Chapter 224: The Abominable Border Army (1st Update)
"How can such a thing happen?" After hearing Sanniang's words, Zhao said suspiciously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sanniang nodded: "It's true, if you don't believe it, you can let people take a look." ”
Wang Wenxu asked her, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Sanniang didn't explain carefully, because she was originally fooling, she sold a pass: "Father don't ask me what to do, in short, I can get food." ”
Zhao saw that her words were convincing, and he really believed it, and smiled: "If this is the case, then it is a crisis in the house." ”
Wang Wenxu frowned: "Qi Yao, you must not risk your life for this matter, if you are not sure, forget it." ”
"No, I'm very sure about this, and I ask my father to give me a day, and the food will be delivered to you at this hour tomorrow."
Zhao felt that he was saved, and hurriedly said: "That's okay, you go and do it quickly, and your mother will reward you if you do it." ”
Sanniang smiled obediently: "Qi Yao doesn't want to be rewarded, just ask my mother not to be angry with Qi Yao anymore, okay?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Shi was stunned, and then said after seeing her serious face: "What stupid thing are you talking about?" You little girl, what do I have to worry about. ”
Regardless of whether what Zhao said was in his heart or not, now that he had pierced this layer of window paper, Zhao could be kinder to her.
After receiving the order, Sanniang asked Mama Shen to find someone to dig the hole in the backyard and do enough drama. When the time comes, the food will arrive in the house, and the hole is still so big, I can't say anything.
After some tossing, the grain was delivered to Zhao as promised.
According to what Mama Shen said, Sanniang gave about ten days' amount, and after ten days, she waited for Zhao to beg her.
Those border troops are really hateful, since they knew that the Wang family had run out of food, they let people come in twice a day to have a look, just to know if the people in the palace were dead.
When Zhao saw them, he was angry, and he didn't want to offend, so he treated them as nothing.
Of course, food is not the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing now is how to survive this winter.
Don't worry about cooking rice and boiling water, the firewood pushed outside the kitchen is enough for a few months, but the charcoal fire for heating is a little insufficient, and the mattress is also used in previous years, and it is a little moist after a long time.
It's hard, it's hard, but it's not life-threatening, Sanniang thinks about it, and put up with it.
A few days later, snow fell in the capital, piled up on the ground several feet high, and when you stepped on it, you would cut off half of your legs. As it was back then, the snow continued from this day, and the people who were clearing the snow in the courtyard stiffened in a moment, and there was no efficiency at all.
It was warmer in the house, and the officers and soldiers guarding outside probably had to bear it.
The Zhao family gloated, thinking that it was all retribution, let them do evil, and now God will torture them.
She thought that those people were ordered to guard the palace, so they would stand outside honestly and underestimate the cheekiness of those people.
It had only been snowing for a day, and the officers and soldiers outside knocked on the door of the Wang's mansion, as if they were robbing.
The little guy hurried to open the door, but a group of people rushed in, startling the people in the house.
It turned out that these people couldn't stand it outside, so they swarmed into the palace, and they didn't pay attention to etiquette, and went directly to Chongde Hall to sit, and let the fire keep warm, and let the subordinates pour tea and cook, just like an uncle.
The subordinates hurriedly came to report, but Zhao was angry and scolded bitterly: "Are these people beasts? So there is no etiquette. ”
Wang Wenxu persuaded her: "It's all a bunch of rough men, who still talks about this?" Just turn a blind eye. ”
Zhao asked Wang Wenxu to persuade him to come down, so he could only sit in his own room and sulk.
It's just that these people have intensified, and the Zhao family originally thought that they would come in and sit and rest, and leave within a day, but who knew that they had not left when they arrived, and they actually asked someone to prepare a room for them.
The subordinates couldn't be the master, so they didn't respond, but who wanted to be beaten by the leader.
The beaten little guy covered his face and came to complain in front of Zhao, and Zhao was even more angry and gritted his teeth: "Is there any royal law here?" ”
Wang Wenxu looked at the little guy and sighed, in order to calm the matter, he still chose to endure: "If they want to live, prepare a room for them, the Wang family is in turmoil now, and there is no shortage of one or two rooms." ”
"Master......" Zhao saw that Wang Wenxu had compromised so easily, and he was a little unwilling.
Wang Wenxu said: "I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you that for the sake of today's plan, we can only make concessions everywhere, lest they take the handle and condemn us." ”
Zhao frowned, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed much more important to protect the palace than those few rooms and a few mattresses.
She asked her servants to prepare the house, and made the beds for the gang, even to the point of taking care of food and drink.
It's a pity that there are really no expensive ingredients in the palace, and those people also know that the Wang family is short of food, and they don't have much choice if the food is not good.
There were a total of 12 people living in the palace, and they sat in Chongde Hall for a hundred days drinking tea and chatting, but they did not neglect the control of the Wang family. Every half an hour, two people were kept watch at the front door and back door of the palace, and they still didn't give the Wang family a chance to exploit loopholes.
Originally, the grain that Sanniang gave to the Zhao family could last for ten days, plus these twelve big men, it was gone in just seven days.
Zhao came to find Sanniang early in the morning, his face was depressed, and he complained to Sanniang when he came: "Those people are really excessive, when our Wang family is an inn restaurant?" The inn restaurant also accepts accommodation money, and they eat and drink for nothing, and they still look like cannibalism......"
Sanniang nodded again and again, not only agreeing with Zhao's statement, but also following Zhao's to slander those people.
Seeing that Sanniang was also indignant, Zhao suddenly felt close, and the two talked like this for a long time.
After a while, Zhao remembered his intentions and mentioned the matter of food.
Sanniang knew that there was not enough food in the house, but she still had to knowingly ask: "Ah? Is there any? ”
Zhao snorted: "There are more than a dozen people, and the amount of food is not small, how can it be?" ”
Sanniang didn't respond on the spot this time, but made a look of embarrassment: "Last time, I asked people to run out to buy grain, but who thought that there were very few people selling grain in Beijing, and it took several to find it." Now that it's snowing heavily, I'm afraid it's even more difficult. ”
"If it really doesn't work, I'll find someone to go......" Zhao saw that she was embarrassed, so he thought that there was a hole that could be drilled out anyway, and she would send someone to do the same.
Sanniang shook her head again and again: "No, no, the person my mother is looking for doesn't know where to sell food, so I don't say anything about running in vain, and I still delay things." ”
Zhao was still a little confused: "Aren't there only a few companies that sell grain in the capital?" There is no such thing as not being found. ”
"My mother didn't know that now food is expensive, and the shops that used to sell food have increased their prices again and again, and they are too expensive. The people I send know where to buy cheap ones and can save a lot. ”
