The Imperial Concubine Chef - C101
On the first day of the new year, Shangguan Lin and Xiao Tong were still “relying” on their Su Family. When they saw that there was a guest at Su Family, they knew that she was Madam Su’s nephew. A few days ago, someone found out that Su Xinyu had a cousin who was an officer in the army. This time, even more people did not dare to bully the orphans and widows. After all, just by looking at cousin young master’s demeanor, one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
Naturally, Shangguan Lin had a smile on his face when it came to treating his neighbors. Besides, he had always envied the homes of these people. Listening to them chat was also an unprecedented pleasure. Xiao Tong was a talkative person, compared to master, these ordinary citizens would definitely be more willing to have contact with the servants of rich families. So Xiao Tong was familiar with these people. Thus, in the next few days, he went back and forth between their courtyard and Su Family, treating him as one of his own.
The year passed by quickly. Thirteen in the blink of an eye. These days, Su Xinyu would meet with Wen Ling almost everyday to chat. She would even stay at Wen Ling’s place to cook a good meal every now and then. The two of them chatted as they ate.
To Su Xinyu, chatting with him was an extremely happy thing. She could say whatever she wanted to. Wen Ling would not ignore her opinion just because she was young, and even more so, would ridicule her fantasy just because she was a woman. In this world, for there to be someone who could listen to his various ambitions, Su Xinyu felt that this was her greatest fortune.
But the day of separation was always so close.
Shangguan Lin was just about to set off for the Wen Jiang front. Su Xinyu taught him all the hemostatic medicine she could make. Ling Ge, you must protect your own safety. Also, tell Big Brother Yong that his family is still waiting for him to return home safely. ”
Shangguan Lin was really envious of Tian Liyong. But then, he saw Su Xinyu looking at him worriedly. “His heart was instantly filled to the brim.” Good. Now that I, Wen Ling, have someone to worry about, I will remember not to let anything happen to myself. ”
He had to be bullied at home to say such words. Su Xinyu’s heart ached. Wen Ling was a junior high school student in the modern world. However, he was going to fight to protect his family and country, and even participate in the fight for the throne. “What kind of danger is this?” That’s what you said, and I’ll remember it all. “If something happens to you, I’ll decide to ignore you.” Even so, he was both naive and naive. But Su Xinyu could tell that Wen Ling cared a lot about his friend. Besides, he was only eleven years old, so he had the right to be childish.
Shangguan Lin rejoiced in his heart, “Alright. I promise not to hurt a hair to come back to see you. You have to be careful. Once the battle started, there might be some unforeseen events. Money was important, but not life. Do not be stingy in any trouble that can be solved with money. If Zhang Ziyi fails to protect you, remember to go to the army camp. ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “Mn. You’re even more long-winded than I am. No one knew who was going to the battlefield. Do you have anything to eat? I’ll make it for you. ”
Thus, on the day before Shangguan Lin left, he spent an entire day to make a table full of delicious food. Furthermore, they all used the food from the space.
Shangguan Lin left on the fourteenth day of the first month. He had initially said that he would leave after fifteen years, but in reality, he had already delayed for a few days. The situation in front of him was constantly changing, and it was impossible for him to use his will to change his mind.
After Shangguan Lin left, Su Xinyu’s mood was downcast for quite a few days. The lantern festival at Haian City was clearly much more lively and beautiful than the one at Shang An County, but she was still not in the mood for it. Standing at the door, he watched Hu Ya hang the lanterns she bought. She looked at the bustling street and how happy everyone was. She sighed. It was likely that at this moment, on both sides of the Wenjiang River, there was not a single trace of joyous celebration. It was unknown how many soldiers and soldiers separated from their families every day.
His daughter was in a terrible mood. Su Wenlan was extremely worried. Taking the chance that Hu Ya and Hu Ya were looking at the lanterns. “She took her daughter into the house.” Xinyu, tell Mother, what happened to you? ”
Su Xinyu sighed: “Mother. Why do you think there must be a war? Using the lives of countless people in exchange for the wealth of a few. “How cruel.”
Originally, Su Wenlan thought that it was because her daughter had fallen for the Young Master Wen that she felt sad about the departure of the Young Master Wen. But she didn’t want his daughter to do it because of this. “But she was relieved, and as sad as her daughter.” Sigh. What can ordinary people like us do about this? With the courage to stand at the frontline, how can we not be worried? ”
“Yeah. I asked the Ling Ge to bring a hemostatic medicine for the Big Brother Yong. However, it could only stop the bleeding. The swords and sabers in front of the two armies have no eyes, what if something happens to him?
“That’s right. But you can’t tell him that. When he left last year, I couldn’t bear to part with him. This child is a realist, he definitely won’t do any dirty tricks when we get to the frontlines. ”
As the mother and daughter chatted, their emotions naturally grew more and more depressed. Fortunately, Hu Ya and her sister came back very quickly. The two of them carried large bags of items and two beautiful lanterns in their hands.
Madam, Young Master, these are all gifts from others. But he could not take the lamp for free, this was what Hu Zi guessed. This is a carp lantern I bought. “When we burn it, it will definitely help us get rich and safe.
Seeing that the people beside them were still immersed in the joy of the new year, Su Xinyu and Su Wenlan quickly relaxed. After all, the most important thing was to be the first one. Most of them could only send their blessings. After all, none of them could control it.
At the end of January, the news of the Warm River War finally spread throughout the country. The Haian City was very close to the capital, so for the time being, they were not affected, but they were anxious. After all, war was the most terrifying thing in the hearts of the people. What’s more, there had been rebel soldiers in Wenjiang for a long time. It looked like it had not been resolved even now.
On this day, Hu Ya came back from the outside, her face full of anger. Su Xinyu did not know what happened, so she asked: “What’s wrong?”
Hu Ya told Su Xinyu, “Young master, there are people talking nonsense like Big Yan who has run out of energy, causing everyone to be hoarding their rations. The price of the soy sauce and vinegar in the oil salt shop rose. The most irritating thing was that I went to buy a pot, and even the smithy was closed. They said that they had gone back to the countryside to avoid the war. Where and where? cousin young master and young master Tang can definitely beat up those criminals and make them piss their pants and scram! ”
Su Xinyu frowned slightly. You stay at home and guard the door, I’ll take a trip to the grocery store. ”
Seeing Su Xinyu, Zhang Ziyi hurriedly moved his subordinate to the back. Young Master Su, what do you want me to do? ”
Su Xinyu frowned: “I believe that the Uncle Zhang already has people spreading rumors in private.”
Zhang Ziyi was startled, he never thought that Su Xinyu would care about this matter. But since her young mistress had asked. “Then he would have to answer.” Yes. I just got the news. She was about to report to her master. Have you heard anything? ”
Su Xinyu shook her head. Today, I heard the Hu Zi telling me that the grain store was closed, even the blacksmith shop was closed. It seemed that the rumors were not a rumor for a day or two. To be able to make the commoners believe this, the person who spread the word must not be an ordinary person. Right now, the war was still so far away from Hai An, but it had already closed down many businesses and affected the lives of the people. Therefore, this matter could not be underestimated. In order to find the person who spread the rumor, we must do so as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Ziyi felt that this young madam could make him have a whole new level of respect for her at all times. A little girl could think of so much from a servant’s words. And every word was on the point. “This has to be admirable.” I understand. I will report this matter to General Li and Chief Officer Yamen right now. No matter what happens in the magistrate court, Young Master Su doesn’t need to believe it. ”
Hearing Zhang Ziyi’s words, Su Xinyu naturally understood where the source of the rumor came from. Good. I hope this can be resolved quickly. Ling Ge and the rest were at the frontlines fighting for their lives, but these villains were causing chaos in the hearts of the people behind them. His heart can be destroyed! ”
“Young Master Su is right, but this court is far more complicated and bizarre than the business world. It’s hard to guard against most of the time. Young Master Su, I advise you to temporarily stop showing off for the time being. He could buy a few stores in the chaos. This world will be in chaos for quite a long time. It will not be hard to get rich, but it is definitely a rare opportunity. ”
Su Xinyu immediately understood that in the battle between the two princes in the capital, the old emperor was at death’s door. Wen Ling had never hidden the truth behind this big war in the Wenjiang Empire, which showed that the imperial army was suppressing the rebel soldiers. How could she not understand? Although it was hard for a country to get rich, Zhang Ziyi’s words were not without reason. “Then I’ll ask the man with the teeth to help me find a suitable store.”
Zhang Ziyi waved his hand, “There’s no need for those people. What do they know? In fact, each party had their own businesses in various places, one was to gather intelligence, and the other was to amass wealth. As long as one side fell, a large amount of silver would be used to protect their lives. At that time, it would be easy to take over their business. I’ll do it. The left will not let you suffer. However, this is not a matter of the near future, so don’t worry. ”
Su Xinyu nodded: “Then I will have to thank Uncle Zhang. This nephew is extremely grateful. ”
Zhang Ziyi didn’t dare to accept the gratitude of this mistress. You don’t have to be so polite. This is what I should do. ”
When Su Xinyu returned home, she pretended that nothing had happened. But he told his family that the stall was closed. Now that the situation was uncertain, it was better to keep the food for yourself. She found an opportunity to take out ten bags of grain and rice like the others and pretended that they had been collected at a high price in the countryside. Then she got someone to help him carry them home. Because it was gifted to Hu Ya when she was in a hurry to go to school, only then did she know that she was unable to help.
But how could Su Xinyu let her help him? Don’t think so much. I also brought them back while it was dark and there were few people on the street these days. Otherwise, if we pull it ourselves and the neighbors see us, will you be willing to lend it to us? ”
Although Hu Ya was smart, she had never doubted the words of her young master. “That’s true.” With that, the two of them walked to the side of the rice bag. The 50 Jin bag of rice was ground by machines in the space, so its quality was absolutely incomparable to the rice here. Furthermore, the things that Spirit Spring nourishes are the same. Hu Zi picked up a handful of rice, and then, the candlelight shone upon them, showing their sparkling and translucent appearance. Young master, this rice is too good. A lot of silver, right? ”
Su Xinyu nodded, “That’s right. This was also because that family had a high price, yet they also wanted to take action in a hurry. How else can I buy it? Hurry up and move them into the cellar. We don’t have to worry about food and drinks anymore. “
