Chapter 99: The Eve of the Great War (3)

When I woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

After breakfast, Mother Qu came in and said, "Ma'am, Mr. Lu has been waiting for a long time to see his wife." Of course, Lu Lin was not waiting outside the door, but was waiting to see Yuxi in the front yard.

Yu Xi smiled and said, "Please come in, Mr. Lu!"

Of the members of the Lu family, Yuxi has met several female family members, but she has never seen any of the men of the Lu family. Now I met Mr. Lu, and felt that he and his second sister-in-law, Lu Xiu, looked very much like brothers and sisters: "Hi, Brother Lu." They are all in the southwest. I don't understand why Lu Lin came to the northwest.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "I was bothering you last night."

Yu Xi laughed, and said: "Third brother is willing to come, but I'm too happy to do so. It's too polite to bother me." In fact, Yu Xi is a little strange, why San Ye came to see her on purpose.

This question will be answered soon. Lu Sanye took out a roll of things from his sleeve and said, "The Duke asked me to hand it over to Madam. Because it is very expensive, I must hand it over to Madam." Don't worry about handing it over to him. If something goes wrong, there is no way to explain it.

Zijin walked over, took it, opened it for a look, was stunned for a moment, and handed it to Yuxi.

Yu Xi looked at the large-denomination bank notes and asked, "Did my elder brother say what the money is for?" Sixty thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money. Why did the eldest brother give her such a large sum of money? The most important thing is that the letter did not say anything.

Mr. Lu smiled and said: "This is Mrs. Han's private house. Mrs. Han hopes that you can use this money to help more children." In fact, Mr. Lu also admired Mrs. Han's family. With so much money, you can take it out as soon as you say it, without blinking your brows, and it's a good deed, it's hard not to admire it.

In fact, Yuxi was not surprised that the Qiu family would send money to do good deeds. The Qiu family gave out porridge to help those poor families in the capital. Hearing that the children here are living so hard, they will definitely feel compassion. But Yuxi didn't expect that the Qiu family would send so much money, and she might have emptied her private house: "Thank you, third brother." It's not safe to carry so much money with you.

Lu Sanye handed over the money, and he felt relieved. It is not safe to hold such a large amount of money in his hands: "They are all relatives, so thank you for helping me!"

Yuxi smiled and asked, "I don't know where the third brother is serving in the military camp now?" Yuxi would ask this because the 100,000 army in the northwest is divided into five military camps, Qin Zhao is in charge of three, and General Zhao One is in charge, and Yunqing is in charge of the other.

Lu Sanye said: "I served as a vacancy for a hundred households in the Qin family army." In fact, he wanted to go to Yunqing's Dingbei army, but Shangman arranged for him to go to the Qin family army, and he couldn't help it. Soldiers must obey orders. No one will want disobedient soldiers.

Yu Xi didn't continue to ask any more questions, and she didn't ask about this matter, she just said: "If there is anything, third brother can come and find me."

Lu Lin was not hypocritical, and said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Mrs. Yun." This attitude is not close, but not alienated.

After the people left, Yu Xi looked at the 60,000 taels of silver note in her hand, and said, "Mother is really willing to do so." Even if she took out so much money, she might not have the courage.

Mother Qu said: "The old lady is kind-hearted." Others said that the lady is a cold-hearted person, but with such a kind-hearted adoptive mother, how could the lady be a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Many things are just forced by the environment.

Yu Xi nodded her head: "Use this money to buy some property, and the property can continue to supply the school when the property generates interest." It's just that the battle is about to start, and the matter of property purchase has to be postponed.

On the second day, Yuxi knew that Zhao Ernǎinǎi was going to the provincial government,

Immediately someone sent some gifts over. She has a big belly herself, and she wouldn't pick this reason without going to Zhao's house in person.

Yu Xi was cutting the material when she heard the maid say that Han Ji had come in.

Han Ji came here this time because he had something to say: "Ma'am, didn't you say last time that you would send someone to go to the West Sea after the beginning of spring?"

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Yes! It's just that there are too many things in the mansion now, and you can't leave, and there is no other suitable candidate." Han Ji became the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and Yu Xi was relieved.

Han Ji said: "Ma'am, Tian Yang is a smart kid, and he has learned well after being with me in the past few years. Let him go and have a look first, so as to increase his knowledge!"

Yu Xi looked at Han Ji and asked, "You mean to let Tian Yang go to the front station first to find out?" It's fine to let Tian Yang go to find out, but if Tian Yang is given this job, Yu Xi won't be at ease.

Han Ji nodded and said: "Yes, let Tian Yang go to the West Sea to find out first. After two months, I will take someone there when the war ceases. Ma'am, Tian Yang is a business material, as long as he works harder Practice, and you will be able to stand on your own in the future.”

After hearing this, Yu Xi said: "Then let Hao Dazhuang take a few people to go with him." If Tian Yang can be alone, she also has one more person available. After all, the people who use the Duke's Mansion are not as good as the people they cultivated by themselves.

Han Ji also thought the same way: "I'll ask Tian Yang to come over to see Madam later."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No, it won't be too late when he makes some achievements." This can be regarded as a different kind of incentive!

After Han Ji went out, Yuxi asked Mother Qu: "How about Tian Ju? If you need it, transfer it to my side!"

Mother Qu shook her head and said, "That child is not very smart, it's safer to let her serve outside!" Mother Qu felt that loyalty is important, but it's not safe to be too honest. It's better to use it smartly.

After hearing this, Yuxi shook her head with a smile and said: "The manager Han said that Tian Yang learns things very quickly, his brain is also flexible, and he can draw inferences from one instance to another. Why is this Tian Ju not very smart?"

Mother Qu smiled and said: "There is an old saying that a dragon has nine sons, and the nine sons are different!" Among brothers and sisters, there are some smart and some not.

Yuxi smiled, and then thought about Yunqing's upcoming expedition. If you think too much, you will inevitably mutter a few words: "Zijin, you said that the northern captives are coming to grab food, so it's good to stick to the city, why must they take the initiative to attack?" If the information is not prepared, wouldn't it be blind at that time.

Zijin stared: "Ma'am, I don't know anything about wars. If you ask me, I don't know either!"

Yu Xi sighed, actually she didn't know, but she always felt that Yun Qing's idea was more secure. It's just that most of the generals agreed to take the initiative to attack and were unwilling to be beaten passively. Yun Qing was not a marshal, so he couldn't veto everyone's opinions. And the only thing she can do now is to prepare some emergency medicinal materials.

Zijin thought for a while and said, "Madam, do you think Qin Zhao is surrounded by the secret operations of the North Captives? If their battle plan is leaked, the general will be in danger then." The Tongcheng Incident that year was too tragic.

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "That's not true. Only a few high-ranking generals know about the battle plan. These generals are all great generals with great military achievements. How could they do things that betray the enemy and the country."

Zijin thought about it, and felt that this was quite right.

Yuxi said: "How much medicine is there for Master Yang? Can you get two more bottles?" That thing is very effective in stopping bleeding. On the battlefield, it is a life-saving thing.

Zijin shook her head and said, "I asked Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi said that Master only had three bottles in his hand. It is not so easy to ask him to take them out." Save some good stuff.

Speaking of this, Zijin said: "Ma'am, don't you already have three bottles in your hand? It should be enough." Yuxi also took a lot of effort to get these three small bottles of medicine.

Yuxi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough!"

In the evening, Huo Changqing came back. Huo Changqing went directly into the backyard, and said to Yuxi: "Tomorrow we will go to war, and Yunqing will not be able to come back today."

Yuxi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she soon calmed down.

Huo Changqing nodded his head, seeing that Viola was the only one in the room, he took out a black-painted sign from his sleeve and gave it to Yuxi, saying: "This is Anbu's token, with this token, everyone in Anbu will know At your command."

Yuxi knows that the so-called Anbu refers to the person who collects intelligence, but she feels that this thing is a bit hot: "Uncle Huo, what do you give me this thing for?"

Huo Changqing said: "I wanted to give it to you a long time ago, just because you are pregnant and I am afraid that you will be tired. This time, you are going to go to war. You have this token in your hand. You can use these people for something." After finishing speaking, give Yuxi reported two names and the details of these two people.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "These people are carefully cultivated, and they cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary." These are all people who need to be used, and if one dies, one will be lost. She definitely wouldn't activate these people if it wasn't when her life was in danger.

Huo Changqing nodded and said, "You just need to be careful about this matter."

Yu Xi nodded her head, then asked Zi Jin to take out the things she had prepared and hand them to Huo Changqing. In fact, there are not many things, just two fist-sized small bags. In addition to a bottle of medicine that was ground from Master Yang, there are also chopped ginseng slices and other more expensive medicinal materials. The amount is very small, and Yuxi is also afraid that too much is not good. : "Uncle Huo, you have to keep this thing well, don't give it to Yunqing. Take it out when you need it!"

Seeing this, Zijin said: "Uncle Huo, the ginseng slices here are cut by my wife from the nearly four hundred ginseng slices. They are good things. You should use them carefully, and don't spoil the good things." Things, that were also ruined by Yuxi. When she saw Yuxi cutting ginseng, her heart ached to death. Such things can be used as family heirlooms.

After hearing Zijin's words, Yu Xi hurriedly added: "This ginseng is only enough for three or four people, so it can't be handed over to He Rui for safekeeping." He was worried that He Rui would take out the ginseng and give it to others used. Such top-quality ginseng is a life-saving thing in difficult times. People are selfish, she prepared this for Yun Qing and Huo Changqing, not for others.

Huo Changqing understood the meaning of Yuxi's words, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of it." It was because Mrs. Han was willing to take out the treasures at the bottom of the box. How could he waste Mrs. Han's time? Mind. Speaking of which, Yun Qing married this daughter-in-law, it was really right.
