134. Asking

"Mother, we want to go out for a trip, okay?"

Rong Shunhua looked at the lively street scene outside the window, thinking that she would marry a wife in the future, but she was afraid she would not be so comfortable, so she couldn't help but want to go out for some breath.

The eldest lady looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, a little hesitant.

There are many kidnappers and thieves every year during the Lantern Festival.

It would be fine if it was a thief, but it would be just a loss of money. If you encounter a kidnapper, you'll be in trouble.

Although this is the sky street in the inner city, the security in the past is better than that in the outer city.

However, because the Lord wants to have fun with the people today.

Therefore, not only did the curfew be lifted tonight, but the gates of the inner and outer cities were also opened, allowing people to enter and exit at will.

In this way, some people are mixed.

Although the emperor also arranged enough yamen runners and soldiers to patrol for this, it was still more chaotic than usual when people from inner cities were more people in the inner city.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady refused and then explained to Rong Shunhua softly.

"Let's just bring more guards." Rong Shunhua heard that the eldest lady was worried about their safety, so she acted coquettishly.

"Mom, I want to go too. Let's go."

Rong Zhuohua also felt it was boring to stay in the restaurant. When she heard that her elder sister wanted to go out for a walk, she naturally begged.

The eldest lady looked at her always dignified eldest daughter, and now she wanted to relax, then looked at her delicate young girl, and nodded helplessly.

"You should take good care of your servants. Don't leave their service."

The eldest lady looked at the street outside the window, and the patrol officers and soldiers who passed by from time to time, and finally agreed.

"Mom is the best." Rong Zhuohua twisted the eldest lady coquettishly, making the eldest lady laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

When the other ladies in the room couldn't help hearing that Rong Shunhua and Rong Zhuohua could go to the streets to have fun.

With such a lively scene, who doesn’t want to be there?

The eldest lady looked at the illegitimate ladies who were staring at her with scorching eyes, closed the smile on her face, and said lightly: "If anyone is willing to go out, you can also go out for a trip. However, you have to take care of the servants. If something goes wrong, let me see if I can forgive you."

If something really happened, she might as well just hang her with a white silk to kill her, which would save her from worrying.

While the eldest lady was thinking viciously in her heart, she was quietly instructing her to take more servants to protect her.

When the ladies saw that the eldest lady agreed, they naturally agreed quickly.

Rong Qiaoyan naturally agreed happily.

She originally planned to find an excuse to meet Zhou Lei. Unexpectedly, this opportunity came to her in a blink of an eye.

Rong Qiaoyan landed at the last part of the ladies.

Even so, Rong Qiaoyan was worried that she would not have enough time, so she thought about it and went to Gong'an.

When she came out and arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, almost all the guards and servants of Rong's mansion, except for the master in the escort building, left behind all the people who could use it.

It is true that the lady in Rong's family wants to go out to play, but it is true that she is afraid of something happening, so naturally the more servants she brings, the better.

Except for Zhou Lei, who volunteered to stay and take care of Rong Qiaoyan, the other servants were taken away by all the ladies.

This is exactly what Rong Qiaoyan wants.

Tianjie is directly opposite the street at the entrance of the palace. Even if there are many people, those who do bad things dare not easily make small moves under the noses of the patrol officers and soldiers.

Rong Qiaoyan didn't plan to visit, just wanted to find a quiet alley and ask Zhou Lei about the granary.

Rong Qiaoyan took Mama Yang, Miaozhi and Zhou Lei into the crowd on Tianjie together.

There are all kinds of lanterns, stalls selling all kinds of things, and even some jugglings, which are very lively.

Rong Qiaoyan didn't go shopping at all. She took people straight and looked for an alley with few people.

When passing a crossing passage that looked like a crossing passage between two mansions, Rong Qiaoyan took Zhou Lei to the crossing passage and asked Madam Yang and Miaozhi to guard the entrance of the alley.

Rong Qiaoyan looked around and found that there was no way to the door of the resident.

"Brother Shitou, tell me quickly." Rong Qiaoyan came to Zhou Lei and whispered.

"yes."

Zhou Lei is six years older than Rong Qiaoyan. He has always regarded Rong Qiaoyan as his own sister.

Even if Rong Qiaoyan does something that is unruly, he will only help with it with pamperingly.

Therefore, Zhou Lei lowered his head and gently began to talk about what he did.

"I rented a farmhouse in the outskirts of the capital, almost fifty miles away. The owner of the farmhouse lived in the capital. Because he was in a down-and-out manner, he sold all the land, and only a broken farmhouse was left, so he could not sell it for the price, so he stayed. Therefore, I rented it for a very small price for a year. His farmhouse had a granary, so I bought grain one after another and put it in."

Zhou Lei said in a low voice.

"How much food have you bought now?" Rong Qiaoyan also asked the most concerned question in a low voice.

"I bought almost 5,000 shi, including fine rice and flour. Because I bought a large amount, and many people want to spend a good year with money, the price when those people sold was lower than the ones in the grain shop in Beijing."

Zhou Lei continued to answer in a low voice.

"You haven't aroused others' suspicion, right?" Rong Qiaoyan asked after hesitating for a while.

There was no way. Madam Yang went to sell clothes before, but Yunji discovered her identity.

Although, that's because Mu Yunzheng wants to repay her kindness, he pays attention to her.

At that time, the concubine's daughter was short of money, so she saved some private money by selling patterns.

But if Zhou Lei’s purchase of food arouses people’s suspicion, it will be difficult to explain.

"It shouldn't be there?" Zhou Lei thought carefully before saying.

"As the lady's instructions, I first went to inquire and ordered several farms. Then after the grain was transported to the capital in batches, I hired someone to transport it to the farm. Therefore, the seller did not know where the food was transported. The second time the food was transported, nor did the person who transported the food came from. Besides, every time I went out, I would dress up specifically. It should not cause suspicion, right?"

Zhou Lei said hesitantly.

After listening to Zhou Lei's process of doing things, Rong Qiaoyan felt relieved after explaining it in detail.

In her previous life, Sister-in-law Liu told her about business matters. So she thought about it for a long time before she made a simple plan for Zhou Lei.

She first asked Zhou Lei to implement the food situation in the villages of the down-and-out families she heard in her previous life.

Those people are already in a state of decline, and have no power or power, and have no ability to follow and follow;

However, although they were in a bad mood, they had to prepare for the New Year's greetings because of their contempt, so they were in short supply of money.

After confirming the seller of the grain, she asked Zhou Lei to buy it as a merchant slave in the north.

Nowadays, wars are often fought in winter in the north. Merchants like to sell food after the New Year.

Therefore, the identity of the Northland merchants will not arouse doubts.

As for transporting food, is it considered the old questioning array mentioned by Sister-in-law Liu?

There is a turning point in the middle, and the staff use two groups, so most people should not pay much attention to it.

After all, it is too common for merchants to buy things to make a difference.

Rong Qiaoyan thought carefully.

Although she has learned it, she has only learned the basics and can only make such a plan.

Among all the links, the person who executes is the most important.
