Chapter 251 Intention
Jiang Shaohua had a deeper intention that Lu Cong couldn't guess at all.

Jiang Shaohua privately told Chen Jinyu: "When you arrive in Jingzhou, go find your brother first. When sending grain to the Governor's Mansion, ask Chen Haoran to go with you."

Chen Jinyu was so smart, she immediately lowered her voice and laughed: "Is the princess going to take the opportunity to protect my elder brother's matchmaking?"

Jiang Shaohua smiled lightly and said: "In short, let your brother go and show it to Governor Xue. If Governor Xue takes a fancy to you, then start planning slowly. If Governor Xue doesn't fall in love with your brother, it doesn't matter. Anyway, nothing has been revealed. "

Chen Haoran went to Jingzhou Fuxue last year, where he excelled in his studies. In terms of appearance, he is a handsome young man. In terms of origin, he is the eldest grandson of Chen Changshi. Speaking of which, she is also qualified to marry the youngest daughter of Governor Xue.

"Don't argue with your brother about this matter." Jiang Shaohua warned with a smile: "Just go as a descendant. If there are traces, it will not be beautiful."

Chen Jinyu nodded in agreement.

Ten thousand stones of grain were loaded into hundreds of carriages, escorted by hundreds of guards from the first battalion of guards. Chen Sheren went to Cui Du again, received twenty copies of the new grain farming atlas, and set off soon.

The endless grain transport convoy attracted everyone's attention when it left Nanyang County. It even alerted several groups of bandits to follow them quietly.

As soon as they saw the brave, tall, and murderous soldiers, the bandits quickly shuddered away.

Of course food is good, but you have to be alive to eat it.

The Nanyang Army was dispatched a month ago and wiped out more than 800 bandits. This personal guard army looked even more powerful than the Nanyang Army. Once they take action, they will be killed by the sword.

Forget it, let’s not grab it.

"I have reported to Commander Qin that the hundreds of bandits who have been following us have quietly escaped."

Qin Zhan sneered: "It's important to escort the food. Otherwise, I will give them some trouble."

All the guards burst out laughing, all eager to try without any fear.

The tall young man who looked like a black tower suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Commander Qin, I will lead the people to fight."

Qin Zhan glanced over and said: "You are not allowed to act in vain. We are ordered by the princess to escort the grain and we will not complete the mission until we reach Jingzhou safely."

Tao Qi responded dully.

Qin Zhan said slowly: "On the way back from finishing our errands, if there are any blind bandits blocking our way, we can punish them."

Tao's eyes as big as copper bells suddenly lit up, and he grinned: "Okay!"

Qin Zhan saw this and smiled.

Tao Da is frustrated in love and has never married a wife. He is twenty-four this year and has become an old bachelor in the first camp. Qin Zhan tried to persuade Tao Da several times, but he couldn't persuade Tao Da, who was stubborn and stubborn. I had no choice but to let him go.

The convoy delivering food spent seven or eight days on the road before arriving in Jingzhou.

Outside the city gate, a group of people was already waiting.

The leader was none other than Staff Officer Zhang, whom Governor Xue relied on most. Staff Zhang looked at the convoy filled with grain and his brows were filled with joy. However, when he saw the beautiful girl who was leading the delivery of food, his smile couldn't help but pause.

The officialdom was full of men, so it was really awkward for a girl to appear out of nowhere.

Even though the girl in front of him was the princess's wife and Chen Changshi's beloved granddaughter, Staff Zhang felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the hesitation on Staff Zhang's face, Chen Jinyu's smile also faded: "I am here to deliver grain seeds on the order of the princess. I wonder who is responsible for receiving them?"

Asking questions knowingly is also showing dissatisfaction.

Staff Zhang quickly came to his senses and stepped forward to exchange greetings with a smile on his face.

As a staff member, there is no official rank. Speaking of which, Princess Sheren does not have a formal rank. However, Princess Nanyang spoke highly of Chen Sheren, so Staff Zhang naturally had to be more polite.

Counting the amount of grain and putting it into storage was the responsibility of Zhang's staff. When Chen Jinyu delivers the food, he has completed his errand.

"I don't know when the governor will be free. I will pay him a visit and deliver the princess's personal letter." Staff Zhang smiled and said, "The governor will be free tomorrow. Please go to the governor's office tomorrow."

"Also, the place where Chen Sheren will settle down is ready. Please invite Chen Sheren to come into the city."

Then, Staff Zhang looked at the hundreds of tall and strong soldiers and felt a little confused. How to accommodate so many people?

Qin Zhan took the initiative and said, "I have finished my errands and will go back now. Chen Sheren, I will leave twenty people for you."

Chen Jinyu smiled and nodded.

Qin Zhan led his guards back. Tao Da shamelessly approached Commander Qin and muttered something, but Commander Qin kicked him far away.

On this side, Chen Jinyu was taken to a large house to settle down.

Before he finished his cup of tea, a gentle and handsome young man came over with a smile.

The reunion of brother and sister after a long absence is a joy. Chen Jinyu remembered the princess's instructions and did not mention Xue Liu Niang. She only smiled and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Governor's Mansion to deliver a letter. Brother, please go with me!"

Chen Haoran didn't think much and nodded immediately.

Early the next morning, the brother and sister each dressed up and went to Governor Xue's mansion.

Let's talk about Governor Xue, who sent out 20,000 taels of silver in exchange for 10,000 shi of new grain. This amount of grain is enough to promote grain planting throughout Jingzhou.

This favor is really profound.

Governor Xue accepted the favor and treated the Chen brothers and sisters who brought the letter with extra courtesy. Otherwise, how could a scholar and a low-level scholar be qualified to be the guest of Governor Xue?
"This is the princess's personal letter. Please accept it, Lord Governor."

Chen Jinyu was neither humble nor overbearing, and presented the letter with a smile. Governor Xue accepted the letter with a cheerful face, opened it on the spot and read it.

This was the first time Chen Haoran saw his sister when she was on duty. He felt both novel and a little admired.

In front of a high-ranking official like Xue Jishi, it is really remarkable that he can talk with ease.

After reading the letter, Governor Xue frowned and said with a smile: "The princess is upright, generous and righteous. I will write a reply right away and ask Chen Sheren to wait a moment."

Chen Jinyu responded with a smile.

As soon as Governor Xue left, Chen Haoran gave his sister a thumbs up.

Chen Jinyu raised her eyebrows and smiled proudly.

After lighting a stick of incense, Governor Xue came back and invited the Chen brothers and sisters to have lunch at the Governor's Mansion.

Chen Jinyu felt refreshed and winked at his brother. There was a tacit understanding between the brother and sister, so Chen Haoran immediately agreed.

Governor Xue seemed to have just seen Chen Haoran at this moment, and asked casually with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Chen is studying in Jingzhou Prefecture?"

Chen Haoran stood up and responded.

Governor Xue asked a few questions casually, such as whether the age of study was suitable for marriage and so on.

Chen Haoran answered respectfully.

At noon, Governor Xue called his nephew Xue Lin and daughter Xue Liu Niang over. Of course there are separate seats for men and women. However, before the banquet begins, everyone must also see the ceremony.

Xue Liu Niang, who has willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, fair skin, fair skin and a beautiful temperament, smiled and saluted: "Liu Niang has met Mr. Chen, the master of Chen Sheren."

Chen Haoran's handsome face turned slightly red and he returned the favor with his hands.
