweet in the mouth. It was completely different from the hot pot they had for lunch, but it was both delicious and delicious that they had never tasted before.
After dinner, Li Wenyan returned to his room and silently wrote a letter to Cang Xiuxuan.
He decided to live here from now on, so he needs Cang Xiuxuan to give him an identity that can see the light.
After writing the letter, he cleared his property again. The nearly ten thousand taels of silver were enough for him to buy a place here to settle down and retire.
At night, every household closes its doors and prepares to rest.
A burst of rapid hoofbeats disturbed the tranquility of Beiguan Village. The hoofbeats passed through the village and stopped at the door of Song Chen's house.
As soon as the sound of horse hoofbeats stopped, the door of Song Chen's house opened.
"Who's here in a hurry?"
The man on horseback turned over and dismounted. He was wearing a black robe that was very inconspicuous in the dark, and the cold wind lifted the corners of his clothes.
Without any hesitation, he walked to the door and said, "It's me."
Just two words, the concierge was shocked, and he quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness."
In the past, they all called them master, but now their master has become Song Chen, and they can only address Cang Xiuxuan as your highness.
Cang Xiuxuan nodded, "Has she rested?"
The concierge Youping responded, "Your Highness, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and went to Song Chen's yard, but this time he didn't dare to close the door.
Cang Xiuxuan was left hanging at the gate like this, feeling a little aggrieved in his heart. In the past, he had climbed over the wall directly to get in. Today, he was able to come in on Pegasus, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even get in.
But this is fine. This way Youping shows that they have sincerely accepted her as their master and will treat her wholeheartedly.
Youping came out soon, and Song Chen came out with him. When she heard Youping said that Cang Xiuxuan was here, she really couldn't believe it. It was so late and she didn't know about him.
What were you doing here? Worried about something important, Song Chen followed him out.
When we parted in the border town before, Cang Xiuxuan said that someone would use the affairs in the border town as an excuse to cause trouble for him. She had also been waiting for news from him during this period, but there was no news.
At the gate, the person standing with his hands behind his back was indeed Cang Xiuxuan.
Song Chen walked a few steps quickly, "Did something happen so late?"
There was an anxiety in her tone and expression that she was unaware of.
In the darkness, Cang Xiuxuan watched carefully, and felt soft in his heart.
He quickly took the cloak he was wearing and put it on her body. He took the opportunity to put his arms around her shoulders and said to Youping, "Go down, it's none of your business."
Both the old and new masters were here. Youping didn't dare to stay longer, so he quickly returned to the concierge.
Cang Xiuxuan helped Song Chen fasten his cloak, "How about we go for a walk together?"
It's rare to see the moon tonight. Although it's very cold, it's quite sentimental.
Song Chen raised his head and glanced at him, "Is this why you came here in such a hurry?"
Cang Xiuxuan smiled and took out a box from his body, "For this."
After saying that, he handed the box to Song Chen, "I almost missed your birthday. This is a gift. Let's see if you like it."
Cang Xiuxuan's voice was low and gentle, which made Song Chen feel a little dazed.
She suddenly had an idea, how charming it would be if he used this voice to talk about love.
However, after thinking about it, Song Chen still reached out and took the box, "Thank you."
"There is no need to talk about this between us."
"Okay, needless to say, this thing is worn close to the back."
"Wear it close to your body? Why?"
Song Chen was puzzled.
"This thing nourishes people. It's good to wear it." Cang Xiuxuan didn't say much.
Song Chen opened it and saw a jade bracelet inside, all black.
You can tell at a glance that this is something not simple.
"This..." Song Chen pushed towards Cang Xiuxuan, not wanting to accept it.
Cang Xiuxuan's eyes flashed, "This is your birthday gift. If you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it."
Song Chen had no choice but to accept the things.
Cang Xiuxuan also took something and put it on Song Chen's hand, "Don't take it off from now on. Jade is something that nourishes people. Don't take it off after you put it on, otherwise it will be in vain."
Song Chen moved his hands for a while, but in the end he didn't take the thing off, he just put it on his hand.
Such a bracelet is priceless. It is indeed too expensive to be used as a birthday gift, but because it is a birthday gift, it has to be accepted.
"Don't say that you came here specially to celebrate my birthday today." Song Chen knew in his heart that he shouldn't ask this question, but in the end he couldn't help but ask it.
As soon as she said these words, she felt something strange in her heart.
Cang Xiuxuan didn't say anything, he just looked at Song Chen without saying anything.
It took a while before Cang Xiuxuan spoke.
"The incident in the border town was a blessing in disguise for me. In half a month, the emperor's edict will come out. After a while, this place will become my place of house arrest. I will not be allowed to enter the capital without an edict."
Song Chen was shocked, "Is the matter so serious? Even if there were mistakes over there in the border city, they still defeated the Lakers Cavalry in the end. Why do you need to be placed under house arrest?"
Cang Xiu
Song Chen was silent.
It is inevitable to be born in the royal family. There is no family relationship at all in the royal family. In their hearts, they only have that position. Life and death is the most normal thing.
Among many brothers, only one can defeat one.
What's more, with such a bright face that makes all brothers jealous, in front of the emperor's favorite prince, naturally he would like to kill him if he can catch a clue.
"Then you are willing to stay here like this?"
Song Chen knew the answer in his heart, but he asked it anyway. The royal family had no family ties, and every prince was determined to compete for the throne.
"I'm not willing to give in, but I still have to stay here."
In fact, Cang Xiuxuan feels that now is the best time to stay here. His secret strength has never been revealed, which is the best trump card for him.
During the period when he withdraws, the other brothers will do whatever they can to compete for that position.
But only he knew that in the heart of the emperor, and in the heart of their father, the successor to the throne had already been decided. No matter how much they fought, the emperor had already made a decision.
Unless they are determined to kill their father.
He couldn't do this, and there was no need for him to do it.
In the past two years, the changes in court have been most obvious and frequent, and he just enjoyed his leisure time.
"It just so happens that you will grow up slowly in these two years, and I will enjoy a comfortable life here."
There is nothing wrong with her growing up slowly, but he may not be able to enjoy comfort. "In the next few years, if you can stay in your village with peace of mind, you will naturally be comfortable, but you may not be comfortable if you have a relationship with me."
"
In the past few years, she is about to expand, and this time will definitely not be the most comfortable time. If Cang Xiuxuan doesn't want to cause trouble, Song Chen can naturally clear the relationship with him.
