Chapter 223: The food has arrived

"Three days, rest assured, grain and grass will be delivered in one day at most. Su Qing smiled: "I just have a batch of grain hoarded not far from the southwest, and Ning Wen happened to come here to buy grain from the landlords." ”

Her decision to help Ning Wen was so right in the first place.

There is a war in the southwest, and people who have a few money in their families will want to take refuge in a safe place.

And the food hoarded at home is inconvenient to take away, so they will be in a hurry to sell it for money. Ning Wen personally came to buy grain, and the price she gave was fair, and she collected a lot. This girl is willing to endure hardships, is willing to run, and has brains.

If a man is sure to be able to gain a firm foothold in the court, it is a pity that no matter how much Su Qing values her, it is impossible for a woman to enter the court as an official.

After receiving Su Qing's reply, Bai Liyu arranged for an army to go to the rear to transport grain. In fact, there is no grain in the three granaries in the southwest.

Before, the southwest was garrisoned by Qi Beiyu, and almost all the local taxes went into Qi Beiyu's pocket, and he squandered it, not to mention how poor he was in the treasury.

Although not everyone of the local officials has the same virtue as Qi Beiyu, they dare not speak out. At the beginning, Qi Beiyu even dared to assassinate Qing Yibo, which shows that this person's power in the local area is generally unprovoked.

The hounds trained in Beasttown can only smell the food, but they can't tell the quantity. After nightfall, Baili Yu pretended to arrange heavy troops to quietly transport grain, and the army that transported a small amount of grain and grass and countless hay at noon the next day was attacked.

At this time, Ning Wen's caravan had already arrived outside the border city.

Now that the entry and exit control in the city is strict, Ning Wen has already written a letter to Su Qing, and Su Qing personally went to greet her.

Seeing Ning Wen in the dust, Su Qing's eyes were full of smiles: "You came so fast, it's hard for you to be a girl running around all day, come and rest with me." ”

Ning Wen wiped the sweat from his face, "It's not hard to serve the princess, this is the account book." ”

Qing'er also came with Ning Wen, and she was very happy to see Su Qing: "Princess, Miss Ning is in a hurry this way, I'm afraid that I will delay your big event." ”

Su Qing remembered Ning Wen's merits, and the people of the caravan asked Rong'er to entertain him.

Over there, Shangguan Yan was directing the people in the army to unload the goods, and when he saw that it was Ning Wen who came with supplies, he had some complicated emotions in his eyes, and he wanted to step forward to say hello, but he saw that the girls over there were very happy, and even Bai Liyu couldn't interject when he stood behind Su Qing, so he could only give up.

Ning Wen got into the carriage back to his home, and Su Qing and Baili Yu rode the horse, now that there is war in the southwest, there is no rule in the city that you can't ride a horse in the city.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Su Qing turned his head and glanced at the man who was not smiling.

Baili Yulou leaned at her soft body: "What do you mean?"

He especially enjoyed the feeling of swaggering through the market with Su Qing upstairs, and the people all gave way when they saw them along the way, casting envious eyes on them, only thinking that the third prince and the third princess were really a pair of fairy couples.

Su Qing said, "Didn't you deliberately arrange for Shangguan Yan to receive grain and grass?"

Su Qing noticed Shangguan Yan's eyes at Ning Wen before, and Ning Wen probably noticed it too, but she didn't have the heart to pay attention to it now.

Bai Liyu looked innocent, "This has nothing to do with me, it's Qing Yibo's order." ”

"Oh, I'll just say, where are you so careful. ”

There was not enough accommodation in the southwest, so Ning Wen lived in the same courtyard with Su Qing and slept in the room next to her.

Clothes and water were prepared for Ning Wen and Qing'er, let them take a bath first, and let people prepare meals, Su Qing looked through the account books in this gap.

After the grain and grass on Shangguan Yan's side were settled, the affairs in the Qingyi Bo Army were almost dealt with, and the ancestors and grandchildren came over together, and it happened that the meal was almost going to be opened here.

Bai Liyu greeted them outside, and Su Qing put down the ledger and went out with Ning Wen when he learned that they were coming.

"Uncle is actually interested in coming over to eat together, it seems that I am stained with Miss Ning's light. Su Qing smiled and sat down.

Ning Wen saw that Qing Yibo did not refute Su Qing's words, and suddenly became a little shy: "The courtiers are also doing things according to the princess's orders." ”

Qing Yibo already knew that the grain was purchased by Su Qing, although he was surprised, but at this moment he was even more surprised by Ning Wen.

"The southwest has always been poor, how can you get so much food?"

Ning Wen said in a regular manner: "The poor are ordinary people, and the rich are still very rich." In the war in the southwest, they did not dare to let the court know that they had grain in their hands, but the courtiers traded with them as merchants, and the price was fair, of course they would not refuse. ”

Qingyibo couldn't help but frown: "The people don't dare to make a deal with the imperial court?"

Ning Wen hurriedly explained: "It's just that the people in the southwest land are like this, it seems to be ...... I used to suffer some losses at the hands of the imperial court. ”

Qing Yibo immediately understood what was going on, and his face turned blue with anger: "This Qi Beiyu, the reputation of the imperial court has been ruined by him!"

His face changed, but Ning Wen was startled.

Su Qing hurriedly appeased, "Uncle, Qi Beiyu has already contracted the epidemic and died, don't be angry with him." Eat, eat, I'm starving. ”

"Miss Ning didn't shout hungry all the way, but you are dying of hunger. ”

Qing Yibo glanced at his son imperceptibly, and then looked at Ning Wen with a kind face: "Miss Ning is really a rare good girl. ”

Shangguan Yan: "......"

What does his grandfather want to do?

Ning Wen really didn't feel that he had made much credit, and he was really embarrassed to be praised like this: "Uncle has won the award." ”

After eating a meal, Su Qing deliberately paid attention to it and found that Ning Wen didn't seem to have paid much attention to Shangguan Yan.

After eating, Ning Wen wanted to go to see the accompanying guards first, Su Qing was approved, and she deliberately called Shangguan Yan to stop.

"Brother Shangguan Yan, what does he think of Miss Ning?"

Shangguan Yan was stunned for a moment when asked, and then said: "It's not bad, I didn't expect that she would be able to transport grain and grass for the army as a girl." ”

"It's just not bad, then forget it, you go about your business. ”

Shangguan Yan frowned: "Su Qing, do you have anything else you want to tell me?"

"What do I want to say, Brother Shangguan doesn't know what he wants? It is Ning Wen's biological mother who has a friendship with the second lady, and Shangguan Yan's position as the wife originally belonged to Ning Wen. ”

Shangguan Yan didn't count, and knew that Su Qing wanted to say this: "My marriage with Ning Wen has long been withdrawn, and the marriage contract with Ya'er has also been decided, how can I regret the marriage? ”

"I believe that she is gentle and kind, and if she is not gentle and kind, she can't snatch her sister's fiancΓ©, right?"

Shangguan Yan opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but was speechless.
