Chapter 492
Hongxue jumped into the courtyard. At this time, everyone in the house was already sound asleep. She searched around the eaves and saw a servant in the storehouse holding hands back and forth. He took off the tiles and jumped in. The grain depot was full of grain, and there was a basement. Hongxue took it all away without being polite at all.

Looking at it, it was almost dawn, and Hongxue had robbed enough money, so she returned home. She had to tidy up, and was going to go outside the city to see the situation. To be on the safe side, she decided to set off with the caravan transporting grain and grass.

Hongxue went back to the room, changed into a dress, half-lyed on the bed, and put a big pillow behind her. There was no shortage of food and grass in this battle, but she was furious at the news that Qingmei reported yesterday. Food, even if it is not supplied to the army, can be sold to the people at a low price.

It is estimated that these people will cry for their father and mother in the morning, and run to the government office to complain.

Thinking of this, Hongxue couldn't help showing a smile on her face, she just kept her eyes open until dawn, another sunny day.

Qing Xing got up early and came to serve Hongxue, she sat in front of the dressing table and asked Qing Xing to help her dress up.

Qing Mei also came back from outside the residence, she looked tired, it seemed that she didn't sleep well yesterday.

"Miss, when the servants came back, they passed by the government office. Someone was beating drums to complain. I heard that rice thieves appeared in Pingning, and they emptied their warehouse overnight, crying at the door of the government office." Qingmei poured a cup of tea to refresh herself , There are probably four or five of those people, blocking the gate of the yamen, and they have to jointly issue an announcement that anyone who provides accurate clues will be rewarded with 3000 taels of silver. We must catch the rice thief who killed a thousand dollars.

"Really, we have to take good care of the warehouse in our house." Hongxue said with a nonchalant face, those people deserved it, who told them to want to make black money!
After hastily eating breakfast, Hongxue wanted Qingxing to find a caravan to transport the grain out of the city, and then thought that there were 3 vanguards fighting the enemy ahead, and the grain he looted would be put away. In ordinary people's homes, it can be eaten for decades, but it can be placed on the front line, which is not enough for an army to stuff their teeth.

Forget it, let's find a grain store and try to solve the problem of driving up grain prices this time.

After thinking about it, he asked Lan Rui to go to find Lan Rui in person to solve the matter. In order not to cause any trouble, he asked them to limit the purchase of grain when they sold grain.

In the morning, someone was beating drums in the government office, saying that their family had lost grain, and the people were not as panicked as before. There were only a few people at the gate of the grain shop. Hongxue asked the driver to inquire about the price. It was the same as yesterday, so she let it go. Heart.

"Miss, Miss Xie Xiaoying, the prefect's daughter, is here to visit." Ma Xuan had just returned to the small courtyard, and Qing Xing, who was staying at home, said with an unhappy face: "Why does this lady from the prefect's family not understand the most basic rules and etiquette?" ? Didn’t say hello before coming here, thinking we are her backyard?”

"How does she know that I live here?" Hongxue asked with a serious face, did she even know her own identity?

"This servant doesn't know either." Qing Xing thought of a certain possibility, and her face darkened, but Qing Mei who was next to her said, "Master Xie found out about it."

Hongxue nodded after listening, then turned to look at Qingxing and asked, "Have you left yet?"

Ordinary people who come to visit will leave the mansion when they know that the master is not there, and there are very few people who refuse to leave unless there is something urgent.

"Well, I'm drinking tea in your side hall. The servant has hinted to let her go several times, but she just pretended not to understand." Qing Xing said with a pursed lips, Xie Xiaoying's actions once again refreshed her view of concubine girls.Generally, those who come uninvited think that their status is higher than that of the other party.

But what is the identity of my wife, the majestic lady who protects the country, how can she be compared with a magistrate and concubine, although the other party does not know the real identity of the wife, she is also related to the regent palace, as the saying goes, the third-rank official in front of the prime minister, the prince She is a super grade, even if she is only a member of the family, she is many times higher than her concubine daughter, she is really embarrassed.

"En." Hongxue nodded, walking in a hurry. She had a lot of things to do and didn't have much time to spend with Xie Xiaoying. After entering the side hall, she nodded slightly and said apologetically, "Second Miss Xie, I'm sorry, I'm going out of town this afternoon, so I can't chat with you, please go back."

For this kind of brazen person, hints are useless at all, only if you say it so bluntly, the other party can't ignore it. Now she doesn't want to find out how this Xie Xiaoying knows she lives here.

"Ma'am, are you going to the battlefield?" Xie Xiaoying's eyes lit up when she heard that. Recently, her aunt returned to her hometown, and she also said to follow. Yesterday, she found out Hongxue's address from Zhifu Xie, and the two of them formulated a strategy. That's why she came here in the morning with the cheek, and didn't even attend the piano class.

"Yes." Hongxue nodded, smiled apologetically at Xie Xiaoying and said, "My husband sent someone to post, he is used to eating dim sum made by me, I thought of making it here and taking it over there instead of making it over there Fresh."

"It's just right, I brought some snacks, why not give them to General Pengfei." Xie Xiaoying pointed to the food box in front of her, and said firmly, "I specially bought some, it will definitely satisfy the general's appetite."

Hongxue opened the box of dim sum. It was the same varieties as yesterday. Today, she added two more types of shortbread, each about the size of a chess piece, round and cute. Xie Xiaoying introduced that it contained mung bean paste, which was sweet but not greasy.

"That's right, then I'll take it with me." Hongxue nodded to Xie Xiaoying and said, "I will tell His Royal Highness Shemei Wang if I have a chance, and I will be happy to learn that there are soldiers who care about defending the territory. It's just that the soldiers on the border are all I can’t afford meat, alas, I’m short of money.”

"Is that so?" When Xie Xiaoying heard this, she immediately saw an opportunity to make meritorious service. She immediately took the bait and was eager to express herself: "Then how can I help those soldiers?"

"You know, I'm from the capital." Hongxue lowered her eyes, took a sip of her tea, and continued to fool around: "In the capital, I have a few good sisters who organized a fundraising event, and the money I got in exchange was given to the soldiers. Family members send food, so that they have no worries."

"So, as long as we donate money." Xie Xiaoying nodded, thinking that this was a good opportunity for the regent Wang Gao to remember her.

"Well, yes, it's just that I don't have any familiar sisters in Jingyang." Hongxue looked embarrassed, twisting her handkerchief, almost laughing in her heart, Xie Xiaoying, an idiot who thinks she's smart, has a wife in the capital. Duo, if she was with those young ladies, her little thoughtfulness would not be enough. Since it was delivered to her door, it would be a big loss if she didn't peel off the skin.
