Yu Panxi's attitude obviously surprised Shopkeeper Zhao.

He just said his little bit of caution so blatantly, in fact, it could be regarded as a gamble, because he knew that an extremely smart person like Yu Panxi could definitely guess his intentions. It's just that there is a big difference between saying it yourself and being guessed by the other party.

If you win the bet, it will naturally be like now, without worrying about being discovered by the other party, and you can even use this relationship openly. And if he loses the bet, not only will he not get any benefits, but there is a great possibility that even the little goodwill that he had accumulated in front of Yu Panxi before will disappear.

Fortunately, the general's wife is very thoughtful and straightforward, so she didn't embarrass him because of this.

Yu Panxi had been watching the reaction of the shopkeeper Zhao with his residual eyes, and at this time, he was obviously secretly relieved, so he smiled and said: "The shopkeeper's mind is like this, I am afraid that many children of the family cannot compare, if he enters the court as an official, he must be able to mix it up." ”

Looking at her look and tone, if someone else saw it, at most they thought it was just a joke.

However, Shopkeeper Zhao has been in business for many years, and he knows how to figure out other people's thoughts, how can he not see that she means something?

But he didn't know Yu Panxi's purpose, and after weighing it a little in his heart, he pretended to be stupid and said: "Madame said that it was funny, Zhao Mou just met all kinds of people in the mall, and he just exercised some of his temperament." If you really want to put it in such an important position, I am afraid that I will live up to the kindness of my wife. ”

The Hu family has been businessmen for generations, and by the time he arrived at his wife, he had already taken over most of the grain business in the city. He Zhao Qian has no father and no mother, and he is really in love with the young lady of the Hu family, and when he got married, he simply entered the Hu Mansion, and at this time he was naturally thinking about the Hu family wholeheartedly.

He knew very well in his heart that at this time, there were still many people inside and outside the city who were staring at the fat of the Hu family, and if he was involved in the court struggle again, he was afraid that it would be difficult to have a peaceful life.

Yu Panxi originally looked at this Zhao Qian's good temperament, and he could be regarded as an official. Although he is indeed not young, there may be obstacles to promotion in the future, but if he sits in the position of the parent official, he must also benefit the people.

Moreover, what she said just now was actually just a test of him, if he had this thought, then she would push him along the way; If he doesn't want to, she can't force a woman, right?

Hearing his clear refusal, Yu Panxi didn't get angry, but just followed his words and smiled lightly: "Shopkeeper Zhao doesn't need to be so nervous, I just said it casually." At the moment, the most important thing is the large number of refugees who have poured into the city. ”

"Since the shopkeeper has already guessed the situation on the frontier, then I won't hide it too much. As long as this war with Nanjin is not over, I am afraid that there will only be more and more refugees, and soup porridge is just an expedient measure. If this goes on for a long time, not to mention the problem of silver, it is estimated that the food stored in the city alone will be really unbearable. ”

When he said the last sentence, the smile on Yu Panxi's face had already changed to a rare seriousness. Seeing her like this, even Zhao Qian on the side frowned.

What Yu Panxi just said, he didn't think about it. However, although they are a well-known family inside and outside this city, even if they have that kind heart, they don't have the wealth to the sky, and they can't settle so many refugees well.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian couldn't help sighing, obviously also worried about this: "This is indeed a big problem. Although there was occasional friction between the Nanjin Kingdom and our country's frontier before, it did not really break through the defense line and hit here. So even though it's close to the border, we don't have much food in stock. ”

Speaking of which, Zhao was still a little ashamed. This person, sure enough, has lived a much more comfortable life, and even his brain has become stupid! ”

In the latter sentence, Zhao Qian was obviously scolding himself.

It's not because he's kind-hearted, and he suddenly feels a chill in his heart. If one day the border is lost and the army of the Nanjin Kingdom attacks this city, it will be difficult to survive according to his practice of not leaving a hand for himself!

couldn't help but shudder secretly, Zhao Qian hurriedly threw this terrible thought out of his mind, and then continued: "Zhao has been in business for many years, and he has some connections everywhere. It is still possible to buy some food from other cities at a low price. ”

"In that case, I'll trouble you. The silver tickets you returned before can be regarded as being used to buy food! ”

Although he knew that even if he did what Zhao Qian said, it would only support him for a while longer, but at the moment, Yu Panxi couldn't find any other way, so he readily agreed.

It's just that after she left the silver ticket and left the shop, Zhao Qian couldn't sit still at all. After realizing the thought that suddenly came to him, he immediately began to prepare for his "back road". Even if the Hu family has some heritage, whether it is food or silver, he has to prepare another one for his family.

There was a lot of commotion in soup kitchens today. Because there was only this porridge shack, and the refugees were so hungry along the way, when they heard that someone was giving porridge, almost half of the refugees in the city ran towards this side.

The magnificence of the scene naturally disturbed the ladies and ladies of the official families in the city, many of whom had relatively strong family backgrounds.

"What's the matter with those refugees, could it be that they finally can't bear to start a riot?"

This thought flashed through almost everyone's mind. But then sent someone out to inquire, and everyone suddenly realized that it was the wife of the loyal general, Yu, who couldn't bear to see the refugees hungry and cold, so they set up a porridge shed and began to give porridge, and even went to supervise it in person.

Now, those who can't bear it will become them.

Most of these people who live in high-ranking families have a little more thoughts than ordinary people. As early as when Yu Panxi first arrived in this city and deliberately made such a big move, they were all thinking about how to get close to her.

After all, the reputation of the loyal and brave general is still there, and this Yu clan is deeply favored by him. Although they are far away from Kyoto, if they can get a few kind words from this loyal and brave general, or climb this relationship, then the children of the family will not be considered to be on the rise?

Yu Panxi has always been very clear about the thoughts of these people in her heart, just to avoid these troubles, she usually hides in the county order's mansion and is very simple, and these people rarely see her even if they try their best. At this time, I learned that she was giving porridge to those refugees, and she was even willing to deign to go, so naturally they couldn't sit still anymore.
