Chapter 254
Just as Hongying was about to speak, there was a violent coughing sound from the carriage, and the maid beside her turned pale, and hurriedly said to Ouyang Jingcheng: "Patriarch, please quickly show Miss Seven."

Ouyang Jingcheng had no choice but to turn around and get into the carriage first. Seeing that the owner got into the carriage, the maid immediately said to the driver, "Go home."

Hongying and Langqiao looked at the carriage leaving in Juechen with confused faces.

But they quickly put aside this inexplicable episode, and happily returned to Shiliu Lane. It was the right time to come to Linglong Pavilion today. Although the food that shopkeeper Liu can transfer is limited, he told them good news. Their former master, General Chu, returned to the northern border and made great contributions.

Langqiao couldn't help curling her lips when she was happy, "What's the use of making a great contribution? It's still a thorn in the emperor's side. When the general is no longer needed, I don't know what method to use to deal with the general."

Seeing that there was no one around, Hong Ying patted Lang Qiao and said, "Keep your voice down, you dare to say anything, and you're not afraid of causing trouble for Miss."

Lang Qiao just shut up, feeling very happy in her heart, the general is fine, and the lady doesn't have to worry.

As soon as the two returned to Shiliu Lane, they saw Gu Zhian packing up his things.

"Miss, shopkeeper Liu said that our general has returned to the northern border and won the battle." Lang Qiao shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Gu Zhian stopped moving his hands, turned to Langqiao and asked, "What else did Shopkeeper Liu say?"

Lang Qiao looked at Hongying.

Hongying smiled and stepped forward, took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to Gu Zhian, "This is the letter that shopkeeper Liu asked me to bring to Miss."

Gu Zhian stretched out his hand to take it, the handwriting on the envelope was vigorous and powerful, and every stroke was sharp, it was exactly Chu Yuanyan's handwriting.

She thought that when she saw him again, her heart would be calm and calm, just like it was at the beginning.

But now, she hasn't seen anyone yet, but after seeing a few words, her mood starts to fluctuate, and even her heart beats faster.

Gu Zhian, you are really useless.

She laughed at herself, pulled out the letter paper, and looked at it at a glance.

The letter was not written directly to her, but to shopkeeper Liu, asking him to arrange people to find Gu Zhian's whereabouts, and then let shopkeeper Liu secretly allocate a batch of grain and grass, and quietly send it to the north.

Gu Zhian stared at the letter paper with few words in a daze for a while, then smiled, folded the letter paper and stuffed it back into the envelope, and said calmly, "What are you looking for me for?"

Langqiao was about to speak, but was stopped by Hongying. She felt that the young lady's mood was not right, so she asked tentatively, "Miss, is there any misunderstanding between you and the general?"

Gu Zhian shook his head, "I don't know, maybe there is, it's not important." She handed the letter to Hongying, "You guys pack up too, we'll set off for Jiangnan right away."

The crown prince promised to give a batch of food first, and she has arranged for the two yamen servants who came with them from Yunzhou to transport them back to Yunzhou with the crown prince's staff, and she plans to take the large amount of money she just received from the household department to Jiangnan. Harvest grain.

Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice in the Jin Dynasty. Not only is it far away from the border battlefields, but also the prosperity of commerce and trade is probably not comparable to that of Kyoto. More importantly, there are many famous century-old families in Jiangnan, and there are many wealthy businessmen like the He family who are famous all over the world. There are countless fields in these people's hands. In addition to the taxes handed in every day, the leftover grain is either sold in various grain and rice shops, or stored in the granary to wait for the opportunity to sell. In short, now want to deploy large For bulk grain, Jiangnan is the only choice.

Entrusted by the crown prince, she not only needs to allocate the food needed by Yunzhou, but also needs to allocate a large amount of food and grass urgently needed by the northern border.

Originally, they didn't bring many things back, so the three of them quickly packed up and went out. Before leaving, they took the note to Dajin Yinzhuang to exchange for a silver ticket of 30 taels. That said, these are the people sent by the crown prince. Firstly, they can protect Gu Zhian's safety, and secondly, they can deter the officials in the south of the Yangtze River and give her more convenience.

Naturally, Gu Zhi'an would not refuse such an arrangement, and she was not stupid, there was a big banner to take the initiative to talk to her, not for nothing.

How did Ouyang Jingcheng know that the little friend he was thinking of had left the city at this moment, and when the carriage entered Bodhi Lane, his face darkened, and he asked Gu Zhinian, "Why are you pretending to be sick?"
