During this time, Ping'er has been taking care of the children. I didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the food team, and when I heard the words of the mandarin duck, I also looked at the account book curiously.

Seeing the numbers above, I was only slightly surprised and returned to normal. The mansion has been in charge of her all these years, and she knows the family background of Ning Guofu best, she is not too surprised to see so much silver, she has never doubted Jia Cong's ability to make money.

Ping'er smiled and said: "Mandarin duck, not everyone has the ability of our master, when we were in Rongguo Mansion in the past, what was the income in the mansion over there, you don't know, tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and eat the grain." After our lord started to do business, Xifu also got a lot of light, and life got better and better, and many relatives were also touched. Xue Baochai said with a smile: "My brother has the most light, not only has he made money over the years, but he has also become much better with his grandfather, knowing that he is motivated, my mother is very happy, and he said that the master is a noble person of the Xue family." Lin Daiyu said: "This time selling grain, the Lin family also made a lot of money, I went home a few days ago, and my father also told me about it." He said that he had made a lot of money this time, and if I had used the money, I would have taken it from home. I said that our family earns more, where do we need to take money from here to spend. As he spoke, he picked up the account book and glanced at it, pointed to a sum of silver below and asked, "Where did these two sums of money come from, and why are they recorded separately?" Xue Baochai said with a smile: "We are already a small rich man at such a young age, and one of them is the soldiers under the command of the master, and some businessmen in Shaanxi, who gave more than 60,000 taels of silver to the people who broke the captivity." The master said that in the future, the gift money collected by the children will belong to the children themselves, and we will only help them keep it temporarily. Lin Daiyu said: "Well, the master also told me, then do as the master said, do the accounts well, our family is really not short of such a little silver, and the child is also blessed to follow the master." Ping'er said happily: "I thank my lord for Poyu, thank you, thank you, wife." Xue Baochai said again: "There is still a sum of money, and the master did not explain it, but I heard my brother say that there are many big businessmen who colluded with traitors in Shaanxi, and they all let the master raid their homes." When Lin Daiyu heard this, she guessed the origin of this money, Brother Cong likes to raid his house wherever he goes, it seems that there is really a lot of oil and water.

"Well, we just need to know this kind of thing ourselves, don't spread it, otherwise it will be bad for the master's reputation." Xue Baochai said: "I naturally know this, that is, I told you, but I haven't told others, so much silver, I don't know if the master is clean, I'm a little worried." Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "There's nothing to worry about, it's not the first time I've done it, in the capital, in Jiangnan, but I haven't copied my home, rest assured." The mandarin duck smiled and said: "Qingwen and the others, they must have made a lot of money this time, and they are all rich masters." Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "A few of them are responsible for protecting the safety of the master, and they follow the master from birth to death, and it is also appropriate to get more, I am a little envious of them, and I follow the master every day, but unfortunately the master does not let me follow." Xue Baochai smiled: "I've heard the master say that the old lady Lin warned the old man not to let the old man take you to the battlefield." Lin Daiyu said embarrassedly: "The master is really, how can you say anything." At this time, there was a burst of chuckling outside the door, and Shi Xiangyun, Xichun, Tanchun and others walked in together.

Xue Baochai quietly closed the account book and put it away. Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin, Sister Bao, you are all here, let's take a look at the captive." Xichun ran up, teased the captive, and said with a smile: "Good nephew, hurry up and call your aunt, it's really getting cuter and cuter the longer you get." Ping'er smiled: "It's still early, you can't learn to call people until you are a year old." Tanchun said: "Sister Lin, did the third brother write to you?" I didn't say when I would be back. Lin Daiyu said: "Your brother may have been a little busy recently, and he hasn't written back, and we don't know when he will come back." Yingchun said: "With such a big snow, it must be difficult to walk on the road, and I don't know if the snow in Shaanxi is big." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "It snowed last year, we went to Luxue Nunnery to enjoy the snow poems, but the excitement is greater, this year's snow is bigger, and it has not stopped until now, tomorrow I will be the host, please go to the garden to enjoy the snow poems, you must come." Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Where is it used here, Sister Yun is the host, there are countless kinds of sweets and pastries at home, just take it and use it directly." Lin Daiyu also smiled: "Although we don't treat you as an outsider, but in our family, how can there be any reason for guests to break the bank, Brother Cong has already said that the expenses of the poetry club and the expenses in the courtyard are all covered by our side." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Of course I know this, but our Shi family followed the third brother to do the grain business this year, but we made a fortune, and my aunt was happy to let people send me some money, I generally mean it." Ping'er smiled: "Your aunt hasn't forgotten that you, a great hero, still think about you." Shi Xiangyun said: "How can I say that I am also a member of the Shi family, seeing that my family is living in poverty, I naturally can't ignore it, so I ask to come to your family and follow the third brother to get some light." Now that life at home is getting better and better, you can still afford to have a host, and you are not allowed to refuse. Several people looked at each other and agreed.

Lin Daiyu said: "Okay, then we will agree, where will the poetry club be held tomorrow?" Seeing that everyone agreed, Shi Xiangyun was also very happy, and said with a smile: "It's in Yihong Courtyard, the scenery there is also very good, I'll go and inform my sister-in-law when it's settled." Everyone played around together for a while, and then they dispersed.

······ Grand View Garden, Kusui-an. Miaoyu sat in front of the desk, looking at the snowflakes that kept falling outside the door, and Jia Cong's figure resurfaced in front of her eyes.

This is the first time that the two have been separated for such a long time since they got acquainted a few years ago. When we meet often, I don't feel that I suddenly can't see people for a long time, and my heart seems to be missing something, and my longing is getting deeper and deeper.

remembered that when it snowed last year, Jia Cong was accompanying her to taste tea and enjoy the snow. But today, it is also snowing heavily in the sky, but his sweetheart is not around, leaving him alone, alone, enjoying the snow alone.

I don't know what happened to him over there, when will he be able to come back? At this time, is it also snowing heavily on his side, is he also drinking tea and enjoying the snow like himself, is he also missing himself as he misses him?

"Hey, I hope he can be safe and sound, and the class teacher will return to the court as soon as possible." Exactly: I only wish that your heart is like my heart, and I will live up to my love.

······ Shaanxi, Tongchuan, Dashuaifu. At this time, Jia Cong, Qingwen, Han Nianci, and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were sitting around a big iron stove.

The blazing flames of the people rising in the furnace made the temperature in the room extraordinarily warm, and there was no need to wear even a coat.

There was a large iron pot sitting on the stove, steaming hot, and the mutton in the pot was constantly tumbling with the boiling soup, and a strong aroma of meat spread in the room.

Qingwen scooped up a piece of mutton and put it in Jia Cong's bowl. said with a smile: "Dashuai, you can taste it, Sister Nianci's cooking skills are getting better and better." Jia Cong took a bite, the juice was overflowing, and the taste was indeed great.

Han Nianci not only has good medical skills, but under the guidance of Jia Cong, he is also a master of medicinal diet.

The medicinal diet is not only delicious and nutritious, but also has more maintenance and physiotherapy effects. Over the years, Han Nianci would make a medicinal meal for Jia Cong every day to help him regulate his body.

During the expedition with the army, he was responsible for Jia Cong's food, not letting others interfere, and almost every meal was nourishing medicinal food.

With Han Nianci, a professional nurse by her side, Jia Cong can toss at will without worrying about her physical condition.

Jia Cong said with a look of enjoyment: "It's delicious, the food made by Nianci is getting better and better, and it is also a kind of enjoyment to be able to eat the food made by Nianci." Han Nianci said happily: "As long as the handsome man likes to eat, it's just that the ingredients here are indeed less, and the handsome man has to take care of one or two more." Jia Cong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Shaanxi is in chaos like this, coupled with the drought for many years, everything that can be eaten has been eaten, and businessmen dare not come over to do business, so naturally there is a shortage of this." Ben Shuai is not a person who can't endure hardship, just do what you want. Qingwen smiled: "Dashuai, you see the snowflakes floating outside, we are sitting around the stove, now like this, do you feel that it is similar to in Liaodong, as if you have returned to the way you were in Liaodong?" When Jia Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The expression was in a trance, and the picture in the memory seemed to return to the front again. The same heavy snow, the same stewed meat, the same seven people sitting together, eating, drinking and merry, and even sitting in the same position, there is almost no difference.

Those days were also the most carefree days for me, the most memorable days, and the starting point of my glory.

Although the scenes are so similar, this Shaanxi has never been Liaodong, and several people have grown up, no longer the teenagers they used to be, and everything has become different.

The only constant is that the relationship between several people is always the same. Thinking of this, he glanced at a few people with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's really quite similar, as if we really returned to Liaodong, or the seven of us are together, eating hot pot around the stove together." Xia Zhu grinned and said: "It's really exactly the same, but here is far worse than Liaodong, when we are in Liaodong, all kinds of mountain delicacies, pine nuts, melon seeds and other dried fruits, we can't eat them at all." Qiu Ju also said: "Yes, all kinds of birds and animals, mountain delicacies and game, this month to eat, there is no duplicate, which is like here, except for mutton, I can't find anything else." Dongmei said: "You two are foodies, and you think about eating all day long." Xia Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Cut, can't you eat less, and you're embarrassed to talk about us?" Chunlan said: "After all, this is a disaster area, there has been a drought for several years, and even the bark of grass roots has been eaten, what game do you think can survive?" Although Liaodong is cold, the climate is harsh, and there are deep mountains and old forests everywhere, in the same way, the beast resources are also very rich, and there are countless wild delicacies in various mountains, which are more like a natural treasure house. Han Nianci said: "Chunlan is right, it's like this here, there are no good things, and those sheep are still bought by Dashuai on the grassland." Jia Cong said: "This Shaanxi is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, which can be said to be worse, just like locusts crossing the border, where everything is eaten up, leaving only a barren land." There is no recovery in a few years. Only by exterminating those rebels as soon as possible and restoring grain prices to the previous normal prices will we be able to enable the common people of Shaanxi to live a stable life as soon as possible. Qingwen said: "Dashuai's kindness, but many people don't appreciate it, and now there are some rumors outside, saying that Dashuai kills innocents indiscriminately, uses power for personal gain, makes the country difficult to make money, and makes black money, I can be angry when I hear it, and I grabbed the man and beat him hard." Jia Cong didn't get angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "These words should be deliberately spread by some ill-intentioned people, and their purpose is self-evident, that is, to discredit Ben Shuai in order to achieve his ulterior purpose." These people were either rebel soldiers or some local grain merchants, because the grain we brought in was cheap, so they couldn't sell the grain in their hands, and they lost a lot of money. In addition, those who have been raided by us, their relatives and friends, complain about them, or some fish have come back and want to avenge their families. Chunlan said worriedly: "Dashuai, then what should we do, just let them smear Dashuai?" Qiu Ju said: "Dashuai, these people are so ignorant of life and death, verbally attacking Dashuai, they are really looking for death, it is better to take advantage of the war to clean them all up." Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said, "Well, now that the snow is sealed, and the army can't attack the city, then take advantage of this time to clean up all those who have ill intentions." Wait and notify Tie Zhu and Li Biao, let them investigate clearly, find out who is behind the scenes, and then wipe out those people. Now is a special period, and the troubled times should be re-enacted, and it is no wonder that Ben Shuai is ruthless. Qingwen said hatefully: "It should have been like this a long time ago, if you don't give them some color to see, they won't know that Lord Ma has three eyes." Han Nianci said worriedly: "Dashuai, if you kill too many people, once it reaches the imperial court, will those officials impeach Dashuai, if this is the case, it will be a troublesome matter." Several people also looked at Jia Cong at the same time, showing a worried look.

Just last year, his own handsome man was idle by the imperial court for more than half a year. The virtues of those people in the court, they know very well.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's okay, it's the war now, everything has the final say in the marshal, whether it is a bandit or a hidden spy, it is a capital crime, and those who are against the marshal are all traitors and can be executed." ”
