The ledger rolled at Yan Qingge's feet, and Yan Qingge's face gradually became gloomy.

Yan Songnian broke the jar and fell, from a hypocrite to a real villain, with a stinky problem, he became more and more unlikely, and he did everything to fall on people's feet, which was simply a splash.

She stared at Yan Songnian coldly and said, "Doesn't my father know that there is going to be a war?" Every household is stockpiling grain. ”

Yan Songnian didn't listen to the explanation, and said angrily: "My Yan family has two sons-in-law, one is the prince and the other is the prince, everyone in the world is starving to death, and I still eat and drink spicy food." ”

Hearing his unreasonable words, Yan Qingge sneered: "It turns out that my father pointed at the autumn wind who beat his son-in-law!" Not to mention that my sister is just a concubine, the prince can't think of managing the Yan family, not to mention that I haven't married the little prince Yan. ”

"If you don't get married, they will take care of me! I've raised you for so many years, can't you eat at all? All that grain will be sold to me tomorrow. ”

Yan Songnian roared at the top of his throat and glared at Yan Qingge.

Yan Qingge sneered: "Father wants to sell it, just pull out the grain from Han Youju and sell it, no one will stop you." When you can't eat, don't ask others. ”

In addition to Han Youju, other courtyards were also pulled away with grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc., filling the cellar to the brim.

Qingxingyuan's this, Yan Songnian doesn't want to count on it. He turned his head and went to other yards to scavenge for food, and asked Aunt Chu and Caifeng to hand over the grain in the cellar in their yard.

How could Aunt Chu and Aunt Caifeng do the same, and one person handed over more than a dozen bags of brown rice and thick noodles. Yan Songnian didn't care so much, so he asked someone to pull the grain back to the grain shop, and opened the door to sell the goods on the same day.

Now in Beijing, there are only grain stores, but few grain shops have opened up to sell grain. Even if there is grain in stock, he will deliberately explain to the guys to sell it slowly, and who knows what the price will rise in the future.

As soon as the Yan family's grain shop opened, the people who heard the news and came to buy grain instantly stepped on the threshold of the Yan family's grain shop.

With Yan Songnian's personal orders, the shopkeeper sighed and sighed, and it only took one day to sell all the grain that had been collected with great effort.

If he hadn't kept an eye on it, he went to Zhuangzi and smuggled a large amount of grain to hide, and he would have been among the people who starved to death in the Yan family in the future.

The granary of the Yan family was not big, and Yan Songnian instructed to sell as much as possible, and by the evening, all the inventory would be sold cleanly, and there would not be a grain of rice left.

The shopkeeper locked the door, carried the collected copper coins into the car one by one, a total of ten cars, and headed towards Yan's house.

Yan Songnian was waiting to collect the money, he touched his beard, and happily asked the kitchen man to open the cellar - now there were only a dozen bags of rice and noodles piled in the corner, and some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, bacon, dried vegetables and other things that were not easy to sell in the grain store, and the whole cellar seemed empty.

"Put the copper coins in sacks and pile them up for me." Yan Songnian shouted proudly.

The subordinates were ordered, and in a short time, dozens of sacks of copper coins were filled and neatly stacked in a corner of the cellar.

Looking at these money bags, which are many times more than rice bags, Yan Songnian's beard is high, and his pride is overflowing.

"What are you doing with food, you can't buy food if you have money!" Yan Songnian was very proud, and he felt that this hand was too beautiful. The price of the grain sold today was three times the purchase price, and he really made a fortune today.

Han Youju is the place where the most slaves are attached to the inner courtyard of the Yan family, and there are more than 20 people, including Yan Songnian.

These dozen bags of grain can go down half a bag a day, and I see that the rice bags are empty day by day.

At the end of the first month, news came from outside that the Great Zhou army was drawn day and night, and as soon as they arrived in the area of Qingzhou and Gunzhou, the Northern Barbarians fled and won without a fight.

Such good news made the atmosphere in the capital relaxed immediately.

The prices of all kinds of rice, flour, grain, and daily necessities that had risen boundlessly have been loosened again.

Yan Qingge felt very weird. Before she was reborn, the Great Zhou conquered the Northern Land, but it took nearly three years of hard work, and finally took advantage of the civil strife in the Northern Barbarian Court to recover the Northern Barbarian Land in one fell swoop. Won't it be too easy to fight this time?

Yan Songnian was proud, boasting everywhere in the Yan family that he was prescient and did not have the same high price as other families, otherwise he would not have suffered a big loss.

On the second day, the Zhuyu Courtyard where Aunt Chu lived moved out nearly 100 bags of grain, which were transported to the Yan family grain store, and sold them for money while the price of food had not completely fallen, but the Taoxiang Courtyard where Caifeng lived did not move.

Because Aunt Chu took the initiative to hand over the hidden food, Yan Songnian stayed in the Zhuyu Courtyard that night, and the people in the entire Zhuyu Courtyard were ashamed, feeling that Aunt Chu would dominate Yan Songnian again, and it was just around the corner.

Before you know it, in mid-February, the sky is starting to warm up, the earth is turning green, and there is a lively scene everywhere. Those poor families who have no money to buy food can also go to the field to dig some wild vegetables to barely satisfy their stomachs, and there is no longer a danger of starvation.

Everything looks so thriving and full of hope.

That night, Yan Qingge was leaning on the mat in a daze, Ruyi came in with a bowl of soup, lifted the curtain, looked at Yan Qingge's depressed expression, and her obviously lost a lot of weight, and said distressedly: "Miss, this is the bird's nest porridge stewed for you in the kitchen, you can take two mouthfuls." ”

Yan Qingge couldn't bear to be disappointed, took the bowl and drank it reluctantly, and said, "It's already night, this soup is a little sweet, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep after drinking it." ”

If she is willing to enter a little, she is already very pleased, put away the soup bowl, and said, "Miss, don't worry, it is said outside that the little prince Yan and they have won a big battle." ”

"But I didn't hear from him." Yan Qingge sat up straight and sighed, "If the news of the victory of the army can be transmitted back to Beijing, he must also have a way to write to me and send it back." I always feel that this victory is not so simple. ”

Ruyi comforted Yan Qingge and said, "Miss, don't think about it." It's not early, it's time to go to bed. ”

Ruyi served Yan Qingge to lie down, although Yan Qingge did not feel sleepy, but after staring at the tent for a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.

She was dreaming, and suddenly she was woken up, and the whole person seemed to fall from a high altitude, her heart was beating wildly, and she didn't reflect where she was for a long time.

Ruyi held a lamp, stood in front of Yan Qingge's bed, disheveled, and said with a crying voice: "Miss, get up quickly, we are going to run for our lives." ”

"Tell me slowly, what's going on."

"There is a fight in the city, and all the people in the inner city are running for their lives, let's get out of the city quickly, I have already asked someone to pack up our things." Ruyi cried.

Yan Qingge was excited, and the whole person was awake: "What did you say?" ”

"I don't know what's going on, but there's a war outside, there's fire everywhere, and I've heard from the little guy who told me that a lot of people have died." Ruyi choked as she spoke, obviously frightened.

Yan Qingge looked at the window paper, and sure enough, he saw an orange-red light reflected on the window paper. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint shouting of killing in the distance, and you can tell the direction, it is the palace.

This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there can be such a big mess, regardless of whether it is forced to the palace or other reasons, something must be wrong, and it is no longer safe here.

She immediately stood up and said, "Tell someone to go to the stable and bring two horses." Don't let your father take all the horses away. ”

"Okay." Ruyi immediately turned around and went to do it.

She also went out to see what the maids were carrying.

At a glance, Yan Qingge's head was big for a while, and she saw that those maids and wives were in the whole cage, looking at the posture, it was actually prepared according to the previous few times when she went out to play.

This is an escape, not a tour, can it be the same?

She stepped forward and said, "Pour out all those things for me." Take two sturdy cheesecloth to make a furoshiki, and put two quilts and a few sets of inconspicuous clothes in it, and put some dry food in it. ”

As she spoke, she walked across, frowned and thoughtfully and ordered, "The rest will prepare two rolls of rope for me, two sharp knives, fire folds, brown paper, water bottles, and some emergency medicinal materials." ”

As she was talking, Ruyi ran in, followed by a young man, Yan Qingge saw that it was Le Xuan.

"Brother Xuan, aren't you in the academy?" Yan Qingge looked at Le Xuan in surprise. Because Le Xuan studied at Bailu Academy all the year round, she rarely returned to the capital even on her day off, so she didn't see Le Xuan much now.

Le Xuan said: "I'm here to pick you up." It's hard to stay in the city, those are the Northern Barbarians! Come with me. ”

"Good!" Yan Qingge heard that it was the Northern Barbarians, and her heart was strangely settled, she had always felt that the Northern Barbarians could not be defeated so easily these days, and now she knew the strategy they used, and she felt that it was reasonable.

The maids were very sharp with their hands and feet, and they had already packed up the things she wanted and made them into two small packages.

She grabbed the burden, threw one to Ruyi, and said to Ruyi, "Let's ride a horse." ”

The mother-in-law and maids who were preparing things glanced at each other and asked cautiously, "Miss, aren't you going to take us away?" ”

"I want to take you away, but you don't know how to ride a horse, you don't know kung fu, how many women can live when they go out of the city?" Yan Qingge asked.

The subordinates who asked this question looked at each other.

"I have already thought for you, you hide in the cellar, before we go, we will bury the mouth of the cellar, put more tiles on it, leave a vent for ventilation, and then set the kitchen on fire, and no one will come to search a broken kitchen that has burned out. Hide underneath, eat and drink, don't make a fuss, and dig out from below when it's safe for yourselves. ”

Those maids didn't expect Yan Qingge to help them think of such a good way, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Qingge.

After a while, the maids and daughters of Qingxingyuan were gathered and entered the cellar one by one with large bags and small bags.

After a few breaths, a fire also broke out in the Qingxing Garden.

Yan Qingge stepped on horseback, and together with Ruyi and Le Xuan, he rode a horse and galloped in Yan's house. Behind them, a string of hounds that had grown into growth ran wildly, not looking like they were running for their lives, but rather like they were hunting.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Yan Qingge saw two carriages standing side by side in front of the door, snorting uneasily. The coachman hurriedly turned around and urged: "Go and shout again, tell the master to hurry up, I really can't load money into the car anymore, the horse can't run anymore, and when the time comes, I won't be able to escape with the money." ”

Yan Qingge didn't even stop, with a sneer on his lips, he grabbed the horse's belly and took the lead in rushing towards the city gate.
