Since the last trouble, Widow Wu has fenced the chickens in the house, and there has never been a situation of running around, An Ning has sprouted from the newly sown flower seeds in a blink of an eye, and the light green clusters are scattered in the yard, and the layout of the rules cannot be seen.

Xue Qingshan set up a grape trellis in the yard according to An Ning's request, transplanted a grape vine over, and placed a stone table and stone bench under the grape trellis, which looked a little bit like An Ning's small yard in the back alley of Shangjing, and An Ning had already begun to fantasize about the appearance of flowers in the yard in summer.

Compared with An Ning's leisurely comfort, Xue Qingshan's busy feet don't touch the ground these days, usually it's already the middle of the night when he gets home, and he goes to the camp before dawn on the second day, so An Ning hasn't spoken to Xue Qingshan seriously for several days.

Thinking that Xue Qingshan would go out early and return late that day, An Ning made some pastries with his own hands, packed them and took Xiaoxi to Xu Xue Qingshan's camp.

There are officers and soldiers guarding the camp, although An Ning is the first time to come to the camp, but after saying that he is the general's wife, the soldiers guarding the camp immediately let An Ning in, and are very enthusiastic to guide the way for An Ning, on the way to the main tent, An Ning also met the tiger who had just returned to the camp after patrolling.

"Sister-in-law An Ning, it's really you!" Huzi and Xue Qingshan used to be from the same village, a few years younger than Xue Qingshan, and later followed Xue Qingshan as a soldier, later than Hu Dafu and Xue Qingshan in the barracks.

"Why, so surprised to see me?" An Ning joked that Huzi has not yet married, and he stays in the camp on weekdays, and Xue Qingshan will also take Huzi to the house to eat when he is resting, and Huzi and An Ning are also familiar with each other.

"Don't be surprised! This is Sister-in-law Anning, your first time coming to the camp, Brother Xue is so happy to know! "Huzi is the same as Xue Qingshan, thick and strong, but not as tall as Xue Qingshan, but his skin is as tanned, and he smiles and shows a mouthful of big white teeth, looking a little stupid.

When Huzi said this, An Ning felt a little guilty in her heart, this camp was not far from where they lived, and it only took half an hour to walk, but after so long, she hadn't come to the camp to see Xue Qingshan once.

"Sister-in-law An Ning, you came just in time, do you have to help me persuade Brother Xue, he hasn't rested much for several days, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Brother Xue's body won't be able to bear it!"

"Is something wrong?" In the past few days, Xue Qingshan went out early and returned late, and An Ning knew that something must have happened, but Xue Qingshan never told her, and she didn't ask much.

Huzi was about to talk to An Ning carefully, but when he looked up, a tall and burly figure not far away was walking towards them, Huzi spread his hands, "Yes, Sister-in-law An Ning, Brother Xue has already come out, you can ask him yourself, I'll go back first, and I'll see you later!" ”

"Huh?" An Ning didn't understand what was going on, and as soon as she turned her head, she had already fallen into a familiar embrace, "Why did you come out?" ”

"I'll know as soon as you enter the camp, so I'll come out to see you soon!" Xue Qingshan held An Ning's face and couldn't help but take a bite on An Ning's forehead.

"What are so many people, what are they like!" An Ning pushed Xue Qingshan away with a red face, tidied up his clothes that he didn't mess up, and pretended that nothing had happened just now.

There were soldiers coming and going, marching in unison, but without exception they were all facing them, staring at them curiously, and some couldn't help but laugh.

Xue Qingshan looked around, there were indeed many people, and coughed, "All pay attention, the soldiers who are practicing are facing the direction of the camp gate and resting in place for a quarter of an hour!" ”

"Yes, General!" There was a whirring sound, and then the world was quiet!

......

"Let's go back to it!" Xue Qingshan looked at An Ning flatteringly, and An Ning gave him a knife.

Xue Qingshan took An Ning into the camp tent, Xiao Xi didn't follow up, just waited outside the camp tent. It happened that Hu Dafu's son Hu Manzhu was also outside, and the two were about the same age, both half-grown children, and they soon played together.

In the tent, Xue Qingshan ate the pastries sent by An Ning, drank the tea made by An Ning himself, and directly felt comfortable.

"What have you been up to lately, coming home so late?" An Ning looked around in the tent, the tent looked very large on the outside, but after coming in, the furnishings inside were really simple.

A table, a chair, a bed, and an empty bookshelf, the only thing that was a little more upscale was the huge sand table in the middle of the tent. Of course, the sand table can't be looked at carefully, and if you look closely, you will find that the sand table is very rough and many things are not very clear.

Speaking of official business, Xue Qingshan had a headache, he hadn't read, and later when he became a soldier and a general, he had to read some official documents, and he barely knew a few words, and he used to deal with military affairs barely enough, but this would make him have to take care of the size of Wucheng, and the few words he knew were completely insufficient.

Especially recently, the people of Wucheng have come back one after another, and there are so many things that he can't figure out for a while. He can't read Kumon very well, and he's desperately trying to make up for his literacy these days.

Why didn't he let the Anning Sect? What man is willing to show his bad side in front of the woman he likes? What's more, there is also An Ning, whose fiancé Zhuyu from Tanhualang is in front, Xue Qingshan is even more embarrassed.

Xue Qingshan's question about An Ning was vague, and An Ning knew that Xue Qingshan didn't want to tell him, so he didn't ask.

Looking at the mountains of official documents on Xue Qingshan's desk, An Ning casually picked up a copy and held it in his hand, "Can I read it?" ”

In this era, a woman's accusation is that she teaches her husband and children, and she can't ask about men's political affairs, even if An Zheng loves the Su family so much, An Ning has never seen the Su family ask about An Zheng's court, An Ning doesn't know that Xue Qingshan will not care about this.

Xue Qingshan rubbed his swollen forehead, "Look at it casually, it's all some miscellaneous things!" ”

An Ning flipped through a few pages casually, and suddenly found a pressed book at the bottom of these official documents, An Ning curiously pulled it over and found that it was actually a thousand-character text, and there were annotations on it.

An Ning was clear, Xue Qingshan probably thought that he was pressed under the top and An Ning couldn't see it, but An Ning saw it.

Worried about Xue Qingshan's face, An Ning secretly stuffed the thousand-character text back.

"Xue Qingshan, aren't you tired of reading so many official documents every day?" An Ning asked thoughtfully.

Xue Qingshan originally thought it was okay, but as soon as An Ning asked, he suddenly swallowed it back when he was not tired, hugged An Ning, pillowed his head on An Ning's lap, and said coquettishly, "Tired, so tired!" ”

An Ning looked at the bloodshot in Xue Qingshan's eyes and the blue ash under his eyes, and felt a little distressed, "Xue Qingshan, close your eyes, I'll read these official documents to you!" What do you annotate, I'll annotate it for you! ”

"Oh, this method is good!" Xue Qingshan's eyes lit up, so that he was not afraid of words he didn't know, and it didn't matter if he couldn't write.

An Ning picked up the excerpt and began to read it to Xue Qingshan, she was not very clear about many things in government affairs, but she just conveyed it to Xue Qingshan according to the written content, but by the time she finished reading the excerpt, the person on her lap had already been silent.

An Ning had no choice but to pick up another excerpt and look at it, and this time he found a problem. The excerpt says that now is the season of spring sowing, but because the people of Wucheng have just moved back, every household has no surplus grain, and the grain stored in Wucheng has also been looted by the barbarians.

The people regard food as the sky, and An Ning knows that this is a big deal, but seeing that the man is sleeping steadily, he can't bear to wake up Xue Qingshan, and he is thinking carefully in his mind about what can solve the food problem.

When Xue Qingshan woke up, it was already sunset, An Ning's legs were numb by Xue Qingshan's pillow, Xue Qingshan rubbed An Ning's legs with guilt, and An Ning told Xue Qingshan about the food shortage.

Xue Qingshan's face was heavy, and he pondered for a while before he said, "I have thought of this a long time ago!" A few days ago, I had already sent Brother Hu to buy grain in the surrounding places, but the surrounding grain had already been bought, and Brother Hu was too late to go! ”

"Bought up? Who bought it? ”

"Some merchants, the owners of rice shops. Brother Hu went to buy grain from them, but the price they offered was too high, and we couldn't afford it. ”

"They want to monopolize the market, and then raise the price of grain when the grain runs out, and make a lot of money?" An Ning was stunned, it was really no treacherous business, and he had already gained insight into the market demand so early.

This is really the real reason why Xue Qingshan goes out early and returns late these days. He had personally visited those merchants, and they were all enthusiastic about him, but he did not mention anything about buying grain, he was a rough man, and he was used to going straight, and those merchants were very tactful, but he could not hold a knife on people's necks and ask them to sell grain.

So nothing has been achieved for the past few days!

"What about the imperial court? We can report to the imperial court and let the imperial court allocate some food to come down for emergency relief! An Ning grabbed Xue Qingshan's hand and asked eagerly.

Xue Qingshan held An Ning's hand with his backhand, his expression was solemn like never before, "An Ning, do you know why I chose to come here to defend the border?" ”

An Ning was puzzled, and didn't understand why Xue Qingshan suddenly mentioned this matter, did this matter have anything to do with allocating food?

"Although I haven't read a book, I also know the truth that a companion is like a tiger, not to mention that today's saints are suspicious by nature, and in the case of King Wei's rebellion, how many court officials were innocently implicated and dismissed and their homes were raided. I know that I am a rough man, and I can enjoy a moment of wealth and glory if I stay in Shangjing, but I can't guarantee that I will always be honored by the Holy Master! I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you in the future! ”

"I know!" How could An Ning not know that Xue Qingshan was all for her, a general with military power, married to the daughter of a criminal who was involved in the traitor, the time was short, and the new emperor could turn a blind eye when he thought of Xue Qingshan's meritorious rescue efforts, but after a long time, Xue Qingshan's power was great, and it was difficult to guarantee that the saint would not be suspicious.

"I relied on saving the saint when I still had a little face in front of the saint to ask for a favor from the saint, and asked for the border, but do you know that the moment I left Shangjing, we have been abandoned by the imperial court, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses I brought over are all my net worth!"
