Chapter 274

She also felt that something was wrong: "madam, I just collected grain in the field. At this time, the price of grain should be the lowest in a year. How could it go up?"

"It's hard to say." Shi Xiaorui frowned, "is there no omen? Yesterday's price is still the same, today it's all up? "

"Yes, it was Shanxia who bought it yesterday. There was no change."

"Strange, strange." Shi Xiaorui was a little at a loss. She noticed something not so good, but because of the small amount of information, she couldn't make a correct judgment.

"Don't mention it. Let's cook first, or we won't be able to catch the meal." She doesn't want to let Xinmeng worry. She sends her to cook and finds something for her to do, so that she won't think about it.

Xinmeng didn't doubt that he was there, so she went straight into the kitchen to cook.

When Lu Shao came back at noon, after lunch, the two children went to take a nap. Shi Xiaorui told Lu Shao the news of the rise in food prices.

It's not like in modern times. There is no news about "people all over the country welcome the rise in oil prices". Whose daughter is married far away, and sometimes she doesn't get to know each other any more. Except for the possible national intelligence agencies, only the caravans and escort agencies who travel south and North are the most well-informed.

Lu Shao was also surprised by the news. He had been busy all morning, but of course he had not been to the market. If Shi Xiaorui hadn't told him, he would have known nothing about the news.

"Don't worry. In the afternoon, I'll go out with brother Qu to inquire about people." Lu Shao has a headache. If it's just the rising food prices in the capital, if it's the same in other cities and towns, then the meaning behind it is not so good.

He held Shi Xiaorui in his arms: "I'm here, don't worry."

Shi Xiaorui fell into his arms, closed his eyes and smelled the familiar smell on him, feeling that he was surrounded by a deep sense of security.

She gave a soft answer.

Lu Shao didn't stay at home for long, so he went out to explore the news.

When he came back, he didn't bring any good news: "not only the capital, but also the prices of food, vegetables and meat in several nearby towns have gone up."

"Further afield, we have to wait for the news to come back. The specific reason for the price rise has not been found out, but we can make some preparations first. "

Lu Shao took out a piece of paper with something painted on it. Shi Xiaorui didn't understand what was painted on it for a long time.

Lu Shao pointed to the thing in the center that he couldn't recognize, and said, "this is the drawing of the cellar that brother Qu and I made before."

Looking at Shi Xiaorui, he said: "originally, we planned to wait and see for a few days. After all, Chen's affair has not come to an end. Originally, we thought that if the situation is not good, we would leave the capital and live in another place, so we don't have to rush to build the cellar. But now, we'd better make preparations in advance."

"Or shall we go back to the village first?" Shi Xiaorui said that she still has a deep-rooted sense that there are more land in the countryside than in the city, and the situation should be better.

"We can't go back to the village for the time being." Lu Shao explained: "now that the crops have been harvested, there are only some straw stubbles left in the field. There is nothing bare. Even if the crops are replanted, there will be no harvest for a while and a half."

He took Shi Xiaorui's shoulder and said in a lower voice: "the capital is the capital at any rate, and the city wall is the highest configuration. It's safer. The place in your home is flat. Who can escape?"

Shi Xiaorui suddenly opened her eyes, and her voice was as small as a gnat: "are you really going to fight?"

"Not necessarily." Lu Shao said, "the prices of food related items have gone up. It's really like that. But if there's a war, it's time to get ready for conscription. But now there's no movement."

"Conscription?" Shi Xiaorui suddenly became nervous. How could she forget such a big pit! A clenched Lu Shao's sleeve, "in case of conscription, will you be conscripted away?"

Lu Shao suddenly laughs, his little wife sometimes has no common sense of a little cute.

He explained to her, "the military household system and the recruitment system are implemented in our court. The military household system means that every family has to send people to serve as soldiers from generation to generation; The recruitment system is to put up notices to recruit people who are willing to join the army. However, most of them are willing to go. It's good for such soldiers to get together and expect them to fight for anything and not run away. "

"That is to say, no one in our family will be arrested to join the army?" Shi Xiaorui was relieved.

Her history is not good, and she knows little about the ancient military system. She reads more from the works of some poets, such as "the year before last, there was no full division under the city.".

Such a tragic scene, the fighting in the age of cold weapons, even if they can survive from the battlefield, they are very likely to die of subsequent wound infection, tetanus and so on.

Shi xiaoruiguang, who grew up in the age of peace, can't bear to read the tragic words in his poems. What's more, it may happen around him?

Lu Shao noticed her trembling and still held her in his arms.

He was tall and strong, with a resolute look and a loud promise: "I won't join the army. Don't worry."

Shi Xiaorui doesn't want to talk.

Lu Shao continued: "according to the conscription system of the previous dynasty, I'm the only male in our family. Lu Ming is not so young, and I won't be conscripted again."

"Is there such a standard?" Shi Xiaorui asked, what she thought of conscription was to forcibly capture the middle-aged man in her family, sometimes as long as he was a man.

"Well, even if someone refuses to follow the rules, just take some silver."

Shi Xiaorui finally put down her heart: "I'll make more money as soon as possible, and redeem you at that time."

She was in a good mood and Ken was joking.

Lu Shao also said with a smile: "then wait for my wife to save me. It's a pity that I have promised my wife in my life. What can I do in return? "

Shi Xiaorui was amused by Lu Shao's rare humor.

Lu Shao is good at everything, but he is a little bit... What's his name? Yes, he is a little sullen. A lot of words are choked in my heart, is not willing to take the initiative to say, let others (this other people especially refers to Shi Xiaorui) guess.

It's estimated that such a witty remark has burst out with great potential.

Shi Xiaorui is not willing to leave this embrace, it will be windy, hiding in his arms is warm: "in this way, you don't have to worry about other things, that is to grasp the dig cellar?"

Lu Shao nodded and remembered that Shi Xiaorui could not be seen. He said again: "yes, and in order to keep secret, it's better to dig only by brother Qu and me."

"Just the two of you? How long will it take to dig! "

There is no excavator at this time!
