"Miss, Mr. Shang is here!"

"Shang Yilan? How did he come?" Li Cheng put down his book in surprise and stood up to greet him.

Without his letters these days, I know less about things outside, especially in the capital. And I don’t know how long it will take for the news to reach Dechang County from the capital.

Sometimes thinking of Lu Yanzhao, who had no news, Li Cheng couldn't help but wonder whether the inexplicable thing between them before really existed or whether her memory had been tampered with without authorization.

When he walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe and holding a folding fan standing in the courtyard. No matter where such a person goes, he will make many older ladies blush.

Shang Yilan's eyes lit up when he looked at Li Cheng. After not seeing each other for several months, Li Cheng became more and more provocative. It's a pity that Lu Yanzhao's affairs haven't been settled yet. Otherwise, how could he still stay in the capital?

"Miss Li, Shang is here to bother you again." Shang Yilan said politely.

"There, I don't know how many people in the Ohama Dynasty want to invite Mr. Shang to visit. It would be a great blessing to have Mr. Shang to visit." Li Cheng also replied politely.

Shang Yilan frowned, could Miss Li be such a self-effacing and joking person?The man in front of me seems to have changed in other ways besides his temperament and appearance, but this change is obviously gratifying.

Li Cheng was very casual and directly invited people to sit under the grape trellis. Shang Yilan didn't feel that Li Cheng was being disrespectful. Instead, he felt that the scenery in the yard was excellent.

If it is summer and the grapes on the shelf are ripe, you can pick a bunch of grapes and taste them with just one hand.

Li Cheng saw his eyes wandering on the flowers and plants in the yard. He picked up the basket on the side and walked to the cherry tree. He patted the tree and the ripe cherries in the upper corner fell down and fell into the basket waiting for the text. Yi Lan immediately paid attention and showed subtle sympathy to Lu Yanzhao in the capital.

Huang Ning brought tea, and then took the basket handed over by Li Cheng and went to rinse it. She always did what she had to do quietly without saying much. This kind of temperament made Li Cheng very satisfied, and she followed Shang Yilan over. The entourage was brought down by Li Dong to entertain them.

"Master Shang is here this time. Could it be that the housework has been taken care of?" Li Cheng went straight to the point and just said a polite word. Shang Yilan couldn't be passing by this time.

Shang Yilan took a sip of tea, and the tea tasted better than before, no worse than what his Shang family got. "Shang is ashamed because our own affairs have actually implicated Miss Li and caused you trouble. We really shouldn't have."

Li Cheng smiled and said: "Nothing, just some clowns."

Shang Yilan laughed. He was at fault this time, so he rushed over after handling the matter. No matter what the reason was, he still hoped to continue to cooperate with Li Cheng for a long time.

But when he came today, he was surprised by the vibrant scene in Zhuangzi.He could clearly remember what the village looked like before, and when he saw the fruits hanging in the inner courtyard now, even if he didn't know anything about farming, Shang Yilan still knew that some plants could not produce a good harvest the same year they were planted.

After talking for a while, Huang Ning brought over the washed cherries.Shang Yilan took one and tasted it. The taste was much sweeter than the one he had eaten from the south.

After drinking tea and eating fruit, Shang Yilan explained his intentions clearly. Based on the previous events and the instructions obtained from the palace, the Shang family went through some rectification. Now the Shang family has a lot of water.

Halfway through, Shang Yilan suddenly sighed: "The Shang family today is different from the past. In the future, Shang may still have to rely on Miss Li for many places. The copper and iron mines in the hands of the Shang family have now been allocated. , I don’t know how many people want to see the Shang family’s jokes.”

Li Cheng looked at him strangely and wondered, is it necessary to tell her these things?

However, in this era, almost all copper and iron mines related to the casting of weapons and coins were controlled by the imperial court.The Shang family helped the emperor in the past, so it should be expected by their family that they would now zone out the mine.

"Young Master Shang, there is no need to tell me this. Besides, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Besides, this may not be a disaster. Gaining the emperor's trust is the most important thing."

Shang Yilan smiled bitterly. Li Cheng, a girl living in a mountain village, could see the situation clearly, but some people in the clan were unwilling to let go.

"Although there is indeed nothing to say, telling her now is better than hearing some untrue things from others in the future. Not all of the mine has been returned to the court, but part of it is now owned by my second son. My uncle is in charge. He has established a separate family. Whatever happens from now on will have nothing to do with our branch. You may not know that my second uncle sent his sister to the Fourth Prince's Mansion just after he was separated. Maybe He believes that the Shang family will have another Shang empress in the future."

Li Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, "The emperor is still here, but your second uncle and the Shang family's wealth dare to vote for the fourth prince so blatantly? Are you just afraid that the emperor won't see it?"

Shang Yilan and his father were also exhausted mentally and physically by such an incident. Others could not see that their father and son were really separated from each other. They would only think that the Shang family was just putting on a show for others, and they wanted to avoid offending both parties. .

Shang Yilan's father was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard the words coming from outside. Some people in the partial tribe could not see clearly and resolutely followed the second uncle because the second uncle could bring them greater benefits and prospects. It's not like Shang Yilan and his son who act timidly.

Shang Yilan smiled bitterly and said: "I gave the message to His Majesty before we left. I don't know how much Your Majesty can believe it. If we have better luck and end up with the fourth prince, maybe the Shang family can still survive."

No matter whether the Shang family is really divided or not, the fourth prince will definitely attack their branch if he ascends the throne, but the second uncle's branch can still survive at least.But if another prince ascends the throne, the fate of the second uncle who took refuge with the fourth prince can be imagined, and their team will also be implicated because they are not trusted.

Li Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'm Kang Jian now. It's too early to say this at this time."

Rather than worrying about those uncertain things at this time, it is better to live a good life now.And as time goes by, people's hearts will be revealed. Even if the emperor has doubts at this time, who says there won't be an opportunity for them to express their attitude in the future!

Although Shang Yilan just smiled, the worry between his brows also dissipated.

The two of them didn't talk about these things anymore, and Shang Yilan didn't mention Lu Yanzhao's current situation.Li Cheng invited Shang Yilan to drink wine. What he drank was no longer second-hand distilled wine, but completely home-brewed wine.

The wine brewed by Meng Laobo requires different fermentation times due to different ingredients.Hurry, it has been distilled in the pot and put into the wine jar. A few days ago, Mr. Meng asked Li Cheng to find a time for everyone to sit down and taste it to see how the taste compares with the previous distilled wine.
