Chapter 101 A Big Game
Wenxiu's tears were still pattering down, hitting the ground with withered grass.

The white snow has just fallen, and the wild fairy pavilion has not yet been covered with snow, and the tears fell on the withered grass and disappeared.

Wenxiu choked up in a low voice,

"When my family was in Nanjun, although it was not rich, it was also a scholarly family. My father was clear and bright, and he was well-read. My mother was born in Zhihu, and her family background was clean. For several generations, there has never been a woman who has been licentious and corrupted the lintel. .”

He paused again to adjust his mood,
"When the yamen guards broke into my house to arrest someone, we didn't even know what crime we had committed. We were dispatched to Zhishou County. After many inquiries, it turned out that an uncle in the family who had never seen him acted carelessly and went with the crown prince by mistake. The chief was doing some miscellaneous things, and the crown prince fell, so three generations of my family were demoted to slaves and sent here."

After Wenxiu finished speaking, she held the hot tea in both hands, raised the cup of hot tea to her forehead, wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, and continued to cry with her stomach straight:

"Jiaoniang, we used to be innocent girls from a good family. We also had a beautiful vision of being a concubine. We could have a husband and a child, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The weather in Nanjun is smooth and the crops are plentiful, but we have never I thought about bells and lanterns, and I only wish to guard the three acres of land at home, with children and grandchildren around my knees, and live a stable life, and walk through this life clean and straight."

This mournful cry overwhelmed the lively and festive joy coming from the Qi family's house behind Sheng Jiaojiao.

She sat quietly in the Wild Immortal Pavilion, waiting for Wenxiu's emotions to subside.

Then, Sheng Jiaojiao opened her mouth after thinking about it,
"That being the case, I understand, but I have always believed that it is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him a fish. If I do something to harm someone, I will cut the grass and root out the root to prevent future trouble. If I help someone, I will send the Buddha to the west, and he will ascend in one step. It's muddled, do you understand?"

Wenxiu didn't quite understand, but she vaguely saw some hope and nodded hastily.

So Sheng Jiaojiao said again:

"In this way, your two elder sisters go to do something for me, and I redeem them for them. During this period, you will collect their slave registration and household capital, so that they will not be treated as homeless ghosts again. I was caught by someone, and now with the money of the three of you, it is not a problem to rent a place in Jishang. They have done the work for me, you settle your natal family in, and from now on, hide in it to make a living, and then Don't come out."

Wenxiu's eyes lit up immediately, hope was ignited in her heart, and she asked directly:
"What did Jiao Niang ask my two older sisters to do?"

Holding the teacup, Sheng Jiaojiao pondered for a moment, and said:
"There are many shopkeepers in the military dormitory?"

Many shopkeepers who travel far and wide like to sleep in Hualiu Lane. One is because they are wandering all over the world and have no home. The other is that fireworks women love to be pretty. The rouge and gouache here are easy to sell. There are all kinds of teachings and nine streams, and the news is even more well-informed.

Although shopkeepers have a distribution center, they often inquire about news in this kind of place, spot business opportunities, and get ready to go.

Sheng Jiaojiao asked Wenxiu's two elder sisters to spread the news in the military dormitory. This year, due to the war and the deposed prince's participation in the Tiaoma Lake fair, the price of food in Tiaoma Lake will rise to sky-high prices.

She wants the salesmen to stockpile a large amount of grain and transport it to Jumping Horse Lake for sale.

"this, this"

Wenxiu couldn't understand what Sheng Jiaojiao was going to do, but Sheng Jiaojiao said that as long as her two elder sisters could spread the news to the entire military base, she would ask her mother to release him.

Sheng Jiaojiao's eldest brother is Qi Zhang, who is now the battalion commander of the West Camp, and her future husband is Tan Ji, the battalion commander of the East Camp, this is already the biggest person Wenxiu can get.

Apart from Sheng Jiaojiao, Wenxiu couldn't find anyone to help her two elder sisters.

She immediately wiped away her tears, nodded,

"I'll let my elder sister do it, and I will definitely handle this matter well, don't worry, Jiao Niang."

"Go, take care of the child, don't be too tired."

Sheng Jiaojiao waved her hand and let Wenxiu go to work.

After Wenxiu left, she could finally drink tea with peace of mind, and found a book in the box, and when she was about to read it, she felt a dark side, and a figure entered the pavilion.

"Why are you back?"

Sheng Jiaojiao's face finally showed some impatience, she hated others coming and going, not finishing the conversation all at once.

Even if she looked sideways, she saw Tan Ji standing beside her, tall and mighty, and after not seeing her for a few days, the murderous aura on her body became much stronger.

She was nervous for a while, and she didn't know how much Tan Ji had listened to what she and Wenxiu said just now, so she hurriedly closed the book, stood up, looked at Tan Ji, and asked:
"How did Jilang come?"

Hearing the sound of "Jilang", Tan Ji's spine was half brittle. He braced himself up and sat on the tree stump opposite Sheng Jiaojiao, frowning and asked:

"You want to bring down the price of food in Jumping Horse Lake?"

At first, she asked the third master of the Qi family to send him a message to sell the fur goods to Chaozong. She knew that the fur goods seized by Qi Zhang and Tan Ji were not enough, but she still sold them to Chaozong. Large sum of money in hand.

Chao Zong was just a servant of the abandoned prince. Although he used the name of the abandoned prince to collect leather goods, the money in his hand was raised from several peddlers who often wandered in the north of the county. .

Dragging his fur goods will inevitably make the money in the hands of the salesmen stretched.

What Chao Sect did was not hidden, and it would be known once the matter was investigated.

But Tan Ji and Qi Zhang didn't care who was receiving the fur goods, they just wanted money to pay them pensions, and it didn't matter whether the person receiving the fur goods was a prince, a shopkeeper, or even a big fur dealer.

The money is in place.

Therefore, Tan Ji and Qi Zhang didn't quite understand Sheng Jiaojiao's approach, but they followed suit. Both of them signed a large leather goods order with Chaozong.

After hearing this again this time, Tan Ji was not stupid and ignorant, he quickly understood what Sheng Jiaojiao was planning.

This girl has set up a big game
She wanted to trap all the shopkeepers in the north of the county into a trap.

After all, leather goods are not cheap. Tan Ji and Qi Zhang knew exactly how much money they had received from Chaozong. One or two peddlers would never be able to afford such a large amount of money. Someone sells a large number of leather goods, and naturally they move in full force.

Their money was tied in the hands of Tan Ji and Qi Zhang, but the leather goods were still unable to be paid for. This side was secretly instigated by Sheng Jiaojiao, who heard the news and went to stockpile grain. Now, it is the time when food prices are the highest.

Sheng Jiaojiao made another move, emptying out the cheap food that he had collected before.

Tan Ji and Qi Zhang have been slow to clear fur goods, and the salesmen are struggling with a large amount of food. If the leather goods are not available, the next family is urging them to ask for them. After winter, the price of fur goods will drop. In spring, new grain becomes old food, and the price It's going to fall a lot.

If it is transported to other counties to sell grain, how can those rich counties full of Rang Rang want last year's old grain?
The old grain was with them, and it was all for the animals to eat.

In this way, the more food in hand, the more flustered the small businessmen will be. As long as they don't lose money, they will naturally let the food out as soon as possible.

Where do you care about high prices and low prices?

Sheng Jiaojiao Shi Shiran sat down, took out a new earthenware cup, poured a cup of hot tea for Tan Ji, smiled lightly, and said:
"Ji Lang is busy with his work, so he doesn't need to care about these bad things, just concentrate on fighting."

"It's not a bad thing."

Tan Ji's black eyes stared at Sheng Jiaojiao, his long fingers lightly touched the teacup, his voice became a little tight,

"Jiao Niang, do you know how many people can be saved with cheap food in midwinter?"

In the white snow facing the sky, Sheng Jiaojiao chuckled lightly, her face extremely indifferent,

"I'm just making a little money. It's good to save a few people."

She is used to tricking the clouds and tricks. Since she wants to make money, she will naturally manage people's hearts with her heart to maximize her benefits. The winner is the best in the situation. If she can't, it means her methods are not as good as before, and she should be ashamed.

However, she didn't want to teach Tan Ji to know these things.

As long as Tan Ji understands that she is a very gentle, kind, and beautiful person, she will never take other people's pain to threaten other bad people who do things.

If Tan Ji gets it wrong, Sheng Jiaojiao can reshape her character.

If she wanted to, of course she could.

Sheng Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and thought about what Tan Ji had heard just now, and how she could make herself true, kind and beautiful again.

But I heard Tan Ji ask:
"Are you short of money?"

"what?"

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyes and looked at Tan Ji with astonishment.

Tan Ji's eyes are very dark, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao's expression, as if she is the only color in all things in the world, he said very intently:

"After these few battles, I still have some gold, silver and jewelry in my hand. I can exchange for some thin silver. I will help you."

Since it is to fight the price of food, the more capital, the more secure.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao froze into a jade-like beauty, Tan Ji drank tea with his eyes lowered, his eyelashes slightly fanned, the threads of love in his heart became more and more entangled, just like this, the more entangled, the more chaotic.

Tan Ji simply put down his teacup, couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and looked down at Sheng Jiaojiao, and said again:

"I will ask Zheng Ling to send all these gold, silver and jewels over tomorrow."

After speaking, I will leave.

The girl on the opposite side raised her face, her face was like a fairy princess from the palace, her body was covered with fine snow.

Her red lips were slightly parted, and her blank expression suddenly became serious again. Looking at Tan Ji, she asked:
"Jalang isn't afraid of me losing?"

He is not afraid, he helped her when she wanted to do things in her previous life, she was ups and downs in the power vortex of Daze, how many times she was in danger, how many times if she fell down, Tan Ji would be doomed.

But he still followed her steadfastly, and never wavered in his position because of her losing power and gaining power.

Unfortunately, in the end, they lost.

She was drowned in the lotus pond. How could Tan Ji, who was in the sky prison, escape unscathed?

The gears of fate turned again, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Tan Ji with eyes, as if she had traveled through the past and present.

She looked at Tan Ji's resolute and handsome face, as if she had seen all kinds of things in her previous life. For a moment, Sheng Jiaojiao seemed to have found Tan Ji from her previous life.

He has never repented, he has always stood behind her, like a rock, and she will be both prosperous and hurt.

Tan Ji, who was wearing half a piece of light armor, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao steadfastly, and he suddenly laughed, like a ray of warm light shining through a rugged and steep rocky mountain, with a bloodthirsty madness in his eyes, he said:

"If you lose, you lose. If you lose, I will send troops to force those peddlers to sell grain at a lower price."

Although this method is very bloody, since Sheng Jiaojiao wants to raise the price of food and Tan Ji has taken part in it, there is no room for loss in this matter.

Thin silver is really thin silver.

But this is the best strategy, it's only for Huairou, and it's best to use gentle means to kill the enemy, so Sheng Jiaojiao went to work first.

If she loses, Tan Ji will go up again, even if he kills a few shopkeepers to frighten her, it will be fine.

Can't?Just kill some more.

Midwinter cheap food must appear in Jumping Horse Lake this year!
Sheng Jiaojiao took a deep breath, she got up, and stood in front of him, leaning forward, her eyes downcast,
"General righteousness."

Tan Ji's eyebrows were slightly raised, but she didn't hide her expectations for him at all, and she always firmly believed that he would be a general.

He bent down and bowed his hands in return.

Sheng Jiaojiao subconsciously stretched out her hand, raised her hand to support Tan Ji's wrist, her fingers lightly pressed against his black iron wristband, her fingertips were cold, but her heart felt ironed.

A while later, in the wind and snow, Sheng Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that her involuntary behavior was very frivolous, so she hurriedly let go.

As soon as Tan Ji moved his hand, he instinctively wanted to catch her hand with his backhand, but he stopped, and stood still in place restrained.

"Jiao Niang, I'm leaving first."

His body moved, and the man who didn't even frown in the face of the enemy, his ears were red at the moment.

After finishing his words, he turned around and left, walking from the Wild Immortal Pavilion into the falling snow.

Standing behind him, Sheng Jiaojiao originally wanted to call him "Ji Lang walk slowly", but felt that after Tan Ji's words just now, her address was a bit flirtatious and inappropriate.

The snow outside the pavilion became heavier again, and soon a layer was accumulated, and the northern part of the county was covered with a vast expanse of snow.

The Qi family was lively and lively, and the corners of the yard were full of laughter and laughter. Qi Ming specially brought back two red lanterns from the fair, and hung them under the eaves of the main room, looking very festive.

At noon, the banquet opened, and the smell of bacon wafted across the fields in the cold thin snow. The Qi family set up a few tables in the front yard, but when they couldn't fit, they set up a few more tables in the back yard. People were seated, lively and joyous, everyone had a smile on their face.

Even Tan Ji, who has always been upright and serious, couldn't help but put on a smile on his face amidst the constant congratulations from his father and fellow villagers.

Compared with the Qi family, which was full of joy, the crowd gathered alone, and Chaozong went to work, and gathered in the military dormitory with the salesmen from Jumping Horse Lake, and got very drunk.

He draped around the waist of a prostitute, and after midnight in the gentle village, he got up tremblingly, took a car back to Jishang, and headed home with messy steps.

An out-of-tune tune resounded in the snow, and suddenly there was a sharp shout from under the eaves,
"Go to Nest Sect!"

The man whose belly was full of yellow soup trembled, and was mostly sober from the wine.

Chao Zong went to blink his drunken eyes, looked at the eaves, Chao Lai was full of anger there, he relaxed and said with a smile:
"Brother, what are you doing standing here? You scared me."
