Chapter 904 Kennel

The weather is getting hotter. While fanning the air with a fan, Yurong said, "It's so hot, and I don't know when it will rain?" It hasn't rained for more than half a month, and the weather is very muggy. But now the ice is extremely expensive, and the heat is not unbearable, so Yurong is reluctant to use ice at this time.

Honghua said uncertainly: "It should be soon!"

Yurong put down her fan and said, "If it doesn't rain anymore, the grain production will definitely decrease." She doesn't make money by selling grain now, but she also hopes that the remaining 800 mu of land can supply the mansion for a year. Buy extra food.

Honghua said: "If things go on like this, the grain will definitely rise again. Ma'am, why don't we store some grain too!"

In the afternoon, Yurong invited Mr. Gao over and talked about the situation outside: "Sir, I am worried that there will be a major drought, and I want to buy some rice noodles and oil and salt for storage." In fact, they have already secretly stored a cellar of grain , These grains are enough for her, brother Zheng and Mr. Gao's family to eat for two years.

Mr. Gao has no objection to Yurong's purchase of grain, oil, salt, etc., but he thinks that the quantity should not be too much: "Madam, the amount of grain purchased for a month is almost enough. By July, the farm's grain should also be harvested." Eight hundred mu For fertile land, even if the age is not good, one hundred thousand catties of grain can still be received. There are more than 100,000 catties of grain, which is enough to feed the mansion for nearly a year.

Yurong nodded: "Then I'll buy more oil, salt and other things." The price of food has risen, and so have the prices of other things. Therefore, she plans to buy more daily necessities.

Mr. Gao has no objection to this.

Yurong thought for a while and asked: "Sir, it was rumored that King Ming is the God of War, and now it is rumored that King Ming is the God of Killing. Which one is true and which one is false?"

Mr. Gao said: "King Ming is both the God of War and the God of Killing." Seeing Yu Rong's puzzled face, Mr. Gao explained: "The reason why he is the God of War is that he has never lost a battle in these years. It is said that he is the God of Killing because the people who died in his hands can be counted in tens of thousands." In fact, Yunqing is not without defeat. Not on him.

Yurong felt that this was a bit one-sided: "Have you never lost a battle? I remember that the fourth sister lost a big battle in the second year of her marriage. It is said that nearly 100,000 people died."

Mr. Gao explained with a smile: "At that time, he was not the chief general, and this defeat should not be attributed to him. Besides, if he hadn't burned the food and grass of the North captives in that battle, Yucheng would not be able to keep it. And wait Since he became the general of Yucheng, he has never lost a battle." Since he became the general of Yucheng, he has also drawn a draw with the Beiyao people, and he has not suffered a big loss.

Yurong really didn't understand these things in depth: "Then can he destroy Beiyao this time?"

Mr. Gao shook his head and said: "It is impossible to kill all the barbarians in the North, but if the rumors outside are true, then the North will definitely suffer heavy losses this time. After this war, the North will gain decades peace." After a pause, Mr. Gao said: "The problem of the captivity in the north is solved, then King Ming and Princess Ming will have no worries, and then they will prepare for the attack on the capital?"

Yu Rong was not interested in these, and said, "Then how long do you think it will take for them to come in?"

Mr. Gao said: "At least two years, at most three years. In fact, if King Ming hadn't attacked Beiyao first, the capital might not be safe now." As for why Yunqing wanted to attack Beiyao first instead of the capital, Mr. Research.

Yurong was silent for a while and asked: "Sir, do you think the situation will be worse than it is now after King Ming takes over the capital?"

Mr. Gao shook his head and said: "No, King Ming and Princess Ming are the Lords of England, and when they win the world, the situation will only get better and better."

Yu Rong said with a smile: "Mr.

I'm not going anywhere, just stay in the capital with peace of mind. "

Mr. Gao is such a shrewd person, he understood immediately after hearing this: "Did the uncle say something to the wife?"

Yurong didn't deny it, and said: "Ah Cheng also felt that the capital would be in danger, so he wanted to go to Liaodong to buy property. He came to find me two days ago and asked me if I want to buy some property as well." Yurong didn't want to go to Liaodong, so the two God has been hesitating.

Mr. Gao hurriedly said: "Madam, you must not go to Liaodong. With the abilities of King Ming and Princess Ming, the world will be unified sooner or later. If we go to Liaodong, it will affect the future of Young Master Zheng." , this aspect inherited Jiang Hongjin's talent. And he was enlightened by Jiang Wenrui since he was a child, and his foundation is very solid. When King Ming wins the world, the imperial examination will definitely be held at that time. Participating in the scientific examination with politics, the possibility of passing the examination is very high. As for the first batch of scholars who graduated from the scientific examination, as long as there were no accidents, they would basically be reused.

After hearing Mr. Gao's words, Yurong was taken aback. She really didn't know there were so many details in it.

Mr. Gao paused, and then said: "Madam, it may be difficult at first. But as long as I get in touch with the old man, life will be better." No matter what, Jiang Hongfu will not ignore widowhood Sister-in-law and nephew.

Yurong nodded, "I believe in you, sir." After hearing Mr. Gao's analysis, she made up her mind not to go to Liaodong.

On the same day, Yurong sent someone to find Han Jiancheng and asked him to meet at a restaurant. Seeing Han Jiancheng, Yurong explained her decision: "Ah Cheng, the capital city is our root. If we go to Liaodong, we have to start from the beginning, and the environment there is harsh. Ah Cheng, Mr. Gao has a lot of experience. , His words must be correct, you should think about it more!"

Han Jiancheng hesitated: "Let me think about it again!" Han Jiancheng himself didn't really want to go to Liaodong, but Lu Yao kept telling him about the benefits of going to Liaodong. After hearing a lot, he began to waver.

Yurong didn't try to persuade her anymore, but said: "Ah Cheng, sell all the conspicuous properties in your hand!" You can keep the inconspicuous ones, maybe you can keep them in the future.

Han Jiancheng shook his head and said, "If you can't sell it for the price, it's still good for you to sell it in time." Yurong now only has one house left in her hand, and the others have been sold. Although the price is not high, there is no loss. But until now, only land is easy to sell, houses and shops are not easy to sell. Even if someone buys it, the price is kept very low. No one is a fool. In today's world, one doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. Few people will buy a house or shop.

The siblings talked for a long time, and after lunch, Yurong returned home.

The capital is extremely hot, and the city of Pickaxe is not much better. Yuxi was fine, not too afraid of heat, but the triplets and Liu'er had already used ice cubes.

Liu'er finished eating a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and said, "Mother, eldest sister is so afraid of heat, I don't know if she's used to it in Yucheng?" Every summer, she wished she could soak her dates in ice. Liu'er heard that Yucheng is much hotter than Pick City, so she was afraid that Zaozao would suffer there.

Yuxi smiled and said: "I'm sure I'm not used to it, but it's good to let her suffer."

Liu'er smiled and said: "Mother, if outsiders hear your words, they will think you are a stepmother." How could a mother say such a thing!

Yuxi didn't expect Liu'er to joke with her too, but this is a good sign. She didn't like to see Liu'er's careful look in front of her: "If you suffer outside, you will know that you will be fine at home."

Liu'er said without even thinking about it: "Mother, when the eldest sister came back from Guizhou, she said that the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest!"

Yuxi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "Since when did the palace become a kennel?" These words are too vulgar, but they are indeed words that Zao Zao can say.

Liu Er imitated Zao Zao's appearance, holding Yu Xi's arm and said with a smile: "Eldest sister is just making an analogy, she is saying that the outside is not as good as at home!" Although Yu Xi and Yun Qing are more frugal, But I have never treated a few children badly, and the food and clothing are all good.

While the mother and daughter were talking, they heard Meilan say outside: "Princess, the prince's letter has arrived." The princess has not received the prince's personal letter for half a month.

After reading the letter, Yuxi said: "Sure enough..." Sure enough, as she expected, Yunqing was injured.

Seeing that Yu Xi's expression was not quite right, Liu'er asked, "Mother, what's wrong? Is the battle ahead going wrong?"

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "Your father was injured, his arm was injured." Because of the crooked handwriting, Yu Xi believed Yun Qing's words.

Liu'er turned pale all of a sudden: "Mother, isn't dad the Generalissimo? How could he still be injured? Could it be that he encountered an assassin?" Liu'er was always worried about Zaozao but never worried about Yunqing and Qihao. Marshals don't have to go to war.

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "Your father fought against A Gu before, and that's when he was injured."

Thinking of what he said just now, Liu'er asked: "Mother, Dad intends to hide it from you, how did you know?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "I have been husband and wife with your father for more than ten years, and he can't hide anything from me."

Liu Er was very envious, and said: "Mother, you and Daddy have such a good relationship." If she can do the same with her future husband, that would be great.

How could Yuxi fail to see Liu'er's careful thinking, and said: "Don't be envious, you can do it in the future."

On that day, Yuxi rewarded Mr. Meng generously. Liu'er has changed a lot in the past two years. Not only is her temperament more cheerful, but she also acts more generously. She is no longer as cautious as before, and this is all due to Mr. Meng. So, a good teacher is very important.

"Pa..." Looking at the blood on his hand, Zao Zao said depressingly, "Why do I attract mosquitoes like this?" Since the weather became hot and the mosquitoes appeared, Zao Zao's life began to be difficult.

Zao Zao is afraid of the heat and is reluctant to use mosquito nets, but Qiu He fumigates the house with wormwood three times a day. But because it was too stuffy, Zao Zao insisted on opening the doors and windows, and the mosquitoes came out endlessly. And Zao Zao's physique seems to be particularly attractive to mosquitoes. If he doesn't bite Qiu He, Hong Dou and others, he likes to bite her.

Qiu He said: "Princess, why don't I close the window!" With the window open, how can mosquitoes not come in!

Zao Zao waved his hand and said: "I don't want it anymore, I will sweat profusely when I close the window." Zao Zao is a body of fire, and I can't stand it when it's hot. I used to be able to take a cold shower when I was too hot, but now I can only use warm water to wipe my body when I am injured.

Qiu He said: "Princess, let's go buy some ice cubes! Put ice in the house, it won't be so hot."

"No, the ice here is too expensive, I can't afford it." The ice in Yucheng is more than five times more expensive than that in Pickaxe City. Jujube is used to frugality, so I don't want to.

Qiu He said helplessly; "Princess, no matter how frugal you are, you can't save it like this!" Only she knew that Zao Zao had a rich private house, otherwise she would have thought that the princess had abused her!

Zao Zao made up his mind not to buy ice, so he said, "You get someone to fetch two barrels of well water and put them in the house." The freshly pumped well water is also very cold, so putting it in the house can remove some heat.

As soon as Qiu He lifted the curtain, Yin Zhaofeng brought a bucket of ice into the room. Qiu He was a little surprised, and asked, "Guardian Yin, where did this ice come from?"

Zao Zao looked at Yin Zhaofeng and asked, "Isn't this sent by General Gao?" Zao Zao said Gao Rusong was referring to Gao Rusong, who stayed to guard Yucheng.

Yin Zhaofeng said: "No, I bought it myself. Princess, frugality is a good thing, but you can't lose yourself. If you let the princess know, you will definitely feel distressed."

Zao Zao said: "It was hotter than this in Guizhou last year, and I survived the same."

Yin Zhaofeng put the ice bucket in the corner, then turned his head and said, "Last year was last year, and now you have injuries on your body, so you should take good care of it." Last year, it was a hot day, and I had to take three or four cold showers, but now I can't .

I bought it all, and it's meaningless to talk about it. Zao Zao said: "How much is it?" Although frugal, Zao Zao did not let others spend money on her.

Yin Zhaofeng said: "I made an appointment with someone for a month, three barrels of ice a day, a total of thirty taels of silver." This is still a discounted price, or it would be more.

Zaozao asked Qiuhe to take an ingot of five taels of gold to Yin Zhaofeng: "If you want to buy anything in the future, just deduct it from it." Zaozao either has no money, or is too frugal.

Yin Zhaofeng was not pretentious, he took the gold and put it in his sleeve: "The good news just came from the front, and the prince won another big victory." Unfortunately, he failed to follow the prince. Otherwise, you can see with your own eyes that the prince wiped out the northern captives.

Yunqing won the battle, Zaozao is certainly happy. But thinking about his current situation, Zao Zao was a little sleepy: "If I didn't follow Uncle Feng, but followed Dad, that would be fine." Follow Dad, maybe I won't get hurt. In this way, she can also make meritorious deeds.

Yin Zhaofeng said: "Princess, this is the order of the prince." The military order is like a mountain, even if the princess is the daughter of the prince, he can only obey and cannot object.

Zao Zao just said it casually, but didn't blame Yunqing. After all, his father didn't know that he would be hurt. Zao Zao whispered, "Did the doctor tell me when I can go home?"

Yin Zhaofeng said: "The doctor said that it needs to be taken care of for a while." Zaozao suffered an internal injury and must be taken care of. Although it has been raised for two months, it is not suitable for long-distance travel.

Zao Zao muttered: "I don't know how long it will take?" She really wants to go home now. (to be continued)
