Xie Luan remembered that yes, Liuying is also a native of Jiangnan. A few years ago, she fled due to floods and almost all her family members died on the way. In order to survive, she had to sell herself as a slave. By chance, she was bought by Tu and became her own personal maid.

However, she has always been happy and knows her fate. Xie Luan forgot this layer for a while, and she doesn't know that she has such a moment of melancholy.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "When the Shantang affairs have a constitution, your sister Lianlong will be very busy, let alone if there are indeed refugees, our house will be even more complicated. If you have free time, go and help more!"

When Liuying heard this, she was happy and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, girl."

This girl is very similar to Lianlong. When she was happy and excited, she forgot about her wife, but only remembered that she was their girl.

Later, the rain finally fell, and for a moment, lightning and thunder were roaring, and heavy rain was pouring.

And Qi Shen finally returned home.

When Xie Luan was in the house, he heard the steps he was stepping, and he knew everything.

When he came in, his clothes were half wet. She quickly arranged to let him go into the clean room to wash and put on dry clothes.

When he came out, he saw the plate of salty food she had placed on the kang table. He pinched a piece of it and put it in his mouth to eat it. After chewing it for a few seconds, he praised, "A Luan's skills are getting better and better. It seems that I will have a good taste in the future."

Xie Luan sighed and pressed him on the couch, took a dry cloth towel, walked around him, and gently twisted his hair for him, "You told me at that time that this hair will not be tangled, but it is easy to have headaches. Don't rely on your youth now and you will be ignorant. If you get old, you will suffer."

Qi Shen didn't say anything, silently letting her gently tuck his hair, neither of them spoke.

Xie Luan looked up and saw that he said it was delicious, but the salty food was pinched between his fingers. He never gave it to his lips except for the first two bites.

Her eyes couldn't help but darken, and she naturally knew that it was not because the salty food was too unpalatable to the point where it could not be eaten. Last time, the moist cake she made might not be as delicious as it was. Didn't he still eat it so sweetly? Today, it was just because he had something to do in his heart.

"If you don't want to eat, don't force yourself. It's you who said that we are husband and wife. What do you have in your heart? Do you still need to hide it in front of me?"

Xie Luan's quiet words rang in his ears, but he pulled back Qi Shen's thoughts that were already drifting away. He suddenly came to his senses and looked into her clear almond eyes. He couldn't help but put the salty food he was holding in his hand back on the plate, "I'm sorry, I've wasted your thoughts."

"I have something in my heart. Even if the delicacies fall into my mouth, I'm afraid it will be gone. How could I not know? I only feel distressed, so how could I blame it?" She had already twisted his hair and dried it halfway, so she took the cloth towel over and helped Qi Shen carefully wipe the oil between his fingers.

Qi Shen didn't say anything at once, just watched Xie Luanyin concentrate on helping him wipe his hands.

Until his hands were wiped clean, Xie Luanyin raised his clear almond eyes and looked at Qi Shen and said, "What are you planning to do now?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will rush back to the border to prepare defense. I have handed over all the matters here to Zhengxin, but you have to help me watch more."

Xie Luan nodded and Qi Shen's decision was as expected.

In the chaos in Jiangnan, he was afraid that Heritage would take the opportunity to cause trouble. Moreover, Heritage now hates Qi Shen and the Great Zhou to the core. In addition, last year, Qi Shen was just a detour, so he luckily turned the situation around. However, the main force of the Tatars did not suffer any major damage. This year, the north is in good weather. It is not impossible for the Tatars to take advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback.

"The iron ore..."

"I can only put it aside for the time being." Qi Shen did not hesitate at all. He had ambitions, but that was also under the premise of border defense's health. He would not put the cart before the horse.

"Actually... if it's a business, you haven't thought about sending someone who you trust and is good at dealing with this matter?" Xie Luanyin suggested.

Qi Shen frowned at her. Xie Luan was stunned and knew that he had misunderstood. He hurriedly said, "It's not me, I can't leave now. I'm talking about Master Ye. If you say that you are doing business, he is really a master. In addition, he is now sitting on the same boat as you. Unless he is stupid, he will do his best to help you get a deal with such a good business. What's more, if he and Yan Rui can't reach an agreement, there is a way out, what do you think?"

"Ye Jingxuan?" Qi Shen at first thought she wanted to recommend herself. The iron ore was not a place where she could come and go freely. How could he let her take risks at will? But he didn't expect that he was wrong about her intentions.

However... Ye Jingxuan said that Qi Shen raised his eyebrows, "He and Yan Rui are not far from there now. If he can go there, it would be impossible. I will go to pass on the letter and discuss with them." After that, he couldn't wait to get up and went out to the study room.

Xie Luanyin had already given her advice. As for what decision Qi Shen would make in the end, she didn't want to go to the scene.

Qi Shen was afraid that she would not feel relaxed if she was busy for a long time. She couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply stopped sleeping. She spread paper and pen, put on the candlelight, listened to the sound of rain, and began to copy Buddhist scriptures:... All sentient beings and several kinds of minds in the land of this country. The Tathagata knew. Why? Tathagata said that all minds are not minds. This is called minds. What is the reason? Subhuti. The past mind cannot be obtained. The present mind cannot be obtained. The future mind cannot be obtained...

When Qi Shen returned, it was already midnight. The two of them cleaned up and went to bed, and they said nothing all night long.

Before dawn the next morning, Qi Shen and a team of men galloped out of the Xi'an city gate and headed west.

Because Xie Luan was not idle here, he began to settle the remaining money under his command and tried his best to buy food, medicinal materials and other materials.

During this July when the fire is in full swing, I am also busy.

When Bai Qiluo brought several girls from the Li family to the city gate, he happened to run into a large convoy of vehicles escorting a large amount of grain into the city, and the convoy continued.

Bai Qiluo asked the coachman to drive the carriage aside for the time being and waited for the grain transport trucks to pass first.

However, I couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out.

Seeing that although the city gate was crowded, it was orderly, she couldn't help but nodded secretly.

After a while, Madam Bai, who was sent by her to inquire about the news, came back.

"Girl, I've found out clearly. The grain transport team belongs to the family. It is said that in the past few days, I have already brought a lot of things into the city, including food, medicinal materials and cotton, and I don't know what to do."
