Previously, Yang Xianmao had been walking around the city wall, and did not go to the direction of the palace and the yamen, so such a notice had already been issued. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This is understandable, since the army has to prepare for a protracted war, and hundreds of thousands of refugees have poured in the city, the original food is a little overstretched, and it is necessary to implement a rationing system to ensure that everyone has food to eat and can survive. Otherwise, if there is no food, the city will inevitably be in chaos, and at that time, it will be self-defeating, so this is also a strategy to defend the city.

From the current point of view, half a catty of food per person per day can only barely be enough for the elderly and children, but for young adults, it is definitely not enough. The army's food was fully guaranteed, and it was only food to keep the victims alive, not to feed them.

Of course, Yang Xianmao didn't need to queue up to buy food and then queue up to buy half a catty of food per person, she had already prepared enough food yesterday, otherwise, after the food was controlled by the army, it would be much more difficult to steal food from the barracks where the seventh-level purple qi powerhouse was stationed.

However, the food I brought back was raw, and it had to be cooked to be cooked. This will definitely not work in the inn, you have to find a place to live, a house with pots and pans.

I don't know if the price of the house or the rent of the house has increased now.

She hurriedly looked along the street, and found several houses for sale in a row, but after looking at them, she didn't like them very much, and finally came to a yard, and finally was satisfied. It is a house facing the street with a sign for sale.

She immediately stepped forward to knock on the door, she is not short of money to buy a house now, and it will be safer and more comfortable to have a house of her own. Although this house is not big, the wall is quite high, and there is a huge ginkgo tree inside, like a big umbrella, which is quite attractive to look at.

Next to the huge ginkgo tree is a three-story attic that can also be used as a belvedere to see the situation in the distance.

Qiu Yue was quite satisfied with the appearance of this house, and she didn't have time to look elsewhere, so she bought the next one first. The two or three hundred thousand people who entered the city were all homeless, except for temples and the like that could be accommodated, most of them could only sleep on the streets, and a small number of rich people rented or bought houses in the city, and after the Great Song Dynasty officials and troops surrounded Jinyang City, the empty houses in the city would soon be rented and snapped up.

The door of the house soon opened, and a middle-aged woman came out with a huff and said, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Qiu Yue gave her a sweet smile, Fei Yue once told her that the smile of a beautiful woman is a very powerful weapon, and there are few people who are not impressed by it, regardless of men and women, young and old.

Sure enough, the middle-aged woman's tense face, which was tense because of the siege of the Great Song army yesterday, immediately relaxed a lot after seeing her smile, and she also looked at her with a smile.

Qiu Yue said, "Auntie, do you want to sell this house?" Can I come in and have a look?"

The middle-aged woman who was guarding the door nodded, opened the door and said, "I want to sell, this mansion belongs to my nephew, I heard that the Great Song army is coming, and I have long fled to Liao." He also had a family home in Liao. The house was entrusted to me to sell, but the price was relatively high, so it was never sold. However, although the price is high, this house has only been renovated for two years, and it is still brand new. There are carved beams and painted buildings, the walls are high, and there are wells of their own, and there is such a big tree, which is good for enjoying the shade in summer. There are also cellars, kitchens, toilets, and three-door houses, all of which are available, but they are worth the price, but unfortunately they have not met anyone who knows the goods. ”

Qiu Yue followed the old woman to look inside and outside the house. The house was small, but it was exquisite, and it was indeed as the old lady of the concierge said. There is also a cellar in this house, which is neatly stacked with a lot of ice cubes, but it turned out to be an ice cellar, which is a common house supporting facilities for rich people in ancient times, that is, the ice cubes in winter are hidden in the cellar, and the heat insulation is made with cotton, so that the cellar has been at a lower temperature, and the ice cubes do not melt, so that you can take the ice out in the hot summer and drink iced sour plum soup and the like to relieve the heat.

He went to the kitchen again, and the kitchen shed was neatly stacked with chopped firewood, which would be enough for several years if it only cooked for the two of them. The kitchen has all the stoves and there is no need for additional ones.

Qiu Yue asked the price, and sure enough, it was higher than the price of other houses, but now, money was no longer a problem for Qiu Yue, and she agreed without a counteroffer.

The woman was very happy, and immediately went to call Li Zheng and the neighbors who came to the street, signed the deed, and Qiu Yue gave each of them a small ingot of silver as a thank you gift, and those people expressed their gratitude happily, and Li Zheng also said to Qiu Yue that she should say anything to her.

After the settlement of the house and the formalities of the deed, the woman had her own place to live in the city, so she took a simple package and left.

Qiu Yue saw that the rice bowl in the kitchen was almost bottoming out, and she didn't know if the porter had transferred the grain away, or if it was about to be empty, so she took out a bag of grain from the storage bag and poured it directly into the rice bowl, and refilled the rice bowl. This bag of rice is more than 100 catties, which can be enough for the two of them to eat for two or three months.

She took some vegetables, meat, and condiments and put them on the cupboard.

When she had set it up, she locked the door and found a carriage back to the inn.

She went back to the room and knocked on the door, and saw that the princess's face was pale and her delicate body was trembling, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked what's wrong? The princess pulled her in, closed the door, and said tremblingly, "I...... , just asked the guy to bring a table of wine and food. I thought you should come back, but the man told me, and the shopkeeper said, that henceforth the inn would only provide lodging, not food. I had to go to the street to buy the food myself, I didn't believe it, and I went to the shopkeeper, but he said the same thing. I give double the price and they don't do it. Then I got the news that the Northern Han army had transported all the grain from all the rice banks in the city to the barracks, and the yamen also posted a notice asking everyone to register and receive the grain book. One per person, only half a catty of grain can be bought every day. What now?"

Qiu Yue said: "Don't worry, I bought a mansion, there is everything to eat in it, let's go and have a look." ”

The crown princess was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Really, where is it?"

"It's not far ahead, let's go!"

Qiu Yue asked the crown princess to wait, saying that she would take out her package. With that, he reached under the bed and fished it out, and of course took out a bag of gold and silver jewelry from the storage bag and carried it on his shoulder.

The crown princess was very surprised and said, "I have seen it under the bed, there is no package, where are you hiding?"

Qiu Yue blinked and said, "If you can find out, then you won't be called hiding." - Let's go. ”

Qiu Yue took the princess out of the inn after settling the bill, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the house she bought.

When they arrived at the door, Qiu Yue stopped, turned back to the crown princess and said, "Here we are, this is our new home." ”

The crown princess looked up at Qiu Yue happily and asked how much it spent? Qiu Yue said, "You don't have to worry about the money, I bought it, it didn't cost much." ”

"I have money, why don't I use it? I'll give it to you as much as I spend. "Anyway, take the money from the package.

Qiu Yue slapped her hand and said, "Do the two of us still want to divide you and me?"

As soon as she heard Qiu Yue's words, the crown princess suddenly became overjoyed, reached over and took her hand and smiled, and then said no more.

The two walked up the stairs to the gate of the courtyard, Qiu Yue took out the key to open the lock, pushed the door in, and bolted the courtyard door again, and went around the inside, familiar with the environment.

The crown princess found that there was a three-story attic at the back, and she was very happy, so she went all the way to the third floor, which was actually a boudoir, which seemed to be originally inhabited by the owner's daughter, and the bedding was all available, and they were all brand new.

When you open the window, you can see the street scene outside and the tall and mighty city walls in the distance, as well as the soldiers with small black dots on the walls.

The crown princess took a deep breath excitedly, turned around and hugged Qiu Yue tightly and said, "I like this place so much, you really know how to find it." If there was no Great Song army attacking the city, we would have lived here for the rest of our lives, at ease, how happy we were. ”

Qiu Yue put her arms around her waist, helped her brush her sideburns and hair that was blown by the cold wind, and said, "The two of us may have to find some helpers, otherwise what about laundry and cooking?" ”

The crown princess shook her head and said, "Don't, I don't want anyone to disturb us." When we close the door, we won't open it, and if no one comes, we don't want a porter. As for laundry and cooking, you can learn to do it, you teach me. ”

"I'll teach you? I'm missing someone to teach me. ”

Both giggled.

Qiu Yue said: "It's okay, let's fumble and do it, anyway, we make it ourselves and eat it ourselves." ”

Qiu Yue said: "There are many people on the street who are fleeing from the famine and begging for food, so why don't you buy a maid to serve you." ”

"Don't!" the crown princess twisted her waist and said coquettishly: "Don't let anyone disturb us, just me and you." I believe that we can take care of ourselves. ”

Qiu Yue smiled and stopped persuading, hugged her from behind, and the two snuggled up to look at the scenery outside the window.

A few days ago, it had just snowed in Jinyang City, and the roof was covered with thick snow. And the snow on the street has been trampled into slush and ice, and from time to time people slip and fall on the street.

The two of them were watching, and suddenly they heard the terrifying sound of the horn in the distance, and once it sounded, several horns sounded at the same time, coming from the distant city tower.

Both of them were shocked to find that the pedestrians on the street suddenly panicked and hid in Tibet. I'm afraid of being implicated in the war, but I don't know where to hide.

From the window, you can see from afar, and the soldiers of the brigade immediately rushed up the city wall along the sloping road, and the soldiers of the city wall suddenly increased.

In a moment, there was a faint shout of killing, and arrows were seen flying over the city walls, and raindrops were shooting into the city.

Their mansion is far away from the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall are just a vague dot, but that is only beyond the reach of ordinary people like the crown princess, and Qiu Yue's eyesight is strong, and she can clearly see the soldiers fighting on the city tower.

She saw the soldiers on the city tower fall from arrows from time to time, and saw the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty climb up from the cloud ladder, and the two sides fought on the city tower, and the scene was extremely tragic. The soldiers defending the city kept shooting arrows, throwing down rolling logs and stones, and pouring burning oil down.

Qiu Yue saw that the defenders were extremely tenacious and well-trained, so there were not many Song soldiers who attacked the city, and they were basically killed and their bodies were thrown off the city tower.
