I am busy raising my family! [travel]

Tang Yi and Xie Sheng went out of Beijing together, and each brought a team of troops, but Xie Sheng was the only confidant under his command, while Tang Yi brought the soldiers ordered by Yu Chixiu.

All the way along the official road was safe and sound, but when he got to the place Xie Sheng said, he vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Pieces of fabric were loaded onto the cart, Tang Yi stood aside and watched for a while, "The price of silk brocade is so high, thank you shopkeeper for buying so much, can it be sold?"

Under Xie Sheng's repeated lobbying, Tang Yi only bought three cars, but Xie Sheng bought a full ten cars.

"The nobles in the palace always want to buy it." Xie Sheng said with excited eyes and suppressed a smile.

After walking back two cities, Tang Yi heard Yu Chixiu tell him that the weight of the car had decreased, and then he realized what was wrong.

He asked someone to find a single one and brought it over, only to find that the wood in the middle of the cloth was hollow and filled with salt.

Tang Yi rubbed his fingers and sneered, "He's really calculating."

Xie Sheng took him, nothing more than bringing a scapegoat, and a lot of money was transferred along the way. If nothing happened, everyone would be happy. If something happened, then he would be the one pushed out to block the sword.

"Have someone buy a new batch and change our car." Tang Yi said without hesitation, "By the way, let's talk to Xie Wenhao."

Xie Sheng was full of complacency, but when he went forward to Longtan City, he was stopped by someone.

"What does City Lord Kong mean by this?"

Seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding them, Xie Sheng had a bad feeling in his heart.

Xie's family made their fortune in Longtan City, and they have some kind of friendship with the city lord. He managed all the way, but he was the most reassuring about Longtan City.

"Routine inspection." City Lord Kong raised his hand, and the people around him had already walked towards the cloth transporting cart behind him.

The smile on Xie Sheng's face froze, he didn't think this kind of thing would bother Kong Yi to come forward.

His hand holding the rein slowly tightened, and then relaxed again. He had found someone early in the morning, and he would never involve himself.

What surprised Xie Sheng was that Kong Yi really seemed to be just checking them randomly this time, and let them go soon.

Tang Yi was thoughtful, and seeing Xie Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, he shook his head.

He didn't think the matter was really that simple, not to mention that the handle had already been sent to Kong Yi, how could it be possible if he didn't do it?

Xie Sheng stayed in Longtan City for a day, but still couldn't resist the temptation, and secretly asked people to take things out and sell them.

"Haven't come back yet?" Xie Sheng was pacing in the yard, they would stay a few days longer in each city they visited, and what they told Tang Yi was to go shopping more in case they could bring something back.

"No." The boy hesitated, "Master, could it be..."

Xie Sheng raised his hand to stop him, "Where's Tang Yi?"

"Still in the yard, it seems that I haven't gone out all day today."

"I'll go look for him first." Xie Sheng flicked his sleeves, got up and walked out. Before he reached the door, a group of people rushed in from outside.

The people who came in stood in two teams, Kong Yi slowly walked over from behind, looked at Xie Sheng disappointedly, "Take them away."

"Master Kong," Xie Sheng said calmly, "I don't know what I have committed, but you want to arrest me without asking me?"

"Xie Wenhao has already told me." Kong Yi shook his head sadly, "Trafficking in private salt is a felony. I thought I misunderstood you, but today I got the stolen goods."

"Impossible," Xie Sheng remembered Xie Wenhao in his heart, with an upright face on his face, "My Xie family has a great career, so why would I do something illegal for such a small profit?"

"City Master, have you made a mistake? There is another person who came with me..."

"Are you trying to say that these are his servants?" Kong Yi asked someone to bring the captured people up.

These few were all gagged, huddled, and didn't even make eye contact with Xie Sheng.

Xie Sheng naturally didn't know what happened after they were caught, but hesitated for a moment, "I don't know, but they really have nothing to do with me, and the dozen or so people I brought are still here."

The Xie family's house is in Longtan City, and Xie Sheng made preparations after entering the city, so naturally he would not stumble over such a trivial matter.

"That's really a coincidence. These Xie Wenhao have already met, and they are indeed your staff."

"Xie Wenhao is no longer from the Xie family." Xie Sheng gritted his teeth, but was still taken away by Kong Yi.

It was the second day after he entered the prison that he realized a trace of uneasiness. Why was Tang Yi still outside when he came in? Even if Tang Yi didn't know, he had transported illegal salt.

Xie Sheng waited for three days, but Tang Yi was surrounded by people.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Tang Yi asked people to leave, then approached the cell, and said in a low voice, "I don't believe you did this, but the second prince is in some trouble."

"Did the second prince know about this?" Xie Sheng lived alone for a few days, and he was in a trance, looking at Tang Yi in surprise, "When did you get in touch with the second prince?"

He originally planned to fool Tang Yi into carrying the crime, and he went out to find the second prince to save him, but in this situation, it seems that the second prince directly sent someone to find Tang Yi?

"I'm ashamed to say that, except for that matter, City Lord Kong detained me in the courtyard for two days, and after checking it out, he didn't care anymore."

Tang Yi was apologetic, "This time, the second prince asked me to ask you for something."

"what?"

"Account book."

"What?!" Xie Sheng raised his voice a little.

Tang Yi seemed a bit perplexed, but continued, "The second prince also sent someone over, as long as he got the things, he would bring the steward of Xie's mansion to block the catastrophe."

"Wait until you come out and then slowly find out who is behind it."

Although Xie Sheng had some doubts, he saw that the person following Tang Yi was indeed by the side of the second prince, so he said a place.

He gave so much money to the second prince every year, of course he was careful, the account books kept at home were not only from the second prince.

But he can only rely on the second prince if he wants to go out this time.

Thinking of the noble concubine whom he was favoring right now, and the influence of the second prince's mother's family, Xie Sheng felt a little more at ease.

"Shopkeeper Tang, we will find the things. This time, my master owes you a favor."

"That's unnecessary," Tang Yi pulled the cloak off his body, "I'm just doing a small business, and I'm afraid I won't stay in the capital for a long time."

"This……"

"Forget it, the first prince also said that there is no need to forcibly keep him, and if Xie Sheng's incident is exposed, it is enough for the second prince to fall."

As the two talked, they drifted away, and just now Xie Sheng looked at the familiar person, and he had already wiped his face, revealing his original appearance, which had no resemblance to the people around the Second Prince.

When Tang Yi hurried back, it was already April.

He entered the door full of joy, seeing Qi An's face beaming with joy, "Master, it can be considered that he is back, Fu Lang is losing his temper."

"What happened in the mansion?" Tang Yi walked a little faster, carrying the things in his hand and walked inside.

Tang Hui was sitting next to Xie Shiying with an account book in his arms, staring at Xie Shiying's stomach while muttering, "The money I earned this month is enough to support my sister, so please stop making trouble."

"If you make trouble again, I will beat you." Tang Yu yawned, and put her small palm on Xie Shiying's stomach. Although the words were threatening, they were not deterrent.

"Where is there a younger sister, you two stop fighting." Tang Yi took one of them in one hand, took them aside, and stuffed a gift into each of them.

After coaxing these two away, he looked at Xie Shiying.

"Didn't you say you can go back in March?" Xie Shiying cried while lying in Tang Yi's arms.

"It's my fault, but this time I managed to do something by the way. After the results come out in these two days, we can go back to Hancheng."

"I can't go back." Xie Shiying sobbed.

Tang Yi also became nervous, "If you don't want to go back to Hancheng, we can go to other places, you can go wherever you want."

"I want to eat plum cakes." Xie Shiying managed to stop his tears, "Let's leave next year."

"Fine, fine, it's all up to you." Tang Yi coaxed him, seeing that Xie Shiying's mood had stabilized, he talked about Xie Sheng's matter.

"Xie Sheng will definitely suffer a lot from selling private salt this time. It's up to the Second Prince whether he can come out."

"However, the affair between him and the second prince will be revealed soon."

"I'm afraid that the Huangshang family hates Xie Sheng to the core."

"Once this incident happens, the other companies should also be investigated?" Xie Shiying drank his saliva, "Do you want to be an imperial merchant?"

"We have so many things now, there must be a few of them that can enter the palace."

"It's not something I think about."

"I'm afraid the Holy One wants to take this opportunity to rectify the imperial merchants. It is not impossible to take back these names."

"Xie Sheng will return to Beijing after a while." Tang Yi tilted his head and kissed him, "No matter what, we have earned enough money now, and we can just raise our two children."

The corners of Xie Shiying's eyes were still red. He silently took Tang Yi's hand and placed it on his stomach.

"Is this... getting fat?"

Xie Shiying glared at him and said in a low voice, "It's been four months."

Tang Yi took a deep breath, "We can afford one more."

"Do you not want him?" Xie Shiying looked at him vigilantly, and simply stood up holding his stomach.

"I knew it was impossible for me to destroy the child."

"I didn't." Tang Yi stood up, quickly supported him, and said patiently, "I'm just a little too surprised."

He had already thought about it for a moment. With their current assets, it would be no problem to raise one more child, and he had already made preparations before, so raising the child this time would definitely be a lot easier.

Xie Shiying is skeptical.

The next day, Tang Yi realized that it was too early for him to say this.

He stopped Xie Shiying's chopsticks, "This is too spicy, you can't eat it."

"I'll just take a small bite." Xie Shiying looked at him eagerly, and even acted like a baby at him.

Tang Yi felt this sweetness for a long time, and when he didn't notice for a while, he saw Xie Shiying sandwiched several slices of boiled beef, and his lips were a little red.

Tang Yi hastily asked someone to remove the dish, and fed Xie Shiying a few mouthfuls of sweet soup.

"I want to eat glutinous rice and lotus root." Xie Shiying ate the meal obediently, and rubbed his belly to make a new request, "I also want to eat ebony plums."

"I don't have lotus root yet, wait a minute." As for Wu Mei, I can make some first.

Different from the usual few months of pregnancy last time, this time Xie Shiying not only vomited badly, but also was very picky, and what he wanted to eat was not for this season.

Tang Yi looked worriedly at Qi An who came to deliver the account book. This month, for the fresh fruit that Xie Shiying wanted to eat, he had already rushed back and forth from Jiangnan several times.

The scallions you want to eat have to be picked in the mountains, but you may not be able to dig them.

He may really not be able to support the child.
