090 Mystery Guest (2nd Watch)
On the official road, a group of people and horses were marching slowly. Cavalry in front and behind, and a carriage in the middle. The carriage looked very ordinary, but the two horses pulling the carriage were extremely miraculous. If you let the horse lover see it, you have to vomit blood.
The carriage is quite large, but there are only two people in it. An elegant man dressed in white, and a young boy about ten years old.
The man in white was lazily leaning on the cushion, holding a white jade wine jug in his hand, and was pouring wine into his mouth. The young man beside him had a cold face, and a pair of beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely: "Why do you have to take me with you when you run out to play with you?" ”
The man in white put down the wine jug, licked the wine from his mouth, blinked and said with a hurt face: "I was afraid that you would be too bored at home, so I kindly took you out to relax, why don't you know how to be grateful?" ”
The young man gritted his teeth, eager to chew the man in front of him: "I'm not bored at all, and I don't need to be distracted!" "Instead of following this unreliable man out, he would rather stay at home and spend time with his mother! The young man regretted it very much, why did he worship such an unreliable master in the first place!
Turning his head, the boy decided not to pay attention to him. The man in white came over with a wicked smile on his face, and said shyly: "This time as a teacher, it's all for you, don't you want to see what your future daughter-in-law looks like?" ”
The young man Ruyu's face couldn't help but blush, he was still too young, although he kept telling himself that the man was talking nonsense, he still couldn't help but be curious.
Seeing him blushing, the man in white laughed exaggeratedly. The young man was annoyed when he heard this, and turned his head to stare at the man again: "What are you laughing at?" I won't believe your nonsense! "In his capacity, his wife must have come from a big family. How could it be in such a place in Qingshan County?
This bastard is definitely talking nonsense! Thinking that he had been entangled in this for a long time, the boy was even more dissatisfied with the man.
The procession continued. Head to Qingshan County, which is surrounded by mountains.
Spring sowing is over, and the whole Qingshan County has returned to calm. Shang Jinxiu bought a lot of chickens, ducks and geese. Hired people to graze on the hill she bought. They can find food on their own, and they don't have to think much about it except to guard against wild beasts.
The mountain is not very high, it is actually a dirt bag, there are no large beasts on the mountain, and it is the weasel that gives people a headache. Shang Jinxiu hired an experienced old hunter, who was very good at dealing with weasels, and was not afraid that it would steal the poultry at all.
Shang Jinxiu cultivated a lot of strawberry seedlings in the greenhouse early in the morning, and transplanted these strawberry seedlings into the ground after the snow melted. Now the strawberries are ready to be harvested. However, the output is not large, except for supplying to merchants and the Li family, it is only sold in 'Yipinxian'.
The sweet taste of strawberries is very popular with women and children, and Shang Jinxiu sells them directly, soak them in cold water and cut them and put them on a beautiful plate, or with crisp cheese, the taste is good.
The vegetables in the field are ripe, and the dishes in 'Yipin Xian' are richer.
Shang Shixun's porcelain shop also opened, not only in Qingshan County. Two counties closer to Qingshan County have also opened shops, and business is good.
Shang Jinxiu kept people staring at He Yunqi, and she finally discovered the clue.
The He family actually sent people to other places to buy grain, and the amount was not small! Shang Jinxiu didn't understand why He Yunqi wanted to buy so much grain. At first, she thought that He Yunqi was going to make wine, but now the annual output of grain is not high, and the people are not enough to eat. It would be too extravagant to use it for sake brewing.
What's more, the He family has been buying grain from other places. However, instead of opening a winery, several warehouses were built to store grain. It's not like it's about making wine.
Shang Jinxiu couldn't help but doubt the purpose of the He family's doing this, after all, there was a He Yunqi from the 'future', and she knew what would happen in the future. The more Shang Jinxiu thought about it, the more frightened he became, would He Yunqi do this, would there be a famine?
It's a pity that she can't tell others about this speculation, and the only thing Shang Jinxiu can do is to hoard some food appropriately.
Just when Shang Jinxiu sent people to buy grain in other places, two mysterious guests came to the Qingzhou Mansion, and the prefect Du Yuzhang personally greeted them.
Du Yuzhang personally welcomed the two into the house, and after sending the others away, he bowed down in front of the man in white: "Minister Du Yuzhang has seen the national teacher!" ”
The man in white helped him up casually, and then sat down on the main seat in a chic manner. Du Yuzhang knew his identity and naturally didn't dare to have the slightest opinion, but curiously glanced at the young man beside the man in white, and asked, "I don't know who this is?" ”
The man in white waved his hand casually and said, "It's just a bad guy, you don't have to worry about him." I'm here this time because I have a very important business for you to do. ”
Seeing that he was serious, Du Yuzhang's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "Please also ask the National Teacher to show me!" ”
The man in white nodded with satisfaction, this person looked like he was doing practical things, not the kind of person who was sloppy and patting horses. He got straight to the point and said: "Here's the thing......" He told Du Yuzhang about the matter with a secret transmission, and when he finished speaking, Du Yuzhang's face was already pale.
He didn't expect that the national teacher came to Qingzhou for such an important matter! As long as he thought that such a terrible disaster would happen in Qingzhou in a few months, Du Yuzhang couldn't help but worry about the people of Qingzhou!
Fortunately, the national teacher saw this incident in advance, and they still have time to prepare!
Seeing that he seemed frightened, the man in white patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, since we already know the Dao, as long as we prepare early, even if it can't be avoided, we can alleviate the disaster." ”
Du Yuzhang nodded again and again, and solemnly assured the man in white that he would definitely get this matter done.
After he confessed to the man in white, he ordered someone to arrange a place for the man in white to live, and he himself left in a hurry and called a meeting of his henchmen. Of course, the disaster can't be said, but the man in white has already thought of countermeasures, and he just needs to do what the man in white tells him to do.
Orders soon spread from the government to the various county offices in Qingzhou Prefecture, and because of these orders, the entire Qingzhou was busy again.
After receiving the order, Shang Shigong did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned the officials to carry out the orders one by one. After Shang Jinxiu learned about this matter, he finally understood the reason why He Yunqi was hoarding food.
After the order went down, the entire Qingshan County became busy. He Yunqi didn't care, and continued to order people to buy food. However, the He family's financial resources were limited, and after He Liu's family learned about this matter, they did not allow Zhang Xiuhua and He Yunqi to continue to mess around. He Yunqi lied that he had a dream, and after seeing the dream, a natural disaster would fall soon, and he had to get food.
He Liushi was unwilling to take such a big risk because of her dream, not only did she not allow her to continue messing around, but instead reprimanded both her and Zhang Xiuhua, telling Zhang Xiuhua not to just care about trading, making her smell of copper like a businessman, and educating her daughter is what she should do.
Zhang Xiuhua was trained by her to be gloomy, she calculated the money that the He family had spent on buying grain these days, only to feel that her eyes were dark, and she felt a chill all over her body.
Mother is right, Qi'er is too nonsense, it won't work if she doesn't teach a lesson!
He Yunqi was reprimanded by Zhang Xiuhua again, there are words of suffering, there are words of suffering. What made her even more uncomfortable was that Zhang Xiuhua sold all the food she had worked so hard to hoard, leaving only a small amount to keep at home to eat.
When she learned the news, He Yunqi rushed to Zhang Xiuhua and had a big fight with her, but He Liu's family heard it and directly asked her to be taught family law. Although rattan can't beat bad people, it can hurt people to death!
He Yunqi is small, her skin is delicate, and when she was beaten by rattan, her buttocks and legs were directly bruised and swollen, and a slight touch could make her scream.
Shang Jinxiu didn't know what happened to He Yunqi, she only did one thing, that is, she bought all the grain of the He family and hoarded it in the warehouse. If Qingshan County really suffers a disaster at that time, these grains will be life-saving. If not, then she is not afraid of using it to make wine, and the lees can not only be used to feed cattle, but also to grow mushrooms, and she is not afraid of waste.
He Yunqi was recuperating at home, but she didn't know that the food she had worked so hard to hoard was bought by Shang Jinxiu, otherwise she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
Zhang Xiuhua counted the silver exchanged for food, and finally felt at ease. As for who the grain was sold to, and what the other party wanted to buy grain, she didn't care.
The merchant knew about Shang Jinxiu's hoarding of food, not only did he not say anything about her, but he went to the heart disease. Although the prefect didn't tell him about the disaster, Shang Shigong still smelled clues from those orders and guessed the matter. It's just that the prefect didn't give an order, and he didn't dare to use the government's money to buy grain.
However, at this moment, two mysterious guests came to Qingshan County. When the two came, they also brought a handwritten letter from the prefect Du Yuzhang, which was for Shang Shigong. The letter did not say the identities of the two, but strictly ordered Shang Shigong to be well entertained and protect the safety of the two.
Shang Shigong is not a fool, Du Yuzhang's letter clearly told him that the identities of the two of them are extraordinary, not to mention that there is a team of fifty guards around the two, these people are all evil, and they are masters at a glance, not comparable to the officials in the county government and the guards he recruited.
When the two arrived, it was noon, and their stomachs were already hungry, so the man in white proposed to go to 'Yipinxian' and let the merchant be accompanied. Shang Shigong saw that their status was extraordinary, so he proposed to send someone to 'Yipin Xian' to order food and bring it back to eat. The man in white refused to agree, but said that he would lose his original taste and that he would have to go himself.
Shang Shigong had to personally take the two of them to 'Yipinxian', and of course, there were fifty guards with him.
The business of 'Yipinxian' was very good, and when they arrived, the private rooms had already been booked. However, Shang Shigong is not worried, the backyard of 'Yipinxian' has long been built, there is a hole in it, it is the best place for 'Yipinxian', the price is also frighteningly expensive, it is usually basically empty, and it will only be used there when Li Guangcai banquets important guests.
Shang Shigong took them directly to the backyard, but he didn't know what to do, Shang Jinxiu and Lan Qi were inside at this time. (To be continued......)
