Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 96 Purdah【810】

When he stepped into the signing room, Dong Cheng had completely calmed down.

Although the matter at hand is difficult, it must be done.

"Come here, call Liu Cao to join the military, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them." After Dong Cheng sat down, he took a sip of strong tea to calm down his shock, and then gave instructions.

"Yes, sir!" Someone agreed outside the door, followed by the sound of a series of footsteps retreating.

After a while, all the six Cao soldiers including Zhu Xiuyuan arrived.

They sat down one by one at the end of the signing room.

"Sir, regarding the opening of the official warehouse to release grain, the governor..."

A military officer was the first to ask.

Although his sentence was not complete, everyone present understood what he was asking.

Although they can probably guess the final result, they still hold out hope, what if the governor agrees?

"The governor does not agree to open the official warehouse to release grain. We can only think of another way to raise grain for disaster relief."

Dong Cheng said this matter calmly.

It was completely impossible to hear how angry he had been just now in the back hall of the Yamen.

"Hey……"

"It's hard to do now..."

"Where are we going to get so much food?"

"The governor, do you just watch the people suffer and ignore it?"

"Shh, be careful..."

The military officers shook their heads one after another. After sighing, they had no other choice but to stare at Dong Cheng.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't say a word. In fact, he had been thinking hard for so long and couldn't think of any good solution.

One can imagine the burden that is on the shoulders of my father-in-law...

"I will find a way to raise food for disaster relief. You just need to do your part. Okay, you go down and do your work." Dong Cheng calmly ordered.

All the Cao Shenjun shook their heads and left, but Zhu Xiuyuan stayed.A quarter of an hour later.

boom!
A teacup was smashed to pieces.

After a while, another sound came from the signing room: "Bang!"

"Hahaha, my dear son-in-law, I feel a lot better now. It's just a pity that I lost two teacups."

……

……

Dong Mansion.

"Miss..."

Xia Wu's cry came, accompanied by footsteps, getting closer and closer.

After opening the door and entering, Xia Wu trotted forward two steps, then paused suddenly, as if remembering something important, she immediately turned around and closed the door.

The young lady has just recovered from a serious illness. It is the time to "nurture the body". She can no longer be exposed to the cold wind to avoid the recurrence of wind and cold.

It's windy and rainy outside now, and the temperature seems to be lower than yesterday.

Before leaving, her uncle had given strict instructions to her and Qiu Wen, and asked them to keep an eye on Dong Shuzhen and not let her get out of bed or leave the door of the room.

After Dong Shuzhen drank the last dose of medicine, her illness was actually already cured and she was bouncing around.

But her illness this time has frightened everyone in the Dong family. Moreover, the weather has not improved now, and the temperature is getting lower and colder.

Therefore, Dong Shuzhen must not step out of the house again until the weather improves.

This was Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan's "joint request" for her.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan, one is her father and the other is her husband.

It was extremely rare for two people to restrain her on the same matter. This rarely happened before.

In the past, Zhu Xiuyuan was more indulgent to her.

Therefore, Dong Shuzhen rarely caused any trouble this time. She just stayed on her bed and never left the room.
