Chapter 414: A Short Letter, a Deep Feeling
Lin Ting stood in front of the gate of Weirui Pavilion. What Aunt Wei said was what everyone in the border town wanted to say. They all hoped that Lin Ting could come to his senses and stop helping the Xiluo people.
Buying fox furs at such a high price will only make the Xiluo people richer and richer, and when the Xiluo people become rich, they will come to attack them again.
Every time Xiluo went to war, the people in the border town were the first to suffer. So Lin Ting worked so hard to send wealth to the Xiluo people, which indirectly meant that he was the enemy of the border town.
The people in the border town have tolerated her for a long time, she'd better come to her senses and turn back.
"Auntie Wei is right. Even if you are a businessman, you are a businessman from our Dongxia Kingdom. You cannot help the Xiluo people.
If you want to do business, you can learn from Mrs. Lin. They make peppers, sell corn, and open a grain store, and they can make money just like her.
We don't care what agreement Dongxia and Xiluo signed, but since you're doing business in Border Town, you can't help the Xiluo people, otherwise, get out of Border Town."
"That's right, if you're in the fox fur business, get out of our border town, get out..."
The people in the border town did not know that the Madam Lin they were praising and the Madam Weirui they were scolding were the same person.
Lin Ting, using his real name, distributed food and Wushan chili peppers to them in front of a warehouse on another street in the border town, so that they could fill their stomachs before the corn was planted.
Therefore, the people in the border town are grateful to Lin Ting, but they hate Lin Ting's other identity, Madam Weirui.
Bai Lu clenched her fists in anger. Their lady had done so much for the people in the border town. When the Xi Luo army was at the gates of the city, it was their lady who had not slept for several days before they achieved victory.
There was a drought in the border town, and it was my wife who delivered water and found ways to find water sources, which is why we are so energetic today.
Madam has done so many things silently, why do they have to unite and scold her in the end?
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who gives you the right to order my wife around..."
Bai Lu was so angry that she was about to vent her anger on Lin Ting, but Lin Ting pulled her back.
"Ma'am, they..."
Bai Lu's face turned red with anger, and Lin Ting shook his head at her.
Then he turned around and spoke to a group of people gathered at the entrance of Weirui Pavilion.
"If you feel that my business is not going well, you can ask the government to tell me, or you can go to General Han's mansion and ask General Han to judge the matter.
Otherwise, you can also go to the Second Prince. If even they ask us to move out, then I will definitely not stay in the border town. That’s all I have to say.”
The people at the gate looked at each other in bewilderment. This Madam Wei Rui seemed to be very wealthy, and she did not rely on the people from the border town to maintain her business.
Xiluo is the old enemy of the people in the border town. Now that the two countries have ceased fighting, the border town is in ruins. They are angry and pent up their anger. Lin Ting's behavior is simply lying at the gunpoint of the people in the border town.
Lin Ting returned to Weirui Pavilion and sorted out the account books of the fox furs he had recently collected. He did not take the words of the people outside to heart.
Bai Lu, on the other hand, sat next to Lin Ting angrily.
"Madam, if you are angry, I can help you teach those people outside a lesson."
"Forget it, we do what we should do. They are just a group of injured people. It's normal for them to complain after seeing me like this."
Bai Lu looked at Lin Ting. She said that she didn't care, but her hands were flipping through the account book much slower than usual.
Come to think of it, who would not care at all if being scolded for no reason? Their lady is just too kind.
Bai Lu didn't know how to comfort Lin Ting, so she could only try her best to share the business chores with her.
In the evening, Ling Feng brought Xiao Jingchuan in from the back door. He was holding a letter in his hand. His stern appearance made people afraid to approach him.
"Madam, the second prince is looking for you."
Lin Ting collected the account book. He had been calculating all day, but still hadn't finished calculating the purchase invoice. He had made a few mistakes and had to start over.
She stood up and nodded towards Xiao Jingchuan: "Second Prince, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Xiao Jingchuan walked up to Lin Ting, straightened his body, and paused for a long time before handing the letter in his hand to Lin Ting.
"I have a letter for you in my house. I brought it to you."
Lin Ting took the letter from Xiao Jingchuan's hand, looked down, and saw that the message on the envelope was from Shen Qingzhou.
Lin Ting had been in a gloomy mood all day, but the moment he saw these words, all the dark clouds disappeared.
"It's a letter from Shen Qingzhou."
During the months since they separated, Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou had been exchanging letters, and the previous letters were sent directly to Weirui Pavilion.
But Lin Ting felt that the people in the border town were dissatisfied with Weirui Pavilion. She was afraid that someone would do something bad and she would no longer receive letters from Shen Qingzhou, so she asked Shen Qingzhou to send them to the second prince's house.
"Second Prince, next time you have a letter, just have your servants deliver it to me. Thank you for making the trip this time."
Xiao Jingchuan remained silent, but his cold eyes seemed to be saying, next time, and next time?
Lin Ting opened the letter from Shen Qingzhou, which was filled with his longing for her. The letter was short but the feelings were deep. Seeing this, Lin Ting's eyes were filled with light.
Xiao Jingchuan watched Lin Ting's expression change little by little. It was just a letter from Shen Qingzhou, but she went from a look full of wisdom to a childlike innocence after reading the content of the letter.
Looking at the second piece of letter, Lin Ting's face was filled with surprise.
"Shen Qingzhou is coming to the border town. He is coming to the border town."
Seeing Lin Ting happy, Bai Lu and Ling Feng were also happy for her. This letter was the only thing worth being happy about in Weirui Pavilion in recent days.
When the adults come here, even if there is a flood or a beast outside, there will be someone at home to make the lady happy.
"Really? Madam, did the lord come to Border Town from Yunzhou specifically to see you?"
Lin Ting shook his head. "No, they're building a reservoir and need the mud from cooled volcanoes. There's a dormant volcano on the top of Wushan Mountain near Biancheng, and they're going there to collect that material."
Lin Ting was very happy. He would be able to see Shen Qingzhou soon.
When she thought of Shen Qingzhou, she thought of her daughter again. Although Lin Lin would write to her every few days to tell her about Shen Wanyi's situation, she couldn't see them and she still missed them very much.
"Second Prince, it's getting late. Please stay in Weirui Pavilion for dinner. I have all the fruits and vegetables from the capital."
Lin Ting was in a good mood today, so she turned around and invited Xiao Jingchuan to stay and have dinner with them. Her Weirui Pavilion had everything.
Xiao Jingchuan wanted to refuse, but when he saw Lin Ting was so happy, his body nodded in agreement first, and even his thoughts could not keep up with his body's actions.
"Bai Lu, have someone prepare everything that's been shipped from the capital and cook it for the Second Prince to taste."
"Yes! Madam."
In half an hour, a table full of delicious dishes was prepared in the backyard of Weirui Pavilion.
Xiao Jingchuan and Lin Ting sat down, and Bai Lu served them food.
Usually, Lin Ting and Bai Lu eat together, but today is different because Xiao Jingchuan is here.
