Chapter 410: Marriage
Shen Gong secretly admitted in his heart that the person behind the scenes was truly cruel and clever.
He was able to enter and exit the Qi and Xiongnu military camps without anyone noticing, not only stealing property but also cleverly framing others. Such behavior was definitely not that of an ordinary person.
Who is behind all this?
When Shen Chongshan heard what Shen Gong said, he suddenly realized it, and Hu Yantu beside him also reacted at the same time.
Shen Chongshan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. His teeth were gritting as he spoke word by word:
"I will never let this man go! I will dig three feet into the ground to find him!
I want to see whether this man is a Xiongnu or a scum of my Great Qi!"
Mrs. Bai was very busy. She brought back thousands of bags of grain from the Huns, as well as various types of meat.
Madam Bai looked at the mountain of food and said:
"We already have more than enough food on hand, why not ship it all to the disaster area?
By next year, we will surely be able to harvest more food.
Besides, it's spring now, and the mountains and fields will be full of wild vegetables and weeds, so we won't starve.
But the people in the disaster-stricken areas are in a difficult situation, far more miserable than we imagined."
Zhao Qiaoniang listened to this and nodded hurriedly, agreeing, "Indeed, if we can help more people, that would be a great thing."
Madam Bai looked at Huang Mao and ordered, "Ship all 3000 bags of food to the disaster area. I don't know what the situation is like there now."
Huang Mao sighed and said:
"The situation over there is still extremely bad. The government is only concerned with protecting itself and doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people. Many people are left with nowhere to go.
Fortunately, we have set up a porridge stall, but currently we only serve porridge once a day, and many people still have no food to eat.
If we switch to eating porridge twice a day, our food reserves will not be able to sustain it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai frowned and said, "Then let's think of some more ways to buy more food and send it over."
Mrs. Bai smiled, raised her hand and gently touched Lin Wanwan's head, and slowly asked: "Wanwan, do you think this is okay?"
Lin Wanwan nodded vigorously. In her mind, these properties were all ill-gotten gains, and there was no regret in giving them away.
She had also experienced days of deep fear and could empathize with the sufferings endured by the victims.
Mrs. Bai saw Lin Wanwan nod and nodded slightly:
"We still have a lot of gold and silver. I plan to melt them all down and then find a way to buy some food.
Although food prices are high these days, they are still available.”
Lin Wanwan nodded again, and after a long while, she managed to utter three words: "Save the victims."
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai's nose suddenly felt sore, her eyes slightly reddened, and she sighed:
“I don’t know who this little girl looks like.
Such a small person, actually wanted to help the disaster victims, ah! "
Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Lin Wanwan from the side, her eyes full of worry, and couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid this girl will be too kind in the future, and she might be bullied one day."
Madam Bai looked at Chou Chou, who was embroidering, and then glanced at Lin Song, Lin Bo, and Lin Yuan, who were concentrating on writing. She said, "You guys are all brothers, but do you know how to protect your younger sisters from being bullied?"
Lin Song quickly put down the pen in his hand and said firmly:
"Of course I know that as long as we older brothers are capable, Wanwan won't be bullied.
No one dares to look down on her or belittle her."
Chouchou put down the needle and thread thoughtfully, looked up at Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, look, I embroidered a bib for you this time. Do you think it's pretty?"
There were a few little rabbits embroidered on the bib. They were eating grass with their heads down, looking cute and well-behaved.
Lin Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded hurriedly. The little rabbits on the bib embroidered by Chou Chou were so lively and lifelike that it was truly amazing.
Mrs. Bai looked at the bib, sighed with both relief and helplessness, and said to Chouchou:
"You fellow, your master will come to arrest you again soon, so you must study hard under Master Liu.
After all, Lord Liu was once the Prime Minister, and his knowledge and vision are far superior to ours."
After hearing this, Chouchou just sneered and said nothing more.
Mrs. Bai's thoughts drifted elsewhere, and she sighed softly:
"It seems we have to go to Bianjing as well. After being delayed for so long, we have to go there after all.
The best strategy for the future is to develop in Bian Jing, especially since there are many matters that need to be arranged urgently.
I don’t know what Bianjing looks like now.”
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Lin hurriedly said, "Oh no! Oh no! Shen Chongshan has gone crazy. He found someone and insisted on calling General Huo over. He said he wants to arrange a marriage for him!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Bai's brows knitted into a knot: "Why would you suddenly want to arrange a marriage for General Huo when you're all right?"
Jiang Lin shook his head helplessly. "How can I know? Anyway, this matter is now a hot topic. I don't know how General Huo will respond."
When Zhao Qiaoniang heard this, her face turned pale instantly and her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
She did have some feelings for Huo Jun, but she had three children, and Huo Jun was from the Huo family. The difference in status and family made it impossible for them to be together.
Lin Wanwan frowned, she was a little unhappy. Huo Jun was the father she had high hopes for, and he liked to tease her, so she liked him very much.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Jun finally came back.
He looked a little tired. As soon as he entered the house, he washed his hands carefully and walked quickly to Lin Wanwan.
The tiredness on his face was instantly replaced by tenderness. He picked up Lin Wanwan and teased her affectionately: "Wanwan, did you miss me?"
Lin Wanwan looked at him. Oh! She really wanted to, so Huo Jun hugged her and said, "I'll take her out to play. She's too bored at home..."
Mrs. Bai asked curiously, "I heard Shen Chongshan called you over today?"
Huo Jun nodded lightly, a trace of helplessness flashing across his face: "Yes, he said he wanted to introduce me to a cousin of his family, and he also said she was the daughter of a wealthy family."
He looked at Zhao Qiaoniang quietly, and Zhao Qiaoniang's hand was poked.
A trace of inquiry flashed in Mrs. Bai's eyes, and she asked:
"So you agreed? What's the girl's name? Tell me so I can know.
I have a more or less understanding of the ladies and rich girls in Bianjing City."
Huo Jun frowned slightly and uttered three words: "Shen Mingyue."
"Cough cough..." When Mrs. Bai heard the name, her eyes widened instantly, a mouthful of water choked in her throat, and she began to cough violently.
After finally coming to her senses, she hurriedly put down the water cup, her face full of disbelief and shock: "How much does Shen Chongshan hate you to marry someone like Shen Mingyue to you!"
