The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 213 Drought
Until June, there was still no rain, and even the stream in front of the barracks was almost dry.

The tax that the imperial court had to increase before had to be sent away, and the northern border was about to face a full-scale drought.

The only good thing is that the sweet potatoes that An Xu asked Lei Ze to plant had a bumper harvest.

She planted more than two mu of land outside the military camp, and harvested more than 5000 catties.

As for the rice seedlings delivered to the herdsmen's homes, Zong Che took An Xu to visit these few days, and most of the yields per mu were more than two thousand catties.

At the beginning, there were hundreds of households dispersed, so the total amount was [-] to [-] catties. In order to cope with the drought visible to the naked eye, An Xu recovered [-] catties of sweet potatoes.

What she thinks is that the [-] catties of sweet potatoes will be raised again, and then distributed to each family to plant at least three acres of land.

But now there is no rain falling in the north, and no matter how drought-tolerant the sweet potato is, it cannot survive.

By mid-June, both inside and outside the city were faced with the situation of no water to eat. There was really no way, so Zong Che led a hundred soldiers to the south.

He said that since the south is flooded and the north has no water, and there is a canal to the north, he wants to bring as much water as possible.

At first, he wanted to take An Xu with him, but the northern border finally agreed with his rule. An Xu didn't want the people here to think that the top person was going to leave when the disaster was approaching, so he persuaded Zong Che to stay in the northern border.

Although Zong Che stayed alone in Anxu and stayed in the northern camp, but in comparison, the place he went to was dangerous, and the northern camp was safe.

But now, the north is not as safe as the south.

Zong Che was worried, and it took An Xu several days to convince him.

But when Zong Che left, he still left almost all of his confidants to her.

The current situation in the northern border is indeed like a tight string that can be broken at any touch.

The matter of Zong Che's departure should not be known to the outside world.

So An Xu sent Zong Che off to the south in the early morning of this day before dawn.

This is the gateway that guards the hinterland of Ming Dynasty. If you want to go south, Daying in the north is a spinning thread, and Huoliang City is also a spinning thread. In other words, you have to go through Huoliang City to go south.

When the morning star was at its brightest, a group of three teams knocked on the gate of Huoliang City, and An Xu sent it to the south gate, and the sky was already slightly bright.

Zong Che held An Xu's hand and said in a low voice: "Remember my words, if the situation is urgent, Tieshu and others will escort you away."

An Xu nodded: "Don't worry."

Zong Che gave An Xu a firm hug, and then walked away.

At this time, people who got up early to do business were already waiting in line outside the city gate. When they saw a group of soldiers leaving with whips, they were curious and speculated.

An Xu took a look and led the people back to the city.

In the city, according to the past, most of the early shops should be open at this time, but now it is almost dawn, the streets are still deserted, and no food stalls are open.

From time to time, there are people selling water at the intersection.

An Xu stopped the horse, led the horse and asked the price.

The water seller looked listless. He took a look at An Xu and evaluated whether she could afford it before saying, "A bowl of three taels of silver. If there is food, two catties of coarse grain can be exchanged for a bowl of water, and fine grain can be exchanged for one bowl of water." Just a catty."

An Xu looked at the man's appearance, and if he said he was just asking, he didn't know if he would be scolded, so he took out three taels of silver and asked for a bowl of water.

I brought a water bag with me, and they all fell into the water bag.

Just before I got on my horse and left, a small sedan chair turned out of a small alley that turned left in front.

An Xu just glanced at it, but he didn't expect a beautiful face with a blush to appear from behind the blue curtains of the small sedan chair.

Isn't this Su Lianxiang?
An Xu didn't expect such a coincidence, let alone that the sedan chair came towards him, and the person behind the curtain smiled and said, "Sister, why are you here?"

An Xu: That's so strange.

"Why can't I be here?"

Thinking of the man who just reluctantly flirted with her, the pink on Su Lianxiang's face became more obvious, and she said: "I heard that the warlord is very busy these days, and he doesn't have time to go back to the barracks. My sister has worked hard to stay alone in the vacant room."

An Xu sounds wrong, what does this mean?

Why did my sister suddenly, suddenly the warlord not return to the barracks, and suddenly guard the vacant room alone?
Looking at her appearance, no matter how you look at it, she looks a little ostentatious.

An Xu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait, what do you mean? You can't talk nonsense about some things."

Women want a clean reputation, and so do men.

Su Lianxiang looked at An Xu with some sarcasm in her eyes, "What? Hasn't the warlord told my sister yet?"

She doesn't want to be this shady woman all the time, since she met today, let's order this woman a little bit.

With pride still in his eyes, a black-faced guard over there scolded: "Can the warlord let you, a civilian girl, slander you?"

As he raised his hands, he said, "Also tell this girl that we just sent the warlord out of the south city gate, and if the warlord has something to say to Madam, there's no need for you to make irresponsible remarks here."

When Su Lianxiang heard that the warlord had just been sent out of the city, her complexion changed slightly. She had just separated from that man, how could she have just been sent out of the city gate?If it is said that they met outside just now, it is possible.

"Sister, why do you have to deceive yourself so much?" Su Lianxiang got off the sedan chair, covered her nose with a handkerchief, and looked at the water seller squatting next to her with disgust, "I don't know where the governor is, Xiang'er wants to pay a visit."

He loves her so much, so let's take a look today to see if this wife is more in his heart or himself.

An Xu understood a little now, and she asked Su Lianxiang, who had a shy and proud face, "Have you been deceived by someone? My husband and I have indeed gone to the south gate to do business."

Su Lianxiang didn't believe a word she said, she stroked her belly, she didn't want to say it so early, but since this woman couldn't recognize the reality, and he always wanted to take this woman's face into consideration, she had no choice but to Showed the situation.

"Sister, during this time, I have been with the warlord every night, and my monthly letter has been postponed for seven or eight days." Su Lianxiang said, "You don't know what it means, do you?"

An Xu confirmed: "Then you may have met a liar. I don't know how long you and your so-called warlord have just been separated."

Unexpectedly, this woman was so stubborn, Su Lianxiang frowned, and said: "We separated for less than a quarter of an hour, why, sister still said that the warlord has already left the city?"

The water seller leaned against the corner, and wanted to cover his ears at this moment. He was just an ordinary commoner. Hearing such a secret, let alone the warlord, it was the young lady’s family who could hear the secret. Will he survive?
An Xu turned his head and said to the iron tree behind him: "Go, search around here, and see if you can find the warlord that Miss Su was talking about."

Su Lianxiang was a little flustered, she was so determined, could it be that the person really wasn't him?
At this time, I heard the woman ask again: "Your sister Su Yaoyao, hasn't returned to Su's house for a while?"

Su Lianxiang took a step back and asked An Xu, "What do you want to do?"

An Xu raised his eyebrows, "I don't want to do anything, but I think your news is quite late."

The two remaining guards at the back were very winking, and went to find a chair from a shop that had just opened next door, brought it over and asked An Xu to sit down.

Only then did An Xu think of another thing, and asked, "By the way, is your family's fragrant soap business doing well recently?"

Su Lianxiang's face flushed. She had indeed heard her father's anxious words in the past two days. She didn't want to be laughed at right now, and said: "This is how business is done. How can it be easy to do every day? What's more, Huo Liang This is the case again in the city.”

Still haven't noticed it.

With such a few children in the Su family, it would be very difficult to break through the soap siege this time.

At that time, if they don't lower the price of pig pancreas soap, they can only find themselves to buy prescriptions. Of course, they will not sell them.

So they have only two options: lowering the price and exiting the market.

Not long after, Iron Tree twisted and came alone.

That person came out of the alley where Su Lianxiang's sedan chair just came out.

"Ma'am, it's a coincidence that this man just came out of a small courtyard as soon as the subordinate entered. Seeing that his clothes were very similar to the one worn by the master before, he caught him and interrogated him. This boy is a If you are timid, you will soon put it down."

People were thrown to the ground by iron trees.

The man looks good, with fair complexion and pretty handsome features, but his eyes are too slippery, so he doesn't look like an honest man.

When Luo Qiu raised his head and saw this woman whom the big man called his wife, his heart trembled. He had been singing operas in various noble houses all year round, but this was the first time he saw such an honorable woman.

He wanted to explain the deceit to Su Lianxiang a long time ago, the main reason is that they are in a hurry to sell grain now, and the price of the grain store is also changing every day. If Su Lianxiang hadn't given him a lot of money, he would have made it clear.

Tie Shu continued: "During this time, he was pretending to be the military governor and interacting with Miss Su."

Su Lianxiang's face turned pale all of a sudden, she rushed forward and grabbed Luo Qiu's shoulder, turned around and her lips trembled.

"Impossible, impossible," she pushed the man away, "I've been with the Overseer these days."

An Xu frowned, and said, "Without you being so touchy about porcelain, the 30 troops in the barracks can all testify that Zong Dujun has never left the barracks these days except for going out to sell cakes with me."

Su Lianxiang stepped back and nearly fell to the ground. The servant girl hurriedly supported her, glared at An Xu and said, "Madam, where did you find such a man to slander my lady's reputation, we want to see the governor."

Su Lianxiang's eyes are firm, no matter who it is, it must be the warlord.

"Even if Madam forced me to death today, I am also a member of the Overseer," she said, looking at the wall next to her with a bit of ruthlessness in her eyes.

A few people had gathered around, trying to see what kind of excitement it was.

An Xu is funny, people's psychology of watching the excitement really never weakens.

She also noticed Su Lianxiang's eyes, and motioned for Tieshu to stand aside to block it.

"You can't die until the matter is cleared up." An Xu said, "If you die, this shit is not on the warlord. Tell me about this person, what's going on?"

Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment before he realized that "this person" was himself, he immediately looked up and then quickly lowered his head, saying: "That day, the villain saw Miss Su pestering the warlord and was really short of money, so he thought of such a way. "

The more people gathered, the more they heard this and talked about it.

Some said that this man was so bold that he dared to pretend to be the warlord.

Some people also said that Miss Su's family was shameless.

Su Lianxiang yelled sharply: "Mrs. Zong, are you just going to kill Nujia? How can Nujia not feel what kind of person you are with?"

An Xu had never met such a shameless person, and said, "You are right, but you didn't look like a complete stranger to this person just now."

Luo Qiu knew that if he didn't want to be held accountable for the previous charge of impersonating the warlord, he had to clarify the matter, and when he spoke, it was very similar to Zong Che's voice.

What he said was what he said to Su Lianxiang when they met for the first time.

In the end, he changed back to his original voice, and kowtowed to An Xu: "Madam, please forgive me. The villain really just wanted to grab Miss Su's tricks and extort some money. I didn't expect that she really wanted to replace Madam. As soon as the villain showed that it was difficult to use money, she brought a lot of silver."

Because the money she brought was really a lot, Luo Qiu didn't think about tearing his face up all at once.

"Where's the silver?" An Xu asked.

Everything else is empty talk, and only with evidence can it be considered clear.

"Here is the silver," a woman suddenly shouted, carrying a heavy burden in her hand, and ran out from the alley. The person next to her, Moses, moved out of the way like a sea, and the woman knelt down in front of her. .

An Xu made a look, and the iron tree went over, took the burden, and dumped the money on the ground.

The red sun in the east has already come out, and the light hits the silver, shining brightly, and the onlookers can't help but gasp.

The Su family is really rich.

The sons of the Su family are so stingy, but this young lady is so generous.

An Xu asked Su Lianxiang: "Look, is it the money you gave?"

Luo Qiu was worried about the woman, so while no one else noticed, he glanced at the woman and said in a low voice, "Why are you back again?"

The woman shook her head.

She couldn't watch him die.

Originally, she advised him that he has a lot of money, so let's leave.

But he insisted on trying to dodge it again, and now he was hit by the boss, and if the reputation of Lord Overseer was not cleared, this lady would not like it, and might directly send troops to hunt them down to the ends of the world.

However, how could the people at the scene fail to notice the relationship between their eyebrows and eyes?

Su Lianxiang saw it for real, she covered her ears and screamed, almost collapsed, how could it be like this, how could it be like this?
Naturally, it was impossible for her not to recognize the man she had been intimate with for more than a month, but she never expected that this man had lied to her for so long, and in the end, it was to make money for other women to spend.

Have no feelings for her at all.

Even though she always regarded him as someone else, but he lied to her, he couldn't bear himself at all.

An Xu couldn't read Su Lianxiang's thoughts at this time, if he could know, An Xu would hand over the mind reading skills as soon as possible.Don't listen to this stupid talk too much, and you will become stupid.

Seeing Su Lianxiang staring blankly at the two, An Xu knocked on the leg of the chair and said, "Miss Su, is this your money?"
