The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 579 Kindly Remind (5)
Cui Manru stomped her feet and left in a hurry.

If Xiao Mingyu saw two people walking out from behind the rockery, he would definitely be terrified for a while.Because one of these two people is the elder Han Ge, and the other is Han Xiang, the eldest grandson of the Han family.

Han Xiang looked in the direction Xiao Mingyu was leaving, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, cousin Mingyu is a sensible person."

Han Ge stroked his beard and smiled, "He is indeed a sensible person, and he understands a little too much at a young age. I don't know what will happen in another ten or twenty years."

Han Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Grandfather, should the Cui family send a letter to say something? Although Cui Manru can't make waves, she always responds to others. Now the second brother is also going to say goodbye, stay I'm afraid it's not suitable for Cui Manru to be in the mansion."

Han Ge nodded his head, "You can handle this matter, and write to Cui's family after the opening of the new year. Our Han family should fulfill our responsibilities as relatives, and don't bother with the rest. You can also remind Han Zhan, don't worry about it. Flirting everywhere, be careful with this old man."

Han Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, "Second brother is too good-looking, which is also a sin. If you don't do anything, just stand among the girls, and you will attract mad bees and butterflies."

"Haha, all the sons of our Han family are good-looking." Elder Han Ge laughed very complacently.But in an instant, with his expression restrained, Elder Han Ge ordered, "Go and call that girl Ming Yu, and take this opportunity to have a good talk with her."

"Grandson obeys."

Xiao Mingyu came out of Han Huo's room, the girl was holding a box in her hand, this was Han Huo's New Year gift to Xiao Mingyu and Brother Cheng.

After leaving the courtyard of the big house, a girl who looked unfamiliar walked towards her.The girl greeted Xiao Mingyu respectfully, "I have seen my cousin. The old man asked my cousin to go over and talk. Let's go this way."

Xiao Mingyu was surprised, "You said that my grandfather asked me to come and talk?"

The girl nodded, "Exactly, the old man is waiting for this meeting, cousin girl should hurry over."

Xiao Mingyu was suspicious, but still followed the girl to see Mr. Han Ge.

Han Ge always met Xiao Mingyu in the study, and when he saw Xiao Mingyu come in, he motioned for her to sit down and talk.Xiao Mingyu felt a little uneasy. He had already met her before, so why did Mr. Han Ge want to see her again.Could it be that something happened?Or Han Ge always has something to explain.

Mr. Han Ge cut to the chase and asked directly, "Ming Yu, everyone says you are a smart girl. I ask you, what is the current situation in Zhongzhou?"

Xiao Mingyu felt uneasy, lowered her head, and said respectfully, "Reporting to my grandfather, my granddaughter thinks that the situation in Zhongzhou is getting worse and worse."

Han Ge raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xiao Mingyu with deep eyes, "Tell me your reason."

"Granddaughter complies. Although the court's army is currently at a disadvantage, granddaughter thinks it's only temporary. The situation in Prince Qin's Mansion looks like it's booming, but it's actually been going downhill from the very beginning. At the beginning of this year, several provinces were hit by natural disasters. , Food is scarce, so that refugees are rampant. Zhongzhou has many mountains and little land, and there is not enough food in good years, let alone disaster years. If the life of the people under the imperial court is difficult, then the life of the people in Zhongzhou is even more difficult. For To appease the people, the Prince Qin’s Mansion had to open a warehouse to release grain. The Prince Qin’s Mansion had stored enough grain through the Zhongzhou Fan’s family, but as no food from other places entered Zhongzhou, no amount of food would be consumed one day. The granddaughter ventured to guess , Maybe the Qin Palace has already started to worry about the food issue. The granddaughter heard that King Ning has joined forces with many big grain merchants to attack the Fan family in Zhongzhou. If the Fan family can't buy food, it means that the Qin Palace can't buy food. No matter how much food is stored, one meal is one less meal. My granddaughter boldly estimates that after the spring of next year, there will inevitably be a riot in the border of Zhongzhou, and the root of the riot lies in the food."

Elder Han Ge nodded slightly, "Zhongzhou is short of food and needs to buy it from outside. Everyone in the world knows this. Apart from this, you have other opinions."

Xiao Mingyu thought for a while, and said: "Food is one aspect. In life, one must not only eat enough, but also live well. Food, clothing, housing and other aspects related to people's livelihood, in fact, Zhongzhou cannot be self-sufficient. Buy outside. The common people tighten their belts, as long as they have food, they can last for a while. But the aristocratic families in Zhongzhou, can they accept such a life? I don’t think so. Even better, it’s just getting more and more sad. If at the right time, someone can persuade a few of them to join the imperial court, maybe the whole of Zhongzhou will be able to break free by then.”

Han Ge's eyes flashed brightly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said nonchalantly, "Then who do you think can be persuaded?"

Xiao Mingyu pondered for a while, and then said, "My granddaughter thinks that Sima's furniture can be persuaded by the Song family."

Han Ge raised his eyebrows, "Tell me the reason."

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, "The Song family's position has never been so firm. It can be seen from the Song family's secret contacts with the capital. As for the Sima family, everyone says that the Sima family is the right arm of the palace. The words are indeed good. But the Sima family has a rule from their ancestors, that is, they do not get married in the palace. This rule is understandable, but the granddaughter still finds it very strange. Could it be said that the ancestors of the Sima family predicted today's situation from the beginning and planned ahead? , That's why I set this rule for future generations. Regardless of whether it is true or not, based on my granddaughter's intuition, the Sima family's loyalty to the palace is not as high as others seem. If the Sima family can be persuaded, this war should come to an end. "

"Haha, I really have some ideas." Boss Han Ge laughed.

However, Xiao Mingyu was under unprecedented pressure, because Han Ge's old aura was in full swing, and the aura was so strong that Xiao Mingyu had to lower his head.

Elder Han Ge stopped laughing instantly, "It seems that you do have some unique ideas about Zhongzhou. If the old man wants to end this war as soon as possible, do you have better ideas?"

Xiao Mingyu raised his head slightly, and said cautiously, "My granddaughter has a humble opinion that the prince of the palace does not get along with the second son Zhou Zhi of the palace, and the prince seems to like the second son Zhou Zhi more. This may be a breakthrough."

Mr. Han Ge stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, "Sure enough, I have some ideas. No wonder everyone says you are smart. Tell me, what you want, as long as I have it, I will satisfy you."

Xiao Mingyu's heart beat like a drum, he was stunned, and forgot to react for a while.

Old Han Ge narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Why, are you afraid that the old man will go back on his word? Does the old man seem like a person who doesn't keep his word?"

"No, that's not what it means." Xiao Mingyu shook his head again and again, "Grandfather, granddaughter didn't do anything, but just said a few words with grandfather, how can grandfather spend money."

"Hehe, you girl is really a sensible person. I don't lie, I can promise you one thing, and you can bring it up. Don't worry, since the old man has opened his mouth, he will naturally keep his promise. For example, if you want to marry A certain cousin, the old man can also decide to agree."
