Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 390 An Eternal Family (2)

"Hey..." Yuan Bao didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, "I know, I know, you build water conservancy, disperse property, send family and servants back home, all in preparation for this day, you said cousin used My dowry is putting you in trouble, not because he is showing off, but because you have to bear the corresponding pressure after accepting my dowry."

"Hmph," Su Chunsheng pinched Yuan Bao's nose, "You have such a small mouth, you are used to coaxing people, and you will be willing to die!"

Yuan Bao remembered what she did for Su Chunsheng with her mouth last night, and couldn't help blushing, "What nonsense are you talking about? I mean, should I kneel in the palace now, or do something Just something."

Su Chunsheng was happy, "Where did you think, why am I talking nonsense?" Lying halfway next to Yuan Bao, playing with Yuan Bao's broken hair in his hand, with a teasing smile on his face, "It's so hard now. If you are depressed, the steps of the emperor will also come down, what are you going to do? Do you have to let the emperor think about it again?"

"Oh——" Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief, "Seeing that you still have the mind to make such a fuss, I'm relieved."

Su Chunsheng's expression turned solemn, "Since the day I insisted on marrying you, I knew there would be such a day, and I did so many things. Looking at the world, the person who is most happy to see our marriage come to fruition It must be the emperor. I heard that the reason why the emperor lost his temper because of the treasure ship this time is because the young master refused the marriage bestowed by the emperor before, but it was because the royal family was very embarrassing. Covering the ground and refusing to let others know..."

Yuan Bao looked sad, "I knew it, my cousin is too..." It's over when you get married, anyway, you will always get married, besides, Ni Yuze is already 21, he is really an old leftover man, but she said this, She seemed really heartless, so she could only pretend she didn't know, and said, "I don't know which princess it is."

Su Chunsheng sneered, "Do you still have to ask?" The sixth prince was demoted to common people, the second prince was sent to the frontiers, the third prince was still imprisoned in the mansion, and the emperor was left with only the eldest prince, whose health has never been in good condition. Well, many matters in the court are managed by the eldest prince, and the emperor personally guides him, and among the officials, the second prince's party has been purged very severely.

"Actually... the third princess is pretty good." Ai Ai Yuan Bao Qiqi said, and suddenly remembered something, "Cousin, he must not have lost his temper, right?" Now it seems that the disaster she encountered in Cangshan Mansion , the shadow of the eldest prince is indispensable behind him, and the emperor acquiesces and even supports it!
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, this matter is not over yet, let's just wait." Su Chunsheng stood up and clenched his hands into fists, "I don't believe it, you two brothers and sisters earned this promise Family business, I can't even keep it!"

"Chunsheng——" Yuan Bao jumped up, "Money and wealth are things outside your body, so don't take any risks because of this!" Well, she is selfish, and in her heart, Ni Yuze is still inferior to the Su family It's important, and it's not as important as Su Chunsheng.

Su Chunsheng patted Yuan Bao's shoulder, "I know, don't worry!" After leaving the house, he went to the outer courtyard and speeded up the transportation of the grain in his hand to Yujiagang.

This kind of grain transportation started after Yuanbao passed through the door. On the one hand, Yuanbao’s dowry gave Su Chunsheng a reason to transport grain. What a great place to escape!

However, I hope it doesn't work.

In the blink of an eye, the scientific examination in August came, and Yuan Bao was full of Ni Yuze's business, and lacked interest in it, so he asked the Su family brothers in private, "Is this scientific examination still interesting to you now?" Yuan Bao, the property under his name is tax-free, "Is it really that important to be an official or not? If you ask me, it's better not to be an official, it's too complicated!"

Su Chunsheng said sternly, "Whether you can get the ingot or not is a matter of ability, and whether you take the test is a matter of attitude. How can we, the emperor's subjects, not be loyal to the country?" With Ni Yuze around, they must show respect for the royal family. Only in this way can they keep Yuanbao and the Su family safe, and give Ni Yuze corresponding assistance. This is how they have always survived.

Yuan Bao lowered his head, "I see." After all, it was the trouble caused by earning money by himself, "It seems that you will definitely pass the exam."

Su Qiusheng has become more and more mature, and he doesn't hide that his grades have too many shadows of family wealth, "Yuan Bao, my eldest brother told me that even if he passes the exam, he will not be an official, and he can accompany you every day. It’s good for me to be an official by myself, and An’an can help me in the future.”

"If you are a Juren this year and a Jinshi next year, what kind of official can you be? Like the two elder brothers of the Shi family? Be an editor or something..." Yuan Bao thought for a while, "That's not bad! "

Su Qiusheng immediately shattered Yuan Bao's illusion, "No, I won't, I will be released..."

"Huh?" Yuan Bao was very regretful, "The house in Jingzhong is for nothing, alas, it would be great if I could know where I will go in advance."

Su Qiusheng smiled, this is Yuanbao, I don't expect you to be prosperous, I only hope that you have no worries about food and clothing, safety and success, a little bit reluctant to tell the truth, "If you know, go and see, where is the poorest and most miserable place in the whole dynasty? That's where I'm most likely to become an official..." The Su family's property, the abilities of the Su brothers have been seen by the emperor, so how could they not "make the best use of them"?

Su Chunsheng interjected, "Qiusheng will be promoted step by step. The bigger the official he is, the bigger the area he will be in charge of. If he helps a place get rid of poverty and become rich, he will be replaced by the poorest one until he becomes the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and can manage it." As far as people's livelihood is concerned, the Su family's property is endless, and Qiu Sheng's official fortune is endless. As for the speed of promotion, it depends entirely on when your good cousin gets mad. Once the young master gets mad, Qiu Sheng will be promoted until the treasury no longer depends on Yu's money. until!"

The outspokenness of the two brothers made Yuan Bao dumbfounded, and then she clenched her fists, "It's okay, Qiu Sheng, don't be afraid, mother is in good health, and An An Ran has grown up, when the time comes, our whole family will accompany you Take office, open up wasteland and farm to start a business, if you don’t believe me, your official luck will not be successful!”

"Yuanbao..." Su Qiusheng turned his head away, hiding his reddened eye sockets, Su Chunsheng reached out and patted his shoulder, all in silence.

This is Yuan Bao, this is his family, he should be content, Su Qiusheng thought, at this moment, whether Yuan Bao is his sister-in-law or his sister, they are very good, really good!
The autumn rain was relentless, and Yuan Bao felt a little uneasy. She couldn't even continue to be a female celebrity, let alone paint. She was the only one in the house, and she didn't even have anyone to talk to. Yan Xi saw what was on her mind and persuaded, "Today is the last day of the scientific examination. Didn't the princess say that it doesn't matter if the two young masters pass the examination or not! Otherwise..." Yanxi looked up at the sky outside, "Let's pick it up earlier. !" The location of the scientific research is not far from the Su Mansion, going now is just waiting in another place.

Yuan Bao waved his hand, "No need..." Suddenly there was a shout from outside the door, "Yuan Bao——, Yuan Bao—"

Yuan Bao's heart tightened, the ominous feeling became more and more obvious, he raised his legs and ran out, Yan Xi was also anxious, "I sound like Sister Xin'er—" What kind of anxiety is going to make Jing Xin even at least Have you forgotten your dignity? !
The two masters and servants had just run into the yard, and met Jing Xin with a big belly, she grabbed Yuan Bao, "Yuan Bao——something happened to the young master, you must go to rescue the young master—"

really!When the worst happened, Yuan Bao calmed down, "Sister Xin'er, I will definitely go, first tell me what's wrong with cousin?!" while ordering someone to invite the doctor in the mansion to give Jing Xin peace of mind. fetal.

After the matter of the treasure ship was suppressed, the emperor sent Ni Yuze another punitive errand to transport food and army food to the Suzhou government!
Suzhou Prefecture is the most northwest of the whole dynasty, while Ningnan Prefecture is in the southeast. Such a long journey to transport grain is not worth the loss. However, Suzhou Prefecture is cold and dry, and the land is barren. There is really no large grain-producing area around. Therefore, it is also very difficult to mobilize food and grass nearby.

On the surface, the difficulty of this errand is that the time is tight, the quantity is large, the freight is expensive, and it will be laborious and costly, but this loss is nothing to Ni Yuze. If I remember correctly, Suzhou Mansion is the border, the imperial court has sent heavy troops there, and the second prince must be there to supervise the army!"

"Woooo..." Jingxin burst into tears, "I just said, this errand is too dangerous, let them tell you in advance, but the young master won't allow it, they don't dare, I'm willing to go all out, no matter what the young master says I have to ask you to help me find a way to punish me, but they trapped me in the mansion in the name of abortion, and I managed to escape today! The young master’s food and grass were not far from the Suzhou mansion, but they were set on fire by the thieves It’s a bright day, and it’s so close to the army, where did the thieves come from?! Now the day to hand over grain is getting closer and closer, even if you have money, where can you let the young master get so much grain?! I heard there was a drought over there this year, and the surrounding prefectures have no food, and if they are transported in, they may be robbed by refugees."

The previous emperors ruled the country with martial arts, and now the achievements of raising soldiers are still obvious. The treasury and the people are so poor, basically more than one place is affected by disasters every year. Yuanbao has never heard of riots or foreign invasions, and thieves are not. Not many, but I have never seen bandits and robberies, so even a blind person can see something strange when Ni Yuze's army rations are robbed.

Yuan Bao calculated the day and route of delivery, and patted Jing Xin's hand, "It's okay, I have a way, and there is still time."

Under Yuan Bao's guarantee, Jing Xin also calmed down, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm in a hurry too, in fact, even if you can't pay the food, the emperor will not punish you so much, the emperor can't leave you, and everything It's just a lot of thunder and rain, I'm just worried about the son's health, the princess..." Jingxin looked at Yuan Bao, "Since the princess got married, the son has been in a bad mood. He was sick a while ago, and later I was slapped by the emperor again, and this time I personally escorted the grain and grass. Since I was a child, how have you ever suffered such grievances and sufferings? What I am most worried about is that once the son is sick... That's why I came to beg the princess The people around Ni Yuze were terrified by Ni Yuze's "psychological illness" that could kill him at every turn, but Yuan Bao was most worried about this.

"It's right for you to come to me." Yuan Bao is not as optimistic as Jing Xin thinks, yes, the emperor is not willing to kill Ni Yuze because Ni Yuze is still useful, but what about the second prince?After losing the chance to compete for the crown prince, will the second prince really not kill Ni Yuze?

Assassination must not be easy. There are too many good players around Ni Yuze. Even this time, Yuan Bao listened to Jing Xin and said that he did not lose many people. He just burned all the food with fire oil bows and crossbows.

But assassination is not enough, isn't there still open murder?Ni Yuze missed the military rations, that is a violation of the military order, and he can be beheaded. Even if the emperor is willing to protect him, there is a saying that "the general will not accept the military order abroad", the second prince can kill Ni Yuze before the emperor, Ni Yuze Can the guards fight the assassins desperately, can they be worth the thousands of troops who carry out the military orders? !
Before Yuan Bao and Jing Xin finished speaking, Su Chunsheng, who was supposed to be in the examination room at this time, came in, "Yuan Bao, change into the servant's clothes, hurry up!"

As soon as Yuan Bao's heart relaxed, she knew that Su Chunsheng and Ni Yuze had always been in contact, but they didn't tell her that's all. Now it seems that even in the examination room, Su Chunsheng is capable of getting news about Ni Yuze. The examination room also explained that this matter is very urgent.

Dry rations, water bags, tokens, scattered silver, all good hands, extra horses, they set off in just a quarter of an hour, because Su Chunsheng and Yuan Bao knew in their hearts that what they sent to Ni Yuze this time was not food , not the emperor's amnesty decree, but this man Yuan Bao!

"The emperor's pardon will definitely be in trouble, and it will be too late, so we must hand in the food on time. Fortunately, the business of the young master is all over the court, and the flying pigeons are faster than the military newspapers, which bought us time. ..." Su Chunsheng said to the drowsy Yuan Bao in his arms.

This kind of galloping day and night is unbearable for a middle-aged man practicing martial arts, let alone a small Yuanbao. In order to prevent the Yuanbao who fell asleep on the horse from falling off, Su Chunsheng had to ask the guards to take turns holding the Yuanbao. Now it is his turn. .

"Thank you...Chun...Sheng..." Yuan Bao's voice was intermittent due to the jolting of the horse and the strong wind.

After hearing about Ni Yuze, what Yuan Bao was most worried about was that Su Chunsheng would not let her go. To be honest, Yuan Bao himself hesitated for a moment. She could take risks for Ni Yuze, but she is now the daughter-in-law of the Su family, and her life is not hers. Her own, but in order not to hurt the Su family, she never expected Su Chunsheng to accompany her willingly, and she was very grateful if Su Chunsheng allowed her to go.

Of course, Yuan Bao also knew that Su Chunsheng would definitely do a better job than her in arranging the journey, and the facts proved this point. With Su Chunsheng's arrangement and care, after three days, the journey would save a full day and night, and sometimes You can take a carriage, and everyone takes turns sleeping in the carriage.

"He is your cousin and our family. If I don't let you go, you will be restless for the rest of your life! No matter whether something happened to him or not!" Su Chunsheng's voice was cold and calm, but what he said was strange Unusual warmth.

Six days later, they encountered the biggest trouble of this trip - refugees.

Su Chunsheng's voice was already hoarse. No matter how good his health was, it could not compare to Yuan Bao, who was guarded and taken care of by everyone. Besides, he just came out of the scientific examination room where he lost half his life once, but his The thinking is still very clear, "Where is the Qi family's food?"

Yuan Bao's eyes lit up, yes, his uncle's family, Qi's family, is not in the grain business, and it's close to Suzhou Prefecture. Su Chunsheng really doesn't know how his head grows.

"I have arrived according to the order of the county horse, but there is only enough porridge for an hour." When the guard replied, his face was very ugly.

"Bring the map." Su Chunsheng unfolded the map and looked at it while calculating, and then persuaded Yuan Bao, "It's okay, an hour is fine, in fact, I just want them to go to the designated location, as long as we make good use of it, There is a way to pass safely, but you have to work hard, they don't have enough food!"

Yuan Bao nodded excitedly, "It's not hard work, it's really not hard work at all."

The place where the porridge was shed was carefully designed by Su Chunsheng. It happened that after the news spread, the refugees could get out of the way they wanted to pass. He was on the horse, and his mind was not idle at all. Not small, it would be great if the food copied by Yuanbao could be delivered to these places on time, then their route and delivery location would have to be carefully calculated again.

"Forget it, let's take a carriage for the rest of the journey!" Su Chunsheng quickly made a decision. Only in a carriage can Yuan Bao's abilities be displayed secretly. Stop and rest for a while. Although it is not yet September, the weather gets colder as we go north, and snow will fall soon.

The bare flatbed carriages are tattered and have no shock absorption at all. There are only two carriages with covered carriages, but they are useless. Su Chunsheng asks people to open the curtains and doors of the carriages. Only in this way can the refugees At a glance, I can see that there is nothing in the carriage, especially there is nothing to eat, so I will not be tempted to rob.

But just like that, the refugees still stared at the skinny horse pulling the cart with their green eyes. If the cart wasn't crowded with strong guards, they might really come up and snatch it.

And even in such a carriage, Yuan Bao could still fall asleep soundly, and joked with Su Chunsheng, "I think it would be great for me if I could ride in such a carriage when I went to Qing'an County to deliver my son overnight. The greatest happiness, it seems that no matter how I change, I am still a child from a poor family."
