Crying? Lin Wanrong thought for a moment and understood. The Grand Mistress's temperament was hard on the mouth but soft on the heart. She must have heard from Madam that Qiaoqiao had begun to tidy up the house and thought that she was going to move out soon, so she was sad and crying. He knew this girl's character very well. She seemed to not care, but in her heart, she was very nervous.
"Yesterday, Big Sister Xu and I bought some things. When we returned to the shop, we saw the Grand Mistress hiding in the room and crying secretly behind our back." Qiaoqiao faintly said, "Big Brother, the Grand Mistress is really pitiful. She and Madam are so good to you. Let's not separate from them, okay?"
"Silly girl, who said we are going to separate?" Lin Wanrong held the little girl in his arms. The Grand Mistress's stubborn and gentle appearance appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that we, Madam and the Grand Mistress will always be a family and will never be separated. When the Grand Mistress comes back, I will tell her that we will all move into the big house. It will be warm and lively. How good would that be? "
Qiaoqiao obediently responded. She looked up at him with a charming smile and said in a sweet voice, "Big Brother, you are so good."
As the two entered the room, Lin Wanrong began to think about the matter of the 'Spicy Nose Grass' she had obtained from the Turks, so she took out Ashile's precious pouch from her pocket and began to pour the long and thin tobacco leaves onto the table to examine them. This kind of crude tobacco was very crude. The Turks would only put it in a pot and light it to smoke. But in the hands of Lin Wanrong, it was different. He was a typical unscrupulous businessman. How could he miss such a profitable thing?
He asked Qiaoqiao to take out a small iron grinder to grind the tobacco into fine powder. Then he asked her to take out a thin piece of paper and wrapped the tobacco in it, slowly rolling it up. Qiaoqiao was famous for her dexterity. She rolled the tobacco and handed it to Lin Wanrong according to her brother's instructions. This cigarette was straight and slender, and was quite similar to the cigarettes in his previous life.
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. He lit a cigarette and a faint smell of tobacco wafted into his nostrils. Although compared to the good cigarettes of his world, the taste was bitter and dry, and couldn't be compared to those good tobacco, but in this era, it was good enough to have cigarettes. This was an invention, another huge gold mine.
"Big Brother, what is this?" Qiaoqiao covered her nose and asked. He found it hard to adapt to the smell of tobacco.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "This is called tobacco. It's a very profitable business. I want to use it to extort money from the foreign devils, hei, hei."
Qiaoqiao didn't understand what he was saying, but seeing that her big brother was in high spirits, she faintly smiled and didn't say anything.
Thinking about what Lu Dongzan had said, that the place where the tobacco grew was near the southern foothills of the Altai Mountains, which was part of the Turkic Khaganate, Official Lin felt somewhat indignant. Damn, such a good thing, how could it grow in the Turkic Khaganate? Recklessly wasting natural resources! Snatch, he had to snatch it! The reason why the Hu invaded China was for the land, but China couldn't just chase them away and be done with it. They had to snatch it, smash it, and kill it, there was no need to be courteous.
He laughed mischievously and pulled Qiaoqiao's small hand, saying, "Qiaoqiao, in a little while, your big brother will go on a long journey. You and the Grand Mistress and the others stay in the capital, don't be afraid. I'll come back after I finish my business."
Qiaoqiao was startled, "Big brother, where are you going?!"
"I'm going to snatch, oh, no, I'm going to take, I'm going to take some things." Official Lin sternly said, "With this thing, our China will be able to trade with other countries. We'll let them all go smoke and enjoy themselves. Tsk tsk, this is such a grand dream. "
Qiaoqiao's expression darkened. She warmly looked at him and said, "Big brother, is the place you want to go far? I want to go with you. "
"This, you can't go." Lin Wanrong didn't know how to explain it. Say that he wanted to go to the battlefield to fight with the Hu? Let alone Qiaoqiao, even he himself didn't believe it. His only wish was to occupy that large piece of tobacco land. As for who would occupy it, it wasn't something he considered. In any case, it wasn't him, Lin Wanrong. There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and old man Li Tai in front of him, so no danger would come to him. However, the safest method was still to become the commander-in-chief of the three armies. With the protection of a large army, at the very least, he would be able to escape and not lose his life.
"You can stay in the capital and set up our restaurant. Big brother is going to take care of a very secretive matter. There won't be any danger, so you don't need to worry. "Lin Wanrong stroked Qiaoqiao's hair and comforted her with a smile.
Qiaoqiao understood her big brother's temper. Once he decided on something, it would be very difficult to change it. She could only let out a slight sigh and softly said, "Then big brother, you should come back soon. Me, the Grand Mistress, and Big Sister Xu will be waiting for you."
"That's natural. Big brother also misses you guys, especially my little darling Qiaoqiao." Lin Wanrong's mouth was smeared with honey and sweet words flowed out as soon as he opened his mouth. Hearing this, Qiaoqiao's little face turned red, but she was also very happy. She tightly leaned into her big brother's embrace, not saying a single word.
This girl had been with Lin Wanrong for the longest time and was the most gentle and considerate towards him. It could be said that they were a married couple. After receiving his grace, she had long since grown from an inexperienced and ignorant little girl into a charming little married woman. Her figure was becoming more and more voluptuous, and when she smiled or frowned, she was gentle and elegant, and also gorgeous and moving. Official Lin couldn't help but dote on her.
Lin Wanrong gently stroked her butt for a while. Then he lightly whispered into her ear, "Little darling, Xu Zhangjin gave me something good. How about we try it today? Ai, my poor little darling is going to suffer. "
Hearing this, Qiaoqiao's ears turned hot and her entire body felt weak. She weakly leaned into her big brother's embrace and softly said, "Big brother, don't, it's still daytime right now — —"
"Have you never heard of the term 'lewd in the daytime'?" Lin Wanrong's large hand pressed down on her butt and slowly rubbed it. Then he lifted her up and was about to walk into the room.
"Cough, cough — —" A light cough sounded from behind the two. Qiaoqiao was startled and her face turned red. She quickly hid behind her big brother. Lin Wanrong turned around and saw Lady Xiao with a faint smile on her face. She was standing in front of him with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Yi, Madam, you're back? I'm playing a game with Qiaoqiao right now. Would Madam like to join in? " Lin Wanrong's expression didn't change as he asked in a serious manner. However, his heart was full of regret. He had forgotten to close the door when he was doing business. He deserved to be caught.
Lady Xiao shook her head and chuckled. She pretended not to hear what he said. She looked at him and said, "Lin San, a beautiful lady came to look for you yesterday. She waited for you the whole night. Did you see her?"
"Beautiful lady?" Lin Wanrong frowned and was puzzled. "Where is she? Is she as beautiful as Madam? "
Lady Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't be so glib. Has the lady left? Sigh, not only is this lady beautiful, she didn't eat or drink in order to wait for you. This kind of love is really admirable. "
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Madam misunderstood. There's nothing between me and her. She's a little maid from the royal family of Korea. She asked me to do something for her. My relationship with her is really pure. There's no adultery. Qiaoqiao can testify. "
Qiaoqiao was embarrassed when Lady Xiao saw her and her brother's happy occasion. When she heard her brother mention her, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, we didn't do anything —"
Lady Xiao couldn't help but smile. Looking at the two of them being so sweet, Qiaoqiao really found the right husband. It's just that Lin San was a playboy. He had flirted with countless women. Unfortunately, both of her daughters were involved with him. What should she do? She smiled, but her eyebrows wrinkled unnaturally.
"Eh, why didn't I see Grand Mistress?!" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
"She stayed in Jinghua Academy and talked to Yushuang," Lady Xiao looked at him and sighed. "Lin San, Yushuang asked me to pass a message to you."
"What did Second Miss say?" Lin Wanrong said happily, "I haven't seen her for a few days. I miss her."
"Really?" Lady Xiao naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense. She coldly snorted, "I see that you're busy all day. You're fighting for the Prince Consort and making friends with the little maid from Korea. How can you have time to think about her? Yushuang said that if you don't go to see her, she will bring General Zhenyuan from Jinling — "
Lin Wanrong was covered in sweat. This little girl, when she first entered the academy, she repeatedly told me that she wouldn't come back until she finished her studies. She told me not to see her because she was afraid that I would distract her. But now, I did as she said, and she's complaining about me again.
"Lin San, do you remember?" Lady Xiao saw his embarrassed expression and became even angrier. You always love your Qiaoqiao like a treasure. How can you be so careless with Yushuang?
"I remember." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I originally wanted to see her earlier, but Second Miss told me that she wanted to concentrate on her studies. She told me not to disturb her if there's nothing, so I have been following her instructions."
"You'll do whatever she says? Why don't I see you being so obedient in front of me? Do you need me to teach you the mind of a woman? "Lady Xiao said with dissatisfaction.
You were the one who stopped me and Second Miss, and now you are the one who encouraged me to hook up with her. Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only agree. In front of this Lady Xiao who was so protective of her daughter, no matter how much grievance he had, he had to endure.
"Little brother Lin, little brother Lin —" Suddenly there was an anxious shout outside the door. Xu Wei rushed in from the outside and didn't even greet anyone. He pulled him out.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Mister Xu, what's wrong? I'm busy talking to Lady Xiao. "
"What are you talking about?" Xu Wei looked anxious. He looked around and carefully whispered in his ear, "His Majesty, something happened to the Emperor —"
