Follow my mother to remarry! The God of War Baili Hongzhuang is planning to marry me!
Chapter 104: Guess the riddles and win 52!
Something did happen in the military camp. The Wei army’s granary was burned down, and the Ministry of Revenue is now refusing to provide food!
In fact, the Ministry of Revenue had not had much grain to give out because of the disaster in the south last year and all the grain had been allocated for disaster relief.
Another point is that the Minister of Revenue Pan Song has a grudge against the Duke of Fuguo Wei Zhendong. How could he be willing to spend some money to buy food for the Wei army?
They were at odds with each other, but the Wei army got upset because they didn't have enough to eat during the New Year. Several soldiers went to the Pan family's farm outside the capital and robbed more than 30,000 kilograms of grain from the Pan family's farm. The Pan family father and son were not vegetarians!
Pan Song and his sons, along with their men, rushed to the Wei army's camp to ask for food. The two sides were arguing fiercely!
Wei Zhendong would also lose face if he came. He certainly knew that it was wrong for the Wei family army to rob the Pan family's food.
He was furious in the military camp and, in front of Pan Song and his son, punished with military law several people who took the lead in stealing food from Pan's farm.
But what to do if some of the food is eaten? Pan Song and his son asked for more than 30,000 kilograms of food and 3,000 taels of silver!
This was extortion and Wei Zhendong certainly disagreed. He couldn't come up with the money, so he used all the 17,000 or 18,000 taels of silver in his family account to buy food for Wei's army, but it hasn't been shipped back yet!
Wei Zhendong refused to give the money, so Pan’s father and son threatened to file a complaint with the emperor as soon as they left the military camp!
On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Shen woke up feeling a little uncomfortable. She thought it might be because she caught a cold when she went to the palace to watch the lanterns last night. Her lower abdomen felt a little uncomfortable, and she must be about to have her period.
She hasn't had sex since she had that thing with the man, but she doesn't think she is pregnant, because Shen feels that after she married Chen Shengda, she only had Ruyi herself, and it's impossible for her to have another child.
At noon, Wei Zhendong still hadn't returned, but Wei Dazhuang came back and brought two cotton coats to Wei Zhendong, saying that he was very busy in the military camp.
After dinner, Shen Ruyi was going to the temple fair with her two brothers. The lady of the Wei family was worried. Today, Wei Dazhuang and Wei Chuang were busy in the military camp. They were said to have returned at noon and took some food from the warehouse at home.
The old lady arranged for the fifth uncle, who was the housekeeper, to go with the children to the night market and temple fair to guess riddles. She told Wei Wanshan to bring the children back as soon as possible. With the four servants in the house, there should be no problem!
Wei Wanshan and Wei Wanchong took Shen Ruyi, and, accompanied by the housekeeper Uncle Wu and three servants, went straight to the big tree where the riddles were being guessed!
There aren't many people here. The streets are mainly filled with people selling food and toys, as well as lanterns. Shen Ruyi is not a little kid, she has a plan.
Her brain is something that people of this generation cannot have. She went under the riddle-guessing tree and started to harvest the pieces!
The two Wei brothers were dumbfounded. Their little sister guessed every time correctly. Half an hour later, Shen Ruyi won five hundred taels by guessing the riddles!
Let's talk about the scumbag Chen Shengda. Ever since he had a one-night stand with Pan Liangdi on New Year's Eve, Gong Yan has been suffering from lovesickness and has fallen in love with the excitement of having an affair!
Tonight, Phoenix man Chen Shengda made his wife and son very happy at home.
He suggested: "Today is the last day of the temple fair. I want to take our son Wentong to the temple fair, buy some delicious food and guess some lantern riddles.
My son Wentong is so smart, he will definitely be able to guess a few riddles!"
Chen Wentong was praised by his father. He said happily: "Then I will go to the temple fair to guess lantern riddles. Daddy, take me with you!"
Pan Qiaoyun looked at her son and smiled dotingly: "Husband, then you can take some money with you, and buy some delicious food for the child..."
The man said gently, "Madam, I will take the child out for a walk, buy him some food, and help him guess lantern riddles. Boys like to be lively, and as a father, I don't have time to take the child out to play on weekdays."
Pan Qiaoyun looked at her husband who was treating her better and better. She was so happy that her appetite increased significantly. She was obviously pregnant and was now at least ten pounds heavier than before.
Pan Qiaoyun gave Chen Shengda fifty taels of silver, and Chen Shengda and Chen Kuan carried Chen Wentong, left the house and went straight to the temple fair!
Chen Shengda had already made arrangements with Chen Kuan in advance. After entering the temple fair, he asked Chen Kuan to hold his son while he tried to find his daughter under the big tree where the lantern riddles were being guessed.
Chen Kuan took the child to eat something. After wandering around for about an hour, they met under a big tree and then took their son home.
Coincidentally, Chen Laoer from the village, his wife and their two children also came to the capital to watch the temple fair tonight!
Chen Laoer was a smart man. After being beaten before the New Year, he found a job as a helper in a grocery store in the city and earned some money. He then thought of bringing his wife and children to the temple fair.
Because her husband was going to be brought to the city to attend the temple fair, Chen Laoer's wife deliberately wiped her face clean tonight as if she had shaved a layer of white powder, and put lip balm on her lips, so that when she grinned it looked like a bloody mouth.
Chen Laoer's two children were also brought along, and they kept shouting along the way for fried Yuanxiao and candied haws.
Chen Laoer and his wife didn't have much money in their pockets. When they heard that their children wanted to eat this and that, they had to buy something for them. Since they brought the children to the temple fair, how could they not spend some money?
Chen Laoer's wife counted out a few copper coins from her pocket and went to the stall selling candied haws. She asked for two candied haws. While she was waiting in line to get the candied haws, someone bumped into her.
The woman held the candied haws and said unhappily: "I am so annoyed. I am in a hurry to reincarnate... Oh no!"
Before she could finish her words, she was bumped again. This time, the woman almost dropped the candied haws. She was so angry that she yelled, "Asshole, you are a starving ghost who is going to be reincarnated!"
The man looked back at the ugly woman and was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything back, for fear that he would be blamed by the ugly woman.
The man smiled innocently: "Sorry, sister-in-law, we are in a hurry to guess the riddles.
Little Princess Ruyi won five hundred taels of silver by guessing lantern riddles! That lantern riddle is probably easy to guess. A six or seven-year-old kid actually won five hundred taels of silver. We should all try..."
Chen Laoer's wife...
She was stunned and shocked at the time. What was the concept of five hundred taels in this era? It was a sum of money that ordinary people like them could not earn in several years!
Chen Laoer's wife didn't care about anything else and ran back home as fast as she could to find her husband and children.
"Boss, here are the candied haws for you. Watch the children eat them. I'm going to go over to the lantern riddle guessing area to see if there are any. I heard that my eldest sister-in-law's little Ruyi won five hundred taels by guessing lantern riddles. Hahaha!"
The woman stuffed the candied haws into Chen Laoer's hand, shook off the dust on her body, puffed out her chest, and ran in the direction of the riddle game.
Chen Laoer held two strings of candied haws and looked at the direction where his wife ran away, and couldn't help cursing.
"Bah! Little Ruyi won five hundred taels by guessing lantern riddles. What does that have to do with you? You can't even read a single word, how can you guess lantern riddles... Ouch! Who..."
Suddenly Chen Laoer was bumped by someone. When he turned around, he saw that it was his eldest brother, who was holding the burden Chen Wentong.
Chen Shengda was a little surprised to see that it was his second brother. Seeing that his second brother's two children were eating candied haws, he hugged his son tightly and said, "Chen Kuan, go buy a string of candied haws for the children too!"
Chen Lao Er smiled and said, "Brother, you are a man of great knowledge. Xiao Ruyi is like you. Although her last name is not Chen now, she is also smart like you!
Tonight, Xiao Ruyi guessed lantern riddles and won five hundred taels!"
Chen Shengda held his son and thought he was hallucinating: "What? Ruyi guessed the riddles and won five hundred taels?
Hahahaha…Okay! "
