After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 306
After Chen Xingyan came in to say hello, he sat down in the study.

"Xing'er, why are you here today?"

"Father, my daughter heard the news, so she came here to discuss with her father."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Obviously, both Chen Ke and Chen Sanye showed great interest.

"Father, Uncle Chang has always been in charge of the business of Ruyi Workshop. According to him, there are two prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River that have been involved in the civil unrest. In addition to the victory of the first battle, a small general sent by the imperial court earlier, Other large and small battles have all ended in failure. Moreover, civil unrest is still spreading."

Chen Sanye was the first to speak: "Is the news reliable?"

Chen Xingyan nodded, "It shouldn't be wrong. The third uncle also knows that these merchants are very well-informed. Now that the water transportation in Jiangnan has been completely controlled by those mobs, unless the imperial court sends another good general, otherwise, it may be difficult to regain Jiangnan. Not easy."

Chen Ke also agrees with this point. Jiangnan has a natural barrier of rivers, which is not so easy to win.

Moreover, this civil unrest is indeed huge. If they hadn't calculated it long ago, they would not have gone north with their family.

"I don't know when this catastrophe will be over. Xing'er, I heard that the price of grain and charcoal in Gaoyang County are also rising steadily. Have you and your son-in-law made any preparations before?"

"Father, don't worry. The 1 taels of silver notes you gave were used to buy necessities except for the two houses. We don't have too much space for charcoal. After all, Gaoyang County is only a small place. It’s not too much to wait for the charcoal to be prepared, if only the male master in the mansion uses it, it should be enough.”

Chen Sanye said that it is understandable, after all, this is just a small county, how can we expect it to be the same as before?
"Let your niece worry about it. You have already arranged it very thoughtfully."

"Thank you third uncle for understanding my difficulties. Grandma and Madam also asked my father to speak for me."

Chen Ke frowned: "Did they blame you?"

Chen Xingyan smiled, and said indifferently: "There is a sudden drop in living standards, and it is understandable for everyone to accept it. But I have tried my best to prepare. Since I received the letter from my father, I have not dared to stop for a day. Okay. We have stockpiled a lot of food, which should be enough for the people of the two prefectures to eat."

Chen Sanye's eyes lit up: "Liu Yatou means that besides the food in our house, have you hoarded it in other places?"

"Yes, it was also to avoid people's eyes and ears. Besides, the house was empty at the time, and I didn't dare to put too much food, so as not to attract Xiao Xiaoxiao again. To tell the truth, the price of food in Gaoyang County is at the beginning of October. At that time, it has already risen a lot. The things I hoarded were all managed by my husband to buy back from Liguo."

Although not much is known about this matter, there is no need to hide it from the Chen family.

The most important thing is to let them know that the food is hard-won, so that some people will not always know what is good and what is bad.

Chen Ke's face tightened: "Nonsense! How can it be easy to buy food in Liguo? You are not afraid of being detained by Liguo again!"

"Father, don't worry, the county magistrate Li and Da Xiong discussed this matter at the beginning. At the beginning, they divided up two groups of people and first brought back forty carts of grain, twenty of which went into the county's granary. As a contingency, the remaining [-] vehicles went to the granary in Qingshui Town. At that time, I was only worried that the people in Gaoyang County would have a hard time this winter, so I made preparations early.

Later, after receiving a letter from his father, Da Xiong asked Uncle Chang and his men to run together a few more times. Fortunately, all the food was obtained, and everyone was fine. At most, he just gave up some money and went out. "

Chen Ke said with a distressed face: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Father is offended by saying this. I am your daughter, and it is my duty to help you share your worries. If Big Bear hadn't reminded me this morning, I would have forgotten to tell you about the food. Fortunately You haven't gone to buy high-priced food, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money!"

Chen Sanye laughed loudly and said: "Liu girl, it's really time for you to come. To tell you the truth, I am also worrying about this matter. I was thinking about saving money, but you are here!"

Chen Xingyan smiled, "Third uncle doesn't blame me for my poor memory."

Chen Ke's mood also improved a lot.

"Father, Third Uncle, although we have bought a lot of grain, there are coarse grains and fine grains. I will ship it to Chen's house at the rate of seven cents of fine grains and three cents of coarse grains. Is it possible?"

"of course can."

Neither of them had any opinion on this.

What about whole grains?
Besides, when they were in the south of the Yangtze River, they would occasionally eat coarse grains.

There are already a lot of seven-point fine grains.

The big deal is to let the servants eat coarse grains at that time.

The food problem was solved, and the Chen family naturally felt a lot more relaxed. They were worried about spending several times the price to buy food, but they didn't expect Chen Xingyan to help them stock up the food earlier, but it solved their big problem. problem!
"I know that my third uncle has been helping with the family affairs. On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mr. He from Fucheng will come to Lujia Village. He is the largest drug dealer in Dongping Mansion. There are also many merchants of his in Jiangnan. Third uncle may wish to make friends with him." some time?"

Chen Sanye was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The six girls are talking about the famous He drug dealer?"

As soon as Chen Xingyan heard it, he knew that Master He's reputation in Jiangnan was not small.

"Exactly. I concocted hawthorn at the beginning, and the Qiuli ointment and other medicines that I made later were resold to other places through his hands."

Chen Sanye nodded, seemingly calm, but the shock in his eyes was hard to conceal.

The name of this drug dealer He is too famous, he never expected that he and Liu Yatou are still old acquaintances.

"Okay, then I'll go to Lu's Village to bother you."

"Third Uncle is being polite, we are all one family and don't talk about two families. If Father and Third Uncle have no other orders, then I will leave first."

Chen Ke nodded: "Go."

After she left, Third Master Chen let out a long breath and said, "Brother gave birth to a good girl!"

Chen Ke smiled wryly and said, "Sir, don't make fun of me! If I hadn't cared about the family's reputation, I would never have let my daughter be wronged."

Chen Sanye also thought of the past and shook his head again and again.

The daughter of the Chen family, Chen Xinghan, is simply a disaster!

Ever since she married into the Zhen family, nothing good has happened.

Not only did the Chen family fail to get the honor of the Zhen family, but they also frequently lost face because of Chen Xinghan, and in the end they ended up reconciling again!

It's not important to think about the money that Chen Jiashe gave away, but face, once lost, it's not so easy to pick it up again!
