The proprietress said: "Biliang Ningxiang is a royal product of the King of Shu and a special spice for the King and Queen of Shu. The Queen of Shu does not want this strange fragrance of Shu to flow into other countries, so the trade of Biliang Ningxiang is limited to the territory of Shu.

.Those who enter our Chen country can only buy it through the black market. And it is said that it is only available in our black market in Fanjing, and it is not available elsewhere!"

Shu'er thanked the proprietress who was familiar with her and went to other shops to inquire. In order to confirm that there was no such fragrance in other places in Chen State, the two siblings even went to Maangcheng and Jiujun, hundreds of miles away.

They continued to study spices there. After a month of going back and forth, they not only found out the quantity and distribution of the green fragrance in Chen country, but also turned Chen country's spice market upside down. The two siblings returned

Although they had lost weight since arriving in Fanjing, they had already figured out the ins and outs of Chen Guo's spice market.

Shu'er and Lin Ying discussed and decided to use all their private money and the one tael of gold earned from Lin Ying's "Linjiang Willow Picture" to buy all the Biliang Ningxiang. Biliang Ningxiang available in the market in Chen State.

It is true that Ningxiang is only sold on the black market in Fanjing. The two of them spent a few days slowly hoarding all the Biliang Ningxiang in the black market at home. They also made acquaintances who came to Chen from Shu to sell Biliang Ningxiang.

businessman, and signed a contract with him that Biliang Ningxiang could only be sold to their siblings in Chen Country within one year.

After that, the two siblings did not touch the green fragrance, and only hid the spices in the wine cellar. Lin Ying still spent more than half of the day painting, and Shu'er helped Yan Xiao and Su Qin.

An aunt took care of the restaurant's accounts. The aunts heard that the siblings were studying the spice business, and they did not object. They felt that it was something that should be encouraged for children to learn to support themselves. So the few of them decided that other businesses could be done.

But the restaurant must not be compensated. The two siblings readily agreed.

A few days later, the two siblings took Lin Ying's new paintings and went to the old city building to sell them every day. Finally, they met Li, the princess of the Chen Kingdom.

Li said: "Where have you two gone? I came to see you three times, but you were nowhere to be seen! My mother said that if I see you again, I can take you directly to the palace to play. She likes brother Xiaoying's paintings very much and said

The painting of the willow bank near the river was so lifelike that she was moved by the scene. She heard that you were from Chu country and ordered me to take you to see her."

So the two siblings followed Li into the Jinyang Palace of Chen State that day, and met Lin Huan, Queen of Chen State, who was Lin Ying's cousin and the daughter of the eldest princess of Chu State. She was kind and talkative, and kept praising Lin Ying.

His painting skills were comparable to the masterpieces collected in Jinyang Palace. He also kept saying that Shu'er was very beautiful and must help her find a good marriage.

Seeing Sister Shu'er's awkward smile, Lin Ying quickly changed the subject: "Today I brought another painting to give to the Queen." Then she unfolded a painting and said: "This is the 'Picture of the Ancient Ginkgo Tree in Chu Palace'"

, I hope the queen will accept it."

Lin Huan approached the scroll and asked doubtfully: "Have you ever been to the Chu Palace at such a young age?"

Lin Ying put away the scroll, took out the black jade pendant hanging around her neck and showed it to Lin Huan, and whispered: "Cousin, I am Lin Ying. Have you seen this jade pendant of my father's?"

Lin Huan was surprised to see the handsome boy in front of him, who was as tall as himself, holding a painting. It turned out to be the white and tender baby of his fifth uncle's family that he had seen in Linjiang Chu Palace on the day of his wedding.

Lin Huanping withdrew from the palace and said in a low voice: "I've seen it before! Each of the seven kings of the Chu Kingdom has a diamond pendant with a dragon pattern. Are you Lin Ying, the son of King Sheng, the fifth uncle? How come you are in Fanjing?

?" Then he looked at Shu'er beside him and asked, "Who are you?"

Shu'er shook his head slightly towards Lin Ying, and Lin Ying understood and said, "She is the sister adopted by my mother in Chu State."

Lin Huan said to Lin Ying: "I saw you in Chu Palace before I got married. You were less than one year old at that time. Although you are so handsome now, why are you so thin?"

Lin Ying sighed: "On the day my grandfather passed away, my father knew that the Chu Kingdom was going to be in chaos, so he sent me, my mother, and sister Shu'er out of the Chu Kingdom that night. We couldn't follow the official path of the Song Dynasty, because this would only

We could stay in the Song Kingdom, but we couldn't enter the Chen Kingdom, so we had to take a detour to the Shu Kingdom, cross the Xiling Mountains, and go all the way to the Chen Kingdom."

Lin Huan was surprised and said: "You guys have worked so hard! Why don't you come to me for help after so many years in Chen Country?"

Lin Ying said: "At first, my mother didn't want anyone to know that we were in the Chen Kingdom, because she didn't know if the eldest aunt was helping any king... Later, although she gradually learned that the eldest aunt was not actually willing to have disputes in the Chu Kingdom, she didn't

I live alone in Changshan. I originally wanted to tell my cousin that we were settling here, but I didn't know how to tell her. Fortunately, by chance, we met."

Lin Huan said: "Son, come here quickly, this is your little cousin, the young prince of Prince Sheng's Mansion. Don't tell others."

Li opened his eyes wide, walked around the beautiful little cousin in front of him, and finally said helplessly: "Why does he become my uncle when he is only two years older than me?"

Lin Ying smiled and said: "Hurry up and salute your uncle!"

Li snorted and ignored him. Shu'er laughed at the side, thinking to herself: "There is still one of your aunts standing here!"

Lin Huan said seriously: "Xiaoying, just tell me what I can do for you. If you want to go back to Chu State now, I can also give you some travel expenses."

Lin Ying followed the previous discussion with Shu'er and said, "Cousin, we have no plans to return to Chu State yet, but we want to do a business in Chen State to earn some money to support our family. Can you help us?

"

Lin Huan said: "You are having a hard time, right? How much money do you want, I will give it to you."

Lin Ying waved her hands and said: "That's not necessary. Although we are not rich, we are not stretched too thin. We don't want to trouble my cousin too much, and we don't want others to discover our identity and whereabouts. Cousin Buman, now we have Chen Guo in our hands.

We want to sell all the Biliang Ningxiang spices at a high price to make some money. However, Biliang Ningxiang is rarely known in Chen country, and the market demand is not more than what we have on hand, so the price is not

It cannot be doubled. You are the Queen of Chen. If you can tell us how beautiful this green fragrance is, when the rich ladies and princes and nobles of Chen come to buy it, we can make a lot of money.

When the time comes, how about a 30-70 split between my cousin and us?"

Lin Huan suddenly burst into tears and said: "Xiaoying, how much hardship have you endured in these years to be so good at calculating? How can you share the profits with me? I am the queen, I don't lack anything. I do my best.

, I must describe this green and fragrant wine as fine wine and jade wine, so that you can make a lot of money and live a better life from now on. In fact, Xiaoying, your plan is right. You are doing business in Chen Guo and stand firm.

Heel, even if one day you cannot return to Chu State, you can still live comfortably in Chen State."

Lin Ying couldn't help but be moved to tears when she saw Lin Huan was so eager to help. This was the second relative he had seen in so many years. He didn't know whether this powerful cousin would be willing to help, but he didn't expect that Lin Huan could.

So dedicated.

Lin Huan saw Lin Ying crying and hugged him. The two cousins ​​burst into tears. Shu'er looked on and felt sad, her eyes were red, and she missed her mother and brother in Yudu, Song Dynasty even more.

Lin Huan said: "Xiaoying, Shu'er, it's not easy for you to enter the palace. Apart from the green cold fragrance, is there anything else you need me to tell you about?"
