Chapter 39: The War Is Fighting
Rong Ruo wandered around the county for many days, trying to find new business opportunities, but found nothing.
I was thinking that after coming to Yuxianglou to eat, I went back to warm the quilt, and I didn't want to see a seven or eight-year-old child in front of Yuxianglou, kneeling and begging the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, please, use me!"
"We don't lack manpower, go and go, ask elsewhere, don't disturb our business!"
The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently, trying to get rid of the child.
"What's going on?"
Rong Ruo stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Young Master Rong is here!"
When the shopkeeper saw Rong Ruo, he immediately changed his face.
"This kid wants to do things in our Yuxiang Building, and the son also knows, how can a doll like him do things in our restaurant?"
The shopkeeper explained to Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruo glanced at the child, although he was thin, his clothes were quite clean, but such a young child had to come out to work, and he really responded to the sentence that the poor man's child was in charge early.
Rong Ruo turned around, took out a tael of silver from his pocket, handed it to the child, and then entered Yuxiang Building.
There are too many poor people in the world, and that's all she can do.
"Have you heard, the Shuofang county town in the north has fought with the Xiongnu."
As soon as Rong Ruo sat down, he heard a table next to him speak.
"No, the heavy snow came early this year, and I heard that many cattle, sheep and horses died of starvation. These wild people, who don't have enough things at home, will come and rob us! ”
The people at the table slapped the table indignantly and scolded angrily.
"It is time for General Wei to directly lead the troops to kill the Huns' lair and destroy them to prevent future troubles!"
"If you say extinguish, you will perish! I heard that the Shuofang County Guard didn't wait for the arrival of reinforcements from General Wei of Yanmen County, and they suffered a defeat, otherwise why would there suddenly be so many homeless beggars here? ”
Fighting in the North?
When Rong Ruo heard this, he didn't have the heart to eat.
The word war is really a bit far away for Rong Ruo, who has always lived in peacetime.
"Two brothers, take the liberty to excuse me, when was the war you just talked about?"
The two people at the table next to them were chatting happily, and they were suddenly interrupted by Rong Ruo, and they suddenly looked at them with some displeasure.
Just looked up and saw that Rong Ruo was not very old, well-dressed, and good-looking, so the two of them took their looks again and returned to normal, and one of them even opened his mouth to reply:
"Naturally, it's the matter of the past two days, and it is estimated that with the effort we are talking about, those Hun savages will slaughter another town!"
Slaughtering another town?
Rong Ruo frowned when he heard this.
"Didn't you say that there were reinforcements from General Wei?"
Rong Ruo asked puzzled.
"Little brother, it looks like you haven't been out before!"
Rong Ruo nodded embarrassedly.
For Rong Ruo, who walked through the south and the north in the previous life, Rong Ruo in this life really can't be regarded as having gone out.
Besides, she is a village aunt in Linjia Village, and she came out to mingle, and it is already very good to be able to mix like today, and she is not hungry, how can she have such a great ability to know about national affairs.
"Last year, the Huns attacked this Yanmen County, and this year they turned their heads to fight Shuofang County, General Wei was stationed in Yanmen County, so naturally he couldn't personally lead the army to support, in case these Huns went to fight Yanmen County again, wouldn't General Wei be empty?"
"Could it be that apart from General Wei, there is no other available person in our Dachu Imperial Court?"
Rong Ruo remembered what the old storyteller he heard when he first came to the county seat, the fierce general under General Wei.
"You ......"
"Forget it, I told you, you don't understand!"
The man opened his mouth, then waved his hand and said no more.
Others didn't want to say more, and Rong Ruo didn't force it, and when he got out of Yuxiang Building, Rong Ruo went to Kuang Yao's home to find Kuang Yao.
"Why is Childe here!"
Kuang Yao had just waited for his mother to drink the decoction, and after a few months of recuperation, Kuang's mother was already able to get out of bed and do some simple work.
"It's okay, I just haven't seen you for a few days, come and see you!"
Rong Ruo didn't want to talk about the outside situation in front of Kuang's mother, for fear of scaring her.
"There is no good tea at home to entertain the son, the son will take care of it!"
After serving his mother to sleep, Kuang Yao brought Rong Ruo a cup of flower tea made by himself.
After drinking tea, Rong Ruo and Kuang Yao left Kuang's house and came to Rong Ruo's residence.
"Childe, the identity of the Gongsun Nian you asked me to check has been found out!"
Kuang Yao originally planned to look for Rong Ruo in the afternoon, but Rong Ruo happened to find him.
"What identity?"
Rong Ruo looked at Kuang Yao's solemn expression, and was very curious about what kind of background Gongsun Nian had here!
"Gongsun Nian's father, Gongsun Han, is Gu Xianzhi's brother-in-law!"
Rong Ruo couldn't react a little, what did Kuang Yao mean?
Calling my father a brother-in-law, isn't that my brother-in-law?
"Are you saying that Gu Xianzhi is Gongsun Nian's uncle?"
Rong Ruo glanced at Kuang Yao, doesn't this guy know how to continue his family?
"It can also be said that Gongsun Nian was born to a concubine, and Gu Xianzhi's sister is Gongsun Han's wife!"
Kuang Yao lowered his eyes to correct Rong Ruo's understanding.
I see, that's a lot easier.
If Gongsun Nian is Gu Xianzhi's nephew, this is really a bit difficult to do, but it is easy to say if he is not pro.
"It's just that, Childe, this Gu Xianzhi is okay to say, but Gongsun Han's identity has a lot of origins......"
Kuang Yao thought about the results of his inquiry, and he didn't know how to tell Rong Ruo for a while.
He knew that Rong Ruo had a holiday with Gongsun Nian, but now, Gongsun Nian's identity, even if he was just a concubine, was not something they could offend.
"What else is going on?"
Thinking of the arrogance of Sun Nian, Rong Ruo wanted to blow up his face.
"Gongsun Shuo, the prime minister of the dynasty, is the second brother of Gongsun Han!"
"What!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
"You said that the prime minister is the second uncle of Gongsun Nian?"
When Rong Ruo heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva.
This is really a kick on the iron plate.
Rong Ruo pressed his temples with one hand and patted his little heart with the other.
The cowardice that belonged to Lin Lingyue came up again.
Rong Ruo tried hard to suppress the timid emotions that belonged to Lin Lingyue.
What about the prime minister's nephew, not to mention that he is just a concubine's nephew, Rong Ruo doesn't believe that for a grandson, the prime minister will make a big move against her.
Woo, that's the prime minister, you don't need to make a big move, just pinch your fingers, she's like an ant, chirp, it's broken!
Thinking that his life might be in danger, Rong Ruo couldn't sit still anymore.
This was the first time Kuang Yao had watched Rong Ruo be so confused.
"Childe, that Gongsun Nian is studying at Chongming Academy in Longyou County, and Gongsun Han is far away in Shangdang County, as long as we are careful to avoid Gongsun Nian, there will be no problem in thinking about it!"
Kuang Yao spoke his opinion.
That's right, Gongsun Nian doesn't know who she is, and if she wants to find trouble, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
