Chapter 359
Xue Jiu thought about it and decided to say it. If the adults were unhappy, he would not have a good life either.
"Girl, I heard that you had a quarrel with the master because he used your donated silver improperly, is that right?" Xue Jiu asked.
"..." Ye Xi was speechless. Wasn't this matter over? Why was it brought up again?
Xue Jiu thought Ye Xi's silence was a tacit agreement, so he explained:
"Miss, you misunderstood. The reason why you bought the inferior rice is so that you can buy more food with the same amount of silver.
Moreover...some benefits still have to be given to local officials, let them take a part of the benefits, and then do the job obediently.
Otherwise, after you leave, I’m afraid they won’t care about the lives of the people, and…”
Ye Xi interrupted him: "This is not important, you don't need to explain."
Xue Jiu shut up and said, "Okay, sir, I can't help you anymore. You are on your own."
After Xue Jiu left, Ye Xi quickly asked Jin Ling to pack her bags. She could finally go home!
Her joyful mood was contagious to Jin Ling, and Yan Wu reported Jin Ling's performance to Wei Jue. He laughed after hearing it, thinking that Ye Xi was like a child.
When he came, he brought a thousand people to transport grain. Now more than half of them have to stay, mainly to disperse to various small towns and supervise whether the people are promoting the planting of new crops as required.
This is the only way to fight drought in this area of Huzhou City - self-sufficiency.
When Wei Jue left, he took less than a hundred men with him, and the other soldiers had to return to their original base.
They were originally personnel temporarily transferred by Wei Jue to transport grain from other places, so not many people left with Wei Jue.
Wei Jue was still in the same carriage as Ye Xi. Ye Xi didn't want to get on at first, but Wei Jue didn't give her any choice.
Wei Jue hadn't been close to her for a long time, so how could he miss such an opportunity?
If it hadn't been for that rain, Ye Xi and Wei Jue would both be smelly.
After all, even drinking water is a problem in Huzhou City, so how can you take a bath, let alone wash clothes?
But when the rain came, Jin Ling quickly did one thing, which was to wash Ye Xi and Wei Jue's clothes.
Not only that, Wei Jue and his group basically took a bath.
So when they left, they were still relatively clean, otherwise they were no different from refugees.
It can be said that Ye Xi really suffered a lot with Wei Jue.
Wei Jue did not think there was anything wrong with this. He believed that husband and wife are one body and should share the joys and sorrows.
Fortunately, Ye Xi didn't know about this idea, otherwise she would definitely despise him.
Whoever is his wife must share the joys and sorrows with him. Let Yao Yushu bear the hardship.
She endured hardships with him, while Yao Yushu enjoyed himself in the capital.
Ye Xi sat far away from Wei Jue in the carriage and wished she was the one driving the car outside, if she didn't know how to do it.
She had not forgotten Wei Jue's shameless behavior in the carriage on the way here, and was afraid that he would repeat the same trick, so she was on guard.
Wei Jue saw through her little thoughts and laughed in his heart. He didn't even look at whose territory this was. Whatever he wanted, could she refuse?
Now that Wei Jue had no official duties to worry about, he began to think about teasing her. He thought that he had been away from her for a long time, so it would be okay to indulge her a little.
But the carriage is definitely not a good place, mainly because you can't move your hands and feet freely.
He thought for a moment, then opened the curtain and let Xue Jiu come forward to listen to his orders.
"Hurry up and get to Fuzhou City as soon as possible. We will rest there for a night."
"Yes, my lord."
