She smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem if I don't go, but since we want to buy grain, there will be a lot of grain in Qingzhou City in the future, and it will inevitably become the target of everyone, so that everyone will covet us, then this grain will not be a blessing, but a curse." ”

"Ah, this ......"

Everyone looked at each other.

So this can't be bought, and it's not okay not to buy, what does it mean?

Song Anning raised his hand and said comfortingly: "Don't be discouraged first, I'll just say that, since we have already guessed the result now, it's good to find a way to avoid it, so this time we go to the south to buy grain, we not only have to buy grain, but also disguise ourselves and hide the news, if the grain is transported to the city, I plan to give half to Lord Xu of the government, and half to stay in our own granary." ”

She said, sighing again.

"In addition, if there are conditions, Dad, you try to pick some young people in the city, give them money, rice and food, and then ask someone to train them into militia, at least no matter what happens, you must first ensure the safety of our family."

Song Hexing knew that what she said was right.

He nodded and asked, "Ning'er, what else did you think of?" I said it together, and my father went to do it one by one. ”

Song Anning thought for a while and shook his head, "There is nothing else, we only need to ensure the safety of the people in Qingzhou City, we can't take care of the rest, what we can do is to pay for food, and since the other Xu Zhizhou has already received the letter, it will definitely be prepared, so let's not interfere." ”

"Okay, everything is up to you, in this way, I will send out the list of recruits this afternoon, and when the people are gathered, I will first ask Master Wu to take them to train, and then I will go to the south with your eldest brother, during this time, the business at home will be hard for you two mothers and sons."

As he spoke, he patted Shen Jiao's shoulder.

Shen Jiao smiled and shook his hand back.

"Since it's a husband and wife, what do you say?"

Husband and wife are one, not to mention that at this time, they must help each other and never abandon each other.

Song Hexing nodded heavily.

Song Anning looked at everyone's faces and the atmosphere was more serious, couldn't help laughing, raised the teacup in his hand, and said: "Everyone doesn't have to be downcast, as the saying goes, the old is not gone, the new is not coming, maybe this troubled world is not necessarily a bad thing?" After all, everyone can see what life the people have been doing for so many years, and the people are not doing well, will anyone still buy our things? Therefore, if we can usher in a peaceful and prosperous era after the troubled times, maybe everyone's life will be better in the future, and our business will become more and more prosperous. ”

Her words instantly lifted everyone.

Everyone raised their glasses and touched her.

"Yes, Ning Ning is right, I hope that after this troubled era, there will be a prosperous era of peace, let's toast in advance for this prosperous era."

"!"

The family replaced the wine with tea, and swallowed all the excitement they were full of.

*

It's getting dark.

Song Anning did not rush to leave, but in the study, he explained the plan in detail to the family, down to how much grain to buy, how many ways to buy, how to dress up, etc.

The family had planned to go out until the evening, and they dispersed.

Song Helan and Song Hexing's interest was very high, and even Shen Jiao was brought up with a sense of heroism, only Song Xingzhi was depressed all day, and after dinner, he left his family and walked to the courtyard alone to sit on a stone bench in the courtyard and play the flute.

Song Anning also finished eating and walked out.

She stood under the eaves of the porch and looked at the second brother from a distance.

The second brother was once a well-known talent in Qingzhou City, and he was rich in five cars.

It's just that when he went out with his father, he saw the darkness of officialdom, so he didn't want to be with him, and he was more interested in medicine than studying, so he changed careers and changed to medicine at the age of thirteen.

Today, he is also the most famous doctor of the Holy Hand in several states, near and far.

Those who want to see him can line up from here to the city gate.

But he was still not happy.

Song Anning looked at the flute played by the second brother, quite lonely and resentful, she couldn't help pursing her lips slightly, and probably guessed what the second brother was thinking, but in addition to being distressed, she was helpless.

She stood under the eaves of the porch, silently watching.

waited until the flute was blown to finish before he curled the corners of his lips and walked towards Song Xingzhi while applauding.

"It's been a long time since I've heard my second brother play the flute, it's really fresh and pleasant, and it's been around for three days."

Song Xingzhi smiled faintly.

He put down the flute and asked, "How did you get out?" ”

When Song Anning came out, he not only brought a wine glass, but also a wine jug.

At this time, she put the wine jug on the stone table in front of Song Xingzhi, and said with a smile: "Look at the second brother's interest, so come out and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he poured Song Xingzhi a glass of wine.

Song Xingzhi stood up.

He looked at the cup made of fine jade, the surface of the cup was faint bamboo blue, and the wine in the cup was bright in color, reflecting the light moonlight, which was very intriguing to look at.

This is the wine recipe provided by the owner of Qunfang Building, and it is the most popular liquor nowadays.

I heard that as soon as this wine was promoted, it was bought by the rich, and now it has been fried to dozens of taels of silver a pot.

Hehe.

Dozens of taels.

That's enough food for the poor for several years.

But in the eyes of some people, it is just a pot of wine for them.

Song Xingzhi raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

Song Anning was pouring himself wine, and he didn't wait for him, so he drank it first, knowing that the second brother was in a bad mood, he didn't care, and only asked: "The second brother is worried about what I said today?" ”

Song Xingzhi didn't answer her.

This wine is really strong.

Since he studied medicine, he pays attention to health preservation, and he is never good at drinking, so this delicious wine has been tasted by all the family, but he has not tasted it.

It was the first time he had tasted it, and when he had drunk it, he felt that it was spicy from his throat to his heart, and his face was red with choking, and his eyes were full of tears.

He didn't answer Song Anning, he just staggered to his feet, held the cup, and shouted to Xiang Mingyue: "Simmer the guest mink and rat Qiu, the sad tube chases the Qingse, persuades the guest camel's hoof soup, the frost orange presses the fragrant orange, the Zhumen wine and meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road......"

Song Anning looked at it, and his heart twitched.

Second brother......

"Ning Ning." Song Xingzhi turned his head, staggered to look at her, and said with a smile with red eyes: "Are we considered Zhumen?" Can this glass of wine save the bones of a few people who were frozen to death and starved to death on the side of the road? ”

"Second brother, don't be like this."

Song Anning was prepared early in the morning, but he couldn't help but be moved by Song Xingzhi.

She wanted to persuade Song Xingzhi, but was pushed away by Song Xingzhi.

"You don't have to persuade me, in fact, I know that you are right, I know that this world is too chaotic, the world is unfair, I know that with our strength, we can't save everyone, you are right......"
