Chapter 128 Want to recruit him as son-in-law
Guess? Mingyi was at a loss, facing Xue Lin's sudden twitching of the corners of his mouth and the narrowing of his eyes, "Aren't you the best at guessing?" Mingyi blinked, remembering the excuse he used to cover up that she knew something. Was this a way for him to take advantage of her? Xue Lin had already changed the topic, "Madam, since you know the account books are important, you should not rely on others in the future." Mingyi agreed. She tightened the account book and hugged it to her chest. She nodded and said, "Don't worry! It won't happen again. Don't worry about Fanshuang. I told her that she won't tell anyone." " "What you're talking about is about the account books?" Xue Lin didn't say anything, just raised her hand and pointed at the account books she was holding tightly to her chest. Mingyi nodded, listening to what he meant, what else should she say? Xue Lin pursed her lips slightly, and the thin smile in her eyes disappeared, "Since you are my wife, I have to trouble you with some things." "Captain, please speak." Mingyi straightened her expression. "I'm afraid I'll have to ask my wife to go out with me in two days." "Where to go?"
"Kishu!" When Xue Lin came out, the heavy frost and light rain waiting on the verandah outside the house immediately froze, and he lowered his head and said nothing. Xue Lin walked out without squinting. The two girls had just breathed a sigh of relief when Xue Lin suddenly stopped and glanced at the two of them, "From now on, I will call you Madam instead!" Fan Shuang and Wei Yu quietly glanced at each other, tightened their scalps in unison, and whispered "yes". Xue Lin then took a step away, heading towards the main room, and never looked back. "What did the Governor want to do when he went to Jizhou?" That day, Xue Lin said he was going to Jizhou and then left the house. After that, he didn't see anyone for two days. Until today, Xu You was ordered to come. , told Mingyi to leave for Jizhou tomorrow, Mingyi seized the opportunity and tricked Xu You into talking about it. In his left and right hands, he was holding the powder made of peach blossoms that Mingyi had just given him. Xu You looked at the beautiful color and marveled at it. He didn't even want to raise his eyes. He just responded casually, "I heard that my sister-in-law came from Wangjing." On the way to Beiguan, apart from asking for topographic maps, did Guan Laolin also hold a geographical annals of Anxi? Didn't it say Jizhou in it?" "Yes, I wrote it. Jizhou is close to Beidi among the fourteen states in Anxi. There are prosperous trades with each other. There are also many people who intermarry with the Di people. It is considered to be a relatively prosperous place among the fourteen states... I know this, but there is no geographical map there. Tell me why the governor wants to go to Jizhou." Mingyi said in a matter-of-fact tone. Xu You finally turned his attention away from the jars of powder, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Okay, if you have short hands, just focus on the ones my sister-in-law gave me before, and these jars of powder today. I really need to talk to my sister-in-law. She knows that our Anxi Army’s cavalry battalion is right?” Mingyi nodded, “I know, wasn’t Captain Lin from the cavalry battalion before?” "Beidi people grew up on horses and are best at cavalry for fast attacks. Our cavalry battalion is indispensable. However, the horses sent by Yuanma Temple are mostly Central Plains horses, and their leg strength is much inferior to the horses from the Western Regions. When fighting, It was also a loss. Lao Xue had been thinking about this since he took over the Anxi Army. He wanted to follow the example of his predecessors and build a large horse farm to buy horses from various places for breeding. Over the years, it has gradually grown to a certain scale. It's just that people from Beidi often come to attack. Whenever there is a war, there will inevitably be losses, and we have to replenish it all the time. Not to mention anything else, just this money is like running water, flowing in straight. " Horses are the foundation of armor and soldiers, and are of great use to the country. Mingyi's eyes lit up as she listened. She didn't expect Xue Lin to think so far ahead. This horse is probably where the large sums of money in his private account flow. "So, when we go to Jizhou this time, it's also about horses?" "Yeah, that's right." Xu You nodded, "There is a famous horse dealer in Anxi. He has connections in various countries in the Western Regions. He also has a group of talented people who are the best at hunting and training horses. The horse breed in his hands is the huge Anxi The best. He holds a horse tasting meeting every year. We often went there in previous years. Most of the horses in the horse farm come from here. But in the past two years, Lao Xue has not dared to go. Then the horse dealer picked up Qiao, and he won't sell any horses to us." "Last year there was another big battle. When we went out, we counted 15,000 horses, but when we came back, we could fight less than 3,000. If we don't step up and add more, the next time the Beidi people come again, how about we run and chase them?" So that's it. Mingyi understood, but... "Master Xue doesn't dare to go?" The smile on Xu You's face suddenly became strange. He lowered his voice slightly and said, "Isn't it? What do you think? It's the horse dealer. Although he is just a trader, he is very talkative in the Fourteenth Prefecture of Anxi. Yes, Lao Xue went back and forth with him, and he actually fell in love with Lao Xue and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, so Lao Xue was so scared that he didn't dare to go anymore." Mingyi was shocked, is it because of this? Xu You looked at Mingyi's face and was a little surprised. As for the worry or the smell of jealousy, he couldn't see it at all. He couldn't help but sigh and silently lit a candle for Governor Xue in his heart. This was a hindrance to Old Xue. It’s long!
"No, this time we are holding a horse racing event in Jizhou. Old Xue first got a sum of money from Mingdaozhai and has a lot of money. Secondly, doesn't he have a sister-in-law now? Now he dares to come in person. I’m going to do a big job and buy some horse breeders, and I’ll need my sister-in-law to do a lot of work then!” Mingyi's scalp felt a little numb when she heard that, "The horse dealer wanted to recruit the Governor as his son-in-law, so there was a quarrel. If the Governor's wife followed, I'm afraid it would make him even more unhappy, right?"
"That's not true. Fourth Master Hu... even though that horse dealer is a bit arrogant, he is also the most temperamental person, especially a lover. He never breaks up lovers, and he believes that all lovers in the world belong to him. A confidant, he loves money, but he is righteous and willing to go out of his way to protect his confidant. Therefore, as long as you and Lao Xue are lovers, he will definitely not force you anymore. Instead, he will be relieved and regard you as a confidant. Think about it, It’s all worth it, let alone selling some horse breeds! So..." Xu You looked at Mingyi and smiled so evilly, "Sister-in-law, the task is very difficult this time! Whether you can do it or not, just It’s up to my sister-in-law.” Mingyi's scalp tightened even more, and then she completely understood. This was asking her and Xue Lin to pretend to be a loving couple. What kind of lovers are they? She and Xue Lin are not! This is how to do?
Xu You looked at Mingyi's face, which was visibly stiff, and twitched the corner of her mouth secretly, as if she had disappeared, and went to play with the boxes of powder again, "This powder is fine and silky, and the color is really beautiful. My sister-in-law is really capable." Mingyi was thinking about something and replied casually, "If you like it, I'll give you the recipe later." "That's not necessary. I used to ask you for prescriptions in Wangjing. I was afraid that it would be useless when I came to Beiguan, so I had to find a way on my own. But now, sister-in-law, haven't you already come? From now on, sister-in-law will make makeup by herself. When the time comes, please think of me and do more, there are ready-made ones, and they are the best. Why should I do it myself? It’s laborious, and I may not be able to catch up with my sister-in-law." Xu Youxiao It's so brilliant that the listener can't help but admire his thickness of face, as he plays a deadbeat. Mingyi thought of something, and suddenly raised her bright eyes and looked at Xu You, "Young Master, do you really think this makeup is good?" (End of this chapter)
