Xu Qirong was ruthless, and took out 3,000 taels of silver tickets to Uncle Gao, asking him to find someone to buy food, originally she still wanted to meet those people in person, pay the money first and then pay the grain, she was not very relieved after all.

Qiu Nong knew but didn't dare to let her act like this, and persuaded her bitterly for a while, and even said something like "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", which made Xu Qirong dispel his thoughts, and only told Gao Bo to be more careful when trading with those people.

I didn't dare to let my family know about this kind of thing, Xu Qirong was quietly preparing things for the New Year, and at the same time he was silently worried in his heart. After a night, who knew that it was about to be said that it was time to say, and those people had not heard back.

Although worried, Xu Qirong still believed in Uncle Gao, so he didn't urge, who knew that he waited for another hour, and saw that Gong Qi was about to bring people to transport food and clothes, and those people had not yet notified Uncle Gao to get food.

At this moment, even Uncle Gao couldn't sit still, and his heart was full of self-blame, he knew that those people were untrustworthy, why did he suggest that Miss Fifteen do business with them! Three thousand taels of silver was nothing to Xu Qirong in the past, but now it is the income of all the shops and granges under Xu Qirong for a year!

Xu Qirong became more and more worried, but he refused to blame Gao Bo, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, just when Gao Bo couldn't help but take someone to look for it, he finally received a message from the gang, saying that the food was ready, and asked Gao Bo to bring someone to pick it up.

Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Qirong's expression slowly became soothed. After the grain was quietly transported to the Xu family, it was too late to count it. Xu Qirong took a rough inventory.

Gao Bo saw Xu Qirong counting, and his expression was a little guilty: "Miss doesn't need to count, the little one has already seen it on the way back." That's a full 300 catties of food!

Xu Qirong nodded, although his face was not good-looking, he didn't say anything to investigate...... At this time, where can she care about pursuing that gang! What's more, as Gao Bo said, those people are real murderers and villains, a good family like their own home. And how to fight them!

Xu Qirong sighed and shook his head at Gao Bo: "It's okay, there can be so much food." I'm already satisfied. “

This grain should be enough for them to support them for two months!

Because of Gong Qi's words, Xu Qirong had a bad premonition, so he didn't dare to prepare too little food. I had to prepare as much as I could.

The food prepared by Xu Qirong was really beyond Gong Qi's imagination. When he knew that Xu Qirong had bought these grains from the black market, the whole person's expression was very weird, and he stopped talking for a while, Gong Qi suddenly restrained his expression, gave Xu Qirong a serious look, and said: "Gong Qi thank you for your great kindness to Miss Fifteen!" ”

Gong Qi thanked him so seriously, Xu Qirong was a little embarrassed and was about to speak. I heard Gong Qi say again: "Miss Fifteen, you are a little lady." It's not easy to save some money, and when the matter is resolved, Gong Qi will definitely remind the master for you, and let him return the money to Miss Fifteen. ”

Xu Qirong looked a little embarrassed: "There is no need to be like this, these grains are also a little bit of Qi Rong's heart, where do you need De Gong to return it to Qi Rong?" He was originally indebted to the great kindness of Degong. ”

Gong Qi couldn't listen to these words.

Because he didn't expect Xu Qirong to prepare so much food, Gong Qi's preparation was a little insufficient, so Xu Qirong had to let eight strong men help Gong Qi and others secretly transport the food out of the city.

When the others transported all the things away, the smile on Xu Qirong's face disappeared, and his expression became more and more heavy. Qiu Nong was a little confused, and while following Xu Qirong to the courtyard, he asked, "Girl, the food and clothes have been transported, what else do you have to worry about!" It doesn't make sense, but it's more frightening than when it's not solved! ”

Xu Qirong shook his head, very worried: "That's not the reason, you said, how long is the food just now enough for the women and children we saw outside the city to eat?" ”

Qiu Nong thought for a while: "If you are full, I am afraid that it will take three months to eat, and if you save some food, it will be okay to eat for half a year." ”

Xu Qirong sighed: "Then you say, why did they stay on the mountain for so long?" Although Gong Qi was surprised that there would be so much food, he didn't say that he would leave some in the Xu Mansion, which shows that they need so much food, and even, that food may not be enough!

Qiu Nong has been following Xu Qirong for a long time, and the two have a much more tacit understanding than ordinary people, hearing Xu Qirong say this, Qiu Nong immediately figured out the joints, and his face turned pale in shock.

opened his mouth and said: "Girl, this matter is not trivial, you must remember what Duke De said at the beginning, don't be nosy!" ”

I don't know who this thing is aimed at, how can she sit idly by! What's more, Hua Yude has helped the Xu family so much, and she has never asked them to repay her, if Hua Yude needs anything in the future, how can she refuse?

In the end, you can't completely stay out of it!

It's just that Hua Yude didn't let Gong Qi tell her what was going on, and she was secretive, obviously not wanting her to be involved in this matter. While Xu Qirong felt a little relieved, a rather subtle emotion also rose in his heart, he, is this protecting himself?

But said that Hua Yude's face was a little unsightly when he saw the food and clothes that were transported up the mountain, yes, she was so smart, how could Gong Qi's idiot deceive her!

Gong Qi was also complacent: "Miss Fifteen said that when she made clothes for Baisui Tang and Shantang before, she made more clothes for us and gave us just now, and she didn't bother Miss Fifteen much." ”

Hua Yude looked at him with a little hatred that iron is not steel, and he wanted to ask him to go outside to practice one-finger handstand on the snow slag: "These clothes are bought from the ready-to-wear shop, and the clothes made for Baisui Tang and Shantang before were all made by Xu Shifu and asked a tailor to make them, which is completely different from this!" ”

Gong Qi's expression froze.

Hua Yude sighed: "How many old people and children are in the Baisui Hall and the Shantang in the entire Fuzhou City, you don't know, just those people, there are so many extra padded jackets, don't you think about it!" ”

Gong Qi's eyes widened: "These clothes were all bought by Miss Fifteen from the ready-to-wear shop?" ”

"There are so many clothes, and I don't know how many ready-to-wear shops Miss Fifteen has run!" Gong Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Hua Yude looked at Gong Qi, Gong Qi's neck shrank, and he took the initiative to say: "Master, my subordinates went to the snow to do a handstand." ”

Hua Yude said lightly: "There is a shortage of food on the mountain, don't eat it today, save two rations for the children." Then he turned to Tong Er and said, "Clean up, let's go down the mountain and talk to the surnamed Pei!" (To be continued.) )
