Jinxin

Chapter 82

Su Mingxi said with a smile: "Young lady Bingxue is smart, but Yu Jiaguo knows little about the affairs of the world. You must know that the Xia Kingdom and other countries in the west and the Tatar Kingdom in the north are countries with rich mineral grasslands but very little grain. If it can be transported there, the food is worth a hundred times. They are not short of gold and silver, but they are short of food and grass. In order to maintain the peace of several countries in recent years, the emperor has always opened border trade and allowed a certain amount of trade. Although there is a lot of food and grass for greedy ink, it is not a small profit to transport it in a dozen or dozens of batches a year."

It was only then that Ruan Yunsi understood that the current emperor was also a wise man. He knew that if the Tatars and the party members in the west were out of food and threatened to starve to death, they would definitely do their best to attack the border and plunder.However, if there is too much supply of food, tea and salt, it will strengthen the strength of the two powerful countries. Therefore, the border trade here is not endless, but only opened several times a month, so that those people will not be threatened by hunger, but there is no way to grow Sitting big, and because of this, can be exchanged for the peace and prosperity of the Great Wu Kingdom.

Immediately nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, young master, but I don't know what you want Brother Nan to do? He is young and has no skills. If there is something dangerous, please forgive me for not agreeing to your request." In fact, Ruan Yunsi could roughly guess what Su Mingxi was looking for Zhong Nan for. You must know that those people are cruel and merciless. Once Zhong Nan shows his signs, they will be in danger.

Sure enough, Su Mingxi said with a smile: "It's okay, I want Brother Nan to pretend to be a small peddler, and go around the places where the military rations are collected around the capital to find out some news, and he doesn't need to do anything, just find out the news Finally, just tell me, and I will deal with it myself when the time comes."

Ruan Yunsi pondered for a while, then sighed, "I have to ask Brother Nan and Yun Niang what they mean, otherwise, if they are in danger, it's not for fun..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhong Nan jumped out and shouted: "As long as my sister doesn't send me out, of course I'm willing to help the little father-in-law. A man should do these meaningful things."

Ruan Yunsi glared at him, and snorted, "What do you mean? It's meaningless to help me?" Seeing Zhong Nan sticking out his tongue, he smiled and said, "It's also meaningful to help my sister, but this is a family after all. What you do for the little prince, but what you do for the little prince is to complain for the people of the world. Comparing the two, the latter is naturally more meaningful. Sister and sister, my sister-in-law has already agreed, so you can agree to me."

Ruan Yunsi knew that Zhong Nan was such a hot-blooded person, otherwise he would not have been the only one to question the official in the east of the village just now.If he is not allowed to go this time, the brat will definitely have lumps in his heart.But if he is really allowed to go, he is afraid that something will happen.But thinking about it the other way around, for a person like Su Mingxi, Zhong Nanduo helped him, and once he really became an official in the future, it should be beneficial.

After pondering for a long time, Fang helplessly shook his head and said: "Well, it's up to you, I can see it too, if you don't agree, I'm afraid you will hate me in the future." After finishing speaking, he turned to Su Ming Xi said: "There is only one thing. After all, Brother Nan doesn't have any martial arts skills. If he encounters danger, he really can only wait for death. The young man has so many guards, I don't know..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhong Nan said: "Don't, don't. My sister doesn't know something. I'm single, and no one will be suspicious. Shopkeepers are famous for being talkative. It's normal to ask for some news. If you send someone to follow up Protecting from the back makes it easier for people to find out."

Su Mingxi also smiled and said: "Brother Nan is right, I have left a few servants behind, and I am keeping a close eye on the tolerance here, just because I am afraid that they will go back and report the letter, so they will have to stay for more than ten days It's in Xiaowang Village, so people from other villages won't recognize Brother Nan, what does the girl think?"

Zhong Nan thought to himself that I can decide on this matter, little prince, why do you keep asking Sister Ruan?Their women are all afraid of wolves and tigers.Of course, I only dare to slander him in my heart, if Ruan Yunsi hears this, I'm afraid she will chase him with a kang broom.

Seeing Zhong Nan's eagerness to try, Ruan Yunsi had nothing to say.At that moment, Su Mingxi ordered someone to go back to the city immediately to buy a salesman's burden. The poor servant who was sent out only ate a few slices of baked sweet potato chips and fried squid rings, and he was still smacking the taste. He was on the way Blown by the cold wind.

Here, Ruan Yunsi saw that the eggplant was stewed, so she invited everyone to eat. No need to ask, the group of people gobbled up the food, and naturally ate up the food.Sweeping Books and Ming Yan have gotten to know Ruan Yunsi a lot now, so they squeezed over to accompany her with a smile and said, "Miss, this food is really delicious, even the chefs in Zuixianlou in the capital may not have this kind of skill."

Before she finished speaking, Ruan Yunsi couldn't help laughing, she shook her head and said, "Don't flatter me, you two, can I compete with others with my little craftsmanship? Not to mention anything else, but those dishes with a variety of dishes, I will never I’m not competent. It’s just home-cooked meals, stewed chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried side dishes, etc., it’s just to pass the time.”

But Su Mingxi also came over, and said seriously: "They are right. In fact, delicious dishes are not superior to tricks. Don't girls know the truth of returning to the basics? The more home-cooked dishes, the more they can highlight the craftsmanship. I also count I have eaten at the girl's place a few times, and your cooking skills are indeed very good. That's right, how did you make the fried squid rings at noon? I have never eaten it before."

So Ruan Yunsi briefly explained how to make fried squid rings, which is actually very simple. Here, Su Mingxi asked some other things, leaving Ruan Yunsi very speechless, thinking that I did not sign up for a cooking training class with my mother back then What a mistake, otherwise, if you open a restaurant, you will probably be able to make money. Opening a restaurant is much easier than dyeing and weaving.

This is of course a joke. Ruan Yunsi really loves the dyeing and weaving industry. Now that she has the opportunity to show her strength, how could she be buried?Because there was still food to be sold in the afternoon, Su Mingxi and his family still went to the scene. In the evening, the servant who was sent out bought a pair of shopkeepers' burdens and came back. Within a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen guards under Su Mingxi Also rushed over.

Fortunately, Ruan Yunsi had already steamed two pots of steamed buns in the afternoon, and she had to stew a few pots of vegetables in the evening.She unexpectedly became a post here unintentionally.But cooking two meals can exchange several thousand catties of charcoal, which is naturally a very cost-effective deal.

Because more than a dozen fish were stewed, there was not much stock in the ice cellar.Su Mingxi felt a little puzzled this time, wondering how could there be seafood here?It tastes very fresh. Such things should not be sold in the village, even in the city, there are not many of them. Could it be that the officials who paid tribute to the palace secretly poured out a basket or two for sale?That's all, this kind of thing has happened since ancient times, so don't worry about it, now we should investigate the matter of grain requisition first, and try to rescue Mr. Qian.

Now that everyone in the village knows Su Mingxi's identity, he no longer has to stay at Ruan Yunsi's house at night.How could a shrewd person like Landlord Cheng let go of this chance to curry favor?So he tried his best to invite, but was rejected by Su Mingxi.Only guards were sent to guard those errands. He and Zhong Nansao went to Yunniang's house to rest, while the others stayed overnight at other villagers' houses.

Early the next morning, Zhong Nan set off with a salesman on his back.Su Mingxi also wanted to rush back to the capital, so here Ruan Yunsi said to Yun Niang: "Brother Nan doesn't talk much on weekdays, I really don't know if he can be up to the role of a shopkeeper, if he reveals his secrets, it will be bad .”

Yunniang smiled and said: "Don't worry, that kid doesn't dare to be naughty in front of you, otherwise when his mother was still there in the past, he was so talkative and could coax people." After finishing speaking, Zhong Xiu also chimed in: "Yeah, my brother is very good at talking, that is, with sister Ruan, he said to do more work and talk less, but now sister has not noticed? He talks more and more every day."

While talking, the three of them pushed the remaining food to the east of the village to sell.This will be the case for the next few days, so there is no need to say more.

Let's talk about Zhong Nan, pretending to be a shopkeeper, he traveled all over the suburbs of Beijing for hundreds of miles, and got a lot of news.Seeing that there are not many things in the burden, it would be a shame to wander around like this.He reckoned that the information he had so far was enough, so he came to the Duke's mansion that evening.

He didn't dare to go to the main entrance, but asked how to get to the back door of the Duke's Mansion. When he came to the back street of the Duke's Mansion, it was not yet noon. Zhong Nan thought that Su Mingxi might not come back now, so it would be better to stay here Waiting on the street, so I squatted down at the base of the wall.

But he saw the two servants guarding the corner gate coming over, looked him up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, this is the Duke's Mansion, what are you doing here? Do not rest."

Zhong Nan had no choice but to stand up, Qiqi Ai said: "I... I'm looking for the young master, there is... something, you two just say that my name is Zhong Nan, and the name of the book next to the young master Yan must know."

The two servants glanced at each other, both felt very strange, secretly thought that this young man had a serious tone, and he actually wanted to find the young master, but they were on errands in the Duke's mansion, so they must not use their power to bully others.Because they looked at each other, they decided to go inside and report.

After a while, I saw Sao Shu coming out of the corner door, pulling Zhong Nan in, and said with a smile: "Our master counted that you have a letter in the past few days, but I didn't expect you to come in person. I was thinking that you would probably Go home first, and then find someone to come over and let you know."

Zhong Nanhan smiled and said: "How dare I put up such a big lineup? You even told the little eunuch to see me, Brother Sweeping Book, don't I look like I don't have any self-knowledge?"

Sweeping the book in one sentence couldn't help laughing, and then leaned close to Zhong Nan's ear and whispered: "I wish you could play a score, otherwise how could I have the opportunity to go to Miss Ruan's house all the time? You don't know... ..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a large group of female relatives approaching from the opposite side, his face changed color in fright, and he quickly whispered: "Just wait and see me like me, don't say a word, especially don't talk about Miss Ruan ,Understand?"

　Today, Xiao Nannan, who is beating the drum of the shopkeeper, is sent to the stage to ask for monthly tickets, ouch! From 29th to January [-]th, the monthly ticket is doubled. Please give us your support!Benjiu hasn't made it past the top three on the monthly ticket list yet, this time I want to make it, and I'll go up.
