Chapter 271 Hehehe! You pigs and dogs!
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, snowflakes were flying everywhere. Wei Zhendong, the Duke of Fuguo, who had been traveling day and night, and his entourage entered the territory of Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Not to mention that the further we go here, the more desolate it becomes. Today, when we arrived in Qiongzhou Prefecture, it even started snowing. Wei Zhendong was wearing a Huqiu cloak and a veiled hat, and he could feel the northwest wind was really freezing cold even while riding on his horse!
But for the sake of his sons and his duty, he must rush to his daughter as soon as possible, otherwise his sons might run out of food.
Wei Zhendong arrived in Qiongzhou Prefecture and after asking for the direction of Jubao County, he headed straight there.
Wei Zhendong didn't even have lunch and kept on riding at full speed. By the evening, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain of Jubao Garden.
At this time, there were several houses built at intervals at the foot of Jubaoyuan Mountain. The houses were all made of wood. Wei Zhendong understood that these houses were inhabited by the sentries on duty.
It's too cold here in the northwest. If you don't have a house to keep warm, rest, eat and live in, no matter how much you wear, you will definitely freeze to death at night!
Suddenly, several people rushed out of the house and shouted: Who is it?
Wei Zhendong jumped off his horse and took out his token: "I am Wei Zhendong, Duke of Fuguo, come to see Lord Jiusheng!"
Several guards looked at the token and quickly let two people pass, taking Wei Zhendong with them, and rode up the mountain on horseback. Shen Ruyi on the mountain had already received the news.
In fact, Ruyi had heard from Jiusheng before that a carrier pigeon had sent a message saying that her father Wei Zhendong was coming and wanted to requisition the grain in her hands.
Shen Ruyi felt that it was understandable. She had so much grain and vegetables, the court would not miss them!
She can't hold on to the millions of kilograms of grain in her hands. This year she can be said to have a bumper harvest. Now she is just waiting to make a contribution to the country!
Shen Ruyi is not a fool. Her son is the reincarnation of the Emperor Star. If the Qin Dynasty is gone, what kind of emperor can her son be?
After deducting the food for her own family, she had to prepare at least 4 million kilograms of food for the court. This amount of food would be enough for the army to eat for a while, and then the south would be connected again!
What's more, she not only has food, but also vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, and cabbages. There are plenty of them. Now she is giving sweet potatoes to her sentries on duty to roast and eat!
Now Shen Ruyi is probably the largest grain producer in the country of the Qin Dynasty.
Shen Ruyi also knew that Wei Zhendong would definitely come. If Jiusheng participated in the autumn harvest, he would reveal the fact that he had grain to the Crown Prince Qin Jinan, which would be equivalent to reporting the matter to the court.
Now her father has finally arrived. Shen Ruyi had a premonition that her father would be here soon, so she took her two little bear fur babies and played in the snow for the whole afternoon. The two little babies were so excited about playing in the snow wearing their bear fur coats that they didn’t even want to go home!
The children have learned to speak a long time ago, but their tongues do not work well yet, so they speak awkwardly. A few days ago, Shen Ruyi said that their grandfather was coming, and the two children were very much looking forward to it!
It was already evening today, and Shen Ruyi finally heard that her father was coming. She was very happy. She asked Xiaohong and Xiaobi to look after the children, and asked Jiusheng to go out to greet her father. She ran to the kitchen to arrange hot pot for tonight. She also took out the hot pot ingredients from the space. She would bring the children to welcome her father tonight.
Wei Zhendong saw Jiusheng and Wu Kai rushing out of the yard. Jiusheng excitedly stepped forward and saluted: "The Duke is here!"
Wu Kai took two steps forward excitedly and knelt on the ground with a plop!
Wei Zhendong first gave Jiusheng a helping hand, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then walked up to Wu Kai. Seeing Wu Kai looking up at him, Wu Kai's eyes were full of tears. Wei Zhendong's eyes also turned red. He leaned over and pulled Wu Kai up, and all of a sudden he hugged Wu Kai together!
They can be said to be brothers who grew up together. They haven't seen each other for many years, and Wu Kai has experienced such a big change. Now he is serving his daughter in front of his daughter. How can Wei Zhendong not be moved?
Wei Zhendong choked up and said, "Wu Kai, you are Wei Zhendong's brother for life!"
"Duke, Wu Kai is so lucky to be able to meet you in this life and take care of the young lady for you!"
Jiusheng smiled and said, "Duke, please come in quickly. Your two grandchildren are so anxious that they are about to rush out. Our young mistress is preparing dinner to welcome you!"
Wei Zhendong smiled and said, "Really? Hahahaha... I'll go check it out. Now I've been promoted to a higher generation. I'll be a grandfather in the future!"
Wei Zhendong followed Wu Kai and Jiu Sheng into the yard, crossed the front yard and went to the back yard. Just as he reached the middle of the yard, a small black ball jumped out in front of him. Wei Zhendong took a few quick steps forward and rushed over to scoop up the small black ball.
"Hehehe... this pig and dog's house... this pig and dog's house...
Sister... I'm scared..."
Wei Zhendong...
Jiusheng and Wu Kai couldn't help laughing, and Wei Zhendong also understood that it was his grandson who was asking his grandfather to go home! It was just that the kid's tongue was not good, so he said "outside pig and dog house".
Wei Zhendong was so angry that he laughed. His grandson was really so outgoing that he hugged his neck and played happily. He almost couldn't hold him anymore.
Xiao Pingping looked at his little pig with a cute look. Wei Zhendong also looked at the little guy and said, "Oh! This child really looks like my daughter!
I almost thought this was Ruyi when she was a child!
Pingping, grandpa travels day and night just to see our Pingping and Anan!
Where is An An? "
When Xiao Pingping heard that his cousin liked him, he smiled happily and pointed at the little ball at the door. The little guy was sitting on the doorstep, looking at the place weakly and holding on to the door frame, refusing to come out.
Wei Zhendong strode over with the child in his arms. He came to the door, slowly squatted there, and looked at the little girl wearing the same bear skin coat. The little girl's face was exactly the same as her sister!
His sister might have been like this when she was young. She was timid and always looked at people with a timid look, which made people feel distressed and want to protect her!
Wei Zhendong said softly unconsciously, "An An, I am your maternal grandfather...your mother's father."
Little An An hugged the door frame and watched her grandfather hug her brother. She said softly: I love pigs... I love pigs...
Xiaohong and Xiaobi both knelt on the ground and saluted Wei Zhendong. Wei Zhendong smiled gently and slowly picked up Xiao Anan. Wei Zhendong was very happy holding the two children!
As soon as he turned around, he heard Shen Ruyi's voice: "Daddy, you're here? Are you cold?"
Wei Zhendong turned around and saw his little daughter, who was wearing a fur coat, coming out of a room on the side of the yard. I guess that was the kitchen?
The little girl is prettier now, probably because she has given birth to a child. Her fair face is about 60% similar to her mother's, but she is more lively and elegant than her mother!
Wei Zhendong instantly felt a sense of accomplishment that his daughter had grown up. He smiled and said, "My daughter is getting prettier and prettier. Ruyi is amazing. She gave Daddy a pair of pretty grandchildren. Hahahaha...hahahaha...oh, why is this ancestor crying?"
"Wow... Mommy is scared... Wow..."
Little An An was frightened when she heard the loud voice of her beloved pig. When she saw her mother, she burst into tears, which scared Wei Zhendong!
Shen Ruyi rushed over and took over the little girl to coax her. She said embarrassedly: "Daddy, don't mind. Our An An is timid. She is not as outgoing as Ping Ping..."
Wei Zhendong smiled and said, "It's okay, Daddy spoke too loudly, please speak more quietly next time!
The little girl takes after your aunt. She was also timid when she was little, hehe!
After Shen Ruyi brought her father into the house, Wei Zhendong was so angry that he laughed. He found that the layout and furnishings in the house were exactly the same as those in the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion!
"Ruyi, you are the same. You came here and suffered so much. Why didn't you tell your father? If your mother didn't know, she would have come here too!"
Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched: "Dad, your daughter is a person of no importance, and I cannot endure hardship and suffering. I have money and food, and I want to live a life of luxury wherever I go. My daughter just got pregnant unexpectedly, and I don't want to cause any trouble to you.
Alas! Everything is over, why talk about it so much? The children are all fine, I am fine too, here are my uncle Jiusheng and my uncle Wu Kai, the three of us are really fine, we played in the snow all afternoon this afternoon!"
Wei Zhendong sighed, put his little grandson on his body and unbuttoned his bearskin coat, fearing that he would get hot. It was really warm in this room!
Shen Ruyi: "Dad, are you here to collect food from me?"
"Well! My daughter is smart. Ruyi, how much food do you have? The imperial army still has a two-month shortage of food!"
"I borrowed this grain, or counted it as money. I can't just donate it to the court for nothing. This is the grain I hired to grow!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has the final say. Whether it is borrowed by the court or purchased, as long as you help your cousin and your eldest brother get through the difficult times, the royal family will not treat you unfairly."
Shen Ruyi was so angry that she laughed. How much money did she owe? Maybe she couldn't even count it?
"Okay, Daddy, after we finish our meal tonight, you can discuss with Uncle Jiusheng and Uncle Wu how to transport the grain. Let's start tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late.
The roads are not easy to travel due to the snow, and I don’t know when it can be transported to Changzhou Prefecture and my eldest brother.”
Wei Zhendong nodded and said, "The road to the northeast is indeed difficult to travel, so we have to transport it to the northeast first. I have already notified Wanfeng when I came here, and he will be able to come to Qiongzhou Prefecture tomorrow. There is no rush to go to Changzhou Prefecture, and it is expected to arrive in a few days!"
