After receiving Murong Zhao's post, Chu Xuwen went to the post house on the second day.

Chu Xuwen has been busy giving porridge to the victims for many days, and he looks quite tired and haggard. Murong Zhao asked people to post yesterday, so he naturally inquired about what Chu Xuwen did in the five counties of Jiangnan.

He was very interested, and asked Chu Xuwen to taste tea.

Chu Xuwen thanked him, only said a few words of greeting, and never mentioned that Murong Zhao was eating white food in Guijin Tower.

"In this way, Mr. was sent by Mr. Pei to Jiangnan for disaster relief and soup kitchen?" After Murong Zhao heard Chu Xuwen's intention, he was a little suspicious, "Isn't Mr. Chu on an errand by Miss Yang Qi now?" ”

Chu Xuwen hurriedly smiled and explained to him: "Exactly, but there are not many people in Ulsan, so Mr. Pei went to borrow me from the seventh girl to help." The seventh girl thought that this was a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, so she let me come. ”

Murong Zhao smiled and said casually: "Since you have arrived in Yuhang County, Mr. has such an important matter, he should really come to me." I have some friendship with the Yuguo Mansion and Miss Yang Qi, and I can help you with a thing or two in your difficulties. ”

Chu Xuwen said in his heart: At this time, when I came to the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River to give porridge, how difficult it was, it was simply unimpeded.

But Murong Zhao was so enthusiastic, he naturally couldn't help but admit it, and immediately said politely: "I'm afraid that Your Highness, you have an errand with you, so you don't dare to disturb without permission." ”

Murong Zhao laughed dryly, wanting to ask him about Yang Qiqi, but he felt that he couldn't speak. The two of them tasted tea in embarrassment, and were silent for a while before they heard Murong Zhao speak slowly, "Miss Yang Qi has three hundred acres of paddy fields here in Yuhang?" ”

Chu Xuwen nodded and replied: "Yes, when I came, the seventh girl also asked me to go to Zhuangzi to see if the disaster was serious." Do you want to be rent-free and lend them some more food to survive? ”

When Murong Zhao heard about borrowing grain, his good-looking eyes smiled slightly, and said, "Then Mr. has he been empty?" ”

Chu Xuwen nodded, "I don't dare to delay the errand ordered by the girl, I have seen it in the first three days after I first came." They have also been exempted from rent and lent grain to peasant households. ”

Murong Zhao smiled faintly and asked very casually, "Is there still grain in the Zhuangzi?" Is it enough to support farmers to survive the winter? If that's not enough, just talk to me. ”

Chu Xuwen thanked him honestly and said: "There are still some, enough is enough." ”

Murong Zhao immediately smiled and said continuously: "Yes, yes." The seven girls of your family have grain stores in Chang'an and Luoyang, so naturally there will be grain stocks. This time, the grain you came to Jiangnan to help the victims also came from the grain of the Seven Girls, right? ”

Chu Xuwen had a bad heart, raised his eyes and stared at Murong Zhao's cunning look, secretly regretting that he was careless.

What does His Highness Eleventh do to care about whether the seventh girl has any surplus food?

How to answer?

Chu Xuwen knew that Murong Zhao had intelligence forces behind him that were no less powerful than Roujin and Gui Jinlou, so naturally he couldn't hide anything from his eyes.

Murong Zhao didn't wait for Chu Xuwen to react, he was very gentle and polite, and with a bit of a request, he preemptively said: "The rice and grain of the imperial court can't be turned over for a while, so it's better for you to help me move some from the Seventh Girl's farm." ”

Chu Xuwen said in his heart, how can this be done? Before Qiu Xu came back, the seventh girl told her that she could no longer have anything to do with His Royal Highness Eleventh's relief to the victims. Who knows, how did this eleventh highness calculate?

Chu Xuwen smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, although there is grain in the farm, after it can be distributed to the people in the farm, there is not much left." ”

Murong Zhao didn't care, "It's okay, it's good to have some emergencies first, I have borrowed food from the rich families in Yuhang County left and right, and I have a difficult errand now, so naturally the more the merrier." If the seventh girl is willing to borrow this favor, I will definitely pay it back in the future. ”

Chu Xuwen felt that whatever he said, Murong Zhao must be waiting. Most of His Highness Eleven's post has no good intentions. He pondered in his heart, he couldn't smash the errand handed over by the seventh girl anymore, drag it out. So, he slowly spoke, for the sake of "I can't be the master of borrowing food for a while, so I have to send a letter to the girl first." ”

Murong Zhao nodded again and again, "It's okay, whatever letter you want to send, just leave it to me." I asked An Liang to deliver it in person, so it could be faster. ”

Chu Xuwen couldn't help sweating on his forehead, these eleven princes, their words are traps.

An Liang went in person, can the seventh girl refuse? The eleventh prince can't be offended, and the eastern capital is stumbling on the eleventh prince behind his back. The Seven Girls are not borrowing, nor are they not borrowing. He had no choice but to say: "Don't go to deliver the letter, this time and again, it's too delayed." I will lend you the grain, and when the time comes, you will remember to pay it back. Otherwise, I will make my own decisions, and I will not be able to explain to the seventh girl. ”

Murong Zhao secretly sighed that Chu Xuwen was an old fox, but he still nodded with a smile on his face, and wanted to leave Chu Xuwen for dinner.

Chu Xuwen thought to himself, took a sip of tea, and was borrowed by the eleventh prince. If you save for another meal, who knows what rude requests will be made by His Highness Eleven? Chu Xuwen hurriedly excused himself, and hurriedly got up and walked out of the post house.

Murong Zhao didn't feel a little lost in his heart, Chu Xuwen's attitude could make him faintly feel that Yang Qiqi didn't seem to want anything to do with him. Then the warning of the young master of the He family about the civil uprising is not a kind reminder from Yang Qiqi. Murong Zhao tried to find such a reaction, which was originally expected. No matter how smart Yang Qiqi is, she is just a deep girl. Even if he is a closed disciple of Mr. Qingping, he should not be underestimated. But such a thing as the civil change, she is now raised in the deep boudoir, how can she know or guess?

Murong Zhaowu smiled to himself and comforted himself, Yang Qi had nothing to do with him in the first place. The Yuguo Mansion is destined to be a person from the camp of the Seven Princes, how could Yang Qiqi take the risk to remind him?

Despite thinking so, I felt some unspeakable disappointment in my heart.

An Liang listened to Murong Zhao's words in a fog, and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice: "Your Highness, when are we going to collect grain?" ”

Murong Zhao simply got up, dropped the word "now", and went back to the house.

Regarding the matter of borrowing grain, Chu Xuwen naturally did not dare to delay, and immediately asked people to send a letter to the Yuguo Mansion.

Yang Qiqi got this letter, and his angry fingers trembled. puffed out his cheeks, gasped twice, and finally sat helplessly in the rose chair, "He really has to make inches!" What to do, you want to drag me into the water. ”

Caiping, Zhuyi and others in the room didn't dare to respond, Yang Qiqi finally lit the table and said, "Write it down, write it down for me." What do the eleven princes owe us, and when the time comes to calculate the general account, it is convenient to ask for it together. After Yang Qiqi finished speaking, he began to grit his teeth again, couldn't help but have a toothache, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't remind him if I knew about the civil uprising, so I let him watch it himself!" ”

A few days later, Murong Zhaohuan happily took people to Yang Qiqi's farm in Yuhang and borrowed a hundred stones of grain.

Naturally, this news could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the princes' mansions in the Eastern Capital.

"Seventh brother, what does Murong Zhao mean by this? Or did the seventh cousin borrow his food because Yu Guogong secretly had something in mind? Murong Xi entered Murong Shi's study in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to ask the first sentence.

Murong Shi was reading the documents in the study, and when he heard Murong Xi's words, he put the documents on the big case, and said with a smile: "You sit down first, and then speak after taking a breath." ”

Murong Xi seemed to be very anxious, "Things in Jiangnan are not going well. Murong Zhao is almost calling for wind and rain over there, why haven't our people moved at all. Just let Murong Zhao be so proud? ”

Murong Shi's eyes were cold, "No way, there are masters around Murong Zhao." ”

"Seventh brother, the last time you asked someone to find out why He Shaodong went to find Murong Zhao, did you find out? Is it the seventh cousin who threads the needle in it? "This is what Murong Xi wants to know most urgently at the moment.

Murong Shi shook his head and said, "I can only find out that the Shaodong of the He family sent 20,000 stone grains to Murong Zhao, although Mr. Chu beside the seventh girl went to Yuhang, but the two of them were three days apart, and it seems that there is no contact with each other." ”

Murong Xi made a bitter face again, and said, "Why did the seventh cousin borrow a hundred stone grain from Murong Zhao again?" ”

Murong Shi naturally knew about this, and also knew that Murong Zhao also specially sent a message to the housekeeper beside Yang Qiqi. What did Murong Zhao pay attention to in his heart? Could it be that Murong Zhao also has some other thoughts about Yang Qiqi? Thinking of this, he only smiled faintly and reminded Murong Xi: "If you are curious, just find a chance to ask." ”

Murong Xi immediately couldn't sit still, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll ask the seventh cousin." ”

"What's the hurry, you deliberately ran over and said this, what do the seven girls and the people of the Yang family think? When you travel for the Midyear Festival, it's not too late for you to ask. Murong Shi stopped him unhurriedly.

Murong Xi was very anxious, but he knew that what he said made sense, so he couldn't help but not go to Yang's house.

Seeing that it was about to reach the Midyear Festival, the Yuguo Mansion began to prepare for the festival one after another. Knowing that the daughter-in-law of the family was going to swim in the water, the other Yang family girls who could not attend were naturally envious.

The second girl followed the third lady to cry and make trouble, and finally the third lady couldn't stand it, so she let go with the second girl and the fourth girl.

When the eldest girl heard about it, she gave advice to the ninth girl and asked her to ask for the third girl.

The ninth girl understood and found an opportunity to discuss with Yang Yuyan.

"Third sister, I heard that the eldest girl of the Wei family is also going. I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for you to say some things, and the seventh sister can't figure out the situation clearly, so I can help you speak at that time. Moreover, the second sister followed the fourth sister, you take me, we can be regarded as a lot of people against the girls of the Wei family! ”

Yang Yuyan pondered in her heart, what she said made some sense, she couldn't speak out in front of His Highness the Seventh, and it would not be good to be hated by him again. She thought about it for a while, and then said to the ninth girl, "It's okay for me to take you there, but don't forget what you're going to do." ”

The ninth girl nodded happily and said, "I remember, when the time comes, I will definitely find Miss Wei's fork and force her to make a fool of herself in front of His Royal Highness the Seven!" ”

Yang Yuyan smiled with satisfaction and agreed to the ninth girl.

The eldest girl didn't expect Yang Yuyan to agree so happily, and she was happy with the ninth girl in her heart, and on the way back to Yuguang Courtyard, she couldn't help but tell her: "Mother, we can't count on it." If you have a good opportunity, you must seize it! ”
