Si Jinxing stretched out his palm, gestured towards Lan Xiangan, and said:
"Five hundred thousand stones!"
Lan Xiangan was dumbfounded when he heard this!
After a long pause, he said:
"My dear little ancestor, are you serious? Where did you get so much rice?
That's 500,000 shi! Enough food for 300,000 troops for half a year!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and said, "I don't know what I thought of.
"Kid, are you doing something behind my back? This is unacceptable..."
Lan Xiangan stopped talking after he had said half of his words.
He thought secretly, no, no, Xing'er was more anxious to deliver food than he was a few days ago!
Now, why would it be unnecessary?
When he thought of this, he became even more curious about where her food came from!
Why was this kid so anxious to raise food a few days ago that he even encouraged everyone to donate silver!
Isn’t it just to buy food?
So, her food is newly available?
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing chuckled and said to Lan Xiangan:
“Uncle San, don’t worry about where this food comes from!
Just ask, if I sell this grain to the court at the market price, is that feasible?"
Lan Xiangan nodded seriously without even thinking, and said:
"Of course you can!
If it is true as you said, and there is such a batch of food, it will solve a big problem for my Longyin soldiers!
I'll go to the Ministry of Revenue right now. Where is your grain now?"
Si Jinxing stopped the man and said:
"There's no rush for this. I'll take care of it tomorrow morning!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiangan looked at his little niece suspiciously.
This girl always asks when we can set off north, but today she is not in a hurry. It is really strange!
But he did not ask any further questions. They had already waited for so long to transport the grain, so one night wouldn't make a difference!
After Si Jinxing came out of Lan Xiangan's study, she went to Old Madam Lan's yard, took her pulse, and checked her wounds.
General Lan stood aside, looking at his little granddaughter, and couldn't help but laugh:
"You girl, you are so bold to say that you are a matchmaker?
It was He Wenqin who was so casual and didn't kick you out, but he actually nodded! "
Madam Lan reached out and tapped Si Jinxing's forehead, saying:
"From now on, don't worry about these messy things. You are still a girl, just have fun!"
Shen, who had returned from the Lan Mansion, said with a smile:
"What mother said is not true. Our family cannot survive without Xing'er!
Take Chen'er's marriage for example. Who would have thought that Miss Xia is such a shameless person?
If it weren't for Xing'er, I'm afraid the marriage would have been arranged and the date for the engagement would have been set!
I’m really scared! "
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Lan also said:
"I am really scared. They say you can judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. You should not judge a person by his appearance!
How about your trip to Hefu this time?"
When Shen heard this, she smiled and praised:
"The He family is truly different. Lord He and Madam He have been saying that Xing'er and Chen'er are good children.
I have also seen the young lady of the He family. She is beautiful and intelligent, and her words and actions are very polite.
My wife thinks that since she can play well with our Xing'er, she must be an easy-going child.
At this time, General Lan reminded:
"Tomorrow, when we go to Princess Chang'an's mansion, we must be more cautious, and... that's all.
It’s getting late, you all should go back.
Xing'er, can you stay at home tonight?"
Si Jinxing glanced at his grandfather. What was the other thing he hadn't said?
She smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm busy, so I won't stay overnight.
Let’s play some other day!”
Now that General Lan has retired, he finds it boring to stay at home every day.
Si Jinxing taught him how to play Gobang, checkers, Candy Crush, poker, mahjong and other casual games.
The old man was a studious person. In just a few days, he had learned everything!
Especially for playing mahjong, he is very passionate and addicted!
He even forced his second uncle, third uncle, and six cousins who lived at home to learn together, so that he would have someone to play with!
When the old man heard this, he nodded and said:
"Okay, then call your second and third uncles and we'll play four rounds!
Those who lose must admit their mistakes!"
Si Jinxing agreed with a smile, saying that she would definitely win and make him cry, then said goodbye and left.
Lan Xiangan sent him to the gate of the mansion and repeatedly reminded him:
"Those things must be kept under close watch."
Si Jinxing nodded, whispered a few words to him, then turned around and got on the carriage, galloping towards the County Lord's Mansion on Xuanwu Street.
Soon, the carriage slowly stopped outside the county lady's mansion.
Si Jinxing was supported by Qingchan. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the housekeeper of the Si Mansion next door waiting outside the door.
Seeing her come back, the housekeeper immediately stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Second Miss, the master wants you to go back."
Si Jinxing glanced at the gate of the Si Mansion and walked towards it.
After she entered the yard, the housekeeper said:
"Second Miss, the master is waiting for you in Lihua Garden."
When Si Jinxing heard this, she knew without thinking that Si Jinyun was probably going to do something weird again!
When she stepped into the gate of Lihua Garden, she saw a haughty old woman standing outside the door!
Seeing her approaching calmly, the old woman said with a sullen face:
"Second Miss is so arrogant! A whole room is waiting for you!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing slowly pulled out the whip in his hand and said casually:
"How dare a servant interfere in the masters' affairs?
Tell me, which hand or foot do you no longer want?"
When the old woman saw the whip, she remembered that a few days ago, the second young lady had whipped the two old women in the yard with a whip!
This second young lady is so ruthless!
Those two old women are still lying on the couch, unable to get out of bed!
The old woman dared not say anything more, and wisely lifted the door curtain and said:
"Second Miss, please."
Si Jinxing didn't bother with her and walked straight into the door.
When she entered the room, she found that, just as the old woman outside the door had said, the room was indeed full of people.
Si Junshan sat in the first seat, followed by Si Jinyun. Even Zhou, whose lower body was paralyzed, sat in a wheelchair.
Si Jinxing took a look at the wheelchair and decided to go to Jirentang another day to ask Zhao Yu how much the wheelchair was sold for.
Sitting below them were Si Jinyi and Si Jinheng, and the last seat was Wen.
In addition, there were three people sitting opposite.
Zhou's second brother from her mother's side, Zhou Bai.
Zhou's elder sister-in-law, Zhou Song's wife, Zhou Lin's mother, Zhang.
Zhou Lin, Zhou's nephew, son of Zhou Song, and cousin of Si Jinyun.
Si Jinxing was really surprised that Zhou Lin was so impatient!
She took a few steps forward, looked at Si Junshan, and said expressionlessly:
"Oh, the mansion is so lively, it seems that relatives are coming!
Why did you call me here?"
