Chapter 55: The Military Rations Business

"You are so smart, naturally you will not let others have such a misunderstanding......

After Shen Xun said this, he didn't say much, and only occasionally gave Rong Yu cloth vegetables.

While eating with food, Rong Yu thought: Maybe it was her question that reminded Shen Xun of a sad matter, so he was sad......

And he said no more.

The two silently finished their meal.

Because it had been agreed in advance that Rong Yu would entertain this meal, it was Rong Yu's account.

The beautiful little girl behind the counter asked Rong Yu while dialing the abacus beads, "I don't know Miss and Young Master Shen?" ”

Rong Yu smiled and said, "I am Young Master Shen's cousin. ”

She thought silently: Shen Lang you want to marry, the wife he will marry in the future is now in Quanzhou, thousands of miles away from you......

The girl listened to Rong Yu's words, looked at her with a strange look, and said, "You high-ranking ladies are not happy, and you like to pretend to be confused with understanding......

"Don't you know ......"

Rong Yu asked puzzled, "What do I not know?" ”

At this time, Shen Xun also walked towards the counter.

The girl looked at Shen Xun, smiled slyly at Rong Yu, and said in a low voice, "I won't tell you ......"

At this time, Shen Xun walked to the counter, and he asked Rong Yu, "What did you say?" ”

Before Rong Yu could speak, the girl had already looked at Shen Xun affectionately and said, "The slave family wants to ask, can the military rations in the second half of this year be escorted by Shen Lang personally?" ”

Shen Xun paused before replying, "It's not ......"

"The people of the Shen family will not send military rations in the future, and the saint asked the Xu family to take over this business......

Rong Yu and the girl exclaimed in unison: "Huh?! ”

Rong Yu thought quickly: The time when the emperor gave the military food business to the Xu family was several years earlier than in his previous life......

The emperor has the intention to launch the second northern expedition, and it is common sense to infer that the great war is imminent, and he will not easily move grain and grass......

What changed his decision?

Either something went wrong with the Shen family, or the concubine and the Xu family worked hard......

The actions of the concubine and the Xu family should be the same as in the previous life......

Then, the problem lies with the Shen family......

Compared with the previous life, the only variable in the Shen family is her grandson, who has been a person in two lives......

What did she do to affect the Shen family?

The more Rong Yu thought about it, the more frightened she became: she donated 100,000 taels of gold on behalf of Rong Hua, revealing the Shen family's wealth......

There is a word called rich and rivaling the country......

The emperor would never let any merchant sit in the ......

On the carriage back to the general's mansion, Rong Yu said to Shen Xun apologetically: "It's all my fault for being careless and rashly donating 100,000 taels of gold...... made the saint suspicious and lost the military food business that the Shen family had been doing for decades......"

Shen Xun smiled disapprerovingly: "How can I blame you? ”

"Zhengtong Silver is government-run, how much money the Shen family has, the saint knows very well......"

"The saint has the heart to raise the Xu family, and the military food business will belong to the Xu family sooner or later."

"It's also a good thing that the Shen family can take the opportunity to get rid of this business, not to mention the profit, it will take a lot of thought and time......

Rong Yu knew that Shen Xun was worried about her guilt and self-blame, so he deliberately said it lightly.

It is true that the military ration business is time-consuming and laborious, and there is not much profit.

However, in the eyes of the world, it is the trust of heaven and the grace of the emperor.

The Shen family made a fortune from the military food business back then, and it relied on this shareholder ......

Now that the military food business belongs to the Xu family, in the eyes of the world, the wind direction has changed.

If it is an ordinary businessman, after this great change, he may be in a state of collapse.

But the Shen family's fortune is not exhausted.

Shen Wenshui partnered with Rong Ying to help Duanwang, and the scenery of "North Shen" was undiminished;

Shen Xun married Miss Gan and set sail on the blue sea, and even created the "Southern Shen" that is comparable to the Dragon King of the East China Sea......

Therefore, what she is most worried about at the moment is not the Shen family, but the guards of Shaobeicheng and Tongcheng......

With Shao Beicheng's person, he will definitely refuse to accept substandard military rations, and will take the matter to the emperor......

Now it is the second year of Youning, the emperor and the concubine have not yet separated, even if Shao Beicheng plays, the emperor will not severely punish the Xu family......

If Shao Beicheng insists on speaking for the soldiers and fighting for justice......

Then the emperor will dislike and even suspect him......

And if that......

Rong Yu's heart was agitated.

If that happens, the emperor may deprive Shao Beicheng of his position as the guard of Tongcheng!

It seemed that it was only at this time that she understood what the monk had said to her, "If you wish him to be safe, he will be safe!" ”

She had no ability to change the emperor's mind and make him give up the second northern expedition;

She has no ability to change the outcome of Youning's Northern Expedition......

But, just as she changed Rong Hua's fate, she can change Shao Beicheng's fate!

No matter what method she used, as long as she stopped Shao Beicheng from participating in the Youning Northern Expedition three years later, he would not die!

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion, and Guo'er helped Rong Yu get out of the carriage.

They returned to the backyard, to Rong Yu's surprise, there was a meal in the main hall of the backyard, but no one moved the chopsticks, not only Rong Hua and Shao Nanyan, but even Shao Beicheng was waiting for her......

Shao Nanyan pulled Rong Yu to sit down, and said angrily: "The third brother heard that you are better today, so I specially asked Mrs. Peng to cook two more dishes for dinner......

"You're good, I'm going to the restaurant with your cousin!"

Rong Yu felt that Shao Nanyan's words sounded very wrong.

It's as if she and Shen Xun went to the restaurant, which is a matter that can't live in Shao Beicheng......

She looked at Shao Beicheng, and Shao Beicheng also raised his eyes to look at her.

Maybe she thought too much, and she felt that there seemed to be a bit of resentment in her eyes......

She immediately withdrew her gaze and ate silently.

Shao Beicheng and Shao Nanyan misunderstood her Xinyi Shao Beicheng, and they still have to be clarified as soon as possible......

Otherwise, things are already going a little weird......

Shao Beicheng, a wood-like young man, actually found a maid for her and waited for her to eat......

Rong Yu thought about things in his heart, and after chewing a few bites, he realized the taste of the food in his mouth.

It is oily and salty, and difficult to swallow.

She looked at the table, four dishes and one soup.

The four dishes are stir-fried cabbage, stewed radish, shredded pork with green peppers, braised chicken nuggets, and the soup is shredded pork soup with pickled cabbage.

The decent steward of Rongfu can afford to eat such dishes every day......

And it tastes even more delicious......

She looked at the people at the same table again.

Shao Beicheng, Rong Hua and Shao Nanyan all ate with relish.

Rong Yu's heart was sour, although he was not hungry, although he was not used to eating, he still ate in a big gulp.

Shao Beicheng, he is the son of the Guogong Mansion and the only son of the county lord, and he is the little Langjun who was awarded the title of general at the age of fifteen.

For example, today Chengping, extravagance has become a trend, and Zhumen's wine and meat stink.

But the people who guard the land of the Great Zhou, generations of Shao family members have eaten such meals......

She can find a way to stop Shao Beicheng from going to the battlefield and save his life......

But, is that kind of "living" what Shao Beicheng wants?

He will be willing to fight in blood, even if he dies, he will still be glorious!

Rong Yu looked at Shao Beicheng again.

Then he filled the bowl of soup, raised the bowl and covered his face, and tears fell silently into the bowl.

He is the young man she haunts and haunts her heart......

She never imagined that one day when she finally had the opportunity to make up for her regrets, she chose to do nothing and watch him die......
