Chapter 64 Secret Communication (1)

Zijin said with a smile: "Madam, let someone carry the things in now!" Now she really wants to know what is in the box.

Yuxi smiled and said: "It must be some nourishing medicinal materials, as well as the child's clothes, shoes, hats, silk and satin."

Twenty-six large boxes were brought in and the room was filled to the brim. Zijin called the guard who carried the box and said, "Open it and have a look." The Northwest is really poor, and many things cannot be bought with money.

Of these twenty-six large boxes, six boxes are children's clothes, shoes, hats, rattles and other things for children to play with, four boxes of silk and satin, two boxes of leather, and two big boxes of various nourishing supplements. There are miscellaneous things in the capital, and the rest are all medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are relatively expensive in the Northwest, and they are not easy to buy.

Looking at so many things, Yu Xi said with red eye circles: "How much does it cost?" No matter what, it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Zi Jin looked at Yu Xi's appearance, and wondered in her heart why Madam loves to cry so much after pregnancy! In the past, I couldn't see her cry once throughout the year, but now it's good, she shed tears every now and then, which made her a little unaccustomed: "Madam, register your things in the warehouse!"

Yuxi nodded and said: "I just want to make two cloaks, and this leather is really useful." This means that the leather only needs to be registered and not put into storage.

Violet nodded.

Yuxi didn't realize until after Zijin left, and hurriedly called Zisu, and said, "I almost forgot. Those boxes of medicinal materials were all marked, the first three boxes belonged to me, and the other boxes were for me. Sent to the barracks."

Zisu said: "Last time, all the medicinal materials were donated to the military camp, so this time they will all be sent to the military camp?" Several large boxes of processed medicinal materials are also worth a lot of money. The most important thing is that several large boxes of medicinal materials are of no use to the barracks.

Yu Xi explained with a smile: "Second brother bought these medicinal materials specially and sent them to the military camp, not for me." She can't send all the medicinal materials out this time, because the incident with Yunqing last time left her with lingering fears . Yuxi felt that it would be better to prepare more medicinal materials at home.

Half an hour later, Han Gao entered the inner courtyard again, and said, "It's also lucky this time, there happened to be a caravan selling goods in the West Sea, and we followed the caravan." Tired, but also on tenterhooks. There were more than 20 people who went out last time, and only a few people came back in the end. Everyone in the mansion was terrified, and everyone who could hide escaped. Those who came now couldn't hide. Fortunately, just when they were about to set off, they happened to meet a caravan going to the West Sea. Han Jianye found the leaders of the caravan, gave them some rewards, and asked the group to follow. These caravans all had their own paths, and nothing happened along the way. The group of people who delivered the things were all safe and sound except for three who fell ill. But because of the detour, it takes more time.

Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's okay." In fact, seeing that they delivered the things safely, Han Gao didn't show any sadness on his face, so he knew it was a safe journey. It's just that Yu Xi herself was frightened by what happened last time.

Han Gao looked at Yuxi, just about to speak, but swallowed the words back.

Yuxi understood and said, "Follow me to the study." Then, with a big belly, she entered the study. After Zijin waited for Han Gao to enter, she thoughtfully closed the door, and she stood guard at the door and waited.

Han Gao took out a roll from his sleeve, which was still wrapped in oilcloth. Han Gao handed the things to Yuxi with both hands, and said, "Madam, this is what the old lady asked me to give to you."

Yu Xi took it over, unwrapped it, and saw that they were all silver notes, two of which were ten thousand taels, and one of which was five thousand taels: "What did Mother give me the money for?"

Han Gao said with a smile: "Madam, this is the income from your shop's land property last year. The old lady folded it into bank notes and asked me to bring it here.

"Yuxi's shops and farms are all in the capital, and such a good property is reluctant to sell. It is the Qiu family who is helping her take care of it."

Looking at the three bank notes in her hand, Yu Xi felt sad. The annual income of her properties is 15,000 taels, which is already scary. Everything else was subsidized by my mother.

Seeing this, Han Gao explained: "The old lady said that things in the Northwest are expensive, so don't be too frugal. Eat what you need, use what you need, and don't worry about money. If it's not enough, she will let people buy it later." Send it here." It's also because the Qiu family has a rich family background, and if they want to replace it with someone else, they will be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

After hearing this, Yu Xi burst into tears. So, a child with a mother is a treasure, and you can think about everything: "Is your mother in good health?"

Han Gao nodded and said: "Miss, don't worry, the old lady is in good health and has not been sick this year." In fact, Qiu Shi caught cold when he was on the mountain, but it was just a small problem, and he was fine after taking two patches of medicine. Han Gao is not a fool either, how could he tell Yuxi about this, it made Yuxi worry for nothing. She is still pregnant, what if she is shocked!

While weeping, Yuxi asked Han Gao: "That's good, that's good. Eldest brother and second elder brother are also okay?" As for Han Jingdong's father, she didn't bother to ask. This is a person who enjoys the most, whoever is not good, he can be good.

Han Gao said repeatedly: "It's all good, the Duke and the Second Master are both very good, and they also miss the girl very much."

Yu Xi wiped her tears and said, "That's good."

After Han Gaodao and Yuxi calmed down, he took out another letter from his bosom, handed it up with both hands, and said, "Ma'am, this letter, the Duke told me, must be handed over to Madam." This is known to be confidential.

Yuxi's heart trembled, and she immediately took the letter and opened it. Han Jianye wrote in the letter what Qin Zhao had done in the capital for a few months, as well as the personnel changes in the capital in the past few months. At the end of the letter, Han Jianye told Yuxi that the Yu family wanted to win over Yunqing and let her be a lobbyist.

After putting down the letter, Yuxi asked Han Gao: "Brother, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Han Gao nodded and said, "My lord said that my uncle is single and weak. If we can form an alliance with the Yu family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Yuxi nodded and said: "I see, you go down and rest first!"

Han Gao said: "Madam, I want to return to Beijing tomorrow and call the Duke as soon as possible." It has been two months since they set off, that is to say, two months of delay.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's freezing cold, how can you hurry? Don't worry about this, go down and have a good rest first." No matter how anxious you are, don't rush this time.

After staying in the study for nearly an hour, Yu Xi came out from inside.

Seeing that Yu Xi was fine, Zijin breathed a sigh of relief: "Ma'am, if you have something to tell the general, let the general take care of it! You look like this, it's not appropriate to work hard."

Yuxi smiled, and said: "I have a sense of proportion, you don't have to worry, go and call Zisu over." The warehouse is located in the second courtyard, and Zisu is also in the second courtyard at this time.

Zisu came over and said to Yuxi: "I have checked everything, and there are quite a few. I also had all the skins taken out, the best of which are two mink skins and one lynx cat skin, and the other four green fox skins. The leather is pretty good too."

Yuxi nodded her head and said, "The lynx fur is for the general to make a cloak, and the blue tiger skin is for Uncle Huo to make a big sweater." As for the mink fur, she left it for herself; A few boxes of woolen clothes made Yuxi very depressed. She likes those clothes, workmanship, and styles.

When Zi Jin entered the room, she looked at Yu Xi's pensive face and asked, "Ma'am, what are you thinking about?"

Yuxi raised her head and said: "Today, Han Gao told me that the caravan went to the West Sea to sell goods. I just read the book, and the book said that the West Sea is rich in products. I was thinking, should I let people go there to see it after the beginning of spring?" Take a look." Xihai, now Qinghai, is next door to Gansu. This is why it is said that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books. What is written in the book is far less profound than what I saw with my own eyes.

Zijin laughed and said: "Madam, it will not be completed until after the spring! It's still early, what do you want to do so far away? You stayed in the study for a long time, just checking things?" She thought Yuxi was in the room Thinking about it!

Yuxi also felt that she was thinking too much, so she put the matter down immediately.

On this day, Yun Qing came back very early, and Huo Changqing came back with him. In the past, Huo Changqing often stayed in the barracks and rarely came out. Because for them the barracks were no different than here, and now it is different,

At the door, when Xu Daniu saw them, he lowered his voice and said, "General, the Duke's Mansion has sent something over. General, you didn't see it, good guy, there are more than twenty big boxes! I don't know how to pack them." How many good things." He had seen many gift givers, but it was the first time he saw so many gifts, so many carts! His eyes were straightened.

Yunqing and Huo Changqing ignored Xu Daniu and entered the room, and they were used to his bluffing temper. However, Xu Daniu is usually not upright, and when something happens, he is very serious, so no one is too demanding on him.

Xu Daniu followed into the second courtyard, looked at Xu Wu inside, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what good things did you give here?"

Xu Wu just ignored him: "No matter what good things are, it has nothing to do with you." Xu Wu was here to help just now, and he knew roughly what there was. Roughly estimate, no less than ten thousand taels. It has to be said that his general married his wife, but it took a big advantage. It's always the son-in-law giving gifts to the father-in-law and mother-in-law, but it's the other way around when it comes to the general.

Xu Daniu laughed and said: "I just want to learn more." The things sent from the capital all the way must be good things!

Xu Wu pointed to the large boxes placed in the corridor, and said, "Madam ordered just now to send the medicinal materials in these large boxes to Doctor Hou. You send the things there now." Doctor Hou, It was the military doctor in the Yunqing barracks.

Hearing this, Xu Daniu put away his smiling face and said: "Madam Gao Yi." The medicinal materials in the carts that Madam sent were all good things, and saved many lives. This will be sent over, Doctor Hou must be very happy. I have to say, this is a beautiful misunderstanding. (to be continued)
