After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

That night, many people huddled in their thatched huts, scratching their heads and writing furiously!

The next day, a dozen messengers, carrying bags full of letters, headed towards Kyoto and Da Zhou in various directions!

The person who received the letter gasped in shock.

But the letter seemed to carry the smoke of gunpowder from the border, making people tremble with fear.

I don’t know how many people had sleepless nights that night.

……

In Kyoto City, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Su Yunyan packed her bag in a hurry: "Go ask Chef Li if he's willing to go to the border with us. Mother likes his crispy duck the most."

"And ask Chen Xiu Niang. Auntie is used to wearing the embroidered lingerie she made."

"And the set of Hundred Flowers and Lotus Discs! They are what my mother usually uses."

Su Yunyan wished she could move the entire mansion to the border!

Su Xuanming stood under the corridor, watching Su Yunyan commanding his men to fight in groups.

At the other end of the corridor, there were three men and one woman standing. They looked at Su Xuanming and Su Yunyan timidly.

They are the children of the two aunts.

When Marquis Yongchang died, they naturally had to return to Kyoto to attend the funeral and observe mourning.

Their stepmother was such a wise and brave person, and their two brothers and sister were all capable of handling things on their own, which made them completely put their minds at ease.

Su Yunyan obviously saw them too, her eyebrows knitted tightly together: "Brother, if I go to the border, don't let them fool you. They were raised by my aunt, and they only learned the secrets of the inner house."

Su Xuanming touched Su Yunyan's head with a doting look on his face: "Just go and do your own thing, don't worry about me. Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, as long as you grasp them, they can be put to good use."

Seeing Su Yunyan's eyebrows raised, as if she was about to get angry, Su Xuanming hurriedly said: "Mother is in urgent need of manpower now. It is foreseeable that Mother will rise higher and higher in the future! By then, how can we three siblings handle it? Train them up so that they can do some work for Mother."

"Humph, you are kind-hearted, as long as you don't play the story of the farmer and the snake!"

Su Xuanming smiled gently. Chen Yixuan, who came to find him, rolled his eyes when he saw the way the brother and sister were getting along.

Only Su Yunyan thinks that her elder brother is a piece of pure and flawless white paper!

"Tenth brother, you came at the right time. Yesterday, my uncle sent someone to ask me when I would set out for Fuming Town. I plan to wait until the middle of the month, before the first snow falls." Su Yunyan scribbled on the notebook.

All the things recorded on it are A-niang's preferences, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Chen Yixuan smiled and said, "It's only the beginning of the month, and Eleventh Sister is so busy and nagging. I thought we would be leaving in a few days."

"Brother Ten, please don't laugh at me. If I wasn't carrying such a heavy responsibility, I would have gone to the border to look for my mother overnight."

Chen Yixuan waved his fan, blowing a gust of cold wind, which made him think: "If you don't leave now, the team will get longer and longer."

Su Yunyan then looked up at Chen Yixuan: "Eleventh Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"There are rumors that you can find gold by traveling west."

Su Yunyan and Su Xuanming looked at each other, both confused: "Does this journey west refer to the border or the Western Regions?"

Chen Yixuan rolled his eyes: "Of course I'm referring to the border! The journey to the Western Regions is long, even if there is gold mining, how can it move the hearts of ordinary people?"

ha? !

Where did this sentence come from?!

In Fuquan Teahouse, some tea drinkers couldn't help but ask this question.

"I grew up in the border area, how come I have never heard of gold mines in the border area?"

A tea drinker chuckled: "This gold is not that gold. Even if there is a gold mine, it belongs to the imperial court. What does it have to do with you and me? I guess this sentence is not talking about the gold mine!"

"what does that mean?!"

Song Da poured himself a cup of tea and said leisurely, "It means that there are great opportunities at the border! The capable ones eat meat, and the ordinary people drink soup."

"Impossible! There are no acres of fertile fields, no caravans, no thoroughfares connecting all nations. Where do the opportunities come from?"

Song Da glanced at him calmly: "There is really nothing there, but there is the great general Gu Nanxi! Don't forget what the most popular Dashi Style Street was like originally."

"It's just a small area. How can it be compared with the vast border?"

At this time, someone whispered stealthily: "But the saying that you can go west to pan for gold came from the mouth of the richest man in Jiangnan!"

"Eh? Is it the wealthy businessman nicknamed Cornucopia? I heard that his business is all over the Great Zhou, and the money he earns every day cannot be swept away with a broom!"

"It was him! I heard that he was the one who said that one could find gold by traveling west."

Another person also came over quietly and shared the inside story he had learned: "Not only that, a few days ago, the border sent letters to many adults in Kyoto. I heard from the servants in their mansions that the candles in the study were burning all night. The next day, the adults were able to collect the money from their families!"

Hiss!

"It seems that this is very likely to be true!"

"It seems that there really is a great opportunity at the border! It's just that we are insignificant and don't know the inside story!"

"It's a pity that we are ordinary people who need to support our families in Kyoto. We missed this opportunity in vain!"

On the second floor of Fuquan Teahouse, several private rooms were connected, and several well-off businessmen were sitting inside.

The leader was an elderly man with a white beard, smiling like Maitreya Buddha: "It is the duty of every citizen to serve the country. Since the general needs us, we should also do our part!"

Another middle-aged man with a goatee bowed to the old man and said, "President Chen, please help me. I heard that the Su family's wife is packing her bags and preparing to go to Fuming Town."

"Yes, the journey is not peaceful. We should go with Madam Su."

Someone hesitated: "We don't know what the situation is at the border yet. The journey is long, and if the goods we bring cannot be sold..."

"What you said makes sense. How about this? We will send some people to follow Madam Su to the border for inspection. After they come back, we will discuss the details."

The businessmen were talking to each other, and they were eager to think about the opportunity to make a lot of money.

When the emotions reached their climax, someone sitting in the corner poured a bucket of cold water on me.

"You only see this as a way to make money, but you didn't expect that once you embark on this path, it will cost lives!"

The old man's eyes flashed: "What do you mean by that?"

The man's voice sounded very lazy: "What kind of person is the richest man in Jiangnan? He wants to collect all the money in the Great Zhou into his own arms. Would he be so kind as to release such important news?"

The man did not wait for others to question him and continued, "The conflict between Grand Tutor Tong and General Gu Nanxi is almost coming to the surface. If we go to the border now, it will be tantamount to standing on Gu Nanxi's side. Isn't it easy for Grand Tutor Tong to control a few merchants?!"

There was total silence in the private room, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
