As soon as Xiao'er's carriage entered the city, they saw Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu waiting on the side.

After a few pleasantries to each other, the two brothers led them to the house.

On the most lively street in the city, Shen Jingwen was setting up a stall in a corner to help people write letters, when several exquisite but unpretentious carriages passed by, which made him unconsciously look at it more.

He has been setting up a stall in the county seat for a while, and the carriages that come and go in the city every day are almost the same, these carriages should be from other places, and the family must be very noble, and they don't want to be public, but they don't want to lose their identity to use this kind of carriage.

Suddenly, he saw Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu accompanying the carriage in front, he quickly lowered his head, but he was a little shocked in his heart: Could it be that they are back?

It's no wonder that Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu have come to the city gate every day in the past two days, originally to welcome the three-room family.

Shen Jingwen couldn't help but raise his head slightly, wanting to prove the conjecture in his heart, at this time, the window of the carriage lifted the curtain, and he saw a face that seemed familiar but felt extremely unfamiliar, and his heart was mixed, sure enough, they came back, and he thought that they would never come back if they abandoned their ancestors and forgot their ancestors!

Seeing Xiao'er looking in her direction, Shen Jingwen turned sideways slightly, opened the folding fan, and covered his face.

After a few carriages passed by, Shen Jingwen took the folding fan and looked over.

Looking at the carriages, and the people on both sides who obviously looked like guards, the envy and jealousy in his eyes couldn't hide it.

At this time, an aunt came over to him to write a letter, Shen Jingwen came back to his senses and waved his hand: "Auntie, I am not free today, I have to close the stall, you can find a second one!"

After Shen Jingwen said this, he quickly cleaned up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and ran towards the city gate.

The aunt muttered, "I haven't seen anyone push the business out!"

Shen Jingwen didn't care about making this money, he had to go home quickly.

Xiao'er in the carriage opened the carriage curtain and looked around, leaving for a few years, the streets of the county have not changed much, several time-honored big shops are still there, but some small shops have changed, but this is also a very normal thing, only some brands with a good reputation can withstand the test of time.

Xiao'er's eyes skimmed over a booth that was writing letters for someone, and she stayed for an extra second before turning her gaze away.

The carriage soon stopped in front of a large four-entry mansion, which was a new house that the Liu family had bought in the county the year before last.

Liu Zhiwen quickly dismounted, and he said to the porter: "Open the door quickly, my aunt and my cousin are back!"

As soon as Xiao'er and the others entered the city, Liu Zhiwen sent the little servant back to report the news.

Tan and Liu Minhong had been waiting here for a long time, and Tan heard his son's voice and hurriedly said, "Quick, open the gate quickly and let the carriage of my sister-in-law's family drive directly into the second gate." ”

"Zhiwen, let your aunt's family not have to get off the carriage, the weather is cold, the north wind is whistling, don't freeze your little cousin. Liu Minhong also spoke.

In the end, when he came to someone else's house as a guest, Xiao'er asked Liu not to get out of the carriage, Xiao Jingzhe is really still young, it's freezing this day, don't freeze.

The four siblings got out of the carriage and saluted Liu Minhong and Tan.

Liu accused his eldest brother and sister-in-law in the carriage: "I'm sorry, eldest brother, sister-in-law, I won't get off the carriage, when Jing Zhe is older, I will definitely bring him to kowtow to you." ”

"Look at what you said, what's there to be sorry for, if you dare to get off the carriage, I will kick you out immediately!" Tan said with a flattered sigh of disgust, but Xiao'er's brothers and sisters still had the same attitude towards their own family even if they were rich, which made her feel very comforted.

Everyone laughed when they heard Tan's words.

"Let's go in first, grandpa and mother are in a hurry!" Liu Minhong said.

When the family walked in, it was inevitable for relatives to meet with salutes and greetings.

After the two families had eaten, Xiao'er's family returned to the guest house arranged by the Tan family, and went to bed separately.

Because the second day is Liu Lin's birthday, Xiao'er's family is not in a hurry to return to the village, they will live in Liu's mother's house this night, and then return to the village after their birthday, anyway, they will return to the imperial capital after the New Year, and there is a lot of time.

At night, Xiao'er didn't go to sleep, she sat at the table and took out the letter paper while writing a letter to Shangguan Xuanyi while waiting for Zhao Yong to come back.

Now the imperial court is fighting with the Li army, and General Li has silver but no grain and grass, and if the Li army is in the form of a caravan, it is not impossible to transport grain and grass to the northwest.

The bumper harvest of the past two years has caused many counties and towns to no longer lack grain, grain prices are low, the people are not short of grain, and there are fewer people to buy, resulting in the income of grain merchants being much worse than before, and grain merchants have thought of selling grain to the northwest and Xiyuecheng and other areas.

Because the entire Min Ze country, which is the most short of food in the northwest region, learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and the emperor supports this matter.

However, this time is different from the past, and now the sale of grain to the northwest region is very strictly controlled, otherwise if the grain is accidentally sold to the enemy, it will really boost the enemy's arrogance.

Originally, because the official roads have toll checkpoints, it is easy to find out what is wrong with the caravan.

However, in the far away place of the Emperor of the Mountain, the supervision is not strict, and some people accept bribes in order to seek their own interests, and let go of the enemy's grain team with one eye and one eye, which is also difficult to be discovered......

Xiao'er waited until midnight on the third watch.

Yang Liu brought Zhao Yong in, and Xiao'er motioned for Yangmei to pour Zhao Yong a cup of hot tea for him to drink after drinking.

Zhao Yong took the tea, drank it quickly, and then said: "There is really a problem with the convoy, and the subordinates followed the convoy all the way, and after they settled down in the inn, they took advantage of the night to check the contents of those carriages, and found that the grain was full of medicinal materials to stop bleeding and heal wounds! The subordinates also heard them discuss that several convoys had already set off, and they could earn a lot of money by taking such a trip. ”

Xiao'er thought of the weapons made by Li Mingjun's private army, and Dagen also transported it away like this: "This matter can't be delayed, you write to tell Brother Shangguan as soon as possible, let him make arrangements, don't let the enemy succeed." In addition, in the past few days, you have also secretly checked which merchants are buying a large number of medicinal materials, cotton and other military supplies, and tell the news to Brother Shangguan as soon as possible. "Only by cutting off the enemy's military supplies will the battle be half won.

Shangguan Xuanyi, Di Shaowei and thousands of soldiers will not be able to celebrate the New Year at home.

Zhao Yong nodded, this matter is not trivial, Zhao Yong naturally knows the severity.

"Go down, take a good rest, and if you can't get busy, let Feng Yang help you. ”

Zhao Yong nodded and retreated.

Xiao'er only went back to bed at this time, and not long after she fell asleep, it was dawn.
