The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 607

At night, Chu Xu undressed and went to bed first, and Shi Chuying carefully tucked the bed curtain tightly before lying down.She poked Chu Xu and wanted to say something.Chu Xu sneered twice, raised his arm to close her body, and hit her with the other hand.

Seeing that he would make a mistake, Shi Chuying could not help but twist her body, "I have something to tell you."

In the darkness, Chu Xu smiled lightly, "It's not too late. I'm listening." His body followed suit.

The next day when Chu Xu went to the Ministry of War, Shi Chuying regretted that she forgot to say this. Early in the morning, the sky was overcast and the clouds were low. The wind is also thick with humidity.

Shi Chuying asked Chu Xu and Shi Geer to bring coir raincoats and bamboo hats before going out, and even the clogs to be brought by someone around; she also kept Youyou by her side, not letting her go out and run around, so as not to get wet in the rain, and the spring cold It is easier to get sick than the cold in winter.

As soon as the steward sent the reply, the big raindrops fell down with a crackling sound. The girls hurried over to close the window, and Yoyo insisted on lying on the window to watch the rain. Erfei was also lying beside her, with his two little heads together Staring out the window.

The rain was heavy, with strong winds blowing, and the smell of mud soon filled the air.Seeing the swaying branches and leaves outside, Shi Chuying thought of the big waves and hurricanes that often occur by the sea.

"It's Aunt Yulu!" Yoyo yelled, clapping her little hands.

Shi Chuying looked up again, and saw Yulu coming from outside the yard holding an oil-paper umbrella.The strong wind blew the umbrella in her hand, and Yulu had to clasp the umbrella handle tightly with both hands to prevent the wind from blowing the umbrella away.

Seeing the girl hiding from the rain in the porch, she quickly took a straw coir raincoat and put it on, and then ran into the rain with another one, and hurriedly put it on Yulu, and the two of them ran in a hurry.

Yulu went to the corridor to change her clogs, ripped off her rain-soaked clothes, shoes and socks, and had no choice but to get a towel to wipe it off.

Huixue picked up the curtain and came out from the inside, saying: "Ma'am, tell Sister Yulu to go into the house quickly. We have clothes that can be worn, so hurry up and change them, so as not to catch the cold." Although Huixue's group came later , but in terms of age and qualifications, they are not much worse than those of the younger generation, so they are usually considered as sisters.

Yulu thanked her, and the two went to the house where the girls lived together.

"Why are you here in the rain?" Shi Chuying greeted Yulu to sit on the small pier and talked, and returned to the snow with hot tea to drive Yulu away from the cold.

Yulu took a few sips, and said: "Isn't this slave girl thinking of dealing with it quickly, and I don't know if it will rain for a few days, and it will really delay things even two days later." Then, she took out a few pieces of paper from her lapel After checking it, it turned out that it was not wet, so I handed it to Shi Chuying.

"Fortunately, we are backed by the General's Office. Just now, the steward of the outer courtyard received a letter from the south, saying that there was a big wave over there, and the small houses by the sea were gone..."

Shi Chuying and Yulu were talking, and Yoyo also blinked her big moist eyes and leaned over, listening quietly.

Yulu has always liked her, so she hugged her and sat in her arms.

"...They said, don't use our inland wooden furniture over there. It will rot within half a year. You can either use rattan, red sandalwood, or huanghuali. The good wood in the south will naturally withstand it. Southern climate."

After chatting for a while, Yulu pointed to the list and said, "These people were all selected after two rounds of seafood tests. There are 78 people in total. Madam will bring those. We have to make a quick decision." Yes, good job."

Shi Chuying unfolded the list and looked at it, picked up the Luo Dai pen and wrote down a few, "Just these people, give each of them a two-day vacation in turn, and give each of them five slings of money, and go to the street to have a look and buy some. What. It's the same for the manager, just five slings more."

Yulu complied, and then sighed: "According to the servant girl, I don't want to bring embroidered screens or anything. Those things look good, but they are too delicate. Once the sea breeze blows, it will probably be broken in less than half a month." Out of the hole."

"Let's bring a few less items, none of which don't look like anything." Shi Chuying thought for a while, "I've discussed with the general about the furniture, and I have people go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy it now. It's not necessary to bring things that are too big from Beijing. Just bring some boxes and cages and the like. The screen can be removed and put on, it’s nothing, just be more careful.”

Yulu nodded yes.Then he said: "I heard from the stewards of the outer court that the food in the south is cheaper. Did we bring some food with us or buy it on the way?"

This is also the big head, Shi Chuying and Chu Xu discussed it, "Let's just bring less food for the road, the general has already arranged people to go south to buy it."

This time Chu Xu brought [-] elite soldiers. These people needed to eat and drink. The first batch of food and grass prepared by the household department was only for the early stage.

It is conceivable that many people consume food and clothing, and no businessman is willing to miss this opportunity. Therefore, the price is naturally easy to negotiate, and filial piety is indispensable. No wonder everyone loves being an official.

Therefore, raising troops and using force are quite costly.

"It's just that we still need to bring more dry goods from the mountains and fields, and send what can be delivered in the village as soon as possible, as long as we can fit it. We just went, and the taste is hard to change. Eating those seafood every day is just a I'm afraid I can't bear it.
