The days in autumn have obviously become much shorter.
Li Tannian checked the account, and Wu Qi came to the door.
He came to hand the book to her. At first, after the incident with Wu Pingting, he didn't come to look for her for a long time, for fear of disturbing him. Later, Li Tannian took the initiative to find him and talked about wanting to marry her.
After paying back the money, he took the opportunity to talk about cooperation with her.
The Wu family had wide connections, and Wu Qi originally wanted to help her distribute grain. Who would have thought that Li Tannian not only had no intention of asking him to help distribute grain, but also asked him to help collect grain from everywhere.
Wu Qi didn't know what she meant by this, but she still did it.
Of course, everything is done extremely secretly.
Not only did he help her build the largest granary, but he also filled the granary with grain. Now the grain collection ledger is also shown to him on time every month.
Li Tannian mentioned that he should settle the profits with him in advance, but Wu Qi only said that he would have to wait.
It's hard to find a partner who doesn't see benefits for a long time and doesn't panic.
Li Tannian collected the account book and asked curiously: "You really didn't ask a few questions?"
"I believe that Mrs. Li has her own reasons. Since I choose to cooperate with Mrs. Li, I have no reason to look forward or backward."
Wu Qi's words were particularly pleasant to Li Tannian's ears.
"Wu Dongjia, don't worry. In the future, no matter whether these grains can be sold or not, I will never lose money to you."
She couldn't tell Wu Qi about the upcoming food disaster, but she should still give him some assurance.
Wu Qi smiled lightly and said nothing.
At this moment, Dabao suddenly asked: "Mom, where is grandma?"
Li Tannian suddenly realized, it was already dark now, why hasn't her mother come back yet?
"I'm going to take a look at the camp." She got up and walked out.
Wu Qi collected the account book and went out: "Why don't I give Lady Li a ride."
The farm was near the military camp, so Li Tannian did not refuse. When the two of them arrived at the military camp to inquire about it, they learned that Lin Yueniang had never been there.
This made Li Tannian extremely anxious, so he immediately found someone nearby. When the military leaders heard about this, they also ordered their brothers in the camp to help find someone.
But several days passed, and Lin Yueniang was still nowhere to be seen.
Finally, Wu Qi mobilized the Cao gang and found out that Lin Yueniang had followed a girl on the boat.
A closer look revealed that the ship Hao Ran was bound for Shangjing. Li Tannian asked about the girl's appearance again. The people in the Caogang gang only said that the girl was wearing a curtain hat and could not tell her specific appearance. However, judging from the accent and
From the look of her dress, she must be a noblewoman from the capital.
Li Tannian somehow remembered what Lu Zhi said that day that Li Jintang came to Qingzhou Camp!
She felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, and that sense of uneasiness drove her to pack her things immediately and leave for Beijing.
She originally wanted to keep the four little ones at home, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't rest assured, so she simply took the four little ones with her.
The boat was arranged by Wu Qi. There were not many people on the boat. They were all merchants making a living. It was not that complicated. Even so, Li Tannian still told the four little ones not to wander around and follow her.
Just be by your side.
The four little ones were very obedient and always followed her. During the day, Li Tannian would take them out of the cabin to have some fun. Of course, most of the time, she would take them to read and write in the cabin.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
On that day, the weather was fine, and the ship docked at the pier for a short time, and then there were waves of hawking and shouting.
"Selling sugar melons, sweet and fragrant sugar melons."
"Qiulizi, the Qiulizi I just picked from the book!"
······
The four little ones poked their heads out of the cabin, and all kinds of tangy fragrances came out.
When Li Tannian raised her head, she saw the four of them with greedy faces. For a moment, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Life on the boat is simple. For these days, because of Wu Qi, although they have been taken care of by the boat owner, they can only eat fish and meat. Only when they hit the shore can they eat something else.
Yes, no wonder several children are so greedy.
"Let's go, Mom will take you to buy some snacks to eat. We will buy whatever you want to eat."
As Li Tannian spoke, he led the four little ones outside.
The four little ones were so happy that they took a look at the people selling goods on the pier and chose what they wanted most.
Fried peanuts and fried melon seeds are indispensable. In addition, the four little ones also chose peanut cakes at the same time. They just said that they would bring them to grandma. After hearing this, Li Tannian's face condensed for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
Then, she asked for some sweet cakes and fresh autumn pears. She thought that the remaining journey was not long, so she was afraid that if she bought some more, the four children would be unable to eat because they had too many snacks, so she immediately stopped eating.
Didn't buy anything more.
Because there were people coming and going on the pier, she didn't stay too long and led the four little ones back to the cabin.
However, what she didn't know was that at this moment, there were several pairs of eyes looking at them in the small cabin where the cargo was stored.
"Wanshou, then, isn't that the little girl in your village? Come over quickly and take a look, am I right?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and a man whose face turned pale due to seasickness came over. He just raised his eyes in response, but when he saw the man, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's Li Tannian! It's really her!"
While he was talking, a woman suddenly came up to him, pushed him away, and looked at the man fiercely.
Who else could that woman be if she wasn't Sifeng?
It's just that Sifeng is now wearing shabby cotton clothes and has long lost the energy he had when he was in Lujiacun. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a shabby settlement.
No, it’s not just her who looks like her, but the people with her who all look like her!
"Hmph! If it hadn't been for Li Tannian, my eldest brother wouldn't have been in such a miserable state. Today, she's doing better. We were enemies on a narrow road, so I bumped into her!" The person who spoke was none other than Huang Laowu, Huang Banxian's younger brother.
At first, after Li Tannian exposed the affair between Huang Laowu and Sifeng, Sifeng reluctantly followed Huang Laowu.
Huang Laowu himself was engaged in shady business. At first, he could take Sifeng out to eat and drink. However, later, he was targeted by an outsider in Qingzhou and reported to the police. They really didn't have any
I found a way to escape.
Wanshou followed him for a few good days. This time, it was the time to retreat. When he heard that he actually had Li Tannian's intention again, he was frightened and frightened.
"Now that Lu Zhi is a junior general in the Qingzhou military camp, we must not do this! Let's go to Beijing and avoid the limelight."
When Wanshou said this, he received dissatisfied looks from Huang Laowu and Sifeng.
He was stunned and forgot his words for a moment.
"Wanshou, don't you know? It's because Lu Zhi became a general that we had to take action. Think about it, if we kidnap those bastards of his and he still doesn't have to take the money honestly, that's worse than us
It’s much better to kidnap someone and sell them in a secret room!”
Wanshou looked at Huang Laowu in shock and astonishment. Sifeng's eyes lit up, and a dark conspiracy unfolded in the hearts of the three of them...
