Chapter 247 Sending salt during the New Year, is it because you don’t want him to be too idle?
Speaking of this, Jiang Jing was also curious: "Originally, the war was about to break out, but it didn't happen. There were only some minor frictions between the two countries."
Jiusu guessed: "Is it because we destroyed King Chang's secret base?"
"Eighty to ninety percent." Jiang Jing's arm was numb, but he couldn't bear to move it. He lowered his shoulders and said softly, "Now our relationship with Prince Chang has completely deteriorated. The secret military training has been exposed. Even if he is not implicated, it has destroyed his desire to rebel. I'm afraid he has fallen into a dilemma."
Jiusu said disappointedly: "What a pity, there is no evidence pointing to Prince Chang."
Jiang Jing said, "In March and April, envoys from various countries will come to Xu State to pay homage. If Prince Chang is really colluding with other countries, he will inevitably be questioned. He is like an ant waiting to be exploded, anxious and frantic."
The moonlight lengthened the two figures lying neatly on the bed.
It was getting light.
He suddenly turned his head and saw that the woman had misty eyes and was grabbing the quilt, looking at him warily. His body stiffened and he reached out to pick up the woman.
"Last night, you took the initiative."
"Don't, don't say things that will cause misunderstanding." Jiusu coughed lightly, put on his shoes without taking off his coat, and took the initiative to be lonely.
Watching her busy movements.
Jiang Jing asked: "A Su, thank you for your trust."
Jiusu was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he was so serious, she knew what he was referring to. In ancient times, people were jumping wildly between conservatism and recklessness. Her eyes were clear and she tilted her head and smiled.
"Then Mr. Jiang, please don't let me down." She opened the door and gave him a hug... uh, her eyes widened. "Is it snowing?"
Jiang Jing followed and held her under his cloak.
Snowflakes fell in front of their feet. She stretched out her hand, and he took it back.
"cold."
Seeing that she couldn't win the fight against him, Jiusu dragged her into the yard. Snow fell, and she was pulled into his arms, leaving only a pair of misty eyes.
She looked at the falling snowflakes with joy.
It's inevitable that there is a hint of sadness.
"After the heavy snow, it will be a real winter, right?"
"Yeah, it's very cold. Ah Su, don't worry. All the houses in Chenjia Village have been covered up." Jiang Jing went to check and saw that the stove was burning inside, making it especially warm. "Wear a down jacket when you go out. You won't be in danger of your life."
The factory is also close to the village and can be reached in a few minutes' walk.
As soon as fine salt is produced, it will be supplied to the soldiers at the border. The first batch has been sent away. As for the next fine salt produced, Jiusu plans to transport part of it to Shengjing first and the rest to the border.
That afternoon, a batch of fine salt was transported to Shengjing.
Du Chenchen imported a large amount of goods at the end of the year.
Jiusu smiled friendly and said, "It's all thanks to old acquaintances who take care of the business. I'm sending Mr. Du a jar of salt and wish you a happy new year."
"Uh...thank you." Du Chenchen scratched his head. Sending salt during the New Year, is it because they don't want him to be too idle? Hahaha, he remembered something, "I might get married."
Jiusu silently took out another small jar of salt and handed it over, saying silently: "Then, then I wish Mr. Du a happy wedding in advance."
Du Chenchen smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know whether she's happy or not, but she's quite unfamiliar. I've never met her before, and her family introduced her to me."
The two walked to the office.
After Zitan brought in the tea, he stood guard at the door.
Jiusu asked in confusion: "Are you in such a hurry? Getting married is no small matter."
"My father was away on a business trip when he ran into bandits from Camel Mountain. They killed the slaves who were following him. He was about to be killed when my family happened to pass by and saved him." Du Chenchen lowered his head and clenched his fists, unable to express the feeling in his heart. "The two of them talked about it, and Master Quan said he had a daughter who was still unmarried..."
Jiusu understood and continued, "So, the marriage was decided. Master Du is quite open-minded. How could he do such a thing?"
Du Chenchen said, "Father said he was drunk and had no memory of what he did, but the paper did have the Du family seal on it, so he had no choice but to agree to the marriage."
Suddenly.
Jiusu raised her head and asked, "Mr. Du said they were bandits from Camel Mountain, right?"
He nodded in response.
She was skeptical.
"I know a thing or two about the bandits in Camel Mountain. They rob the poor and give to the rich, but they don't seem to be killing innocent people. Is there something mysterious about this?"
Du Chenchen's eyes lit up and she asked, "Miss, what you're saying is that someone is pretending to be a bandit from Camel Mountain, and this marriage was a scam from the start! Someone knew that my father liked to use the family seal, so they got him drunk and then stole the seal, which led to this marriage!"
Cold sweat broke out on Jiusu's back.
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
She said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Since Master Du has seen the appearance of the bandit, and he is the boss of Camel Mountain, I can write a letter to Luo Wanjia and ask him to come and meet Master Du. Then the truth will be revealed."
"Thank you, young lady. I will go back to Gan County right away and ask my father to come and meet me!" After Du Chenchen bowed deeply, he untied the horse's harness and galloped onto the horse.
The driver shouted, "Sir, I'm here too!"
Du Chenchen waved the whip: "You can go back by yourself!"
Take a ride? The driver looked at the carriage that was lying on the ground without the support of the carriage, and then looked at the horse that the young man had ridden away. What kind of carriage would he take?
Do you want to be a horse yourself?
Jiusu said: "How about you stay here for a few days?"
The driver shook his head and refused, seeming very anxious.
"No, please lend me your horse. I will protect your safety and follow you everywhere."
"Sure." Jiusu asked Qian Junjie to prepare. She had just walked into the factory and looked at the driver behind her. She felt more scared than anxious.
Will I be killed if I can’t catch up with Du Chenchen?
She asked, "Zitan, has this groom been here just now?"
Zitan nodded: "He just came and said he wanted to urge Master Du."
Jiusu's eyes darkened slightly: "What were we talking about when he came?"
"Uh, it seems like it was during the time of the bandits?" Zitan recalled, "I even asked him if he was afraid of the bandits, but he didn't say anything. I don't know what he was thinking."
Jiusu turned around and saw him staggering onto the horse, as if trying to catch up with Du Chenchen.
She walked out quickly and said, "Disciple, go catch up with the groom and see what he wants to do. Remember, don't get caught. This may affect Master Du's life."
When I heard it was my good brother’s lifelong event.
Qian Junjie patted his chest and assured: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for accepting the 'Earn 64,000 Taels' mission. Complete the mission and receive 88 Gold Leaves.]
Gold leaves have arrived.
Jiusu immediately entered the system store, but even if all these gold leaves were exchanged for down jackets, they would not be enough for the soldiers at the border. "It would be great if I could buy them here."
Buy? She sat up from the sofa.
Jiusu's eyes fell on Chen Linghua, who was counting the goose, and he waved at her. When she came closer, he asked, "Is there anyone raising geese in the village?"
"Yes," Chen Linghua said, "Sister Ayun's mother raises geese at home, and there are several other families who have geese at home."
