The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

An'an nodded after hearing Jingxue's words and said, "Okay!"

"Yay!" Little Yingying held up two chubby little fingers and made a "?" sign. Jingxue had taught her this a few days ago, and the little one was actually using it!

"An'an, can you understand the lectures?" After saying so much, you haven't even gotten to the point yet!

"Yes, but my senior said I need to practice my handwriting more!"

"Then let's practice more!"

When Ye Muchen returned to the manor, it was already dark. The steward was blocking his way at the door, which made Gao Chi glare at the steward angrily, "What do you want to say? Can't you wait until the prince has finished his meal and rested for a while?"

The steward cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, what I want to say is related to grain. Many grain shops in the capital are now closed, and even those that are open have much higher prices. Only Li's Grain Shop, which was part of the Princess's dowry, sells high-quality grain at low prices! But each person at that shop can only sell a maximum of thirty catties a day!"

Ye Muchen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. It's that girl again!

The steward continued, "I was wondering if I could talk to the Princess and buy more grain at once from her grain shop, but I ran into her at the gate just now and told her that she wouldn't sell it to me and told me to go find Prince Qin!"

"Qin Jing?" Ye Muchen asked.

"Yes, Your Highness said that Prince Qin has grain on hand!"

Ye Muchen wondered why Qin Jing hadn't mentioned it to him. Could it be the grain on the estate? That shouldn't be the case! In the past two years, apart from what they kept for themselves, the rest of the grain on the estate had been given to the army. Although it was a drop in the ocean, it was better than nothing.

"Gao Chi, go to the Duke of Anguo's residence and have the young master Qin come to the Prince's residence. Tell him I have something to discuss with him! Don't tell him anything else!"

"Yes!"

Ye Muchen quickly washed up, but had no appetite for food, so he sat in the study with his eyes closed!

He didn't know how much dowry Jingxue had. Why had Jingxue become less well-behaved lately? Was she always like this, or what?

Qin Jing arrived quite quickly. On the way, he asked his cousin Gao Chi what he wanted to see him about, but the brat wouldn't say, acting all mysterious.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin has arrived!"

Ye Muchen opened his eyes. "Gao Chi, you can go down now. Come back and serve me after you've finished your meal!"

"Cousin, what do you want?" Qin Jing found a chair and sat down, looking at Ye Muchen with a puzzled expression.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"Huh? No? What could I possibly be hiding from you?" Qin Jing asked, puzzled.

"Grain! You have grain in your hands, am I right?"

Qin Jing did not answer his question, but instead said, "What's wrong? Your army is out of food now?"

"Jingxue said you have grain on hand, how much do you have?"

"Ah! My cousin-in-law said so! Yes, I do have some food on hand. I didn't tell you before because... because I wanted to wait until you ran out of food. No, I was thinking of using it in a critical moment." Qin Jing was a little nervous as he was telling a lie.

"Why do you think Jingxue restricts the people from buying grain every day?" Ye Muchen asked.

"Well, the problem is that we're worried about grain merchants buying them up! After all, ordinary people don't have the same amount of money or resources as grain merchants or wealthy families! Even so, it's inevitable that some people will hire others to queue up, but we should try to limit it as much as possible!"

"How much grain do you actually have? Have you told the Emperor?"

"Not yet. The tax grain from Jiangnan hasn't arrived yet, has it? Besides, the national treasury should have some stored grain! There's no rush to say."

"You still haven't told me how much grain you have. Why is it so difficult to talk to you today?" Ye Muchen was a little angry.

Qin Jing sighed. Being caught in the middle of this couple was really difficult! But what could he do? His cousin-in-law had the goods!

"Cousin, it's not that I have a lot of food, it's that my friend has enough. You, just stop asking!" Qin Jing was too lazy to make up a story.

Ye Muchen knew that this guy definitely wouldn't say anything.

"After the morning court session today, I spoke with His Majesty about whether the military village could transport goods and mail in the future. His Majesty said it was feasible and that he would issue a special imperial edict! I have already arranged for my subordinates to make preparations!" Ye Muchen had no doubt about the suggestion Qin Jing had given him yesterday, after all, he had been in business since childhood and was quite quick-witted.

"Where did the fourth brother go? Why is he being so mysterious this time?" Ye Muchen asked again.

Qin Jing shook his head, "I'm wondering the same thing! Even you don't know?"

Ye Muchen rubbed his temples. "I have a bad feeling, something big is about to happen!"

"Are you tired? What could be so important? I only know that the Crown Prince's one-month celebration is the day after tomorrow! My mother might take this opportunity to find me a wife, but the Fourth Prince has dodged it again. Ugh! Annoying!" Qin Jing said, leaning his head back in his chair.

Speaking of his wife, he thought of Jingxue. He wondered if his elder brother would help him delay any longer and prevent Jingxue from receiving the pardon.

If she had a get-out-of-jail-free card, Jingxue probably wouldn't hesitate for a moment and would immediately divorce him!

Ugh! He's annoying too!

Jingxue is currently leading a group of maids and An'an in doing exercises!

The girls practiced all day, but Jingxue was worried that it would damage their cervical spines if they did it for too long, so every evening after dinner she would first take them for a few laps and then do some exercises.

Ze Lan and Qing Dai would occasionally teach everyone a few tricks.

After the event, everyone washed up and rested. Jingxue checked every day to see if there were any new items, and she was looking forward to the appearance of the plastic sheet.

There was nothing new today, so Jingxue went to the operating room. If she was going to treat An'an's grandmother's eyes, she needed to familiarize herself with the medical equipment!

The next morning, the sky was overcast and the temperature was low.

Looking at the sky, Wen's mother said, "It didn't rain when it should have, and now it's completely overcast!"

Xiaoman was busy assembling lunchboxes for An'an. "Wenma, please bring An'an a warm coat!"

"Okay, I'll go right now. Yingying slept with you last night, did she make a fuss?"

"No, she's sleeping like a little pig!" Xiaoman said with a smile, thinking of Yingying's appearance.

Jingxue didn't let Yingying go with her to see An'an off today because she had to go to the shop, so she only took Runyue with her.

Yesterday, they asked the steward for a carriage. After dropping off An'an, the two of them went to the warehouse courtyard. Cheng Sanxiang said that there were always people loitering around the area these past two days, and he and several other workers took turns keeping watch at night.

Jingxue nodded. "Uncle Cheng, please check this house today. The room where we store grain can't leak. Even though it might not rain, we have to take precautions. If we need any materials, we can go to Lixia and get the money to buy them!"

"Yes, Miss! I'll go right away!"

Jingxue checked the inventory and found that food was selling the fastest. She replenished some daily necessities and also took out some thermos cups and lunch boxes.

This time, Jingxue plans to officially launch potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as several whole grains, such as cornmeal, corn grits, kidney beans, and soybeans.

The Northern Kingdom has mung beans, but no soybeans. I wonder if other countries have them!

I've earned two more boxes of silver these days, which is significantly less than before, but that's normal now. I put the silver into my spatial storage and filled the empty room with it!

When Jingxue and Runyue came out, they saw someone dart back into the street corner!
