Chapter 358 Gifts
"Cook these for the refugees to eat at night." As for the back, Shangguan Xuan's shoulders collapsed, and he had no choice.

Liu Cheng couldn't bear to look at Shangguanxuan, and said: "My lord, we have done well enough. If we persist for a few more days, the relief food from above should be coming down soon."

Relief food!

It was also sent to the west for the first time, and then to those places with many refugees. As for them, I don't know when they will be sent here!

Shangguanxuan shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, Zhenbao Pavilion and Yunshui Pavilion have started giving porridge to refugees, otherwise."

Liu Cheng understood what Shangguanxuan meant, and just as he was about to open his mouth, a yamen servant came running over, his face full of excitement, and said, "My lord, my lord."

Liu Cheng frowned and scolded, "What are you doing? You're being reckless."

"Brother Liu." The clerk was startled by Liu Cheng, shrunk his neck subconsciously, then looked at Shangguanxuan, and said, "My lord, it's Xiangmanlou, Xiangmanlou is here to deliver food."

"What!" Liu Cheng and Shangguan Xuan were shocked, some couldn't believe their ears.

food!

The clerk smiled and said: "This subordinate didn't believe it at first, but later he believed it when he saw the food. My lord, shopkeeper Shen, who is full of fragrance, is waiting outside!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuan smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"Sir, please slow down." Liu Cheng looked at Shangguanxuan who almost fell over the threshold, and couldn't help but said.

Shangguan Xuan waved his hands without looking back, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go, let's go." Hehe, it must be Aqiu, it must be Aqiu's meaning.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Aqiu for a long time, and he didn't know how he was doing in the capital.

At the entrance of the county government office, shopkeeper Shen led people to press the carts of grain, and there were several tall guards standing beside each cart.

All around, the refugees stared at the food on the cart, and some of them even started to move.

Seeing this, several guards snorted coldly, pulled out the sabers they carried with them, and glanced coldly for a week.

"This is donated to you by our boss. Don't be ignorant. If you really don't care about it, then we will ship it back."

When the refugees heard this, they immediately panicked, and gathered around the grain truck one by one, saying in a panic:
"No, that's not what we mean."

"We were mostly just too hungry, too hungry."

"Grain, don't take the food away."

"We thank you guys, we just take a look, take a look."

……

When Shangguanxuan came out, he saw panicked refugees and guards with disgusted faces. He didn't ask what happened, but turned his attention to shopkeeper Shen next to him.

"Master Shangguan." Shopkeeper Shen saw Shangguanxuan coming out, hurriedly went up to him, and saluted him.

"Shopkeeper Shen." Shangguanxuan said, and then his eyes fell on the grain cart beside him, with a smile on his face. The seven carts full of grain were enough for the refugees to eat for several days.

Although I am still half full, at least I won't starve to death!

Shopkeeper Shen said with a smile: "Master Shangguan, our boss has something to do in the capital and can't come back, so he ordered us to bring it to you."

Shangguanxuan saw that shopkeeper Shen still had something to say, so he said to Liu Cheng who was beside him: "Liu Cheng, take them to the granary."

"Okay, my lord." Liu Cheng said to the guards standing beside the grain truck, "Everyone, please follow me."

Liu Cheng took the guards to the granary, and Shangguanxuan brought shopkeeper Shen to the front hall.

"Shopkeeper Shen, Ah Qiu has something for you to bring to me." Shangguan Xuan asked with a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Shopkeeper Shen smiled, took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Shangguanxuan, and said, "This is what the boss asked the younger one to bring to you."

Shangguan Xuan hurriedly took the letter, opened it, read it, read it over and over again, with a very bright smile on his face, Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu finally wrote to him.

Shopkeeper Shen who was sitting next to him couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he saw Shangguanxuan's appearance. Thinking of the letter his boss had written to him before, he couldn't help but think, the relationship between Mr. Shangguan and their boss is too good!
"Master Shangguan, our boss has said that if you need anything, just say so, and we, Xiangmanlou, will definitely cooperate."

"Definitely, definitely." Shangguanxuan looked at shopkeeper Shen and said with a smile: "To be honest, the granary in my county government office is almost empty. If you hadn't brought the food, the porridge at night would not be able to go smoothly. It's going on."

Shopkeeper Shen gave Shangguanxuan a thumbs up with a smile, and said, "Your Excellency has a heart for the common people. It is a blessing for our Ling County to have you here!"

"Master Shen." Shangguan Xuan said with a light smile, "As a county magistrate, I naturally put the people first, although the refugees in the city came from the west and do not belong to our Ling County."

"But since we have come to our Ling County, it is natural to be responsible to them and try our best to save their lives."

Shangguanxuan shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, "Although there are conflicts between the refugees and the people of this county, they are still a minority after all. Most of the refugees can still live in harmony with the people of this county."

Shopkeeper Shen nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Shangguan, the boss has said that the guards who escort the food will follow your orders, and you can order them as you please."

Shangguan Xuan's eyes lit up, he was worried that he could not find manpower to maintain order in the county, now it's all right, the manpower will come to the door by himself.

"Shopkeeper Shen, then I will not be polite."

Shopkeeper Shen said with a smile: "Master Shangguan, the same sentence, if you need anything, the whole Xiangmanlou can serve you." Then he looked at the sky outside.

Standing up, he said with a smile: "Lord Shangguan, the younger one is going back first. If you have anything to do, you can send someone to Xiangmanlou. The younger one is inside Xiangmanlou."

Shangguanxuan stood up and said with a smile, "Master Shen, I'll take you out."

"Master Shangguan, please." Shopkeeper Shen said.

October 10th is Gu Yao's 11th birthday. Early in the morning, Qin Shufang started to work. From kneading the noodles to rolling them, she did everything by herself.

When Gu Yao came to the dining room, she saw the Longevity Noodles on the table, with an egg lying on it, which was Gu Yao's favorite candied egg.

"Yao'er, it's just in time for you to come. Come, eat longevity noodles." Qin Shufang came out of the kitchen with other breakfasts, saw Gu Yao walking in, and greeted with a smile.

Gu Yao looked at Qin Shufang in a daze, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Mother, thank you."

"Stupid boy." Qin Shufang smiled lightly, and then said, "Come, sit down and eat noodles."

"Okay." Gu Yao smiled, sat down, took a bite of the noodles, and gave Qin Shufang a thumbs up, "Mother, it's delicious, very delicious."

Qin Shufang smiled happily and said, "If it's delicious, you should eat more. Before our birthday, you made us a birthday banquet. Today is your birthday, and my mother will cook something delicious for you."

"Okay." Gu Yao looked at Qin Shufang moved, then lowered her head and ate the noodles seriously.

People from the yamen took over the order of Zhenbao Pavilion and Yunshui Pavilion. The people in the two shops only need to give porridge every morning, noon and evening, so Gu Yao and Yi Ranchen came back two days ago.

Gu Yao's birthday banquet was a meal for the two families, but Shangguan Xuan and Xuanyuan Qiu still brought gifts.

The gift was sent by Shopkeeper Shen, Shangguan Xuan's was alright, but Xuanyuanqiu's gift was a whole big bag.

Everyone was terrified, because when it was delivered, there was a whole flatbed of things, and it was like moving.

Gu Yao looked at shopkeeper Shen in shock, and asked, "Treasurer Shen, did you give this to me from Aqiu?"

Shopkeeper Shen smiled and removed the outer layer of the gift, revealing several boxes inside, pointing to some of them and saying, "This is from my boss."

"As for the others." Shopkeeper Shen took out a letter, handed it to Gu Yao, and said, "The owner has written the source of the other gifts on this letter."

Because there are not many people who know Gu Yao's identity, at least shopkeeper Shen does not know, so I wrote this letter to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao accepted the letter with a smile, and after reading it, it turned out that Gu Tianqing told the queen, Feng Yuehua, about Gu Yao's affairs after returning.

And these gifts were prepared by Feng Yuehua herself, and then the prince asked Xuanyuanqiu to send them over.

"Yao'er, what's the matter?" Yi Jiang looked at Gu Yao who was crying suddenly, and asked worriedly, and cried after reading the letter.

Gu Yao sniffed, pulled out a smile, and said, "This is from my father, mother and brother." Of course, the letter was written by Feng Yuehua.

It expresses the feelings of longing and remorse for her daughter.

From Feng Yuehua's point of view, it was because of her forbearance every step of the way that Concubine Liu Gui made her progress, which led to the separation of their mother and daughter for so many years.

Yi Jiang reached out to hug Gu Yao, patted her on the back, and said, "Yaoer, if you miss them, then let's go to the capital, shall we?"

Gu Yao raised her head and said with a smile: "It'll be a while." Go, she definitely wants to go but not now, at least she has to wait until the situation in the capital is stable before she goes.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yi Jiang gently wiped the tears on Gu Yao's face, then smiled and said to shopkeeper Shen: "Treasurer Shen, stay for dinner."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Shen said with a smile, and then gave the gift he prepared to Gu Yao, "Miss Gu, happy birthday!"

"Shopkeeper Shen, thank you, sit down and eat something." Gu Yao said with a smile.

"Yes, eat something." Yi Jiang greeted with a smile, and asked the entourage brought by shopkeeper Shen to go with Gong Hao to rest and eat something.

For dinner, Qin Shufang cooked a table of special dishes and a cake with the words 'Happy Birthday to Gu Yao' written on it.

Yi Jiang opened a jar of new wine, "This is the new sweet-scented osmanthus brewed in the factory, everyone should try it."

This wine recipe was bought by Yi Jiang from a gambler half a year ago. It is said that his family used to own a winery.

But there was a prodigal son, and the huge family business was wiped out, leaving only one wine prescription.

Yi Jiang got the wine prescription without spending much money.
