This is the second fire incident that Yan Qingge has experienced since his rebirth.

These two fire incidents have one thing in common, that is, they did not happen at all before Yan Qingge was reborn.

The only fire she has an impression of was that in the first year of her birth of Zhu Ming, an oil mill in the outer city burned down due to improper operation.

The outer city is far from the inner city, and it is blocked by a wall, and it is absolutely impossible to burn here unless the fire is strong and the wind is strong. In their place, they could only vaguely see that the sky in the direction of the outer city was faintly red, and it was not as obvious as the last time the Wei family was on fire.

But today, the Hai family was raided, and there was a sudden fire, and it was a little strange to think about it. Thinking about this matter made her a little creepy.

Before she was reborn, she was an ordinary lady and lady in the house, and she was blind and ignorant of things outside the house, so she was also extraordinarily happy, and she never had any major worries. But after being reborn, she knew more and more things, and she became more and more worried about the future.

"Ruyi, let's go to bed later tonight and see how it goes." She was worried.

waited until the second half of the night, Yan Qingge's head was sleepy little by little, and he saw that the sky outside was dark, and there was no sign of fire, so he said to Ruyi: "Sleep!" ”

Let's hope she's just a false alarm.

The next morning, Yan Qingge rarely didn't get up on time, and slept until nearly noon.

She rubbed her eyes and summoned Ruyi to dress and wash her.

"What's the matter in the morning?" She asked casually.

"Nothing! I inquired about the place where the fire caught fire, and it was a branch of Hai's Pharmacy, and all the medicinal materials in it were burned out. As soon as Ruyi finished replying, he heard the frost outside say through the curtain: "Miss, the little prince Yan has sent a letter." ”

Yan Qingge said: "Hand the letter in." ”

She sat on the dresser, let Ruyi comb her hair, opened the letter and read it. She has been panicking since last night, and she always feels that something is going to happen. Hai's pharmacy was on fire, and she was in no mood to ask for details, it was just that the Hai family wanted to burn the incriminating evidence, or there was something else dirty in it, so she only looked at two lines, Yan Qingge stood up suddenly, Ruyi's hand didn't grasp it, Yan Qingge's unpicked green silk slid down his shoulders like a waterfall, and hung straight down to his waist and hips.

Ruyi looked at Yan Qingge's expression and knew that something was wrong. She hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

He ...... He...... Brother Xuan is going on an expedition. Yan Qingge said speechlessly.

In the past few years, she accompanied Shui Ying and Ling Xiao, experienced the years when their family went on the expedition, and knew how difficult Shui Ying and Ling Xiao's life was. But she didn't expect it to be her turn.

The Shui family and the Ling family are both from military merits, but the Yan Wangfu is not.

It's just that since the old prince passed away, Prince Yan has been in charge of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the world has gradually forgotten about this matter, but the people in the court have not forgotten. As Yan Xiuyu grew up, he was sent out to fight, and sooner or later it would happen.

Yan Qingge panicked for a while, although before she was reborn, Yan Xiuyu had almost won a hundred battles, traveled on the battlefield, killed countless enemies, and once had a derogatory title of "Little Yama", which became a compliment with his repeated miraculous achievements. However, this life is completely different from the last.

At that time, he caused a big disaster in Beijing and was forced to go to the battlefield, but in this life, he was ordered by the emperor.

Ruyi panicked, swords and guns have no eyes, went to the battlefield, how many people can come back?

"Which side is my uncle fighting with, and how long will it take to come back?" Ruyi asked.

"It's the military intelligence from the north." Yan Qingge covered his chest, and felt uncomfortable for a while: "The 30,000 cavalry of the barbarian land went south, occupied the land of Sanfu, and looted and burned wherever they passed, leaving no chickens and dogs." The news only reached the capital last night, and the saint was furious and ordered troops overnight. Of the three prefectures that were occupied, one of them was in Qingzhou......"

"Doesn't this mean that uncle, they are also in danger?" Ruyi immediately thought of Le Yi, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

The blow to Yan Qingge was twofold, not only was his fiancé going to the battlefield, but even his uncle was in the middle of the war.

"Miss, don't worry, my uncle and uncle have their own natural appearances, and they will be fine." At this time, Ruyi can only comfort Yan Qingge and herself like this.

Yan Qingge was very disappointed, when this letter arrived, Yan Xiuyu had already opened it.

Yesterday, Yan Xiuyu invited her to go out to enjoy the lanterns and spend the Lantern Festival together. She came up with a small temperament, and felt that she had seen Yan Xiuyu a little too much this year, and wanted to dry him, but when she saw the girl's reserve, she didn't agree. I didn't think that such a thing would happen in just one night.

As soon as she thought of this, she regretted that her bowels were broken, and her tears fell like beads.

Seeing Yan Qingge sobbing and crying, Ruyi was frightened.

Usually Yan Qingge shows a steady and plain appearance, even more than most adults, Ruyi still sees her crying for the first time.

After crying for a while, Yan Qingge said, "Fetch water, I'll wash my face." ”

There is no regret medicine in the world, and since things have become like this, it is useless to cry again.

After applying a hot towel to his face, Yan Qingge changed into plain clothes that were easy to walk in, and said, "Let's go out." ”

Ruyi said: "Where is the eldest lady going?" ”

"Go to the barry."

The Yan family has a Zhuangzi, and after the rent of grain is paid every year, what cannot be eaten will be pulled to the grain store to sell. However, it is now a year later, and Zhuangzi's grain has long been sold out, and what is being sold now is collected from other places.

The grain depot is in the outer city, and it takes more than half an hour to arrive by horse-drawn carriage.

The shopkeeper of the grain shop didn't know Yan Qingge, but before leaving, Yan Qingge took the housekeeper of Yan's mansion with him.

On the way, Yan Qingge didn't say his purpose, he kept silent, and when he entered the shop, the shopkeeper of the grain shop listened to the housekeeper talk about Yan Qingge's identity, and stammered: "I don't know what the eldest lady is doing here, just tell the little one." ”

Yan Qingge stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the accounts of the shop." ”

She was about to look at the account as soon as she opened her mouth, and the shopkeeper's peeping eyes gave the housekeeper a look, and she didn't know what Yan Qingge meant. The housekeeper scolded with a smile: "Old Hu, what are you looking at, the eldest lady wants to see the account book, so don't bring it quickly." ”

Because it is a small shop, the account book of the grain store is not thick, and the daily entry and exit is only a little, Yan Qingge only looked at the last few days, and it was finished in a few clicks.

She put down the account book and said, "In the past, the Yan family used to chew it, and it was also sent by the grain store. But I don't see much of the best polished rice in the shop, and there are no blue stem rice or red japonica rice, but there are about 5,000 stone of millet, 2,000 stone of brown rice, 1,000 stone of coarse noodles, 500 stone of fine noodles, and a few hundred stones of other grains and beans. Right? ”

The shopkeeper immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The eldest lady can see clearly. Nabi terrier rice and red japonica rice are only bought for the government, not for sale, and the last time they were bought was three months ago, so there is no record in the account book for these three months. There is not much in and out of our store, and it is enough to have these rice noodles in the store. There are fewer people who buy rice and noodles during the year, so they save it, and when they sell more after the New Year, it will be one-third less. ”

Yan Qingge sighed, closed the account book, and said, "From today on, the grain shop will be closed, only in and out." ”

"What?" Not only the shopkeeper of the grain store, but even the housekeeper was stunned.

Yan Qingge did this thoughtfully.

There is a war coming soon, and regardless of whether the war burns or not, the price of grain will inevitably rise.

In her memory, the battle with the Northland was fought for nearly three years. At that time, Aunt Hai was in charge of the house, and Yan Shuyu was a quasi-princess, coming and going to the palace from time to time, and the Yan family never had a short time to eat and drink, but she had also heard of the poor situation of the people outside.

The Yan family has 100 people, and chewing is not a small amount, and the grain in the grain store is now eaten carefully, which is enough for a year at most. Yan Songnian doesn't care about it, if she doesn't care, most of the Yan family will starve to death.

"Miss, do you have a reason to do this?" The butler asked cautiously.

Yan Qingge said lightly: "I received a letter early this morning, the Northern Barbarians are attacking, the Holy Lord is a big soldier, you are not young, and you have also experienced a few battles, do you think I did the right thing?" ”

The hands of the shopkeeper's steward trembled.

In the past few years, the emperor has been on a continuous expedition to the south and the north, and the price of grain has never been cheap, but because he took the initiative to attack, the military rations are still in the budget, and it has not had a bad impact on the price of grain.

But when someone beats them, it's different, when it's serious, people starve to death city by city.

"The old slave will do it!" The shopkeeper immediately agreed.

Yan Qingge instructed again: "If there is more grain collected, I will send it to Zhuangzishang and Yan's mansion in batches." It's only over the New Year now, presumably you can also receive a lot of bacon and dried vegetables, the more these things, the better, you can buy them. ”

"Yes! For the rest of the daily necessities, the old slave will also buy some for preparation. I heard that there are several small kitchens built in the house, and a lot of cellars have been dug up, so there must be no shortage of places to put things. The shopkeeper's blessing to his heart, remembering Yan Qingge's "confused" order last year, couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, the eldest lady was so prescient.

There are four or five shops in the Yan family, only this one is dealing in rice and grain, and the remaining ones have nothing to do with it, so she won't go.

When he went out, the housekeeper followed behind Yan Qingge and said, "Miss, don't worry about the master, the old slave will go around." ”

Yan Qingge not only asked the grain shop to close, but also let people continue to purchase, this is a business that can only be entered, less income, more expenditure, Yan Songnian is short-sighted, he will definitely be furious.

Yan Qingge smiled slightly: "Are you around?" Just tell him to find me. ”

Only a few days later, Yan Songnian really took the initiative to come to Qingxingyuan, his face full of anger.

"Daughter, you come out for me!" Yan Songnian stood in the courtyard and said angrily.

He just got up this morning, and when he heard the bustle in the yard, he went out to ask and found out that it was the person who delivered grain from the shop, and the four carts full of nearly 100 bags of fine rice and white noodles were being carried by the people into the cellar of the small kitchen.

After asking, Yan Songnian learned that the grain store had long been closed and did not sell goods, but it continued to be collected, and the grain that could not be stored was transported to the cellar of the Yan family. When asked about the price of the grain he received, Yan Songnian's nose was crooked-it was so expensive, more than twice as expensive as the price of the grain he received before!

When he asked and understood that it was Yan Qingge's order, the first thought in his mind was that Yan Qingge wanted to use this matter to make money.

Yan Qingge was embroidering in the house, and when he heard Yan Songnian's shout, he calmly walked out of the door and asked knowingly, "What happened to my father?" ”

Yan Songnian snapped, threw an account book at Yan Qingge's feet, and looked coldly: "This is the account sent by the grain store, you did a good thing!" ”
