Chapter 6385

"I'll go to Xiaocao's house later to see how she's doing. I have a textile factory over there. If Xiaocao's mother is willing, I'll let her work there so that the family can at least have something to eat."

"Ah, if you hadn't told me, I'd have forgotten about it. You're so thoughtful. I didn't think so much. I just wanted to save her and bring her back home. No wonder everyone admires you. You're really more thoughtful." Yang Yuan looked annoyed.

"You did a good job."

"Then I'll go with you. I don't have anything to do today anyway."

"Okay, what about you?" Ping An looked at Zhao Xiang.

"I'll go with you too. You two girls, don't suffer." Zhao Xiang said with a smile, obviously in a very good mood today.

"Then let's go together."

Ping An stood up, Zhao Xiang paid the silver, and the three of them left the restaurant and went to Xiaocao's house.

Xiaocao didn't have a home anymore. Now she lived in a dilapidated shack with wind leaking from all sides.

Seeing them coming, Xiaocao excitedly introduced them to her mother, and Xiaocao's mother thanked the three people profusely.

"Don't you even have a house to live in?" Ping An looked puzzled. There were not many people in Kyoto who were so poor.

"Originally, I had one, but the child's father lost. Today, Xiao Cao was sold. Tomorrow, I guess I will sell my son and me."

Xiao Cao's mother's eyes were red, and she hugged her son tightly.

"Since you know everything, what are your plans?" Yang Yuan frowned and asked, thinking that this bastard was really a piece of shit. If he was in front of her, she would definitely beat him to a pulp!

"If it's convenient, can you ask a few nobles to take my son and daughter away? My head of the family said that my son will be sent to the palace to be a eunuch later." Xiao Cao's mother looked desperate.

Ping An frowned and looked at the little boy when he heard this. The little boy was like a bean sprout. He was really thin and small. He looked very pitiful, but his eyes were pretty good, black and bright.

"If I say that I will take you three mothers away, you can go to work, and I will definitely let you have enough food and warm clothes, are you willing?"

Xiao Cao's mother was slightly stunned when she heard this, "My lord, what you said is true, you are not lying to me, right?"

"But, can you bear to leave your man?"

This must be asked clearly, otherwise this woman will not be reluctant to leave the man, and then she will become a bad person.

"That damned one! Even if he is chopped into meat paste, I don't want to look at him again! My eldest daughter was harmed by him!" Xiao Cao's mother hated Xiao Cao's father.

"In this case, remember what you said, pack up and follow me." Ping An originally wanted to settle them in the textile factory, but thinking that it was not suitable there, it would be better to go to the farm outside the city and try not to let them show up.

Xiao Cao's mother couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, she felt like she was dreaming.

She quickly packed her things, but there was actually nothing to pack. All the clothes were pawned, and the three mothers only had a small package with countless patches on it.

"Where was your eldest daughter sold to?" Ping An asked.

When Xiao Cao's mother heard this, her body trembled violently, and tears fell down, "She was sold to Chunxianglou."

She also wanted to ask the nobleman to help redeem her daughter, but she felt that she was too much. It was a great blessing to be able to save Xiao Cao and her youngest son.

"Zhao Xiang, go redeem her and bring her to the farm."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zhao Xiang did it immediately.

Xiao Cao's mother knelt down in front of them immediately after hearing this, crying and thanking them.

Zhao Xiang left with his people. Yang Yuan kept watching his leaving figure. Zhao Xiang looked back before getting on the horse. Yang Yuan's face turned red, but she didn't dodge anymore, but looked at him and smiled.

Zhao Xiang felt warm in his heart and got on the horse and left.

Ping An took the third daughter out of the city first. Yang Yuan said that she was fine, so she followed him.

When they arrived at the farm, Ping An settled the third daughter in the yard where Xiao Li and her family had lived before. Xiao Li and her family had moved to the new yard.

This courtyard is quite remote, and few people come here.

Not long after, Zhao Xiang brought Xiaocao's sister Xiaohua back.

Seeing their eldest daughter come back, the family of four cried bitterly.

Ping An settled them down and was about to go back to the mansion.

It was time for Yang Yuan to go back, too. The three of them went back to the city together. When they parted, Zhao Xiang looked around at the two forks in the road, not knowing who to send off.

Ping An was amused by him, "You go and send off Sister Yang. She is a very good girl and is suitable for you. Let the emperor grant her marriage as soon as possible!"

Yang Yuan blushed and lowered her head, feeling happy.

Zhao Xiang's face also blushed, and he sent Yang Yuan off.

Ping An went back to Luo Mansion by himself.

...

In the following days, Ping An often met Meng Huo, and everyone had a peaceful life.

After the seeds were planted in autumn, they waited for the harvest.

However, before the seeds sprouted, news came from the border that the Yi Kingdom declared war on the Zhou Dynasty and had now occupied three cities!

Ping An was not too surprised when he heard the news. Luo Sheng looked at his daughter's calmness, which was completely different from the other female relatives, who all exclaimed or widened their eyes.

"Qingqing, did you expect this a long time ago?" Luo Sheng couldn't help asking his daughter. He didn't know why, but he always felt a sense of trust in his daughter, as if he could ask her anything.

"There was a snowstorm two years ago and a flood in the middle of the year. There have been so many troubles in our country this year. If Yi Guo wanted to invade, it would definitely be at this time. There were floods in the south and there was almost no food harvest. Even if we had to send troops, there would be no food and grass." It’s hard to supply.”

Luo Sheng nodded. In fact, he was not surprised. He just didn't expect his daughter to think of so much.

"Also...father forgot that the three kings of the Yi Kingdom were all in Kyoto on New Year's Eve. This is a very obvious signal."

Luo Sheng sighed, "The emperor has appointed King Yi as a general and led 200,000 troops to fight against foreign enemies. There is indeed a shortage of food and grass now."

"King Yi?" Ping An had never heard of this person before.

"Oh, he is the emperor's younger brother. In fact, King Yi was originally the God of War. It's just that you were seriously injured in a battle before you came back. You have been recuperating in the palace for the past year. You are fine now. When he heard that Yi State was invading, he immediately called for troops. Go out and fight!" Luo Sheng explained to her.

Ping An nodded. She really didn't know about this. She only knew about things related to Luo Qingqing. Luo Qingqing's affairs were all related to the back house, so how could they be related to the former dynasty.

"Food and grass are also a big problem." Luo Sheng looked at his daughter.

Ping An smiled when he saw him like this, "Father, there is no need to say more. Zhao Xiang and I are willing to donate all the food! Our food production is extremely high, but it cannot last long. The food for an army of 200,000 is not a small amount. "
