Chapter 253: Hongmen Banquet

Xi Muyun glared at him, "You are the cat, now I am a tigress, you must drink this bowl of raw soup, otherwise I will bite you to death, hurry up." ”

Qi Lichen tried hard to suppress his smile, picked up the sound on the table and drank it, and praised it after drinking, "It tastes good, so can you become a docile kitten now?" ”

Xi Muyun slowly put away his fierce appearance, changed to a gentle smile and said, "Of course you can, you haven't come back for so long, do you miss me?" ”

Qi Lichen was a little surprised that she asked so directly, so he hugged her tightly in his arms, buried his head in her shoulder, and with the body temperature in his arms, his heart seemed to be a lot more stable, and said: "There have been a lot of dangers along the way, and every time danger comes, I am thinking, what will you do if I die?" ”

Xi Muyun thought about this question seriously, "Of course you are remarried, so ah, you can't die, you have to keep your life and marry me." ”

Qi Lichen smiled, "Actually, I thought a lot when I was in danger, if I really die, naturally I can't delay you for a lifetime, if you want to marry, you will marry a good person, but now that I am back, I will never let you remarry, you can only marry me in this life." ”

"It's so domineering, then I have to think about whether I will be happy after marrying you." Xi Muyun pouted, as if he was thinking carefully.

"You can't marry someone else." Qi Lichen's tone was very firm, as if he was stating such a fact, and he seemed to be domineering in deciding Xi Muyun's future.

Xi Muyun was amused by his tone, and also felt a little moved, Qi Lichen could still think about it when he was in danger, if he died, he also hoped that she would be able to marry a good family.

She threw herself into Qi Lichen's arms all of a sudden, smiled and said, "Okay, then you can only marry me in the future." ”

Qi Lichen smiled and nodded, "It's enough to have a wife who treats you sincerely." ”

"Okay, that's what you said, if you fail me in the future, then don't blame me for being rude." Xi Muyun pretended to be domineering and said.

Qi Lichen scratched her nose and laughed, "Okay, if I fail you, I will die young, and I will not die well." ”

Xi Muyun covered his mouth, "Don't say these words, I believe you." ”

"And when are you going to marry me?" Qi Lichen said in a half-joking tone.

Xi Muyun pouted, "Then it depends on when you plan to marry me, you have been dragging people all the time, and you have to ask when they will marry you." ”

Qi Lichen patted his head, this matter really shouldn't be asked to the woman.

"Then how are you willing to marry me?" He took a different approach.

Xi Muyun thought for a while, "It depends on sincerity, anyway, I'm still busy with the affairs of the factory now, but I don't have time to marry you." After saying that, she laughed, turned around and walked out the door, "Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Qi Lichen nodded and looked at her back.

Maybe such a sweet and warm little life is to live, is his life really what he needs? Is it really something he can give up to achieve everything?

He wondered again.

Although he knew that Xi Muyun was not an ordinary woman, if he wanted to be with her, he would definitely be a million times more relieved than others, but what he wanted to do was not a small fight, but an earth-shattering event, if Xi Muyun was really dragged down, maybe it would not be a good thing for such an open-minded woman.

She is like a free cloud in the sky, she is used to floating in the sky, how can she live a life of being bound?

If they really use the identity of the old heirs of the previous dynasty to start an incident, then they will not be able to get peace for a few years.

He stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, as if to gauge what was worth it and what wasn't worth it.

After so many years, those things back then are still deeply engraved in his heart, although he was just a child back then, but the memory is still deep.

These blood feuds naturally can't be forgotten, the enemy is still at ease, how can he let it go?

Tossing and turning almost all night without sleep, the day soon dawned, the sound of chickens and birds chirping came from a distance, anyway, it was already dawn, so I simply stopped sleeping, got up, and walked towards the door.

As soon as he entered the study, Bai Bing sent a letter over, "It was sent by the fifth prince." ”

"Didn't we just met? What's the matter? Qi Lichen frowned slightly.

Bai Bing shook his head and said, "I don't know, the letter was not sent by the cronies of the fifth prince, probably something is really wrong." ”

Qi Lichen opened the letter and glanced at it, the fifth prince probably meant that the river embankment was almost built, and he had already asked people to make a plan estimate, and listed all the repair costs of the river embankment for fifty years, and after it was used up, there was still a part of those jewels left, and they had already made a decision not to hand over the jewels to the treasury.

Because the emperor is suspicious, even if all the jewelry details are listed, I am afraid that he will suspect that he has a private collection.

Moreover, there are too many corrupt officials in the court, and if the embankment is not properly cared for in the future, there will be another flood, so it is better for the two parties to form an alliance and leave these jewels for the use of the embankment, and never use them privately.

Qi Lichen and Gu Jianglin were actually at ease with each other, because they knew that there were not many people in this world who could care so much about the people of Limin.

The next page writes about the difficulties he encountered at this time, probably because there are too many victims, the grain in the treasury is almost used, and the grain sent by the emperor is getting late every time, but there are only a lot more victims, and the land that has been flooded by the river has missed the best cultivation season, and there is no way to cultivate this year, so I can only wait for next year.

In other words, these disaster victims and refugees still have no way to return to their hometowns this year, so they can only wander outside, and they can only rely on the relief food of the imperial court to make ends meet, and then they will have no hope of returning to their hometowns to continue farming next year.

Now that food is the most scarce, I just want to ask him if he has any surplus food.

He has planned for people to buy it, but now that there is a shortage of food and the price of food is rising,

Qi Lichen has also done a lot of business over the years, and he has some surplus grain in his hands, and the old grain of the chickens the year before last cannot be sold, but he can still eat it when he eats it, and these things can be donated without a penny.

There are still dozens of bags of coarse grains, mung beans, and soybeans in the warehouse, which are also nutritious and relatively full, but he knows that these can only be set for a month at most, and there are too many victims, and they should also consider the longest, such as this year's winter.

He put down the envelope and said to Bai Bing, "You go and take out all the grain in the warehouse." ”

"It's hard to buy food out there right now." Bai Bing sighed and said, "The price is too expensive. ”

Qi Lichen smiled, "Solve the urgent need, the most important thing is that you go to the surrounding villages in two days to ask if they have any surplus grain, and if they have any surplus grain, some of them will be collected, and the price will be kept as low as possible." ”

"These are reserved for the brothers?" Bai Bing asked.

It is not easy for them, although they earn a lot of money, but they have a big family business, especially a group of people under their hands, and they have to pay them food and money on a monthly basis.

It's not easy for anyone these days.

"There are too many victims, I'm afraid there is not too much surplus grain in these warehouses, if there is more grain collected, leave half of it for us, if it is too little, you will send it all to the five princes, the matter over there is important."
