Yangcheng

Chapter 112

This is the first time Tong Shaoxuan has seen this golden rice. The whole body is crystal clear and plump, and the surface is golden. Looking at each grain, it looks like gold. The rice really lives up to its name.

Tang Jianwei not only looked at it with his eyes, but also grabbed a small handful, sniffed it, and said with a smile:

"Sure enough, it is top-grade golden rice, with a delicate and oily surface and a strong rice fragrance. The most special thing is that it also has an elegant floral fragrance."

The captain looked at the little lady's eloquence, and indeed seemed to understand the characteristics of the golden rice very well, and gradually did not dare to underestimate her:

"Thank you for your praise, little lady. I'm not boasting. Although these golden rice are expensive, they taste great and are definitely worth the money."

At first, I thought that this little lady was going to pick a thorn, and tried every means to lower the price. Unexpectedly, Tang Jianwei took a look around the goods in their cabin, and quickly decided:

"Okay, 5 taels is 5 taels, but we don't have bank notes now, only cash and gold, can you accept it?"

The captain half-believingly said: "As long as the way of origin is clean, there is no reason not to accept it."

Tang Jianwei said: "It's clean, it's naturally clean, you can check it carefully with your step."

The more Ge Gong listened, the more attentive he was, he couldn't help staring at Tong Shaoxuan, just like staring at the wealthy people in Su County and even the entire Angzhou.

Could it be that their family really has so much money?

It's not that Ge Gong has never heard of this little lady surnamed Tang who can make a lot of money. Even the people in Hehualou began to plot against her family, for fear that the entire Su county would be monopolized by her.And the maid in their family took bags of copper coins to exchange for silver cakes all day long.

If they are rich, they should be quite rich, but they can save the entire Su County with one shot...Gong Ge still can't believe it.

Tong Shaoxuan faced Ge Gong's eyes quite calmly, and signaled him to be calm.

She knew that what Tang Jianwei was talking about was not about her own money, but about embezzling the loot from the Zhongyi Temple for disaster relief.

Everyone knows that stolen goods cannot be moved without the permission of the government, but if they do not move at this time, the victims in Su County will either starve to death or cause turmoil. No matter which way, thousands of lives will be lost.

Tang Jianwei is not like Tong Shaoxuan. She doesn't have so many great ambitions and minds for the country and the people in her heart. All she wants is to protect her wife and protect her family from harm.

If the famine really comes, the Tong family will definitely be threatened, so she must step forward to prevent the danger from happening.

It is very dangerous to use stolen money, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble, but now only she and Tong Shaoxuan know about the stolen goods in Zhongyi Temple, and it is impossible for the black hands behind the scenes to come out and identify them.

It is risky to spend this stolen money, but behind them are the eldest princess and the eldest grandson's family, and Tang Jianwei's always bold and cautious personality, even if there are some risks, she is not afraid.

Furthermore, even if the new county magistrate asked about the whereabouts of the stolen money, Tang Jianwei was ready to respond and explain.

The stolen money hidden by cunning people like She County Magistrate has remelted all the official silver and removed the eye-catching official seal, so there is no way to trace it. These Hu merchants dare to accept it.

The captain went back to discuss with his companions, and when he came back, he told Tang Jianwei that they were willing to do this business and they could let them withdraw money.

"No need." Tang Jianwei persuaded them with an excuse, "The roads in the county are impassable and it is very difficult to walk, and the epidemic may be transmitted from neighboring counties, which is extremely dangerous. Just wait on the boat, and we will be back in an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Even Ge Gong didn't let him follow, Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan hurried home.

The mountain condition of Fucang Mountain had stabilized yesterday, Tang Jianwei was thinking about the treasures in the Loyalty Temple, and quietly went to explore the way.

I have to say that the location of the Loyalty Temple was very good. The mountain road along the way was blocked by some fallen trees and some mud and rocks, but it was not in the way. Tang Jianwei jumped over it easily and arrived at the Loyalty Temple.

The road on this road can be cleared a little bit to allow carriages to pass. What surprised her even more was that when she arrived in front of the Loyalty Shrine, she found that the Loyalty Shrine was not affected by the landslide at all, as if the mudslide that broke out that day had nothing to do with it No.

Perhaps when they chose the Loyalty Temple as a place to hide their stolen goods, the magistrate of She County had already checked the terrain and found that it was quite safe and would not be easily destroyed by natural disasters, so they boldly hid all their "property" here in.

Walking into the Loyalty Shrine, the ingenuity left by Tong Shaoxuan still has no traces of being opened, which means that no one has been here.

Tang Jianwei thought that maybe one day he would be the first to move these treasures, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

……

After returning from the pier, Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan went back to Tong Mansion to find Lu Fan, asked her to call all the gang brothers, and then went to Tong Boyi, called all the strong men in the family, took two carriages, and Borrowed a car from the neighbor and headed for Zhongyi Temple.

Cleared the roadblocks all the way, and arrived in front of the Loyalty Shrine.

Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan entered the secret room first with the cloth cover they brought from home, covered all the weapons and protective gear that were too eye-catching inside, and fastened the gold and silver boxes.

After coming out, Tong Shaoxuan asked the boy who had not been in Tong's mansion for too long to wait outside, while Tong Boyi, loyal servants and Lu Fan's gang brothers who had died entered the secret room together.

Before going in, tell them, don't talk about it, don't look at it, just move things.

He moved out all the boxes containing gold and silver from the room inside, and made them breathless and dizzy from exhaustion.

I agreed not to ask what was inside, but I still couldn't help wondering, what kind of thing is this, Shen Cheng looks like this.

The boxes of dozens of boxes were loaded onto the carriage, covered with a cloth cover, sent to the dock, and transported to the cabin.

After the captain and the others counted the gold and silver, they glanced at each other.

Tang Jianwei said: "Don't be surprised, the extra 500 taels is the gratitude of the people of Su County. Thank you for your help when Su County was hit by natural disasters. I hope the friendship between you and me will last forever."

Obviously, the origin of these gold and silver is unknown, and the extra 500 taels is regarded as the hush money.

If it was sold to them by the merchants of Da Cang's own country, I'm afraid they really wouldn't have the guts to accept it.

If it is sold to Hu merchants, it will be different.After these barbarians returned home with gold and silver, even if Da Cang wanted to track them down, there was nothing he could do about them.

There are some risks, but they are businessmen who just want to make money. They usually do business at sea, and they are exhausted after a trip. The whole ship may not be able to earn 500 taels together, let alone they have It was taking advantage of the fire to rob and raise the price of rice, which was a huge rip-off.

The captain could see that this little lady was very powerful. She knew in her heart that the price of 5 taels was definitely a low price, but the money was definitely not hers.

If you spend it, you spend it, and she doesn't feel bad at all.

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than hiding together.

The captain had nothing to say, and asked his men to move all the grain on board. Once the grain was moved, the merchant ship left the dock and returned to the country immediately. Those who married wives built houses and those who built houses went away freely.

Having obtained such a large amount of precious food, Ge Gong was a little reluctant to distribute it to the victims at first.

After all, Mr. Ge is also a county magistrate, so he has some knowledge and understands that the golden rice is very rare, and the victims just want to fill their stomachs.

Feeding the disaster victims with such good grain is a bit of a pity that a cow chews peonies.

Tang Jianwei felt that he was thinking too much: "As long as the food can fill your stomach and save your life, eat as much as you want. What do you want to do with so much? The price is given by people, you just hypnotize yourself, this is the cheapest The coarse grains, isn’t there no difference?”

Ge Gong was educated by a young lady in her teens, but what she said was quite right, and she was a little dumb for a while.

The victims who had been starving for several days finally got food.

The day of food distribution made everyone very excited. There were several long queues waiting for the officials to distribute rice porridge early in the morning.

The first person to get the food found that it was not the thin rice porridge made by mixing sand, millet and beans as they imagined, but real polished rice.

Not to mention during the disaster, it is not ordinary people who can eat this kind of polished rice on weekdays.

Moreover, the rice porridge is golden in color and looks really good-looking, not only good-looking, but also exudes an intoxicating rice fragrance, even a little floral fragrance.

After drinking a bowl, my stomach was full, but my mouth was still hungry, and I wanted to drink more, so I went back to Hu Erlang, who distributed the food, to ask for it.

Hu Erlang just wanted to twist the other person's head and carry him away: "Do you think you can order another bowl when you order in a restaurant? There are so many mouths waiting to be filled! Come back in the evening when the food is distributed for the second time!"

The people of Su County really did not expect that the best rice porridge they drank in their lives was actually eaten when they were homeless due to the disaster.

At the end of the first ration, Mr. Ge came to visit, and everyone surrounded him, thanking him in every way for his timely notification and transfer. Otherwise, they would have suffered countless casualties like the neighboring counties in this mudslide.

With Ge Gong here, not only did he escape the catastrophe, but he could also have such a fragrant and filling porridge to drink, which is really rare.

"The new county magistrate doesn't know where he is yet. I don't think he will be much better than the one with the surname She. Mr. Ge is still reliable!"

"I think we should elect Gong Gong to be the county magistrate together!"

"Yes! I think so too!"

Everyone praised Ge Gong one by one, but Ge Gong said:

"All of you are overrated. In fact, the ability to avoid the disaster this time is not due to the old man. In the beginning, the old man could not foresee the outbreak of the mudslide. She tried her best to persuade the old man to transfer the residents. I am afraid that everyone will be in trouble this time. In the end, this is all the credit of Tong Siniang, and the old man dare not claim credit. And the food you eat is also Tong Siniang's wife Tang Sanniang She was very smart and helped the poor, and bought the rice from Hu merchants with her own money to help everyone tide over the difficulties."

When everyone heard Ge Gong's words, they were all surprised and looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, those two little ladies, one who can study and the other who can do business, actually have such extraordinary abilities and a bodhisattva heart.

"I remembered, it was indeed the little girl Tong who came to warn us to move quickly."

"I bought food out of my own pocket... how much does it cost?"

"It's really rare to have such courage and mind at such a young age."

……

The good deeds of Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianweixing spread quickly in Su County, and flowers and various small gifts were received at the gate of Tong's Mansion every day.

Tong Shaoxuan was afraid that she, Ye Niang, would be worried, so he never told them about his rolling in the mudslide.These days I often go out, telling my family that I am helping the students who were affected by the disaster.

Now it’s all right, receiving so many gifts every day, Song Qiao wondered what was going on at first, but when he went out to buy groceries, he was surrounded by people for almost an hour, pretending to pay attention to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law Praise, fainted and came back.

"A Nian, Ah Shen, you guys come."

Song Qiao came in with a sullen face, and asked them to go to the front hall.

These days, Bailu Academy was also hit by a disaster. Tong Shaoxuan didn't have to go to the academy for the time being, but stayed at home all day. Song Qiao caught one.

She and Tang Jianwei glanced at each other timidly, and went to the front hall together.

Song Qiao recounted what she had heard today, and asked Tong Shaoxuan if they did it.

Seeing A Niang's face and her questioning, Tong Shaoxuan seemed to feel that he had done something wrong, and almost knelt down.

Tang Jianwei was very good at grasping Song Qiao's thoughts, tried his best to restore the situation at that time in a relaxed tone, praised Anian's carefulness and insight, and weakened her thrilling rescue.

As for the purchase of grain, as long as Song Qiao didn't ask, Tang Jianwei wouldn't mention it either.

Song Qiao didn't know there was such a thing as golden rice at all, and he just thought that the two children were kind-hearted and used their savings to help the disaster.

After Tang Jianwei finished speaking, Song Qiao was still afraid, with tears rolling in his eyes. He didn't intend to blame the two of them, but was very worried.

Song Qiao opened his arms and let the two of them come to his side.

Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei were held in her arms, and Song Qiao said with emotion: "It's not that Auntie likes to nag you, it's just that Auntie is really worried about your safety. Now that you are old and Auntie is old, there is no way to help you anymore." What to do, you have your own things you want to do, and you can do much more than A Niang. A Niang doesn't want to hold you back, but just want to say, be careful and don't get hurt..."

Tong Shaoxuan was in poor health when she was a child, and she was nagged by her mother. She heard these words so many times since she was a child.

Just as he was about to perfunctory, he saw Tang Jianwei weeping with A-Niang, comforting A-Niang that he would not mess around, and told A-Niang not to be sad.

Tong Shaoxuan still wanted to tease Tang Jianwei, but suddenly thought that Tang Jianwei must be thinking of her own mother, so it must be uncomfortable.

If they wanted to make a joke, they didn't say it, one hand supported her back, and the other held Song Qiao's hand, and the three of them spoke sour words warmly for a while.

With the supply of grain and rice, Su County is cleaning up and rebuilding in an orderly manner.

Although Bailu Academy is not in the place where Fucang Mountain collapsed, the road up the mountain was also blocked. After a few days of dredging, the mountain road was finally paved and classes started again.

When Tong Shaoxuan and the others returned to the academy, they heard that Mr. Zhu, one of the six masters who taught rites, yu, and archery, was from a neighboring county. His old mother died in the natural disaster, so he had no way to continue teaching. , Go back to mourning and mourning.

Originally, the Six Arts course was squeezed out by Mr. Kong and Mr. Meng so that there were only a few classes in a month. Now that the principal professor is gone, even if there are other teachers, it may be difficult to avoid the bad luck of being requisitioned by the principal course.

For a while after the disaster, everyone was not in the mood to go to class, which made people even less interested.

Even Mr. Kong was a little absent-minded, and made several mistakes, but Ge Xunqing corrected him.

Mr. Kong was taken aback when he was corrected, and found that Ge Xunqing was indeed right, so he praised her for studying hard recently.

Ge Xunqing originally just wanted to be smart, but she didn't expect to be praised. She was always scolded, but she didn't know what to do for a while, so she read the book seriously for a while.

During the lunch break, the four of Tong Shaoxuan and the others ate together as usual, and found a figure floating outside the window, from time to time poked out half of his head to peek inside, his eyes fixed on Tong Shaoxuan, smiling.

Shi Ruzhuo was the first to discover this person, and gave Ge Xunqing a hand: "Who is that?"

Ge Xunqing took a look and shouted: "Dong Chongling, what are you doing, sneaking around."

Sure enough, there was no one in this academy that Ge Xunqing didn't know.

Tong Shaoxuan was observing the food box that Tang Jianwei brought her today, and the familiar "little turtle" seemed to be a little naive again, completely oblivious to what Ge Xunqing was saying.

Dong Chongling said with a smile, "Can I come in?"

"You are not in our class, what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for someone." While speaking, Dong Chongling slowly walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Looking for someone? What happened to your leg?"

"I broke it some time ago, and now I can walk on my own."

"You just ran around, aren't you afraid of falling sick?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to find my savior."

"Savior?"

It wasn't until Dong Chongling sat down next to Tong Shaoxuan that Tong Shaoxuan realized that a lady from a different class had come.

She looked up, and saw that the little lady was wearing a girlish bun, obviously not yet married, wearing a gorgeous bird skirt and bright makeup.

Who is this?

Tong Shaoxuan was a little puzzled that he was still so close to him.

Ge Xunqing and the three of them locked their eyes on them.

Dong Chongling looked at Tong Shaoxuan from a close distance, and his voice was as clear as a silver bell: "It turns out that Tong Changsi looks so good-looking."

Tong Shaoxuan: "?"

Dong Chongling took Tong Shaoxuan's arm, pouted and said, "Chang Si, don't you remember him? He is here to repay you."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tong Shaoxuan (excited): Will Madam be jealous?Will it be will it be?

[Tang Jian micro-sharpening]

Tong Shaoxuan: Excuse me...

[I said before that I want to push the plot, but when I pushed the plot, there were very few comments. What kind of mouth is upright... Please leave a message TT]
