Shi Chunfen looked at him and said seriously: "Anyway, you have to drink flower wine every day. Why not use this as a cover to secretly dig tunnels? Temples cannot be our only stronghold. Lively places like Goulan can also be one of them."
A hiding place."
Chu Xiu quickly understood, "Hiding yourself in the city?"
"That's right." Shi Chunquin nodded with a smile, "How about you, are you willing to take charge of this difficult task?"
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows, "What reason do I have for not agreeing?"
He is also a member of the Chu family. If the rebels really come, even if he has martial arts skills, he may not be able to survive alone.
Besides, it's not that he has no ambitions, it's just that he hasn't waited for the right opportunity before pretending to be addicted to wine and sex. Now that this opportunity has been placed in front of him, it's a great opportunity for him to claim credit in front of the old lady. Naturally, he won't miss it.
Seeing that he was still awake and not deliberately angry with himself, Shi Chunquin laughed and said, "Then I will ask Li Yan to communicate with you about this later. I hope it can be completed as soon as possible before the rebels come."
"Your hope is wrong." Chu Xiu said seriously: "You should hope that the rebels would never come over."
Shi Chunfen was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, "You're right, it's best for them never to come over."
——
It is said that you are always afraid of what you are afraid of. Not long after the Chu family's tunnel was dug, the rebels came outside Liuzhou City and began to attack the city. Liuzhou Governor Zhao Pingchuan personally led his troops to resist, but it was obvious that they were unable to do what they wanted.
Liuzhou has been living too comfortably these past years, and the prefect is even more pampered. Even though he was full of ambition, it has gradually been smoothed out in a stable life. This time, he was somewhat overwhelmed by the vicious rebels.
The relationship between the Chu family and the prefect's mansion was so good, so naturally they had received the news early, and everyone gathered together again, panicking about the coming disaster.
"According to Mr. Zhao, Liuzhou City may not last long this time. It will fall in three to five to seven days at most. By then, all of us will be on the chopping block of the rebels, and everyone must be prepared in advance." The speaker
It's Chu Yan. Now that he is the head of the family, he is naturally extremely serious.
The whole hall suddenly became excited, everyone was chattering and discussing, and without exception they were all uneasy.
"Brother, will those rebels deal with us because of the affairs of Huating County Lord?" Chu Gui couldn't help but ask.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and sighed, "I don't know either."
"Ha!" Chu Shun sneered and said sarcastically: "I don't know, but I know it, your big house can really hurt people."
This was said so unkindly that the old lady raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, "When the Lord of Huating County married in, how much honor did you all get? Now that something has happened, you want to cut off the relationship with her. Is it true?"
backbone?"
As if he didn't expect that the old lady who had always been at odds with Huating County Lord would speak for her. Chu Shun was dissatisfied and said: "It doesn't matter how brave you are, they are just steel knives. Do we have to do it for a woman who has already abandoned us?"
Are you going to expose your neck and let others chop it?"
"That's right!" Xue Jinxiu agreed.
After this period of recuperation, she was no longer as crazy as before, and she became much more awake.
Although Chu Quan's inhumanity is irreversible, life still has to go on. Now she is a little more sinister than before and has become more taciturn.
"If the rebels really surrounded the Chu family because of her, does your eldest family have to take some responsibility and take the initiative to shoulder all this?"
"Bear it?" Chu Shun sneered: "How can they bear it, if they don't have to use the entire Chu family's property to save their own lives? In the final analysis, it means sacrificing our interests in exchange for their carefree life."
"That's enough!" Chu Yan interrupted unbearably: "What do you mean by your interests? Aren't you a member of the Chu family? When you spend money, you say it is your interests, and when you are in trouble, you just complain here.
Wai. Qingqing and I have not yet reconciled. In addition to being the head of Huating County, she is also the eldest grandma of our Chu family. You all should speak with respect and speak less as if she has caused us trouble!"
Seeing that he was really angry, Chu Shun and Xue Jinxiu shut their mouths, but their eyes were still full of resentment, full of unwillingness and anger.
Chu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to them, but raised his eyes to look at everyone, "Liuzhou City is about to fall, what are your plans?"
Chu Gui quickly said: "Whatever plans we have, we all have to listen to my eldest brother."
Seeing that he was acting good at this time, Chu Shun snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Low-level!"
Chu Gui ignored him and still sat upright, looking unfazed.
Cao Yingchun said with a smile: "How can we usually know so much about such important family and country matters? There is nothing we can do if we don't listen to my elder brother!"
"You have to be really obedient." The old lady glanced at them and said coldly.
Then, she turned to look at Chu Yan and said seriously: "While Liuzhou City has not yet fallen, we have to prepare a large amount of rice for the Chu family. It is best to eat it for several years. In this way, even if the property is taken away by them, we will not be able to eat it for a while."
You won’t starve to death in between.”
"Mother can rest assured about this." Chu Yan quickly said: "When the chaos broke out in Liuzhou City, I had already hoarded all the food in the rice shop under our name, and also purchased it separately to ensure that after anything happened,
There will be no shortage of food. In addition, I also built a livestock shed in our house and raised some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, so meat food is guaranteed."
"Oh?" The old lady was a little surprised, "You can even think of this?"
Chu Yan smiled and said frankly: "It's not the kid's idea, it's all the idea of the equinox."
Seeing him taking the initiative to mention Shi Chun Equinox, everyone's eyes quickly fell on her. During this period of time, not only Shi Chun Equinox, but also Chu Yan's attitude towards her had changed.
The daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to have settled their differences now and have a lot of topics to talk about.
Aunt Liu glanced at Shi Chunquin warily, her eyes full of evil.
Shi Chunfen ignored the gazes of these people and said with a smile: "This is not really an idea, it is just my humble opinion. Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as food is guaranteed at all times, even if other things are taken away,
There is no need for us to panic."
"Yeah." The old lady nodded with satisfaction, her eyes full of approval, "You still have the foresight."
Shi Chunfen laughed, knowing that the old lady was deliberately praising her in front of so many people. After all, any trouble in the house could not escape the old lady's eyes. I am afraid that she already knew about such a big thing as building a livestock shed. Now,
I deliberately asked it in front of everyone so that she could have a chance to show off.
