Chapter 1452 Want to Break Off the Engagement

Why does he feel like he's become an old mother?

Emperor Taishang, "The more capable, the more work."

Zhou Shuren, "......"

If it wasn't for the people, he wouldn't want to see them starve to death. He really didn't want to worry about it; it was too tiring.

The next day, at Pinggang, Rongchuan saw General Hou. Hmm, General Hou smelled like fish. "General, what's this?"

General Hou looked sullen. "I personally went on this cruise and when I came back the ship was full of fishy smell. I washed my clothes several times but they still smelled of fish."

Rongchuan thought of himself, he also wanted to come into contact with the sea fish.

General Hou said, "The King of Qin, please."

Rongchuan followed General Hou to the place where the fish were stored. General Hou explained, "I have requisitioned the icehouse in Pinggang, but there are too many fish and many are left in the open air. Fortunately, it is winter and they are not easy to spoil."

Rongchuan walked into the open air. Hmm, this taste is too sour and refreshing. His eyes fell on the seaweed again. "General, you have worked hard."

General Hou didn't feel it was hard, he just felt it was a bit torturous and tasted terrible.

Time is life. After Rongchuan got familiar with the situation, he started to work. Several workshops employed family members of soldiers, and paid them half of the wages and half of the money in fish cakes.

Although fish cakes contain more rice bran and rice grains, they are still very popular. If you add more salt, they can be stored for some time.

Rongchuan's job went smoothly. After the first batch of fish cakes were delivered, Rongchuan felt like he was about to become a fish.

Fishing not only catches fish, but also seafood such as shrimps, which need to be sorted and put away. The valuable ones can be sold to merchants without asking for money, only in exchange for food.

The only people who were truly short of food were ordinary people. Those with some wealth had stored food, not to mention the wealthy families who had fertile fields and manors, not to mention that some precious seafood was able to exchange for a lot of food.

Some foreign merchants would also exchange some food for food.

With the success of Pinggang fish cake, workshops were set up in other ports one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. Fish cakes were now divided into several grades. The good ones were military rations, and the others were relief rations. No one could suffer loss but the soldiers who guarded the country. As the territory expanded, they were still needed to suppress it!

Some fish cakes were also exchanged with merchants, who then exchanged them for cornmeal, rice bran, etc.

When Rongchuan came back, Xuehan was about to leave the confinement period. Rongchuan spent every day in the workshop, and no matter how many times he washed, there was still a faint fishy smell on his body.

Xue Han endured the discomfort in her nose and said with concern: "You have lost weight."

Rong Chuan's nose was so smoky that he could no longer smell his own scent, but knowing his wife well, he knew that he still had a scent. This time, he couldn't go to see his son. "I'm going to take a shower."

Xue Han hurriedly pulled him back, "Don't go, there are red marks on your neck. You must have washed it many times."

Rong Chuan's neck hurt a little when he moved. He had also soaked flower petals, so he didn't tell his wife. "I can only wait for a while for the pain to fade away."

"Now that you're back, who's in charge?"

Rongchuan, "Ming Teng and Xu Chen are both responsible."

Xue Han was happy, "Wait until Ming Teng comes back and cries to you."

"I am doing this for their own good, to strengthen their will."

His will was strengthened by the tempering he endured, and the two children he brought up also had to go through the same experience.

In the main courtyard, Zhulan read Yushuang's letter. "This kid said the price of seaweed has gone up a lot."

Mrs. Zhao, "Yes, my husband and I are planning to go see her. My husband bought a lot of seaweed. The price of seaweed has been rising recently."

Zhulan put down the letter and asked, "Have you packed your luggage?"

"It's all packed."

If they hadn't been waiting for their sister-in-law to finish her confinement, they would have set out half a month ago.

Zhulan said, "I have prepared two carts of food for Yushuang. You can take them back together."

Now that there is food in stock at home, there is no need to worry, so sending food is the most appropriate.

It is not the time of greatest food shortage yet. The grain has just been harvested in autumn and the situation will only become serious next year. I am afraid that the temperature will not be high next year. The grain production in ancient times was too depressing.

Zhao said, "Mother, my husband and I have prepared food."

"You are preparing as parents because you love your daughter, and I am preparing to show my love for her."

Zhao had no choice but to accept the words, "Your daughter-in-law thanks you on behalf of Yu Shuang."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"We will be careful."

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Xue Han to finish her confinement. She returned to Prince Qin's Mansion. Because the child was sick, Xue Han did not dare to bring the child to the palace.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager and the Emperor who went to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to see the child.

In a blink of an eye, Changyi and his wife set off for Zhangzhou, and they brought Yudie and Mingfeng with them.

Mingrui sent his parents out of the city, and when he turned around he was startled, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Bo's hair was covered with snow, and he looked at the carriage eagerly, "I didn't catch up."

Mingrui folded his cloak and looked at the box in Yuanbo's hand. "What's in your box?"

Liu Yuanbo was thinking in his mind whether he should catch up or not, but his hands were smarter than his brain and he had already whipped the horse.

Mingrui came in a carriage. He just walked in front of Liu Yuanbo's horse to talk. Now the horse galloped out, raising snowflakes, and a gust of wind blew over and sprinkled on Mingrui's face.

Liu Yuanbo didn't pay any attention to his uncle at all, his eyes were fixed on the convoy in front.

Yudie moved her ears in the carriage, and Mingfeng asked in confusion, "Sister, what are you listening to?"

Yudie, "I think I heard someone say wait."

Ming Feng curled up in the quilt and hugged Mrs. Tang tightly, "Sister, you only heard the sound of the wind wrongly."

Liu Yuanbo's horse quickly caught up, and the team stopped. Changyi opened the carriage window and asked, "Yuanbo, are you here to see me off?"

Liu Yuanbo was nervous about his future father-in-law. His father said that his future father-in-law was a ruthless man. "Yes, I heard the news and prepared something."

Chang Yi smiled. Whether his future son-in-law was a thief or a good father-in-law, he would still be very good at pleasing his father-in-law. He stretched out his hand to take it, "Good boy, I appreciate your kindness."

Liu Yuanbo was silent. What he prepared were all things that Yudie liked. He didn't know if his father-in-law would be angry in the future. Probably not.

In the end, Liu Yuanbo could only meet Yudie through the car window, and Liu Yuanbo was happy.

The servant covered his face and said, "Sir, please stop laughing."

Liu Yuanbo, "What?"

The servant told the story of how the young master had made Mr. Zhou covered in snow. Liu Yuanbo, "......"

Chang Yi's cheerful face froze after he opened the box. "If I remember correctly, these are all snacks and candies that my daughter likes?"

Zhao almost choked with laughter, "Yes, they are all the girls' favorites."

Chang Yi's face darkened. "I feel that my judgment in choosing a son-in-law is not good. Do you think it is possible to cancel the engagement?"

The eldest brother's son-in-law often sends good things back to honor his father-in-law. But he, the eldest son-in-law is away, not to mention sending things back, is always thinking about the eldest son-in-law. In the future, the younger son-in-law will be very picky, and it makes me jealous just thinking about it.

Zhao squinted and asked, "What do you think?"

Chang Yi closed the box in frustration. Then he told his daughter that he had prepared it and Liu Yuanbo had nothing to do with it.
