The shopkeeper quickly walked to Fu Yanqing and bowed to salute: "The old man took the liberty, but that nobleman came?"

Fu Yanqing hurriedly helped him up: "The old man is serious, and the nobleman dare not be it, so come here uninvited. If you say it is presumptuous, I am the one."

"Where, you are polite, the eldest lady has repeatedly told me that the elder may come to Beijing in the near future. I have been waiting for a long time and finally let me wait. I have already notified the lady, you sit down, take a seat, and watch tea!" He smiled, looked very happy, and respected Fu Yanqing.

Fu Yanqing smiled slightly: "Old man, the next generation is junior. Wouldn't you break me down like this? My last name is Su, you can call me Miss Su."

The shopkeeper was not a stubborn person. Seeing that Fu Yanqing was serious, he quickly changed his mouth.

Fu Yanqing had heard of this shopkeeper a long time ago, and Sheng Yu had mentioned this old man in his letter many times before. The Sheng family had flourished in their early years, but because of poor management, they were suppressed by the Xuan family, and eventually had to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan to make a living. Sheng Yu's parents died early, and a dilapidated big family was supported by Sheng Yu, the eldest daughter, and the shopkeeper.

If he hadn't been taking care of Shengyu's sister and brother for so many years, and carefully teaching Shengyu, the Sheng family would have been completely gone. Therefore, Fu Yanqing also respected him from the bottom of his heart, and they were very polite during the conversation, which added a lot of goodwill.

Fu Yanqing only sat for half a cup of tea, and then heard two footsteps, one heavy and one light, and then the door creaked softly, and the bamboo curtain in the inner room was opened. A Qi and a woman walked in steadily. . She was wearing a lavender dress with a purple knot tied around her waist, which was slender at the waist.

She opened the door curtain and entered, her eyes fell on Fu Yanqing, and a hint of surprise was drawn across her deserted and delicate face, just like a flash in the pan, and in a blink of an eye she looked like condensation.

Fu Yanqing stood up, not caring about it, nodded gently, and said gently: "Sheng Yu, long time no see."

The woman called Shengyu looked at her up and down for a while, the coldness between her eyebrows and eyes softened, and she whispered: "Long time no see." Her voice was also a little cold, like mist in the rain. After speaking, she turned to the shopkeeper and called out, "Uncle Qin."

Qin Yue replied, lovingly said: "The eldest lady is here, you and the two of you talk about it, I will go to the kitchen to cook, let Miss Su also **** craft."

Sheng Yu nodded: "Let them help you."

Seeing Qin Bo happily leave, Sheng Yu slowly sat down beside Fu Yanqing, filled her cup with water, poured herself a cup, and drank slowly.

Fu Yanqing shook his head: "After so many years, your temperament has not changed. I don't know if you look like this when you talk about business."

Sheng Yu pursed her lips: "They are interested in profit. As long as it is profitable, I am hot or cold. What's the difference." After that, she turned her head to look at Fu Yanqing and slowly said, "You have changed. , More restrained than before."

I still remember the time when the Sheng family went for business, and when the goods were transported through the border of the Qiang and Daxia, they encountered a horse thief. At that time, Fu Yanqing and his party passed through the southwest desert and rescued their caravan.

At that time, Fu Yanqing was only seventeen years old. She was dressed in a plain cloth, and there were unexplainable vicissitudes between her eyebrows and eyes. One glance at the past revealed that she had many thoughts hidden in her heart. But now, he is still the same person, except that his eyes are more deep than those of the same age, and the eyebrows have become calm and peaceful. Although she is a little indifferent, she is not dissociated from the world and has a lot of human touch, but she is even more confusing.

Fu Yanqing did not answer, and smiled faintly: "Sheng's business has been doing very well these years."

"If it weren't for you to support and help all the time, I wouldn't be able to do this." After all, she knocked on the table: "Now Shengji is already the largest grain shop in Beijing. The harvest last year was good, and the grain was not easy to sell. According to your instructions, I asked Uncle Qin to collect a lot of grain in secret, and several spare granaries were full." After saying that, she frowned, "But this year, the weather is very good, and the crops are growing well. If there are no accidents, it must be again. It’s a good year, so much food..."

"You also said that if there were no accidents. Now it is only June, and there are still a few months before the harvest. Nothing is known. Moreover, even if the harvest is good, there are many people who can't eat enough. Good years are profitable. They are only officials, and when the time comes, selling them at a low price will be considered a merit.” However, she clearly remembers that this summer floods were everywhere, the Yellow River burst its banks, and many grains were destroyed before they waited for a good harvest. once.

Sheng Yu nodded, and frowned slightly.

"By the way, the Xuan family selling illegal salt has already been exposed, but, as expected, they used it very smoothly to abandon the car to keep the handsome."

Fu Yanqing raised her eyebrows: "If you don't abandon the car to protect the handsome, how can you make the **** thoroughly recognize the people they are loyal to? And only if those who have escaped, feel safe, can they relax their vigilance. Also, I don’t believe that half of the ledger, Xuan Shuo can easily ruin it."

"Xuan Shuo escaped, and escaping is equivalent to finding a dead end." Sheng Yu's words were simple and clear, without a trace of emotion.

"Then pray for him, my people can find him first." Fu Yanqing drank a sip of tea, then said seriously: "Chengyu, I am in the capital and need an identity. This identity must be able to deal with people in the court with integrity. They won’t get involved in party disputes in the court."

"I understand that since today, you will be the person in charge of the Sheng family. I have told you this since three years ago." Sheng Yu's expression remained unchanged, and she said simply and neatly. Fu Yanqing has a life-saving grace for her, and the two see each other even more. Although they have met few in the past three years, they have never broken contact. The Shengjia business can achieve this point, partly due to Fu Yanqing's backing, but it is so difficult to borrow an identity.

"thanks."

"Why do you need to say these two words between you and me, but what about your little green plum, does she know that you are back?" Sheng Yu turned her head, raised her eyes to look at Fu Yanqing, and asked quietly.

Fu Yanqing froze slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, she is the Ninth Highness anyhow, so what a decent way of reproaching her behind her back."

"Not Qingmei? Then you don't forget to ask me to inquire about her?" Sheng Yu's ice sculpture-like face forced a trace of doubt to appear, which looked a little funny.

Fu Yanqing gave her a helpless look: "You'd better be expressionless. I now live in Changyang South Street, which is Xuanfu. If you have anything, you can go there to find me."

"Xuanfu? That's wonderful. It was originally my hometown, but now it's back to you, but it proves your identity." When the words fell, she seemed to think of something, and she gave a cold "Oh" with a profound meaning. Looking at Fu Yanqing.

It happened that Xiaowu came in and told the two of them to go out for a meal, and Fu Yanqing ignored Sheng Yu and went out afterwards. Sheng Yu followed slowly, his voice not high or low: "No wonder it's not anxious, you can have a private meeting at night without knowing it, don't worry."

Fu Yanqing's figure was slightly stagnant, and then her face was indifferent, but when Sheng Yu mentioned it, her thoughts shifted to Zhao Ziyan, and she didn't know if she was better today.

When the two of them finished their meal, Sheng Yu put down the dishes and said: "After so many years of preparations, now that I choose to come back, how can I do it?"

Fu Yanqing paused: "Well, the most important thing now is... to let the current person recognize the true face of the person next to his pillow, to dig out the hidden forces of the Xiao family little by little, and... to support His Royal Highness."

Sheng Yu showed such an expression as expected, and nodded.

"But what are you going to do?"

Fu Yanqing lowered her eyes slightly, as if thinking: "Xiao Tuo is going to the west, and Zhao Mojian is also trying his best to search for the few fragments of Yongdi Treasure. If they want to come, they will soon take action. And this time the Xuan family was involved in private salt. Although they escaped a group of them in the trafficking case, there are not a few officials involved, and they must be investigated closely today. The half of the ledger you left in your hands is already enough to draw the fire to the ministers of Zhao Mojian’s faction. In hand, as long as you find Xuan Shuo, you can hurt them."

"Well, in this way, even if the Seventh Highness's formation of a party for private purposes will not be exposed, she will unintentionally bully your little Highness."

Fu Yanqing stared at her blankly, and said quietly: "It seems you are very free."

"The Shengjia is now in the capital and all over the world, and there are already more than forty shops, large and small, where can I be free." Sheng Yu drank tea with a serious voice.

"Well, in addition to having to deal with Uncle Qin worrying about your marriage, it is really hard."

Sheng Yu's expression froze, and then he said coldly: "You are one year older than me. I am afraid that Uncle Qin said this to you in a hurry. However, speaking of this, you have never met after so many years. Have you been to the heartbeat person?"

Fu Yanqing looked stunned, and then returned to peace: "This kind of thing is just icing on the cake, but now I don't need it, and I don't have the right to ask for it."

Sheng Yu frowned: "A Jin, the situation is not out of control now, I never understand, why are you pushing yourself so tight?"

"Shengyu" Fu Yanqing sighed: "In the future, you will understand. Now it seems calm, once the wind blows, what awaits us is the huge waves. Only when the Southwest Palace is completely safe, I can relax, and I don't have to night. Night... into that nightmare." After so many years, once she relaxes, she will return to that day in the night. Among the yellow sand, the fallen young lives and the hot blood flowing freely will converge to her. Nightmare not to go.

Sheng Yu looked at Fu Yanqing who seemed to be caught in a haze. Her eyes were a little distressed. Since acquaintance, her good friend has been burdened with too many things. In addition to the fate of the Southwest Palace, there seems to be some unexplainable pain.
