Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng went to Fucheng in a carriage together.

Gu Jingcheng was not good at walking, so Su Xiaomu personally sent him in a wheelchair to Wan Fuzi's house, and then asked the coachman to take her to the grain store.

Sure enough, after Su Xiaomu saw the price of food above, her heart sank violently, and she felt that her worries were real.

Although the overall price of grain has not risen much, even before the autumn harvest, such a small price increase can be said to be a normal move.

But with the worry in her heart at this time, Su Xiaomu really had to think about it.

She asked the coachman to find Aunt Zhao and Zhao Lin, and asked them to go to other grain shops in Fucheng separately, and several people worked together to store grain, Su Xiaomu directly asked the boss to send the grain to the villa, and in order to make the boss's speed faster, Su Xiaomu also added a few taels of silver to the travel expenses.

When the boss of the grain store met a big customer who said this, of course, there was no reason to refuse her, not only did he not ask Su Xiaomu for more travel expenses, but also gave her some old rice.

It was also at this time that Su Xiaomu knew that he still had Chen Mi here, and with a wave of his hand, he took away one-third of her inventory.

Su Xiaomu bought it for a whole day, and after discussing some details of buying grain with the boss, she calculated the current grain in her hand in front of the rice purchase bill sent by the Zhao family.

If she hadn't miscalculated, she would have enough food in her hands to feed everyone on the farm for three months.

If everyone saves food, it is not impossible to eat for half a year.

After understanding the data and determining all the stored grain, Su Xiaomu felt a little more at ease, and he was not as flustered as he was just now.

Everything is going well on her side, and Gu Jingcheng is in some trouble.

As soon as Gu Jingcheng entered the door, he told the master what Su Xiaomu was worried about, but the master did not take what he said to heart, but instead cared about his legs, and hoped that he would get better soon, and he must not miss the meaning of next year's Spring Festival.

Gu Jingcheng knew that Master Wan was caring about himself, but at the moment he really didn't want to talk about these utilitarian things, he just hoped to help Su Xiaomu do what she was worried about, and by the way, he would not let the people be displaced, and he would not have any backhand power in the face of natural disasters.

Therefore, Gu Jingcheng stopped his words when Master Wan was about to ask him about his leg again: "The matter of the student's leg is not important at the moment, the important thing is that if winter really comes early and the autumn harvest is hindered, then the people's work for a year will be in vain, and everyone will not have enough to eat at that time, and Fucheng will inevitably be in chaos!" ”

Gu Jingcheng now believes in Su Xiaomu very much.

What she said must be true, otherwise she wouldn't have followed him to buy food today.

"Where is it so serious?" Wan Fuzi still touched his beard indifferently, "One autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains put on cotton, now the weather has just turned cold, and winter has not yet begun." It's like this every year, but it's a little earlier this year, and there's nothing to worry about too much. ”

Master Wan patted Gu Jingcheng on the shoulder, He has always really cared about Gu Jingcheng, so I hope he won't worry about these details.

Wan Fuzi thought that when he had dinner with his friends in the restaurant a few days ago, he also talked about Gu Jingcheng, and they did not hesitate to praise him, saying that Gu Jingcheng was the most talented student they had seen in Fucheng, or in the capital, in the past ten years.

If it weren't for his leg injury this time, maybe he could really be as they hoped he would be, become the champion of this Chunfu, and serve in the Hanlin Academy from now on, and have the opportunity to become the emperor's right-hand man in the future, so as not to waste his talent, so that these people can have a proud protégé who can be taken in the future.

But that's it...... Now there is a little uncontrollable problem, which makes people feel extremely sorry and hope that there will be a miracle.

Wan Fuzi has always looked at Gu Jingcheng's legs, although Gu Jingcheng has never taken this leg injury to heart, he is still furious by his gaze.

"Master." Gu Jingcheng covered his knees with his palms, he changed his tone and spoke earnestly, "Regardless of whether Xiao Mu and the students are unfounded this time, the people can't afford to gamble, if this winter will come before the autumn harvest, then there is not enough food to survive the winter, and there is not enough money to continue to live, and the city will definitely be in chaos." ”

The people usually look like they are all good people who are easy to grasp and talk, but they are soft.

But once someone touches their roots, wants their lives, and doesn't give them a way to live, then the people go crazy, and it is also frightening, and there is no way to resist it.

Everyone has no food or drink, and if they want to live, they can only do whatever it takes, Gu Jingcheng feels that if things can develop to such a terrifying ending in the end, it is also unbelievable.

"You are so insistent and believe in Mrs. Su so much?"

Master Wan was touched by his earnestness, so he asked him more casually.

"Didn't you already answer the Master's question about the locust plague last time?"

Gu Jingcheng asked Wan Fuzi rhetorically, his eyes followed Wan Fuzi, and he was not willing to leave at all: "If the master doesn't believe it, the student is willing to believe it, if the master is not willing to go to the county master to talk about it, then the student will go by himself, this matter is what Xiao Mu said, then the student will firmly believe it." ”

Gu Jingcheng's voice was loud, and Wan Fuzi suddenly smiled when he saw him like this: "Jingcheng, before I and your sister, I was always worried about the matter between you and Su Niangzi, and I used to think that the two of you were not close enough, but now you think about her in everything, and she is willing to let you come out and give you all the benefits, which is enough to see that the relationship between the two of you is getting better and better." ”

"What does the Master mean?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't know why Master Wanzi suddenly talked about the relationship between him and Su Xiaomu.

"I'll go to the county magistrate later, if there is any, avoid it, and if not, prevent it, don't worry."

After Wan Fuzi said this, he still looked at his legs, his eyes were solemn: "You must protect your body no matter what, now there is still half a year before the Spring Festival, and everything still has a chance." ”

"Students remember the teachings of the Master."

——

When Gu Jingcheng came out of Master Wanzi's house, Su Xiaomu was waiting for him at the door.

She wore a thick cloak on her body, and when it was cold, she rubbed her palms and sighed into her palms.

Otherwise, stand still and stomp your feet.

Su Xiaomu is a vivid and lively image in Gu Jingcheng's memory, as long as he sees her when he is not in the mood to be bored, he will never be angry again, there is always a feeling of dead wood in spring.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly."

As soon as Su Xiaomu saw Gu Jingcheng, he happily stepped forward and pushed him away.
