There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 211

[Chapter 211, Grain Seeds Lost]

Are Lost After the Double Ninth Festival, Daohua has one more thing in her daily life, that is, to go for a walk in the outskirts of the city.

Sometimes I go with Zhou Jingwan, and sometimes she goes alone.

Mrs. Li was worried about accidents, and every time she went out, besides Wang Man’er and Qin Xiaoliu, Daohua had to bring a woman and two servants with her.

The days got busy, and the time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was mid-October.

One day, Daohua came back from the outside with a red date in her hand. When she returned to the main courtyard, she saw Mrs. Li sitting with a sad face.

“Mom, what’s wrong with you? Did someone make you angry?”

Mrs. Li glanced at her daughter, called her to sit beside her, and then said with a smile: “With you here, who would dare to bully me?” !”

Daohua smiled: “Then what’s wrong with you?”

Mrs. Li sighed, “Just now your father came back and said that the batch of grain seeds sent to Fenxi was lost!”

“What?!” Daohua Hua’s eyes were wide open, and she looked surprised, “How could you lose it? Didn’t you say that the grain seeds are escorted by the army? Can you still lose them like this?”

Mrs. Li: “I heard that I met a robber.”

Daohua was a little afraid I believe: “Are the robbers so powerful these days that even the army dares to rob them?”

Mrs. Li sighed and said, “It wasn’t because of the severe drought in the north two years ago that many people couldn’t survive and went to the mountains to become robbers.” Although the situation has improved a

bit in the past two years, the field has not slowed down, the grain production is not high, and the food is not enough to fill the stomach, and the banditry has become more and more serious.” Don’t the bandits know that what they are transporting is the grain that is about to be planted? They robbed them, how can they let others live?”

Mrs. Li: “Being a bandit, can you still expect them to have a conscience and consider others? Bandits don’t take care of others It’s already thankful to kill people indiscriminately.”

Daohua showed concern: “Then what should we do now? It doesn’t mean that the people in Fenxi are waiting for this batch of winter wheat to be planted, so that they can eat next year. Now that the grain is lost, wouldn’t there be another disaster? ”

Ms. Li shook her head. It is a matter of people’s livelihood, which cannot be solved by her as a housewife.

Daohua sighed, lamenting how difficult it was for the ancient people.

Suddenly, Daohua raised her head abruptly, and asked eagerly: “Mother, father won’t be responsible for losing the grain seeds, right?”

Mrs. Li shook her head, and comforted her: “No, your father is intact grain seeds. The ones that were handed over to Governor Guo have a handover document, if the higher-ups want to blame, Governor Guo is the one to blame, and it has nothing to do with your father.”

Daohua was relieved.

In ancient times, sitting together was important. If something happened to the cheap father, the whole family would not be able to think about it.

Mrs. Li frowned: “But.”

Dao Huaxin said: “But what?”

Mrs. Li sighed: “Your father originally wanted to accumulate merits by pointing to grain seeds. If the problem of food and clothing for the people in Fenxi Province is solved, Even if your father is not an official over there, he is credited for providing the grain seeds. Unfortunately, everything is gone now.”

Daohua nodded, and then said worriedly: “Governor Guo is Xiao Yeyang My uncle, if he is punished, that guy will be worried.”

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The day after Daohua knew that the grain seeds were lost, Xiao Yeyang came to Yan’s mansion.

At this time, Daohua was feeding the jujube fodder at the stable side. Seeing Steward Sun and Qin Wu rushing to the stable, they got on their horses and were about to leave.

As usual, when meeting Daohua, Steward Sun would have to say hello, and Qin Wu would touch the red dates, but this time, the two of them just said hello to Daohua and left quickly.

“What’s the matter? Steward Sun and the others seem to be going on a long journey.” Daohua looked at the backs of the few people leaving suspiciously.

Qin Xiaoliu on the side was also puzzled, and quickly said, “Girl, may I ask?”

Daohua nodded, “Go.” After

saying that, Qin Xiaoliu ran away in a hurry.

After a while, Qin Xiaoliu ran back: “Girl, the uncle is back, and the little prince, he has also come to our house, and is now in the front yard!”

Daohua quickly threw the fodder in her hand into the manger, Concentrating her eyebrows, she said: “The academy is on holiday at the end of the month. Why are they back at this time? Could it be because of the grain?”

Daohua quickly walked towards the main courtyard. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Mrs. Li and Yan Wenxiu People hurried out.

“Mother, brother, where are you going?”

Mrs. Li: “Your brother and I have some urgent matters to deal with right now. I’ll talk to you when we finish our work.” After saying this, the two left quickly.

Seeing this, Daohua was silent for a while, and said to Wang Man’er who was behind her, “Come on, let’s go to the front yard to have a look.” After leaving

the Chuihua Gate, Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang sitting in the pavilion in the outer courtyard.

Different from the high-spirited ones in the past, at this moment, this guy looks a little frowning, with a look of worry in his brows.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Daohua walked into the pavilion.

Xiao Yeyang was worried about his uncle, Governor Guo, and was about to get angry when he saw someone coming to disturb him, but when he looked up and found that it was rice flowers, he immediately suppressed his anger and said, “Why are you here?

” I should be the one asking you.” Dao Hua went to the opposite side and sat down, saw Xiao Yeyang frowning tightly, and asked, “Are you worried about your uncle?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Dao Hua, and ordered Nodded: “Because of the

severe drought in the past two years, banditry has been infested in many places in the north. Uncle was appointed governor to eliminate the banditry.” ”

“The root cause of banditry is that there is no food. Therefore, if you want to completely solve the problem of banditry, you have to find a way.

” Uncle Huang is happy, and even my uncle is also full of joy, so that he can solve the problem of banditry sooner.”

“However, at this time, the grain is lost!”

If there is no harvest in Fenxi next year, the banditry will definitely increase It’s getting more and more serious. This is a serious dereliction of duty for the uncle who is the governor of the bandit suppression. Even if there is a reason for the incident, the uncle will be punished.

“If there is a big mess, it’s still easy to lose the official position.” The

Guo family also has many political opponents in the court. They will not let go of such a good opportunity, and they will definitely seriously hurt the Guo family.

Listening to these, Daohua’s heart is also very heavy.

If there is really an uncontrollable mess, I’m afraid they will be exiled and ransacked the house, right?

At this time, Yan Wenxiu came over and looked at Xiao Yeyang: “My lord, my mother has sent people to collect the remaining grain seeds in various villages, but the quantity may not be very large.”

No way, this batch of grain with high yield The planting time was too short, and their family only harvested for one season. Apart from the ones they kept for themselves, some were distributed to others, so they didn’t save much.

Moreover, the timing of the grain loss was too unfortunate. In early October, the Yan family’s field had just planted winter wheat grains.
