On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 253 News from Qi Mansion

Qiu Boqian took a closer look.

Three words of water stains quickly faded away.

Governor's House.

Qiu Boqian was slightly startled and looked up at Yan Ruyu.

"Can I ask?"

Qiu Boqian hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."

"I wonder what the princess wants to know?"

Yan Ruyu said casually: "It's nothing, I just want to know how the governor of this city is doing on weekdays and if there is anything interesting. My second brother wants to write a book in the future, so he must collect some interesting things."

Qiu Boqian didn't expect this to be the reason, so he chuckled and said, "I see. Only you dare to collect and write about the governor's affairs."

"By the way, my aunt's house has a bookstore, which is the largest in Xucheng. I also know a little bit about it. Books nowadays are different from those in the past. Do you know what sells best?"

Yan Ruyu pretended not to know: "What?"

Qiu Boqian smiled mysteriously: "Yes..."

Huo Changhe cleared his throat. Qiu Boqian was so frightened that he quickly sat down and suppressed the smile on his face. He said seriously: "It's some messy stories, some kind of book of words of talented people and beautiful ladies."

Yan Ruyu sipped her tea: "Don't worry, my second brother is very talented and will definitely become famous in his writing."

"If the second young master wants to write, he can leave it to my aunt's bookstore to do it. He will not lose money in any way. The princess doesn't know that the bookstore has a set of business models. Leave it to my aunt and let her big shopkeeper do it. Enough."

Huo Changhe said: "My second brother is arrogant and arrogant. I'm afraid he won't want to, so I'd better let him think about it himself, give it a try, and think about it."

Qiu Boqian didn't dare to refute on his face, but secretly sighed in his heart. He had heard that Huo Changxu was a bit talented, but... that was also because he was the second son of Zhennan Palace, and others gave him some respect. Now... I'm afraid it's hard to say. If this second young master really goes out to look for him by himself, he will most likely hit a wall.

He thought quickly and decided that he still had to go home and talk to his aunt and uncle.

Qiu Boqian left the gift he brought to say goodbye, but Yan Ruyu did not refuse.

Huo Changhe said: "I think this kid probably doesn't believe him and went back to report the news."

"Don't worry, if he doesn't believe it, I will let him believe it, and he must believe it with all his heart."

"What should I do?" Huo Changhe asked.

He feels that he can do too well and his sense of presence is too low. The person who used to be the strategist now feels that he has nowhere to put his hands and feet. This feeling is really not good.

Yan Ruyu peeled off a few orange slices and gave them to him: "My lord, don't be anxious. Leave the trivial matters of this small business at home to me. You have big things to do."

Huo Changhe's eyes lit up: "What's the big deal?"

"When the secret guards arrive..."

Before she finished speaking, Meng Mengliang said at the door: "Princess, someone wants to see you."

Yan Ruyu swallowed her words, and Huo Changhe stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

Meng Mengliang handed over the name card, Huo Changhe opened it and read: "Please come quickly."

The person who came was the chief steward of the Qi Mansion. Huo Changhe recognized him. He had followed Qi Delong on the battlefield in his early years and was very loyal.

"Your Majesty, Princess, Madam asked me to report it. As the Princess expected, there is indeed something strange in the city."

Yan Ruyu's face condensed slightly: "What should I say?"

The chief steward whispered: "Someone purchased a large amount of grain from a rice shop in the city. After purchasing several batches, the rice shop's stock of rice was less than one-third of its original value."

"If something unexpected happens and the city gates are closed and rice shops have nowhere to transport grain, panic will inevitably occur in the city."

Huo Changhe said solemnly: "That's not the case. Xucheng is a big city and there is an official grain warehouse."

The chief steward nodded: "What the prince said is reasonable, but the official grain warehouse cannot be opened except in times of war or epidemics. It is always closed.

Moreover, even if we open the door despite the law, the governor will have to come forward. My city envoy will not be in the city when he is out. If something happens..."

Yan Ruyu took over and said: "These are things for later. Whether it's the grain in the rice shop or the official warehouse, they are all responses after the accident. What we need to do at this stage is to find out what accident they want to create. .”

"My wife, according to what the princess said, has sent people overtly and covertly, but nothing has been found so far. I have asked several rice shops, and the people who buy rice have different appearances and different accents. I really can't find out at the moment. "

Yan Ruyu tapped the edge of the table with her fingers: "Who owns the largest rice shop in the city? Madam, can you recognize it?"

"I know it's from the Qian family," the chief steward explained. "The people buying grain should also know the news and go to their grain shop first."

"The Qian family?"

Huo Changhe explained: "Qiu Shangwei's husband, Qiu Boqian's uncle, is named Qian."

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "That's a coincidence."

"Butler, I'll write a handwritten letter. You can take it back and give it to Madam. Madam will know after reading it."

"well."

Huo Changhe spread paper and polished ink for her, while Yan Ruyu picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter. Huo Changhe looked at it, feeling slightly confused.

After writing it, he handed it to the housekeeper: "Madam, please don't worry and stay calm. I have my own way to deal with the food issue."

"Yes."

The butler put away the letter and left in a hurry.

Yan Ruyu turned her head and looked at Huo Changhe: "Do you have anything to ask, Your Majesty?"

Huo Changhe brushed the hair from her cheek: "No, just do whatever Yu'er wants to do, and I will clear the obstacles for you."

His fingertips were slightly hot, hairy, and a little itchy. Yan Ruyu wanted to avoid them, but inexplicably held back.

Looking up at Huo Changhe, his eyes were extremely dark, clearly reflecting her current appearance.

Yan Ruyu looked at her little self and felt that something was different.

The letter just now did not avoid him, maybe... from the bottom of his heart, he also wanted to gradually show his true self, and one day tell him frankly?

Huo Changhe looked at her delicate and small face, with a confused expression he had never seen before. He really thought it was extremely cute and couldn't help but pinch her chin with his fingers.

Suddenly I thought...

Just as he lowered his head, a shrill voice came from outside the window: "The prince and the princess are sitting under the big tree, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing!"

Huo Changhe: "..."

Yan Ruyu's mind was slightly shaken, her rationality returned to normal, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Huo Changhe was even more embarrassed, and his ears suddenly turned red.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and Huo Changhe immediately explained: "It has nothing to do with me if it wants to be red."

"Hey, your ears are red! You're so shy! Oh, oh, oh, the prince and the princess are sitting under the big tree, kissing, kissing, kissing, kissing!"

Huo Changhe gritted his teeth: "Where's Xiaolan? Treat it!"

A group of shadows fluttered towards the window, and the starling was instantly frightened.

Just after being quiet for a moment, Huo Changheng and Huo Qinxiang were lying on the window sill.

"Brother, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"

"Uncle Prince, are you angry? Why are you angry?"

Yan Ruyu laughed loudly.

Huo Changhe: ...His face fell to the ground and he couldn't pick it up at all.

……

On his way back, Qiu Boqian went to a restaurant, ordered a banquet, and ordered them to be sent to a small inn in the evening.

Returning to Qian's Mansion, I asked as I walked: "Are aunt and uncle at home?"

"Here, the chief shopkeeper of the bookstore is here, reporting something important."

"Oh? That's good, I'll go take a look."
