273. Chapter 273
In March of the twenty-first year of Daqijia and Chao, many things happened to Su Liu's family, Ning Guang left, Su Jinfeng got married, bought land and gave a house, Chen Ye officially went to the county school to study, Ejiao workshop was grandly opened, and quickly entered the market, everything went according to its trajectory.
In May, the rain was dripping, everything had already woken up, the fields were full of life, and Su Liu, who was at the center of the rumors, gradually returned to peace.
"Mother, look, my sister is in a daze again." Su Xiao pouted in the direction of Su Liu.
Chen looked over, sighed, and said, "Your sister, I'm afraid I'm thinking about you Brother Ning again." ”
Su Xiao was silent, supported his chin with one hand, and said: "The world of adults is really difficult to understand, you said that Sister Chu, why don't you follow Brother Ning together, you have to make a lovesickness between the two places, and it will be troublesome!" ”
"At a young age, what is pretending to be deep." Chen pinched her nose and said angrily, "What do you know about lovesickness? There is no shape anymore. ”
Su Xiao stuck out his tongue and said, "Isn't it?" They obviously have a marriage contract, so they just get married right away and go together. ”
Chen wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "You don't understand, your sister can't rest assured that she can't stop us!" ”
Su Xiao pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "Sister, there are too many things hidden in her heart. ”
"So you, don't let your sister worry about it, you're a thirteen-year-old child, and you still have someone to carry it for you, Brother Ye is calmer and more sensible than you." Chen's disgust is authentic.
Su Xiao's pretty little face wrinkled when she heard this, and she pouted and protested: "How can people have it, don't you see that I have started to make money now?" ”
"Yes, yes, we can do it at a young age." Chen had no choice but to agree.
After several attempts and experiments, Su Xiao finally made a better quality fat powder, and sold some of it, but it was not delicate enough, but compared to the powder that ordinary vendors don't know, it is much better, and it is also very popular with some girls and sisters-in-law.
Su Xiao snorted arrogantly, and said, "Brother Ye'er is back today, mother, I'll make him a sweet soup to simmer." ”
"Go ahead." Chen smiled and nodded.
In the evening, smoke rose from the cooking in Daao Village, Chen Ye walked into the house with a bookbag on his back, and went to the main house to greet the Chen family as soon as possible.
According to the situation of Su Liu's family, Chen Ye is the only young master in the family, and he should be accompanied by a small servant, Su Liu also planned to let Cui Fu serve by his side, but Chen Ye refused by himself, saying that there were few men in the family, and Cui Fu wanted to follow him out, so there would be no men. Moreover, in addition to studying, there is nothing to do in the county school, and clothes or anything can be thrown to the subordinates of the county house to wash, but he can't, he can wash it himself.
Chen Ye is sensible and thinks about them everywhere, Su Liu and the others will only iron in their hearts, and they will give up when they see him insisting, but they have made up their minds and wait for Chen Ye to be older, and then make arrangements, after all, they all have girls to serve, Chen Ye needs a little girl to serve by his side, and he will be a helper in the future.
"Eldest sister, Brother Ning has sent a letter." After saying goodbye, Chen Ye took out a letter from his bookbag and handed it to Su Liu.
Su Liu was stunned, stood up, and said, "Hurry up and show me." ”
After taking the letter, it was indeed Ning Guang's words on the cover, Su Liu couldn't help but reach out and touch it, his eyes were hot.
After more than two months of walking, this product is finally a letter!
Chen was also happy, but he also knew that it was not good to disturb, so he took Chen Ye down to freshen up and leave the space to Su Liu.
The letter paper is not thick, only two thin sheets, Su Liuxiao was dissatisfied, and thought that Ning Guang's long-term facial paralysis really didn't look like the person who spoke sweetly, so he laughed and looked at the letter seriously.
Ning Guang is a young man and rarely practices calligraphy, so his handwriting is not as popular as everyone's, but because he has practiced since he was a child, he also writes magnificently, at least several times stronger than Su Liu's.
Ning Guang's letter was concise and clear, never ink, and what could be said clearly in five words, he would definitely not write the sixth one, and soon, Su Liu would read the entire letter.
The letter explained that he had gone to Shangjing to see the emperor, and the letter faintly revealed that the Tartars and the northern country had formed an alliance with the intention of sending troops to the Great Qi State, and Ning Guang was ordered to go to the border pass to lead the troops to fight.
Seeing the alliance between the northern kingdom and the Tartars, Su Liu's heart shrank suddenly, and this means that there will be continuous wars in the future.
Ning Guang also said that even if there is a war, it will not spread to a small place like Changping, so that Su Liu does not have to worry, but don't go to the northwest, if there is any business to do there, let it go.
Su Liu's heart trembled slightly, Ning Guang was so solemn, it was true that he wanted to come to the alliance between the Tartars and the Northern Kingdom.
Once the war starts, the people will be displaced, hungry, and uprooted from their homes.
Su Liu had never experienced war, but she knew that war was the most cruel, how many people were separated from their wives and families, and if there was a war in the north, the displaced people would definitely flock to all directions.
The letter was written more than half a month ago, presumably Ning Guang was on the way to Border Pass Mobei, Su Liu pursed his lips and frowned.
In this war, grain and grass must be collected, food is the most important, who knows when this war will end, she must be prepared, don't get to the point that she can't even eat in the future, and she has no money to buy food.
Thinking of this, Su Liuteng stood up, his eyes were fine, and he was bright.
Now she can't fight for a while, she has to prepare early, the people who store food are not good people, but people are selfish, she always has to ensure that she and her family can eat.
After making up his mind, Su Liu hurriedly returned to the room, first replied to Ning Guang, and then pondered about buying grain.
It's only May now, and there are at least two months left before the summer harvest, and she doesn't know when the war will start, but she can't wait, and the grain she buys now is only last year's old grain, but she also has to stock up on some.
Hearing Chen Ye say that there seemed to be a lot of outsiders in the county recently, Su Liu was even more determined about her thoughts, but she didn't say anything about going to war, for fear that they would be worried.
The Ejiao workshop has gradually been put on track, Su Liu has occasionally gone to inspect it, and someone has presented it to her, and the two girls she specially taught have also begun to use it, although they are not mature and smooth enough, but they have made rapid progress, and it is better than doing it alone.
Especially when the snow falls, she can help Su Liu with things from the outside, and she can take care of her life from the inside, in Su Liu's words, this is an all-round secretary!
Business is on the right track, and the crops that should be planted in the field are also growing very well, and Su Liu is completely free to deal with the matter of buying grain.
Therefore, when Chen Ye returned to the county school on the second day, Su Liu also went with him.
"Eldest sister, but what's wrong?" Chen Ye is not like a lady in the inner house who lives in a simple house like the Chen family, nor is he as simple as Su Xiao, he is far from complicating things, and he is more min-sense, as soon as Su Liu moves like this, he faintly feels that something is about to happen.
Su Liu didn't want to talk to him, but seeing his little adult appearance, he rubbed the top of his hair and said in a low voice: "Your eldest brother Ning wrote that there might be a war." ”
"What?" Chen Ye's eyes widened, and his breath was a little unstable.
"Don't worry, we are far away, and the war will not reach us, but it is always good to be prepared." Su Liu smiled soothingly.
Not only for herself and her family, but also for Ning Guang, who is far away in the border pass and Mobei, this trip to the city, she not only wants to buy food, but also prepare medicines, so that she can send them to Ning Guang in the future.
"No wonder there are so many outsiders in the county these days, I'm afraid I have received some rumors." Chen Ye's two handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he asked again, "Sister, what do you need me to do?" ”
"You just have to learn well, and the others don't need you." Su Liu sneered.
Su Liu sent Chen Ye to the county school first, and then transferred to his newly bought house.
The house was bought at the end of March, there was a shop in front, and the back was to take the second into the courtyard, but it cost Su Liu three hundred taels of silver.
Because he doesn't often live here, Su Liu only invited a room to guard the door, and Chen Ye studied in the county, eating and living in it, and only occasionally came back to check the shop before staying, so the subordinates didn't buy much.
In front of the shop, Su Liu opened a Chinese and Western-style bun shop, the decoration style is more than a level higher than that of Baise Town, and it is also very stylish, but it also attracts many people to patronize, Cao Mingzhu is a frequent visitor here.
Back at the house, Su Liu went to the shop to inspect it before, she only entertained female customers in this shop, so the shopkeeper she invited was also a female shopkeeper, surnamed Xu, who was a woman who lost her husband in the family.
Shopkeeper Xu took care of the shop very well, Su Liu had seen her ability, and there was nothing to worry about, so he only explained a few words and went to Cao's house.
Cao Mingzhu heard that she was coming, and came out to greet her in person, and the two met Cao Kui on his birthday, and they were very happy to meet again, Cao Mingzhu even pulled Su Liu to prevent her from leaving, and she had to live in Cao's house.
Su Liu couldn't resist her, so she had to respond, anyway, she had to prepare to buy food, and she wouldn't leave so quickly, but she still had to do business, so she asked where Cao Kui was.
"You're just in time, Daddy just came back today, and now it's estimated that he is in the study, if you want to see him, I'll ask someone to call him over."
Since knowing Ning Guang's identity, the Cao family has been respectful and polite to Su Liu's family, and because the two daughters have a good relationship, and even have the intention of marrying, they have become familiar with each other at will.
"You are also confused, how can there be any reason for elders to come to see juniors?" Su Liu said angrily: "Since I came, I naturally went to greet Uncle Cao in person." ”
Cao Mingzhu stuck out her tongue and smiled and asked people to take her to the study, while she went down and instructed her subordinates to prepare dinner or something.
Cao Kui had already received the news that Su Liu was coming, and without waiting for her to salute, he first helped them and smiled heartily, first asking them how they were doing, and then he asked how Chen's body and bones were, and he was teased by Su Liu's eyebrows, and he blushed with shame.
"Ahem, Uncle Cao, let's get down to business, I'm here to ask you something."
"Just say it!"
"I want to buy grain, I wonder if Uncle Cao has a way?" Su Liu looked at him with blazing eyes and asked word by word.
