The dim candlelight barely made it clear what was in the room, and a head was showing from a large kang, and the body was next to each other, wrapped in a large shabby quilt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the edge of the bed sat an old woman in a shabby jacket with her long gray hair pulled up at will, and she listened to the sound of footsteps and asked, "Little knife, who is here so late?" ”

Her hand groped for the front and slowly stood up, seeing this scene, Qi Mengxing's original excited mood instantly fell to the bottom, stepped forward to hold the old woman's rough and wrinkled hand, the old woman's eyes did not move in focus, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and her eyes did not blink, Qi Mengxing's nose was sour and almost fell into tears, held back the tears in her eyes, and said distressedly: "Grandma, I am Xing'er, your eyes are ......"

"Xing'er..."

The old woman clenched her hand excitedly at the first hearing of Mengxing's voice, and wept with joy, hearing her mention her eyes, and hurriedly trying to hide the fact that she already knew. She patted her hand with relief and pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing, it's normal for people to have bad eyes when they're old, don't worry, grandma is fine." ”

Yu Mengxing opened her mouth but was speechless, grandma didn't want her to worry, why should she make her uneasy, think about it or swallow the words in her mouth. The old woman had the heart to change the topic and smiled: "Today, the son of the Jiang City Lord got married, and the Jiang City Lord, who has always been slamming the door, actually invited us poor people to eat a flowing water banquet, hehe, this is an unprecedented thing, but it's a pity that you came back late~"

Hearing this, Qi Mengxing couldn't help but chuckle: "At this moment, Jiang Sifu is afraid that he can't bite me, hehe..."

The old woman wondered, "Why do you say that?" Have you offended him? ”

Qi Mengxing hesitated and hummed, "Sort of, this matter is a long story, I just returned to Liyang City, I heard that this year is a drought and flood, the people have no harvest, and now it is a harsh winter, the people are miserable, he Jiang Sifu, as the lord of a city, actually refuses to open a warehouse to release grain, for the rich is not benevolent."

By chance, I saved his stupid son, and I was going to take some money and leave, but he was delusional about letting me marry his stupid son, so I kept the plan.

It is my request to invite all the people of Liyang City to eat a flowing water seat, and I will run away after worshipping the hall today, and it is estimated that he will be angry to death at this time. ”

"Xing'er, you better leave at night, if Jiang Sifu sends someone to arrest you, it will be troublesome."

Hearing the words of the old woman, the old woman was very worried, and heard that she laughed without any sense of danger, she anxiously pushed her out of the house, and the old woman took the old woman's hand with a smile and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, I have my own way, they can't find me." ”

She glanced at the head on the kang, and then at the old woman, her eyes were full of reverence. Ten years ago, if it weren't for this old woman, I am afraid she would have frozen to death on that night of hunger and cold.

"Grandma, have you taken in so many orphans again?"

The old woman smiled lightly: "These children are really pitiful, my wife can save one of them." It's also thanks to your third brother, where can I afford to feed them. ”

Speaking of the third brother, Qi Mengxing couldn't help but think of someone, it stands to reason that this person shouldn't not appear when she comes back, she asked suspiciously: "Grandma, why didn't you see innocence?" ”

The old woman lamented, "He, he went with you when you left three years ago, and he never came back." Originally, he was silent, and when he left, he only said that he would come to you in a few years, let me tell you, and let you wait for him to come back. ”

Wait for him to come back? Qi Mengxing obviously didn't understand what this sentence meant, but she didn't delve into it, and it was even more cold at night, she helped the old woman to walk to the big kang and said, "Grandma, it's late, you can rest quickly." ”

The old woman, as if afraid that she was about to leave, grabbed her hand and asked, "What about you?" ”

She looked at the wide kang shop and smiled: "Of course, I huddled with my grandmother like when I was a child, but now that there are more people, it must be very warm." ”

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and she helped herself to the kang shop, she deliberately reserved the largest position beside her, and Meng Mengxing's heart was warm, and she took off her coat and lay down.

Luo Tianyu of the City Lord's Mansion was dragged by Jiang Sifu until late at night, and when he left, he told Jiang Sifu, "The land in the northwest is barren, and there have always been many droughts and floods, which can be described as a heart disease in the heart of the emperor of every dynasty."

It is also because this form has fueled the arrogance of those bandits, and it has intensified in recent years, although the emperor is far away, but this northwest leads to the North Ling Kingdom, and the west is adjacent to the Xilie Kingdom, and the northwest is a barrier to our Southern Chu State.

You are just a businessman, and you are grateful for the hospitality of the city lord of Jiang, so you can speculate about the current situation in vain, and hope that the city lord of Jiang will not think too much about him. ”

Jiang Sifu couldn't sleep peacefully after tossing and turning all night, he had to admit that what Luo Tianyu said was very reasonable, the question was what he, the city lord of Liyang City, should do to remedy it?

Finally survived until the red sun rose, he immediately ordered someone to invite Luo Tianyu to the dining room for breakfast, Luo Tianyu ate slowly, he waited on the chair like a pins and needles and felt is not hard, until Jiangnan handed over the pure white brocade, eternally served the tea, and then patiently waited for him to taste the tea, and quickly asked him how to do it at present.

As the lord of a city, he never knew that the people of the Fancheng Luo family could have so many rules for eating, and he could only think that the people of these big families were like this.

When leaving, Luo Tianyu left him a sentence again: "This year's drought and flood have not harvested the people, and now is the time of hunger and cold, if someone can help them tide over the difficulties at this time, the people must be grateful to Dade." There is a way that the people take food as the sky, and solve the problem of food and clothing, who wants to be cold and not at home with their wives and children, but they want to block the road and rob, I hope that the road back to Fancheng can be peaceful, and I have nothing to ask for. ”

Who is Luo Tianyu? He is not only talented, the future heir of the Luo family, the largest family in the world, according to reliable information, he has spread his business to the four countries, in the past ten years, the Luo family and the collateral relatives have mostly married the big families of the four countries and the imperial relatives, and even the emperors of the four countries want to win him over, such a person, who dares to offend him, Jiang Sifu can't let him have an accident in the northwest realm.

When he left, he said to himself, if he, the lord of the city, still wanted to do it, he must adopt his opinion. Thinking about the stakes, Jiang Sifu immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and also distributed quilts and clothes to the poor people.

Luo Tianyu met with the major shopkeepers of Liyang City, and after listening to the accounts they reported this year, there was one person who made him a little uneasy.

"Nine Masters", this person has silver coins stored in the name of the Luo family in the four countries, he probably calculated, this person's net worth has reached several million taels of gold, this is only the silver money stored in the Luo family's bank, and other places don't know it.

He sent someone to check on this person, but this person's whereabouts were erratic, and there was nowhere to find out, and he was a mystery.
