"What does Daddy think about this?" , Huo Yunsheng stood in a proper manner and asked Huo Zhun.

Since the news that Shen Yuanzhou was going back to Beijing came, the people of the Huo family began to find out about Ancheng, and the flying pigeon was handed to the Huo Mansion.

After Huo Yunsheng received the letter and discussed with Huo Zhun, he decided to hold his troops first. But at this time, it has been two days since Shen Yuanzhou returned to Beijing, and the court has not mentioned this matter, and the emperor's attitude has been clear. After all, he couldn't hold his breath and quickly asked his father what his plan was.

"Did you really throw it through a secret passage"? Huo Zhun is a civil servant, although he has cultivated his two sons into military generals, he still does not know much about war defense. Looking at what was said in the letter, it seems that the matter of secret passages is very important, so there is this question.

Huo Yunsheng said: "That's what Huo Yu said. This matter is not serious, it is not light, and the saint does not mention it, and the son is puzzled. ”

Huo Zhun smiled with a full temperament: "The emperor didn't mention it, I'm just afraid that it is to prevent my Huo family from making a big fuss, and I will be in charge of Na'an City." took the opportunity to take An Cheng in his hand, and injured the Shen family. Huangkou child, how can I, Huo Zhun, be such a shallow person. But how much wind and waves can be shaken out by slapping the ground. ”

"What my father said is reasonable, and my son is even more worried that the saint suspects this matter, and it is my Huo family's hands and feet."

"Lang'er is worried, you hand over the book Yunyang, let him pay attention to what is abnormal over there. A monthly ration of 20,000 people is not a small number. Since someone lit the fire, let's find a way to make him burn more vigorously and burn through the first line of Wuzhou. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know if it's really the incompetence of the lord of Ancheng, which let the Hu people take advantage of the loophole. There are still people who kill two birds with one stone and want to provoke my Huo family. Don't you think that this means can make people bite the hook. I'm afraid that the emperor is more anxious than me, and he is busy trying to find ways to make up for the shortage of grain and grass. Merchants are heavy on profits, and prices in the northwest will inevitably rise. Losing some grain and grass is a big deal, and it is a capital crime for the people to not live well. It doesn't matter if he's a plan or not, Sheng Er only needs to calculate it. ”

"Yes."

The snow outside the door is fluttering, and some people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows in their lives are shattered between these few words of talk and laughter.

There was nothing to do in the past two days, Xue Ling went out to buy a lot of silver needles and came back, wanting to study by himself to fill the vacancy in the rabbit. Unexpectedly, this spring looks simple, but the mechanism is very complicated, she tried for a while, but she still hasn't filled it in.

It's no wonder that this thing looks small, but its strength is not inferior to that of a bow and crossbow. Groping for the rabbit in his hand, he thought of Jiang Yuli again, and he didn't know if he should pick it up and go in for another night.

She was thinking about it when Mrs. Su pushed the door with a brocade box and walked in.

Looking at the things in her hand, she smiled and said, "It's two pieces of good jade, where did they come from, and show me." ”

Xue Ling smiled and didn't answer, he spared the red rope on the rabbit twice in his fingers, and went to pick up the tools and drawings on the ground.

Mrs. Su didn't feel embarrassed, and said, "Luo'er went out for a trip, and she was really rich." With this sable on his body, I am afraid that there are not many pieces in the inner courtyard of the palace. I was told to give something today, but I couldn't take it out. ”

Xue Ling was only wearing a single coat, and the sable fur that Shi Qi gave her was draped over her shoulders. Shi Qi this kid really didn't boast, the weather was cold, if he went out to hide this big coat, he could wear a spring shirt inside. In this house, the charcoal fire has saved a few large pots. She untied the tie and lazily put it on her shoulder, feeling a light sweat.

Mrs. Su has always had something to say like this, Xue Ling couldn't tell whether it was teasing or complimenting, and she didn't bother to dwell on this question, so she asked, "Madame has something to give me." ”

Mrs. Su picked up a chair and sat down, put the brocade box on the table and knocked, "It's not a good thing, it's almost spring." Looking at a few pieces of jewelry, it looks good, and it is used to add joy to Luo'er, and in addition, this is the silver of Anseong. The Su family has always been fair in business, and whoever it should belong to is who's it. Luo'er contributed, the Su family contributed, the number of five or five, you and a little bit. ”

Xue Ling felt puzzled, she hadn't been back for a few days, and she shouldn't have been able to end the matter over there so quickly. So he stepped forward and picked up the box, opened it and saw that there were some daughter's things on the upper floor. Mrs. Su's vision is excellent, and she does have some preference for the things of the bead ring, and her heart wells up with some joy. Looking at the silver ticket again, it is obvious that it is not the number of five or five that Mrs. Su said.

Xue Ling didn't care about money, but he was familiar with the military usage, so how much grain and grass Ancheng should have, there was a number. If you pay three times the price, it's much more than that. So in between, there was something else she didn't know.

So he put the box back on the table, looked at Mrs. Su and said, "If Madam can't turn around, it's nothing if you don't give it to Yuan for the time being, so why bother to fool me with a random number." ”

Mrs. Su seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and said without changing her face: "Luo'er is so smart, how can I fool it." However, since Luo'er is already so smart, she should know: since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, and businessmen have not fought with the people. The biggest advantage of my Su family's survival to this day is that I don't go to the last copper plate. ”

Xue Ling didn't answer, she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Mrs. Su stood up and said, "The Su family's business in the northwest has been completely withdrawn, and all the materials have only increased by five cents. The gadgets I have at hand are still my private money. Next time, I won't lose money." With that, he walked out.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Mrs. Su didn't bring the door, the wind and snow poured in, blowing Xue Ling's whole body cold, and hurriedly went to close the door.

At this time, Xue Ling began to feel uneasy, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it. There was no rumor of the robbery of grain and grass in Ancheng, which showed that things were as she expected, Wei Long was really suspicious of the Huo family everywhere, and he didn't dare to show such a trivial matter.

Since he didn't dare to say it, he must be trying to find a way to raise grain and grass at this moment to make up for the deficit in Ancheng. And they didn't dare to transport it with great fanfare, so they could only take it from the people on the front line in Wuzhou. The Su family has done all the business in the world, how can they not eat the meat that reaches their mouths.

She originally thought that selling three times was an underestimate, but she didn't expect Mrs. Su to say that it only rose by five cents, and only a few days later, even the people on the front line of Ningcheng withdrew. No matter how you calculate, it is impossible to raise enough grain and grass in Ancheng so quickly.

So, why? What made Mrs. Su escape faster than a rabbit. What's wrong with her?

Thinking about it until the evening, he still didn't understand the reason, and he couldn't talk about his sleepiness, Xue Ling studied the ink, and the third watch was still there to draw a hundred family names. This is an obsession in recent years, and she can't afford to lose that family name.

Kong Cao Yanhua, Jin Wei Tao Jiang. As soon as the pen in his hand sketched the hook of the Wei character, the door was kicked open, Xue Ling's hand shook, and a large cloud of ink stained on the paper.

It was Su Yuanyu who broke in. But it's not Su Yuanxuan she is familiar with.
