Yan Yuqing had thought that after the coral necklace was completed, the bad talk towards the empress would slowly come to an end and this matter would be forgotten.

Unexpectedly, just after lunch, Manager Jin sent the attendant to invite Yan Yuqing.

When Yan Yuqing went to the Golden Tower, she saw a few bandit songs scattered around the place.

The Liu Family Golden House was no longer bustling with noise and excitement from yesterday. A few patrons came in, and when they saw those few people, they turned their heads and left.

Yan Yuqing pursed her lips at those people and asked, "Who are they?"

The boy whispered to Yan Yuqing in a low voice, "It's the Zheng Clan's song." "They are used to acting so arrogantly on the streets. Ordinary business people would not dare to provoke them."

Seeing that Yan Yuqing had arrived, Shopkeeper Jin reported seriously, "In the morning, there were a lot of customers. Our coral necklace has been sold for nine times. The news had already spread, saying that our Liu Family's Golden Tower's items are of high quality and cheap. "

"Fu Ruixuan's business was very ordinary. Yesterday, it was because of the coral hairpin that his neighbors came to his shop. Seeing how cheap our coral necklaces are and how well they're selling them, I think we've affected their business. "

After listening to what Manager Jin said, Yan Yuqing had a rough idea of the cause and effect of the matter.

"We did influence their business." Yan Yuqing said honestly, "But we won with a fair price."

Shopkeeper Jin nodded and said cautiously, "Doing business based on a peaceful way of making money. Are they trying to suppress our store by finding so many songs? "

Yan Yuqing did not expect Zheng Jian to be so brazen and ruthless when he was out on a date with Lu Siyuan and his other unruly friends, even with his father as an official and his aunt as an imperial concubine.

He knew that Xiao Yan had returned to Long County, so he sent his department head to the Golden Tower to cause trouble.

Yan Yuqing ordered the shopkeeper to send someone to report to the official. She also ordered him to wait for her eldest brother, Yan Qimu. She then brought the girl, Qing Zhu, with her as she walked towards Fu Lixuan.

Only by knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can you be invincible.

She wanted to see what Zheng Jian was planning.

Fu Ruixuan was not as classical as Liu's Golden House. The floor was paved with black jade, the ceiling was crystal, and the atmosphere was oppressing.

Yan Yuqing looked around and understood the overall situation of Fu Ruoxuan.

The items here were more than expensive, but the style was old-fashioned and there weren't many types. Some of them are based on the style that was popular a few years ago.

No wonder business was so poor.

The few coral hairpins were placed in the most conspicuous position, and beside them were jades and golden pearls.

Yan Yuqing's gaze stopped at the Golden Seawater Pearls. She had already come to a conclusion.

She wanted to see how far Zheng Jian would go. If she was willing to let go, then she would leave some leeway and not end things.

When the shopkeeper saw the many treasures bracelet on Yan Yuqing's wrist, his smile became even wider than before.

Jin Bu shook, Jin Lin, and Yan Yuqing patiently looked at all of them. After a long while, none of them were chosen.

Looking at the displeased expression on Yan Yuqing's face, the shopkeeper quickly ordered someone to fetch a set of golden pearl heads from the warehouse. He shook them, a necklace, a ring, a bracelet, and earrings.

The beads were round and smooth, as big as cherries, and of excellent quality. However, wasn't this color a bit too dark?

The manservant next to Yan Dian ran over and reported to Yan Yuqing, "Those people have all been taken away by Jiang Jingxing. I heard that when the Grand Commandant heard of this, he beat Zheng Jian up."

"For such a small matter, can I get an email?" Yan Yuqing was surprised.

She had heard her father mention that they were all in charge of inspecting officials at all levels and could be reported directly to the heavens.

Because of their great power of mail, the officials and military officials avoided them as much as they could.

The boy looked around to make sure no one was listening in before he replied cautiously, "According to our husband, they are all from the Crown Prince's side."

Was it Xuanyuan Jue's people? Yan Yuqing felt that his authority was beyond her imagination.

Xuanyuan Jue was in charge of this matter. Regardless of whether it was helping Xiao Yan or helping her, she owed him this favor.

Since Yan Codex knew that they were all people of Xuanyuan Jue, it seemed like his relationship with Xuanyuan Jue was very good. This wasn't bad either. At least for the current Yan Clan, this would be harmless.

However, he didn't know if Zheng Jian would let it go just like that.

He had heard that he and Zheng Jian were both small animals, and that it would be hard for them to repay each other even if they bared their fangs. It was a quiet, windy day.

Yan Yuqing got Qingzhu to pay the deposit on the head of the golden pearl to the shopkeeper before going back to the Liu family's gold shop.

The receipt in Yan Yuqing's hand pointed straight at Zheng Jian's heart like an unsheathed sword.

"Give me some pieces." This was the first thing that Yan Yuqing wanted to say when she saw the Yan Codex.

Yan Codex knew Yan Yuqing's intentions and could only smile, asking, "Are you borrowing from the Yan Clan, or from me?"

"Will Yan Shi give it to me?" I'm asking you for it. " Yan Yuqing did not stand on ceremony as she said so straightforwardly.

"How much do you want?"

"Two thousand." Yan Yuqing gestured with her hands.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Jin was flabbergasted.

Ordinary officials were only allowed to own eight hundred pieces. People like Xiao Yan, who led the army, only numbered a few thousand. The Yan Clan's young lady asking for 2,000 yuan in one go had scared him quite a bit.

"Two thousand pieces!" Are you going to war? " Yan Shi said angrily, "I'll give you five hundred. That's enough."

She did not need to use 200 pieces of the Liu Clan's Golden Tower. Giving her some more to raise in the Mansion of the King was already more than enough for a young lady like her. Not everyone received the same treatment as the young ladies of the Yan Clan.

Seeing that Yan Shi had decided to only give her five hundred, Yan Yuqing panicked and said, "I'll be going to Xiangyang in a while."

Yan Shi immediately became serious. "What are you running to Xiangyang for? Xiao Yan is not always in Xiangyang. " Saying so, he glanced at Manager Jin.

Manager Jin was so innocent that he could not speak. He could only lower his head and continue listening attentively.

Yan Yuqing saw that Yan Codex had misunderstood so she did not try to hide it anymore. She said, "I heard that there's a pine mine over there. I'm going over there."

"You want to use my zigzag to move the stone?" Yan Dian exclaimed.

Yan Yuqing pursed her lips, "What rock? That's turquoise. If its quality is good, it's enough for us to raise fifty thousand pieces for at least three years."

Yan Dian's face changed when he heard this. He opened his mouth to say something, but did not know what to say.

He looked at the shopkeeper and then looked at Yan Yuqing.

Yan Yuqing knew what he wanted to say, so she nodded and said, "You guessed right. I just want to make a fortune and train the crown prince's private army." I didn't plan on hiding this from Xiao Yan. The Xiao Clan was in charge of overseeing the Dragon County. Even if there were any problems in the capital, they would not be able to send many soldiers back. "The Zheng family is like a tiger watching its prey. The Cui family has another concubine, who gave birth to a prince. No one can guarantee that the last person they will defend will be the crown prince."

After hearing that, Yan Codex pondered for a moment before raising his head again. It was already bright. He smiled at Yan Yuqing, "I think my sister has thought it through. I don't have that many songs for the two thousand, let me discuss it with the clan leader when I get back. I think he would agree. "

Yan Yuqing nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you." "Taking advantage of this matter, I can reasonably draw a part of the lines, so it won't be too obvious."

"Alright, you have to be careful too." Yan Codex knew that Yan Yuqing was right, and he loved his little sister dearly.

She wasn't like an ordinary girl, carefree and carefree. She cared about rouge and makeup, unlike a handsome husband of some sort. He was just like a man. His heart was part of the imperial court, and he was adept at the affairs of the concubines.

For the sake of the Yan Clan, for the sake of the people they cared about.
