The "Squeak" door is opened.

The two guards entered the room, looked around the corner, and finally stopped in front of the painting, and the two of them slid their Adam's apples, only the sound of gurgling and sobbing could be heard, and their hands slowly reached out to the woman in the painting, gently rubbing the woman's face on the painting.

"What for?" A gruff voice came from outside the house.

The two people in the room were startled, and immediately withdrew their hands and turned around: "No, I didn't do anything."

One of them reacted: "We are on patrol, we just heard a voice in the courtyard, come in and take a look around, what is the matter with the second master coming to the main courtyard of the village so late?"

The man outside the house shouted, "Sneaky, don't get out of here."

"Yes." The two guards shrank their heads and quickly retreated, and then a tall, broad-shouldered man walked in.

The man was about thirty years old, with a mediocre appearance, a square face, two pairs of eyebrows almost together, and his eyes turned from side to side alertly, and then stood in front of the painting for a moment before turning away.

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, behind the bed, a large box that was not tightly covered was lifted from the inside. Zhao Qianqian crept out of the box, listened to the door for a while, there was no movement outside, and gently opened the door and walked out.

There was someone guarding the gate, which obviously didn't work, and Zhao Qianqian looked around the house for another way out.

As a result, she really found a back door in the kitchen, which was inserted into the latch from the inside, Rao is so, Zhao Qianqian still threw a small pebble outside the courtyard wall, and after waiting for a moment There was no movement outside, and then gently opened the door and went out of the yard.

On the other side, Shen Junchen quickly whipped his horse, changed eight fat and strong horses on the road, and finally returned to the imperial city on the ninth day, but unfortunately the emperor went to the imperial tomb to worship his ancestors, and he couldn't see it, so he went home.

As soon as I entered the gate of the house, I happened to meet my mother to send the prime minister's wife and the prime minister's eldest daughter, although Shen Junchen was wearing a mask, but he couldn't hide his heroic temperament.

The woman hid her face in shame and saluted, and Mrs. Chengxiang nodded with satisfaction: "Ling Lang is really getting more and more handsome, Mrs. Shen is really a blessing!"

"Madame has won the award, this long time I don't go home, it's hard for me to see each other!" Mrs. Shen smiled from ear to ear, saying that she had won the award, but in her heart: There is no one in the whole Qianqiu Kingdom who can compare to my son!

The next day, Shen Junchen was about to enter the palace, and a father-in-law came to read the holy decree.

Asked General Zhenguo to come out to receive the order, and when he heard this, the whole house came out and knelt on the ground.

The father-in-law's shrill voice read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, I heard that the eldest daughter of the prime minister, Shangguan Wan'er, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding character. Now the general of Zhenguo is delayed for state affairs, and he has passed the year of the weak crown, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman and mate. On the value of Shangguan Wan'er to be in the boudoir, and the general Zhenguo can be called heavenly, in order to become the beauty of the beauty, the special general Shangguan Wan'er Xu with the general Zhenguo as the wife of the main room. Nian Chengxiang and General Zhenguo worked hard and made great achievements, and all the etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to jointly handle it, and the marriage was completed on a good day. Admire!"

Mrs. Shen's face was full of surprise, and she kowtowed three times in the direction of the royal family.

After a while, Shen Junchen did not accept the order, and his father-in-law urged: "General Zhenguo will take the order!"

．．

Zhao Qianqian returned to the courtyard, she was not sleepy at all, she took out the computer, checked the financial management, and the forward income added up to three taels of silver.

Recently, repairing river embankments and bridges, building iron chains and locks, buying a lot of iron ore, spending thousands of taels of silver, Zhao Qianqian couldn't help but sigh, it's really like flowing water!

I haven't had time to count how much it used, but she divided the accounts clearly, and all the costs of building river embankments and repairing bridges were paid from gold.

Took a look at the gold income...... Wait, isn't it dazzling, she rubbed her eyes, and then looked at one hundred and eight taels, she really read it right?

I looked at it again and again to make sure that one hundred and eight taels was right, and I didn't expect that the price of gold had been rising recently, but there must be a demon when things go wrong.

In his previous life, Zhao Qianqian knew that the price of gold would rise sharply in times of war, which should be

Nothing big is going to happen, is it?

The next day, Zhao Qianqian came to the courtyard arranged by Li Xiaoran for the disciples of the Qiancheng Camp, and Erhu had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

As soon as he saw Zhao Qianqian coming in, Erhu asked anxiously, "Sister, you are here, these people don't let us out, what should we do?"

"Oh, it's okay, let the brothers rest in the morning, I'll take you out to see the land outside the cottage, and then you take everyone to open up the wasteland in the afternoon."

As he was talking, a little maid came in, Zhao Qianqian recognized her, she was the little maid in the Li family's courtyard, and she went to Li Xiaoran's courtyard after she came out of the courtyard where Zhao Qianqian lived last night.

The little maid saluted Zhao Qianqian: "Miss, you were served by the slave maid during the cottage, if you have anything to do, you can tell the maid to do it."

Zhao Qianqian smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong here, you go down first."

"The young master said, let the slave maid follow the young lady, you can't slack off."

This is to arrange someone to monitor her every move, if Zhao Qianqian refuses, it will seem that there is no silver three hundred taels here: "Okay, let's go to the outside of the cottage to see the terrain, let's go."

Zhao Qianqian took the two tigers and the little maid to the outside of the cottage, the mountain was very cold, and the dew on the half-human-high grass was wet, and when it entered the ground, it would soon get the clothes wet.

Zhao Qianqian pointed to the wasteland on the side of the road: "Starting from this one, when the dew dries up in the afternoon, you will open up more wasteland, and turn the land tomorrow morning to plant wheat, every day, so as to avoid the dew from wetting your clothes."

Erhu glanced at the little girl, and stopped talking.

Zhao Qianqian said: "What's the matter, let's say, we are here to farm and work."

"Well, yesterday we ate the food we brought for dinner, and the cottage didn't give us food, so we only had the leftover food on the road, which is estimated to be only enough for three days, and they didn't give us food seeds, and we didn't have any seeds when we opened up the wasteland."

"This is not going to work, time cannot be delayed." Zhao Qianqian said, turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

"The slave's name is Apricot."

"You take me to see your young master, I have something to discuss with him."

Xing'er hesitated: "The young master doesn't let people disturb him, if you have anything, I'll report to the young master first."

Zhao Qianqian thought for a while: "It's okay, you just say that the people who came to open up the wasteland for the cottage need food, and ask him to arrange to send some food to the courtyard where the Qiancheng camp lives."

"Isn't Miss going back to the village now?" Apricot asked.

Zhao Qianqian pointed to the endless wasteland: "We have to take a look again, you can quickly go and ask back and forth."

Xing'er thought about it, but went back to the cottage.

Zhao Qianqian said to Erhu: "Tell your brothers, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, you can only walk around in the field and in the courtyard, don't move around anywhere else, tell me what you have to do, I'll deal with it, and try to avoid the people in the cottage."

"If the cottage people don't give us food, what will we do next? This is for them to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out, they really won't give it, we'll buy it ourselves."

If you don't want it openly, you will come secretly, how can these robbed money be cheaper for this group of bandits? She can always figure out a way, and if she can't get food, she will exchange it for silver.

There are no title deeds on these wastelands, and who can prove that these above-ground cottages are there? Plant it first, and there's always a way to get it.

Of course, this is not to be known to others, and the more people who know, the more dangerous it is.

The two walked along the avenue, about two or three miles, Zhao Qianqian found that there were heart-shaped green leaves in the grass, and there was a yellow-green patch under the grass.

"Sweet potato?" Erhu asked.

Zhao Qianqian stretched out his hand: "Yes, take a sickle to pry it open to see if there are any sweet potatoes underneath."

"Hey, I'm coming!" The second tiger was also full of joy, and used a sickle to pry and plane the ground where the sweet potato vines grew, and soon shoeed out several large sweet potatoes.

Some are black, the skin is thick and cracked, this kind of seed is not dug up in the previous year, the formation of seeds, this sweet potato tastes sweet and tastes, better than the season.

Erhu asked, "Why are there so many sweet potatoes here?" Will not

Could it be a bandit species?"

Zhao Qianqian pointed to a thatched hut with only a few pillars left not far away: "These were planted by the villagers who used to live on this mountain, and they were often robbed by these mountain bandits, and they all moved away, and the grain planted was not harvested, and these lands became wasteland."

"I'm going to call my brothers to dig sweet potatoes." Erhu said that he was about to go back.

Zhao Qianqian hurriedly stopped him: "Cover this place with grass, don't let people find out, let's see how many there are around."

The two walked in the field for most of the hour, and before they finished walking the field with sweet potatoes, they saw Xing'er running towards this side from a distance.

Zhao Qianqian whispered: "Don't say that there are sweet potatoes here, let's see what Xing'er says first, and then we will make plans."

Xing'er ran out of breath, propping her hands on her knees: "Miss...... The young master said that there was no food in the village...... In two days, I will arrange for someone to buy it, and when the food in the village arrives, I will send it to you."

Erhu was puzzled, "Since there are all of them, why do you have to buy them after two days?"

Xing'er relieved her breath and straightened up: "The young master said that there have been a lot of things in the past few days, and you can't pull away, if you are in a hurry, you can buy it yourself first, and when you buy it, you can also help us buy some back."

Zhao Qianqian thought for a while: "Since your young master is busy, it's not impossible for us to buy it, but we don't have any silver, so do you take the silver to buy grain from him?"

Xing'er said, "The young master said, let the young lady put the silver on first, and return it when the cottage raises the silver."

didn't take the food out, and wanted them to provide food to the cottage, which was so thick-skinned that the cannon couldn't break it.

Erhu blushed with anger when he heard this: "This is not a Ming robbery......

"Okay, we'll figure it out ourselves." Zhao Qianqian interrupted Erhu's words.

The three of them went back to the village, and at lunch, Zhao Qianqian and the brothers of the future camp ate together, and Xing'er followed inch by inch, and Zhao Qianqian couldn't tell everyone about sweet potatoes.

A cold wind blew, and Zhao Qianqian shivered a few times: "Ah! Ahh

"Miss, are you cold, the slave will go and bring you some clothes."

"Hmm." Zhao Qianqian nodded.

After Xing'er left, Zhao Qianqian whispered to Erhu: "Tomorrow lunch, take the pot outside the city to cook, bring some rice and dig some sweet potatoes to cook together, don't dig too many sweet potatoes, eat as much as you want, don't let the people in the village find out."

Erhu said in a low voice, "We don't have much rice left, even if we add sweet potatoes, we won't be able to eat it for a few days."

"I'll figure it out, remember, whatever edible you find in the field, don't bring it back to the cottage."

After lunch, Zhao Qianqian followed everyone out of the village, Xing'er followed without leaving an inch, Zhao Qianqian didn't take it seriously, walked around in the field, and the little girl quickly lost in the grass taller than people.

Zhao Qianqian walked around to the woods and stood next to a big rock: "Come out."
