The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

"Report! Jiangnan Road is six hundred miles away, urgent! Report to Your Majesty in person!"

Early in the morning, Liu Baili rushed to Beijing and headed straight for the palace.

The horse's hooves flew past, splashing dust all over the ground.

The early people gathered around.

Looking at the people and horses galloping like the wind, there was a lot of discussion:

"It's been almost half a month since the floods in Jiangnan... The second urgent report is coming to Beijing now?"

"I heard that the road was blocked before and the news couldn't spread."

"But this is too slow, what a waste of time!"

"Who says it's not the case? I'm afraid that even if the prince comes forward this time, he won't be able to save Mr. Chang..."

"You deserve it! That Chang Jing corpse is the most incompetent! My brother-in-law is trapped in Jiangnan, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

Amid the whispers of the people, a donkey cart came from a distance.

"Ahem, brother...uncle, they are still in Jiangnan, will something happen?" Chu Yun asked while lying on the carriage, coughing, with a sickly flush on his face.

Chu He raised his whip: "Don't worry! It's them who will cause trouble for thousands of years."

If the uncle and the others hadn't refused to save him in his previous life, his brother wouldn't have died so early.

Furthermore, he remembered that the floods in his previous life did not bring much damage to the people's livelihood. Chang Jing, the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Province, ordered all the grain stored in Jiangnan to be distributed to the people when the pipeline was trapped and the news was blocked.

The incident was dealt with in a timely manner and did not cause a major disaster. After the emperor learned about it, he simply issued an edict and admonished him.

The real threat is the disease that suddenly appeared two months after the flood.

My younger brother died in that epidemic.

Now that his younger brother has been brought to the capital, future epidemics have nothing to do with them.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter to him.

The most important thing for him right now is to see her!

The layout of the Xu Mansion is similar to that of ordinary well-off families. In his previous life, Chu He, who finally became a first-class military lord, frowned slightly when he entered the house looking at the small layout: How could she live here?

Xu Rongrong was waiting for him at the second door. Because her legs and knees were injured, she could only sit down now.

When Chu He came in, what caught his eye was the girl in a goose-yellow dress, leaning back on the seat and blowing tea.

This was the first time in two lives that he saw her looking so leisurely.

Come to think of it, her current life is exactly what she likes.

"My subordinate Chu He has met the eldest lady." He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

"Get up, get up!" Xu Rongrong put down the tea bowl, "Are you settled?"

The smile was genial and warm, far from the miserable look it had in her previous life.

He straightened up: "My subordinate's brother has moved into the service room."

Xu Rongrong blushed a little: "I'm sorry for you, I don't have a suitable place to settle down at the moment, but I ordered someone to clean up the room last night, and smoked it with mugwort. There is a small patio outside the house where you can bask in the sun. , it won’t be cold in winter.”

"Thank you, Miss." After Chu He finished speaking, he took out a contract from his waist and handed it over, "This is my subordinate's contract of sale. Please accept it, Miss."

Xu Rongrong's eyes widened and he waved his hands quickly: "No, no! You are the guard I invited, not a servant of the Xu family, how can you sell yourself to me?"

It turns out that selling yourself to her is not possible?

There was a moment of loneliness on Chu He's face.

Xu Rongrong continued: "You and I don't have to treat each other as master and servant. You are the young hero who saved my life, not a servant in the palace."

But...I am also the one who killed you.

……

After a busy morning, Xu Rongrong was supported by Wen Yao and returned to the inner courtyard.

Just in time to catch up with Luo Shu, he came back from finishing his work.

Now this girl is running around inside and outside the mansion every day, and she is very busy.

"The matter of the drug store that the young lady asked my brother to buy in the eight alleys of the capital has been settled. Here is the deed!" After saying that, Luo Shu took out the deed of the drug store and handed it over.

Xu Rongrong took a cursory look and nodded: "Thank you, brother."

"It's not a bother. Brother said that doing these things is much more interesting than working in the car dealership!" Luo Shu smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Brother also followed the wishes of the young lady and kept all the old clerks and doctors in the drug store."

Xu Rongrong nodded: "We don't have much experience now. With experienced people like them, we won't have to worry about promoting our formula in Eight Lanes in the future."

"Young lady is right!" Luo Shu said angrily, "I think I saw that Young Master Chu's younger brother. It's a pity that a fair young man has been coughing."

"You go out in the afternoon and invite a doctor to come and take a look at the house."

After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, he remembered something again: "I have another errand to trouble your brother."

"Miss, please order!"

"I would like to ask your brother to leave a message at the tooth shop in the capital and take over two porcelain shops for 300 taels each."

"But... Miss, although I don't understand this, I also know that the cost of a porcelain shop is high. I'm afraid I won't be able to receive these 300 taels, right?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."

……

In the afternoon, two pieces of news came from the palace:

First, after receiving an urgent report six hundred miles south of the Yangtze River in the early morning, the emperor issued an edict to blame Chang Jing, the deposed envoy of Jiangnan Road, for his poor governance, which led to sudden floods in the territory.However, he responded quickly and mobilized the grain reserves in time, so that widespread famine did not occur. Therefore, the emperor did not take other measures and ordered him to go to Beijing to report on his duties immediately after handling the disaster.

Secondly, in order to replenish the food stockpile urgently used by Chang Jing as soon as possible, the empress and concubines in the palace took the lead in donating to their private treasury, selling valuable items, buying food, and transporting it to Jiangnan.

As soon as the two pieces of news came out, the capital was in an uproar.

The first piece of news brought peace of mind to the people.

The second piece of news shocked the powerful people in the capital: the harem women had taken the lead in donating money from their private treasury, could they still stand by and watch?

So, Xu Chao went to the Wutong Courtyard and discussed with Xu Rongrong: "I believe that the officials in the capital will not be empty-handed this time, and our family cannot be left behind! Now you are in charge of the house, take a look at the donations on the account How much is appropriate?”

"Father, don't worry!" Xu Rongrong looked troubled and told Wen Yao: "Go and ask Butler Xu to come over."

Xu Chaoqian felt a little unsure: "But what happened?"

"Father will know later."

Soon, Butler Xu came in with two account books in his arms.

Xu Rongrong handed one of them to Xu Chaoqian: "Father, please take a look. This is all the money in the family now."

Xu Chaoqian opened it and took a look. His face became darker and darker. He hurriedly turned to the end and said, "Why! How could you lose so much! I remember that when Madam handed over the stewardship to you, there were still more than two thousand taels in the account!"

Xu Rongrong handed him another one: "This is the account book my wife made when she was in charge. My daughter has already marked the doubtful areas."

Xu Chaoqian put the two account books together and compared them one by one. After a while... he said angrily: "Go and call Mrs. Liu over here!"

"Father, don't worry." Xu Rongrong said with a faint smile, "I'm afraid there was such a big deficit in the accounts. I'm afraid it didn't happen overnight. Madam has been at home all year round, and many things have not passed through her hands. I'm afraid she may not be aware of it. It's not as good as father. Can you please call Manager Liu, who was in charge of purchasing, and Madam Ping, who was in charge of accounting, first to ask for details?"

Xu Chaoqian's beard was trembling with anger, and he shouted at Manager Xu: "Go! Tie them both up!"

Manager Xu glanced at Xu Rongrong subconsciously, and when she nodded slightly, he went out to kidnap someone.

In order not to alarm Mrs. Xu Liu, Manager Xu kidnapped her when she returned to her room for dinner.

Guanshi Liu was dragged off the bed because his leg bone was broken and he was still recovering in the room.
