After the bubble left, Nangong Bingyu slowly opened her eyes on the bed and whispered, "Anyway, I want to keep this child. I have been depressed and sad during this period. Now I must be happy and eat and sleep well. I'll ask them to get some medicine soup to mend the fetus. In addition, you have to think about what you are going to do next. After saying that, Nangong Bingyu's eyes turned away, and the focus was suddenly fixed on the ceiling, as if he had thought of some good ideas.

"One day, you will know what a pain in the heart is."

I once said this by myself, but now I have become myself.

I already know.

Once it hurts, I will know.

The pain is not fruitless, at least there is a small life in the abdomen. In this thin body, one heart is broken, and there is still one.

Although that heart is small and may not have taken shape yet, it has jumped so violently that no one can restrain its vitality.

It's just that the father of the child...

My heart suddenly hurt, like an arrow with a barbed hook embedded in it, inadvertently pulled it, and it hurt into my heart.

Don't think about it.

Don't think about it.

I don't want to!

Deep breathing, forced his thoughts, and meditated for a long time. He got up from the bed, changed his clothes, walked out of his room, and found the jade pendant. As soon as he saw Nangong Bingyu wake up, he quickly asked, "Why did you get up? If you are hungry, ask your maidservant to send you to your room. Why should you let yourself Are you tired?"

"Aunt Pei, where's Guan Junjie?" Nangong Bingyu looked at the accounting room and found that the stubborn child was not there and asked.

"Oh, he just went out and said there was a news. I guess he will come back soon to report it." Aunt Yupei replied. Aunt Hong, go and ask those girls to bring something here. Miss hasn't eaten yet.

When Aunt Hong heard this, she was ordered to go down and tell the people in the kitchen to go.

All kinds of pastries and snacks are served one after another, all of which are exquisite and meticulous, which makes people droop three feet just by looking at them. After the girls put down the cakes and dispersed, a woman quietly walked to the bamboo room. The woman was dressed in a light violet skirt, beautiful and tall. Although there is a smile in his eyebrows, there is stubbornness and uncompromising in his eyes. There is a lot of temperament between hands and feet.

"Miss, the shopkeeper is back. Now I want to see you about the flooding around the Honghe River and the looting of rice shops by Hongcheng refugees." The maidservant Honglian stood behind Nangong Bingyu and whispered.

When Nangong Bingyu just picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat some snacks, after hearing Honglian's words, it was not a big deal, and the people here were all from the Nangong family. So he turned to Honglian and said, "Let him in!"

With Honglian came in a 16-year-old teenager, a broad Tibetan blue robe, with a graceful temperament and a young man. Walk to Nangong Bingyu and salute with fists.

"What's the matter?" Nangong Bingyu held the newly made tea in her hand, and there was no superfluous words.

"The torrential rain in the upper reaches of the Honghe River caused floods for several months. In addition, last year's grain was harvested, and the flood was too fierce. Most of the grain in the government's granaries was destroyed, and the grain sent by the imperial court has not arrived for many days. Hungry and unbearable, a small number of refugees began to * some millet shops, and if they continue, it may threaten the Nangong family's granary and rice shops. Guan Junjie respectfully reported the situation of Hongcheng and stood aside, waiting for Nangong Bingyu's order.

"Where's Li Kemin?" This parent officer, who has always despised the businessman, would like to see how he deals with it.

"Lord Li has distributed the intact food to the refugees and used the food stored at home for disaster relief. The victims have been placed in a safe place. However, the number of refugees is large, the food is not enough, and the food transferred by the court has not arrived for a long time. The people no longer believe the court, and people's hearts are floating.

"Why has the grain been dispatched by the imperial court delayed?" Officials are indeed good officials, but it's a pity that it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

"Most of the grain transferred this time was delivered from Yuncheng. The waterway from Jingcheng to Hongcheng is relatively fast, but because of the flood, it had to be changed to land, so it took a lot of time."

"How long will it take to arrive?" Nangong Bingyu frowned.

"According to the detective report, the speed is 20 days, and the slow speed is January."

"Contact other grain and rice shop owners and ask them to put 20% of their grain in their stock, which is not enough for the Nangong family to make up. Tell Li Kemin that our Nangong family opened a granary for disaster relief and asked him to send officers and soldiers to assist and maintain order. As for the refugees, send more people to comfort them and tell them that we have enough food. Don't let the food happen. In addition, people will be sent to receive the food dispatched by the court, which must be delivered to Hongcheng within 20 days. After thinking for a moment, Nangong Bingyu slowly ordered Guan Junjie.

"Yes, let my subordinates do it immediately!" After saying that, the Tibetan figure has disappeared into the bamboo house.

The bamboo house became quiet, and everyone thought about it.

Aunt Yupei's worried face is even deeper. Although she only operates in Jicheng and does not have a complete grasp of the affairs of the court, she also know that as early as five years ago, after half of the Great Yasushi was affected by a flood, the emperor ordered a special person to control the water. How could the river flood in the past five years due to several heavy rains, causing the whole Hongcheng seriously affected? ! Then he turned his eyes to Nangong Bingyu and saw her swallowing things with a soft smile on her face. There was no decisive decision to give the order just now!

"Yuer, we may lose 30% of the inventory of the grain warehouse in Hongcheng for this disaster relief." Aunt Yupei roughly calculated the loss of the flood. I couldn't help frowning.

"Hmm." Nangong Bingyu nodded and answered, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then continued to say, "Even so, we have to put food, otherwise it will only the disaster victims who suffer!" To fundamentally solve this problem, unless the water control is successful, such a situation will still happen from time to time in the future.

"The court has already sent people to control the water, which seems to be ineffective." Aunt Yupei's deep-locked eyebrows still haven't been untied.

"Yes, Xue Cheng's purse has expanded a lot."

"Let's release food and relief this time. Let's see what else Lord Li has to say." Aunt Yupei has long heard that Li always can't get along with them. If the Nangong family hadn't been willing to release food this time, I'm afraid his black yarn would be unpreserving.

"Li Kemin can be said to be a good official, but he is pedantic that businessmen value profits and make speculative money. That's why it's difficult for us. This is also a good opportunity for him to make a difference in our outlook. We are in business, and it is of great benefit to us to have a good relationship with the government. As for other merchants, they will also take our lead in the future. After all, 20% of food is nothing compared with grabbing and destroying shops. The reputation of charity has been established among the people. In the future, the first thing that comes to mind when buying and selling food will be our Nangong family. Nangong Bingyu Qingcha was in hand, and the words were light, but the listeners were tongue-tied.

No wonder the Nangong family has risen in just four years. The release of grain should have been a loss, but under her control, it has become a benefit of many birds with one stone. Aunt Yupei seriously examined Nangong Bingyu. The white face under the sun always has a shallow smile, covered with light green fir and a head of green silk, but it is indescrinably elegant and comfortable.

Nangong Bingyu, who was looked at, smiled, as if she was in a good mood.

Yupei's eyes locked the one who was still motionless and looked forward to her with a smile, "Yuer, are you looking for me today?" Yupei smiled strangely, and his face was cloudy just now, but now the sun is shining.

Nangong Bingyu gave her eyes that seemed to carry "exploration" and her heart was full of bitterness. It seems that Aunt Yupei's Jin Qinghuo eyes have really been practiced to the extreme. Can this also be seen?

"Bear by the way, aren't you and Dad going out today?" Nangong Bingyu looked at the bright sunshine outside and reminded her that it was time to go out. Some things have been decided by yourself, and there is no need for Aunt Yupei to worry about herself anymore.

"Well, talk to me when you want to talk about it. Then I'll go." Yupei didn't force her to ask. Sometimes, Bingyu is now a big girl. When dealing with things, she is even more orderly and doesn't need to give other opinions.

The sun is shining outside, the lake is clear, and the cool wind makes the pages in her hand rustle. Nangong Bingyu leaned against the window and let the breeze brush her face. Looking at the bamboo forest as vast as a green sea, she can't help but smile. That's all, love is just a part of her life.

Still smiling, but this time, Nangong Bingyu's mind was immersed in eating.

After half an hour, Honglian poured the cool tea, built a new cup of tea and put it on the table, and then whispered to Nangong Bingyu, who was leaning against the window to see the scenery, "Miss, Master Yao is here. Now he is waiting in the outer hall, saying that he wants to see you."

"Oh? The news came quickly. I just came back. How long did he know that I was back?

Honglian presented the newly brewed tea, "Do you want to see him?"

"Hmm. Go and send him here to see me."

"Good."

Honglian answered and turned around and went out.

After a while, Yao Xuanshu came to this room under the leadership of Honglian. When he saw Nangong Bingyu, he looked excited and said, "Bingyu, you are really scared to death! The news from the front line came to me, but you died together with the other party's commander, and you fell into the cliff! How are you now? What's the root of the disease?"

"I'm really sorry to worry senior Yao. It's really Bingyu. Now I have nothing to do and I haven't fallen into the root of the disease. Moreover, in the past few months, the affairs of the silver shop have been handed over to Elder Yao. I'm afraid Elder Yao has taken a lot of thought. Nangong Bingyu quickly stood up, greeted Yao Xuanshu, and saluted him slightly with apologies.

Yao Xuanshu didn't dare to accept her salute and picked her up. "Bingyu, don't salute like this. I can't stand it!" Moreover, now that you are the owner of a loyal family, how can you stand this gift? Besides, for your predecessor, I should also do my best for the silver shop. By the way, I'm here today to tell you about the current funds of the silver shop.
