After settling the first batch of refugee orphans, Wei Ruo started working non-stop on potato planting.
The potatoes harvested in the first batch and the rent returned to her by the villagers were just used to make seeds for the people behind.
After coming and going, Wei Ruo had almost no potatoes left in his hand, and the warehouse was still clean.
Coupled with the fact that Wei Ruo now adopts children and hires people to build roads, his daily food consumption is very large, and the food reserves they brought have been basically used up.
Yu Zixiu was worried that the remaining grain would not be enough for them to have a good harvest.
Although Prince Rui's Mansion has a lot of money, in today's world, it is difficult to spend money to buy food from near the capital or from the south. The road is not smooth, and people are either robbed by disaster victims or robbed by bandits. Even if it can be successfully delivered, There is not a month that cannot be delivered.
While Yu Zixiu was worried, Xiumei led a team to pull eight carts of rice and wheat back to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Yu Zixiu was stunned when his servants asked him to go to the door to collect food.
"Miss Xiumei, where did you get all this food?" Yu Zixiu couldn't help but ask.
"My lady brought it here from Zhuangzi in the south. I went to pick it up." Wei Ruo replied.
It was actually in Wei Ruo's space, but in order not to arouse others' suspicion, the two of them discussed a way.
Xiumela went out with an empty cart, saying she was going to pick up the grain shipped from the south. In fact, she went around the ravine and Wei Ruo filled the grain cart before pulling it out.
"It's very inconvenient to buy things from the south now, and there are many dangers along the way. The fabric I recently bought from the south has not arrived yet. Which road did you take to transport the food? How did it arrive so smoothly?"
“My lady has her own special channels for doing business.” Xiumei said the line she had thought of for a long time.
Yu Zixiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of channel can be more powerful than the official one?
Although I am a little curious, it is not easy to ask too many questions.
Then he ordered his men to transport the eight cartloads of fine grain that Xiumei brought back to the warehouse for storage.
Xiumei then told Yu Zixiu: "In a few days, there will be several carts of sweet potatoes delivered, and in the next month, a batch of supplies will be delivered every seven or eight days. I will also trouble the Yu Guan family to send the house to the house." The warehouses are all being vacated.”
"Okay." Yu Zixiu agreed and sighed in his heart.
It seems that he is really worrying too much. The eldest lady really has a solution.
###
The fifth day of June.
After dinner, Wei Ruo massaged Wei Jinyi's legs as he had done in the past two months.
After Wei Jinyi's enlightenment that time, Wei Ruo's attitude towards Wei Jinyi returned to normal. She could face her desire for Wei Jinyi and give him a massage without any distractions.
After two months of training, Wei Jinyi's health has improved to a great extent.
As Wei Ruo said, the wounds on his body recovered extremely well, and even the scars were very faded.
It’s just that my legs can’t start walking yet, because the injuries to the muscles and bones should not be done too hastily, otherwise it will cause secondary injuries and subsequent recovery will be more troublesome.
During this period, daily massages cannot be stopped to ensure that Wei Jinyi’s muscles will not suffer from severe atrophy before he can walk again.
Once, twice.
Wei Ruo’s hand squeezed Wei Jinyi’s leg.
Suddenly Wei Ruo's hand suddenly touched something, and Wei Ruo's eyes widened.
That face was still cold and indifferent, as if he had become a monk and had lost everything.
However, this is not the case.
"Second brother, what are you..." Wei Jin also frowned slightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."
"Second brother, why are you..." Wei Ruo's eyes widened and he looked a little confused.
Wei Jin also pulled the blanket and covered himself tightly.
“Don’t worry about it, react naturally, it’s human nature to have thoughts and desires in your mind.”
"Second brother has never been like this in the past two months? Is he suppressing it?" Wei Ruo's expression was still dull, and only half of his brain was functioning.
"Ruo'er, don't ask anymore." Wei Jinyi said seriously with a straight face, only the blush on his cheeks revealed the panic in his heart.
Wei Ruo didn't dare to ask further, and left on the pretext of going to see if the medicine was cooked well.
Wei Ruo was still muttering in his heart when he walked outside, looking at such a serious person, how could he be so ungrateful sometimes?
Then...how could that be possible?
But after thinking about it again, I feel that it should be so.
The two of them are a couple who have worshiped heaven and earth. It is reasonable for the second brother to have any thoughts about her.
Then she suddenly remembered what her second brother had said that day about his willingness to cooperate with her in giving birth to a child, and Wei Ruo's face suddenly turned red.
Things like having a baby with my second brother...this...just thinking about it makes people embarrassed.
Wei Ruo returned to the room with a blushing face.
Just then Zhang Yi sent a letter from Xu Zhengyong.
The first half of the letter, as usual, is about explaining one's own situation and asking about Wei Ruoxiumei's situation.
The second half said that recently they discovered that a Jurchen tribesman had sneaked into Jiliao disguised as a commoner. He was worried that the other party was coming for Wei Jinyi, and reminded Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi to be especially careful.
Wei Ruo frowned slightly as he read the letter.
Second brother's injury is not healed yet, so don't let anything happen again.
Wei Ruo was looking at the letter and thinking deeply when Xiumei came in in a hurry: "Miss, there is a woman outside who claims to be the princess of the Jurchen tribe and wants to see you."
“She calls herself the princess of the Jurchen tribe?”
"Yes, she did say that." Xiumei said, "Miss, is it possible that there is fraud? Even if the princess of the Jurchen tribe comes to Jiliao, she shouldn't admit her identity so openly, right? She Aren’t you afraid of being arrested?”
"It's not impossible, because not all Jurchen tribes are ambitious. Even those who are ambitious are now mainly harassing and have not really started a war with Daye. So so far, Daye has not closed the door, and there are still some Merchants trade between the Jurchens and Daye. Even if a princess from the Jurchen tribe does come, Daye will not take any action against her out of peace considerations." Wei Ruo analyzed.
Nowadays, big companies are faced with internal and external troubles, so they will not take the initiative to cause trouble.
Then Wei Ruo added. "And the letter from Brother Xiaoyong just mentioned this matter, so the two match up."
“Even if she is the real princess of the Jurchen tribe, could she have come with evil intentions?” Xiumei asked.
Wei Ruo thought for a while and then said: "Let's go and meet them at the door."
Wei Ruojiang called a few skilled people to follow him, and then came to the gate.
I saw a group of people standing at the gate, headed by a woman dressed as a commoner. She was young and pretty.
Although she was wearing civilian clothes, the demeanor she displayed did not match her attire.
