Ran Jiuli shook his head.

Ran Shougong only sighed when he saw such a scene: "After Chang Ning went, his thoughts became more and more difficult to figure out, if Chang Ning was here, I am afraid it would be a different situation now." ”

Ran Jiuli sat down: "Father, don't talk about this now, this time it's about Hebei Province, no matter what he does, it's right, let that prince or the Jiang family act indiscriminately, I'm afraid the frontier will be lost, and none of us want to see such a result." ”

Ran Shougong nodded and said, "No matter what, the frontier must be stable, so we have to help the Li family," Speaking of this, he couldn't help but groan, "How can we help, is it possible to let people go to Jiangnan to collect grain?" ”

Therefore, Li Yue's mind is difficult to understand, and many times over the years, they obviously want to help, but they don't know where to start.

Ran Shougong looked at his daughter, the staff in the family were not as smart as his daughter, and the Ran family had relied on his daughter to plan for him all these years.

Ran Jiuli said: "Father, don't worry, since you want to help, you must have a chance." ”

Coming out of the study, Ran Jiuli immediately ordered: "Take my post and invite Grandma Li San over." ”

The steward answered and immediately went to make arrangements.

Ran Jiuli returned to the house to change his clothes, and heard Ran Liu noisily entering the door: "What about the eldest sister?" ”

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a bruised face was immediately revealed.

Although Ran Jiuli had long known that Ran Liu had been beaten, he still frowned when he suddenly saw Ran Liu's appearance, Ran Liu had been fighting outside since he was a child, but he was rarely so happy when he was beaten.

Not only that, but he also invited himself to the military camp for training, which she never thought of.

"Eldest sister, I invited Grandma Li San over."

Ran Liu smiled, walked in the door and drank the tea "gurgling".

Ran Jiuli looked at Ran Liu: "Didn't uncle beat you?" ”

Ran Liu shook his head: "No, this time we are doing serious things, and my father naturally can't do anything to me," he said and winked, "I can't say that my father still feels honored, and I will go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

Ran Jiuli saw her aunt halfway through, her aunt cried so much that her eyes were red, although Ran Liu would be beaten if she messed around on weekdays, but it was only a pain of flesh and skin, and it was different when she went to the battlefield, and she could die at any time.

However, the uncle was very happy and praised Ran Liu for really coming out, not only did he open a pharmacy seriously, but now he still has the heart to make a name for himself, even if he messes around on weekdays, he won't care.

"Eldest sister, why do you look at me like this?" Ran Liu still had a hippie smile.

Ran Jiuli shook his head: "It's nothing. "The person who has always given the entire Ran family a headache has changed after just going to Taiyuan.

Or rather, Ran Liu hasn't changed, it's just that they haven't noticed it.

Ran Jiuli got up and went to see Ji Yanran.

Ji has subtly changed many things.

Li Jia, Ran Liu, Lin Yujiao, in addition, she always felt that Li Yue's help this time had something to do with Ji Yanran. Li Yong wants to go to Jiangnan to collect grain, in addition to raising military rations for Hebei Province, he also has to prove that everything Ji Chengen did back then was right, and after this incident, Ji Chengen will return to the capital safe and sound.

This is not surprising, because Ji Yanran, the unjust case of the Li family, also went all out to help, even if it was an exchange of benefits, Li Yong should be like this now, what she didn't expect was that Li was dating and reaching out.

Ran Jiuli stood at the door of the house, and through the glass curtain, she saw Ji Yanran looking at the chessboard on the table, which was the remnants of the chess she had played when she left home.

Ji Yanran frowned and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised her head, her eyebrows raised, revealing a smile.

Ran Jiuli suddenly said, "Can you solve this chess game?" ”

Ji Yanran raised her head at this time, just in time to look at Miss Ran, she stepped forward and saluted: "No matter how you look at this game of chess, it is evenly matched, Miss Ran just found someone to have fun with you, and winning or losing is not so important, right?" ”

It turned out that Ji Yanran had figured this out.

Ran Jiuli nodded: "Back then, when I played chess with Chang Ning, the two of us would care about winning or losing at the beginning, and then ...... It's to be able to be together and relieve each other's boredom. ”

The two of them played chess together, talked and laughed together, and they always felt very comfortable in those days.

Ran Jiuli sat down, she looked at Ji Yanran, talking with smart people would make people feel much more relaxed, Ji Shi was undoubtedly such a person: "What are you going to do?" It is not an easy task to raise military rations, and even if Li Yue helps you, I am afraid it will not be easy to get the amount. ”

Miss Ran had already guessed that the fourth uncle was helping them, this was because Miss Ran knew the fourth uncle very well.

Miss Ran has liked the fourth uncle for so many years, but the fourth uncle has never been able to let go of Princess Changning.

It seems that the two of them are having a hard time, if they can get together...... But if feelings can be handled so rationally, it won't be so moving.

Ji Yanran retracted her thoughts and said: "Jiangnan is the only place that is not controlled by the five noble clans and the nobles of the imperial court. ”

Ran Jiuli said: "If there is grain, it may not be sold to the imperial court, and the price given by the imperial court has always been not high. ”

Ji Yanran said with a smile: "The price of grain bought by the imperial court is not high, but there will be another kind of compensation, which is why the fourth uncle will pay a high price to buy land in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Ran Jiuli frowned and pondered.

Ji Yanran continued: "If the canal is dredged, cargo ships and passenger ships can travel to and from the capital and other places, the north is in turmoil and famine, but the south of the Yangtze River is peaceful, and the canal will be prosperous along the way." ”

Ji Yanran said and handed the ear of rice in her hand to Ran Jiuli: "Miss Ran look at this year's rice, the rice in the north has not yet taken shape, and the rice in Jiangnan will be harvested in a while, these two crops of rice can only be cultivated in Jiangnan, if such rice seeds spread, the dignitaries in Beijing will go to Jiangnan to buy fields, and when the land price in Jiangnan rises, those big farmers will naturally profit." ”

When the fourth uncle gave her this ear of rice, she knew the fourth uncle's intentions. The fourth uncle bought land and rice to attract businessmen and dignitaries to go to Jiangnan to buy land.

This is a very simple question, as long as you think about it carefully, you will know that the fourth uncle is not hindering them from harvesting rice at all, but is helping.

Those merchants and farmers are not stupid, only by promoting the military rations to the north can they exchange for canal dredging, and they will have better days in the future.

Ran Jiuli's eyes flashed: "Do you know why I called you over?" ”

Ji Yanran nodded: "Miss Ran wants to help us." "Since Taiyuan Mansion, the Ran family has been helping from it, and the Li family's case is also so smooth because of the Ran family.

Ran Jiuli looked at Ji Yanran, although she would figure out Li Yue's intentions sooner or later, she didn't expect Ji Yanran to think about it before her, not only that, but even knew what she was thinking.

"I will ask the Ran family to go to Jiangnan to buy land and help you," Ran Jiuli continued, "I still have some manpower at home, if you need it, let me know." ”

Ji Yanran got up and thanked Ran Jiuli.

"Don't be so polite," Ran Jiuli looked at the chessboard, "If you have time, come and play chess with me, Yujiao doesn't want to come often to study medicine with you now, I'm very lonely here." ”

Ji Yanran nodded, Ran Jiuli's temperament is very calm, he likes to sit in the room, and he will inevitably feel lonely after a long time.

The two talked together for a while before Ji Yanran said goodbye and left.

Looking at Ji Yanran's figure, Ran Jiuli suddenly had an inexplicable intuition in his heart. Ji's kind of heart should be what Li Yue likes, right? Just like Chang Ning, no matter what he does, she will immediately gain insight.

But Ji is already married to Li Yong, and Li Yue ...... Won't it ......

Ran Jiuli's heart sank suddenly.
