Chapter 640
As soon as Xiao'er's carriage entered the city, they saw Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu waiting nearby.

Several people greeted each other a few words, and the two brothers led them to the mansion.

On the busiest street in the city, Shen Jingwen was setting up a stall in a corner to help people write letters. At this time, several exquisitely carved but unpretentious carriages passed by, which made him look more unconsciously.

He has been setting up a stall in the county town for a while, and the horse-drawn carriages that come and go in the city every day are almost the same. These horse-drawn carriages should come from other places, and the family must be very dignified. With this kind of carriage.

Suddenly he saw Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu accompanying the front carriage, he quickly lowered his head, but was a little shocked in his heart: Could it be that they came back?
It's no wonder that Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu would come to the gate of the city every day for the past two days, so it was to welcome the family of Sanfang.

Shen Jingwen couldn't help but raised his head slightly again, wanting to prove the conjecture in his heart. At this time, the curtain of the carriage window was lifted, and he saw a face that seemed familiar but felt extremely strange. It was they who came back, thinking that they would never come back after abandoning their ancestors!
Seeing Xiao'er looking in his direction, Shen Jingwen turned his body slightly, opened the folding fan, and covered his face.

After several carriages passed by, Shen Jingwen took away the folding fan and looked over.

Looking at the carriages and the people who looked like guards on both sides, he couldn't hide the envy and jealousy in his eyes.

At this moment, an old lady came over to ask him to write a letter. Shen Jingwen came back to his senses and waved his hand: "Auntie, I don't have time today, I have to close the stall, you can find a second one!"

After Shen Jingwen said this, he quickly cleaned up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and ran towards the city gate.

The aunt mumbled, "I haven't seen anyone push the business out yet!"

Shen Jingwen couldn't care less about earning the money, so he had to go home quickly.

Xiao'er in the carriage lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around. After leaving for a few years, the streets of the county town have not changed much. Several old and famous shops are still there, but some small shops have changed, but this is also very important. As a normal thing, only some well-known brands can stand the test of time.

Xiao'er's eyes skipped over a stall that wrote letters for others, and she stayed there for a second before turning her eyes away.

The carriage soon stopped in front of a four-way mansion, which was newly built by the Liu family in the county the year before last.

Liu Zhiwen dismounted quickly, and said to the porter, "Quickly open the gate, aunt and young master Biao are back!"

As soon as Xiao'er and the others entered the city, Liu Zhiwen sent the boy back to report.

Tan Shi and Liu Minhong had been waiting here for a long time, Tan Shi heard her son's voice and hurriedly said: "Quickly, open the gate quickly and let the carriage of the sister-in-law's family drive directly into the second gate."

"Zhiwen, let your aunt's family not get out of the carriage. It's cold and the north wind is blowing. Don't freeze my little cousin." Liu Minhong also said.

After all, he came to someone else's house as a guest, Xiao'er told Liu Shi not to get out of the carriage, Xiao Jingzhe is really young, it's freezing cold, don't freeze.

The four siblings got off the carriage and saluted Liu Minhong and Tan Shi.

Mrs. Liu confessed to her eldest brother and sister-in-law in the carriage: "I'm sorry, brother and sister-in-law, I won't get out of the carriage. When Jing Zhe grows up, I will definitely bring him here to kowtow to you."

"Look at what you said, there's nothing to be sorry about, if you dare to get off the carriage, I'll drive you out immediately!" Mrs. Tan blamed and feigned anger, but Xiao'er and her brothers and sisters still have the same attitude towards their family even though they are rich , which made her feel very comforted.

Everyone laughed when they heard Tan's words.

"Go ahead, grandpa and mother are waiting impatiently!" Liu Minhong said.

When the family walked in, it was inevitable to greet and exchange greetings when meeting relatives.

After the two families had dinner, Xiao'er's family went back to the guest house arranged by Mrs. Tan, washed up and went to bed.

Because the next day is Liu Lin's birthday, Xiao'er's family is not in a hurry to return to the village. They will stay at Liu's natal family for the night, and return to the village after the birthday. Anyway, they will return to the imperial capital after the Chinese New Year. , with a lot of time.

At night, Xiao'er didn't go to sleep, she sat at the table and took out the letter paper while writing a letter to Shangguan Xuanyi while waiting for Zhao Yong to come back.

Now the imperial court is at war with Li Jun, and General Li has money but no food and grass. If Li Jun is in the form of a caravan, it is not impossible to transport grain and grass to the northwest.

The bumper harvests of the past two years have made many counties and towns no longer lack of food, the price of food is low, the people are not short of food, and there are fewer people buying, which has caused the income of the grain merchants to drop significantly. The grain merchants thought of going to the northwest and west. Sell ​​grain in Yuecheng and other areas.

Because the entire Min Ze Kingdom is the most food-deficient in the northwestern region, the emperor supports this matter by learning from each other's strengths.

But today is different. Now the sale of grain to the Northwest is strictly controlled. Otherwise, if you accidentally sell the grain to the enemy, it will really fuel the enemy's arrogance.

Originally, because the official roads have toll checkpoints, it is very easy to find out what is wrong with the caravan.

But in a place far away from Emperor Shangao, the supervision is not strict, and someone accepts bribes and turns a blind eye to release the enemy's grain team in order to seek their own interests. It is also difficult to be discovered...

Xiao'er waited until midnight.

Yang Liu brought Zhao Yong in, and Xiao'er signaled Yang Mei to pour Zhao Yong a cup of hot tea and let him talk after drinking the tea.

Zhao Yong took the tea, drank it quickly, and said, "There is indeed something wrong with the convoy, and my subordinates followed the convoy all the way. After they settled down at the inn, they checked the contents of the carriage at night and found that the food Below are some medicinal materials to stop bleeding and heal wounds! The subordinates also heard them discuss that several convoys have already set off, and they can earn a lot of money by taking such a trip."

Xiao'er thought of the weapons privately made by Li Mingjun, and Dagen transported them away in the same way: "This matter cannot be delayed, you should write to Brother Shangguan as soon as possible, let him make arrangements, and don't let the enemy succeed. In addition, you Also secretly check to find out which merchants are buying medicinal materials, cotton and other military supplies in large quantities, and tell Brother Shangguan as soon as possible." As long as the enemy's military supplies are cut off, then half of the battle will be won .

Shangguan Xuanyi, Di Shaowei and tens of thousands of soldiers will not be able to celebrate the New Year at home.

Zhao Yong nodded, this matter is very important, Zhao Yong naturally knows the seriousness.

"Go down, take a good rest, if you are too busy, let Feng Yang help you."

Zhao Yong nodded, then backed away.

Xiao'er just went back to bed to sleep at this time, and not long after she fell asleep, it was dawn.
