The two secret guards stared in a daze as Xia Daohua calmly filled the entire warehouse, and stared in a daze as the sacks of rice in front of them "grew" high out of thin air, almost falling from the beams.
The two secret guards looked at each other and smiled bitterly. As soon as they saw the other party's stupid look, they knew that they were not much better.
How could I have witnessed such a thing? How should I report it?
The superiors must be thinking that they are being lazy or hysterical, right?
This time, Xia Daohua really didn't notice the presence of the two secret guards. After she finished dealing with the food, she went out to meet the person who was coming to take over. There was still a quarter of an hour before the agreed time, but she heard a sound outside the door and knew that the person had arrived.
Xia Daohua opened the door of the warehouse, and the sunlight poured down. She walked out of the warehouse covered in the sunlight. The warehouse behind her, which was originally empty, had become full.
The person in charge of the warehouse had come here before after handing the key to Xia Daohua. He didn't see any grain at that time, but now he saw the warehouse that had been filled up without knowing when, and his eyes widened instantly - they had been paying close attention to this place, but they didn't see any carriages coming in? !
Was it shipped overnight?
The messenger who came to collect the grain had already greeted Xia Daohua with a smile:
"Madam Xia, we meet again!"
"Madam Xia, how are you?"
The two envoys sent by the other side turned out to be acquaintances - one was Wu Zongguan, whom he had met in the palace a few days ago, and the other was Li Gan's personal guard Li Shisuo.
Xia Daohua was stunned for a moment. The probability that the two people were acquaintances was too small.
However, she became happy in an instant - Li Shisuo's appearance here, does it mean that Li Gan is not far away? Since they parted last time, Li Gan sent her letters at first, but then the letters became less and less, and then there was no news at all.
The appearance of Li Shisuo at this time, does it mean that even if Li Gan and the others encountered any trouble, they have now escaped safely?
Li Shisuo and Manager Wu exchanged a few words with Xia Daohua and then began to inspect the grain.
This was business, and it took priority over everything else. And Manager Wu was still there, so Xia Daohua didn't know if it was appropriate to talk about Li Gan in front of him.
Manager Wu took the lead and personally checked the quality of the grain with a pick. He checked a few bags and saw that the rice grains were round, full, crystal clear, and clean. He could hardly contain his joy and surprise.
The people who came with Manager Wu and Li Shisuo were also stunned when they saw the quality of the rice.
Grain of this quality is really cheap according to the price of summer rice.
What’s more, Xia Daohua hasn’t received the payment for this first batch of military rations yet!
The two of them went back to report the decree with satisfaction, and the two secret guards also quietly returned to the palace to report the decree. Before leaving, when Li Shisuo passed by Xia Daohua, he stumbled and bumped into Xia Daohua.
He hurriedly bowed to apologize, and Xia Daohua also bowed gracefully to indicate that she didn't mind.
Manager Wu glared at Li Shisuo fiercely and said, "You are not worthy of being on the stage!" He also smiled and apologized to Xia Daohua, and even specially told Xia Daohua a piece of news that he had not planned to mention before:
"Madam Xia, the Emperor highly values your contribution and will reward you soon."
Xia Daohua thanked him with a smile and stuffed a purse into his pocket: "Thank you very much! Thank you for your consideration."
Manager Wu weighed the purse, which was light and soft, and must contain banknotes. He was immediately very satisfied: "Mrs. Xia's generous and forthright character is indeed well-deserved."
"Thank you, thank you..."
The handover was completed, and Wu Zongguan, Li Shisuo, and Xia Daohua all left the warehouse. As for the grain in the warehouse, it was guarded and transported by the warehouse officers and soldiers brought by the two men.
Xia Daohua found a teahouse, asked for a private room, ordered a pot of Lushan Yunwu tea and some snacks to go with the tea, watched the waiter bring the tea and snacks and arrange them one by one, told the waiter not to disturb her, watched the waiter step out and close the door of the private room, then she impatiently opened the wax ball that she had been holding in her hand.
