As soon as the New Year passed, the weather gradually warmed up, and Shen Wenyu said in his letter that Xiao Tart Chongyuan obviously came less often.

Feng Li said that after the beginning of spring, they will reclaim more land outside the pass.

Shen Wenyu wrote to ask Song Ning what to plant outside the Guan.

In Song Ning's memory, the northwest is dominated by pasta, which should be wheat, millet, and sorghum, which are easy to live and have high yields.

But cotton is the best.

In February, Song Ning and Sun Weili calculated the accounts of last year's cotton together, and the cotton from the cotton mill was sold out, and many shops in Jiangnan booked with them this year.

"This year, every household will plant cotton if they leave suitable grain and public grain." Sun Wei said.

Song Ning objected: "When everyone mentions Jinan Mansion, they can only think of cotton, we have a lot of good things, and the dates sold very well last autumn." ”

"Yes, it's still Lord Song who is right."

When spring planting is carried out, there are many fewer people who grow rice.

In addition, most of the people working in the fields are women, half-grown children, and the elderly, and the men are working in several fields.

The half-grown children have spring break, ten days in a row, only half a day of classes every day, and go home before noon to do work for the family.

In April, Bai Jiaojiao secretly went to Pingliang, and when she got there, Shen Wenyu happened to go out on patrol.

She and Forsythia and six guards stood outside the barracks, dumbfounded: "Patrol, how long will it take to come back?" ”

"Two rounds around the northwest wall, a month!" The man said, "It's only been two days, why don't you go home first and come back at the end of May?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao responded with a sloppy head, but she was unwilling, and waited on the city wall of the border pass for a day without waiting for Shen Wenyu.

"If I don't go back, my husband will definitely say that I am too anxious and should wait for him to reply." Bai Jiaojiao said, "I'm going to look for him along the side wall." ”

The northwest side wall, north from Datong west to Minzhou, a border wall stretches for more than 1,000 miles.

Bai Jiaojiao sat in a carriage and stopped and stopped, and occasionally showed the identity of the county lord, climbing the wall to see the outside of the gate.

Because after the winter war, there is no grass outside, and it is desolate, but there are no people in sight.

They walked for two days, lived in a county called Zhenning, and found a very nice inn to live in.

Bai Jiaojiao crossed her fingers to count the time: "We've been gone for eleven days?" ”

"Yes. According to your plan, walk for another five days, and we can turn back. Forsythia smiled and said, "Don't you really need to write to adults?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao thought for a while and said, "Let's go for one, otherwise she will definitely clean me up when I go back." ”

"And my peony garden, I haven't been at home for a month, and I don't know what happened."

said that he wrote a letter to Song Ning to report his safety under the lamp.

"Ming'er, slave and Sifang went to find the express shop."

Early the next morning, when Forsythia went to deliver the letter and returned, she went to the street to buy baked cakes, paid and was about to leave, when suddenly she saw a figure standing in the alley, she was stunned for a moment, and said in all directions: "Look at the man in the blue robe." ”

When the four sides looked in the line of sight, they saw a man standing in the alley, who didn't do anything, just glanced back at them and turned his head away.

Quartet exclaimed: "Uncle, is this uncle?" ”

"No, it's not my uncle." Forsythia pulled the Quartet, "Uncle can't be here." ”

Looking closely, I felt that it was indeed not: "How can there be such a similar person, are we wrong?" ”

For the man turned his head again and went deeper into the alley.

"You follow him, and I'll go find the county lord." Forsythia Road.

Forsythia went back and called Bai Jiaojiao, Bai Jiaojiao didn't comb her hair, she ran over with her clothes on, but there was no person at the entrance of the alley, and even the Quartet was gone, Forsythia and Bai Jiaojiao looked for a long time, and found the Quartet who was knocked out in the back alley.

The two woke him up, covered the back of his bleeding head, and said, "I, I just saw that he was leaving, so I followed him, but I didn't expect someone to follow behind." ”

Bai Jiaojiao's voice was solemn: "You do see clearly that it is very similar to your uncle?" ”

"Exactly the same, right, exactly the same?" Forsythia asked Quartet.

Quartet is not very sure, after all, he saw a side face.

Bai Jiaojiao's heart was beating, could it be Song Shi'an? Song Shi'an did not defect but lived in Zhenning?

But so many people are looking for him, and others have not left the northwest, so there is no reason why they can't be found all the time.

"Don't worry, I'll write to my husband and tell her about it."

When the letter was delivered to the Torture Hall, it happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival.

Song Ning dropped a zongzi on the table and handed the letter to Zhao Yi dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yi took the letter and read it.

The people at the table also looked at Song Ning in surprise, and Song Yuanshi said, "Didn't you say that the two letters were sent back by the county lord?" ”

"It's her." Song Ning said, "She said that Forsythia and Sifang saw a person on the street who looked exactly like me. ”

The people at the table were shocked, and Ma Santong exclaimed: "What place?" ”

"Qingyang's Zhenning."

Ma San Channel: "I've passed by over there, and I haven't seen this person either." ”

"It can't be true, it's been a year, Song Shi'an must be dead. Even if he didn't die, he should be pinched in Xiao Tart Chongyuan's hands. "Ma San Channel.

"Didn't you say that you went over there to marry a princess?" Lu Miaomiao asked.

Zhao Yi put the letter and said to Song Ning: "Don't panic. ”

"First of all, if it's really him, it must be just Zhenning."

"He disappeared for a year and then appeared in Zhenning and was seen by the maid in Pingyang, so there should be a follow-up."

"Don't be in a hurry, even if he returns to Beijing to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, you are not without room for maneuver."

Zhao Yi's words made everyone on the table breathe a sigh of relief, and Yang asked, "So, what are we going to do now, what are we going to do, what are we going to do, if we ...... What if he really comes back? ”

"Find someone first, don't let him be found by others." After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Yan Feng at the other table, "You go and arrange it, and then increase the number of people." ”

The wind should be.

When Song Shi'an disappeared before, Zhao Yi had already sent a few people to look for him, and at that time he purely wanted to confirm whether he was really treason and defected to Xiao Tzu Chongyuan.

But then Song Ning appeared, and he sent additional manpower to confirm that Song Ning was a fake.

Knowing Song Ning last year, he sent a lot of people, in order to protect Song Ning, he could seize the initiative by finding Song Shi'an first.

"Since he's fine, why don't you contact Lord Song?" Song Yuanshi felt strange, "Zimu is actually timid, once he has such a situation, he should ask for help." ”

Song Ning thought thoughtfully: "You say, will he just enter the customs to do things, in fact, he has been living outside the customs?" ”

Otherwise, it can't be explained, so many people can't find the fact that he can't be found.

"Possibly." Zhao Yi said, "In short, don't be afraid. ”

Song Ning was indeed not afraid, but she was afraid that there would not be enough time.

She wants a strong backing, and Shandong has not yet achieved the prosperity she wants.

"Mother, give me these rice dumplings, and I'll go to send a festival to Lord Wang." Song Ning said.

Yang said: "Just mention a few zongzi?" Is it too little? ”

"I also made mung bean cake, go get it for you?" Lu Zhang's said.

Song Ning should be, carrying zongzi and mung bean cake to find Wang Fuxian.

The implementation of the new policy in Jinan is very good, and she wants Wang Fuxian to implement it in Shandong.

She would ask people to spread the word about her abilities among the people.

If you want to mythologize a person, it is very simple in this day and age.

"I've seen several new policies, and I want to talk to you if you don't say it." Wang Fuxian said, "In this way, how about I issue a document and let the state capitals come to Jinan Mansion for a meeting?" ”

"No matter who wants to make political achievements, you have a ready-made method, and you have the support of your own officials, no one will disagree."

Song Ning personally peeled the zongzi for Wang Fuxian: "My mother's zongzi, you can eat it." ”

Wang Fuxian wants to ask if your mother is dead, why is it ...... But knowing that Song Ning didn't confess his relatives indiscriminately, there should be other hidden secrets, so he didn't dig deeper.

"You kid, I'll just eat it myself, why don't you show a sloppy face?" Wang Fuxian laughed.

Song Ning handed the mung bean cake again: "What you said, I am filial to you by peeling zongzi for you, and it is too raw to say that you have to slap the horse." ”

Wang Fuxian laughed and said to him: "To say something out of sight, Song Ge Lao is not going to be able to do it this year, you are doing so much to help your father?" ”

"I don't have the ability, but I don't want to drag my father back."

Wang Fuxian said: "Do it well, this year's evaluation is excellent, and next year's excellence, you will be able to move back the year after tomorrow." There was no need to worry about Song Ge Lao before, he had a relationship with the saint, and he would not be dismissed in the past three or five years. ”

However, although he was not dismissed, because of the military salary, his position was almost empty.

Wang Fuxian thought for a while and asked, "You go back, what should I do here?" ”

Song Ning said: "The prince doesn't need me to take care of it, it's the prince who takes care of me." ”

"Then let's do a good job this year."

Song Ning said: "I really want to go back to this matter, my lord, I am very beautiful in Jinan now, and I have become a pawn again when I go back to the capital." ”

"That's true." Wang Fuxian said, "But it doesn't matter if you are cheeky, you can bear any grievances here." ”

As he spoke, both of them laughed.
