Chapter 117 Haizhou Cangsha
【@贺凛: We will set off in five days. We must escort the imperial tribute this time and there must be no mistakes. We cannot rush the journey. We will arrive in the capital in about a month.】
【@Guan Yue (Mountain Bandit Sister): Don’t worry, my escort agency is sending two veteran escort masters this time. 】
[@贺麟: After going to the capital, I have to be more secretive and careful, but I have confidence. ]
He Lin already had a plan on how to run the flower shop after arriving in the capital.
Just use the same approach as Internet celebrity stores, inviting noble ladies from Beijing to check in to improve the style. With Hou Xiaoxiao, a first-rank lady of noble rank, as the spokesperson for the promotion, it feels stable and secure.
If they can create some themed scented teas and milk teas to go the exquisite route, such as health teas, weight loss and whitening teas, and bring in the hot squad leader in Beijing, the young and handsome director of the Imperial Hospital, to endorse their health products, I don’t believe that no one will support them!
There are also flower-themed makeup, which is linked to Hou Xiaoxiao's cosmetics shop, jewelry shop, clothing store, etc.
Not only will he open a flower shop, he will also open a music shop, train his own "artists", and hold auditions.
This time, it is finally his turn to become the capital!
He Lin discussed the arrangements for arriving in Beijing with the Beijing team in the group, and the whole class was excited when they saw it.
[@江麗麗: From now on, any penny dropped in the capital will go into the pockets of our Class 447! ]
[@Master Liao: I really hope I can grow up quickly. I can only stare at you guys who are so majestic and impressive, and I can’t do anything. I have to listen to my mother who I traveled through time and space to nag me every day.]
【@江麗麗: Come on, why didn't you say anything when eating the delicious food your mother made? 】
The two little guys walked in front holding things, while Xin Che and Jiang Lili walked behind and talked.
Xin Che was still wearing the gorgeous clothes he wore today when attending the birthday party of the head of the He family.
He usually wore plain black clothes, which were simple, neat and handsome. It was the first time that Jiang Lili saw Xin Che wearing something complicated and exquisite, which showed another kind of handsomeness with dignity.
At this moment, Jiang Lili couldn't help but steal a glance at him. She thought that when he was still a prince, he was also dressed luxuriously and full of vigor and vitality.
Xin Che: "Did everything go well at the He family today?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lili's eyes curved into crescents with a smile. Who can understand the happiness of being with a rich woman? "It went unexpectedly smoothly. The head of the He family trusted me very much and gave me the Peony Gold Seal when we first met."
Seeing Jiang Lili smile, Xin Che also smiled unconsciously: "Your idea is very good, anyone who sees it will be moved."
"By the way, how did you get into the VIP seats?"
Jiang Lili thought that Xin Che would mingle among the servants and cooks coming and going, but she didn't expect him to go straight to the table.
Xin Che said calmly, "I got a spot by borrowing the help of a flower shop owner in Lianzhou."
He put a cape on Jiang Lili and asked in a chilly tone, "Was the performance of the musicians at the birthday banquet today good?"
"Ah, musician..." Jiang Lili opened her almond-shaped eyes and remembered how engrossed she was when watching the handsome guy's performance. Oh no, she was caught.
Jiang Lili coughed a few times and said seriously, "It's okay. I'm just carefully observing their fingering techniques."
Facing Xin Che's inky black eyes, Jiang Lili felt extremely guilty and pulled Xin Che towards the post station: "Let's go back, I'm sleepy!"
Xin Che looked at Jiang Lili holding his hand, her face still as cold as ice, but a hint of blush crept up on her earrings.

The next morning, a piece of news brought by the bailiffs put the fugitives, who had had a hearty meal at the buffet yesterday, in a bad mood.
Everyone in Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion was having breakfast together when Xin Cheng came in, holding up a map of Haizhou in his hand. "Wang Zifu just announced that the Lianzhou government office has arranged for us to take the He family's merchant ship to Haizhou the morning after tomorrow."
Jiang Lili was not surprised. He Shao had mentioned this to her before she left yesterday. The He family's merchant ship going to the South China Sea would take them, the exiles, to Haizhou.
The various government offices were not very interested in managing these fugitives. In the past, fugitives who were exiled to Haizhou were taken aboard merchant ships and the merchants were given some conveniences.
Xin Cheng spread out the paper map in his hand on the table: "In the past, the exiles all landed on the island at Zhuya, Haizhou, but this time, the yamen runners said that the Haizhou government arranged for us to land on the island at Cangsha Ferry."
Chen asked in confusion, "Why? My father's good friend went to Zhuya before. Although it's not prosperous, it's still a market and a village. I haven't even heard of this Cangsha Ferry."
Xin Cheng relayed what the yamen runners said: "First, piracy is rampant at sea, and the voyage to Cangsha Ferry is relatively safe."
"Second, the government wants to develop Cangsha and send us, a group of exiles, to open up the wasteland."
"Open up the wasteland?" Marquis Zhaoping frowned with a hint of worry. "Except for the yamen runners, there are only about fifty of us exiles. How can we open up the wasteland? I'm afraid we will be left to fend for ourselves."
Jiang Lili found the location of Cangsha on the map, which was almost at the southernmost tip of the large island of Haizhou: "Is there any human presence in Cangsha?"
Xin Cheng nodded and said, "I have asked around. They say there are about a hundred households of aboriginals, but they usually live in caves and cliffs and rarely come down the mountain to interact with others."
Well, this is to let them play a game of survival on a desert island.
Jiang Lili posted the news that she was exiled to Cangsha in the group.
【@周居善（大内总管）：Li Li, I secretly showed you the dog emperor's territory sand table. Cangsha is really a place where no one lives. There are only two villages over there, which are taken over by Ling County, but they are separated from the county government by five mountains. No one cares about it, and no one wants to come. 】
[@学委薛蔚(太傅的子): I asked my father, the government will also throw some extremely vicious and difficult to discipline prisoners to Cangsha as coolies, you should be careful. ]
Jiang Lili felt very disappointed.
Forget it, think about the bright side. If no one is bothering her, she can flex her muscles and do whatever she wants.
Lady Yang, the wife of Marquis Zhaoping, asked worriedly, "We are going to take a boat this time. What do we need to prepare?"
Jiang Lili comforted her, "This time we are going to take the He family's merchant ship. The He family has prepared the medicine and dry food to prevent seasickness for me. Mother, just sit back and relax."
Yang saw how busy Jiang Lili was these days with the He family's affairs. She patted Jiang Lili's hand and said, "Good boy, you are really our family's lucky star."
"If there is anything you need our help with, you must tell us, don't carry it on your own."
Jiang Lili blushed at the compliment and nodded in agreement. When they arrived in Haizhou, everyone would have to take action, so she would naturally not be polite.
She looked around but didn't see her exiled partner: "Where's Xin Che?"
Xin Cheng replied, "My eldest brother went out early in the morning for something."
They were going to board the ship tomorrow, and the yamen runners allowed each family to send one person out to buy the items needed for boarding the ship.
But my brother definitely didn’t go shopping, he went out for something important.
