Mrs. Mu has been particularly concerned about Mu Qingwan's lifelong events in the past two years, and she will take Mu Qingwan to attend almost every banquet. In the past two years, Mu Qingwan has avoided many "blind date banquets".

Mu Qingwan had already made a decision to go to the border, but she was worried that Mrs. Mu would not allow it, so she planned to cut it first. It's not just Mrs. Mu, it's also a problem for Second Master Mu. Although, whether the pair is doing business outside or learning martial arts or medicine, Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu have always followed their own wishes. However, if you really go to such a dangerous place as the battlefield, you may not agree.

Mu Qingwan secretly prepared, so she left a letter and set off with Hu Zhao and Ji Xiang Ruyi. By the time Second Master Mu and Mrs. Mu found out that they were missing, Mu Qingwan had already left the capital.

Before leaving, I also looked for Jin Ling'er, after all, the Jin family is rich, and the Zhuangzi at the bottom does not know how many. Mu Qingwan thought of borrowing food from Jin Ling'er, and Jin Ling'er agreed, and even when Mu Qingwan left, she stuffed a token of the head of the Jin family, so that after Mu Qingwan arrived at the border, if necessary, she could go to the chief steward of the Jin family there, and all problems could be discussed with him. Mu Qingwan naturally accepted Jin Ling'er's kindness.

Mu Qingwan didn't dare to delay, and when she was ready, she set off with Hu Zhao and the others. And Mu Qingwan's main Zhuangzi and the hoarded grain all have the Jiangnan area, and he sent people to inform him early that the first batch of grain and grass went first, and finally the large army converged in the Qinghe area.

Although they were more than ten days behind, Mu Qingwan and the others rode horses, and they still had to arrive at Qinghe one step ahead of the grain and grass.

"Miss, the food will arrive tomorrow, because time is tight, this time it is only seven days of food, and the second batch is already on the way."

After Hu Zhao received the news, he immediately reported it to Mu Qingwan.

"Got it, how much food we have left."

Mu Qingwan knew that if the food under her was supplied to the soldiers, it would be just a drop in the bucket.

"After all, due to the severe drought, the output of the Zhuangzi at the bottom is also limited, and most of it is the grain stored in previous years. But when it comes to supplying the borders, there is not much left. ”

What Hu Zhao said was the actual situation, and Mu Qingwan also understood in her heart that it was not a way to go on in the long run, and the years were not good, and the people below would also be hungry. However, his younger brother was fighting bloodily on the battlefield, and if he didn't even have enough to eat, Mu Qingwan felt uncomfortable.

"Do your best, and in addition, find a way to get the attention of the capital. I wrote a letter to my father and asked him to find a way to do something in the capital. ”

No matter how rich Mu Qingwan is, it can't be compared with the power of a country, and the emperor has to find a way to deal with the matter of food.

"By the way, send someone to check on Cui Anyuan of the Cui family in Qinghe, inquire about the situation of Huanting next week, and report to me immediately if there is news."

The reason why Mu Qingwan decided to settle here in Qinghe was not only because of the way, but also because of the old people here. I haven't seen her in years, and I don't know how she's doing now.

"Yes, miss."

Hu Zhao nodded and stepped back.

Mu Qingwan's eyes reappeared in front of her when she was in Qingyun Academy, when she was just a child. The character is still the same as in the previous life, taciturn, very quiet. However, there was a little girl who chattered in her ear all day long. Although the girl has a cheerful personality and is sometimes bold, the bright and bright smile is a vivid memory of her own youth. If it weren't for those karmic encounters, it might have been a different story.

Mu Qingwan sighed helplessly, everyone has their own choice, and sometimes they have to bear the corresponding consequences for their choice, I don't know, have you ever regretted it?

Soon, Hu Zhao came back with news.

"What! The disease is not curable? How so? ”

After knowing Zhou Huanting's current situation, Mu Qingwan was very surprised and very sad.

"Miss Zhou injured her body in childbirth a few years ago, and she has not been recuperated. Last year, I tried my best to get pregnant and give birth, but my health was getting worse and worse. The body is really empty, and there is no proper person to take care of it, and the days are numbered. ”

Hu Zhao remembered the scene he saw, and sighed in his heart.

"How so? Didn't the Zhou family send someone to keep an eye on it? ”

"It was fine at the beginning, but after a long time, it was inevitable to raise the high and step on the low. Especially Miss Zhou has not had a satisfactory life on the Cui family's side over the years, and she herself is arrogant and refuses to contact the capital. The mother-in-law sent by the Zhou family deducted the money without permission, colluded with the Cui family, and made things difficult for Miss Zhou. ”

Mu Qingwan always thought that the Zhou family sent eyeliner over, and Zhou Huanting would not have a bad time no matter what, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

"Miss, my subordinate revealed her identity to Miss Zhou, and she said that she wanted to see you."

"Okay."

Mu Qingwan went to see Zhou Huanting that afternoon.

Zhou Huanting was placed in a small courtyard, and this is still the courtyard that Zhou Huanting bought with her own money. The place is not big, it is a simple courtyard. Because she has never had a name, and Zhou Huanting is unwilling to be small, she can only live outside, which is the identity of an outer room.

When Mu Qingwan went, Zhou Huanting was sitting on a recliner in the courtyard, covered with a thin quilt.

After seven years, when she saw Zhou Huanting again, Mu Qingwan couldn't recognize anyone. The thin skinny woman in front of her, with sallow skin, is she still the eldest lady of the Zhou family who was in a hurry?

"Qingwan, you're here."

Zhou Huanting squinted in Mu Qingwan's direction and said with a smile.

"Wan Ting, how could you be like this?"

Mu Qingwan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Qingwan, I knew you were good-looking when I was a child, but I didn't expect that when I grew up, I would be such a charming city. It's a pity that I've become ugly, and this body is still specially changed to see you. ”

Zhou Huanting did not answer Mu Qingwan's question, but laughed and joked. Mu Qingwan pulled her mouth, but found that she couldn't laugh.

"By the way, I gave birth to a son, you don't know yet. Nurse, take Xiao Jia out. You see, this is my son, does he look like me? ”

As soon as Zhou Huanting's words fell, she saw a mother-in-law holding a small doll, walking out of the house, handing it over to Mu Qingwan, and then standing behind Zhou Huanting.

This nurse, Mu Qingwan knew in advance. Zhou Huanting is the only loyal person left around, but after all, people are also old, and they have to take care of the small and the big, where can they take care of so much.

Mu Qingwan hugged the little doll, with big eyes, round, and fleshy little face, and knew that she was well raised at first sight. The fabrics on the child's body are also good, which shows that although Zhou Huanting has a difficult life, she is not negligent at all on the child's body.
