There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 470

The driver of the carriage smiled and said, "Miss Li, this is Xuan Delang, the elder brother of His Royal Highness, he is here to see His Highness."

The coachman tore off his leather cap and grinned.

Li Jiaoniang recognized this person, he was indeed Zhao Gui's entourage, she was surprised, Zhao Gui came?
Zhao Gui walked out of the carriage following the curtain raised by the coachman, smiled and nodded at Li Jiaoniang, "Miss Li."

"You're being polite." Li Jiaoniang smiled, and looked back at Zhao Cong and Luo Cheng who were coming, "We went to see Zhuangzi outside the city. We stayed there for one night last night. When we came back from the journey, by coincidence, Mr. Xuande has also arrived."

Luo Cheng came over, greeted with a smile, "Xuande Lang."

Zhao Gui hurriedly returned the gift, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Luo."

Zhao Cong saw that Zhao Gui was no longer as strange and distant as before, so he smiled slightly, "Brother."

Zhao Gui stared at him blankly, the corners of his lips trembling with excitement, "Second Brother?"

"Brother, it's cold outside and the wind is strong, let's go inside and talk." Zhao Cong pointed to the gate of the medical center.

Zhao Gui was even more moved.

Who said his second brother won't be a fool all the time?
Look, this is much better, isn't it?
I know I care about him.

"Okay, go in and talk." Zhao Gui choked up with joy.

Chunya and Xiang Erbao, who were guarding the medical center, heard voices at the door and greeted them together.

Seeing that Li Jiaoniang was talking with the guests, she and Xiang Erbao didn't bother her.

Everyone went into the medical hall together, and Chunya turned to Erbao, hurriedly moved the stove, and made hot tea.

They had met Zhao Gui, who was a nobleman, Zhao Cong's brother, Xuan Delang who was conferred by the emperor himself, and received the royal salary.

Zhao Gui stretched out his hand to the stove and roasted it, the chill all over his body gradually subsided, the medical clinic was still the same medical clinic, and the people here were still so enthusiastic.

very nice.

He envied his younger brother in his heart.

Luo Cheng asked at this time, "We wrote a letter and sent it to Lin'an, did Mr. Xuande receive it?"

Zhao Gui said, "You sent an urgent letter, and I received it yesterday afternoon, and I came overnight." He smiled slightly and said gratefully, "You have worked hard for the matter of King Pu'an. "

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande is too polite. We treat him as a family member. Of course the family will help."

Luo Cheng looked worried, "However, we are currently in difficulties, and we are planning to go to a few aristocratic families in the city to ask for help."

Zhao Gui collected his expression and said sadly, "Even I feel difficult, let alone you? That decision was clearly aimed at Cong'er. Zhao Jiu's father is alive and he has family support, and our brothers..." He sank deeply With a breath, he forced a smile on his face, "But it doesn't matter, our father also left some property for us."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "With Mr. Xuande's support, let's think of a way, and the difficulties will definitely be overcome."

Zhao Gui nodded, "I will do my best to help."

Li Jiaoniang said, "How much has Mr. Xuande prepared here? We have a hundred horses, but we don't have any food. In terms of money, it's less than [-] guan."

Zhao Gui was surprised and said, "You have a hundred horses? I'm still worried. Thirty horses have been prepared in Lin'an City. I plan to buy the remaining horses in the Northland, but now the Northland is not peaceful... so It seems that I don't need to prepare horses?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Of course there is no need to prepare, not only that, there is no need to prepare personnel, we are only short of food and money at present."

Zhao Gui said, "I have prepared [-] guan, and the remaining [-] guan is still trying to figure out a way. It's just food..." He looked ashamed, "In the cold season, there is not much food in stock around. The [-] guan Shi, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Luo Cheng comforted him, "Mr. Xuande don't need to be depressed. Five thousand shi of food is not a small number. We don't have it, and the other prince may not have it. At worst, we lose this game together. We are more convenient than the other two games." yes."

Zhao Gui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "That's right, food is no more than money and things, it can be raised, if there is no food, it can only be harvested from the field, the field is not long, and you can't buy it with money! I mobilize everyone to look for food , have not been raised, Zhao Jiu must not be able to raise it!"

Zhao Cong, who was listening to everyone's discussion, suddenly said, "We don't have it, there should be one in the Golden Camp, you can get it there."

Everyone looked at him together.

Xiang Erbao and Chunya, who were listening to their conversation attentively, also looked at him together, and everyone had surprised expressions.

Li Jiaoniang asked him with a smile, "Cong'er, who told you that there is food in the Golden Camp?"

Zhao Cong said, "It's Mr. Ximen, he said it."

Zhao Gui's eyes flickered slightly, "Ximen Fei? This name is so familiar, who is he?"

"20 years ago on the city wall of Jingzhao Mansion, the one who shot and killed more than a hundred Jin soldiers is known as the sharpshooter. We invited him to teach archery in the cavalry and archery team." Li Jiaoniang said.

Zhao Gui suddenly said, "Yes, I remembered. There is such a person. When I was young, my father mentioned him. Unexpectedly, Luo Guanren and Li Niangzi invited him to be their instructor. It is really admirable."

Luo Cheng said, "It was introduced by Cheng Enbo. We didn't know him before."

Zhao Gui was surprised, "Cheng Enbo also came to Lin'ancheng?"

Li Jiaoniang said, "The Lu family married their youngest daughter, and Uncle Cheng En came to give a congratulatory gift. When we got together, he mentioned Mr. Ximen to us, so we were able to invite him."

"It turns out that's the case, so I feel more at ease. Mr. Ximen is a sharp shooter." Zhao Gui said happily, "With the help of noble people, Cong'er will definitely win the game."

Zhao Cong sighed, "I can't win, what about the food? You haven't told me whether you can get food from the Golden Camp? Mr. Ximen said that he had entered the Golden Camp back then, and there was a lot of food in the Golden Camp."

Li Jiaoniang looked at Zhao Cong and shook her head, "Cong'er, you need courage and wisdom to get in there, besides, the Golden Camp is far away from us now, even if there is food, we can't get it."

Zhao Cong's eyes were sure, "I will definitely get it! I am better than Mr. Ximen, if he can enter the gold camp to steal food, so can I."

Li Jiaoniang: "..." This silly boy used to fight across the river, and entered the Golden Camp after crossing the river. Now that there is no official battle, he has to travel hundreds of miles to get to the Golden Camp. Even if he can find food, Is it possible to ship it back?

She was worried that Zhao Cong was acting stupid again, and said, "It's winter, and they have nothing to eat, otherwise, they wouldn't always go south to grab food."

Zhao Cong frowned, "That's a pity."

Zhao Gui patted Zhao Cong on the shoulder, "Cong'er, sooner or later, we will also bring food from their barracks, but not now, now, you are not the prince yet, so you can't make the decision."

Zhao Cong nodded seriously, "I will definitely become the prince, definitely!"

.

The arrival of Zhao Gui made Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng feel at ease.

He paid [-] guan, which is equivalent to helping a lot. With only [-] guan left, it is not very difficult.

Discussing good things with Li Jiaoniang Luo Cheng, Zhao Gui said that he wanted to see Zhao Shicheng.

But he didn't know Zhao Shicheng's current residence, Luo Cheng led him there.

.

Just as the lights were being lit, Zhao Gui and Zhao Shicheng came to the clinic together, and after discussing with each other, they went out again.

But Li Jiaoniang didn't follow, Luo Cheng accompanied them.

They went to Chen Ge's hometown, Shi's house, Lu's house, Liu's house, and finally, the prefect's Chen's house.

Luo Cheng didn't go around the bush, straight to the point and told about the competition between the two princes, and the competition items.

Chen Ge was always afraid of Queen Mother Wei, but he didn't dare to offend Luo Cheng, so he agreed to support [-] guan, but they didn't have any food.

In winter, no one dared to give away all the rations. If they couldn't buy food in the next spring, they would have a miserable life.

The three of them didn't force it.

The Shi family also had five thousand guan, and also had no food.

The Liu family had no money, but they gave one hundred shi of grain.

The Lu family didn't have any money either. Tang's face immediately changed when he heard that he wanted her to support him, and kept yelling that he didn't have any.

Lu You wanted to help, but when he and Tang Wan didn't make up, he always asked Tang Wan for money, and he had no money.

What's more, he was about to get married soon, so he didn't dare to give Zhao Cong the little money left.

He ordered the housekeeper Lu Ji to take the grain collected from the farm and give them two hundred shi of grain.

They didn't have any money, but Mrs. Lu did, so without further ado, she ordered Jin Xiu to take [-] yuan.

"Our Lu family is not as good as it was back then, but for the victory of Pu'an County King, we should pay a little bit."

Along the way, the old lady belonging to the Lu family was the most generous, which moved Zhao Gui very much.

He saluted Mrs. Lu, "Mrs. Mrs. Zhao's help is always in my heart."

Recently, Zhao Cong gradually understood some things.

Although he was not as good at talking as Zhao Gui, but he no longer had a joking expression, but also followed suit with a solemn expression.

Mrs. Lu sighed in her heart, would she win the bet?Surely it will?

In the end, Luo Cheng and the others went to the prefect Chen's residence.

The collection of military rations, taxes and rations is under the jurisdiction of the prefect Chen.

The finance and taxation of the Yuezhou government is under his control.

As soon as Zhao Gui said what he wanted, the expression on Chen Zhifu's face changed faster than anyone else.

He yelled for a long time, but in the end, he was still forced to take out a thousand shi of grain and [-] guan in money.

.

After leaving the prefect Chen's house, Zhao Shicheng returned to the Tang residence.

Zhao Gui learned that the Tang residence was the residence of Zhao Shicheng's fiancée. Although only Zhao Shicheng and a pair of old servants lived in the residence, he did not bother him, but went to live in the inn.

When Luo Cheng returned to the medical hall, it was already halfway through the second watch.

Xiang Erbao, Chunya, and Zhao Cong all fell asleep.

Li Jiaoniang hadn't slept yet, after taking a bath, she wore a thick cloak, wrapped up the quilt and sat on the kang, reading a book, waiting for Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng pushed the door open and came in, seeing her sitting on the bed with her hair down, her posture was lazy and beautiful.

Thinking of what she said in the village yesterday, Luo Cheng's heart beat a little faster.

Actually stayed for a while.

Li Jiaoniang turned her head to look, and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you in a daze? Things are going well? Are those aristocratic families willing to help?"

Luo Cheng came back to his senses, walked to the bed, and held her hand, "When the food is raised, every family will pay for it."

Luo Cheng told Li Jiaoniang about the situation of several families.

Li Jiaoniang said happily, "That's right, you are so powerful, you have solved a big problem. In this way, one hundred thousand guan will be allotted. The only thing left is the food problem."

Luo Cheng was happy to see her, and he was also in a good mood.

He pinched Li Jiaoniang's nose, "Can I sleep peacefully?"

Li Jiaoniang threw away the book, shrank back into the quilt, nodded and said, "Of course." She pushed Luo Cheng, "Hurry up and take a bath and go to sleep."

Luo Cheng smiled, "Okay."

……

Early the next morning, Zhao Shicheng's carriage stopped in front of the medical hall for a while, bid farewell to Li Jiaoniang Luo Cheng, and went back to Lin'an.

Zhao Gui stayed in Yuezhou City and stayed for two more days.

Seeing that Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng had arranged things very well, she also left with peace of mind.

Although he still cared about his younger brother who lost his memory, he still left cruelly thinking of what Li Jiaoniang said.

Li Jiaoniang said that if you want Zhao Cong to grow up as soon as possible, you can't take too much care of him. The young Miao in the greenhouse can't stand the wind and the cold sword.

Thinking of the cold-blooded and ruthless imperial palace, and thinking of his second brother's soft temper, he had no choice but to be cruel and let him go.

……

The end of the year is getting closer, and Yuezhou City is getting more and more lively.

People who left their hometowns returned home one after another.

The business of the inn gradually became deserted.

There are only six guests living in the Ruyi Inn.

Of the six guests, five were still together.

The alone person is already renting a carriage, and he probably will leave after staying for half a day, so the shopkeeper is very pleased with the other five people.

Asking about the health and wellness, eating, playing, and using, everything is covered.

This morning, the master of the five sat at the dining table with his sleeves folded and sighed.

His two personal followers, from time to time, joked and said anecdotes to amuse him, but he still frowned and disliked their quarrel, so he kicked them one by one.

The two attendants didn't dare to talk anymore.

The three masters and servants are exactly Qin Hui's son, Qin Xi, and his two followers.

The shopkeeper was about to settle the accounts, rolled his eyes, walked over, and said with a smile, "Master, are you not satisfied with this morning's breakfast? How about the little old man give you a change?"

"No, this one is good." Qin Xi waved his hand, signaling the shopkeeper not to disturb him.

He is short of money recently, can he be in a good mood?

Seeing him playing with two dice on the table, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "I know a good place, the young master will definitely like it."

"What's a good place to go? If you don't speak well, be careful and I will punish you."

"I'm sure you like it." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "You go straight along the alley on the right of our inn, turn right when you reach the intersection of two willow trees, and keep going until you walk out of the alley and you will see a gambling house , that gambling shop doesn’t have a big facade, but inside it has…”

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, smiled and said nothing.

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"A very young lady to play with."

Qin Xi's eyes lit up, and he stood up, "Let me take a look!"

He has been losing money in gambling lately, and if he loses again, he will sell his horses and servants. If he changes places today, he must win back.

Qin Xi walked out of the inn cheerfully with his servants. Just as he was about to get into the carriage, his entourage said, "Hey, my lord, isn't that guy the one who messed up your business?"

"Where is it?" Qin Xi narrowed his eyes.

"That's not it!" The follower pointed to a person across the street and said.

Qin Xi narrowed his eyes and looked, huh?Zhao Cong?

What is this silly boy doing when he walks into the opposite shop by himself?

At first he didn't recognize Zhao Cong, this stupid little prince stayed in the palace all the year round, few people recognized him, not long ago he caught a few kids to get a sum of money, among them was Zhao Cong.

Later, Zhao Cong fled with others, and even ruined his Zhuangzi.

He found the place where Zhao Cong lived, and was about to teach him a lesson, but when he saw Zhao Cong's brother Zhao Gui coming, he knew Zhao Cong's identity.

Later, the officials also found him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

However, today Zhao Cong is alone and has amnesia...
