Chapter 976 Twelve Letters

Xun Lao hummed proudly: "Why else do you think I, an old man, would follow the boss? It's because our boss is not an ordinary person!"

It was a small family with only a thousand households, and the mistress was a girl, yet she dared to touch the grain in the private warehouse of the aristocratic family.

Really, he’s even braver than Emperor Wu Xing!

Guan Shuli bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "This matter has already been done. It must be done. This matter is dangerous. I ask the two old gentlemen to help lead the students and promote this good thing that will benefit the country, the people and the war."

Xun Lao looked at him and said with a tut, "Old brother-in-law, you are not honest either. You are even more arrogant than our boss."

Old Jing didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart, and thought to himself: After all, this is the kingdom of their Wei royal family, he has to do something to help.

Guan Shuli didn't say anything, just smiled and kept bowing.

He didn't stand up until Master Jing nodded in agreement.

Old Master Jing said, "Guan Shuli, you should also return as soon as possible and ask for some letters from your grandmother. Some families in this world only recognize letters from your grandmother."

In the past, asking Old Lady Guan to do these drastic actions was simply to kill the Guan family’s grandparents and grandchildren.

But things are different now. The emperor has changed, and Duke Yan also said that the Guan family should come out and meet people.

Guan Shuli's heart sank slightly, but he finally agreed: "Well, I'll go back and ask Grandma."

Guan Shuli and Uncle Qin left.

Jiang Dalang didn't go home, but left Taifeng Town directly: "Second Uncle, please tell Xiaomi that I'm leaving for a while. I need to ask General Liang to help me deal with this matter."

"Well, go ahead." Uncle Qin then instructed, "Take some time to catch up on some sleep when you have time. Running around like this and not getting enough sleep is bad for your health."

"...Okay, don't worry, second uncle, I will take good care of myself." After Jiang Dalang finished speaking, he rode away.

In his previous life and this life, it was the Qin family who gave him family love.

No matter how much of an emperor Jiang Dalang/Sheng Ting was, he was still touched.

Snap, he whipped the horse, making it run two points faster... He would help the Qin family and protect the Qin family, and would not let Su Su's family in this life end up like his family in the previous life, which ended in a miserable way because of his negligence and incompetence.

After arriving in the town, Guan Shuli did not go to the Silifang, but went home first.

When Qin Xiaogu saw him coming back, she was surprised and came forward to ask, "You're back, is there anything wrong?"

Now is not the time to go on a mission.

Guan Shuli nodded and said with a smile, "If you have anything, please come to me, Grandmother."

He did not hide it from Qin Xiaogu and told her that Qin Xiaomi was going to seize the aristocratic family's granary.

He also said that they were planning to make a big fuss and transfer the conflicts and dangers to the imperial court.

After all, the benefits ultimately belong to the court, and the dangers and consequences should naturally be borne by the court.

Aunt Qin was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I'm fine. Have a glass of water first, and I'll go call grandma."

Old Madam Guan was very bored. After hearing about the potato seeds, she asked the Qin family for a box of potato seeds. She stayed in the backyard for some time, built a warm shed, and was growing seedlings indoors.

Seeing Aunt Qin coming, she called her, "Granddaughter-in-law, come and see, these wild yams are really sprouting."

"Really? Let me take a look." Aunt Qin smiled, squatted down, and looked at the small hole pointed by Old Lady Guan: "It really has sprouted. It is really possible to grow seedlings indoors."

Madam Guan said, "The temperature isn't low enough yet. I plan to dig up all the wild yams and sweet potatoes I've planted and eat them. I'll wait until winter to plant another batch and see if they sprout."

Madam Guan did what she said and immediately asked the maid to dig out the potato seeds.

Ah this?

Aunt Qin laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. Her grandmother was so funny and always came up with something new.

She quickly told him about the clerk Guan coming back to look for her.

"I'll let grandma watch over me and make sure I don't miss a single potato seed."

Madam Guan said, "Let Ah Huan and the others handle these chores. Granddaughter-in-law, you come with Grandmother."

Although I don’t know what the old man wants to talk to me about?

But there doesn't need to be any secrets between family members.

Besides, there are only three of us, so even if something big happens, there is nothing to keep secret.

"Hey." Qin Xiaogu responded, supported Old Madam Guan, and went back to the main house together.

Seeing this, the clerk dismissed his servants and said, "Master Jing wants you to send a few letters to help with the food request."

"It's just a few letters. Grandma will write them right away. But are you willing to let Grandma write them?" Old Lady Guan asked deliberately.

Guan Shuli smiled helplessly and bowed again: "Grandson sincerely asks for a few letters from Grandmother."

He is willing to get married and have children, which means he has made his choice and naturally will not hide away from the world anymore.

Humph, Mrs. Guan was satisfied and began to order: "Grandson, go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and my granddaughter-in-law, go get the box in the secret compartment behind my bed."

The two of them went to do it separately.

Although Qin Xiaogu knew that there was such a secret compartment in Madam Guan's room, she didn't know what was inside the box.

But very soon, Mrs. Guan opened the box in front of her and took out... a row of private seals and tokens.

Looking at the various private seals and keepsakes that stretched half an arm's length, Qin Xiaogu just wanted to say: That little box can really hold a lot of things.

Old Lady Guan started writing and wrote twelve letters.

Every letter shocked Qin Xiaogu.

Perhaps knowing that she was afraid, Mrs. Guan told her embarrassing stories about herself and the recipient while writing the letter.

"Don't think Guo Xiaoling is the old noble who has the final say now, but when she was little, she got into trouble every day. In order to avoid being punished, she hid in my room and didn't go home. She also asked me not to tell her family and to pretend that she was missing..."

"Listen, this is a terrible idea. If she disappears, no one will be able to sleep. We'll have to search for her all night long."

Qin Xiaogu just listened with a smile without asking any more questions. She occasionally added tea to Mrs. Guan's cup and rubbed her wrists when her hands were sore from writing.

Let the clerk write it for you?

No.

These old people will not just believe in a token, they also have to look at the handwriting. It includes a private seal, a token, a fingerprint, or handwriting. If any one of them is wrong, they will not believe it.

Therefore, by the time Mrs. Guan finished writing these twelve letters, it was already dark.

The matter was considered over only after the assassins were called and the letter was delivered.

"Grandma, let's have dinner." Aunt Qin called Mrs. Guan to eat, and then said, "Grandma, I'm sorry for the trouble you've taken."

Madam Guan waved her hand: "This is not about your family. This is about the invasion of the East Desert people. Can we, the people of Northeast Province, survive?"

He then pulled Qin Xiaogu to sit down and said, "Xiaomi is right. We elders are one step behind her. Otherwise, why would a little girl like her do such dangerous things?"

This danger was originally borne by the imperial court and the Wei royal family, but that kid Wuxing... well, he was probably worried about the attacks from the Western Rong, and also worried that the alliance of aristocratic families in the south would take the opportunity to seize the throne, so he was timid and didn't dare to do all these things at once.

Really, this kid is old too.

"People should have some drive. We should learn from Xiaomi." Old Lady Guan said this out of inspiration.

The Great Wei is lifeless. If it doesn't show some momentum, it will die of old age without the Western Rong, Eastern Desert, or the aristocratic families having to take action.

……

At Captain Tang's camp, Masters Jing and Xun also brought a group of students and told them about asking the aristocratic families to open private warehouses to provide food.

It also explains the importance of this matter.

They were asked to ask their elders at home to agree to open the granaries and send food to the Northeast Province to support the fight against the enemy.

"It won't be in vain. Our family will be recorded in history. After the successful trial planting of high-yield grain and potato seeds, we will be credited with the first merit. If we win, the family that provides food will be credited with military merit."
