Yan Mingyu was stunned.

Yan Ziqi shouted, "Mingyu." ”

Yan Mingyu fell into deep thought, came back to his senses for a moment, and said in a daze: "Ziqi, maybe the Great Zhou is going to change the sky......

"Changing the sky? Why does it change? ”

Yan Mingyu slowly turned around Yan Ziqi, and said with a solemn face: "The news that the emperor is critically ill has come out, the people are worried, and the officials in Los Angeles are even more people with their tails between their legs. ”

"So, the frontier war is out of control?" Swallow Seven asked rhetorically.

"How? Who cares? Yan Mingyu asked rhetorically: "The undercurrent is floating above the court, the emperor is critically ill and obsessed with pills, the prince is young and weak, the queen mother does not ask about the government, Wang Jingzhong was able to increase the official and enter the knighthood because of his daughter Concubine Li's childbirth, and now he is in a high position, I wish General Chu died on the battlefield, how can he lend a helping hand?" ”

Yan Mingyu's words made Yan Ziqi sober, aware of the situation in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but redden, he was one of his clansmen, and he was saved by Chu Wei many years ago, and he has been unable to repay him. Now Chu is in difficulty, he has no power to help, and his own people are also facing a crisis, he has no choice, he helplessly grabs his head with both hands, and is annoyed that he is incompetent.

At this time, Yan Mingyu spoke again: "Moreover, Wang Jingzhong is still Cheng Wentao's uncle. ”

Hearing this, Yanzi was stunned, and looked up at Yan Mingyu in shock, unable to say a word.

Yan Mingyu looked blankly, looking in the direction of the frontier, how chaotic and urgent it should be, is it that everyone seems to protect the soil under their feet, the people behind them, but they still don't know, no matter how desperately they protect, the final result is either killed or starved to death.

Yan Mingyu's eyes were slightly red, Chu Wei, how could she bear to let Chu Wei be killed after running out of ammunition, she couldn't bear it, suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and in an instant she looked at Yan Ziqi and said, "No one cares, I'll take care of it." ”

Yan Ziqi was shocked by Yan Mingyu's determination and firmness, and asked after a while, "How to care?" ”

Yan Mingyu said: "Buy grain and grass." ”

"Who buys it?"

"I'll buy it."

Swallow Seven asked, "How much can you buy?" ”

"How much can you buy." Yan Mingyu said resolutely.

Yan Ziqi exclaimed, "You're going bankrupt." Then he thought of the practical question: "And even if you go bankrupt, you may not be able to solve the food problem of the frontier army, do you know, how much grain and grass is needed to help an army?" And escorting grain and grass requires manpower and financial resources, not to mention, from Los Angeles to the frontier, as fast as one and a half months, slow as more than three months, moreover, all the grain and grass in the transportation process is consumed by the transporter, and there is not much left in the frontier! ”

Yan Mingyu didn't seem to hear Yan Ziqi's words, she said in a low voice: "Ziqi, I'm not afraid of going bankrupt." I want to let him live and let him live brightly, instead of living in danger and being struggling to move forward by the enemy. ”

"Sister Mingyu." Green Ye, who had been shocked, heard Yan Mingyu's eyes turn red instantly.

Yan Ziqi was completely shaken, and at this moment he realized how small the longing he was hiding in his heart. finally understood that Chu Wei and Mingyu were a natural pair, regardless of identity, family background, just temperament and charm, it was such a perfect fit, he didn't regret losing to Chu Wei.

"Ziqi." Yan Mingyu was already upright and shouted.

Yan Ziqi looked at Yan Mingyu.

Yan Mingyu asked: "If you are alone or with one or two strong people, how many days will you be able to reach Yuzhou at the earliest?" "Yuzhou is the closest place to the frontier.

"Non-stop ......" swallow seven ways.

Yan Mingyu grabbed the white and said: "You don't have to stop working, you have to sleep for at least two hours every day to conserve your strength, because after arriving in Yuzhou, you still have something to do." ”

"Do what?"

Yan Mingyu turned his head to look at Yan Ziqi and said, "Buy grain and grass." ”

Yan Ziqi looked at Yan Mingyu puzzled, and instantly understood what Yan Mingyu meant. Yan Mingyu didn't want to buy grain and grass in Los Angeles and send it over, but to buy grain and grass in Yuzhou and send it over.

In addition to spending two months to transport grain and grass from Los Angeles to the frontier, the transporters will also consume most of the grain and grass.

From Los Angeles to the state with a silver ticket, it takes about ten days, and then it only takes three or four days to transport grain and grass from Yuzhou to the frontier.

In contrast, in addition to saving about three times the time, the manpower, material resources, grain and grass consumption, financial resources, and risks are the lowest.

It's a great way to do it! Yan Ziqi's face flushed with excitement: "Mingyu ......"

Yan Mingyu was still thinking about it and asked, "Can General Chu's side hold out for fifteen days?" ”

"Mingyu, no, not fifteen days, I can hurry up, and it will be done in twelve days." Yan Ziqi said: "General Chu can do it, when they find that the grain and grass are not enough and the supply cannot come, they will reduce the use of grain and grass and prolong the waiting time for assistance." Fifteen is enough. ”

"That's good." Yan Mingyu's face was calm, and he said while thinking: "Ziqi, you will only stay in the state for one day at most." It is best to reach a grain and grass transaction in half a day, and in the state, don't be afraid to spend money, don't bargain, ask more workers to carry and escort, and be sure to send the grain and grass safely to the frontier. ”

"Okay, that's fine." Swallow Seven Paths.

"As soon as you arrive at the frontier, ask General Chu to give you a team of men and horses to meet the next wave of grain and grass." Yan Mingyu said.

"The next wave of grain and grass?"

"Yes, the frontier is not rich. The people's food and grass are limited, and the officials' stockpiles will startle the snakes when they move. Therefore, in addition to the nearest Yuzhou, I will let people from Liangyin, Danyang, Hongcheng, and Bianzhou one after another...... Buy food and grass from near and far, and follow you. Yan Mingyu said.

Hearing this, Yan Ziqi looked at Yan Mingyu in amazement, he always thought that Yan Mingyu only understood beauty and women's minds, but he never thought that her intelligence was all-round. Immediately, he said, "Okay, good." ”

"Also, you have to let the soldiers know that the grain and grass are coming."

"This must be."

"And." Yan Mingyu was silent: "Tell General Chu that I will wait for him in Los Angeles." ”

Yanzi's eyes darkened, and he said, "Don't worry, I'll tell him." ”

"Hmm."

"Then you're not going with me?" Swallow Seven asked.

Yan Mingyu said: "Who will arrange the follow-up when I go?" ”

"But it's dangerous for you to be here alone."

"How can it be dangerous? They are preoccupied with national affairs, who cares if I go to the money bank to get more silver? ”

Swallow Seven didn't deny it.

Next, Yan Mingyu asked Yan Ziqi to rest for half a day, and then called two soldiers, these two soldiers were deliberately left by Chu Wei in order to protect Yan Mingyu. Now Yan Mingyu called the two of them and asked one of them to bring a silver ticket and enough silver, carry some dry food, and walk with Yan Ziqi.

The two soldiers were extremely loyal, and they also obeyed Yan Mingyu's words, so they asked one of them to choose a horse with Yanzi Qi that night, and rushed to the frontier overnight.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Yan Mingyu thought that now that the court is in turmoil, everyone is in danger, she and Yan Ziqi, as businessmen, are looked down upon by these people, the more they look down on her, the more beneficial it is to her and Yan Ziqi, and the more they can help Chu Wei.

Therefore, when Yan Mingyu mentioned the silver again the next day, no one doubted it.

Then Yan Mingyu ordered another soldier to find nearly ten colleagues with trustworthy character and strong physique, and then led a dart team by himself. The horses were quickly whipped to Liangyin, Danyang, Hongcheng, Bianzhou and other places, and a large number of grain and grass were purchased, but they were escorted by the dart bureau in the form of darts and sent to the frontier.

The dart game is a very credible organization in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even more credible than his side, so Yan Mingyu is very relieved. Moreover, when those colleagues in the dart bureau and soldiers learned that Yan Mingyu bought grain and grass and sent it to the frontier, they were even more enthusiastic, and they patted their chests and promised that they would never live up to the trust of the public.

It's just that when the sixth wave of teams left Los Angeles, Yan Mingyu's family was almost hollowed out.

Luye looked at Yan Mingyu with a sad face and said, "Sister Mingyu, did you really sell all the Yan makeup in Changning and Ganyang?" ”

Yan Mingyu nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then why do you want to sell it here in L.A.? Why do you and Swallow Seven's house have to be sold? Where do we live and what do we do for a living? Luye asked aggrievedly, she and Sister Mingyu have been busy these days, but they are all busy with the silver out, the silver out, a lot of silver, that is the hard-earned silver of Sister Mingyu alone.

It's not enough to pay the money, and now she has to sell all the houses and storefronts, and she is very distressed.

"Sister Mingyu." Green Leaf said again.

Yan Mingyu put down the abacus, looked at the green leaves, and said without much explanation: "The Yan makeup in Los Angeles is also sold, but the Yan makeup will not disappear, I will continue to use the Yan makeup to make money in the form of renting, and after this while, I have a way to redeem all the Yan makeup." ”

"But ......"

"Green leaves, people, are the most important." Yan Mingyu said.

Green Leaf was silent for a moment, Sister Mingyu was right.

After Yan Mingyu sold everything she could sell, she finally sent the tenth wave away, and she had nothing left except for the rented Yan makeup. However, she was at ease.

This is the most money-saving, the most trouble-saving, the most time-saving, the most food-saving, and the least noticeable way she can think of.

Although she didn't know how long Chu Wei could last there, she did everything she could, just waiting for him to come back.

"Sister Mingyu." Green Leaf shouted.

At this time, Yan Mingyu was standing on the street, and her movements were a little big recently, which made people confused.

Coupled with General Chu's frontline fighting, everyone's gossip about her paused slightly, and their eyes were all inquiring.

"Let's go, go back to Yan makeup." Yan Mingyu said.

"Hmm."

As soon as Yan Mingyu and Lu Ye left, a group of passers-by whispered and discussed.

"There's something wrong with Yan Makeup lately, and the people in the whole Yan Makeup feel so strange."

"I feel the same."

"I heard that the Yan makeup over there in Changning has been sold."

"Yes, yes, yes, I also heard that Miss Yan is also cheap, and many of my relatives have sold it."

"Not only Changning, but also Yan makeup in other regions have been sold. It's sold in a hurry, such a good store, that good location, I heard that the price didn't take Qiao at all. said that it was for sale, and after it was sold, Miss Yan sold all of them cheaply. ”

"Ah, what's going on? What's going on? ”

"yes, what's going on? Watching the jade girl send away two or three people every day, what is this for? ”

"Could it be that the business has been too bad recently to continue, so I'm ready to make enough money to quit?"

"It may be that you want to marry into the General's Mansion, and it is definitely better to be the general's wife than to be the boss of Yan Makeup."

"Who knows."

“……”

In the case that others can't see through it, Yan Mingyu began to reduce staff in Yan Makeup, and now several Yan makeup shops have been closed, resulting in too many people, and unnecessary male and female workers have to be dismissed.

Of course, Yan Mingyu paid severance pay to all those who left very humanely.

"Thank you for your help these days, but now that Yan Makeup is facing difficulties, you also have to survive, and Yan Makeup is not as good as before, it can solve your survival problems, and Yan Makeup is difficult to recover in the short term. So, fend for yourselves first. If there is a chance in the future, the swallow makeup is back up, and you are still willing to come, then I am grateful. ”

The words almost brought the male and female workers to tears, mainly because Yan Mingyu not only did not owe them wages, but also gave them severance pay, which is a good boss who can't be found with a lantern.

However, they had to go in order to survive. As soon as they left, Yan Makeup quieted down again, and the influence of gossip has not passed, and the business in the store is average, but fortunately, this small business is enough to maintain the food and clothing of Yan Mingyu, Luye, Bandong and others.

Seeing this, Lu Ye felt uncomfortable and said: "Sister Mingyu, I still have some silver saved for myself, if you need it, I will give it to you." ”

Yan Mingyu smiled: "I don't know how much silver you have, don't worry, it will get better and better next." ”

"Well, Sister Mingyu, I believe you." Green Leaf Road.

Yan Mingyu smiled and didn't speak again, then read a book, went to Baihuayuan to get busy, occasionally listened to the gossip about the court, and the gossip about the frontier, and then analyzed it by himself.

In this way, a month has passed, except for the delivery of grain and grass from Yanzi in seven simple words, everything is fine, there is no more word, but the words "everything is fine" are enough.

On this day, Lu Ye came back from the street, ran to Yan Mingyu's side and said, "Sister Mingyu, everyone seems to be spreading that this time the Hu people are very powerful, and General Chu has been defeated." ”

Yan Mingyu stood up abruptly and asked sharply, "Who passed it on?" ”

Lu Ye was taken aback by Yan Mingyu and stammered, "Everyone is spreading this." Sister Mingyu, what's wrong with you? ”

Yan Mingyu was silent and said, "Got it, you go out." ”

"Hmm."

On the same day, Yan Mingyu went out and seemed to have heard that this battle was a gathering of forces accumulated by the Hu people and other countries for several years, so General Chu would not return for such a long time.

At the same time, the people were also worried, and they prayed that General Chu would be able to triumph again.

But what is the use of prayer? What's the use of worrying? Yan Mingyu suddenly felt calm. It has truly done its best to obey the fate of God. So, as usual, she reads, cooks, eats, drinks, and sleeps.

Until one night, there was a sudden thunderstorm and a torrential rain, and the windows crackled, and she was awakened by a nightmare, in which Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Molan, Cheng Qinlan, and Mrs. Wang pointed their swords at her, and she also watched Chu Wei die on the battlefield.

After waking up, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she stabilized her mood for a long time before she came back to her senses, she got up and lit the lamp, went to close the window, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Green leaves." She shouted.

"Green leaves." She shouted again, stepped forward to remove the deadbolt, and just as she opened the door, a figure pounced.

The smell of blood, the smell of earth, the smell of rust, the cold touch...... She didn't see people clearly, but her voice was involuntarily hoarse: "Chu Wei? ”

"Yes, I'm Chu Wei, Mingyu, I'm back." Chu Wei's voice was dry and hoarse, as if it was caused by running around for a long time and not sleeping at night, he hugged Yan Mingyu tightly with both arms, and Yan Mingyu also hugged him tightly.

After hugging her for a long time, he let go of her and looked at her, touching her face, his eyes full of longing and love.

Yan Mingyu looked at him quietly, he was still wearing armor, there were blood stains on his body, there was sludge, and his face was dusty, but he was an indescribable handsome spirit, the man she loved should be like this, no matter how embarrassing the situation was, he was so downright, upright, and powerful, he was a man!

"Sister Mingyu." Lu Ye had just woken up from the thunder, and wanted to take a look at the situation on Yan Mingyu's side, but he didn't expect to see General Chu as soon as he came, and his eyes immediately widened: "General Chu!" ”

Yan Mingyu turned his head to look at her and said, "Miaoqing, go and boil a bucket of hot water, it's also troublesome to work hard for half a winter, go to Yan Ziqi and bring a set of new clothes that Yan Ziqi didn't wear, and you also work hard to prepare some food." ”

After Luye was surprised, he hurriedly responded excitedly: "Okay, okay, Sister Mingyu, I'll go now, I'll call Bandong again and help me." ”

"Okay." Yan Mingyu pulled Chu Wei into the room, closed the door and asked, "Are you injured?" How did you get back? Are you alone? Is Swallow Seven good? ”

Yan Mingyu asked a long list of questions.

Chu Wei didn't answer, just looked at her with a smile.

Yan Mingyu knew from his smile that he was fine now, he came back from winning the battle, and Yan Ziqi was fine. So she laughed too.

This smile dispelled the long-standing apprehensive emotions between the two, and Chu Wei held her hand: "Mingyu, thank you, because of your grain and grass, tens of thousands of troops have been able to hold on." ”

Yan Mingyu said: "You're welcome, I lent it to you, and you have to pay me back in the future." ”

Chu Wei's eyes were full of smiles, he looked at Yan Mingyu, couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, and said, "Okay, pay you back, pay you back, I'll give you too." ”

Yan Mingyu smiled, and after feeling the tangible temperature on his hand, he was grateful, grateful to God, he was alive.

After a while, hot water and clean clothes arrived.

After Chu Wei took a bath, he changed into new clothes and came out, Yan Mingyu saw the hideous wound on his neck at a glance, and immediately took the medicine bottle and stepped forward to rub the medicine for him.

Chu Wei held her hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's a small injury, it's not in the way." ”

Presumably he had more serious injuries on his body than this, Yan Mingyu had no choice but to smile and say, "I'll wipe your hair." ”

"Okay."

When Yan Mingyu was wiping his hair, his clothes were slightly wet, clinging to his body, and she saw that the criss-crossing knife wounds on his body were scarred, and she felt pain in her heart and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Chu Wei was stunned for a moment, then reflected and said, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Yan Mingyu didn't answer.

"Sister Mingyu, the meal is ready." At this time, Green Leaf shouted outside.

Yan Mingyu opened the door, took the meal and let the green leaves go to sleep.

Seeing General Chu coming back, Luye was very happy in his heart and left happily.

After Yan Mingyu put the light meal on the table, he said, "You eat first, and then we will talk after eating." ”

"Are you hungry?" Chu Wei asked.

Yan Mingyu shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I'll watch you eat." ”

"Hmm." Chu Wei sat in front of Yan Mingyu, ate the food after a while, and took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, pour out the hot water, and throw a tattered armor outside.

A bed.

A bed.

1 bed......

Yan Mingyu looked at Chu Wei, Chu Wei looked at Yan Mingyu, Yan Mingyu was too excited, and at this moment he realized that this was the Great Zhou, a lonely man and a widow......

Chu Wei took a step forward, took Yan Mingyu's hand, walked to the bed and said, "In a few days, we will make up for the family affairs." ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Mingyu asked.

Chu Wei said: "Share the bed first." ”

Yan Mingyu: "......"

Chu Wei didn't treat Yan Mingyu's bed as an outsider's bed, pulled Yan Mingyu to sit on the bed, and said, "You sleep inside, I sleep outside." ”

Yan Mingyu was slightly stunned and said, "Okay." Then he slowly sat down on the inside of the bed.

Chu Wei blew out the lamp, took off his shoes, slept outside, lay down and covered Yan Mingyu with a quilt first, and then walked on his own.

The room was quiet for a long time.

Chu Weicai said: "Mingyu." ”

Yan Mingyu: "Hmm. ”

"If it weren't for you, none of us would have come back." Chu Weidao felt infinite gratitude and infinite love in his heart, as well as admiration. She amazed him again and again with her intelligence.

Yan Mingyu was silent.

Chu Wei said: "I owe you a life." ”

Yan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled in his heart, he is really a serious person, the grace of dripping water should be a model of reciprocation by springs, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I remember, you owe me money, you still owe me my life, remember to pay it back." ”

Suddenly, Chu Wei turned around and hugged Yan Mingyu into his arms, his movements were so fast that he scared her lightly, and he said seriously: "Mingyu, I am the emperor, are you good as the queen?" ”

He didn't say that he would make her the queen, but, no matter which way he said it, his sentence "I will be the emperor" really made Yan Mingyu stunned, but after a moment, she looked up at Chu Wei, in the dark, she couldn't see Chu Wei's expression clearly, but she saw Chu Wei's eyes were unusually bright, she thought about this battle, he had seen that the emperor was no longer the emperor of the year, and the Great Zhou was not the Great Zhou of the year, since the people are the foundation of the country, then no matter who it is, you can be the emperor. Since anyone can be an emperor, why not let yourself who cares about the common people be a generation of emperors?

"Okay." Yan Mingyu said heavily. 166 Reading Network
