It is another year of Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the second year that Jiang Yuanyuan lost her parents and the first year that she lost Sheng Rong.

Jiang Qian put her two-month-old daughter to sleep on her own bed, Bai Xue was ignorant and supported the table to learn to walk, Xun'er was taken to play by the little third son, Xun'er is now one year old and a month old, she laughs silly every day, laughs with drool, and usually likes to play with Bai Xue and the little third son.

Jiang Yuanyuan fiddled with the abacus and calculated the accounts on his side, and the shopkeeper Liu was fiddling with his abacus and keeping the accounts he wanted to calculate.

Looking out the window, it was also a heavy snowfall this year, and I don't know how many people's bones were buried.

Liangzhou City has starved to death hundreds of people in the past six months, I heard that Jiangnan, a whole city of people, except for the people who ran away, starved to death, sick to death, drowned to drown, the only thing worth fortunately, the imperial court urgently sent troops to maintain the system half a month ago, all the families are in accordance with the emperor's order to open warehouses and release grain, except for Jiangnan, but did not let the disaster continue too far, at least, the northern Mengzhou City, Linshan City is still rich, not harmed by this natural disaster.

Letting go of the problem, she picked up the account book and looked at it, and made sure that it was correct, and Jiang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shopkeeper Liu, how are you doing here?" Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Shopkeeper Liu and stopped and hurriedly asked, Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand, quickly glanced at it, and nodded after making sure there was no problem.

"I'm done with it."

Jiang Yuanyuan walked over with her account book and said yes, the numbers calculated by the two are the same, which means that this should be the case.

"In this way, it seems that this year's purchase of grain has cost a total of more than 580 taels, and the sale of grain, flour and silk has been earned... Three thousand nine hundred taels, well, excluding the surplus, our net profit is one thousand five hundred taels. Jiang Yuanyuan was a little surprised, they used a low price to buy grain at the beginning, and then they went to the north to buy it at a high price, but the price set was according to the high price, so the net profit was a lot.

"This year is the first year, I want to pay back 1,000 taels to Master Guo first, and the remaining 500 taels will be kept as working capital." Jiang Yuanyuan exhaled slowly, finally relaxed.

"Granny Hua's investment of 5,000 taels can temporarily get a profit of 300 taels this year." Jiang Yuanyuan quickly picked up the abacus and knocked it on her face, "We still have less than two hundred catties of grain here, we can use the ordinary market price to sell some out, keep some for yourself, and at the beginning of April, workers can go to work, I have to find some people to help me raise silkworm babies, and the silk business will be put down if I make another profit this year." ”

"I hope there won't be any more disasters in the coming year, a natural disaster will be poor for ten years." Shopkeeper Liu shook his head, a pair of his children had come to see him, but he strongly expressed that he didn't want to take him home, saying that there was no food at home, let alone rice, even if it was a mouthful of pickles, Liangzhou was already implicated some distance from Jiangnan, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't dare to imagine what it would be like near Jiangnan.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of the knock on the door made Jiang Yuanyuan pause, he walked to the window and looked out, it was not clear who it was, but the horses and the red clothes could be seen at the table.

"Who?" Opening the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the man in armor standing in front of her, a little stunned, the man led the horse, raised his hands, and was wearing red clothes, and the outside was heavy armor, making a pitting sound.

"Is it Jiang Yuanyuan?" The man grabbed his head, he held his hat in one hand and a package in the other, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at the person from the beginning to the end suspiciously, and then nodded slowly.

"I am, you are?"

"Xiao Cavalry soldier Xu Shiwen, Miss Jiang, this is what our general asked me to send to you." The man gave the package to Jiang Yuanyuan's body, and after speaking, he left, riding on the horse and running fast, Jiang Yuanyuan was holding a package, a little overwhelmed.

What is the Horseman? Who is the general?

So, what is this?

Jiang Yuanyuan felt confused, but vaguely, as if he knew something, he walked to the bathroom, took a deep breath and opened the package, inside the package, there was a letter, a pair of shoes, a knee pad and a small silver box.

Her eyes suddenly turned a little red, and Jiang Yuanyuan opened the envelope.

Yuanyuan:

See the words as you ...... Are you alright?

I miss you......

Yuanyuan, wait for me.

Sheng Rong

Fingers couldn't hold the envelope, tears fell on the paper, Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to slap herself a little, why are you so fragile, crying, what is there to cry, just a few words will make you cry, Jiang Yuanyuan, you are too useless.

The knee pads are padded with thick cotton, Jiang Yuanyuan pulled up the trouser legs and tied them to the legs, this knee pad is very long, from the thigh part to the lower calf, so that all the places that will be cold are covered, the shoes are soft-soled, and the inside is also soft and soft, it is very comfortable to step on, the silver box is used to wipe the frost of her hands, she always freezes her hands in winter, she used to buy this silver small box of frost, but she didn't expect Sheng Rong to notice that there is no business in Liangzhou, and naturally she can't find anyone to sell this thing, Now receiving this, Jiang Yuanyuan only feels that there are mixed tastes in her heart.

Sheng Rong...... You bastard. Jiang Yuanyuan pinched the bridge of her nose.

When she walked out, Jiang Yuanyuan's face was as usual, her shoes were hidden by her, and she only wore knee pads, she cleaned up the account book, and went to the kitchen to eat balls with Bai Xue in her arms.

Freshly fried balls, they only fried a small plate, basically two or three people, Jiang Yuanyuan pinched two of them, fed one to Bai Xue's mouth, and ate one by herself.

In the past, the yard was eaten with pure meat, but now the balls are wrapped in flour, and the meat is a small part.

There are very few dishes this year, a bone broth, an orange sweet soup, a steamed egg, scrambled eggs with fungus, stir-fried meat with mushrooms and a pure pork belly, a round of meat, the pork belly is bacon, the egg is given by a young man from the dart board, and the bones of the bone broth are given by Master Yang.

It's good to be able to find these, Jiang Yuanyuan originally thought that their Chinese New Year's Eve rice was a bowl of noodles with more meat, but she didn't expect to be able to eat white flowered rice.

This meal is also very silent, everyone is eating in a big gulp, there is no time to chat, the second aunt and the second uncle sent back the letter a few days ago, the place where they live seems to have escaped the route of the refugees, anyway, they didn't suffer, the letter said that if Jiang Qian hadn't written a letter to report safety for the first time, they would have almost rushed back.

All the meals were eaten cleanly, and there was not even vegetable water left, Jiang Yuanyuan rubbed her stomach and felt very satisfied.

Although there are no vegetables, it is very comfortable for people who eat meat.

At the end of March, King Pingxiang rebelled.

Taking Liangzhou City as a stronghold and starting to attack the imperial court, Jiang Yuanyuan found that several mines not far from them turned out to be the location of the Pingxiang Wangtun's soldiers hoarding grain, and she watched where the army came out of it, holding a torch that was shining with fire.

The army of the king of Pingxiang cut off the food sources of the two cities of Liangzhou and Mingcheng, and his army was stationed nearby, guarding this entrance to the death, taking the people of the two cities as hostages, and declaring war on the imperial court.

When the soldier with the big knife walked into his house and put the knife on his neck, Jiang Yuanyuan knew what it was like to be so close to death.

It's very unjust to say it, Jiang Yuanyuan just wanted to see how Master Guo and the others were, but she didn't expect to be caught by this group of soldiers halfway through, not to say that she was going to escape.

When she entered the prison, Jiang Yuanyuan thought that Jiang Xuan should not be impulsive.

Life in the prison, except for the dark spots, the disgusting spots, the smelly spots, the food is almost good, and the drink is dirty...... In fact, it is not so bad that it is not bad, two meals a day, there are vegetables and meat, although the vegetables are rotten leaves, and the meat is minced, but compared to the feeling at the moment when she thought she was going to die, Jiang Yuanyuan did not feel sad now.

Many people like her in the prison are wailing that they are wronged every day, but in comparison, Jiang Yuanyuan feels that she is very calm, and she sleeps quietly like a chicken every day.

There is little water here, and the water looks dirty, Jiang Yuanyuan feels that she will get sick if she drinks too much, so she will never drink a sip of water unless necessary, and sleep every day, just to maintain her strength.

Jiang Yuanyuan was afraid that she would forget the time, so she scratched a mark on the wall every day, and when she had scratched more than thirty marks, Jiang Xuan and Chen Mofan came in.

They were led to themselves, Jiang Xuan was a lot haggard, and the whole person lost a lot of weight, Chen Mofan was too, very haggard and embarrassed, but when they saw Jiang Yuanyuan, they were surprised and happy.

Jiang Yuanyuan felt that she must be very bad, she hadn't taken a bath for thirty days, she was wearing the clothes she had come in, and there was a bucket in the prison, which was full of her own excrement, and no one had cleaned up these things for seven or eight days.

"Eat something." Jiang Xuan said in a crying tone, he touched his eyes, opened the food box he brought, and inside was a bowl of noodles, the noodles looked dry, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't dislike it, she ate it when she took it, and when she stretched out her hand, she felt that she must be very scary now.

Black hands, thin knuckles are distinct, there are gaps between the two fingers together, she is snoring and eating, eating and eating is a little sour, a bowl of noodles quickly bottomed out, there are steamed buns next to her, she also took the purring and snoring, after eating two steamed buns, she didn't eat, she held the remaining three, reluctant to eat.

"I'm not ugly right now." Jiang Yuanyuan asked in a hoarse throat, she coughed, but her voice was still a little hoarse, she coughed again, hummed several times, now it's okay, not dumb.

"It's not ugly." Jiang Xuan rubbed his eyes and took the water bladder on his body, "You drink some water, save some water, Brother Mantou has wrapped a few for you, you keep it, eat slowly, if you have a chance, Brother will come in and bring you something to eat, and then I will send you some clothes, it's so cold here, it's so dark......"
