Married a scholar

▍The formation of the Montenegrin Caravan was completed.

He Guanshi looked serious when he heard the words, "Don't worry, two young masters, I will think about it carefully." He Guanshi is not stupid, so he naturally understands what this means.

"Well, if you take someone to buy some necessities, just take them away." The courtyard with two entrances can't accommodate so many people, and Xia Wenze still has scientific research and needs a quiet environment. There are more people here. , where can I be quiet.

"Okay." He Guanshi got up and took away the people who were going to take away, leaving He Fangliang behind.

Meng Yining said to He Fangliang: "In the past few days, you will find someone to build fifteen carriages. They must be strong. In addition, you can collect some dry goods, and you can also collect some medicinal materials." Thinking of something, Meng Yining said again: " It doesn’t matter if the price is higher if you bring someone to collect in the surrounding villages.”

With the plane trader, he is not short of money. After this journey, many gold, silver and jade articles in his hands can be exchanged, so he is not short of money.

Under natural disasters, it's a little bit of help, anyway, it's just a little effort.

He Fangliang responded, "I'll arrange these people first."

"Okay, you guys live in the front yard." The potatoes were put in the backyard by Manager He earlier, and he had already put them away, but he took them out again in the past few days.

Xia Wenze saw that everyone was going down, so he said to Meng Yining: "I'll ask Mr. Su about the horses." All the way to the border, it is definitely not possible to use oxen to pull the cart, but horses are not easy to buy, so buying one or two horses is still worth it. Okay, but they buy a lot, so obviously they can't be bought outside.

"Okay." Meng Yining got up, went into the room, took out a box, and opened it. It was full of all kinds of precious medicinal materials, some of which they dug in Daqing Mountain, and some of them were obtained in the last days.Meng Yining opened one of the small wooden boxes, and inside was a small grass that was as red as blood. "You take this blazing sun grass and give it to Boss Su."

Lieyang grass is a kind of herbal medicine in this world. Unlike blood coagulation grass, this Lieyang grass is designed to treat congenital deficiencies.If there is a baby born in the womb with congenital deficiencies, Lieyangcao plus other medicinal materials can make up for the congenital deficiencies of the child.

He and Xia Wenze only found two plants in Daqing Mountain. I heard that the blazing sun grass is more precious than the blood coagulation grass. They are not short of money now, so he has been keeping it, and now it can be used as a gift.

Horses are easy to buy when you are free, but right now there are wars at the border from time to time, and horses used as military supplies are difficult to buy without special channels.

He originally planned to use money to go to the yamen to make connections to buy. Since Boss Su's family has its own caravan, he must be able to buy horses, or maybe he has a horse farm.

Xia Wenze sighed after hearing the words: "Ning'er, I'm afraid you have sent Mr. Su's heart."

"Huh? What?" Meng Yining looked at him suspiciously, "Could it be that there is someone in Boss Su's family who is born with a deficiency?"

Xia Wenze nodded, "Mr. Su's ambition is not to go into business, so he opened the bookstore, and his eldest brother should take care of the whole house. I have heard that the eldest son of Mr. Su's eldest brother has congenital deficiencies, and he can't leave his mouth all year round. I get sick when I see the wind, and my family is very worried, but it is hard to find Sungrass."

Meng Yining raised his eyebrows, "Then it's just right for me to give this." I didn't expect this to happen.

Xia Wenze took the box, "I think Mr. Su will be very happy."

Meng Yining said: "I think the money for the horses can probably be saved." Since the blazing sun grass that I didn't intend to give has been delivered to people's urgent needs, and they want to buy horses, they shouldn't accept their money.

Not lacking money does not mean that he has to spend money indiscriminately, but the province will save.

Xia Wenze smiled, and nodded solemnly, "Mr. Su would not be stingy with the money for the horse." After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

On the same day, Xia Wenze went to see Mr. Su. As Meng Yining expected, Mr. Su was very excited. Lieyangcao and his family have been making noises to buy it since their nephew was born, but some things cannot be bought with money. Yes, their Su family is just a wealthy family in Guqu County, and there are many rich families who need Lieyangcao, even the masters of the palace also need it.

He didn't expect that his momentary kindness would be rewarded like this. Let alone buying horses, he was willing to let their caravan send them to the border for free.

In the Su family, a delicate ten-year-old boy raised his pale cheeks and looked at his uncle expectantly, "Uncle, did you really buy the blazing sun grass?"

Mr. Su patted his nephew's head with pity, and said in a gentle voice, "Naturally, I have given the medicinal herbs to Dr. Wang. After Dr. Wang recuperates your body, you can take the sungrass."

The sister-in-law of the Su family on the side had tears in her eyes, "Uncle, what can the person who delivered the medicinal materials ask for?" If there is a request, they will definitely satisfy him.

Mr. Su said: "He wants to form his own caravan to go to the border, and wants to ask me to buy some horses."

The Su family's sister-in-law pressed the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Is it just a horse?" If it's just a horse, it's just a trivial matter for their family. "They don't want to form their own caravan. I asked Steward Ren to get in touch with them. I think they may not be clear about some things in it. With Steward Ren's help, it will be easier on the other side of the yamen."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, sister-in-law." Mr. Su showed a smile on his face. Sunflower grass is precious. If it's just about horses, he doesn't think he can thank Xia Xuezi, but his family business is not good either. Intervene, since the sister-in-law has spoken, it would be great. "I sent a letter to my eldest brother, telling him about it, and asking him to let go of one thing."

"Yes, yes, yes, your eldest brother should send a letter, so that he won't worry about it too much." The wife of the Su family swept away the worry on her brows, "I have to tell Aunt Qiu too. In recent years, she has entrusted many people to inquire about the Sungrass."

After solving a matter that the whole family was worried about, Mr. Su got up and left. He had to talk to Xia Xuezi.

The housekeeper Ren came to find him the next day, and after Xia Wenze and Meng Yining listened to his words, they asked He Fangliang to follow him to do these things. Housekeeper Ren knew what to do when he got the words of the mistress He did it, and shied away when he heard the words, and took He Fangliang with him in a very good temper, and told him a lot about some twists and turns in the caravan, and took him to meet some of the caravan leaders who had made good friends with the Su family. People, the yamen even took him for a walk.

There was no need for Meng Yining and Xia Wenze to go again, the medicinal materials and sundry merchandise were sold without spending a penny, and the Su family even provided them with tea and cloth quotations, and the supply of goods was directly obtained from the Su family at the lowest price.

If it wasn't for He Fangliang who knew that his two young masters didn't want to touch other products, the Su family might give them the rest of the supply at the lowest price.

When He Fangliang came back, he handed the four business invitations to Meng Yining. "Steward Ren said that if the young master needs food, porcelain, or even salt, the Su family can get it for us."

Meng Yining raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and took a look at the four business quotations in his hand, "It seems that the Su family is really grateful to us."

Xia Wenze took it seriously, "Fang Liang, let's go rest first."

"Okay." Seeing He Fangliang leave, Xia Wenze said: "It saves us a lot of trouble, so we can set off for the border after the rankings are announced."

"Ah."

The Su family's gratitude saved Meng Yining a lot of work. The Su family provided the horses, and the business quotation was also handled. He Fangliang had already taken people to the surrounding villages to receive the goods.

Meng Yining accompanied Xia Wenze to concentrate on preparing for the exam in two days.

And time is the worst thing to wait for.

Early in the morning, Meng Yining prepared Xia Wenze a cold noodle and a bamboo cup of herbal tea, "Is there anything else that needs to be paid attention to?" Today is Xia Wenze's exam day, Meng Yining and all the parents who sent their children to the exam room Same, always worried that there is something I haven't noticed, and I checked it in circles early in the morning.

There are six exams in total for three days.Fortunately, the college exam is not as strict as the general exam, and you don't need to live in the exam room all the time. You can come out after the exam every day.

This made Meng Yining less worried.

After the college exam, the next thing is to wait for the rankings to be released.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze were not idle either. In the past few days, the two of them wandered around various grocery stores in Guqu County. Some of them needed to be taken to the border, and some were needed for the journey.

Thanks to the Su family's blessing, not only the drug guides and grocery sellers that were originally planned to be opened, but also tea guides and cloth guides.

Meng Yining didn't waste anything, He Fangliang had dry goods, and even medicinal materials, He Fangliang would collect them by the way, but for other things, Meng Yining and Xia Wenze had to buy them, so that they could play tricks on them.

With Tea Yin and Cloth Yin, Meng Yining was naturally not willing to let down the good intentions of the Su family. If they didn't use them, they would think they had hidden bigger demands.

But in this way, fifteen carriages are not enough.

Helpless, Meng Yining had another five carriages built, and naturally there were ten more horses.

Twenty carts, each with two horses, for a total of forty horses.Including Meng Yining's carriage, there are 21 carriages, 41 horses, and 53 people on the way to the border.

Since then, the Montenegrin caravan has been formed.

On the day when the list was announced, Xia Wenze was not doing well, but Meng Yining got up before dawn and woke Xia Wenze up, "Get up, the list will be released today, I asked Fang Liang to reserve a box at Wenhui Building , let's go and wait."

Xia Wenze got up with a good temper, stretched out his hand and pulled him over to kiss him, "I'll make breakfast."

Meng Yining waved, "No, no, let's go to Wenhuilou to eat."

Xia Wenze laughed, "Okay."

After the two of them finished washing, He Fangliang was already waiting in the front yard, "Young Master, Young Master Ning, I have sent someone to watch over the yamen, and I will definitely see the list at the first time."

"Okay, let's go too." A group of three came to Wenhui Building, and there were people who came earlier than them.

Meng Yining sat by the window and looked out, "The restaurants and teahouses here are full of people."

"They're all here to wait for the announcement of the list." Xia Wenze gently stirred the porridge that Xiao Er brought to let it cool down, and pushed the drawer of buns by his side, "Eat first, there is still a while before the announcement of the list."

"it is good."
