Chapter 310: Lunch Together
At this time, in the hall of the county government, the shopkeeper Fu, that is, Yelu Chucai, was analyzing the current situation.
"At present, the grain in Shiyan Town has been hidden by the people, but there is not much food in the hands of ordinary people." Yelu Chucai sat on the Taishi chair that Yelu Hongzhen let out, and analyzed to the imperial nephew standing in the hall, "In addition to the Sun family, even the Yuan family, like several other families, have already transferred all their valuables, which of course includes food. ”
"Hearing Uncle Huang say this, there is no food in the town? What can I do? "Yelu Hongzhen is really anxious now, if even the imperial uncle says that there is no food, then what will his hundreds of thousands of troops eat?
Yelu Chucai frowned and thought for a while and said, "Not all the families have run away, and there is one family seven or eight miles away from the town that has not left. And as far as I know, the family is living a pretty good life, and there should be some food. However, it is equivalent to a drop in the bucket for the army and does not play a role. A large amount of military rations have to wait for your father to raise them for you. ”
"I can't care about it so much, a little more is a little. Uncle Huang, since you are familiar with this family, you can take people with you and bring you more people. All the food was brought to me, and no one from the family was left. Yeluhongzhen's face was fierce, and his eyes flashed with a wolf-like fierce glint.
"No, no, no, the emperor's nephew, the people in this family have an old relationship with me, and the method of cooking the skin is what the little girl of this family told me. If she knows the times and obediently hands over the food, I will consider sparing her life, and we must not be ungrateful. Yelu Chucai said gently. There was no temperature under the eyes.
"Hahaha, the emperor's nephew is waiting for the good news from the emperor's uncle."
At this time, Li Ziyu didn't know that her family was being remembered, and she was still arranging things in an orderly manner.
In the main house of the house. Li Ziyu asked her aunt and cousin to move to the East House, and several people still lived in the same house. However, my aunt and cousin lived in the outer room of the east house, and I still took Lan Lan to live in the inner room. Li Ziyu can't let people live in the back room, because it involves a secret door and can't be exposed.
Westinghouse was given to Uncle Yang's family because there were inside and outside the house. There is a wooden door in the middle, so it is convenient and easy to live in. Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang took Jin Bo to live in the back room, and Yang Liu and Xiaohua lived in the outhouse. The two little girls got along.
Zhao Qing, the old village chief of the east wing and the south house, lived with his three grandsons, which was also convenient for Zhongrui and Xiaoshan to discuss their studies in the north house, so that their studies would not be wasted.
Zhao Zhenyou lived with his wife in the north house of the west wing, and Zhao Zhenmin lived with his wife in the south house.
Half a day. The men of the village made a sheet of beds. There was not enough wood, so He Shigui, He Shixiang and the people in their villages who had wood contributed the wood, and by noon, more than 200 bed boards were properly placed.
Li Ziyu was also in the study of the East Wing, and arranged a bed for Ren Xiaohang, so he couldn't let him and his subordinates squeeze into the warehouse together, right?
Because the room is built large enough, the desk in the study has been moved slightly, and there is still more space for the bed boards.
Li Ziyu personally hugged the clean bedding and laid it out for him. Finally settled down, and there was a place to stay at night.
Because there are few vegetables at home. Li Ziyu made people pay attention to the movements in the town, and she asked everyone in the village to go out in unison to dig wild vegetables in the nearby shallow mountains.
Wild vegetables grow vigorously in this season. What can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, the people in the village know better than anyone else. Therefore, Li Ziyu ordered to come down, and after breakfast, except for the old people and children, the men who made the bed boards, and the women who made the bedding, the whole village went out and began to dig wild vegetables near the shallow mountain.
Half a day, a lot of harvest. Everyone dug up all kinds of edible wild vegetables, and at noon they just improved their food and made a vegetable bun with vegetable stuffing with wild vegetables.
The food for so many people was a big project, and all the women participated in the cooking, and even Madame Fu sent maids and servants to help with the work.
When it was time to eat, it was convenient for each family to receive its own meal, and then go back to each family's dwelling and close the door to eat its own.
Because Li Ziyu bought enough food, she could afford to feed so many people for the time being.
However, when she saw that the Fu family had also sent maids and servants to receive the meals, she felt that the Fu family also had a lot of people, and it was not very convenient to eat with everyone like this.
So she followed the maid of the Fu family to find it, she wanted to discuss with Mrs. Fu whether the Fu family could open the fire by themselves, anyway, the food could be supplied in a short time.
This is the first time she has come since the Fu family came last night, and she also wants to do her best to see if there is anything missing.
The two courtyards of the Fu family are the two courtyards next to the residence of Chai Bin and his wife, that is, the second and third courtyards to the west of the main house.
The three courtyards on the east side of the main house were all distributed to the villagers, and Li Ziyu didn't have time to visit them one by one, so I don't know how they settled down.
Li Ziyu followed the maid and servant to the house where Mrs. Fu lived, that is, next to the house of Chai Bin and his wife, and unexpectedly saw Ren Xiaohang in the courtyard.
Ren Xiaohang was talking to Fu Yingjie in the courtyard, and Bu Er and Fu Chong were standing next to him. The other maids, servants, and servants stood at a distance.
He stood there with a long body, his eyebrows were soothing, colorful and elegant, but with a domineering body, it was difficult not to attract attention.
Just, how could he be here?
"Brother Ren?" Li Ziyu called out politely, and it was difficult to hide the surprise in her voice.
Seeing Li Ziyu looking at herself in surprise, Ren Xiaohang said, "Mrs. Fu is my aunt, and my aunt asked me to come over to eat with her." ”
Li Ziyu suddenly realized.
She just said, why does Fu Xiaoshuang seem to be very familiar with Ren Xiaohang and Jiang Junzhang, she thought that they would be close to each other in the capital, but there was such a relationship.
In this courtyard, Mrs. Fu and her daughter Xiaoshuang live here, and the east and west wings live with Gu Mama, Hongjuan, Hongyu, Hongling, Hongyun and other maids.
Fu Yingjie, steward Fu Li, little servant Fu Sheng, Fu Xiang, and Fu Chong lived in the west courtyard with ten guards.
At this time, because Ren Xiaohang came over, Fu Yingjie brought someone to visit his cousin, so now the courtyard is very lively.
Fu Xiaoshuang, who had just come out of the main house, saw Li Ziyu come in, and happily walked over and took her hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you busy man is finally free, hurry up, don't go, let's eat together here." It's the same meal anyway. ”
Li Ziyu didn't speak yet, and Mrs. Fu, who came out later, also smiled and said, "What Shuang'er said is that we will leave you for a meal for the host, Miss Li, you won't refuse, right?" ”
Li Ziyu subconsciously glanced at Ren Xiaohang, but she didn't expect Ren Xiaohang to look up at her too, and both of them couldn't help but be stunned, both of them were a little uncomfortable.
Ren Xiaohang coughed lightly and looked away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Li Ziyu was a little embarrassed, and her heart was slightly confused. But she was able to control her emotions by herself, so she responded calmly: "Okay, Mrs. Fu, lunch is here." Since you came to my house, I, the master, have been busy with chores, and I haven't had time to visit you, and I have been negligent in saying it, and I hope Mrs. Fu can forgive the junior for negligence.
