Chapter 1437 Meat Buns

Mingjia was worried, "Mom, I hope Fourth Brother won't be hurt."

The beatings from the aunt were very painful, and Mingjing often covered her buttocks.

Su Xuan smiled and said, "No, your aunt has experience and will not harm Xiao Si."

Mingjia, "......"

This experience must have been gained from Brother Ming Teng and Ming Jing.

Mingjia stood up and said, "Shall I go see Fourth Brother?"

"Don't go. Wait until your aunt has finished scolding Xiao Si before going. If you go now, your aunt will only make Xiao Si even angrier."

The elder sister-in-law will be even more angry because she is not as sensible as her younger brother.

Mingjia didn't dare to go over there, "Mom, I hope Fourth Brother won't blame me."

Su Xuan was not worried. "No, this kid knows everything. He just has a bad temper because he has been spoiled since he was a child. It's good to teach him a lesson. He will be able to control his temper in the future."

As she spoke, she patted her son's head. Minghui had the capital to throw a tantrum because his two older brothers supported everything. Her son was different. His temperament was a bit like hers, a bit like her husband's, and more like her, causing her worries.

On the contrary, she is a concubine, just like her husband. Her son has a father with little ambition, a sister with a rich life, and the only son of the fourth wife. She will have to worry too much about her son in the future. Alas, when will her son grow up? She can also relax.

In the evening, everyone who went to the yamen came back. No one sympathized with Minghui, and everyone agreed that Minghui should control his temper.

Mingyun and Mingteng came to watch Minghui together. The power of his two brothers combined was not more than twice, but doubled. Minghui finally put his hands together and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was really wrong, big brother, second brother, please forgive me."

He really reflected on it and will never do it again.

In Qizhou, Dong came into the government office carrying a food box. Chang Lian was resting on the table. He got up when he heard footsteps. When he saw it was his wife, he relaxed and asked, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Dong put the lunch box on the table and said, "I was afraid you didn't have any food, so I brought it to you personally."

Chang Lian got up and washed his face, his mind cleared up a lot, "I thought I just took a nap for a while, it's almost dark now, not to mention I'm really hungry."

Mrs. Dong put the dishes on the table. "I see from your face that you didn't sleep again last night?"

Chang Lian was really hungry. He took the bowl and took two bites before replying, "I didn't sleep well after a while. There are too many things going on in the city. You know there's not much food left."

"So where do we get food outside the city now?"

Chang Lian: "Some of the military supplies were diverted."

Fortunately, military supplies and granaries have always been managed and stored separately. General Liu took the initiative to borrow it, and then he realized that there were a lot of military supplies for defending the city.

Mrs. Dong was reluctant to talk about the military rations, so she only talked about her own family. "There are only two of us in our family, and we don't have many servants. Do you think we should donate some food?"

Chang Lian shook his head, "We have already donated medicine once, so there is no rush to donate food. I have already thought of a way. Many of the wealthy families in the state capital have their own manors. They have stored food. This time we can borrow a batch of food from them."

"They are willing?"

She didn't believe that they would borrow food. The last time they donated medicinal materials, the noble family didn't donate much.

Chang Lian's nasal tone became heavier, "They have to borrow food this time."

General Liu received reports from refugees and actually arrested a few instigators. The origins of these people were somewhat surprising, but they could be made into a big story.

Chang Lian whispered, "Don't go out recently. Wait for me to come back home. The states affected by the disaster are not peaceful."

Qizhou was the one that responded quickly, but Lizhou was the one in chaos.

Mrs. Dong took note and said, "Then I'll ask Fenmo to come back on time to get the meal."

Chang Lian nodded, "Okay."

He really needs to be well nursed back to health, the prefect, and recuperate. If he falls ill again, Qizhou will be even more unstable.

Two days later in the capital, the emperor smiled when he read the letter from the grassland tribes, saying that they could borrow troops to join the war, but the food and fodder would be the responsibility of the court. What was he thinking? They really thought he was a fool, and then the tribes would eat the food he gave and attack the army from behind. What a good plan.

Zhou Shuren was curious about why the emperor suddenly called him into the palace. When he entered, he saw the emperor reading a letter with a creepy smile.

The emperor laughed enough and handed the letter to Zhou Shuren, "The Yi Banner wants to lend us troops."

Zhou Shuren quickly read the letter and said with a sigh, what a good plan. This was the idea when he sent the princess to the palace. "Do you want to borrow this soldier?"

The emperor was delighted and said, "Lend it, why not? It's free meat buns delivered to your door."

Zhou Shuren understood that the emperor was preparing to make dumplings. "Your Majesty, did you ask me to come?"

"Food and hay must be prepared. Good quality food and hay must be prepared."

Zhou Shuren understood, "I understand."

This is to make some efforts on food and other supplies. The emperor got a lot of secret medicines from the Yao family and has been researching them for years. Who knows what kind of terrible poison they will come up with.

Now it depends on who can outsmart each other.

Moreover, the horses of the Yi Banner are all good horses. Not to mention that the emperor is greedy, he has been greedy for a long time.

The emperor borrowed troops from the Yi Banner tribe. The princess of the Yi Banner tribe in the harem was trembling. She took the gift to Aruna's palace and asked, "Why didn't my sister's tribe lend us troops?"

Aruna thought, because I have to be on guard against you, she hid the sarcasm in her eyes and said with a smile: "My sister's tribe has submitted to the emperor, and the tribe does not have as many soldiers as my sister's tribe. The existing soldiers have to protect the tribe's caravan, so I really can't lend them out. I am really ashamed."

Princess of the Yi Banner said, "We princesses of foreign tribes still have to rely on our own tribes."

Aruna touched her belly and said, "My sister is right."

The princess of the Yi Banner found it extremely boring. Aruna agreed with her no matter what she said. She also didn't like the jewelry she was given as a reward and left unhappily after sitting for a while.

Aruna didn't know whether this princess was really stupid or not, she only knew that after a while, she would not bother her anymore.

In Zhoujia Village, the news that the King of Qin was assassinated spread from the border. It was rumored that the King of Qin's life or death was unknown. Jiang Miaogang was a little panicked when he heard the news.

Jiang Miao quickly realized that something was wrong and calmed down. A war could break out at any time on the border. The news of the assassination of King Qin did not come from the capital but from the border. This was intriguing.

Seeing her sister-in-law's calm look, Jiang Muting couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried?"

Jiang Miao knew that her step-sister wanted a favor from her, but unfortunately she didn't want to give it to her. "This news must be fake."

"How do you know?"

"A war is about to break out on the border. The assassination of the King of Qin has affected morale. It is clearly a conspiracy."

Jiang Muting, "Is that so?"

She was thinking of sending someone to get the news, but now that's not the case.

Jiang Miao said to her mother-in-law, "Mother, I'm going to write a letter back to Beijing to ask. I'm going back first."

"good."

Dong Yiyi was happy that her daughter-in-law ignored Jiang Muting. As soon as her daughter-in-law left, Dong Yiyi said, "It's getting late. I won't keep you here."

Jiang Muting, "I don't have a place to stay when I go back to my parents' home?"

"Please."

She was able to hold back her anger and talk because of her husband's kindness, otherwise she would not have said a word.
