The moon is in the sky, the thin clouds are like gauze, the night is dim, and the frogs are croaking one after another.

Zhang Xilu supported her playful cheeks and looked at the grasshopper made of grass on the dressing table.

A smile slightly hung on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were hazy as if it was filled with water mist.

What I can’t escape from my mind are the scenes of traveling around with Su Mu today. Walking through the mottled walls of the ancient road and passing by the willow bank and lakeside. The sun is warmer, but Su Mu is more heartwarming than the sun.

Especially on the green willow bank, the poem Su Mu chanted in the pavilion while shaking his folding fan. In an instant, Zhang Xilu's heartbeat seemed to be still.

"The west of Jiating in the north of Gushan Temple, the water surface is flat and the clouds are low..." Su Mu stood in the pavilion and looked at Yunhu, holding a folding fan in his hand.

At that moment, all the eyes in the pavilion fell on Su Mu. In Zhang Xilu's eyes, Su Mu seemed to be radiating divine light.

Several early orioles compete for warm trees, and whose new swallows peck at the spring mud...

Such a talented man, such a handsome man coexisting with talent, no woman in the world can resist, even a woman with good talent and beauty like Zhang Xilu.

Because of Zhang Huazi's status, Zhang Xilu was able to enter and leave the high-ranking official family from time to time. Henan is prosperous, the east is beautiful, and the Yudu is gathered. How many talented young men and deceiving beauties are as good as Su Mu?

The flowers are gradually fascinating, and only the asakusa can lose horse hooves...

The charming eyes are not just random flowers. Once these two sentences come out, all the talented men and beautiful women who enjoy the scenery are surrounded. There are several names that Zhang Xilu can hear when she accidentally goes out on the street.

But at this moment, they all looked at Su Mu who was reciting poems with obsession. At this moment, Zhang Xilu could hear their messy hearts. At this moment, Zhang Xilu suddenly felt inferior.

I love the lake that is not enough to travel east, and the white sand embankment is in the shade of green willows.

After a poem was over, my ears were filled with the cry of Mr. Hanyan. I just felt a wave that swallowed myself in the huge wave.

Then, Su Mu grabbed Zhang Xilu's hand and pulled her away.

At that moment, Zhang Xilu was very happy. For the first time, she showed such a bright smile. At that moment, she didn't know how many people's hearts were broken.

If I had felt that I liked to be close to Su Mu before, then today, Zhang Xilu only had that handsome smile that made even a beautiful beauty ashamed.

"Da da da!" The door of the room was suddenly knocked.

"Ah? Who?"

"Xi Lu, you are a teacher. You probably haven't been asleep yet?"

"No." Zhang Xilu stood up and was about to turn around to open the door when she suddenly turned around and put the grasshopper on the table into her sleeves. Then she went to the door and opened the door.

"master!"

"Well, are you still happy to go out for a trip today?"

"Well...sak."

"You have been withdrawn since childhood and have few friends. You can have a rare opportunity to play with Su Mu. In the future, our master and apprentice will rely more on the Yan Palace, and it is also necessary to have a good relationship with him. This is the teaching outline compiled by the teacher today. You can take it for me tomorrow to check it out. If it is feasible, you can ask some military doctors to come to me first.

Since I promised to accept the teachings of my disciples, there is no need to wait for the college to be completed. Anyway, I have time to be a teacher now."

"Okay." Zhang Xilu took a stack of drafts, but accidentally dropped the straw-woven grasshopper to the ground.

Zhang Xilu's pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly picked up the grasshopper.

Zhang Huazi saw it and smiled slightly, "I'm very skillful and very exquisitely made. Is it made by Su Xiaoyou?"

"Um."

"Have you settled in love with Su Mu?" Zhang Huazi asked suddenly.

"Ah? No, no!" Zhang Xilu shook her head quickly, "We are just traveling around and enjoying the scenery."

"Well...it doesn't matter if you have it or not. But there are some things that you should remind you to avoid being hurt by love. Su Mu's character and talent are naturally impeccable, and his family background and status are few. But for this reason, Su Mu is also not accessible to ordinary women, and you should understand this principle.

Among the nobles and wealthy families, the most important thing is to be a good match. Although many people respectfully call their masters and call them miraculous doctors, in the final analysis, you and my masters and disciples are just wild animals. Some things cannot be avoided."

"Master, what are you saying? Su Mu and I are just ordinary friends and there is no feeling that the master is worried about... "But after saying this, Zhang Xilu felt a little disappointed in her heart, just like the inferiority complex in the watchtial during the day.

"Whether you have any is good or not, I am just a reminder. You need to think carefully, think twice before you act. It's too late, I am going back to my room first."

"Give me a gift to the master."

Zhang Huazi left, Zhang Xilu closed the door, and suddenly, sadness surged in her heart. She was stunned for a long time and put the grasshopper in her hand back to the dressing table.

In the Yan Prince's Mansion, Su Mu and Su Cheng each held half a watermelon. This seemed to have become a must-have item for the Su Mu brothers after dinner.

"My brother, I heard you wrote a poem today?"

"Not written." Su Mu replied casually.

"On the other side of Yunhu..."

"I just chanted a song casually, just pretending to be a pussy."

"Cough cough cough..." With a cough sound, a few melon seeds spewed out.

"You said... so lightly. Do you know that almost all the city is singing your song "Wangting" and you are also called the number one talent in the North City."

"False name is just a false name." Su Mu responded with a smile.

"Hypocritical, since he is famous, why are you laughing so happily?"

“…”

"My brother, I'm promising! The Su family has been military generals for five generations, but they have never produced a single literary talent. I thought the Su family's race was not suitable for studying. Now it seems..."

"Brother, I suddenly felt a little panicked when you said that..."

"What's the panic?"

At this time, Butler Zhou hurried over in a slight step, "Prince, Liang Qinian, the head of the Foreign Affairs Office, is here."

"Oh? I thought he would come tomorrow? I didn't expect it to come so soon, let him come over."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong with Liang Qinian's loyalty, but he is a little confused. He didn't even see what I could see. The two people sent by the Yun Prince's Mansion were fooled. I was fool!"

"Oh... It seems that my guess is right?"

"It's almost impossible to get along with you, Prince Yun's Mansion is even more anxious than us."

"Brother, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"explain!"

"Are you sure you saw it? Hahaha..."

Su Cheng gave Su Mu a blank look. After I got to know her, I seemed not as cute as before.

"Liang Qinian, pay homage to the prince."

"Qiannian, what can make you come to see me in such a hurry?"

"Prince, I dare to ask the prince, has the steel transaction between us and Prince Yun's Mansion been suspended for almost two months?"

"Yes..." Su Cheng said lightly, "Come on, cut another melon, Qi Nian, and eat it together."

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. It is inappropriate for the Yun Mansion to unilaterally interrupt the transaction. It is also necessary for the prince to be angry. But changing clothes at the border is the top priority, so how can you act irritably?

Now King Yun knows his mistake, how can he send someone to solve it? Why should the prince ignore major issues because of his anger? The Yun Prince's Mansion has iron and steel, so he can't change his clothes. But what should we do? If we can't change clothes, the Yun Prince's Mansion may be scolded, but we will definitely be punished.

King Yun has given the prince a step, why don’t the prince go with the situation? Please put the overall situation first.”

"Oh? Are you here for this?" Su Cheng asked coldly, "How much money did you collect from King Yun?"

"The loyalty of the prince to the prince is to be seen by the sun and the moon. The prince has not received any money and has never eaten a meal with King Yun. The prince's question really makes the prince feel disappointed..."

"You're so heartbroken!" Su Cheng stood up suddenly and smashed the melon in his hand to pieces.

"You made me feel heartbroken. Why did I have a fool like you under my command? Everyone is from the Foreign Affairs Office. You were actually fooled by those two people? Do you know what are the conditions for the Yunwang Mansion to resume the transaction?

The price of iron has dropped by 30%, and the price of steel has increased by 30%. Once in and out, it is 60%, 60%. You let me swallow my anger? Is this money my own? Is it yours? It is the blood and sweat of the people in Yan, and the blood and sweat of the Black Mountain miners. How can I agree?"

"This..." Liang Qinian was a little confused, but instantly fell to the ground. "Prince, the official is indeed inscrutable, but the official is willing to negotiate with the Prince Yun's Mansion. The official promises that the Prince Yun's Mansion can restore the original price transaction."

"Talk a big deal!" Su Cheng spitted, "Now King Yun is anxious, I am not anxious. Liang Qinian, Liang Qinian, why are you so stubborn? There are so many officials in the Yan Palace, do you think you are the only one who thinks about me? Isn't the Arsenal Production Workshop not unaware of the severity of the matter? Does the Military Service not know the importance of the matter? Are you trying to say that they are all corpses, and you are just loyal and loyal?"

"The officials... the officials dare not." Liang Qinian hurriedly buried his head, but felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

"I think, Wu Yao and Liu Yun think you are honest and can fool you, and they think you are like a fool. How do you know that King Yun has steel and iron?"

"Ah? Is this fake?" Liang Qinian was confused. If King Yun had an iron ore, he would have tormented?

"Why is this not fake?" Su Cheng asked with a cold smile.

"This...this..." Liang Qinian couldn't find his words.

"Now you know why I have to leave them alone, right?"

"It's because the officials are in prison and the officials are dull. It's just... the steel trade affects the border army's clothing change. The prerequisite for the prince to confront Prince Yun's Mansion is that it cannot affect the clothing change. Otherwise, it will be a loss-making loss."

"I am anxious, and King Yun is even more anxious. How can I spare him so easily? If you don't dig a piece of meat from King Yun, do you really think I am easy to bully? Liang Qi Nian, you go back and negotiate with them. You can resume the transaction, but the condition is that the price of iron materials in Yan land will rise by 30% and their steel prices will be lower by 30%. If you do this, you will give it to him."

Liang Qinian hurriedly bowed and said, "The officials must complete this matter as soon as possible, and it will not affect the major plan."

Liang Qinian left, and Su Mu looked at Su Cheng curiously, "Brother, are you not going to tell Liang Qinian that we can make steel by ourselves?"

"Brother, there are fewer people who can make steelmaking secrets, and fewer people know that they will not let the news leak out and be misled by others. Since you don't plan to seize the steel business with the Yunwang Mansion, don't let the Yunwang Mansion be suspicious. Even if you can't use the steel you make, it's good to store it."

"Brother, you're too worried about this. Why can't you use it all? I'm afraid it's not enough." Su Mu's eyes flashed. Steel is not only a magic weapon, but also a foundation of industry.
