Chapter 247 Raising an Army Is Not Easy

"Master, do you store so much food to help the prince support the soldiers at the border?"

That night, in the Su family's courtyard, after the little prince fell asleep, the little kingfisher also asked the doubts in his heart.

"yes."

Su Qingluo nodded simply.

"How can so much food be transported to the border?"

The little kingfisher was a little worried.

"Don't rush to transport it over there, and store it in the mysterious canyon first, in case of emergency."

Su Qingluo had planned for a long time: "Raising an army is not easy. The empress is jealous of the Lin family's army, and the situation of the soldiers at the border will become more and more difficult. At present, father is still capable of solving the problem of food and grass, so we don't need to show up."

The little kingfisher understood: "The master means to save it first, and I don't know when it will be used."

"Um."

Su Qingluo's eyes flashed, and he sighed faintly: "Actually, in my heart, I sincerely look forward to the day when it won't be useful."

"Oh, it's hard to be the master."

The little kingfisher looked at her distressedly: "I didn't get to enjoy a day in Zhen Guogong's mansion, and I still have to worry about them."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Su Qingluo looked back and smiled lightly: "I grew up in the countryside and spent nine years of carefree and happy time. Compared to the intrigues and deceptions under the imperial power, I prefer this place."

"That's true."

Little Kingfisher strongly agrees: "People in the countryside are simple and simple, and playing freely in the mountains and forests is much more interesting than playing house fights in rich people's homes."

"Hehe, it's amazing, Yin'er."

Su Qingluo smiled and frowned: "You know how to play house fights."

"That's right, I know a lot."

The little kingfisher proudly held its head high, and said boldly: "I know all about the dirty things in the gates of the mansion. In the future, the master will really return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. With me helping your mother, I will be sure to piss off those aunts. Look!" How arrogant are they?"

"Giggle."

Su Qingluo was amused: "According to what you said, I am looking forward to the days when I return to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. It must be very exciting."

*******************

Royal Academy only has seven days off for Chinese New Year, from New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and school will start on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

The journey to the capital city was far away, and it took nearly seven days to go back and forth. Su Ziqin couldn't make it back in time, so he had to spend the New Year in the capital city.

If she didn't come back, Li Meng was worried about coming back alone, so she asked someone to send a message, and the two sisters stayed together.

The uncle and aunt of the Li family can't think of their daughter. There are old and young in the family, and they can't leave the two old people behind. They can only worry secretly at home when they go to the capital to see their daughter.

Su Hu and his wife were equally anxious. Li Meng was the only daughter of the uncle of the Li family and had never traveled far.

It took half a year to go there, and the one who celebrated the Chinese New Year still couldn't come back. The couple compared their hearts and worried about their uncle.

The couple made up their minds and decided to bring the two elders of the Li family home to celebrate the New Year, so that the uncle and his wife could go to the capital to see their daughter.

Old man Li and Mrs. Li are not pedantic people, they don't know how to admit death, and they insist on living with their son.

Su Hu and his wife prepared the new year's goods, took the children to visit the grandfather's house, and explained their intentions.

The old couple agreed that they also wanted to go to the daughter's house to enjoy a few days of happiness, so they nodded and agreed.

Su Hu immediately got into the car and took the old man back to Woniu Village.

Leave twenty taels of silver for the Li family's uncle and his wife as money, send them to Furong Town, and then take a boat from the town to the capital city.

The uncle of the Li family took his youngest son and left happily.

The two elders of the Li family followed their daughter to Woniu Village, where they lived in a big tiled house, slept on a heated kang, served delicious food and drink carefully, and were so happy that they could not close their mouths from ear to ear.
