Asada Chidai really didn't expect that the "little rabbit" she had raised for so long would run away at this time, and there was a reason why she didn't fortify her backyard:

Qinyu itself is complex, the Asada Mansion is built on the mountain, the back garden is connected to the native woods of Qinyu, the big trees that shade the sky are densely covered with low shrubs and long thorns, and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and rats infested, that is, if you want to enter the forest during the day, you have to think about it, where would you think that Lin Wanjing, the pampered daughter, dared to escape into the woods alone in the evening.

But she said that when Lin Wanjing escaped from the Asada Mansion, she didn't think about it much, but when she entered the woods, she realized how reckless her decision was.

Although the forest was dim, Lin Wanjing could realize that she was walking along the hillside, and according to normal logic, she should go down the mountain as soon as possible and ask for help. But she also knew that Asada Chidai must have known about her escape by now, and she would definitely send more people to search around, and the first thing to do was to block every road down the mountain, and her going down the mountain now was tantamount to throwing herself into a net. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally decided to go to the top of the mountain, and it would be best if she could get help from well-wishers along the way, even if she could not see her situation clearly with the help of the high terrain.

But this road was obviously more difficult than she expected, thorns and hooks tore her clothes, and scratched blood marks on her skin, which hurt and itched, but at this time, it rained again in the gloomy sky, and the rain mixed with sweat seeped into the wound, relieving the itching, but also doubling the pain. The cold and wet were mixed, and there was a dull pain in the lower abdomen, and the waist and legs became heavier and heavier, and it seemed that they could not exert their strength no matter what. Just when she was almost desperate, she finally saw the lights of the monastery......

Of course, Lin Wanjing didn't mention the hardships along the way, and Li Lingrui also knew that she deliberately omitted, but she didn't break it, sighed, and said:

"I'm sorry I couldn't find you and put you through these senseless sins." Seeing her smile and shake her head, he said again: "Since you came to me today, shouldn't you leave?" ”

"Hmm. I have said hello to the dean's grandmother, and when the wind passes, I will go back to thank you. Lin Wanjing paused, and the conversation changed:

"I have come today to ask for one more thing."

"Why do you say 'ask' with me? But it doesn't hurt to say that. As long as I can do it, I will never shirk it! ”

"Don't promise me so early, just listen to what I have to say. Today, I want to talk to you about business. ”

"Business?" Li Lingrui's smile deepened, and he joked to her: "Our Wanjing is really grown up, and she wants to talk about business with me." Let's talk about it, how big is the market? ”

"I want to ask you to buy some food."

It turned out that the reason why Lin Wanjing chose to come back today was actually to follow the convent to purchase food, firstly, it was the most difficult to be discovered, and secondly, she was already guilty about her staying in the convent, and she really didn't want to trouble them to prepare a boat for her. Since she was back in Luzhou together, she also followed the nuns to the grain store, originally wanting to see if there was anything she could do to help, but when she arrived at the grain store, she found that the food price in Luzhou was not what it was a month ago.

The monastery that took in Lin Wanjing also housed many homeless children, and the funds provided by the church were already limited, and after several checks on daily expenses, it was barely enough money for the children to hire teachers. Now that the price of food is rising, it is a drop in the bucket to buy enough food, let alone save money to pay for teachers.

"Coarse grain corn has risen by 30 percent, wheat flour has risen by 50 percent, and the most exaggerated is rice, which has more than doubled. It's just a matter of raising the price, and I have to limit the purchase every day, and I won't give more ...... to anything."

Li Lingrui listened to her, but he was just silent, he knew about the increase in grain prices, but he also knew how much surplus grain there was on the market, although the price was more expensive, but it was more than enough to purchase the grain needed to run the welfare home. But since she came to him, it must be as simple as helping the welfare home. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked:

"You...... Did you hear about the fleet? ”

Lin Wanjing knew that she couldn't hide it from him, lowered her eyes, and nodded.

In fact, she only heard about it when she was bargaining with the boss of the grain bank just now:

"Don't say it's you, we can't give that amount when the army requisitioned food a few days ago."

If others heard this, it was just a prevarication, but Lin Wanjing noticed the abnormality and asked rhetorically:

"The grain in the army should be collected in June, what kind of grain should be collected at this time?"

"The girl didn't know that last month there was a typhoon and an explosion, and so many victims were waiting for the relief food, but the money and food could not be distributed. Later, I heard that the treasury of Luzhou had been empty for a long time......"

"And now, is the matter settled?"

"Can it not be solved? If not, where would you see this peaceful scene now? The boss said this, and his eyebrows were unconsciously dyed with unadorned admiration: "Thanks to Yun Shuai for opening the warehouse and releasing grain, he took out the fleet's military salary and distributed it to the victims." It's just that it's easy to send out the money and grain, but it's hard to collect it again. It stands to reason that Yun Shuai is righteous and awe-inspiring, and we should respond positively, but at the moment, we have no surplus food, even if we help each other, we can't get the amount he wants, and besides, we are also a small business, and we have to support our families......"

"That's... Do you know what Yun Shuai wants to do next? ”

"If you want to talk about grain, it's not that it's nothing, it's just that those big bosses are hoarding, I heard that Yun Shuai plans to sell the warship to find a grain merchant in the north to exchange for rice." The boss said this, sighed regretfully, and asked himself again: "Otherwise, what can I do, Yun Shuai loves soldiers like children, and he can't watch his soldiers go hungry." ”

……

It's really for him.

Li Lingrui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"I want to ask you to buy some food. It doesn't need much, it's enough for the fleet to last for three months, and give Yunrou some time to turnaround. ”

Li Lingrui was a shrewd and cautious businessman, as early as when Ye Qiuluo came to trouble him, he had predicted today's situation, so he transferred the grain and oil reserves in the warehouse of the Hengguang Far East Group to his private warehouse at sea in batches early in the morning.

Compared to his sufficient inventory, Lin Wanjing really didn't want much - not to mention the food that supplied the fleet for three months, his inventory was enough to feed the entire Luzhou City for three years.

"Wan Jing, you know, how much inventory Hengguang Far East has, I don't want to hide it from you, and I can't hide it from you. But I can't help you with this. ”

"Why?"

"You know that the price of grain in Luzhou has more than doubled, but you don't know that the orders from the north have surged threefold, and the purchase price has also tripled. Li Lingrui realized that his tone was a little hurried, so he paused and said apologetically: "Wan Jing, I am a businessman, and I have to be responsible for my family and the entire Hengguang Far East Group." ”

Li Lingrui said this, lowering his eyes to avoid Lin Wanjing's gaze - this was probably the first time in his life that he had rejected her, and he really couldn't bear to face the disappointment and frustration in her eyes, maybe there were three points of anger and seven points of sadness.

Who knew that after hearing this, Lin Wanjing was not a little unhappy, but said with relief:

"I know, so I didn't ask you to help me. As long as you have inventory and are willing to sell it to me. You just said that the price of orders from the north has tripled, right? I'm willing to double it for you! ”

When Li Lingrui heard this, he was speechless for a while, but he looked at Lin Wanjing in a daze, and then listened to her and said:

"Ling Rui, you are a businessman, you will not be willing to take the risk of unsalable goods and put such a large deal on it, right?"

Double Generals!

He couldn't have imagined that he would be tricked by Lin Wanjing, and he was silent for a long time before he said:

"Wan Jing, not to mention where you got such a large amount of money, have you ever thought about it, is the young marshal willing you to do this for him?"

"I'm going to fund him, even if it's funding, do you still want to ask him what he means?" Lin Wanjing said, and the words changed: "Besides, No. 19 Mizhen Road, did he ask me?" ”

No. 19 Mizhen Road, which is a mansion near the mountains that Liu Jin entrusted Li Lingrui to buy in **, specially selected the scenery that can see the sea, together with the grassland garden, and almost moved the main body of the Yukuntai one-to-one. From site selection to completion, it took less than a year in total, and the huge manpower and material resources consumed can be imagined.

"Actually, I know that if he hadn't bought that property, his cash flow would not have been cramped to this point, and now that he is in trouble, shouldn't I help him? The right should be to repay him......"

"He doesn't need you to do that." Li Lingrui interrupted her self-blame, "He only needs your mother and son to have no worries for the rest of your life, why don't you understand?" ”

"I understand, but ......"

"No, but! Wan Jing, do you know what happened this time, me, and the young marshal, how worried we are? Now that you have returned safely for the rest of your life, I will not allow you to do this kind of thing again and put yourself in danger again! ”

Lin Wanjing listened to him count, lowered her head silently, and didn't say a word, Li Lingrui couldn't help but reflect on what he should have said too much, so he sighed, slowed down, and continued:

"Only if you are safe and sound, the young marshal can have no worries, you are his weakness, understand?"

"I've been thinking a lot these days, and maybe, it was a mistake to meet him." Lin Wanjing suddenly sighed for no reason, "Whether it's Qiandai Asada or Ye Qiuluo, even if it's Pei Yue, whoever he is with is more comfortable than choosing me." ”

"What are you thinking......

"Isn't it?" She raised her eyes to look at him, her expression added a bit of desolation and relief, "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been heavily constrained, and he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive and helpless situation as he is today......"

"It's not fair to him to say that, it's not fair to you." Li Lingrui interrupted her self-pity, and said: "As far as I know, meeting you is the greatest luck in his life, and it is only because he is in this troubled world, so many things are not up to you." Tell me these words, and if they are heard by him, he will be grieved. ”

Lin Wanjing was smuggling for a long time, and at the end, she lowered her eyes and nodded, he thought she had listened, so he reached out and rubbed the top of her head:

"You sit here, and when I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will send you to the young marshal, and when the rumors have passed for a while, I will arrange for you to go to ** immediately." The domestic situation is turbulent, and the Ye family and Liu Qingyu regard you as a thorn in the flesh, you must not delay here for more! ”

"Okay..."Lin Wanjing said in a low voice, paused, and said, "I think... Go to the bathroom and put the bag here first, okay? ”

"Absolutely." Li Lingrui smiled, didn't think much about it, beckoned the clerk to lead the way, and returned to the desk, who knew that it was noon after being busy.
