A moment later, a captor found a lot of food in a small gully not far from the ancestral temple.

Let's go and have a look.

However, when seeing the scattered grain in the gully, many people yelled.

The beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on were all scratched into bags and then scattered into the gully.

There is also a bag of flour, sprinkled on the ground is full of white flour, stained with soil and morning dew, all dirty.

People in the village hate to waste food. So much food is enough to feed a lot of people. Now they are all wasted by that animal!

"Everybody help to pick up the good ones." Sister Li greets everyone.

So the women in the small ancestral hall and many onlookers went down the gully one after another to help pick up the beans and potatoes. Although they were dirty, they would be fine after washing.

Qin Zheng said to Xu Qing, "it's not peaceful around Qingfeng town recently. It hasn't rained for so many days. It seems that there is a sign of drought. We have to go back."

Xu Qing thanks them. Recently, several people have told her that there may be a severe drought, which makes Xu Qing have to pay attention to it.

If it's going to be a drought, we have to prepare early.

We just picked up the grain in the gully, and wasted most of our energy. When we picked it up, we went back to the ancestral hall and cleaned it quickly.

Qin Zheng, Zhao's daughter-in-law, didn't take it away. He said that there are many things in the Yamen now, and no one has time to deal with such things. So he asked Xu Qing to hand them over to the patriarch.

The patriarch asked Xu Qing what he meant, and finally asked Zhao's daughter-in-law to return a bag of flour to her, just the amount of the bag scattered in the gully.

We all take it for granted. After all, Xu Qing has not asked Zhao's daughter-in-law to compensate for the smashed things in the small ancestral hall. He is very tolerant.

After the incident, another headache happened to Xu Qing.

I don't know what happened this year. It's not going well all the time.

Li Jing and Gao Laoer are robbed on the way to deliver goods. A box of cakes is kicked to the ground, and everything inside is broken. Gao Laoer and Li Jing are also injured.

Although Xu Qing said at the beginning that they were in danger on the road, they should bear all the consequences themselves, but at this time, Xu Qing can't really ignore it.

Gao Laoer and Li Jing both went to see a doctor in the town. Xu Qing took them with them, so they paid for the medical expenses by the way. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured, so they could take care of them.

Without the delivery person, Li Changting can't walk, so Xu Qing can only suspend business with zuixianlou.

Half a month later, Li Changting was able to go down to the ground for a little movement, and said to Xu Qing, "let's go shopping in Jizhou."

Xu Qing doesn't know what he wants to buy, but she has a lot of leisure now, so she just wants to go out for a walk.

They rented a carriage and drove from Qingfeng town to Hezhou City.

Xu Qing's first visit to the city, the city is much more lively than the small town, everyone's dress is also more decent, there are many shops in the small town.

As soon as Xu Qing and Li Changting entered the city, Yu Boming got the news.

"Go and buy food first." Li Changting said, "Qing'er, we have to make preparations early."

Xu Qing immediately understood Li Changting's meaning, nodded and said, "OK."

However, before buying food, Yu poming sent people over to invite them to the Yu family.

When Xu Qing saw the majestic gate of the Yu family, he said to Li Changting, "this gate is at least twice as big as Xiao Zhiyin's

"Do you like it?" Li Changting asked her.

"Make do with it." Xu Qing didn't feel much.

Yu's housekeeper invited Li Changting and Xu Qing to Yu Boming's study.

"Long time no see." Yu Po Ming's boxing road.

Xu Qing said with a smile: "I decided not to sell cakes without authorization. Don't be angry."

Yu Po Ming smiles and reaches for them to sit down: "why, I've heard about the injury of your two delivery men. Recently, the bandits around Qingfeng town are very arrogant. Those people actually come from the northwest. You don't know, there's a disaster in the northwest."

Xu Qing and Li Changting looked at each other. Xu Qing said, "we are here today to buy grain."

Yu Po Ming nodded: "it is necessary to prepare more food. When you have bought it, I will choose a team of escorts to escort you back."

Yu Boming knows that Li Changting's foot injury is not good. If Li Changting's foot injury is good, he doesn't need any escort.

Li Changting said impolitely, "do you have a vacant room? Please arrange a place for us."

Xu Qing said, "are we going to live here?"

Li Changting: "how can one day be enough to buy things."

Yu Po Ming said: "although you stay in my house, there are many empty rooms."

Xu Qing embarrassed smile: "that trouble you."

"No trouble. I have one thing to ask brother Li." Yu Po Ming didn't avoid Xu Qing's being here. He said directly, "the fake Yu Yan in Prince Lin's mansion sent me a letter earlier, telling me not to do anything superfluous. What do you mean?"Li Changting said, "she means that you sent someone to help Yu Yan's father in the name of King Ming."

Yu Po Ming frowned slightly: "isn't she Princess Lan's person? Why do you care who the king of Ming is

"She belongs to Princess LAN, but she is also" Yu Yan ". She holds the lifeblood of the Yu family. Won't she use the Yu family to help her? When you get out, you turn Yu Yan's father into the king of the Ming Dynasty. Once Yu Yan's father really becomes the king of the Ming Dynasty, she will be in danger. The king of the Ming Dynasty will not let go of such a good chess piece. "

Yu Po Ming was silent for a moment: "so, why do you want me to send someone to point out Yu Yan's father in the name of King Ming? Who will benefit from this? "

But Li Changting didn't want to say anything. He just said, "what's the difference between king Lin and King Ming? This time, if it wasn't for Qing'er's sister's suffering and Qing'er was worried, I wouldn't care so much about the mess."

Yu Po Ming saw that he didn't want to say anything and didn't ask any more. Anyway, he had already stepped out of the capital. Those things in the capital had nothing to do with him. He never wanted to set foot in that place again.

"Why don't you hang out in my house." Yu Po Ming said, "the scenery in my house is pretty good. If you have something to look at, just take it back."

"Really?" Xu Qing looked at him incredulously, "are you being polite to me?"

Yu Po Ming smiles and looks casual.

Yu poming arranged an elegant courtyard for Xu Qing and Li Changting, facing the lake, with a very beautiful scenery.

Xu Qing has no leisure to see the scenery. She takes out a pen and paper and prepares to write a shopping list.

"Ah Qing?" Xiao Zhiyin's voice came outside the door.

Xu Qing went out and asked, "have you moved to the Yu family?"

Xiao Zhiyin was surprised: "how do you know?"

Xu Qing She was just joking.
