(Girls' Literature)

Chu Shaoyuan smiled helplessly, there was really something important in the study that he couldn't leave, otherwise he would have to tease Chan Yi well, but it's a pity.

He said, "You are not in good health, try to avoid the heat in the shade of a tree, and wait for me to come back in the evening for dinner." ”

Whether it was when she was in Yunfu City in the past or now in Taiping Town in southern Sichuan, Chu Shaoyuan is always busy, and she can only pay more attention to food and use, Chanyi felt a little sorry in her heart, and she didn't dare to delay his affairs, so she hurriedly let him go, and even Xia Mingche didn't say a few words to her.

Back in the study, several staff members had already drawn the topographical map of southern Sichuan.

Chu Shaoyuan looked at the detailed topographic map, his eyebrows stretched, and he looked at Xu Huai: "This map is the most detailed?"

Xu Huai nodded: "I can't make a mistake, I have personally explored, these days I have walked from southern Sichuan to northern Sichuan, although I dare not blatantly measure along the way, but I have an estimate of the distance under my feet, plus I have seen the residual map before, so I naturally know it by heart." ”

Chu Shaoyuan was overjoyed in his heart, "In this case, the route of southern Sichuan can be determined, and then it will be northern Sichuan, although the span from south to north is a bit large, but if northern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan can't be taken, the deployment of southern Sichuan will be useful." ”

Xia Mingche thought for a while and said, "I heard from Neizi that the Ma family has taken refuge in the past, since it is to take the lead, you can't let the prince go in person, how can the Ma family also show an attitude, otherwise wouldn't this refuge be too child's play?"

This is also something that Chu Shaoyuan has been thinking about these days, however, he smiled and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, it has not yet reached this point." ”

Xia Mingche felt that some things needed to be prepared for a rainy day, otherwise when things came to him, wouldn't he be in a hurry to get out of control?

"The Ma family is a big family in southern Sichuan, and there should be no contact with northern and eastern Sichuan, maybe this matter, we can use the friendship of the Ma family to use, and the iron ore matter should also be used as soon as possible, if it is done, the Ma family will not have the slightest room to regret it, they will inevitably become more and more cautious. ”

Although Xia Mingche did not mention the past of the Ma family, Chu Shaoyuan still understood to some extent that as long as they were tied together, even if they were reluctant, they could not easily betray the master, otherwise the end would not be easy.

Chu Shaoyuan raised his head and smiled slightly: "That's why I said that there is no hurry, the iron ore is mined first, this matter cannot be hidden, even if the Ma family is unwilling, they can't help it, now what matters is how to pull a batch of rice grain from Jiangnan, seeing that there is still a section of the summer harvest, and the grain is really cut off, I am afraid that there will be chaos." ”

Before Xia Mingche came, he heard about Chu Shaoyuan's request for food.

He lowered his eyebrows, and his expression was a little unpleasant: " Although I am not in the household department, but there are classmates in the household department, intermittently exposed news, the matter of food and salary is still a little difficult, and now everywhere is urging food and salary, not only Sichuan Gui, such as the northwest These places are more urgent, especially in the nine border towns, the imperial court still values it, so although it will not be less to be able to get Sichuan Gui here, but it may be too late for time, plus now the four princes are in Jiangnan, the first rice grain in Jiangnan has just come down, you know, the governor of Caoyun has just been promoted, and I don't know how to deal with it。 ”

This is also the most worrying thing for Chu Shaoyuan, food and salary have always been the most important thing to raise soldiers, if the soldiers don't even have food and clothing, who else is willing to die?

He muttered: "Before coming to southern Sichuan, I had already asked people to pass a letter with Ning Guogong, and it is estimated that he should not refuse this time." ”

The so-called correspondence was actually a bureau for Ning Guogong, didn't Ning Guogong always like military power? Then this time, as he wished, he put some of the soldiers hidden under Chu Shaoyuan's command under the name of Ning Guogong, and doubled the establishment of the General Military Mansion, but Ning Guogong still couldn't scream, because these were all requested by him, if he immediately disarmed, I am afraid that these soldiers would be able to practice in the General Military Mansion for a few rounds, which would be enough for Ning Guogong to drink a pot.

Xia Mingche smiled: "This method is very scoundrel as soon as I hear it, but for Shangning Guogong, it is still the scoundrel's method that works best." ”

This is not, now Ning Guogong has handed over the fold, Chu Shaoyuan received the news that the fourth child lost his temper after hearing about it, and scolded Ning Guogong's uncle, or wrote a letter to scold, there have been letters from Jiangnan for several days, as of today, the fourth child has sent no less than ten letterheads, and Ning Guogong's side has not moved, as if the letterhead stone has sunk into the sea.

On weekdays, Chu Shaoyuan would not feel how suspicious Ning Guogong's behavior was, but this time it had to be suspicious.

But fortunately, although Ning Guogong has always been a little unguardable in doing things, one thing is certain, Ning Guogong will not really step on the soles of his feet, so Ning Guogong would rather be next to this infamy than do this.

Chu Shaoyuan said indifferently: "As soon as the food arrives, you can let the soldiers return to their positions." ”

Xia Mingche was a little worried: "Ning Guogong is not a good talker, the soldiers have been assigned to him, how can he be willing to spit it out?"

Chu Shaoyuan had a smile in his eyes and glanced at Xia Mingche: "That's why we have to speed up the harvesting of iron ore, when the manpower is not enough, it is natural to use the soldiers, and it is always like this at the beginning." ”

Things are linked one by one, if he is Ning Guogong, I am afraid that he will also be angry.

But these things are not for them to think about.

……

After Chanyi waited for Chu Shaoyuan and Xia Mingche to go to the study, she went to change into refreshing regular clothes, and then got up and went to the backyard.

As soon as he sat down under the stone bench, he took a sip of herbal tea, and before he could ask Xiao Qing and Yan Dai if they had any fun in the backyard, they saw Xiaolan hurriedly enter the courtyard.

"Princess, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Wu have come to visit. ”

Chanyi frowned, thinking that if she got rid of the two businessmen, she would be able to stop talking to Xiao Qing, but she didn't expect that two businessmen walked on the front foot, and two official wives came on the back foot.

This time she ruined all her thoughts about hiding, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy on her face, but she couldn't lose her temper with her subordinates for no reason, so she had to take a deep breath and calm down the anger in her heart.

Then he commanded in a deep voice: "You tell them to wait, and I will go and change my clothes." ”

Xiao Qing didn't expect Chanyi, as a princess, to entertain guests from morning to night, and her mood of talking to Chanyi for a while was also diluted, and she was afraid that she alone was not Mrs. Ma's opponent, so she hurriedly said, "I'll go with you." ”

Chanyi thought that Xiao Qing and Mrs. Ma didn't deal with each other, and shook her head: "There are people who Sister Qing doesn't like, or I'll go to socialize alone, you and Dai'er are in the yard to escape the heat, and it is estimated that you will be busy these days." ”

After all, it was a big deal for her, although she didn't invite any of them, but these ladies of the family were all well-informed, where was someone who was willing to lag behind and others? Naturally, they came to congratulate her one after another, she didn't want to make a big deal, but she couldn't resist the eagerness of the people below.

She couldn't help but think, she didn't notify these people, they all stepped forward one by one, if she did, what would it be?

Thinking like this, he changed into the clothes of the guests and went to the flower hall.

Although Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ma came together, Mrs. Ma was obviously bigger than Mrs. Wu, not only sat in the position closest to Chanyi, but also said that two of the three sentences were said by Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Wu seemed to be just here to be a foil.

Chanyi felt a little strange, Mrs. Wu was not that kind of stingy person, why did she come to Chuannan and suddenly became so ungenerous, and she had to hesitate for a long time to even say something.

She couldn't help but smile and asked Mrs. Wu: "Is everything okay at Mrs. Wu's house?" I came to southern Sichuan in a hurry, and I didn't go to tell Mrs. Wu, I remember that Mrs. Wu's house has a banquet, and I don't know how to do it." ”

Mrs. Wu smiled reluctantly and said: "Princess Lao is worried, everything is fine, the banquet is also well organized, the troupe invited Meiyun Club from Yunfu City, Du Sanniang, who plays Hua Dan, plays very well, next time the princess holds a meeting, you must invite this Du Sanniang to sing for a while." ”

Seeing Mrs. Wu's reluctant smile, Chanyi was surprised in her heart, but said quietly: "Mrs. Wu also said that next time, seeing that this time she is going to be next to her eyelids, since Du Sanniang is dressed well, then take advantage of me and Lu, and invite everyone to be lively together." ”

Although Chanyi herself didn't want to make it too big, but in recent days, there have been guests on the left and right, and she vaguely understands in her heart that this birthday is afraid that it will not be low-key, so she simply doesn't hide it, and simply invites the troupe to be lively.

If Mrs. Wu was usual, she would definitely take care of this matter, but this time she was a little hesitant: "If the princess likes it, I will let the family go and invite it, it is estimated that they have not left yet, and they are still in western Sichuan." ”

Chanyi smiled: "Look at the aftertaste on Mrs. Wu's face, is it really so good?"

Mrs. Wu came back to her senses all of a sudden, and confessed again and again, "Princess, look at me, it's really ......."

Chanyi didn't blame Mrs. Wu for anything, just smiled and said to deal with Mrs. Ma on the side: "The longan forest that Mrs. Ma sent last time was really good, when I passed by before, I thought that this was such a rich family, and instead of cultivating the fields, but planted a longan tree, now look at only the Ma family has such courage, I thought, when the fruit is ripe, I will definitely buy some to taste, now it is good, it saves a circle of effort." ”

Although it was a compliment, Mrs. Ma's vest was cold, this forest was indeed clean, otherwise she would not dare to give it to Princess An like this, but what was the meaning in Princess An's tone?

Could it be that she noticed something wrong?

The more Mrs. Ma thought about it, the more cold she felt, and her words frequently wandered.

PS: Happy National Day, everyone!
