after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 803 Timely Rain

Chapter 803 Timely Rain

"I heard that the army's rations were in short supply, so I found a bodyguard team to buy brown rice and rough noodles worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Xiao Qiuyue has no way out, the medicinal materials have been robbed long ago, only the price of food is normal, he followed the bodyguard team, took a shortcut that few people knew, and met no robbers along the way.

However, when the war broke out in the northwest, the caravan had stopped taking goods, and he found out only when he arrived in Qincheng that the price of goods was getting higher and higher, even surpassing that in the capital.

"You are so timely!"

Lin Yuesha lamented that this was the most difficult time for her, but it was easily solved by Xiao Qiuyue.

The food and grass of tens of thousands of taels of silver is enough to support the soldiers of the Northwest for a period of time to meet their urgent needs.

"In order to buy grain, I humbly became a storyteller. No, I only got a bag of round-grained rice."

Lin Yuesha drank a big sip of tea and spent the day telling stories, but now her voice is hoarse and her mouth is dry, she really shed tears of bitterness for herself.

"It looks good."

On the contrary, Xiao Qiuyue comforted Lin Yuesha very easily. Because of the climate in the Northwest, rice could not be grown, and there was a war. A bag of round-grained rice was considered a rare commodity. She definitely made more money than ordinary storytellers.

"It can only be used as a psychological comfort."

Being ridiculed by Xiao Qiuyue, Lin Yuesha breathed a sigh of relief, at least the current shortage of food and grass has been temporarily alleviated.

"The down jacket you made is light and warm. I bought one in Qincheng at a high price."

The common people are very appreciative of down jackets, and use the duck down saved from killing ducks in their own homes, plus a sum of money to exchange for down stocks.

Lin Yuesha's business expanded rapidly, and now it has reached several surrounding cities, booming.

However, what Xiao Qiuyue brought was not all good news.

"I came from Qincheng, and I heard that the North Land has fallen into the hands of the Wei family, and the caravan is prohibited from transporting grain and grass in large quantities."

This means that the grain and grass in the north cannot be supplied, and it all depends on buying rice from the south, because the price of grain continues to remain high due to the long distance.It really made the guys in the shop talk, buying more grain is not just as simple as doubling.

As for military supplies, Xiao Qiuyue can't help much, what he can do is very limited.

On the way, he led the Qiuyue class to rehearse a few plays of defending the country and defending the country, and he was ready to go on stage and sing his voice at any time.

"There is no rush to get on stage, you guys rest for a day or two first."

The generals of Da Qi had just recaptured the border town, and the situation had not yet stabilized. Furthermore, although the foreign race retreated, they captured Xu Da, and there was still a fierce battle ahead.

Lin Yuesha settled Xiao Qiuyue, handed over to the bodyguard team, counted the amount of grain and grass, and sent the bodyguard team to transport it all the way to the grain depot in the border town.

After working almost all night, Lin Yuesha felt a little bad when she returned to her room, but she was too tired and fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, Baicha yelled twice, but he didn't get a response for a long time.

"Miss, the village chief you saw yesterday brought someone with him, and he should have come to reply to your letter for the purchase of grain and grass."

Bai Cha stood by the bed, thinking that her young lady was sleeping too late, so she didn't take it to heart.

After waiting for a while, Lin Yuesha remained motionless, and Baicha panicked.

"Miss, why is your forehead so hot!"

Baicha opened the gauze curtain and saw that her young lady's complexion was flushed like cooked shrimp. She immediately stretched out her hand to test it, but was shaken by the heat from Lin Yuesha's forehead.

No, Miss has a fever!

"White tea, water."

Lin Yuesha barely opened her eyes and moved her fingers, but her body weighed a thousand catties, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.

Her throat was dry and sore, and her throat was swollen.

"Miss, this servant is going to serve tea."

Baicha put a pillow on the head of the bed, and then helped Lin Yuesha up. The master and servant made a lot of effort, but it was just a simple movement, which made Lin Yuesha break out in sweat.

"Miss, this servant is going to ask a doctor to show you."

Fever is not a trivial matter, Baicha is impatient, and now Qi Heng is busy with the war, so he doesn't care about his young lady at all.

"You said the village chief is here?"

In a daze, Lin Yuesha seemed to hear Baicha mentioning that the village chief came so quickly, maybe there was a turning point in her grain purchase.

"Oh, miss, what time is this? You still care about those trivial things. Your body is the most important right now."

Bai Cha was very excited and blamed Qi Heng in his heart.

It's all because of Ma Zilian's insistence on coming to propose marriage and dragging his own lady into the water. Now, under the identity of the major general's wife, she has been making silent contributions and being a free coolie.

The war has been so intense recently, Miss can't sleep for a few hours a day, and her body can't take it anymore.

"Just ask the doctor to find someone to run errands. You go to the village chief and pass the word on."

Lin Yuesha turned positive. She had worked so hard and couldn't fetch water from the bamboo basket at a critical moment. If she guessed right, the matter of buying food would be over.

"As long as the conditions proposed by the village chief are reasonable, you will agree on my behalf and let him return to the village to wait for news."

After asking Bai Cha a few words, Lin Yuesha stopped talking.

Just now, she almost lost her voice. It should be the fever caused by inflammation of the tonsils. Simply reducing the fever is useless, and the cause must be found from the source.

Bai Cha went out for a while, and excitedly entered the door to announce the good news: "Miss, you are really good at predicting things. The village chief discussed with the village chiefs of several surrounding villages, and agreed to sell the grain and grass from the grain depot to the generals of Daqi as military supplies."

It's not a high price, just charge a little more than the purchase price to keep the cost. In addition, the highland barley rice produced by itself is traded at the price before the food price soared.

"That would be great!"

Lin Yuesha slapped her hands, but her hands were limp and had no strength.She thought she was going to experience some twists and turns, but she didn't expect the village head to send good news so soon.

"However, they have a small condition..."

Before Bai Cha finished speaking, the condition was that Lin Yuesha must finish the story of Journey to the West.

After Lin Yuesha left last night, the village head called people to discuss. Unexpectedly, those people were not interested in selling it to Daqi's military supplies, and collectively opposed it. Instead, they became addicted to listening to Journey to the West.

The village chief rambled on until late at night.

Everyone kept asking, but in the second half, the village chief himself hadn't heard it yet.

No, the other party quickly agreed to the conditions and urged the village head to deliver the letter. The matter of food and grass is easy to discuss, and they also want to hear the follow-up of Journey to the West.

"Miss, the people in the village don't know a lot of Chinese characters, and there is no theater troupe in Wucheng, so I can only rely on going out and listening to the rumors, and then tell the villagers when I come back."

Every time a villager returns from outside the city, everyone will gather at the grain-drying ground, bring a small bench to listen, bring their own tea and melon seeds on the bench, and it will be more lively than the New Year.

Most of the villagers, whose ancestors stayed in the village, have never been out of Wucheng. They don't even know that there is a place like spring all year round, and it doesn't snow in winter.

It's rare to hear a good story, and the villagers couldn't stop. They dreamed about Monkey King making troubles in the Heavenly Palace in their dreams, and they still couldn't get enough of it when they woke up.
