The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 279 Defending the City (3)

285
At this time, Master Guo Er couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Mi Congcong pretended to be a man to the bone, and his demeanor was not even comparable to those old men!

Without looking at the faces of the people, Mi Congcong said slowly again: "Master Pan, this donation of food and money is for the people of Feiyu County, I think it's best to find two people to register the property donated by the masters, and then post it on Above the city wall, so that the people in the city can appreciate the kindness of the masters."

Mi Congcong's words once again attracted everyone's angry eyes, this woman is trying to force them!
"That's a good idea!" Pan Shi's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "However, I think it's better to leave this matter to the county magistrate and master master."

This matter has come to the county magistrate and the chief secretary, do these people have the nerve to donate only three to five hundred catties of glutinous rice?
Everyone knew that Pan Shi was related to the head of the county government. Hearing Pan Shi's words, the last trace of luck in their hearts was shattered.

To announce the donated property, these properties have to go through the government, how dare they shirk it?
Feiyu County is in trouble. They are a big family in the city. If the people know that they only donate so much, they will be drowned by the spit of the people, not to mention the pressure from the government. Established a foothold in Feiyu County.

Of course, if the rebels really came, they didn't plan to stay in Feiyu County anymore, so they didn't want to donate more property this time.

Mi Congcong completed the task, regardless of the resentful eyes of everyone who wanted to expose her, he told everyone with a smile to leave Pan's mansion individually. As for the matter of medicinal materials, she had asked Pan Shi to tell Pan Shi.

As soon as Mi Congcong left, Master Guo Er took the lead and said, "Master Pan, there is not much glutinous rice left on our farm, so I will donate another 3000 taels of silver!"

Master Guo Er was telling the truth. The glutinous rice on their farm had been sold long ago, and he donated all the glutinous rice he could donate just now.

As soon as Master Guo Er spoke, everyone stared at him.

Is Guo Er crazy?

"Okay!" Pan Shi patted the table happily: "Master Guo Er is more refreshing!"

"Second, are you alright?" Elder Guo, who was sitting next to Master Guo Er, had an ugly expression on his face, and lowered his voice angrily, "Do you have a lot of money?"

The rebels were about to call, this idiot left Feiyu County without leaving any money, and actually donated so much in one go!
"Brother," Master Guo Er said with a wry smile, "It's not that you don't know that Hong'er has a good relationship with Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Lou, and they also took Hong'er to do business. Er earns a lot, but for Hong Er's sake, I also have to give Grandma Lou this face, don't you think so?"

Because Guo Hongyuan has grown up, the relationship between Mr. Guo Er and Mrs. Guo is getting more and more harmonious now. Mrs. Guo also properly let Mr. Guo Er know something, let him know that her son is not worthless, but just not with the right person.

Seeing the progress of the eldest son, no matter how much he earns or how little he earns, Master Guo Er is happy and grateful to Mi Congcong from the bottom of his heart.

However, in front of Master Guo, Master Guo Er still has reservations.

If Mr. Guo Er started this, everyone would have to bleed even if they were unwilling.

When Mi Congcong returned to Huafu Street and saw that Lou Chenxiao hadn't come back, he quickly changed his clothes and went into the kitchen.

When Lou Chenxiao came back, it was already the beginning of Xu Shi. Seeing that Mi Congcong was still waiting for him, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why don't you eat first?"

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Mi Congcong asked Yunhui to get hot food, and asked, "What's the situation at the city gate?"

"Starting tomorrow, some people will be responsible for strengthening the city wall, and some will prepare stones and wood, and we will reschedule in two days." Lou Chenxiao said while washing his face.

"What about you, what are you in charge of?" Mi Congcong asked.

Seeing her worried eyes, Lou Chenxiao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly winked at her: "Guess!"

Mi Congcong sized him up from head to toe: "A young master like you, I guess they wouldn't let you build a fire and carry water to cook rice soup."

In the eyes of outsiders, this guy is just an idler, and it would be good if he doesn't help. If she had to guess, they shouldn't dare to arrange things for him, right?

"Daughter-in-law, is it not good for you to underestimate your man?" Lou Chenxiao looked depressed.

Do you want to guess so accurately?

Wen Tiancheng probably knew that he had entourages by his side, and originally wanted him to be in charge of the two carts of timber, but was stopped by the chief bookkeeper later, and Duan Kui knew that he had his own things to do, so he also helped persuade Wen Tiancheng, so he Really not responsible for anything.

Seeing his resentful look, Mi Congcong suppressed a smile and said, "Since you don't have to take responsibility, then help me prepare the medicinal materials."

It's fine if he doesn't go to the city gate, so she can feel more at ease.

Lou Chenxiao glanced at her: "Aren't you going?"

Mi Congcong raised his eyes and met his gaze: "I'll leave as soon as you leave!"

The two just looked at each other like this, and in the end it was Lou Chenxiao who was defeated first.

"Then let's stay." He smiled helplessly. Once this girl decides, it's not something he can control.

Mi Congcong rolled his phoenix eyes, and said seriously: "You just watch it, not only will I not hold you back, maybe I can help you."

Lou Chenxiao lowered his head and bit her lips dissatisfied: "Little heartless, am I worried that you will slow down? I am worried that you are in danger!"

"I know, so compare my heart to my heart, do you think I can go to Taizhou alone with peace of mind?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

Looking at her, Lou Chenxiao's heart softened, and he wrapped her not-so-delicate little hand in his palm and held it tightly, but didn't say another word.

Although the government didn't arrange anything for Lou Chenxiao, Lou Chenxiao didn't go to the clinic with Mi Congcong, but went into the study as soon as he finished his breakfast.

Mi Congcong didn't ask him what he was doing, anyway, she knew that no matter what he did, it was for the people of Feiyu County, so she took Xiuxin, who had just rushed back from the capital, to the clinic.

The city gate was very busy, and the people calmed down from the panic when they just learned that the rebels were coming, and they all went to the city gate to help.

A few large pots were set up under the city wall, and a dozen women were busy boiling rice milk, while young and strong men were responsible for lifting the boiled rice milk to the city wall and pouring it from top to bottom, thereby strengthening the city wall. The other end was piled with stones, some of which had been moved to the wall, ready to fight back against the rebels.

Lou Chenxiao nestled in the study for two days, Mi Congcong just asked Yunhui to bring the food in on time, and didn't bother him.

Two days later, Lou Chenxiao took two pieces of paper and quietly approached Duan Kui.

Duan Kui was a little excited looking at the things drawn on the paper: "Whether I can resist the rebels or not, I will thank Young Master Lou on behalf of the people of Feiyu County."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find a craftsman!" Lou Chenxiao said impatiently, he didn't like to hear such dejected words.
