"Mother, the daughter-in-law is self-saved (I know).

It's just that you are alone with a few children in the family, and we are also a little worried.

In this way, why don't you let Sihuai send you and the children back to your hometown first, and then let him come back and go to the capital with the uncle and the third uncle.

Anyway, my hometown is not far from here.

There is still time to do it.

In this way, the uncle and the third uncle can also rest assured. ”

Wen Hu is quite caring, although he knows that the possibility of Qiao Mu and them going back alone is very low, but he still said that he wants his husband to send Qiao Mu and them back to their hometown, and they can also talk about filial piety.

Her husband has nothing else to do except for business, so he can only make up his mind on filial piety, so as to pave the way for his eldest son in advance.

In any case, it is better to have a filial merchant father than only one merchant father.

"That's fine, Sihuai, you can go to the county's dart bureau later, see if the road back to our hometown is unstable recently, if you can still ask the dart bureau to come with us."

If there is a danger to the bandits.

Then please take us around. ”

In ancient times, it was not as safe to travel long distances as later, the officials were better, and the probability of encountering danger on the official road was relatively low, but Qiao Mu and they were obviously not qualified to take the official road when they returned to their hometown now.

Therefore, it is natural to be wary in advance.

And the dart bureau goes south and north, not only has a little more information channels than them, but some dart games may also have a certain connection with the mountain bandits in some places, or can sell face or something, you can pay a little money to buy the road and pass smoothly, so that the two sides will not fight, and even hurt people's lives.

Although this kind of thing can be regarded as fornication bandits in detail, but the current situation is like this, and the imperial court does not have the energy to comprehensively suppress bandits, so naturally it can only turn a blind eye to this situation and treat it as not knowing.

After all, if you take it as a matter of knowing.

Turning back to the mountain bandits to kill people, the local officials have to be held accountable for the murder cases that come out, and maybe the officials will be lost if they die a little more, so why bother?

It's good to ask for some money for safety.

That's why arbor said so.

"Mother, I'm afraid there's something wrong.

I received a newspaper yesterday, which said that there has been a drought in Nanhui Mansion for more than six months, and now it has entered autumn, and it has not rained yet, and it is estimated that this season's grain harvest is out of order, and it is not clear whether the refugees or anything because of the local concealment, but according to some past inferences, I am afraid that the total number of refugees will not be less than 100,000, and it is very close to my hometown.

I'm really worried about you.

Why don't you come with me to the capital?

As for the matter of the imperial examination for a few children, I will see if I can spend some money and find a relationship, so that they can take the exam on the spot in the capital.

It's just to sell some favors. ”

Wen Junsi had been considering the situation before.

I was thinking about whether it was possible for my connections to help a few children in my family change their household registration for the exam.

Therefore, there was no time to persuade in time.

However, the drought in Nanhui Prefecture is indeed real, and once there is a drought there, there will be big problems in the security of several nearby provinces, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no homeless people to raise troops.

So to be on the safe side.

His idea is that he would rather not take the exam, wait another year, and not rush to the exam, and if something really happens there, maybe the exam will be postponed, and the exam will not be until February next year, even if the family goes to the capital together, they will be able to go back in January.

Will there be anything going on in Nanhui by then.

Whether there is a soldier or not, it is already counted.

It's okay to gamble so early at all.

"It's been six months since the drought in Nanhui Province.

Why is there no news about such a big thing? ”

Qiao Mu muttered, and her second son Wen Junhuai also muttered: "No wonder the price of food has risen!"

I said that the autumn harvest is approaching, why the local grain price has risen a little bit, so that's the case.

Big brother, why didn't you tell me about this.

Tell me I'd better stock up on some food in advance.

Fortunately, it's not too late, it seems that the family's grain this season can't be sold, and they have to be saved. ”

Wen Junhuai didn't want to hoard and be surprised, but their family has a large population, and they usually consume a lot of food, plus there are two wineries at home, if the price of this grain rises, then the cost of their winery will also rise, isn't this a lot of money?

"Nanhui Mansion has been concealing the report, it is said that there was a rain in July, and then the prefect over there thought that the drought could be alleviated, so they kept pressing the news and did not let it be reported, but who knows, after a drizzle, there is not a drop of rain.

As a result, the more serious the situation, the more the prefect will not dare to report it, and the more it does not report, the more serious the situation will be.

In the end, it was dragged into this appearance.

Now it's okay, I guess I have to sacrifice him to the sky.

The governor should have arrived there now, but whether the situation can be alleviated depends on when the disaster relief funds and food from above will arrive, and this kind of thing is estimated to drag on for a while, and it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future, so let's not take risks.

Mother, just listen to me.

Let's go to the capital first. ”

Wen Junsi also went to investigate the situation in Nanhui Mansion after receiving the report from the mansion two days ago, and although he has not received much news now, he can also prove the severity of the situation there from all aspects.

Therefore, he naturally didn't want to let Qiao Mu take risks.

Don't talk about other aspects, if his mother accidentally dies in an accident this time, then he will have to worry for three years, three years later, the ghost still remembers him a small county order, let alone a promotion, it is estimated that he will not even be able to keep the position of this county order, and three years later, there will be a new batch of jinshi to elect officials, how can he still have the qualifications for the choice of old bacon without a background.

"The situation should only be more serious than the outbreak, not lighter, it seems that there is indeed a risk, then go to the capital first, anyway, the county test is held every year, and the children in the family are also young, so don't worry, it's more important to be safe."

The children in the family are not yet sixteen years old, so they are not in a hurry, no matter what they do, they must live first, so Qiao Mu quickly decided to listen to the boss.

Let's go to the capital first, and then talk about other things.

Several people present also knew that their eldest brother would definitely not lie, and they were naturally unwilling to take risks in this kind of life-related matter.

So no one has an opinion this time.

No one had any other ideas.

Everyone quickly agreed, and each went back to talk to their children while they began to put the finishing touches on the move.

As for the finishing touches?

Wen Junsi is a local county magistrate, so he can't just leave with a pat on the ass, and he has to hand over to another new county magistrate who came over in two days.

Therefore, the ledger and the like must be done in advance, and no leaks can be caught.

Wen Junhuai has purchased a lot of properties here in the past three years, although these properties can't all be sold, but they have to be handed over to the right people, trustworthy subordinates to manage, and the income from the land bought here, houses and the like have to find a trustworthy person to manage and collect.

The third child has nothing to do, just ready to pack up, and can wait to go together.

This is just the three men in the family, what furniture and dowries are left, children's clothes, food, dry food on the road, etc., etc., a lot of things to worry about, all have to be negotiated by several women in the family.

So how can you not be busy?

It's just that Qiao Mu is old and senior, so he only needs to sort out things like his dowry inner treasury a little, and he doesn't have to worry about other things at all.

And her three daughters-in-law are all so busy that they can't find the southeast and northwest, among which the second family, Wen Hu, is the busiest, because her family has the most messy industries and the most things.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of handmade soaps, as well as handmade soap workshop workers to clean up and relocate.

She's not the busiest, who's the busiest?

But she's busy and happy.

After all, more things also mean more assets.

More assets will be busy.

If you have a futon at home.

That's not a rush at all.
