My country, you can pinch it

No matter how embarrassing it is, when people are really dying, they can indeed turn out money without money.

Two days later in the evening, Qian Duojin crossed out the last sum of the debt, and under the earnest eyes of the barbarian, nodded, "Cleared."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, then we can..." The barbarians could not help but look at the black armored soldier crossing his sword, and smiled apologetically.

So Wei Weixue yelled in Chen Du's direction, "Brother-in-law, it's all set, let's go!"

Chen Du lazily raised his hand to show that he understood, then waved his hand, "Withdraw the troops, load the silver into the cart, and send it to the silver warehouse. The whole army will gather at the camp outside the north city gate, and leave tomorrow to return to Shamen Pass."

"Yes."

The mighty Jianfeng Battalion retreated neatly, and all the barbarians couldn't help but wiped the sweat off their brows, and finally sent them off.

When Wei Xuexue and Qian Duojin returned to the post house from the bank, they happened to see the servants of the Shang family coming in and out.He will leave Yongliang tomorrow, so naturally he has to prepare in advance to salute today.

"My lady, why do I feel that there are too many carriages?" Qian Duojin looked at the carriages and horses occupying an alleyway and asked in doubt.

"It's not a feeling, it's just too much." Wei Xue said affirmatively, "It's doubled, has my aunt bought anything in Yongliang?"

She asked Shang Xiyun who came out of the posthouse, who shook his head: "No, my aunt is also worried, His Highness Prince Ning is too polite."

Shang Xiyun took the refugees to Doujin Mountain, and brought back those family members yesterday, and now the place is renamed Xinfang.

"So it was given by King Ning?" Wei Xue asked in surprise.

Shang Xiyun nodded: "There are a bunch of medicinal materials, there are two cars for expensive and not expensive ones, the high-quality silver silk charcoal is also included in one car, and those leather materials... Well, I am still moving now, aunt refused Can't refuse."

Everyone looked intently and saw that the housekeeper of King Ning's Mansion was instructing his servants to be busy, moving things out one by one according to the list, and soon a car was full again.

"What?"

"Because it's for Lingling." Shang Chuqing also walked out.

Wei Xue was not happy when she heard it, "There is something I wanted to say a long time ago, eldest sister, second sister, don't you think His Royal Highness Prince Ning is too attentive to us Lingling? Along the way, we Being an older sister is like a decoration, and I can’t help you with anything, so forget it, who let her car rub against her, men and women are different, it’s inconvenient. What’s the matter, I have to take care of going to Shamenguan, I’m afraid our family People treat Ling Ling badly, short of his food and clothing?"

Shang Chuqing: "..."

Shang Xiyun: "..."

It turned out to be the same confusion.

"Aren't you being too extreme?" Qian Duojin asked aside, "Isn't it right for my little cousin to help him like this..."

However, the three sisters glanced over, Qian Duojin's scalp was numb, and he raised the list in his hand and said: "I just asked the housekeeper to get it, and I saw that they were all rare medicinal materials and supplements. No. There are also those silver silk charcoal, I heard that it burns without smoke or gas, and it is a special offering in the palace, it is hard to buy outside, even if you buy it, the quality is not good enough, and the price is very high, Lingling is afraid of the cold, this gift from King Ning A car is enough for him to get through this cold weather. As for those furs, who would want too much?"

In the end, Qian Duojin summed it up, "Look, there are indeed places that we can't take care of."

The three sisters were silent for a while, and their eyes on each other became even more strange.

Qian Duojin was confused by the atmosphere, "What's wrong?"

"Are you stupid or something, don't you think it's more ghostly?" Wei Xue glared at him.

"what?"

He has not yet resented the iron and said: "As sisters and brothers-in-law, we can't think of these things. How can he, a prince who is busy with everything, think so comprehensively?"

Qian Duojin was immediately enlightened by this question, and hit his palm with his fist, "That's right!"

Shang Xiyun said: "If it is not confirmed that Ling Ling is a boy, I would doubt that King Ning has plans for him."

In a word!If Liu Ke heard this, he would be so frightened that he would break out in a cold sweat.

Qian Duojin laughed and said: "Don't talk nonsense. Lingling is young and weak. Brothers and sisters are willing to take care of him. There is nothing wrong with him. If there is anything, Lingling doesn't feel wrong. He is so smart. .”

There is some truth to this statement.

Shang Chuqing nodded: "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Qian Duojin felt relieved, and then he asked: "Let's not stand here anymore. The barbarians have already paid all the money, and I'm going to report to King Ning."

Shang Xiyun said: "Then it's not a coincidence that you came, he just left."

"What about Lingling, he was still concerned about it before."

Shang Chuqing paused, and then said: "He's not here either, he was just taken away by His Royal Highness King Ning."

Wei Xue and his wife: "..."

Wei Xue said slowly, "I still find it very strange."

At this moment, even Qian Duojin didn't know how to refute.

Here, Liu Ke took Fang Jinling to a small courtyard, "Here we are, slow down."

He jumped out of the carriage first, then turned around to support Fang Jinling.

"Where is this?" The mysterious Liu Ke didn't tell him before, Fang Jinling walked in with a face of curiosity, and the goal he entered was a carriage driven by two horses, and someone was still doing repairs under the carriage.

"It looks familiar." Fang Jinling walked around the carriage, then recognized it, turned around and asked doubtfully, "Why is the prince's car here? It looks much smaller."

Liu Ke didn't answer him, but squatted down and asked the people under the car, "Can it work?"

"It's ok, Your Highness, you can try it. If it's uncomfortable, I'll adjust it later." The man climbed out from under the car with tools while talking, wiped the sweat from his head, and waited aside.

So Liu Ke jumped into the carriage, glanced inside the carriage, then turned around in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to Fang Jinling, "Come on, Lingling, come up and let's have a seat."

At this moment, no matter how dull Fang Jinling was, he realized that Liu Ke had built a carriage for him in his busy schedule, and even dismantled his luxurious car!

This cognition made him stunned in place on the spot, and at the same time he was moved, an inexplicable emotion was brewing in his heart, which made him at a loss for a while.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the person who was waiting for him, but didn't know what to say.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Liu Ke moved his hand forward again.

Fang Jinling's eyes fell on that hand, and he said complicatedly: "There are not many roads from Yongliang to Shamenguan. The Shang family has a carriage, which is considered spacious and comfortable, but there is no need..."

"But it has been changed. It's a pity if you don't sit down?"

Fang Jinling clenched his fist, Xiaotuanzi wanted to go up and push, so he held back and didn't dare to speak.

"Ling Ling, don't you like it?" Liu Ke slowly put away his smile from anticipation, and his words gradually became lost.

This made Fang Jinling feel guilty, feeling that he would be too ignorant if he refused, so he stared at it, hesitated and finally stretched out his hand.

Liu Ke's eyes lit up immediately, and his smile deepened. He grabbed his hand and pulled him into the car.

Because of regulations, the space inside has been doubled, but it is still clean and tidy, and it is covered with thick mattresses, which makes people feel comfortable.

Liu Ke went inside and sat down, patted her side, and urged: "Come, sit here."

Fang Jinling took a deep breath and sat in. As soon as the door of the carriage was closed, in the quiet environment, he suddenly heard his own heartbeat, which was beating so fast.

Obviously, he was in the same car with Liu Ke for nearly two months before, and he never felt uncomfortable, but now he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He always felt that the people around him were too present and too close, which affected his whole body Pores stand up.

Liu Ke licked his lips and said, "Lingling, don't think too much, I just hope that you can reach the Shamen Pass smoothly, and you won't get sick again because of the bumpy road."

Fang Jinling nodded lightly, smiled wryly and said, "I just don't know how to repay Your Highness."

"Fool, what do you want in return? Arriving safely is better than anything else."

Liu Ke seemed to be leaning on the carriage casually, but in fact he was more nervous than anyone else, but thinking about it, this was probably the last time he got so close to Fang Jinling, so he wanted to be closer.

As for what he wanted, Fang Jinling couldn't give it to him, and he wasn't willing to ask for it. He just hoped that he would give it carefully so that it wouldn't embarrass others.

"Then let's try this car?"

Fang Jinling let out a "hmm".

So Liu Ke knocked on the wall of the carriage.

Xiao Tuanzi watched from the outside, although he didn't say anything, he secretly gave his master a hard time in his heart, and when he heard the voice, he immediately told the driver: "You must drive steadily, don't bump it! "

This request seems to be a bit difficult. The coachman chose the old-fashioned method specially. He was always sure, but now under Xiaotuanzi's wide-eyed eyes, he couldn't help becoming nervous, "This... as small as possible."

Xiaotuanzi couldn't help feeling worried when he heard this answer.

The clacking of horseshoes gradually became faster, and the carriage shook slightly and began to move forward.

Liu Ke was a little worried, for fear that after tossing and tossing, it would be useless if it should be turned upside down or turned upside down.

Along the way, even the slightest tremor made him nervous, his eyes looked towards Fang Jinling, and when he saw someone frowning, his heart started to raise, and he didn't know whether it was useful or useless after walking around.

"Your Highness, Young Master."

Xiaotuanzi's voice sounded from outside.

"It's here? So soon?" Liu Ke felt that he didn't feel it carefully. It seemed that it was much more stable, but the ground in the city was flat, and it seemed that he couldn't tell. "Lingling, what do you think?"

Fang Jinling said: "It seems that the ups and downs have been somewhat cushioned." In order not to let himself think wildly, Fang Jinling felt it carefully, "Where is the change, it can't be that there are springs installed underneath."

Fang Jinling said something casually, and Liu Ke looked at him in surprise: "Spring? You mean an iron bar wound twice? How do you know?"

"It really is!" Fang Jinling immediately put the previous entanglements behind him, and wanted to go down to have a look in amazement.

He bent down, and saw that there were indeed two circles of black metal plates placed on the horizontal shaft under the carriage, which were relatively thick, and it could be seen that it was not easy to have strong elasticity and toughness with the current technology.

But the wisdom of the ancients is not something that can be said casually.

"It's not easy to find such an iron piece, is it?"

Xiaotuanzi came up and said: "After the craftsman had this idea, the prince thought it was feasible, but such tough steel is extremely rare, so he ordered people to search around, and finally found two pieces of black iron in Zhang's warehouse. , I heard that they intend to build two good swords, which are just right."

Liu Ke didn't say anything, but Xiaotuanzi felt that it was necessary to let Fang Jinling know what his master had done for this.

Sure enough, Fang Jinling was speechless for a moment, and looked at Liu Ke hesitantly, "Your Highness..." How could he be?

Liu Ke waved his hand indifferently, pretending to be calm and said: "Hey, it's all done by someone. I don't have time to look for these. It's worth it if you sit comfortably. Don't think so much."

But can you not think too much?

Fang Jinling had to be taken care of by Liu Ke for rubbing cars all the way. He felt that it was not too much for the other party to do a little bit of work, and that they had eyes for each other.Whether it is an idea for Liu Ke or the support of the Shang family behind him, it is enough for him to accept it calmly.

Now that I recognize him as a brother, it's okay to get a little closer.

But this time, Fang Jinling knew very well that what Liu paid for him was not something that could be explained by his brothers alone. The hidden friendship and the hard work of ingratiating him made Fang Jinling wonder what he would pay back?

And should I pay it back.

Early the next morning, the Shang family's chariots and horses were ready to go.

The modified carriage was parked in the middle of the convoy. Fang Jinling didn't refuse in the end, and couldn't find a reason for the refusal.

Liu Ke came out to see them off, and said goodbye to Shang Chuqing and the seven sisters one by one, "Thank you for your help, and have a good journey."

"Your Highness, you're being polite." Shang Chuqing and the others clasped their fists in return.

"Madam Shang, please send my regards to the Marquis of Xiling on behalf of the king. If there is a chance, I will pay a personal visit to his old man."

With his current politeness, it is really hard to see that two months ago he was still the Seventh Prince who hated cats and dogs, Shang Qingrong bowed his head, "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ning, I will definitely convey it."

Then Liu Ke looked at Fang Jinling who was beside Shang Qingrong, and called out: "Lingling."

"mother."

"Go." Shang Qingrong nodded, and left with the maid.

Liu Ke looked at Fang Jinling who had been feeling a little uncomfortable since he came back last night, and said, "When you arrive at the Shamen Pass, don't forget to write a letter to report that you are safe."

Fang Jinling hummed, "Definitely."

"As I said earlier, if you are not used to that place, you can come to Yongliang. Brother will renovate the Zhizhou Mansion. It should be more comfortable to live in. You can come anytime."

Hearing this, Fang Jinling looked back at the Shang family sisters who were looking this way, and smiled faintly: "You must not let the sisters hear this."

"My voice is not loud, they can't hear me."

Fang Jinling said, "Okay, I'll make a note."

Then there was silence.

It seemed that everything was normal, but Liu Ke found that Fang Jinling was avoiding him, and he didn't look at him from the beginning to the end. He licked his lips, and Liu Ke suddenly said: "Don't hide, I won't do this next time .”

Fang Jinling looked up in surprise, only to see the latter with a wry smile: "My intention is to make you happy, not to trouble you. Lingling, I have never been kind to anyone since I was a child. If the method is not appropriate, you... forgive me .”

These words were extremely humble, and a sour and astringent feeling brewed in Fang Jinling's heart, and he suddenly felt that he was going too far.

Liu Ke did all this for his sake. He treats him wholeheartedly, but he is still hypocritical. What is it?

Thinking of this, Fang Jinling sniffed, a smile melted on his face, and he said with a sincere smile: "I'm sorry, it's my problem, Brother Seven, I like this car very much, thank you for thinking of me, I will cherish it. "

There was no haze, and the bright smile made Liu Ke feel relieved, "As long as you like it, take care all the way."

"Take care of yourself."

Fang Jinling walked to the carriage, turned around and saw Liu Ke was still looking at him, and waved his hand involuntarily.

Liu Ke also subconsciously raised his hand and waved it, following the figure with his eyes until he got into the carriage before reluctantly taking it back.

"set off!"

After two months, we finally separated.

Xiao Tuanzi looked at Liu Ke who was standing at the door and watched for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, go back, the young master is gone."

Liu Ke felt extremely melancholy, and said with emotion: "It would be great if Lord Ning was not King Ning, and I can follow along."

Xiaotuanzi said faintly: "Even if you follow along, you won't be able to enter the gate of the Shang family. You will definitely be beaten out."

Liu Ke looked back at him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiaotuanzi looked at his master in a difficult and complicated way, "You were inseparable from the young master just now, I'm afraid I didn't see it, the eyes of several generals looking at you... are very meaningful, and this slave is terrified."

Liu Ke was taken aback, "No way? Master is very restrained."

"Even if the slave doesn't read much, he knows that these two words have nothing to do with you."

Liu Ke: "...nonsense."

"Really, as long as you are a person with eyes, you can tell that you are plotting against the young master..." Xiaotuanzi still has lingering fears thinking about it now, "Fortunately, we separated, otherwise Jianfengying would have entered the city."

Him, is he so obvious?
