Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

When Lin Shu and Su Yi passed by a place selling grain, they heard the grain seller shouting:

"Rice costs 200 copper coins per catty, and wheat costs 300 copper coins per catty."

When Su Yi heard this, he looked at Lin Shu with admiration and admiration in his eyes.

"Shu'er, thanks to the spirit of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, the food has increased several times. It's thanks to you and Mother Lin that you bought a lot of food in advance and stocked it up."

"Fortunately, my uncle and aunt also stocked up a lot at home. My aunt and I also stocked up some more and put them in their restaurant. When the price of food increases again, we can sell them and make a small profit."

Lin Shu had already calculated that mid-December was the time when food prices reached their highest level a year ago, at ten taels of silver per catty. At that time, it was long before the Sixth Prince rebelled, and all the gangs in the imperial court were taking action to stockpile food.

In fact, it was sold more expensive after the new year, 15 taels of silver per pound, but it was just to make money from the national crisis. Later, those who made money from the national crisis after the new year were eliminated by Xiao Yan.

Therefore, whether it is out of conscience or for safety, Lin Shu will not sell food after the new year.

Su Yi couldn't help but frown when he learned that the food prices were rising.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you frowning suddenly? But is there anything wrong with you?"

"Shu'er, as far as I know, food prices will only increase in disaster years or wars. I'm afraid things will change in the capital. Let's make more preparations when we go back and prepare more self-defense items at home."

Lin Shu did not expect that Su Yi could judge the changes in the capital just by rising food prices. No wonder he was admitted to the top three in his previous life and became the third-rank minister of Dali Temple.

It was inconvenient for Su Yi to interfere too much in Lin Shu's affairs. Su Yi only reminded Lin Shu to be more careful and pay attention to safety.

After all, nothing is happening now, so it doesn't matter if Lin Shu and Mrs. Shi make some money.

Sure enough, as Lin Shu expected, by mid-December, the price of food increased dramatically.

Mrs. Shi and Lin Shu took out the grain stored in the hotel and bought ten taels of silver per catty, making a net profit of more than ninety taels per catty. They sold two thousand catties and shared more than 6000 per person with the Sun family. In just a few days, The Shi family’s income for more than ten years.

For the sake of safety, Mrs. Shi and Lin Shu quickly stopped. After all, the purchase price of food was already very high, and the price of food was falling. There were rumors in the capital that the Sixth Prince was going to rebel, and everyone was in danger.

It is obviously the busy market in Beijing, but many people are hiding at home and dare not go out.

Lin Shu gave Chen Laoer her salary and gave Chen Laoer a month's leave. Lin Shu, Su Yi, Lin's mother and Su Yuanyuan arrived at Shi's house in advance.

He also ordered Chen Laoer to go to Shi Mansion to pick them up on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, because by that time the prince and Xiao Yan had already controlled the Sixth Prince and the capital was already safe.

The matter on Lin Shu's side has come to an end first. Next, let's take a look at the situation on Shi Ying's side.

After the ceremony, Shi Ying, under the guidance of Aunt Qin, sat in the wedding room and waited for the king to come and take off her hijab.

When King Xian arrived at the wedding room, he shunned the people around him, picked up the wedding title and lifted Shi Ying's red hijab. Although Shi Ying was usually noisy, she looked charming even when she didn't speak, and looked like a lady.

The moment King Xian lifted his red hijab, Shi Ying was extremely nervous because she had offended King Xian before and was afraid that King Xian married her out of revenge.

King Xian looked at the flattered look of the woman in front of him and felt very proud. Little woman, are you afraid now?

King Xian touched the eyelid under his left eye. He applied several layers of powder on Today's Marriage to barely block it. He thought that Shi Ying was very heavy-handed.

But seeing Shi Ying carefully sitting in front of him, King Xian felt a little distressed.

King Xian poured the wine, walked up to Shi Ying with the wine glass and handed it to Shi Ying.

"Princess, let's have a drink first."

Shi Ying carefully took the wine glass handed over by King Xian.

"Thank you lord!"

King Xian frowned.

"We are husband and wife, so we don't need to be so polite in the future."

"Yeah." Shi Ying blushed and nodded.

Aunt Qin had taught her that after drinking a glass of wine, it was time to get married. Even though Aunt Qin had let Shi Ying read some villain books in advance, Shi Ying still couldn't let go of herself. What's more, Shi Ying had punched King Xian before, and she still felt Very scared.

Shi Ying is getting married for the first time, but King Xian is not.

After King Xian put down his wine glass, he took off the phoenix crown from Shi Ying's head and was about to kiss Fangze. Shi Ying took a step back out of fear and stood up and knelt on the ground.

"My lord, I'm sorry. I didn't know your identity at the time, so I offended you unintentionally. You can punish me however you want. Please don't blame my family."

King Xian sat on the bed, looked down at Shi Ying, and was amused by Shi Ying's appearance.

Shi Ying frowned, feeling dissatisfied. What's so funny?If you weren't the prince, I could still beat you up.

"According to my understanding, you are not someone who will be convinced so quickly. Was it taught by Aunt Qin or your mother? If this king is really angry, you, your mother and your cousin will not be able to leave Yuelao Temple that day. .”

Shi Ying raised her head and looked at King Xian. She didn't expect that Lin Shu was right and King Xian was not angry.

Seeing Shi Ying raising her head and staring at him with two big watery eyes, King Xian felt as if someone had plucked the strings of a piano, making him feel extremely itchy.

King Xian swallowed, walked forward and picked up Shi Ying with a big wave of his hand.

Shi Ying was so frightened by this move that she hugged King Xian's neck tightly.

King Xian was very useful.

"If the princess feels guilty, she will serve the king well tonight. I must have been taught how to serve by Grandma Qin."

King Xian carefully placed Shi Ying on the bed, leaned down, and said in Shi Ying's ear:

"Don't be afraid of me. I will be your husband from now on. Whatever your temperament was before marriage, you will have whatever temperament you have after marriage. There is no need to restrain yourself."

Shi Ying blushed, she didn't expect Mr. Xian to be so nice.

As soon as the bed curtain was closed, two overlapping figures faintly appeared on the bed.

It was the first time for Shi Ying to get on the sedan chair, and she couldn't hold on and fell asleep in the middle of the night. King Xian had not eaten meat for five years, and when he did, he couldn't restrain himself and asked Shi Ying for it several times during the night.

Finally, King Xian called for hot water and personally took Shi Ying into a hot bath. After wiping her body clean, she hugged Shi Ying and slept until dawn.

On the second day, because Prince Xian had no concubine, only Long Yuqi, the only prince of Prince Xian's palace, had to serve tea to Shi Ying.

"Qi'er sends his regards to his mother and concubine, and wishes that his mother and concubine and his father will always be united and grow old together."

King Xian's son, Long Yuqi, is now over nine years old and has been well-educated by King Xian.

When Long Yuqi found out that his father had married again, his first reaction was not to worry that someone would compete with him for his father's throne and the palace in the future. Instead, he was sincerely happy for his father, and at the same time, he was also happy that there was another person who loved him.

Long Yuqi has always envied that others have mothers, but he doesn't have a mother. Now it's better. Long Yuqi also has a mother. Shi Ying is young and beautiful, and he can show off in front of other cousins.
