Xin Zhao has naturally heard of Chu Huan's reputation. He knows very well that the young man who can be sent by the emperor to Xiguan is by no means simple. There is no good fruit to eat, so I can only bite the bullet and say: "My lord, I will naturally follow my lord's order and go to General Dongfang to ask for equipment."

"That's very good." Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Zhao, the governor hopes that you can complete this matter within three days, which can be regarded as making up for your mistakes. If you can successfully complete the task, I will naturally forgive you. I won’t pursue it too seriously.”

Zhao Xinxin hated his teeth itchingly, but kept a respectful attitude on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I will thank the governor first."

"I'm not busy with these things. If you fail to recover the supplies that should belong to Xiguan Hyogo as scheduled, the governor will not be polite to you." Chu Huan picked up the teacup again, and without looking at Xin Zhao, he just said indifferently: " It's already lunch time, and the governor's mansion is full of clear soup and little water, so it's not good to keep Mr. Zhao for dinner, Mr. Zhao should go to Dongfang Xin as soon as possible."

Xin Zhao wished he could get out of here earlier, stood up, and retreated.

Chu Huan looked at Xin Zhao's back, holding a teacup, thoughtful, suddenly heard a slight movement nearby, he was extremely alert, as keen as a lone wolf, squinted over, and saw behind the screen on the side of the lobby He poked his head out, as if he was considering whether to come out. Chu Huan saw Su Niang at a glance, put down his teacup, turned his head, and said with a smile, "Su Niang, what's the matter?"

When Su Niang was discovered by Chu Huan, she was a little embarrassed, but she still walked out. She had already lost the phoenix tail bun at this time, and only women would comb such a bun to show that they were married.

Although Su Niang was nominally married to Chu Huan before, she had never consummated her marriage, and she had never combed this kind of womanly bun. This bun and her clothes showed the charm of a young woman.

"Master, this... this is the steamed bun I steamed for you." Su Niang came over with a plate of steamed buns, the steamed buns were still steaming, "You...you have been busy outside these days, so... !" After saying a few words, seeing Chu Huan staring at her face, Su Niang suddenly felt her heart beating a little faster, her face was hot, she lowered her head and walked over lightly.

Chu Huan said softly: "Thank you for your hard work...!"

"There was no flour in the mansion, but it was delivered from the pass this time." Su Niang said: "You have been busy all day, and you haven't had a good meal. It's noon, you have two steamed buns first. Pad it...!"

Chu Huan took a steamed bun, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Su Niang, do you know what the people in Xiguan are eating now?"

"I... I haven't been out before, so I don't know." Su Niang blinked her eyes, shook her head and said, "Second... Oh, master, I just heard them say that there is very little food in Xiguan, and many people died of starvation." .”

"Yes." Chu Huan signaled Su Niang to sit down on the chair next to him, "I have been out of the city to inspect the epidemic these days, and the epidemic has been brought under control, but I have also seen and heard many things. Many people starved to death in Xiguan It is not a lie to say that people are starving everywhere, fortunately, it is spring and summer, and the grass grows and warblers are flying, and many people are now using wild vegetables and bark to satisfy their hunger." He said sadly: "Just two days ago, I went to a place In the village, I saw with my own eyes a child who had just starved to death, she was only... only five or six years old... There are many victims like this in Xiguan...!"

Su Niang was originally born in poverty, she felt the same, her eyes turned red immediately, and she asked: "Then... what should I do then? Erlang, you are so capable, can you think of a way to save them?"

"I've been thinking of ways, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." Chu Huan said slowly: "The imperial court can't allocate relief food, and the common people can only live on weeds and bark. If it's better, they can make do with it. Go up the mountain to hunt some prey and pick some wild fruits, but there are so many people in Xiguan...!" After a pause, he sighed and said, "Fortunately, the counties and counties in Xiguan have already planted grain. It is also helping, although the weather is not smooth, but the crops are growing well, as long as it continues like this, there should be a good harvest in autumn."

Su Niang said: "When the food is harvested, no one will starve to death."

"I hope so." Chu Huan said: "It's just that there are not many grains in Xiguan, and there are not many crops planted, and many fields are still barren. This is not what I am most worried about...!"

Su Niang blinked her eyes, she is not the same as before, but she is used to dressing up every day, her almond eyes are red, her cheeks are rosy, she looks very fresh, "What is the master most worried about?"

"Bandits." Chu Huan said: "There are many bandits in Xiguan, they robbed houses and houses, but they didn't destroy the crops...!"

"Isn't this great?" Su Niang was puzzled: "The crops can only be harvested if they grow well. They didn't destroy the crops, so that's not too bad."

"The rogue bandits are actually mostly ordinary people, and they became bandits because of helplessness." Chu Huan said: "They used to grow crops, so they have feelings for the crops and will not destroy them easily, but this is not the most important thing. The reason, the main reason, is waiting for the crops to grow and mature...!" Looking at Su Niang, she said, "We are waiting for a good harvest so that the common people can eat food, but those bandits are also waiting for the food to be good. When the harvest is harvested, the whole nest will be mobilized to snatch the food."

"Ah?" Su Niang turned pale, and said anxiously: "Erlang, then you have to find a way to prevent them from taking away the food. If the food is really taken away by the bandits, more people will starve to death."

She was anxious for a moment, and Erlang's address broke out.

In fact, both Chu Huan and Su Niang tacitly tried their best to avoid this address, but when Erlang called it out, it always made them feel that it was the relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law, which was quite embarrassing.

Chu Huan said: "So the situation is very urgent. The government must prepare for the bandits to rob grain during the autumn harvest. These grains are life-saving. It is not only related to whether the common people can eat the grain, but also to the next year's grain. That is It must not be robbed by them, the food will fall into their hands, even if the people don’t want to rebel, but in order to survive, they will have to rebel with those gangsters...!" He slapped his head suddenly and said with a smile: " Really, seeing the steamed buns, why are you talking so much nonsense."

Su Niang's face flushed slightly, she lowered her head and said softly, "You... you can tell me anything, if you feel... unhappy in your heart, you can tell me...!"

Chu Huan saw that she was shy and coquettish, and she was very different from the village woman she used to be. It seems that time and environment can change a person after all.

"Okay, I have nowhere to tell if I am unhappy, I will tell Su Niang later." Chu Huan said with a smile: "However, for the time being, you don't need to touch the white flour brought from the pass, and maybe you can save a few more people in the future. "

"I listen to you, I don't need those flour in the future." Su Niang obediently said: "Then these steamed buns, master, you eat first...!"

"Give it to Lei'er." Chu Huan said, "He is young, eats a lot, and when he grows up...!"

When Su Niang heard Chu Huan mentioned Qin Lei, she had a strange look on her face, and said in a low voice: "Master, then... that kid has a really big appetite, he can eat three meals for one person, no wonder He is so strong, that fat man made a bet with him two days ago, saying that if he can lift the big rock in the back garden, he will call that kid big brother from now on...!"

Chu Huan knew that the fat man Su Niang referred to was Fat Willow, so he laughed and said, "You mean the huge rock in the back garden? It's only about three hundred catties. To Lei'er, it's really nothing. He is born with supernatural powers. , even if he added another stone, he would be fine."

Su Niang had already smiled and said: "Yes, Qin Lei easily lifted that stone, and Fat Liu was shocked. He wanted to play tricks, but Qin Lei grabbed him and forced him to call him big brother. There were so many people present, Fatty insisted on calling Qin Lei Big Brother in front of everyone."

Chu Huan smiled and nodded, Su Niang frowned again and said, "Then... have you given him all?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Send them all over. This child is pure-hearted. If you give him these buns today, he will always think of you in the future."

Su Niang hesitated for a moment, and said: "Either...or you can eat one, and the rest...I'll send the rest."

Chu Huan knew Su Niang's heart, this is a steamed bun she made specially for herself, if she didn't eat any of it, it would hurt Su Niang's heart, so she took one in her hand, took a bite, and said with a smile: "You made it Steamed buns are big and white, the most delicious...!" At this point, Chu Huan's mind flashed, but he couldn't help but glanced at Su Niang's chest.

Su Niang was watching Chu Huan eating steamed buns, and saw Chu Huan glanced at her chest. Women are most sensitive to such things. How could Su Niang not know what Chu Huan was thinking? On the night when she practiced her virginity, under the bed, Chu Huan had praised her big and white breasts, like two big balls of meat buns, she blushed for a moment and felt extremely ashamed.

Chu Huan also knew that what he said would make Su Niang misunderstand, but he didn't explain it. Seeing the pretty daughter-in-law with her head bowed and her face flushed, she was very charming.

"If you can save some food in the house." Chu Huan saw that the young daughter-in-law was too shy, so she could only change the subject, "It's not stingy, but I can save some food. I'm afraid it will save lives in the future. The old man and the others have sent a lot of food, but they still need to save some, Mr. Du can't help in the mansion, so you have to work hard for the affairs of the mansion."

Su Niang said pitifully: "Mr. Du was here before, and I was in good order, but after Mr. Du left, I have many things...not doing well, master, is it... am I too stupid?"

"Of course not." Chu Huan said gently: "There is always a process, and after a while, it will be smooth."

"I'll reduce my food and drink, so... the wages for everyone, do you want... also less?"

"The wages should not be small." Chu Huan said: "Although they are servants in the mansion, it is not easy to follow us out of the customs. The wages that should be paid should not be less."

Su Niang nodded hurriedly, holding the steamed buns, her eyes flickered, and she didn't leave for a while, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word.

"Su Niang, is there something wrong with you?" Chu Huan noticed it immediately.

Su Niang hurriedly said: "No...no...!" She looked a little flustered.

How thoughtful Chu Huan is, how can Su Niang not see that Su Niang has something on his mind, and asked softly: "What's the matter, just say it, we are husband and wife, as you said just now, if there is something I don't like, I can talk to you Tell me, then tell me what's on your mind."

Su Niang bit her plump red lips, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Master, I... I have... I have something to ask you!"
