After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 194
Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng went to Fucheng together in a carriage.

Gu Jingcheng was bad at walking, so Su Xiaomu personally took him to Master Wan's house after he was in a wheelchair, and then asked the driver to take her to the grain shop.

As expected, Su Xiaomu's heart sank when he saw the price of grain on it, and he felt that her worry was real.

Although the overall price of grain has not risen much, even before the autumn harvest, such a small price increase can be regarded as normal.

But due to the worry in her heart at this time, Su Xiaomu really had to think more.

She asked the coachman to find Aunt Zhao and Zhao Lin, and told them to go to other grain shops in Fucheng separately. They hoarded grain together. Su Xiaomu directly asked the boss to send the grain to the villa, and in order to let the boss go faster , Su Xiaomu himself added a few taels of silver for travel expenses.

When the owner of the grain shop met such a big client who said nothing, of course he had no reason to reject her. Not only did he not ask Su Xiaomu for extra travel expenses, but he also gave her some old rice.

It was also at this time that Su Xiaomu knew that he still had Chen Mi here, and even with a wave of his hand, he took away one-third of her inventory.

After Su Xiaomu bought it all day, and discussed some details of buying grain with the boss, she looked at the rice purchase receipt sent by the Zhao family and calculated the grain in her hand.

If she did not make a mistake in her calculations, the food she has now is enough for all the people in the farm to survive for three months with enough food.

If everyone saves food, half a year is not impossible.

After understanding the data and confirming all the stored food, Su Xiaomu felt a little more at ease, not as flustered as before.

Everything went well on her side, but there was some trouble for Gu Jingcheng.

As soon as Gu Jingcheng entered the door, he told the master exactly what Su Xiaomu was worried about, but the master didn't take what he said to heart, instead he cared about his legs, and hoped that he would hurry up Get well, don't miss the meaning of spring next year.

Gu Jingcheng knows that Master Wan is concerned about himself, but right now he really doesn't want to talk about these utilitarian things, he just hopes to help Su Xiaomu accomplish the things she worries about, and by the way prevent the people from being displaced, and he has no power to fight back in the face of natural disasters .

Therefore, when Master Wan was about to ask about his legs again, Gu Jingcheng spoke first to stop him: "The matter of the students' legs is not important at the moment. This year's work has been done for nothing, and everyone will not have enough to eat, and the city will definitely be in chaos!"

Gu Jingcheng now trusts Su Xiaomu very much.

What she said must be true, otherwise she would not have come to buy food with him today.

"Where is it so serious?" Master Wan still stroked his beard indifferently, "One autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains to wear cotton, now the weather has just turned cold, and winter hasn't even started yet. It’s like this every year, it’s just that this year is a little earlier, so there’s nothing to be concerned about.”

Master Wan patted Gu Jingcheng on the shoulder. He has always been really concerned about Gu Jingcheng, so I hope he will not worry about these details.

Master Wan remembered that when he was having dinner with his friends in a restaurant a few days ago, he mentioned Gu Jingcheng. The most gifted student I've ever seen.

If it wasn't for his leg injury this time, maybe he could really become the number one scholar in Chunwei this time, as they hoped for him, and he would serve in the Hanlin Academy from now on, and he would have the opportunity to become the emperor's right-hand man in the future, so as not to waste it With his talent, those who are teachers can have a worthy student in the future.

But it's just... now there is a little uncontrollable problem, which makes people feel extremely regretful, but also hopes that there will be a miracle.

Master Wan kept looking at Gu Jingcheng's leg. Although Gu Jingcheng never took this leg injury to heart, he still felt terrified when he looked at him like this.

"Master." Gu Jingcheng covered his knees with his palms. He changed his tone and said earnestly, "Regardless of whether Xiaomu and the students are worrying unnecessarily this time, the common people cannot afford to gamble. If the winter this time will be before the autumn harvest Come, if there is not enough food to survive the winter, and not enough money to continue living, the city will definitely be in chaos."

The people usually look like they are easy to handle and talkative, they are soft.

But once someone touches their roots, wants them to die, and does not give them a way out, then the common people will go crazy, which is also frightening, and there is no way to stop them.

Everyone didn't eat or drink, and they had to resort to any means if they wanted to survive. Gu Jingcheng felt that it would be unbelievable if things could develop to such a horrible ending in the end.

"You are so persistent and trust Miss Su so much?"

Master Wan was touched by his earnestness, so he casually asked him one more question.

"Didn't you already answer the Master about the locust plague last time?"

Gu Jingcheng asked Master Wan back, his eyes followed Master Wan closely, and he was not willing to leave at all: "If Master doesn't believe it, the students are willing to believe it. If the Master doesn't want to go to the county magistrate to talk about it, then the students can go by themselves. This matter is Xiaomu's responsibility." If you say it, the students will believe it unswervingly.”

Gu Jingcheng's voice was resounding, and Master Wan suddenly laughed when he saw him like this: "Jingcheng, before your wife and I were always worried about the matter between you and Mrs. Su, and I used to think that you two were not close enough. Considering her, she is also willing to let you take the lead and give you all the benefits, which is enough to show that the relationship between the two of you is getting better and better."

"What does the master mean?"

Gu Jingcheng didn't know why Master Wan suddenly talked about the relationship between him and Su Xiaomu.

"I'll go to the county magistrate later, if there is something to avoid, if not, then prevent it, don't worry."

After Master Wan said this, he still looked at his legs with serious eyes: "In any case, you must protect your body. There is still half a year before Chunwei, and there is still a chance for everything."

"Students keep in mind the Master's teachings."

-

When Gu Jingcheng came out of Master Wan's house, Su Xiaomu was waiting for him at the door.

She was wearing a thick cloak, and when she was cold, she rubbed her palms together and breathed into them.

Or just stand there and stomp your feet.

Su Xiaomu is a lively image in Gu Jingcheng's memory. When he is not in a mood and bored, as long as he sees her, he will never be angry again. There is always a feeling of spring coming from a dead tree.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly."

As soon as Su Xiaomu saw Gu Jingcheng, he stepped forward happily and pushed him away.
