After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

She would not let go of anyone who harmed her in her new life. But treat her well and she will repay the kindness.

It just so happens that next month is the princess's birthday party, and next month, Mrs. Yongyi Hou's happy pulse should be diagnosed. I had asked for the Ping'an pulse before, but there was no Happy pulse, but according to the memory of the previous life, I should be pregnant at this time.

Therefore, it should be too young to figure it out now.

"By the way, mother, I want to stock up on some winter clothes and food."

"It's almost winter, so it's time to prepare."

"I want to use all the extra money in the house." This is not a small amount of money. Even if she is in charge of the house now, she must tell them. Although she will spend a large amount of money to buy winter clothes, food, charcoal, etc., she will still have a sum of money for family expenses.

She was slightly startled, "What's wrong?"

"I am a little worried that there will be a war this year, and I want to prepare more. If it is needed, I will send it over."

There are soldiers in Northern Qin, the Western Regions, and border counties this winter, because this year there will be a heavy snowfall that has never happened in a century. After the snowstorm, there will be an epidemic, and the weather has never warmed up. Many people starved to death in the yellow sand areas of border counties, Qinbei and the Western Regions.

The geographical location of Lingnan has always been very good, and the harvests in recent years have been good. Although there are some people who died due to disasters, it is much better than other places.

Mrs. Yongyi Hou knew this habit of hers. Ever since she took charge of the house, she would prepare some every winter, so that they often had enough food to eat. But they don't care about this. The stored grain and new rice are the same.

"Nanny, it's no different now than it was ten years ago. At that time, there was a natural disaster, so your father was short of food and clothing on the battlefield. But now the household department is not short of food. If there is a war, it will be able to supply it."

If there is a war in one place, there is no problem, but the problem is that there are wars in three places. Next, the comfortable life of the past few years has passed for a long time, how could there be no movement in the Ministry of Household Affairs?

Mu Xinghe knew that she could not convince Mrs. Yongyihou unless she said that she had experienced a lifetime, but before saying this, she would not dare to speak casually about whether Mrs. Yongyihou believed it or not.

She was even afraid that this was just a dream, a fantasy before her death.

Mu Xinghe shook his head and said, "The Hubu Department is the Hubu Department's business, and what I do is my business."

Seeing her firm attitude, Mrs. Yongyihou asked, "So you are not discussing with me?"

"Mother, I don't have my own way, but haven't you taught me since childhood that I must do things worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of myself? If I don't do it, then I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Okay, then just go ahead and do it. Just don't risk the Yongyi Hou Mansion."

Hearing his mother's teasing, Mu Xinghe acted coquettishly and said, "Don't worry, mother, it won't happen."

After having lunch at Mrs. Yongyihou's place, Mu Xinghe went back to her yard in the afternoon, but she was not idle either. She came back and changed into men's clothes before going out again.

Although Mu Xinghe changed into men's clothing, he did not hide it and did not even wear a bra wrap. Men's clothing was just more convenient, so when he walked into his shop, the shopkeeper recognized him.

"My boss."

"Seventh brother is back?"

"The young master has just come back not long ago and is explaining to steward Qiu in the backyard."

Mu Xinghe nodded and went to the backyard. In addition to Gu Qi and Qiu Yue, there were also several vendors who ran out all year round.

Mu Xinghe's eyes lit up when he saw the person, "Uncle Lin, you're back just in time. I still have something to ask you for."

Lin Zhengbin is the son of Butler Lin's housekeeper. Lin's father watched her mother grow up. Later, when her mother married her father, Butler Lin's son married his mother's maid and came with him.

Lin Zhengbin taught Mu Xinghe and Qiuyue a lot about their business skills. It can be said that the development of Lin's shop is basically due to Lin Zhengbin.

"Big girl." Lin Zhengbin shouted respectfully. He had his own abilities, but he also relied on the recognition of his master. If he were not a master like them, whether he could use his abilities would be secondary, and he might even be hated by others.

And he was not an ungrateful person, so Mu Xinghe was willing to give him trust.

"Uncle Lin, you don't have to be polite. You have been traveling all year round. When you come back this time, I should have let you rest for a while. Unfortunately, I have something urgent to do and have to let you leave again."

"Despite your orders, Miss, I won't be able to stay for more than a few days after returning to the capital. The autumn harvest in Yuzhou is about to begin. I have to go over and keep an eye on it, and then buy some grain."

The autumn harvest in Yuzhou is the earliest anywhere, starting in early September. Although it is early August and there is still a month to go, it is a seven-day journey to Yuzhou, and you have to negotiate with the farmers first. , you must arrive early.

"Well, in addition to collecting more grain this year, we also need to buy more cotton clothes and charcoal fire." As he said that, Mu Xinghe looked at Qiuyue, "Qiuyue, please sort out the accounts and see how much money there is, in addition to the daily expenses of the Hou Mansion. , keep another thousand taels, and give the rest to Uncle Lin."

Lin Zhengbin was a little surprised, and the others also looked at Mu Xinghe with such eyes.

However, no matter how surprised they are, they are the master after all, so they can just do what they are told. It is not their place to question.

"Okay, then is this the main harvest of grain?"

"I'll take it all. Take whatever you have, even low-priced coal. If you don't have enough money, come back to me."

"Yes." Lin Zhengbin agreed. Although he didn't know how much cash Lin's shop had in total, if he bought it all, he might not have anywhere to put it.

Thinking like this, Mu Xinghe said to Gu Qi again, "Brother Qi, I would also like to trouble you to open all the Zhuangzi in various places and put away the things Uncle Lin bought. Prepare more good charcoal fires in the capital."

"Yes."

Then Mu Xinghe looked at the account books they submitted and talked about the store. It was almost time for dinner. She said, "Uncle Lin, you and Chun Xing and the others will go over first. Brother Qi and I have other things to do."

"Okay, let's go there first."

After they all left, Mu Xinghe said to Gu Qi, "Brother Qi, I need you to go to the Western Regions and help me find someone who can cross the desert. If there is such a person, tell him that there is a foreigner crossing the desert. country, where the lay people of Qingyuan are found.”

Gu Qi has traveled to these places all year round and has also been to the desert. He only stayed in the desert for two days and had to come back. There are too many uncertain factors in the desert, and too many people have died in the desert.

Therefore, it is difficult to find such a person.

So, Gu Qi said to her: "I will look for it, but don't have too much hope."

Mu Xinghe nodded, "That's natural, but Seventh Brother, if you can't find it in the Western Regions, go to the border county."
