Chapter 597: The heart moves
After settling the first batch of fleeing orphans, Wei Ruo was busy with potato planting non-stop.
The potatoes harvested in the previous batch and the rent returned to her by the villagers were just enough to make seeds for the people behind them.
After coming and going, Wei Ruo barely had any potatoes left in his hands, and the warehouse was still clean.
In addition, now that Wei Ruo is adopting children and hiring people to build roads, the daily food consumption is very large, and the food they brought over is basically exhausted.
Yu Zixiu was worried that the remaining food would not be enough, and they would eat the crops in the field for a good harvest.
Although there is a lot of silver in the Rui Wangfu, but now in this world, it is difficult to spend money to buy food from the vicinity of the capital or the southern region, and the road is not very smooth, either robbed by the victims or robbed by robbers, even if it can be successfully delivered, it will not be delivered in a month.
When Yu Zixiu was worried, Xiumei led the team to pull eight carts of rice and wheat back to King Rui's mansion.
Yu Zixiu was stunned when he was called by his subordinates to collect grain at the door.
"Miss Xiumei, where did you get all this food?" Yu Zixiu couldn't help but ask.
"It was transported by my young lady in the Zhuangzi in the south, and I went to pick it up." Wei Ruo replied.
In fact, it was in Wei Ruo's space, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, the two discussed a method.
Xiu Meila went out empty, saying that she was going to pick up the grain from the south, but she actually went around in the ravine, and Wei Ruo filled the grain cart and pulled it out.
"Now it is very inconvenient to buy things from the south, there are still many dangers on the way, the fabric I recently purchased from the south has not been shipped so far, which way did you go with this grain, how did it arrive so smoothly?"
"My young lady has her special channel for doing business." Xiumei said the lines that she had thought of a long time ago.
Yu Zixiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of channel can this be more powerful than the official family?
Although I was a little curious, I didn't want to ask too much.
Then he instructed his subordinates to transport all the eight carts of fine grain that Xiumei had brought back to the warehouse for storage.
Xiumei then told Yu Zixiu: "In a few days, there will be several truckloads of sweet potatoes to be delivered, and in the next month, a batch of materials will be delivered every seven or eight days, and it will be troublesome for the Yu official family to vacate all the warehouses in the house." ”
"Okay." Yu Zixiu agreed, and sighed in his heart.
It seems that he is really overthinking, and the eldest lady really has a way.
###
The fifth day of June.
After dinner, Wei Ruo gave Wei Jin a leg massage as he had done in the past two months.
After Wei Jinyi's enlightenment that time, Wei Ruo's attitude towards Wei Jinyi returned to normal, she could face up to her desires for Wei Jinyi and help him massage without distraction.
After two months of cultivation, Wei Jinyi's body has improved.
As Wei Ruo said, the wounds on his body recovered very well, and even the scars were very light.
It's just that the legs can't start walking yet, because the muscles and bones are injured and can't be rushed, otherwise the subsequent recovery will be more troublesome due to the secondary injury.
During this time, the daily massage could not be stopped to ensure that the muscles would not malfunction severely before Wei Jin walked again.
Once, twice.
Wei Ruo's hand pinched Wei Jinyi's leg.
Suddenly, Wei Ruo's hand touched something suddenly, and Wei Ruo's eyes widened suddenly.
Then she looked up at Wei Jinyi.
That face is still cold and cold, indifferent and desireless, as if he is a monk who has left the four major families empty.
However, this is not the case.
"Second brother, why are you ......?"
Wei Jin also frowned slightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry." ”
"Second brother, why are you ......" Wei Ruo's eyes widened, and his expression was still a little dazed.
Wei Jin also pulled the blanket and covered herself tightly.
"Don't care, react naturally, have thoughts and desires, and human nature."
"Second brother has never been like this in the past two months? Is it suppressed? Wei Ruo's expression was still sluggish, and only half of his head was running.
"Ruo'er don't ask again." Wei Jin also said with a serious face, only the crimson of his cheeks revealed the panic in his heart.
Wei Ruo didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he left under the pretext of going to see if the medicine was fried well.
Walking outside, Wei Ruo still muttered in his heart, looking at such a serious person, how could he have such an indecent time!
That...... How can that be!
But when I think about it, I think it should be so.
The two of them were originally husband and wife who had worshiped heaven and earth, and it was reasonable for the second brother to have any thoughts about her.
Then he suddenly remembered what the second brother said that day that he was willing to cooperate with her to have a child, and Wei Ruo's face turned red suddenly.
Something like having a child with my second brother...... This...... It's embarrassing just to think about.
Wei Ruochang blushed and went back to the room.
It just so happened that Zhang Yi sent Xu Zhengyong's letter.
The first half of the letter, as usual, explained his situation and asked Wei Ruoxiumei about her situation.
The second half said that they had recently discovered that a person from the Jurchen tribe had infiltrated Jiliao disguised as a common person, and he was worried that the other party was coming for Wei Jinyi, and reminded Wei Ruo and Wei Jin to be very careful.
Wei Ruo looked at the letter and frowned slightly.
The second brother's injury is not healed yet, so don't do anything else.
Wei Ruozheng looked at the letter and pondered, and Xiumei hurriedly came in: "Miss, there is a woman outside who claims to be the princess of the Jurchen tribe and wants to see you." ”
"She calls herself the princess of the Jurchen tribe?"
"yes, that's exactly what she said." Xiumei said, "Miss, will there be a fraud?" Even if the princess of this Jurchen tribe came to Jiliao, she shouldn't admit her identity so openly, right? Isn't she afraid of being caught? ”
"It's not impossible, because not all of the Jurchen tribes are ambitious, and even if they are, they are now only harassing and not really fighting against the great cause. Therefore, so far, the Great Cause has not closed the pass, and there are still businessmen who come and go between the Jurchens and the Great Cause. Even if a princess from the Jurchen tribe really came over, Daye would not be able to take action against her for peace reasons. Wei Ruo analyzed.
Today's big industry is worried about external troubles, and it will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Then Wei Ruo added. "And Brother Xiao Yong's letter just happened to say this matter, and the two are right."
"Even if she is a real princess of the Jurchen tribe, will she come with bad intentions?" Xiumei asked.
Wei Ruo pondered for a while and then said, "Let's go, go to the door and meet them." ”
General Wei Ruo shouted a few good followers, and then came to the gate.
I saw a group of people standing at the gate, led by a woman dressed as a civilian, not very old, and pretty.
Although she was dressed in civilian clothes, the bearing she displayed did not match her dress.
