After cooking a pot of millet porridge in the morning, Yan Shu wanted to eat the scallion pancakes from Liu Wenniang's stall, but Liu Wenniang arranged it for his daughter without saying a word.

"Second brother, it's time to eat."

"coming!"

Yan Wu put down the bucket, washed his face by the well, waved his hands casually and ran to the front yard.

"Little sister, why don't you see Erlang?"

"I have already gone to the academy. Today I plan to go to Chiyang County and visit my uncle at Hongle Academy."

"Daughter, what are you doing in the county town?"

Yan Shu took a sip of millet porridge and said, "There should be many people in our village going to the town to buy food recently, right?"

Liu Wenniang nodded and said: "I was about to say this, but fortunately you had the foresight to let us collect food in advance. Recently, there have been rumors that the Rong Di Army from the north is about to attack, and we don't know when it will arrive at our side. "

Yan Wu looked at Yan Shu.

"Little sister, how much food have we saved?"

"Three hundred kilograms each of sorghum noodles, black rice noodles, and brown rice. It cost a total of seven or eight coins. Mom, the rest of the money will be left to you for safekeeping later."

Liu Wenniang said: "I've almost bought these grains. My daughter, you can take the remaining silver and see what else needs to be filled. Just go and buy it."

Yan Shu said: "We have almost everything we need to buy. The most important thing now is to buy salt. I bought ten kilograms of fine salt in the town that day. I am no longer qualified to buy salt. Mom, second brother, let's have a meal together. Let's go to the city and you can help buy another twenty kilograms. My uncle can also buy ten kilograms from there, so we have forty kilograms of salt."

Forty pounds of salt sounds like a lot, and there are many people in the family. If I want to last for three years, I'm afraid it won't be enough.

Fortunately, there are still more than 50 kilograms stored in the space warehouse, which is enough in total.

Yan Wu asked with confusion on his face: "Little sister, why do you want to buy so much salt? Fine salt is not cheap. Now that prices are skyrocketing, the price of salt must have also risen a lot. It is inappropriate for us to hoard a large amount of salt. Even if Rong Dijun comes to fight, the big deal will happen." We just need to hide in the mountains. Our family is a hunter, and even if we hide in the mountains, we won’t be hungry."

Yan Shu shook his head: "Not only to prevent the Rong and Di armies from invading, but it is already approaching autumn, but the weather is getting hotter day by day, and there has been no rain for four months. If this continues, not only will the food harvest be lost, but also the food harvest will be lost. The weeds on the mountain are probably going to die, and there will be no water or food, so hiding in the mountain will be useless."

The expressions of Liu Wenniang and Yan Wu became solemn.

"What should we do? We must prepare early."

"Once the war starts, food and salt will be the most indispensable things for people, so while there is still no chaos, we should try our best to hoard as much fine salt as possible. As long as there is food and salt, we will not be afraid of starving to death even if we are fleeing famine."

Yan Wudao: "Okay, let's go to the county town and have a look soon."

Liu Wenniang said: "Daughter, do you want to buy some more food?"

"Buy these for now. If you really have to flee, bringing too much food will make you a target for others. It's better to save more money."

noon

The students from Hongle Academy came out one after another.

There is a bustling street outside the academy, where students from well-off families come out to have lunch and evening meals.

Yan Wu stopped the carriage under a nearby willow tree and looked up at the gate of Hongle Academy.

"Little sister, the students have all come out, why don't you see Jiang Erlang?"

"I'll go over and take a look." Yan Shu got off the ox cart and walked over carrying a bamboo basket.

When Yan Shu appeared outside the academy, he attracted the attention of a large number of young students.

"Who is that girl here for?"

"We in Chiyang County actually have such beautiful beauties."

"Haha, Brother Liu, are you feeling aroused?"

The young man who was called Brother Liu had red cheeks and glared at his companion angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense and being rude to other girls. Let's go. Brother Mubai is still waiting for us to bring food back."

"Hey, we can't starve that ancestor, otherwise my strategy will be ruined. Let's leave quickly."

While the two were talking, a pretty figure came towards them.

"Can you two know Jiang Ci?"

Liu Yunzhao and Cai Wenjie looked at each other. Just now they were discussing who the girl was looking for, but the next moment she announced her family name.

"Girl, are you looking for Jiang Ci?"

"Exactly." Yan Shu smiled and nodded.

Liu Yunzhao was stunned by her smile. Seeing Yan Shu staring at him, he hurriedly put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"We are classmates with Jiang Ci. He doesn't like to go out and walk around on weekdays. Girl, please wait for a moment. I will go in and call him over."

"It's work."

"No...you're welcome."

Liu Yunzhao grabbed his sleeves nervously, chuckled twice, turned around and ran towards the academy in a hurry.

Cai Wenjie, who stayed aside, looked at Yan Shu with a smile.

"Is the girl Jiang Ci's?"

Yan Shu introduced her gracefully: "I am Jiang Ci's sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law?

Cai Wenjie's mouth twitched. Such a young and beautiful girl was actually Jiang Ci's sister-in-law?

I heard that Jiang Ci's eldest brother has passed away. Could it be that this girl is the bride that the Jiang family welcomed some time ago?

I really didn’t expect that this happy bride would be so beautiful.

"Brother Changbai, look, there is a big beauty over there."

Gu Changbai shook his folding fan and rolled his eyes listlessly.

"I've never seen a beauty in this wretched place."

A face suddenly appeared in his mind. The beauty he met that day was really shocking to him. It was a pity that he wandered around Furong Town every day for the next few days, but never met her again.

Her relationship with Jiang Ci seems to be unusual, but with Jiang Ci's aloof and arrogant temperament, asking him would be a self-inflicted humiliation.

"She is really a beauty. Brother Changbai can tell at a glance."

Gu Changbai looked in the direction of his companion's finger with half interest, and was stunned on the spot.

"is her?"

Gu Changbai felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up. He closed the folding fan with a snap, picked up his gown and walked quickly down the steps.

"Brother Changbai?"

The two companions didn't know why Gu Changbai suddenly ran away, so they hurriedly followed him.

-

"Brother Mubai, stop reading. There is a girl outside the door looking for you."

"Girl?" Jiang Ci raised his eyes slightly from the book.

He knows only a handful of girls, and the ones he can find are almost...

A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, he closed the book and stood up.

"Where are the people?"

"At the gate of the academy, brother Mubai, who is she?"

Jiang Ci paused slightly and glanced at Liu Yunzhao coldly with his deep eyes.

"It's my sister-in-law."

"Ah? Sister-in-law?"

Liu Yunzhao felt as if he had fallen from the clouds instantly.

Wow, you finally fell in love with a girl and you’re already married?

Jiang Ci quickly came to the door and saw that familiar figure standing at the foot of the steps.

A smile appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly saw Gu Changbai standing beside her and saying something.

Jiang Ci's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Sister-in-law."

Yan Shu was annoyed by Gu Changbai and wanted to hit someone. When he heard Jiang Ci's voice, he immediately walked towards him with a smile.
