Chapter 144: Gift-giving

Quanzhou, Moon Island. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Under the mountain peak north of Moon Island, in the newly built Wang family's mansion, Mrs. Xie once again took out the letter she had received more than a month ago and sent back from the north by her little granddaughter.

Mrs. Xie looked at the letter in front of her and fell into deep thought. It is not impossible to give up the fame and fortune of discovering new grain varieties to Li Yuanche. The grain seed was obtained by light and unintentional, and it had little to do with the Wang family. Besides, the husband and wife are one, although the two of them only have a marriage contract and have not married, but thinking of the sign obtained in the Eagle Temple, Mrs. Xie is naturally relieved.

It's just that the candidate for escorting grain to the north into Liaodong, Mrs. Xie is really a little hesitant. Gently wrote in the letter that the Tsukishima side would transport the seeds of corn and potatoes by sea to Jiaozhou in Liaodong before Chinese New Year's Eve anyway. Grain is a matter of great importance, affecting the establishment of the Li dynasty, and affecting the survival rations of the common people in the world.

Who should be escorted? Mrs. Xie hesitated in her heart. This person must be loyal, familiar with the seas, and able to lead troops into battle. Although there is no inland chaos at sea today, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, and you must be prepared for everything.

Her two sons are the most suitable candidates, Mrs. Xie thought of her son, and shook her head again for a moment, her two sons were still circling around Jiangnan at this time, but there was no way to leave for a while.

And the eldest grandson Zelei, although he has been in Quanzhou for a few years, is also familiar with the situation at sea, but he has always been dealing with the general affairs of maritime trade, and without the slightest experience in leading troops to fight, I am afraid it will not work.

As for Zefeng, you don't have to think about it. Since Chinese New Year's Eve, he and the two siblings bit their ears from time to time, and when they returned to Yuedao, her grandson got into Luzhuang and studied it with his head bored. No, he just tinkered with a crossbow at the beginning of the year, and recently he took the new drawings he gave before going to Beijing, and he didn't know what he was studying, and even his newlywed wife Yin was left out in the cold.

The third grandson, Zeren, is a good leader in battle, but he has never killed the enemy on land and has no experience in naval warfare. Thinking of Zeren's appearance of seasickness when the child sailed on the sea for the first time, Mrs. Xie also shook her head. When the naval battle comes, can the guards still count on a seasick general?

When Mrs. Xie was hesitating, Mama Zhou opened the curtain and walked in.

"Mrs. Tai," Mama Zhou saluted, got up and poured hot tea for her master. "The young island master of that desert island is here again."

Oh? Mrs. Xie had just taken the hand from the teacup and paused. This kid from the Yang family has been very attentive, and since he came to the island for more than two months, he has come to visit his old woman several times.

"Invite him in." Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup, put it to her lips, and took a sip.

What kind of idea did Yang Xu have in his heart, Mrs. Xie, who is old and sophisticated, knew it at the beginning, but she just wanted to inquire about her whereabouts and please herself by the way.

Yang Xu, this kid, gave birth to a good look! is obviously born as a bandit, but he looks like a son of a family who is as gentle as jade, with an extremely handsome face, as if he is meticulously crafted, and he can't find the slightest flaw. Just this one face can compare the vast majority of women in the world.

It's a pity! Mrs. Xie thought of the scene when her granddaughter was determined to go north when malaria broke out in northern Xinjiang, and sighed in her heart. I'm afraid that King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart!

Not to mention that his granddaughter already has a marriage contract with the Li family, even if she doesn't, she already has the shadow of Li Yuanche in her heart, where can she let go of other men. Although this Yang Xu is born well, I am afraid that he will have to pay for it with tenderness!

It's just that every time Yang Xu, this kid comes, although he is courteous and careless to please his grandmother, and quietly asks about his whereabouts, he never asks for marriage directly, and he is not good at explaining it.

That's it, that's it, let them solve the affairs of the young people themselves. Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie smiled and put down the teacup.

"What did Mrs. Tai think of and smile so happily?" Yang Xu, who had just entered the house, saw Mrs. Xie with a smile on her face.

"With such a handsome offspring as you to accompany my old woman, I naturally laughed happily." Mrs. Xie stopped Yang Xu's salute with a smile and beckoned him to sit beside him.

"Mrs., I haven't seen you for a few days, but your spirit is much better." After this period of getting along, the old and young are quite familiar. Yang Xu walked to Mrs. Xie with a big grin and sat down.

"With you young people by my side, my old woman's spirit will naturally be better." Mrs. Xie quietly picked up the teacup and glanced at Yang Xu thoughtfully, "Why do you have time to come to see my old woman today?" ”

"Isn't it almost the end of the year?" Yang Xu didn't care, and the corners of his mouth rose. A handsome face full of smiles, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. "I'm here to give Miss Six a New Year's gift."

"The young island master is too polite, the first few times you sent something, it already cost you a lot." Mrs. Xie said with a smile. The New Year's gift is fake, I'm afraid I'm here to find out the whereabouts of the light again.

"It's not polite, it's as it should be." Yang Xu was upright and nodded and saluted. "This life of mine was saved by Miss Six, so naturally I should do my best to repay her. What's a little New Year's gift? ”

"The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, let alone the grace of saving life? You say, that's the reason, right? Mrs. Tai. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Xie smiled and nodded, her mind moving. "You're a good sensible boy." Since this kid took the initiative to send it to the door, it might as well be him.

"It's just that Qing Qing is not on Moon Island at this time, so it's better to trouble the young island master to personally deliver these gifts to Qing Qing." Mrs. Xie said with a smile. This grain seed can naturally be sent to Liaodong with gifts.

Mrs. Xie put down the teacup and turned her head to look at Yang Xu. Since this kid wants to see Qingqing so much, he is naturally not afraid that he will not agree.

This Yang Xu is indeed the most suitable person to transport grain to the north. First, he devoted himself to gentleness, knowing that these grains were gently requested, and he would definitely go all out and would not shirk; Second, this person was born on a desert island, grew up in the sea, is familiar with the sea area, is proficient in naval warfare, and is escorted by him, even if he encounters any accidents at sea, he will be foolproof.

"I don't know Miss Six, where is she now?" Can you finally hear from that woman? Yang Xu felt a burst of excitement in his heart.

"It's in Jiaozhou, Liaodong." Mrs. Xie didn't sell Guan Zi either, she told Yang Xu everything mentioned in her little granddaughter's letter, "I don't know if the young island master is willing to help this favor and send these grains to Jiaozhou?" ”

"Yang will live up to the trust!" Yang Xu stood up and saluted cautiously. It turned out that she was in Liaodong, no wonder she never got news of her.

Liaodong? Isn't that the territory that the brave and famous general Li Yuanche in Northern Xinjiang just laid down? That woman desperately needs so much food, isn't it?

Yang Xu was shocked in his heart and glanced up at Mrs. Xie. However, Mrs. Xie at the top still had an old god expression, smiling silently.

It's just that, even if you appear late, you may not be able to fight. Yang Xu told himself in his heart, no matter what, let's see her first.

Thinking that after only half a month, he would be able to see that indifferent woman again, Yang Xu's eyes were exceptionally bright. (To be continued.) )
