With the spring rain pattering, the flowers and plants in the house become more and more green. Shen Jingli stood by the window in his cloak. The laughter of several children was ringing in his ears. However, he could not drive away his deep worry.

He stretched out his hand to grab the mantle on his tight body, and the cold of spring was attacking his body inch by inch. Clearly, he still felt cold through his thick clothes. He was listless and could not get up his spirits when he remembered that Mu Chen had been to the Northwest for many days and had not received any smile.

When she looks back at Shen Jingli, she looks at each other and shakes her head helplessly.

Since the master left, his wife often stood by the window in a daze, listless, and lost her former anger. If Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Qingsheng had not come to talk with him all day long and talk funny things to make him laugh, they really did not know what his wife would have become.

In the evening, xun'er and Huaixin are very clever. They take their own quilts and children's books, and children's words and children's language help Shen Jingli's loneliness.

In addition, the two young masters make trouble from time to time, which also distracts him a lot. However, there is no news from the northwest. Shen Jingli is still sleepy and worried about Mu Chen for fear that he will encounter trouble on the road.

"Sister in law, steward Wang has something to report. I've brought him here and I'm waiting in the side hall." Mu Jin stood at the door and knocked at the door. After Mu Chen went out for the war, he became calm. He seemed to realize that he could not give Shen Jingli any time as before. Therefore, during this period of time, he not only studied harder, but also began to learn how to run business.

The baby played for a while, and now she was deep asleep. The house was so quiet that the only sound of the water tank outside the window was the ticking of the rain.

Shen Jingli didn't come back. Because he couldn't get a response, his worries and anxieties bit by bit bit bit bit into his heart like ants. He was worried that Shen Jingli would not be able to think about it. He was worried that Shen Jingli was suffering too much. He could not talk to him because he didn't know what to say, so it would not have a negative effect.

"Sister in law..." He whispered again.

"Let him wait a moment, and I'll be right there." Holding out his hand and closing the window, Shen Jingli turned around and said, "you go and talk to steward Wang first, and I'll come right away."

Shen Jingli knows that his family is full of heart. They don't let him be alone, and they are afraid that he will think nonsense. In fact, they have worried about Mu Chen. Indeed, he is very worried about Mu Chen, and he is depressed because of Mu Chen's leaving. However, he knows his identity and what he should do. As for his silence, he was worried because he cared.

Mu Jin is still a little worried. He holds the door and looks at Shen Jingli anxiously. Jinyu touches the shoulder of Nianhua and signals him to follow Shen Jingli in. He goes to Mu Jin's side.

"Don't worry about the Lord. Your wife is just thinking about things. She won't be upset." Xun jin'er said that he was worried about the situation, but he looked back at the front of the house.

Mu Jin is very studious recently. Every time the steward of the shop comes, he will be pulled by him to ask for business questions. He is the master, and he is often shameless to ask. All the stewards are willing to share their experiences with him.

When Shen Jingli Fu came in, he and Wang Guanshi were talking about the change of rice price this year. After the heavy snow a year ago, the rice price had a rising trend. Under the spring rain, the rising trend was more obvious. Even the price of oil and salt also went up. They discussed whether the price of rice would rise or fall in summer, whether their fields should have more grain or not I'll change it.

After listening to Mu Jin's reasonable and well founded argument, a smile appeared on Shen Jingli's face. Standing at the door and listening for a while, he found that Mu Jin had a lot of ideas and had his own set of views on doing business.

Maybe he is very suitable for business, Shen Jingli thought in his mind. "Sister in law, you are here. Why don't you come in?"

"Shen Jingli, Wang Jingli, will be in charge of things."

Shen Jingli sat down and looked up at Mu Jin. At the beginning, the thin, little, malnourished child was as tall as he was. After a period of time, he might be taller than him. He was no longer the silly boy who would cry at his wits' end. He had a clear goal in life and knew how to go in the future.

Time goes by so fast, so fast that I can't catch anything. The life worth remembering is over.

"How is it going?" Wang Guanshi has been with him for two or three years. Shen Jingli is still at ease about his ability to handle affairs. He sent him to the south to transfer grain from the three warehouses in the south to the northwest and northeast to provide support for mu Chen.

"The first batch of grain has reached the northwest, but..." Wang Guanshi's face was dignified. He looked at Shen Jingli and felt that he was not good at handling affairs. He suddenly knelt down. "It's the slave who is not good at doing things. I'm sorry for my wife."

After a long time working as a master and servant, Shen Jingli is very clear about Wang's style of work. If he can come up with a solution in an orderly manner, it means that the matter is not serious. He has already made up for it. If he apologizes before he has finished his words like this, it must be very troublesome and can not be solved easily. He reached for his chin and looked serious. What happened? Let Mr. Wang take charge of this shopping mall veteran so flustered."What's going on in the northwest?" Only know the reason, in order to better think of countermeasures.

"Our food was taken from the northwest."

Shen Jingli tightened his eyebrows, "mountain bandit?"

Steward Wang nodded, and his face showed a look of annoyance. He had already sent someone to investigate the route of transporting grain. The escorted escort was also the best team in the south, and he also sent several fierce thugs in his hand. He was afraid of an accident on the way. Unexpectedly, he had the food robbed in the end.

Unexpected things, Shen Jingli fell into silence.

"It's the servant's fault. If the slave had been more careful and sent more people to investigate the route, such a thing would not have happened." Steward Wang blamed himself.

"It's not your fault." Being robbed is just an accident at the right time, at the right place and with the right people. Even if they are more heavily guarded and their routes are more reasonable, they may encounter vicious thieves and transport goods. This kind of thing is very difficult to avoid.

Shen Jingli thought for a moment, then turned to Mu Jin and said, "you go to Xu's house. Please come over and say I have something important to talk to him about."

Let Xu Yanlin worry about escorting grain. There are many capable people under King Jing, and he will surely be able to transport grain and grass to the northwest safely.

After Mu Jin left, Shen Jingli asked again, "where are the herbs I asked you to prepare?"

"Almost all of them have been purchased, and they have been made into powder according to the requirements of madam."

It's not clear what Shen Jingli is going to do with so many herbs. Wang Guanshi still answers exactly.

Shen Jingli nodded happily. When the medicinal materials were ready, he felt relieved. He was afraid that the wounded could not be treated in time. He was worried about Mu Chen, so he sent Wang Guanshi to buy a large number of medicinal materials secretly and wanted to make some simple medicine bags for mu Chen's army.

"Let your people prepare things according to my requirements. After I have talked with Mr. Xu, I will give them to him, and he will handle them."

What the master said, he would do. Wang Guanshi nodded seriously.

In the middle and late March, Shen Jingli handed over to Xu Yanlin the grain and 100000 simple medicine packs. As for how Xu Yanlin would send these grains and medicines to the northwest, it was not his consideration.

At the beginning of April, a good report came from the northwest. The army led by King Jing and Mu Chen successfully blocked the attack of the Qi army, forced Daqi back and recaptured the city. The emperor was overjoyed. The emperor appreciated Jing Zheng and Mu Chen and gave Shen Jingli a lot of things.

"Ma'am, a letter from northwest." Jin Yuxing rushed in with a basket. "It's a letter from the master."

Knowing that Shen Jingli was looking forward to Mu Chen's letter, she knew that Mu Chen had sent the letter back. When she was going to go shopping, she immediately turned back and brought the letter to Shen Jingli.

Shen Jingli is talking to renyazi. He thinks that there are too many places to employ people in the house, and there are too few people in the house. So he wants to buy more people, so he asks Daji to call Ren Yazi over.

Hearing Jinyu's words, Shen Jingli immediately turned his head, his eyes lit up, and quickly said, "where is the letter?"

The child saw this, very sensible way: "since the lady has something to do, the villain will leave first, and then bring someone to see her another day."

Shen Jingli thought about the letter from Mu Chen. He didn't hear what Jin Yazi said. He just nodded and grabbed the letter from Jinyu and opened it.

When monkey Yu is in a hurry, she asks her to see him out.

Shen Jingli felt relieved when he saw Mu Chen begin to write that he was all right. He sat down on the stone bench beside him and looked at it carefully. It seemed that through the words in the letter, he could see what Mu Chen looked like today.

Jinyu poured water for him. "I heard that the imperial court ordered the conscription, saying that the front-line war was in urgent need of recruiting 100000 soldiers, and the common people had to suffer again."

Jin Yu deeply sighs that she went back to Ximu mansion two days ago to see her parents and listen to her parents mention this matter. Every time there is a war, the common people suffer, either by increasing taxes or by conscription, which makes it even more difficult for people's families who are already in difficulties. What she did reminds her father of the days when she was wandering with her grandparents. She also felt it Injury.

This is not something he can manage. "The imperial court has its own considerations."

After reading the letter, Shen Jingli folded the letters and locked them in the box in his room. Jin Yu followed him, trying to stop talking.

"What do you want to say? "Jin Yu shook her head and clenched her hands tightly.

She didn't want to say that. Shen Jingli was too lazy to ask. He had a lot of things to deal with, so he didn't have time to guess her mind.

Looking at Shen Jingli's leaving, Jinyu didn't hide his words after all. "Madam, I heard that the northwest people were incited to revolt. Do you think it will affect the master and them. "

" No Shen Jingli did not want to answer, Jing Wang is not stupid, not so easy to fall into the trap of others.
