Lin Jiabiyu

Waking up early the next morning, Qiu Zi looked at the kettle in the inner room in surprise, and sighed with some self-blame, "Why did you sleep so hard yesterday!"

Lin Wan yawned and half-opened her eyes. After sleeping all night, her head felt lighter and her throat improved a lot.Seeing that Qiuzi was holding a kettle in his hand, he hurriedly asked, "Is there any water? Pour me a glass."

Qiu Zi held the kettle to test the temperature of the water, then poured the water and handed it to Lin Wan. "Did the girl get up by herself yesterday?"

"Yeah," Lin Wan replied vaguely, drank a glass of water, and suddenly felt comfortable all over, stretched her waist and smiled at Qiu Zi: "I'm much better today, let's go to my mother for dinner." .”

After washing up for a while, Lin Wan went to Liu's house in a thick jacket.

"Why did you come here early in the morning?" Seeing Lin Wan's figure, Mrs. Liu hurriedly ordered the girls to open the curtains, and said angrily, "Come in quickly! You don't even have a hand stove."

"Don't worry, mother, I'm much better. It's only a few steps away, where is it cold?" Lin Wan smiled and leaned into Liu Shi's arms, hugging Liu Shi's arms and laughing.

Mrs. Liu heard that although Lin Wan's voice was not as usual, it was much better than yesterday, so she sighed and ordered the maids to prepare the meal.

At the dinner table, Lin Wan held the spoon in one hand, tilted her head and asked casually, "I heard that someone came from the Lu family yesterday?"

Mrs. Liu took a look at Lin Wan, how could she not know that her daughter was here for a special question?With a secret sigh, he suppressed the worries in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's Erlang from the Lu family who said that some dry goods were sent from the north, and Princess Wei sent some from each family, and we also have a share. I'm still wondering Why did he come in person? He didn't say anything, and I didn't have a chance to ask. That kid doesn't talk much, but he's still polite. Next time you see him, don't make faces with him. "

Lin Wan paused for a moment in the movement of his hands, then hummed softly, and nodded a little depressed.He is still polite?That's a rogue apprentice!

After the mother and daughter had finished their breakfast, Lin Wan had a whim and asked Zhu Jin to bring her a sewing purse.I re-embroidered the half-embroidered small purse at the end of last year. Before I embroidered a few stitches, Polygonatum outside called back, saying that shopkeeper Liao had come and was waiting at the back corner door.

"Ask him to come in." Lin Wan hurriedly threw away her things and put on her shoes indiscriminately.He picked up his skirt and ran out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu sighed slightly, grabbed her daughter, put a hand stove in Lin Wan's hand, straightened Lin Wan's skirt, and said: "If you see someone, come back early, it's cold outside."

Lin Wan smiled and nodded.Call Yuzhu and Lianqiao to go to the small study in Yimeiyuan.

After entering the room, Liao Zhongwen saluted Lin Wan with a solemn expression.Because it was still the first month, I said two more auspicious words, and then I got down to business.

"Come here today, I have two important things to say to the girl. The first one was explained by shopkeeper Hu. The situation in the north is tense, and the grassland is not peaceful. Shopkeeper Hu started his journey a while ago, and now he just arrived at Yanmen Pass. There are also people from the Lu family. Shopkeeper Hu said, please don’t worry, girl. Everything is fine. It’s just that I’m afraid we won’t be able to hear the news in a few days. If the girl has an order, you might as well ask someone close to General Lu to bring a letter.” Liao Zhongwen said He paused here, carefully watching Lin Wan's reaction.

"Well, I see. Later, I will ask Yue Liu to send a letter to the north. If there is something very urgent, I can take care of it over there." Lin Wan pondered for a moment, and said to Liao Zhongwen, "How much did the Lu family follow?" People? What identities are they?"

"There are two people in the open, both acting as shopkeepers of the caravan. We don't know about the one in the dark. We only know that the person in charge is surnamed Zhou, who seems to be the hidden guard of the Lu family." Liao Zhongwen frowned slightly, thinking It took a moment to answer. "Even for the two people in the open, only Shopkeeper Hu knows their identities."

Lin Wan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and sighed: "That's fine. You continue to talk, there is one more thing?"

Liao Zhongwen nodded, his face darkened, and after thinking for a while, he said carefully, "It's about the grain bank. Didn't the girl ask you to collect grain as in previous years last time? But this year, those farms in the north, Most of them were preempted by the Feng family. Now we have less than [-] shi of food in our hands. In the north...if there is a war, we may not be able to pay. What the shopkeeper Hu means is that we have already made a deal with the Lu family. Well, it's better to save some food, in case there is a problem in the north, it's easy to deal with it. But this year..."

Lin Wan held the teacup in her hand and turned it lightly, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked at Liao Zhongwen sharply: "Where's Zhao Youqian?"

Liao Zhongwen's voice froze suddenly, and then he said with a wry smile: "The shopkeeper Zhao is busy making peace with those in charge of the farms in the north these days." As he said this, Liao Zhongwen was extremely surprised, and he respected and feared Lin Wan.This girl has an unusual mind and a calmness that does not match her age. It is no wonder that her adoptive father can follow her wholeheartedly.Now there is the Lu family again... Thinking of Hu Wanda's instructions, Liao Zhongwen straightened his chest, put on a smile again, and said to Lin Wan: "The meaning of the shopkeeper Zhao is that since the Feng family squeezed in, the court is watching this area again." Hey, we don’t have to rush up and rob others, and it’s the same if we accept it next year. I figured it out, the suburbs of Beijing won’t be able to keep up, but if it’s farther away, we can try it, according to the girl?”

"You don't need to worry about collecting grain, let shopkeeper Zhao work harder, and go to the places near the capital to see if you can harvest it. We are a big grain merchant in the north, how can we run out of grain?" Lin Wan rubbed the hand. Teacup sneered, with a sharp look in his eyes, and told Liao Zhongwen, "Just pick some useful people, take care of the business road to the north, and just wait to take over the food."

Liao Zhongwen was startled when he heard the words, and then his heart beat wildly, but he just smiled on his face, bowed his hands and bowed to the end, and responded very respectfully.

After coming out of the small study, Lin Wan stood in the corridor, breathed a long sigh of relief against the cold wind, turned around and told Yuzhu, "Let the concierge prepare the car, and let's go to Lanyue Tower."

Yu Zhu opened her mouth, wanting to persuade her a few words, but swallowed the words in Lin Wan's eyes that were turning cold, and lifted her skirt to look for the woman driving the carriage at the second gate.

The Lin family's carriage stopped at the back door of Lanyue Building, and shopkeeper Zhong hurriedly explained to everyone, and greeted them with a smile on his face. "How come the girl is free?"

"I need to trouble Uncle Zhong with some things." Lin Wan smiled and walked upstairs naturally. "Is Ding Changan nearby? Please ask Uncle Zhong to send someone to look for him."

Shopkeeper Zhong was shocked when he heard this.He hurriedly led several people to the private room upstairs.After entering the room, Lin Wan ordered Yuzhu to guard the door, then she smiled and said to shopkeeper Zhong, "Do you have any news from shopkeeper Min?"

"It just arrived today, and it's about to be delivered to the girl!" Shopkeeper Zhong's eyes lit up, and he sighed. "The southern end has been prepared and ready to go to sea at any time. The grain that the girl asked to harvest has also been harvested in sevens and eighties, and it is all packed."

Lin Wan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the stool by the table to let shopkeeper Zhong sit down, and ordered Lianqiao to serve tea.Tapping the table with his fingers, he was silent for a moment, sipped his tea and said with a smile, "It's also spring in the south at this time, let them find the fastest shortcut to transport the grain to the north, and shopkeeper Liao will take over here."

Shopkeeper Zhong's eye sockets shrank slightly, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought the food was prepared for going to sea.Now it seems that it was actually prepared for the war in the north?But this is undoubtedly letting the court cut flesh, this matter...

Lin Wan looked at Shopkeeper Zhong's tense face, smiled softly, and explained with a sigh: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, I just want to be prepared. We don't rob money from the court, so it's possible that the court can accept money for no reason. Our food?" Let's talk again.And the Lu family!If you really want the imperial court to directly collect the food, then the Lu family will directly hand over the military power!

Shopkeeper Zhong stroked his chest and sighed, looked at Lin Wan with gratified eyes, his eyes were a little wet, and sighed in a barely audible voice: "The girl is more and more like the master..."

Coming out of the back door of Lanyue Tower, Ding Changan was already waiting in front of the carriage. "Miss, do you have any instructions for finding the young one?"

Standing on the carriage, Lin Wan smiled so brightly that Ding Changan's heart skipped a beat. "Girl, I have an errand for you. Do you know Zhao Youqian, a big grain merchant in the north?"

"We know each other!" Ding Changan came back to his senses.Squinting his eyes with a silly smile on his face, he nodded hurriedly.

"That's good. He is going to leave the capital recently. Please go and keep an eye on him yourself. Well, it's best to make him a little trouble so that he can't return to the capital temporarily. Let him stay outside for 20 days after thinking about it." God, you might take this matter?" Lin Wan's eyes were bright, and the smile on his face was wanton, obviously in a good mood.

"Yes, yes!" Ding Changan clapped his hands carelessly in salute, "Don't worry, girl, this matter will be left to you!"

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, patted Ding Changan on the shoulder and said, "This matter is extremely important, girl, I'm counting on you!"

Ding Changan laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, he agreed a little flattered, and made a promise like an oath.Watching Lin Wan's carriage drift away, it took a long time before he shivered in the cold wind, shook his head and walked away humming.

In the Xining Palace, the King of Xining walked around the study several times. Lu Junzhao stood by the table with a sullen face, glanced at the King of Xining, and said in a deep voice: "Don't turn around. The things in the north have been prepared. This battle It is essential, and it is also good for the Lu family!"

"You know what a fart!" King Xining roared angrily, "How long can the grain and grass in the north last?"

"More than half a year."

King Xining stared at Lu Junzhao complicatedly, and said with a dark face, "What if you can't fight for half a year?"

Lu Junzhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, with disdain in his eyes.

"Hmph!" King Xining snorted coldly, pointed at Lu Junzhao and cursed, "I taught you for nothing? Wars are not only fought on the battlefield, but also supplies in the rear! The emperor wholeheartedly wants to weaken the power of the Lu family in the north. Can he not use this opportunity? Of those princes, which one is more worry-free? All of them want to reach out to the north! How many times have I told you? Take a look at the overall situation, make a decision before making a move!"

Lu Junzhao's face also darkened, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "Hu Wanda has already passed the Yanmen Pass. If the Eight Parts of the Grassland can get into chaos, Beiyan can't sustain it. This battle won't last long."

"Idiot!" King Xining jumped up and cursed angrily, "Can the Eight Parts of the Grassland be messed up? When will it be messed up? Who can say for sure?"

The king of Xining was scolding vigorously, but the housekeeper outside, Lu An, knocked on the door and replied: "Master, someone from the Lin family has come, saying something urgent!"

"Get out—" King Xining kicked towards the door, and just as he raised his leg in mid-air, he suddenly retracted it, opened the door and asked, "Who's here?"

"It's said to be from the Lin family, and he looks like a quack." Lu An lowered his head and described it very calmly.

"Please come in." Lu Junzhao's voice came from the room, Lu An glanced at King Xining, and hurriedly retreated.

Yue Liu followed Lu An all the way to the small courtyard of the study. When he saw Lu Junzhao and King Xining, he slightly arched his hands as a salute, and explained the purpose of coming very simply: "My girl said that some grains have been shipped from the south recently. I wonder if the general can borrow a place."

The king of Xining widened his eyes when he heard the words, and then smiled at Lu Junzhao winkingly. He didn't care about Yue Liu's impoliteness, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes, yes, of course! You can release as many as you want!"

Yue Liu nodded when he heard the words, raised his hand and said goodbye, turned around and went outside, Lu An was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased him out.

In the yard, King Xining laughed while shaking his head, dragged Lu Junzhao and laughed, "You son of a bitch this time has a good eye! That little girl from the Lin family is really capable! She should be the daughter-in-law of my Lu family!"

Lu Junzhao did not speak with a gloomy face, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. Thinking of Lin Wan's slightly red cheeks, his heart softened. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
