Chapter 304: The Reborn Girl’s Cannon Fodder Sister (8)
Lan Xin thought, this must be the lucky charm that System Tuanzi mentioned.
"Husband, wait!"
Seeing Zhao Mingcheng about to push the door open and leave, Lan Xin hurriedly called out to him.
"Madam, is there anything you want to tell your husband?"
Seeing that Lan Xin remained silent, Zhao Mingcheng thought that she could not accept the fact that she was about to go to war.
Unexpectedly, Lan Xin would suddenly call him, which made Zhao Mingcheng inexplicably happy. He turned around and looked at Lan Xin, waiting for her next words.
"You all go down first!"
Lan Xin did not take out the lucky charm given by the system immediately, but turned around to look at the maids and servants waiting in the bridal chamber and sent them all away.
When only Zhao Mingcheng and Lan Xin were left in the bridal chamber, Lan Xin took out the purse in her hand and said, "Husband, this is a lucky charm that can bring peace. It can keep you safe. You must keep it safe!"
"Okay, thank you for your concern, ma'am. I will take good care of it."
Zhao Mingcheng reached out and took the lotus flower handed to him by Lan Xin. He didn't even open it to look at it. After nodding, he put it directly into his arms.
After putting away the purse, Zhao Mingcheng looked at Lan Xin, as if he had something to say.
but......
Zhao Mingcheng looked at Lan Xin for a long time, but in the end he said nothing more. He just said, "Madam, wait for me to come back!" and then turned and left the bridal chamber.
After Zhao Mingcheng left, Lan Xin glanced at the closed door, then looked at the system Tuanzi, and asked curiously, "Tuanzi, how did Zhao Mingcheng die in his previous life?"
Although through the memory of her original body, Lan Xin knew that Zhao Mingcheng died on the battlefield in his previous life.
This made Lan Xin subconsciously wonder whether Zhao Mingcheng was shot to death by an arrow or hacked to death by a sword on the battlefield.
"I'm not sure about this. Let me check it first."
Upon hearing this, the system quickly retrieved detailed information about Zhao Mingcheng's previous life.
After a while......
"Master, I found it!"
The system dumpling's somewhat excited voice came!
"Hmm? Was Zhao Mingcheng shot to death by an arrow on the battlefield in his previous life?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Xin directly asked what she had guessed.
"No."
The system dumpling shook his head and continued, "In his previous life, Zhao Mingcheng was ambushed and seriously injured. Later, due to a shortage of food and supplies for the army, he was anxious to open a grain transport channel and was shot to death by arrows."
"He really was shot to death by an arrow!"
Lan Xin couldn't help but sigh.
System Tuanzi: "I think the main reason why Lord Zhao died in battle was due to a shortage of food and fodder. If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had no food and were starving, Lord Zhao wouldn't have gone to the battlefield with such serious injuries."
"What Tuanzi said makes sense!"
Lan Xin nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since Zhao Mingcheng died in battle due to a lack of food, if I had ensured that he didn't lack food, wouldn't he have died?"
"Master, what do you want to do? Feeding hundreds of thousands, or even millions of soldiers is a huge expense!"
When System Tuanzi thought about spending a lot of money, his eyes subconsciously widened.
Where can we get such a large amount of money to buy food?
By then, even if its owner could come up with so much money to buy food, there wouldn't be so much food for his owner to buy, right?
Lan Xin saw the appearance of System Tuanzi, smiled, and said, "Tuanzi, have you forgotten what your original grandfather did?"
System Tuanzi didn't understand Lan Xin's purpose for asking this question, and subconsciously replied, "Traveling merchant."
Lan Xin: "That's right! Rich businessmen don't just have money, they also have many channels to source goods. Although it's difficult to buy enough food to feed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, it's not impossible."
The system suddenly understood what he said, and then seemed to think of something. It looked at Lan Xin and asked, "But... Master, isn't your original self, no, your grandfather, no longer with us? Who should you buy food from?"
Lan Xin thought of her aunt who inherited her grandfather's family business and smiled nonchalantly, "Grandfather is gone, but I still have my cousin, right? I can ask him for help buying it when the time comes."
"Okay, enough talking. Let me, your master, rest first. I still have to prepare the money for buying food tomorrow."
After saying that, Lan Xin didn't say anything more to the system, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
............
The next morning.
Zhao Hou Mansion.
"Madam, are you awake? The old lady invites you over!"
Lan Xin had just gotten up when the maid knocked on the door!
"Well, now go over there!"
When Lan Xin opened the door, she saw the person sent by Madam Hou to deliver the message standing by her door.
Lan Xin walked past her and headed straight ahead of her towards Madam Hou's courtyard...
"Lan Xin, right? No need to be so polite."
Lan Xin had just walked in when the person dressed like an old lady sitting at the top of the table greeted her warmly.
"You are my sister-in-law, right?"
A little girl sitting below the old lady's eyes lit up when she saw Lan Xin come in, and asked curiously.
This made Lan Xin couldn't help but look at her again.
after all......
According to Chen Mingzhu, this girl named Zhao Xinran is very difficult to deal with.
But looking at her appearance, she doesn't look like a willful, vicious little girl, and the old lady doesn't look like a mean person.
The old lady of the Hou family at the head of the table saw Lan Xin shift her gaze towards Zhao Xinran and introduced her, "Lan Xin, this is my daughter, Zhao Mingcheng's younger sister, Zhao Xinran."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinran immediately stood up and bowed to Lan Xin with a smile.
"You're welcome, sister!"
Lan Xin also smiled at Zhao Xinran and reached out to help her up.
At this time...
A maid came over with tea.
"Ma'am, tea is here."
Lan Xin took the tea from the maid and held it out to Madam Hou with both hands, "Mother-in-law, please have some tea."
"it is good."
Madam Hou took the tea and took a sip, then took out a jade bracelet of excellent quality and placed it on Lan Xin's hand. "My dear child, you've just gotten married and Cheng'er is going to war. I'm really sorry for you. This is our Zhao family's heirloom jade bracelet. I'm giving it to you now."
"Thank you, Mom. I like it very much."
Lan Xin touched the jade bracelet on her hand and felt a trace of spiritual power flowing inside. Even though she didn't know much about jade, she knew that this jade bracelet was a good thing.
It’s really something you’re willing to give up!
It seems that Madam Hou is a really nice person. She is not at all like what Chen Mingzhu said, that she is a mother-in-law who likes to torture her daughter-in-law.
This also made Lan Xin feel that Zhao Mingcheng was worth her bringing food and supplies to rescue him.
