Chapter 141 Three People Face to Face
In addition to dealing with the matter of cold-weather supplies when Li Heng left Beijing this time, he also secretly went to see the high-yield grain seeds he had bought from Shen You.

The latest planting time had already passed. According to the planting method given to him by Shen You, he found someone in a suitable place and tried to plant a small field.

Local hot springs were used to ensure that the food would not freeze, which was a method used by Gongtian, so that the palace could have fresh food even in winter.

This consumes manpower and material resources and is only suitable for experiments to see the results.

The rice has grown.

Each plant was shockingly strong, and the yield was so high that the old minister, who was familiar with farming, burst into tears on the spot.

It is the first time in my life that I have seen such rice. What kind of place is the "Western Regions" and how powerful it must be.

If it can be planted every year in the future, famine in Da Qi will no longer be a problem.

When they learned that these seeds only cost a little gold and precious golden nanmu, everyone said it was worth it.

With grain seeds like these, are we still afraid that the power of the Great Qi will decline?
These are the things that Miss Shen brought.

Thinking of this, Li Heng's heart was in turmoil, and he just wanted to come back quickly to tell her the good news.

But she should not be in Da Qi.

The distance between him and Miss Shen was not just that small courtyard, so the moment he knew that she had come to the Da Qi Palace banquet, he was extremely excited.

He secretly wondered if this meant that they were closer.

After the palace banquet, I followed her and saw another person standing next to her.

Everyone says that the national teacher is a treacherous minister who spreads evil words to confuse the people, but what he is doing now is beneficial to Da Qi.

He should respect those who saved Da Qi.

But he couldn't understand why his father, who was always suspicious, dared to give such great power to a person of unknown origin.

"I heard that Miss Shen went to the palace banquet."

Li Heng walked forward confidently, his posture dignified, "I wanted to hurry back, but I was still a little late."

After saying this, he seemed to have just noticed that there was a person holding an umbrella next to him, "Is the Imperial Master here too?"

The two people stood opposite each other. They didn't say anything and their eyes were calm, but the air seemed to be inexplicably colder.

Wen Zhi's smile remained unchanged. "Since you have something important to do, there's no need to rush back."

The implication is that it doesn't matter whether he comes back or not, Shen You is not here to see him.

"After all, so many people in the capital are watching you." Wen Zhi said in a light tone.

"Thanks for the advice." Li Heng thanked him with a smile. His words and actions were appropriate, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Turning to Shen You, he said in a more familiar tone, "Where are you going next, Miss Shen? I know the capital quite well and can guide you."

He said thank you for the tip, but actually he didn't listen at all.

Shen You maintained an awkward yet polite smile on his face. It was a very polite situation, but he just felt that something was wrong.

Just about to speak.

I heard Wen Zhi beside me laugh slowly, his voice was cold and lazy.

"There's no need to come to my house together, right? You should take care of your own affairs first. There's going to be chaos in the north."

Li Heng lowered his eyes slightly, and the cold snow fell on his dark cloak.

Before he could say anything, Wen Zhi spoke to Shen You, "Look, he might talk about a woman's reputation."

The tone was full of complaints.

Li Heng really didn't expect that he could speak like this, and his expression was stunned for a moment.

I have never seen such a gesture by the Imperial Master who could make the Imperial Observatory's supervisor go away and said to the eunuch who managed the palace's storehouse, "Take it, you" in front of the saint. Li Heng reacted and explained immediately, "Miss Shen, I didn't mean that."

At first, I thought that it was bad for Miss Shen's reputation to go to another man's house alone at night.

But on second thought, it is indeed inappropriate to apply these rules to Miss Shen.

Wen Zhi wanted to say something else, but Shen You pulled his sleeve and looked at her and he stopped talking.

This is an important customer in front of me. It is not right to offend him when doing business.

"Thank you for your kindness." Shen You said to Li Heng politely, "I came to the capital for some things. I have already done them. There is no need to trouble you."

"The shop has been sorted out."

She was talking about cotton textile technical data.

"Okay." Li Heng heard her refusal and did not insist. He just said, "Miss, if you need anything, you can contact me anytime."

After saying goodbye politely, Shen You took the money from the shop and dragged Wen Zhi away.

In that awkward atmosphere, it’s better to run away quickly.

All the hairpins she prepared were sold out, except for those reserved for the palace and the princess's mansion.

Everyone watched as a box of silver was delivered to the carriage, which further confirmed that the Western Region business was led by the Imperial Master. It was only natural for him and the girl from Yunzhou to appear here today.

After earning several thousand taels in one night, Shen You nodded with satisfaction. How about selling modern fireworks during the next New Year?
"You still have his jade pendant, if you lose it, I'll give you one."

Wen Zhi thought of the jade pendant that was lying in Shen You's cloth bag.

It’s just a token of trust, who doesn’t have it?
Shen You stopped, her tone was incredible and sad.
"You let me lose the top-grade mutton-fat jade worth seven figures? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

She can't throw away anything even if it's worth a hundred dollars.

Wen Zhi paused, looking at her face full of true feelings for the seven-digit jade, and curled the corners of his mouth in silence.

The night market on the winter solstice in Da Qi can be open until two or three in the morning.

The snow had stopped by now, and a boat carrying several women traveling together was slowly passing through the bridge hole. People who had just bought lantern hairpins could not wait to put them on, and they also became a part of the scenery.

Shen You and Wen Zhi did not take the carriage back, but walked slowly along the way, stopping when they saw anything interesting.

I met quite a few acquaintances today. In a shop selling stationery and books, Xie Guanrong was stunned at first, and then, where no one could see, he bowed and saluted to Shen You.

He now looked completely different from the day he fled into the shop, and Shen You almost didn't recognize him.

Xie Guanrong immediately recognized the immortal who had saved his life.

He was appreciated for his work in epidemic control, so he had the opportunity to come to the capital to study. He usually worked here as a helper to earn some money for himself and his younger brother.

Shen You bought a book about the history of Da Qi and left the shop.

Good inkstones and brushes are hard to buy in ordinary shops. I looked at several but couldn't find any suitable for resale.

On the street not far away.

Liu Yunyan looked at Shen You several times with curiosity in her eyes.

She didn't react at first when she was outside Liu's shop, but after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly became clear to her.

A man from Yunzhou, no one in the capital knew him, but his cousin, the prince, and the imperial teacher all knew him.

They are all people related to business in the Western Regions, so this girl is the shopkeeper my cousin mentioned.

To the Western merchants who brought them those delicious things!
Liu Yunyan clenched his fist. He finally saw him and really wanted to go up and make friends with him.
