The carriage had just been unloaded when it was harnessed again and the mansion was left.

Baizhi stood in the attic and watched, feeling very strange.

As far as she knew, Shen Lin and Ye Qinghuan treated each other with respect and had not yet consummated their marriage. Instead, Su Jinxiu got pregnant.

Why are we going out and coming in together today?

"Aunt Bai, did Madam finish checking the account book she gave you yesterday?" Su Jinxiu walked over from a distance and asked loudly.

Bai Zhi retracted her gaze, went downstairs and said, "I finished it. I was about to give it to Madam, but she went out with the General."

"Then let's take a walk together. It's rare that the snow has stopped." Su Jinxiu smiled, showing her tenderness and love.

Ever since Shen Lin tacitly allowed her to publicly admit her pregnancy, Old Madam Shen resumed her favor towards her.

Currently, the person with the lowest status in this mansion is Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi happened to have something to ask, so she accompanied Su Jinxiu for a walk.

The two of them, along with their maidservants, strolled leisurely along the corridor.

"Sister Su, what do you think of the relationship between the Madam and the General?" Bai Zhi asked.

"Respect each other like guests." Su Jinxiu replied.

"But I think the general values ​​his wife very much. The lady has asked me to do all the tedious work, so why is she still so busy? What do you think they are busy with?"

"Busy? I often go to Jinfengyuan to pay my respects to Madam, and she is always quite free."

Bai Zhi was strictly forbidden from entering Jinfengyuan without permission.

However, Su Jinxiu was also arranged by the old lady, so she would definitely not lie to her.

So she believed it.

"The price of charcoal has increased this year, and my wife seemed to have anticipated it and stockpiled charcoal early on," said Bai Zhi.

Su Jinxiu smiled: "Yes, yes! Fortunately, she is the one in charge this year. If it were me, it would be too late to buy according to the time of previous years."

I'm quite glad.

Bai Zhi was speechless: "Sister Su, don't you think there is a problem?"

"What could be the problem? As the new bride in charge of the household, she is afraid of making mistakes, so it is normal for her to make preparations in advance." Su Jinxiu said.

Bai Zhi frowned.

I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't find out what the problem is.

"Aunt Bai, you and I are of the same kind. I have something to remind you."

"Sister Su, please feel free to speak."

"The general is not interested in women, and will not indulge in them. Forget about vying for favor."

Bai Zhi chuckled disdainfully: "I don't want that."

"That would be the best. We just need to follow the old lady's arrangements." Su Jinxiu was tired from walking and sat under the corridor to enjoy the snow scenery. "Brother Rong should be back after the New Year."

When talking about Shen Rong, Bai Zhi's face showed some passion: "Yeah."

"Brother Lin and Brother Rong have some grievances, and I'm afraid there will be disputes. Alas!" Su Jinxiu sighed, "I really don't know how to spend this New Year."

Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly: "Sister Su doesn't want the second young master to come back?"

"Not really. I just hope that he and Lin can put aside their past grudges and be good brothers again."

"Oh! The second young master has a pair of broken legs!"

The coldness and hatred in Bai Zhi's words frightened Su Jinxiu secretly, and she hated her even more.

Originally, an old lady was difficult enough to persuade, and if Bai Zhi added fuel to the fire, wouldn't Brother Lin and Brother Rong become completely estranged?

"Sister Su is very affectionate towards the general, she probably doesn't like to hear what I say." Bai Zhi stared at Su Jinxiu scrutinizingly.

Su Jinxiu smiled and said, "As long as my child can inherit the Shen family army, what else does it matter?"

"Really?"

"If Aunt Bai doesn't believe it, you can go ask the old lady."

Su Jinxiu has no flaws at all, she is gentle and fragile yet has a unique character.

Although Bai Zhi couldn't believe everything she said, she didn't say anything else.

If Su Jinxiu's actions are consistent with her words, let her go.

Otherwise, kill!

In short, no one can stand in the way of the Second Young Master!

----

The carriage swayed and arrived at the rice warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

When Shen Lin saw the warehouse full of rice, flour and cotton, he was shocked: "So much?"

“Although there are not enough 100,000 soldiers to survive the winter, they can still hold out for a while.” Ye Qinghuan smiled.

"If you eat sparingly, you can get through half the winter!" Shen Lin was overjoyed and looked at Ye Qinghuan eagerly, "Madam, why did you think of stockpiling rice and flour?"

Ye Qinghuan smiled and said, "I originally wanted to hoard them and sell them for money. Since you need them, I'll give them to you. Anyway, I bought them with your money."

Shen Lin: …

In fact, he thought she was hoarding food for him. But it turned out to be for making money!

That's fine, this little fox really loves money and helped him a lot by accident.

"So much grain cannot be transported to the border at once, which will arouse suspicion. Does the general have any good ideas?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

Shen Lin said: "As long as there is food, nothing else matters!"

"Okay." Ye Qinghuan nodded and called Chang Ming, "Come and meet the general. From now on, you will be in charge of these goods."

"General, I will definitely cooperate with you." Chang Ming was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

Ye Qinghuan laughed at him: "Chang Ming, are you so excited to see the general?"

"Madam, you may not know that my father and brother joined the army in their early years and later starved to death in the winter. Today, I learned that you were storing food and flour for the soldiers, and I thought of my father and brother..."

As Chang Ming spoke, he began to cry.

Shen Lin asked: "Did your father and brother go to the Northern Border Army?"

"That's right." Chang Ming choked.

Shen Lin sighed and patted Chang Ming on the shoulder: "They are heroes!"

There was an elite vanguard team in the North called the Snow Wolves. Five years ago, a blizzard hit the North and food and pay were insufficient, so all fifty vanguard soldiers froze to death!

"General Shen, you are the real hero! All the members of the Shen family army are heroes!" Chang Ming knelt down with his shoulders shaking.

Ye Qinghuan had never been to a battlefield, but he was still moved by what he saw.

Chunyan said that Chang Ming once did grain business, but later lost money.

Now it seems very likely that he spent all his fortune trying to raise food for his father and brother.

This Chang Ming is really a man!

"Chang Ming, please get up." Shen Lin personally helped Chang Ming up. "What you are about to do now is also a heroic act. Your father and brother will surely be pleased if they are still alive."

Chang Ming wiped his face and straightened his back stubbornly: "Yes! Yes!"

"Tell me how you transported grain to the northern border back then." Shen Lin asked.

"Uh, General, how come I did it secretly?" Chang Ming was stunned.

Ye Qinghuan also glanced away in surprise: Can you confirm it so quickly?

"Back then, the North was short of military rations, and a small group of people took the initiative to transport food to provide relief. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it became a good story in the North. Today, it seems that it was you." Shen Lin said cheerfully.

Chang Ming smiled embarrassedly: "My strength is too weak..."

"A single spark can start a prairie fire. Come on, let's go have a drink."

"Yes, General!"

Shen Lin looked back and winked at Ye Qinghuan.

She shook her head and laughed, then stayed in the warehouse to plan her next step.

"Chunyan, your cousin is a man." Ye Qinghuan said.

"Madam, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hide it. I really didn't know that my cousin lost his family property in this way. I just felt sorry for him having a hard time living alone, so I wanted to find a job for him..." Chunyan knelt down hurriedly to explain.

"It's fate, very good. You can get up!" Ye Qinghuan waved his hand and sighed with pity.

Chang Ming has great ambitions, but it is unlikely that he and Chunyan will be able to achieve success.
