When she woke up early the next morning, Qiu Zi looked at the kettle in the inner room in surprise, and sighed with some self-reproach: "Why did I fall asleep so deeply yesterday!"

Lin Wan yawned and half-opened her eyes. After sleeping all night, her head felt lighter and her throat was much better. Seeing Qiu Zi holding a kettle in her hand, she hurriedly asked: "Is there any more water? Pour me a glass."

.”

Qiu Zi weighed the kettle and tested the water temperature, then poured the water and handed it to Lin Wan. "The girl got up by herself yesterday?"

"Yes." Lin Wan responded vaguely. After drinking a glass of water, she suddenly felt comfortable all over. She stretched herself and smiled at Qiu Zi, "I feel much better today. Let's go to mother's place for dinner."

.”

After washing up for a while, Lin Wan wore a thick jacket and went to Liu's house.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" Mrs. Liu caught a glimpse of Lin Wan, and hurriedly ordered the girls to open the curtains and said angrily, "Come in quickly! You don't even have a hand stove."

"Don't worry, mother, I'm much better. It's only a few steps away, but I'm already so cold?" Lin Wan smiled and leaned into Mrs. Liu's arms, hugging Mrs. Liu's arm and smiled.

Mrs. Liu heard that although Lin Wan's voice was not as good as usual, it was still much better than yesterday. Then she sighed and ordered the girls to serve food.

At the dinner table, Lin Wan held a spoon in one hand and tilted her head as if she asked casually: "I heard someone came from the Lu family yesterday?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at Lin Wan, how could she not know that her daughter was here to ask a special question? She sighed secretly, suppressed the worries in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's Erlang of the Lu family who came here, saying that he sent some dry goods from the north.

Come here, Princess Wei sent people to each family to send some, and we also had a share. I was still wondering why he came in person. He didn't say anything, and I didn't have much time to ask. The child didn't talk much, but he was quite polite.

This is the first time you meet someone, so don’t show off to them."

Lin Wan paused for a moment, then snorted, and nodded sadly. Does he still know how to be polite? He is just a gangster!

After mother and daughter had finished breakfast, Lin Wan had a sudden idea and asked Zhu Jin to bring her sewing purse. She re-embroidered the half-embroidered purse at the end of last year. Before she had even embroidered a few stitches, Yuzhu came back to talk outside.

, said that shopkeeper Liao was here and was waiting at the back corner door.

"Invite him in." Lin Wan hurriedly threw away the things on hand, put on her shoes at random, picked up her skirt and ran out.

Mrs. Liu sighed slightly when she saw this, grabbed her daughter, put a hand stove into Lin Wan's hand, straightened Lin Wan's clothes, and told her: "Come back early when you see someone, it's cold outside."

Lin Wan smiled and nodded. She asked Yuzhu and Forsythia to go to the small study room in Yimei Courtyard.

After entering the house, Liao Zhongwen looked serious and saluted Lin Wan, bowing his head. Since it was still the first month of the year, he said two more auspicious words, and then he got down to business.

"Today, I have two important things to say to the girl. The first one was told by shopkeeper Hu. The situation in the north is tense, and the grassland is not peaceful either. Shopkeeper Hu set off a while ago, and now he has arrived at Yanmen Pass. The companions

There are also people from the Lu family. Shopkeeper Hu said, please don’t worry, girl. Everything is fine. But I’m afraid there won’t be any news in a few days. If the girl has any instructions, she might as well ask someone close to General Lu to bring a message." Liao Zhongwen said.

He paused for a moment and watched Lin Wan's reaction carefully.

"Well, I understand. I'll ask Yue Liu to send a message to the north later. If there is anything urgent, I can take care of it over there." Lin Wan pondered for a moment and said to Liao Zhongwen, "How many people have the Lu family followed?

People go there? What are their identities?"

"There are two people in the open, both of whom are acting as shopkeepers of the caravan. We don't know who is in the dark. We only know that the person in charge of liaison is named Zhou, and he seems to be a hidden guard of the Lu family." Liao Zhongwen frowned slightly and thought about it.

He answered after a moment. "Even the two people in the open room, only Shopkeeper Hu knows their identities."

Lin Wan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and sighed: "That's okay. Continue, there is one more thing?"

Liao Zhongwen nodded, his face darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he said thoughtfully: "It's a matter with the grain store. Didn't the girl ask you to collect grain as in previous years last time? But this year, those farms in the north,

Most of them have been taken over by the Feng family. Now we have less than 500 shi of food in hand. In the north...if war breaks out, we are afraid that we will not be able to supply it. What Shopkeeper Hu means is that we have already established relations with the Lu family.

Well, it’s best to save some food so that if something goes wrong in the north, it will be easy to deal with. But this year here..."

Lin Wan held the teacup in her hand and turned it gently, frowning slightly, and looked at Liao Zhongwen with sharp eyes: "Where is Zhao Youqian?"

Liao Zhongwen's voice suddenly stopped, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao is busy making peace with the people in charge of the farms in the north these days." As he said this, Liao Zhongwen was shocked in his heart, and he respected and feared Lin Wan. This

This girl has an unusual mind and a calmness that belies her age. No wonder her adoptive father can follow her without hesitation. Now there is the Lu family... Thinking of Hu Wanda's instructions, Liao Zhongwen straightened his chest, put on a smile again, and looked at

Lin Wandao: "What Shopkeeper Zhao means is that since the Feng family has squeezed in and the court is keeping an eye on this area, we don't have to squeeze in and grab it with others. It will be the same again next year. I have calculated that the suburbs of Beijing will not be able to catch up."

Yes, but we can try it if we go further away, Miss?"

"You don't have to worry about harvesting grain. Let Shopkeeper Zhao work harder. Go to places near the capital and collect whatever you can. After all, we are a big grain merchant in the north. How can we run out of grain?" Lin Wan rubbed the food in her hand.

Teacup sneered, with a sharp look in his eyes, and ordered Liao Zhongwen, "Just pick some useful people, take care of the business road to the north, and wait to take over the food."

Liao Zhongwen was startled when he heard this, and then his heart beat wildly, but he just smiled on his face, bowed his hands and bowed, and responded very respectfully.

Coming out of the small study room, Lin Wan stood in the corridor, breathing a long sigh of relief in the cold wind. She turned around and told Yuzhu: "Ask the concierge to prepare the car, and let's go to Lanyue Tower."

Yuzhu opened her mouth, wanting to say something to persuade her, but she swallowed her words under Lin Wan's increasingly cold eyes, picked up her skirt and went to the second gate to look for the woman who was driving the car.

The Lin family's carriage stopped at the back door of Lanyue Building. Shopkeeper Zhong hurriedly explained to everyone and came out with a smile on his face. "Why are you here free, girl?"

"I have something to trouble Uncle Zhong." Lin Wan smiled slightly and walked upstairs naturally. "Is Ding Chang'an nearby? Please ask Uncle Zhong to send someone to look for him."

Shopkeeper Zhong was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly led a few people to the private room upstairs. After entering the room, Lin Wan asked Yuzhu to guard the door. Then she smiled and said to Shopkeeper Zhong: "Does Shopkeeper Min have any news?

come over?"

"It just arrived today and is about to deliver it to the girl!" Shopkeeper Zhong's eyes lit up and he sighed. "The south end is ready and ready to go to sea at any time. The food that the girl asked to be collected was also harvested.

Eight, it’s all installed.”

Lin Wan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed to the stool beside the table for shopkeeper Zhong to sit down and ordered Forsythia to serve tea. She tapped her fingers on the table and was silent for a moment. She sipped the tea and said with a smile: "Spring has begun in the south at this time, so let's take a seat."

They find the fastest shortcut to transport the grain to the north, and Shopkeeper Liao is responsible for taking over here."

Shopkeeper Zhong's eyes shrank slightly and his heart skipped a beat. He thought the food was prepared for going to sea. Now it seems that it was prepared for the war in the north? But this is undoubtedly asking the imperial court to cut the flesh. This matter

…

Lin Wan looked at Shopkeeper Zhong's tense face, laughed softly, and explained with a sigh: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I just want to be prepared. We don't compete with the court for money. Is it possible that the court can still take advantage of it for no reason?"

Take away our food?" Besides, there is also the Lu family! If we really want the court to directly collect the food, then the Lu family will just hand over the military power!

Shopkeeper Zhong then stroked his chest and sighed, looking at Lin Wan with relief, his eyes a little wet, and sighing in an almost inaudible voice: "The girl looks more and more like the master..."

Coming out of the back door of Lanyue Building, Ding Changan was already waiting in front of the carriage. "Girl, do you have any instructions for me?"

Lin Wan stood on the carriage and smiled so brightly that Ding Changan's heart skipped a beat. "Girl, I have an errand for you. Do you know Zhao Youqian, the big grain merchant in the north?"

"We know each other!" Ding Changan came back to his senses. He squinted his eyes and smiled like a fool, and nodded hurriedly.

"That's good. He will leave the capital recently. Please go and keep an eye on him in person. Well, it's best to cause him some trouble so that he can't return to the capital for the time being. I think about it and let him stay outside for a while.

Ten days. Can you accept this?" Lin Wan's eyes were full of energy, the smile on her face was unrestrained, and she was obviously in a good mood.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ding Changan raised his hands in a casual salute, "Don't worry, girl, this matter will be taken care of by me!"

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief. She patted Ding Changan on the shoulder and said, "This matter is extremely important. I'm counting on you, girl!"

Ding Changan smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. He agreed with some flatterment, and made a promise as if he was swearing. Watching the carriage that was seeing Lin Wan go further and further away, he shivered in the cold wind for a long time, shaking his head and humming a song.

walked away.

In the palace of Prince Xining, Prince Xining wandered around the study room several times. Lu Junzhao stood at the table with a sullen face, glanced at Prince Xining, and said in a deep voice: "Don't wander around anymore. Things in the north have been prepared. This battle

It’s essential, and it’s also good for the Lu family!”

"You know nothing!" King Xining shouted angrily, "How long can the grain and grass in the north last?"

"More than half a year."

King Xining glanced at Lu Junzhao with complicated eyes, and said with a serious expression: "What if we can't win in half a year?"

Lu Junzhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, with disdain in his eyes.

"Hmph!" King Xining snorted coldly, pointed at Lu Junzhao and cursed, "I taught you this in vain? The war is not only about the battlefield, but also about supplies in the rear! The emperor wants to weaken the Lu family's power in the north. There is such a thing

How can he not use the opportunity? Among those princes, which one is less worried? They all want to reach out to the north! How many times have I told you? You must look at the overall situation and make a decision before taking action!"

Lu Junzhao's face also darkened, and he was silent for a moment before replying: "Hu Wanda has already passed Yanmen Pass. If the eight grassland tribes can get into chaos and Beiyan can't hold on, this battle won't last long."

"Idiot!" King Xining was so angry that he jumped to his feet and yelled, "Can the eight grassland tribes cause chaos? When will it happen? Who can say for sure?"

The King of Xining was scolding him vigorously, but Lu An, the housekeeper outside, knocked on the door and replied: "Sir, someone from the Lin family has come and said there is something urgent!"

"Go away -" King Xining kicked towards the door. As soon as he raised his leg in the air, he suddenly pulled it back. He opened the door and asked, "Who is here?"

"They are said to be from the Lin family, and they look like people from the world of martial arts." Lu An lowered his head and described it very calmly.

"Invite him in." Lu Junzhao's voice came from the room. Lu An glanced at King Xining and hurriedly backed away.

Yue Liu followed Lu An with a dull face all the way to the small courtyard of the study, met Lu Junzhao and the King of Xining, slightly arched his hands as a salute, and stated the purpose of his visit very simply: "My girl said that some food has been shipped from the south recently.

I wonder if the general can borrow a place."

King Xining's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he winked and smiled at Lu Junzhao. He didn't care about Yue Liu's rudeness, and nodded in response: "Yes, yes! Of course! You can let go of as many as you want!"

Yue Liu nodded when he heard this, raised his hand and said goodbye, turned around and walked out. Lu An was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after him.

In the yard, King Xining shook his head and laughed, dragging Lu Junzhao and laughing: "That bastard is really discerning this time! That little girl from the Lin family is indeed capable! She should be the daughter-in-law of my Lu family!"

Lu Junzhao had a gloomy face and said nothing, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. Thinking of Lin Wan's reddish cheeks, his heart softened. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
