Chapter 359: War Is Coming

Then she chose a pair of white magnolia style for Mrs. Du and a pair of plum blossom style for Mrs. Li.

"Waiter, there are only three pairs. Can you calculate how much they cost?"

"Madam, wait a moment."

The waiter put the two pairs of earrings on the flannel separately and opened the account book, which recorded the grams.

"A pair of small daisies is ten grams, one hundred coins. The white magnolia and plum blossom styles are both fifteen grams a pair, two pairs are three hundred coins, and a total of four hundred coins."

Bai Yunxi listened and sighed in her heart. Sure enough, the silver price in peacetime was acceptable.

She took out a string of money from her purse, counted it and handed it over, took the two small cloth bags of earrings handed over by the waiter, and took her daughter out.

It was not until they walked a long way that Bai Anjing came back to her senses. She raised her hand and touched the earrings on her ears, her face flushed,

"Mom, I..." I let you down.

The mother in my memory was also serious, just like now.

In the past, her mother always thought that she was too timid and petty, so she didn't like her. After the divorce, she found that her mother had changed, but just now her mother returned to the past.

"Forget it, take your time, no rush."

Bai Yunxi patted her hand to comfort her. Her temper had been formed, and it might not be changed in a short time.

After walking a few steps, Bai Yunxi looked up at the sun above her head. It was already noon.

"You are tired after walking so much suddenly? There is a noodle stall in front. Let's go and have a bowl of noodles to fill our stomachs and rest our feet."

Bai Anjing subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then she thought that her mother had been walking with her for most of the day and should have been tired a long time ago.

"Okay."

The two sat down at the small square table next to the noodle stall. Bai Yunxi waved to the noodle stall owner,

"Give us two bowls of chopped green onion noodles, and add an egg to each bowl."

"Hey, I'll be there right away." The noodle stall owner was an elderly couple who were not very flexible. They should be residents of the town.

At this moment, Bai Yunxi heard a few men at the next table talking in low voices.

Judging from their attire, they looked like people who walked around the streets to help people transport goods. For a living like this, their general range of activities is basically within a hundred miles. They are out every day, so they are indeed more informed.

"I'll tell you a secret. I went to Jun County to deliver goods yesterday and heard about a big thing."

"Ha~, what big thing could Jun County have? Tell me about it?"

"It's not about Jun County, I heard it in Jun County... Our Song State is going to go to war."

Bai Yunxi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"War? Did you hear it wrong? It's not a festival, and there's no famine, so how could there be a war all of a sudden?"

"You don't know this, do you? There's going to be a war in the northwest. The Tartars on the border have been harassing the local people and stealing their food. Although large-scale wars have not yet started, there have been several small-scale frictions."

"You also know that the Tartars don't know how to grow food. Seeing our Song people harvesting food, they must be jealous. There are still a few months before the autumn harvest. The weather in the northwest gets cold early. The Tartars have no food and will definitely harass the people. If that happens, it will be the beginning of a war."

"Really? War is no small matter. How did you hear it? Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"

"I can swear to this, it must be true. This time I delivered the goods to the residence of the county magistrate of Jun County. I heard the servants in their house whispering."

Bai Yunxi was silent. County magistrate of Jun County?
