The princess married: the black-bellied general is happy to be a father

Chapter 184 Food delivery
Chapter 184 Food delivery
Gu Yuting passed on exactly what Prince Rui said to Mu Yunchu.

"Three days? Don't worry, the food and grass will be delivered in one day at most." Mu Yunchu smiled: "I just happened to have a batch of food hoarded not far from the southwest, and Ning Wen happened to come here to buy food from the landlords. "

Her decision to help Ning Wen was really right.

There is war in the southwest, and people with a little money in their families will want to seek refuge in a safe place.And the grain hoarded at home is inconvenient to take away, so they will rush to sell it for money.

Ning Wen came over to buy food in person, and the price she gave was fair, and she collected a lot.

This girl is willing to endure hardships, is willing to travel, and has a brain.If she was a man, she would definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the court, but unfortunately, no matter how much Mu Yunchu valued her, it was impossible for her to become an official in the court.

After receiving Mu Yunchu's reply, Gu Yuting arranged for an army to transport food to the rear.

In fact, there is no grain in the three granaries in the southwest.

Previously, Qi Yu was stationed in the Southwest, and almost all the local taxes went into Qi Yu's pockets, and he squandered them, not to mention how poor the treasury was.

Although not everyone in the local officials is as virtuous as Qi Yu, they dare not speak out.At the beginning Qi Yu even dared to assassinate Prince Rui, it can be seen that this person's influence in the local area is unaffected by ordinary people.

The hounds trained by Wanshou City can only smell the food, but cannot tell the quantity.

After nightfall, Gu Yuting pretended to arrange heavy soldiers to transport food quietly, and the army that transported a small amount of food and grass and countless hay at noon the next day was attacked.

At this time, Ning Wen's caravan had already arrived outside the border city.

Now that the entry and exit control in the city is strictly controlled, Ning Wen wrote a letter to Mu Yunchu a long time ago, and Mu Yunchu went to meet her in person.

Seeing the dusty Ning Wen, Mu Yunchu's eyes were full of smiles: "You came so fast, it's hard work for you, a girl, to go around all day, come and rest with me."

Ning Wen wiped the sweat off her face; "It's not hard to work for the princess, this is the account book."

Caiyue also came with Ning Wen, and she was very happy to see Mu Yunchu: "Princess, Miss Ning is hurrying this way, I'm afraid it will delay your important event."

Mu Yunchu remembered Ning Wen's contribution, and the people in the caravan asked Mingyue to entertain her.

The son over there was directing the people in the army to unload the goods. Seeing that Ning Wen was bringing the supplies, he had mixed emotions in his eyes. Standing behind Mu Yunchu, Gu Yuting couldn't speak, so he had no choice but to give up.

Ning Wen boarded the carriage back home, and Mu Yunchu and Gu Yuting rode horses. Now that there is war in the southwest, there is no rule in the city that you cannot ride horses in the city.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Mu Yunchu turned his head and glanced at the serious man.

Gu Yuting hugged her soft body: "What are you referring to?"

He especially enjoyed the feeling of swaggering through the city with Mu Yunchu in his arms. Along the way, the people all gave way to them and cast envious glances at them. They only thought that General Gu and His Royal Highness the princess were really a couple of gods and gods.

Mu Yunchu said: "Didn't you deliberately arrange for Shizi elder brother to receive the food and grass?"

Mu Yunchu had noticed the way the prince looked at Ning Wen before, and Ning Wen probably noticed it too, but she has no intention to pay attention to it now.

Gu Yuting looked innocent; "This has nothing to do with me, it's an order from Uncle Prince Rui."

"Oh, let me just say, how can you be so careful." Uncle Wang Rui was obedient to Aunt Wangfei, Aunt Wangfei liked Ning Wen more, and Uncle Wang Rui definitely liked Ning Wen more.

There was not enough housing in the southwest, so Ning Wen lived in the same courtyard as Mu Yunchu and slept in the room next to her.

Prepared clothes and water for Ning Wen and Caiyue, asked them to take a bath first, and asked someone to prepare meals. Mu Yunchu looked through the account books in this spare time.

After the food and grass were arranged for the son, the affairs in Prince Rui's army were almost handled, father and son came together, and it happened that dinner was about to start here.

Gu Yuting greeted them outside, and Mu Yunchu put down the account book and went out with Ning Wen when she heard that they were coming.

"Uncle Wang is so interested in coming over to have a meal together, it seems that Yunchu is in the favor of Miss Ning." Mu Yunchu sat down with a smile.

Seeing that Prince Rui didn't refute Mu Yunchu's words, Ning Wen was a little shy: "My daughter is just following the princess' orders."

Prince Rui already knew that Mu Yunchu bought the food, although he was pleasantly surprised, but at this moment he was even more surprised by Ning Wen.

"The Southwest has always been poor, how can you receive so much food?"

Ning Wen said politely: "The poor are ordinary people, and the rich are still very rich. The war in the southwest, they dare not let the court know that they have food in their hands, but the courtiers trade with them as merchants, and the price is fair. Of course they wouldn't say no."

Prince Rui couldn't help frowning: "The common people don't dare to make deals with the imperial court?"

Ning Wen quickly explained: "It's just that the people in the southwest are like this. It seems that... they suffered some losses from the imperial court before."

Prince Rui immediately understood what was going on, and his face was livid with anger: "This Qi Yu, the court's reputation has been ruined by him!"

When his expression changed, Ning Wen was taken aback.

Mu Yunchu quickly comforted him; "Uncle Wang, Qi Yu has already contracted the disease and died, so don't be angry with him. Eat and eat, my niece is starving to death."

"Miss Ning didn't complain about being hungry all the way around, but you're almost starving to death." Prince Rui glanced at his son unobtrusively, and then looked at Ning Wen with a benevolent expression: "Miss Ning is really a A wonderful girl."

The prince: "..." Why does the king want to do this?

Ning Wen really didn't feel that she had made much credit, and she was a little embarrassed to be praised so much: "The prince has praised you."

After a meal, Mu Yunchu paid special attention to it, and found that Ning Wen didn't seem to pay much attention to her cousin.

After eating, Ning Wen wanted to go to see the accompanying guards first. Mu Yun had agreed, so she purposely called the prince to stop.

"What does Elder Brother Shizi think of Miss Ning?"

The prince was taken aback by the question, and after a while he said: "Not bad, I didn't expect that a girl like her could deliver food and grass for the army."

"It's just not bad, is it? Forget it, you go to your work."

The prince frowned: "Yunchu, do you have anything else you want to tell me?"

"What do I want to say, Brother Shizi, is he not sure? The one who has friendship with Aunt Wangfei is Ning Wen's biological mother, and the position of Shizi Concubine originally belonged to Ning Wen."

How could the son be counted, so he knew that Mu Yunchu wanted to say this: "My marriage with Ning Wen has been called off a long time ago, and the engagement with Ya'er has also been settled, so how could I regret the marriage? Besides, Ya'er is gentle and kind, if you have If we have the opportunity to spend more time with her, the misunderstanding will definitely be resolved."

"I do believe that she is gentle and kind. If she is not gentle and kind, she can't take away my sister's fiancé, right?"

The prince opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but was speechless.
