Chapter 578: Shabei Pass
Huo Bingshuo comforted Su Ruoqing and told her not to worry.
After being comforted by Huo Bingshuo, Su Ruoqing stopped thinking about it and felt a little more relaxed.
But she still accompanied Huo Bingshuo to the study after dinner, wrote an urgent letter and asked someone to send it to Hezhou.
…
Su Xueyi was actually the first to learn about the war at the border.
He and the emperor often exchanged letters, so the emperor would also tell Su Xueyi about the news in the capital and some news of the Great Yan Dynasty in his letters.
In fact, Shen Yueyao admired the emperor for trusting Su Xueyi so much.
Or perhaps because of the emperor's personality, they are more willing to be nice to him.
With such a good emperor, the entire Great Yan Dynasty should usher in a prosperous era.
In the letter, the emperor told Su Xueyi that Beirong was gathering troops and seemed to be preparing for a war.
The emperor immediately sent General Zheng to lead 100,000 troops to the border pass of Shabei Pass.
Shabei Pass is a natural barrier that isolates the Great Yan Dynasty from the Northern Rong. Once the Northern Rong captures Shabei Pass, they will advance straight into the capital and even break into the capital.
If that happens, the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be in danger.
Therefore, there must be no problems at Shabei Pass, and it must be defended.
General Zheng was an experienced veteran general. He led 100,000 troops to Shabei Pass, which was relatively safe.
However, after reading the letter from the emperor, Su Xueyi's expression became cold.
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi's solemn expression and asked, "But what's the problem?"
Su Xueyi showed the letter to Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she could hardly sit still.
"fight!"
Once it comes to war, things become serious.
Moreover, the Shabei Pass connecting to Beirong is very close to their hometown, Beidi Yunzhou.
"No, I need to write a letter to my parents quickly."
Shen Yueyao selfishly wanted her parents and third brother to come to Hezhou.
But Liuhe Village and Xinghua Village both have their own industries.
There is also a farm with cotton and rapeseed, and a workshop, such a big workshop, and there are many people in the workshop.
The managers told her this when they wrote to her, and everyone worked diligently.
Everyone outside also said how grateful they were to her.
If she only let her parents come to Hezhou at this time and ignored these people, she would feel uneasy.
Shen Yueyao said: "Or I can go home myself."
Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao's expression and knew what she was worried about.
"Don't worry, the Northern Rong haven't reached the border yet. When the emperor heard the news, he immediately arranged for General Zheng to go there. There are also soldiers guarding the Shabei Pass, with 30,000 troops."
Although she said so, Shen Yueyao was still worried.
She also knew that it would be best for her to stay in Hezhou now, as there were still many things in Hezhou that needed her to deal with.
Shen Yueyao thought about it and could only write a letter to her parents first.
A few days later, Shen Yueyao also received a letter from the capital.
There are letters from Old Madam Su and Su Ruoqing, as well as letters from Dong Wenren.
Now Dong Wenren has entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi. As long as they work diligently, the emperor will promote them quickly.
Although Dong Wenren was in the capital, he also lived in the Su family. He would write to Su Xueyi to tell her any information he had.
Everyone also told what they knew in the letters, and they were all related to the war at the border.
…
Su Ruoyun was obsessed with running the restaurant well every day.
But the restaurant business she opened is indeed very good.
The main reason is that the dishes are very new, the taste is unique and the prices are reasonable, so many people come to Yunlailou to eat every day.
At the beginning, Su Ruoyun was very busy, but later when she saw that there was no problem in the operation of the restaurant, she stopped being busy and only took charge of management matters.
As for the restaurant's accounts, Xiao Lenghan helped her check them every day.
Xiao Lenghan was very quick in calculating and could spot any discrepancies at a glance.
So the accounts are checked quickly every day, and Su Ruoyun will see them after they are checked.
This way Su Ruoyun feels relaxed every day.
She looked at Xiao Lenghan with eyes that were very bright, as if she was looking at a treasure.
Since Xiao Lenghan helped her so much, Su Ruoyun would prepare delicious food for Xiao Lenghan in different ways every day.
Of course, I also carefully treated his wounds and changed his dressings.
So Xiao Lenghan recovered from his injuries quickly.
Although Xiao Lenghan's injuries had healed, he also said that he had nowhere to go, so Su Ruoyun was eager to keep him.
"Xiao Lenghan, you still need to take good care of your body, so you should stay in the restaurant."
"How about I pay you a salary every month and make you delicious food every day?"
Although the chefs cooking in the restaurant's kitchen are all her apprentices, they were taught by her and have good cooking skills.
But their cooking skills still can't compare to hers.
Although her cooking skills can't compare to Third Aunt's.
But she thought the food she cooked was still good.
At least Xiao Lenghan ate all the food he cooked in different ways.
He seemed to still enjoy the food she cooked.
Xiao Lenghan had been with Su Ruoyun for a long time and knew her lively personality. Seeing her blinking her big eyes at him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You want me to help you settle the account."
"No, I want you to stay with me too."
Su Ruoyun was telling the truth.
I don’t know why, but Su Ruoyun likes to talk a lot in front of Xiao Lenghan.
Maybe he was very patient, or maybe it was because he was the one she saved.
Su Ruoyun didn't understand why either.
Xiao Lenghan now had a smile on his face, no longer as cold as he was at the beginning.
When Xiao Lenghan heard this, his heart moved.
But looking at Su Ruoyun's appearance, he sighed in his heart, she was still a little girl.
What she said was just childish talk.
Xiao Lenghan didn't take it too seriously.
But this girl is quite capable. She runs a good restaurant business. She can do accounting and read books. Although she sometimes speaks in a fanciful way, her insights are not comparable to those of ordinary girls.
Will you accompany me?
For the first time, someone said she hoped he would be with her.
At this moment, Xiao Lenghan felt needed.
Looking at her eyes and eyebrows that were curved and bright, Xiao Lenghan was at a loss for words to refuse.
"If you're tired of running a restaurant, you can just open a small restaurant."
Su Ruoyun shook her head and said, "I don't feel tired. Look, once the employees are trained, they can just go about their work. I can only manage them at best."
"Actually, I can manage the accounts myself, or I can hire an accountant to do it, but I trust you the most. You are so capable, so it's better to let you manage it."
"I feel very relaxed now."
As if thinking of something, Su Ruoyun said: "Xiao Lenghan, you are so capable, you must be a good learner as well. Have you ever thought about taking the imperial examination?"
In Su Ruoyun's opinion, many people with some knowledge would think about taking the imperial examinations and gaining fame.
Even when we were in Liuhe Village, everyone looked up to those scholars.
Su Ruoyun thought that if Xiao Lenghan wanted to study, she could help him enter the academy.
He helped her with her accounts, and she gave him some wages every month so that he could concentrate on his studies.
