After losing my memory, I became a soft double for the general

Chapter 135
Su Mei asked Jin Chuan to hand over the 4000 taels of silver notes she had saved and the 3000 taels of silver notes in the box to Liu Lingshan, and said with a smile: "Now the Liu family is only supported by uncle alone. I plan to make an offer according to the market price, you choose three of the shops, open up one, and change this shop into a pawn shop, and let me think about the rest."

Su Mei paused for a moment, then said again in a short while: "Opening a pawn shop requires a lot of cash, presumably the money is far from enough."

Su Mei then ordered Jin Chuan: "Bring my house deeds and land deeds."

If the Qin family hadn't been ransacked and their property confiscated, wouldn't the Qin family have only these things.

Su Mei took out a house deed from the box, handed the rest of the house deed and land deed to Liu Lingshan, and said: "It's useless for me to keep these, why don't I sell them all for cash, if it's not enough, add gold The money earned by Ge and Jinxiu Your Excellency next month should be enough."

Liu Lingshan nodded, "Cousin, don't worry, I will not let my cousin down."

When she was in Yangzhou City, she had tried to find a way to inspect several famous pawnshops in the area. As soon as she entered the capital, she went to the largest pawnshop in the capital. After many days of study, she had already mastered the tricks of running a pawnshop.

Su Mei shook her head and said, "I plan to hire someone else."

Liu Lingshan lowered her eyes in disappointment, rubbed the corners of her skirt with her fingers, wanted to say something to fight with Su Mei, but thought that it was because her cousin felt that she didn't know how to run a pawn shop, so she planned to hire another person to take care of it.

How could Su Mei not know what was going on in her mind? She knew that Liu Lingshan was devoting all her attention to the two shops of Liujin Pavilion and Jinxiu Pavilion. She was also hard-working and studious, and she could endure hardships better than most men, which also proved that she did not misunderstand her at the beginning. .

It's not that she doesn't believe in Liu Lingshan's ability, but that she has other arrangements for Liu Lingshan.

Su Mei took Liu Lingshan's hand, handed over the deed of a house in her hand, and comforted her: "Your husband is studying in the capital, if you and your husband are not together, it will not be good for your relationship after all. , the location isn't too good, and it's not too big, it's just a gift from me to your newlyweds."

Liu Lingshan held Su Mei's hand, her lips trembled excitedly, her eyes were red, and she shed tears. Of course, she wanted to be with her husband, but it was Su Mei who was able to have today and live a life without worrying about food and clothing. Mei showed pity for her, even though she left early and returned late every day, she still felt happy in it, and she also wanted to be like Su Mei, to have her own shop one day.

Husband was born in a poor family, and was also born in poverty. After ten years of hard work, he passed the Juren examination. Husband is also a person who has lived a hard life. Naturally, he can understand her and support her.

But what she heard from her cousin was that she wanted her to come to the capital. Did she want to hire another person to manage the two shops of Liujin Pavilion and Jinxiu Pavilion?

Liu Lingshan suddenly felt her nose sore, tears streaming down her cheeks, she knelt in front of the bed, "If Shan'er has any deficiencies, please tell my cousin, Shan'er will definitely correct it."

Su Mei hurriedly got up to help her, Jin Chuan excitedly reminded loudly: "Miss, take care of yourself."

Jin Chuan hurriedly went to help Su Mei, and was relieved to see that Su Mei was fine. If Mother Shang knew that the girl bent down to get out of bed to help Liu Lingshan, she might be punished to behave properly.

Liu Lingshan hurried forward and said: "It's Shan'er's fault, I should have noticed when I saw my cousin lying on the bed just now, I was stupid and didn't know that my cousin was pregnant."

If ordinary people knew that she was pregnant out of wedlock, they would definitely look disdainful, but Liu Lingshan only had sincere concern in her eyes.

Su Mei nodded, her face was shy, and she lowered her eyes. Liu Lingshan knew that her cousin was Jiang Ling's concubine, and she was worried that she would embarrass Su Mei. .

Su Mei was worried that she might misunderstand, so she held her hand, "I don't mean what you think, both the Liujin Pavilion and the Jinxiu Pavilion can invite people, but you are the person I trust the most, I want you to come to the capital to help I."

Liu Lingshan was startled for a moment, knelt on the ground, and shed tears of gratitude again. She kowtowed to Su Mei a few times, "My cousin thought of it for me. Shan'er can't repay her. She should do her best to help her cousin!"

Although she was reluctant to part with those two shops, she was even more reluctant to part with her husband. She and Pei Ziyu had only been married for a few days, and it was the time when they couldn't part with each other. Even her cousin thought of this for her.

"The cousin took over the shop first, only as wages for helping me in the capital in the future."

Only then did Liu Lingshan agree to accept the deed, and kowtowed to Su Mei to thank her, then hurried back to Yangzhou, Liu Lingshan bought the shop from Liu Zecheng, and was preparing to open the pawnshop, so she invited a few cousins ​​from Liu's house to manage the three A shop, and returned to Beijing after a month.

Although Su Mei has been in Changwu Courtyard all the time, during this month, she spent most of the time lying on the bed to raise the baby, making clothes and hats for the unborn child, and embroidering patterns on the bellyband.

Since the beginning of summer in Beijing, it has seldom rained, and the weather is so dry and hot that it is unbearable. Su Mei is pregnant, and is more afraid of the heat than usual. Although she has been pregnant for three months, her lower abdomen is still flat, and there is no sign of it at all. Pregnant, still like a girl who has not left the boudoir.

In the past month, there has been no news of Jiang Ling, not even a letter to report her safety. Su Mei and Jin Chuan will occasionally go out to Qingfeng Teahouse to sit for a while, to see if they can hear any news about Jiang Ling, but Madam Shang Every time Mammy learns that she is going out, she will reprimand her a few words, only saying that the heat outside is unbearable, so be careful of heatstroke.

However, Shuozhou had been raining heavily for days. Since Jiang Ling came to Shuozhou and sent [-] elite troops to fight against the Uighur tribe, and won a small victory, he has been standing still.

He sent spies to report that the Uighur tribe and the Daxian Kingdom had secretly colluded, and the Daxian Kingdom had sent 30 troops to Shuozhou, and they would arrive at the city of Shuozhou in a few days.

Jiang Ling was discussing the battle plan with his lieutenant in the tent at the moment.

It rained heavily in Shuozhou for days, and it fell from morning to night every day. After Jiang Ling came out of the camp, he went to inspect the city wall in person. If there was a heavy rain in Shuozhou, if the Uighurs used water attack, they should first build dams to intercept the river water, and then let the river flow If the embankment breaks and floods Shuozhou City, not only Shuozhou City will fall, but the people of Shuozhou City will also suffer.

He has begun to arrange for the people to leave the city. In order to avoid war and flood disasters, the people fled to neighboring counties.

Seeing Jiang Ling leaving the camp with a serious expression, Mu Feng hurriedly followed. He led the soldiers to reinforce the city and discuss the battle plan. He hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.

He still had injuries on his back, and because he hadn't rested for several days, his complexion looked extremely bad, and even his lips had no trace of blood.

Mu Feng stepped forward and said, "General, will this subordinate give you medicine?"

Jiang Ling pinched her eyebrows and nodded.

While changing Jiang Ling's medicine, Mu Feng said, "General, the 30 army of Daxian Kingdom is already on the way. If the 30 army arrives, I'm afraid the city of Shuozhou will not be safe."

Jiang Ling's face was gloomy. How could he not know the current situation in Shuozhou? He had already sent a letter to the capital, asking His Majesty to send troops to support him, but those letters fell into nothing. When the Daxian Kingdom's army arrived, the 40 army was not enough to compete with them.
