Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

With so many things to arrange, we won’t be able to go on our honeymoon.

Xu Ning did not have any complaints, after all, it was she who proposed it.

Jiang Yan felt that Qicheng was still not safe enough, and since he had not found the escaped northerner, he took Xu Ning back to Beicheng.

There are more people in North City, so Xu Ning and Jiang Yan don't have to worry about things like New Year's goods when they return to North City. The housekeeper has already prepared everything, and Xu Ning just needs to review it and make sure there are no problems.

As for holiday gifts, the housekeeper prepared them according to the annual routine.

However, it is not ruled out that someone knows that Jiang Yan is spending the New Year in Beicheng. If the New Year gifts are too heavy, he will need to send some more back.

Therefore, Jiang Yan sent his housekeeper out to purchase another batch.

Xu Ning stayed in North City for a short time last time. He did not finish touring North City and went out shopping with the housekeeper.

"Madam, do you need to tell those merchants your identity later? So as not to offend them." Although they would go to the private room to make the selection, they would inevitably run into other families' families and housekeepers. Xu Ning always kept a low profile in front of these people, so few people knew what Xu Ning looked like.

"Okay, just tell me directly, but I won't show up. Xuemei, bring me a curtain later."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, master."

The Jiang family's carriage slowly stopped in front of a jade building. Immediately, spies from various families saw the Jiang family's housekeeper standing respectfully by the side, and a woman in a wolfskin coat walked down from the carriage slowly.

"The young woman who didn't show up must be Madam Jiang Shao."

"The housekeeper will treat her with respect, and there will be no one else. I heard that this young lady is very mysterious. It seems that it is her."

"Come here, get the carriage ready, and have Madam go out and pick out some New Year gifts. Remember, tell Madam to pick something that the young ladies will like!"

The powerful and aristocratic families in the North City all started discussing the matter in their houses.

Xu Ning visited several shops and felt tired, so he found a teahouse to stop and have some snacks.

The butler had not yet finished purchasing everything, and Xu Ning didn't want to look any further, so he told him to make his own decision.

As soon as the housekeeper left, voices were heard next door.

"My dear brothers, have you heard about the invasion by the northerners?"

"Of course not. A relative of mine is at the border. He said that those people came here to rob food several times recently. Now my relative has fled to my farm in Qicheng. I'm afraid he won't dare to go back before the New Year."

"What does your relative do for a living?"

"Selling furs, let me tell you, this northern country..."

The noise behind was much quieter. Xu Ning pricked up her ears but didn't hear anything. She could only ask Xuemei, who had higher internal strength. Xuemei repeated everything she heard to Xu Ning. It turned out that the snowstorm in the north was particularly severe. A large number of cattle and sheep were killed or injured, and the food supply had long been exhausted.

"In the end, they are pitiful. If they hadn't been hungry..."

"Stop! What kind of fallacy is this?! Not having enough to eat makes you pitiful? There are many people in this world who don't have enough to eat. This is not a reason for them to rob our Daqing! If we follow their logic and rob people because they don't have enough to eat, our Daqing would have been in chaos long ago!"

"That's right. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. The drought we experienced in Daqing a few years ago was no worse than theirs, but didn't we survive it just the same?"

"This is the difference in culture. Oh! I really want to beat them up so hard that they will be scared, or turn them into a vassal state of our Daqing..."

"Xuemei, go find out which family the young man who said this is from, and have him recruited to the talent training camp! Since he wants to fight, I will help him!" Xu Ning bit a snack, his eyes twinkling.

"Yes, master!" Xuemei's eyes also lit up.
