"Miss, you are so refreshing. We brothers just discussed that my relatives still have a total of 500 kilograms of wood at their house, but it is also wet. Do you think... do you want to collect it together?"
The middle-aged man was happy after counting the banknotes. He kept rubbing his hands.
Munchun frowned and scolded: "Don't be too greedy!"
Shen Ningning raised her little hand to stop and looked at the two brothers.
"You can accept it, but I will give you the rest of the money after I receive all the wood."
"Okay, okay! No problem, we can go to the government office with the lady to sign the deed."
Shen Ningning nodded, her face serious. "The deed needs to be signed, but it has to wait."
After saying that, she asked Mu Chun to make arrangements and find a dozen guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion to follow the brothers to pull the wood.
Late spring was a little troubled: "Princess... bring the wood, where should we put it?"
Shen Ningning poked her chin with her little hand and thought seriously.
Of course she wanted to be put into the fairyland, but she couldn't show it in front of everyone.
At this time, the man said again: "There is an abandoned granary in the west alley in the city. We wanted to talk about it before and put the wood there, but the owner didn't agree."
"The price they offered was too high. The lease lasted for a year. It costs five hundred taels, but the place is too remote, so we didn't consider it. If Miss thinks it's suitable, you can go and ask."
Shen Ningning nodded decisively: "Okay, you will take me to see the granary in a moment."
Find a place, Store the wood first, and then move it into the wonderland little by little.
The little guy immediately made plans in his mind.
Seeing that Shen Ningning had made up her mind, Late Spring shook her head helplessly.
She turned around and entered the house, went to the housekeeper and asked for twenty nursing homes.
Suddenly, Shen Ningning saw out of the corner of her eye that there was someone looking over at the corner of the alley not far away.
She turned around and saw that the man had a messy beard and was dressed like a beggar.
but!
Shen Ningning recognized this familiar face as soon as she saw it. It was actually Chen Ye!
Didn't he leave the capital?
Chen Ye seemed to have come specifically to see Shen Ningning, and he waved anxiously.
When the people around her were not paying attention, Shen Ningning said to the two men, "Wait here and don't wander around."
After that, she took the initiative to walk towards the corner.
Xie Yuanjiu couldn't see what Shen Ningning was doing, and looked even more suspicious.
Over there, the little guy dragged Chen Ye into the dead end.
"Brother Chen, why are you back? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
We haven't seen him for a month. Chen Ye was probably sleeping out in the open air, and his eyes were even darker.
"Miss, General Xie is a capable man. His soldiers sealed all the waterways outside the capital, and controlled all city gates."
"I walked to Chongzhou, and before I could go out, I found that they had sealed the city gates. After checking the identity certificates one by one, I found that the five hundred miles outside the capital were like iron bridges, and it was easy to get in and out. I knew I would be caught if I went out any more, so I simply came back."
"But after I came back, I went near Xiangyun Village, and I heard that My mother fell ill due to an autumn rain. I wanted to visit her, but there were ambushing officers and soldiers everywhere near Xiangyun Village."
"Miss, can you help me? I just need to take a look at my mother and leave if I feel relieved. "
Shen Ningning frowned in embarrassment.
Granny Chen was indeed ill, and she was worried about her son, which was already very distressing.
This disease cost her half her life.
Fortunately, a few days ago, Shen Ningning came out with medicinal materials and sent spiritual spring water. Grandma Qin also visited Granny Chen from time to time, and she got better.
She scratched her face with her little hand: "Brother Chen, even if I can take you there, I can't take you there now."
Chen Ye said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter if it takes two days. I want to see my mother again with my own eyes. Please help me, Miss." ."
Seeing that he was about to kneel down, Shen Ningning quickly helped him up.
"Okay, I'll find a way for you, don't worry first."
Chen Ye's eyes were red with frost: "Chen Ye can't repay Miss' kindness. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay you like a horse."
Shen Ningning He tilted his little head and asked, "Brother Chen, do you have somewhere to go now?"
Chen Ye shook his head: "The guards in the city are even tighter, so I can only find a place to hide temporarily."
Shen Ningning bit her lower lip, thinking back and forth . After struggling a few times, he said, "I'm planning to rent a granary." "If there is no problem, you can hide inside for a while. When it is safe, I will take you to see Granny Chen."
Chen Ye was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly thanked her profusely.
Shen Ningning told him to wait in the alley and follow their carriage later.
Afterwards, the little one let the two men selling wood lead the way. She took Wuchun and the twenty guards of the prime minister's palace straight to the granary.
Xie Yuanjiu heard the news of their departure and walked out quickly.
But she saw Shen Ningning's car driving away in a cloud of dust. She was about to step forward to see where the little guy had gone.
Unexpectedly, a black figure suddenly flashed out of the alley and chased the carriage away.
Xie Yuanjiu was startled and hurriedly hid half of her body in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
She didn't notice until she was sure they were far away, with a suspicious look on her face.
"Why did Shen Ningning buy so much wood for two thousand taels? Who was that person just now?" She murmured in a low voice.
She called the maid and asked her to send someone to keep an eye on Shen Ningning secretly.
"Report everything to me, no matter how big or small it is." She suspected that Shen Ningning was going to cause big trouble!
And this will be her opportunity.
Shen Ningning went to the abandoned granary and took a look around.
The granary is surrounded by a courtyard. There are six in total. It covers a wide area and is as large as a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
The seller of the granary, a family of four, lives in the small courtyard inside the granary.
Knowing that Shen Ningning was here to buy a granary, they looked her up and down and saw that she was well-dressed. They immediately said, "One price, three thousand taels, no bargaining!"
Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips and put on airs on her small face. It's true.
"The granary is so big, there are hundreds of holes."
"The eaves are falling off. It's not just abandoned, it's simply desolate."
"It would cost me a lot of money to repair a place like this, but you ask for three thousand taels? Huh, no. Buy it!" She turned and left.
"Hey! Miss! You stay, you stay." The seller caught up and said, "Then... two thousand taels."
"Five hundred taels, not a cent more. If you don't agree, let's not talk about it." Shen Ningning said with a firm look. .
The seller was stunned, then gritted his teeth: "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels. Then, I can't leave these things for the lady."
He pointed to the rakes used for plowing in the warehouse.
Shen Ningning nodded, she didn't need these things.
The little guy winked at Munchun.
Wuchun immediately stepped forward and handed over the two hundred taels of silver notes with a majestic expression.
"You have three days to move out and clear out all your things. We will arrange for two people to stay and watch."
"On the day you move out, the warehouse owner will take the land deed and come with me to the government to sign the deed."
The seller hurriedly said: "It won't take three days. We can move out today. I'll go over the land deed with you. When I get back and give you the money, we'll leave."
Late spring looked at Shen Ningning. When the little guy nodded, she took the initiative to call two guards. , leave with her.
In late spring, I'll go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and get some money.
Shen Ningning directed the guards to move the wood with the two men selling wood.
After a lot of work, until evening, the granary filled with wood belonged to the little guy alone.
Six warehouses were crowded with piles of wet wood.
Shen Ningning placed Chen Ye in a small room behind the granary and left him some water, ingredients and dry biscuits, so that he could deal with it for a while.
But in the next two days, she never found a good opportunity to take Chen Ye back to the village.
However, that day, as soon as she left the overseas school, she saw a bodyguard in brown robes walking towards her in a dusty state.
"As a humble official, please see the princess. I am sending the letter to you on the order of His Highness the Crown Prince."
As he spoke, he presented the letter with both hands.
Shen Ningning blinked her round black eyes and saw that there was a blooming pink peach blossom pinned on the dark yellow envelope.
