Chapter 238: Scared
Just like when I came to Taiyuan Prefecture, I took the official road all the way to the capital and stayed at the inn; but the mood was different. When I came to Taiyuan Prefecture, I was looking forward to the beauty of the future, but now I am more concerned about the future.
Worry, indeed, sometimes changes in status are not always a good thing.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I checked into the inn in Pingding Prefecture. Chen Xiuyan was deeply impressed by this inn. After all, it was the place where she first met Mrs. He. Thinking of the tit-for-tat confrontation at the beginning and the harmonious nostalgia now, she also missed Mrs. Wu a little.
I don’t know if we can eventually become in-laws.
"It's time for that kid to enter the examination room." Chen Xiuyan sincerely hopes that he will have a smooth career, improve step by step, and be accompanied by a caring and cheerful person.
"Don't worry, Mingchu is expected to pass the provincial examination next year. This college examination will not be a problem." Chu Wenqian said without worry, "Among the children of the Luo family, the smartest one is Mingchu, and the most innocent one is Ming Nian.
It may be good for Ming Nian to study, but his temperament is not suitable for officialdom, maybe because he is still young."
"These brothers have the eldest brother Ming and Qing who will protect them from the wind and rain and provide money. In the future, mutual support will definitely enable the Luo family to change their family status in a few decades. In a hundred years or even more, they may become a wealthy family.
Chu Wenqian smiled and put his arm around Chen Xiuyan's shoulders.
"Madam, if you want your family to prosper, your heirs must prosper. As long as there is one smart person in each generation who can support the family, the family will continue to prosper."
Chen Xiuyan was a little confused, "I haven't thought that far yet. Anyway, that will be a matter for the next generation. By then I will be buried..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Wenqian lowered his head and bit her lips, "You can just say this kind of thing casually."
"I, just, tell the truth." Chen Xiuyan didn't expect Chu Wenqian to be so excited, "Don't worry, I will accompany you through your sixties. It's best to live together in your sixties, and be buried together a hundred years later. We will never be apart.
."
Chu Wenqian's expression softened a little, and he hugged him tighter, "I remember it happened on the way to Taiyuan."
Chen Xiuyan's back instinctively alerted her, "So?"
"So I still want to be on the road..." Chu Wenqian made excuses for his impulsiveness, hugged the person and put him on the bed. The bed gauze shook and the thin quilt was billowing. Chen Xiuyan was too tired to pay attention to anyone.
However, she is willing to give Chu Wenqian a few more children. Firstly, there is someone to help take care of them, and secondly, there is such a high-quality precedent. If she is such a well-behaved baby, it doesn't matter if she has a few more.
It started to rain heavily at midnight on the sixth day of the lunar month, and it didn't stop on the second day. The progress was interrupted, and Chen Xiuyan and her party could only wait in the post station for the rain to subside.
Chu Wenqian looked at the sky and frowned. Chen Xiuyan was also a little worried thinking about the current life. "In a few days, the food harvest will be good. If this rain..."
This is what Chu Wenqian is worried about. He asked someone to check the weather, but he couldn't tell the specific situation, so he could only wait.
There was a drought last year, and if there is another flood this year, how will the people live?
Chen Xiuyan will go into the space to work hard when she is free now. She has already stored a lot of medicinal materials, and she can replenish the western medicine by herself, so she has planted food in all the fields in the space.
It has been raining for a full week. Chu Wenqian looked at the fields flooded by rain and listened to the people crying. His heart sank to the bottom. He didn't know what Taiyuan Mansion was like now, but he had the emperor's orders and could not look back.
.
"Send some food over." Chen Xiuyan wanted to tell Chu Wenqian her biggest secret. She had never trusted and loved a man so much and couldn't bear his troubles. Moreover, she was also worried about her relatives and friends in Taiyuan Mansion.
"Now food prices are bound to rise, and it's a drop in the bucket." Chu Wenqian replied, "Looking at the current situation, it is likely that we need to open warehouses to provide food relief."
"Then we sell the grain to the government." Chen Xiuyan said, "At the original price, I have grain."
Chu Wenqian thought that Chen Xiuyan was talking about the produce from the fields she bought from Zhuangzi, "Although we have a lot of land under our name, to the common people, it means less rice and more monks. Even if it's all..."
"It's not those." Chen Xiuyan interrupted, and then she conjured a bag of grain out of thin air and placed it in the current house.
Chu Wenqian seemed to have been cast a restraining spell and did not react for a long time.
Just when Chen Xiuyan was about to lower her body and take a closer look at him, Chu Wenqian suddenly stood up and hugged her with great strength.
"It hurts." Chen Xiuyan frowned and stretched out her hand to push.
"As long as it hurts, it will help you remember it for a long time." Allen Chu gritted his teeth, "Is this your secret? It's just like the medicines I gave you before, right?"
Chu Wenqian asked softly in Chen Xiuyan's ear.
Chen Xiuyan nodded.
"We have so many eyes and ears around us, how can you just take something out of thin air without any cover-up? What should you do if you are seen?" Chu Wenqian's voice was trembling, and he was frightened.
"Didn't you send all the secret guards out to investigate the situation of this disaster? Your Majesty also wants to know, aren't they all with us? And their ears and eyes are sharper than ordinary people. Although the secret guards are in the dark, I can't tell where exactly they are.
, but I know whether the person is there or not, and the general direction." Chen Xiuyan said frankly that she was not stupid to act like this in front of outsiders.
"It makes sense." Chu Wenqian lowered his head and bit her ear, but he didn't want to use his teeth, so he pressed his lips tightly, "I won't go back."
Chen Xiuyan didn't even need to reach out or do anything, the bag of grain on the ground disappeared.
Chu Wenqian hugged the person without letting go. His heart was still beating violently, "You won't just disappear like this, will you?"
"What's going on? You... forget it, I'd better not know." Chu Wenqian suddenly didn't dare to face the reality.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, I'll be by your side." Chen Xiuyan hugged her to comfort her, "If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't tell you this. You are the person I trust most in the world, and I will be the same in the future.
I want to hold my hand and grow old together. Even if you don't know the secret about me now, you will find it out later. Maybe you have some suspicions, but you just don't ask."
"You can only do this in front of me, otherwise I will be afraid." Chu Wenqian said hoarsely, "Food and medicinal materials are what everyone wants. If outsiders know about it, even if our status is different now, there are still people above us.
, we have to hide our stupidity.”
"I asked Qian Dongliang to take people to do this separately. First, build a fixed house to store grain. There is a special place where we can secretly add more without seeing it. Don't take out your grain and sell it blatantly. Find it.
We are a middleman, and our every move is now under the eyes of others, so we cannot be careless."
"It's up to you." Chen Xiuyan replied in a low voice.
