Chapter 418 Who is behind the scenes
"I will. When I was most desperate, it was my wife who reached out to take me in and be kind to me." The corners of Zhao''s lips curled up slightly, and she lowered her head and was busy washing the dishes, but aplex look shed in her eyes.
Today, the children rested for a bath, and for a while, the front yard suddenly became lively because of the twins teasing each other.
Xiao Ruo watched the young masters having fun, and said gratifiedly, "Ma''am, I thought the young master and Miss Biao had gone back, won''t they get used to it?"
"Hehe, there''s nothing I''m not used to. Chenyang and the three of them have to go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion." Yang Lan''er smiled.
People can''t live without them, just get used to it.
Besides, children are the most adaptable.
"Mother, are you up? Is my sister good?" Kun''er hugged Xixi and ran to Yang Lan''er, her round eyes were bright and pure, and she reached out to touch her slightly protruding belly.
There was even more joy in the dark eyes.
"Mother." Yu''er walked over quickly, and stood beside Yang Lan''er in a regr manner, looking at the slightly protruding belly with a smile in her eyes.
Yang Lan''er rubbed the heads of the two children, and led them into the study.
"Little sister-inw" Su Yongyuan greeted her when he saw her.
"sister inw."
Yang Lan''er nodded to Su Yongyuan and Huang Qiang, and nced at Miss Qin Lan who was sitting silently beside her.
"Lan''er is here, sit here." Tan Anjun patted the chair beside him.
Yang Lan''er smiled: "You guys keep talking, I''ll watch the children y chess."
Taking the children, sitting at the small table, silently watching the two brotherspete, it feels veryfortable.
From the time the children had to go to ss every day, she was busy with her own affairs. It had been a long time since the three of them, mother and son, had gotten along so warmly.
Yang Lan''er sat and watched, and always felt that her mouth was a little dull, so she said to Xiao Ruo: "Go and bring some tes of dried bayberry and red dates in honey sauce."
Xiao Ruo nodded and went out.
She raised her ears and listened to them talking about buying grain and grass, from their few words.
Yang Lan''er learned that there is a force secretly preventing and sabotaging their acquisition n, and the food and grass received in the past two days are very little, which is pitifully small.
In the past two days, they have not found out who is doing the sabotage and obstructing them.
The winter on the border is extremely long, and the dripping water turns into ice. If there is not enough food and grass to survive the winter, and the enemy invades, the border will be in danger this year.
"Jun, who do you think is behind the scenes?" Su Yongyuan asked.
Tan Anjun nced at him indifferently, sitting at the desk, ying with the storage ring Yang Laner gave him with his slender fingertips, thinking for a moment: "If you want to prevent us from purchasing grain and grass, and worry that we will receive grain and grass, there are two kinds of things. Humans, one kind, the Turkic foreign enemies, they burn, kill and loot everywhere after the autumn harvest every year, and the other party must not want to see that we have enough food and grass for the winter.”
"The other type is internal troubles and political enemies. This type is more extensive. All factions in the court may be involved, and political enemies may be at odds. There are many."
"The drought this year has just passed, and the grain nted by themon people has not yet been harvested. Even if it is harvested, themon people may not have surplus grain to sell." Su Yongyuan scratched his head irritably.
Besides, the vigers have to pay taxes after the autumn harvest. Although the imperial court exempted 10% of the tax this year, they still have to pay 20%. The remaining food may not be enough for the family.
At this time, Xiao Ruo came in with a tray.
"Little girl, let''s serve some dishes here." Su Yongyuan beckoned.
