Chapter 24 Shelter

"Hehe... It's not impossible to sell it, but I don't know how much your son is willing to pay." Fatty Cao said with a smile.

"3 taels of silver notes."

When Fatty Cao heard this, his face changed, and he was about to sneer, but was stopped by Mrs. Cao next to him.

Mrs. Cao said with a smile: "Your son may not understand the market in Xicheng, but our mill in the western suburbs is well-known! No one in the area knows, no one knows! The 3 taels must be less Point! At least 5 taels!"

Who knows that Shi An didn't rush to say anything after hearing this, but looked at Cao and his wife with a half-smile look, that look!The radian of the corner of the mouth!No matter how you look at it, it is seven or eight points similar to Feng Jin.

Mrs. Cao was stared at with fury, as if some secrets in her heart had been discovered.

At this time, Shi An said: "My son will pay 3 taels of silver bills for this mill. Since Mr. Cao is not willing, my son will not force it."

After Shi An said this, he walked out of the house, and Mrs. Cao was in a hurry!

But when Shi An walked to the door, he said another sentence: "Maybe you don't know! Now the Xijiao Mill is indeed a little famous, and now everyone in the market is discussing Mr. Ling..."

Shi An didn't finish speaking, but looked at the two of them meaningfully, and then strode out.

In fact, at this moment, Shi An is complaining incessantly!Don't mention how nervous he was just now, he has to recall the young master's orders for a while, and the deceitful expression of the young master for a while, and what's more, he doesn't understand the meaning of those words at all, but since the young master gave the orders, then just follow them !

After walking a certain distance outside the house, Shi An stopped and counted silently in his heart. When he counted to fifteen, he heard urgent footsteps. Shi An hurriedly pretended to be walking extremely fast.

Seeing Shi An's back, Cao and his wife immediately ran faster excitedly, shouting: "Young master, young master, don't rush to leave! Everything is easy to discuss!..."

When Shi An heard this, he thought to himself that the young master is so predictable!But when he heard these two people calling him young master, he felt a little embarrassed, but his pace did slow down.

As soon as the two caught up with Shi An, they hurriedly said without even breathing: "Everything will be done according to what your son said, 3 taels of silver bills are 3 taels of silver bills."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shi An stretched out a finger, which made the expressions of Cao and his wife change drastically, and the whole face was distorted.

"This! This! These 1 taels of silver bills... are too few." Fatty Cao stammered.

But Shi An's next words made him not only relieved, but also overjoyed.

"No! My son asked me to add another 1 taels of silver bills, but he asked for the mill now."

Cao and his wife heard this, without the slightest hesitation, and even said a few "good" words.They can't wait to leave the imperial capital now!

Feng Jin was able to win Xijiao Mill so quickly, thanks to the two traders in Xicheng Yishi. When Fengjin was observing the market of Yishi, he suddenly heard the word "Xijiao Mill". Speaking of Feng Jin, it certainly caught his attention.

At the beginning, the two vendors were just talking about how magnificent the Xijiao Mill used to be. During the peak season, more than 200 people were invited, but now it looks so ruined.But then he changed the subject and talked about the miller’s son——Cao Li, saying that he had a lustful nature, and recently even molested the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department...

Feng Jin wasn't interested in the rest of the conversation, so she didn't listen to it any more. At that time, she was just thinking about when to visit this western suburb mill, to see if it was suitable for her to build a factory for herself.

But I didn't expect to help him a lot now. The Minister of the Household Department is notoriously a protector. If Cao Li dares to moles his daughter, the emperor may not be able to get along.

When the group of people who stayed in the ruined temple came out, Feng Jin realized that there were not many old people in them, it was just that they looked a little old because of their yellow complexion and thin body.Too!At that time, there were three to four hundred of these people when they set off, and the elderly and children who could escape must be a minority. With her eyes closed, Feng Jin suppressed the pain in her heart, but a strong idea popped up in her mind——I must change Li Luo's life. destiny!Otherwise, the battle between Li Luo and Li Qing will be bloody!

There were seven or eight injured people in this group, and everyone took good care of them. Those who couldn't walk were carried together by two people, and those who could walk were supported. Lu Tao's father was one of the injured, and one of his His leg was seriously injured when he fled. Two young men in this group took the initiative to carry Lu Tao's father away with a wooden plank. Although they hadn't been in contact with these people for a long time, Feng Jin still fainted. Yue Yue could see that these people had a little respect for the Lu family and his son.

Feng Jin was not in a hurry to find out what happened, and when Lu Tao believed in him, he would naturally tell him.

In fact, the ruined temple is not far from the Xijiao Mill, but when they were on the way, the sky darkened, and most of them were only wearing thin rags. Although they were shivering slightly from the cold, their hearts were full of excitement. Very much, although Lu Tao didn't explain much to them just now, they also guessed a general idea.

When this group of people arrived at the Xijiao Mill, they were completely stunned by the scene, and this scene will be firmly engraved in their hearts. There were five carriages parked at the gate of the mill, and three of them were white cotton wool and clothes. , one is for basic daily necessities, and the last one is full of food.

Despite being excited, this group of people still couldn't believe it. They looked at Feng Jin and Lu Tao in unison. Lu Tao understood what they meant, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Feng Jin.

"Let's go eat something first, I'm really hungry now!" Feng Jin said with a smile.

As soon as Feng Jin said this, many people's stomachs groaned, and most of the carriage was filled with cooked food, and the aroma had already tempted them to salivate.

Lu Tao was clever, first he sent a few young guys to carry the grain, and he organized the crowd to go to the mill in the western suburbs. It was a bit shocking to go in. The center of the mill was a big open space surrounded by a There are more than 100 small compartments in between.

It is also the first time for Feng Jin to come to this mill. She is more than satisfied with her shock. Most of these compartments are filled with different styles of stone mills. A few of the rooms are used for some livestock, which are probably used for grinding.

While Feng Jin was observing, the food on the carriage and some dishes and chopsticks had been moved to the open space in the mill. There were two barrels of steamed buns, a barrel of porridge, and a box of side dishes. Looking at Feng Jin, although these people have been hungry for several days, they still know the etiquette. What's the matter, let this benefactor eat first!

This time, Feng Jin was really embarrassed. She blushed and took a bite of a steamed bun, and said, "Hurry up and eat it! This way I will have the energy to tidy up my house later."

After Feng Jin finished speaking, these people hurriedly lined up to receive the food.

Feng Jin looked at the sky again, and the moon had already come out. Knowing that if she stayed like this, the elders in the family would probably be anxious, so she gave Lu Tao a wink, and walked to a remote corner. After whispering a few words to him in his ear, he left silently, because he could walk lightly and did not attract the attention of others.

Although Lu Tao wanted to keep her, he knew it was too late, so he had to send Feng Jin to the gate of the mill.

Outside the mill, Shi An had already been waiting there, holding two steeds in his hands, and he was relieved when he saw Feng Jin coming out.

The two of them raced fast and rushed all the way, shortening half the time to arrive at Fengfu, sure enough!Master Feng and Mrs. Feng stood guard at the gate of Feng Mansion again, but their faces were full of anxiety.

Feng Jin returned home, comforted the worried elder, and after having dinner with them, she returned to the room very tired and fell asleep deeply.

But Li Luo in the Wuchen Courtyard is in a very bad situation!
