Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

"Okay! I'll buy a few pregnant ewes later."

Shen Heng agreed without moving, sitting on the kang in the side room and looking at the small bronze mirror in his sister's hand: "You look in the mirror every day, what's in it?"

Shen Zhao turned sideways so as not to let him see the image in the mirror.

"Hmph! Just don't let me see it!" Shen Heng jumped off the kang angrily, lifted the curtain and went out to look for Ah Zhu and the others.

Shen Zhao ignored his second brother and continued to check the messages in the shop.

Someone left a message saying that he wanted to buy some ancient clothes, any kind would be fine.

Some people also left messages saying they wanted to buy swords, spears, and halberds, saying that the longer they can be used, the better.

Shen Zhao replied one by one: "Sure, I'll put it on the store once I've collected what you need."

Then she saw several messages from the complaining brother, all urging her to put mutton and copper utensils on the shelves.

It was already spring, and the sheep that needed to be sold in the nearby garrison homes had been sold almost all, and the remaining ones could not be slaughtered, so Shen Zhao decisively rejected the complaint brother's request.

I am quite averse to killing animals, because my brother is not short of food, and I am not short of money, so there is no need to turn the shop into a bloody meat stall.

At this time, the voices of Azhi Niang and her mother Zhang Shanyue talking were heard outside the door.

"His aunt, let me tell you something new. The Qin family's daughter-in-law is pregnant. Gao herself has announced it to everyone."

Zhang Shanyue was surprised: "She's pregnant? How many months?"

"She said it was three months, but who knows if it's true or not? Maybe we can only figure out the month she got pregnant after she gives birth." Ah Zhu Niang said mischievously.

Zhang Shanyue chuckled: "What did Qin Yang say? She must be very happy, right?"

"Why are you so happy? Whose child is your daughter-in-law pregnant with? It's too late to divorce now." Ah Zhu Niang gloated, "Hehe, don't you know that Qin Yang and her daughter are being held hostage by Gao, and they dare not even fart. It's true that evil people will be punished by evil people."

Zhang Shanyue pretended to be shocked: "That's impossible, right? Qin Yangshi is literate, how can she be suppressed by an illiterate daughter-in-law?"

"What's the use of being able to read and write? Gao is such a scoundrel that she gets angry easily. It's not even the end of the first month of the year and she's already beaten Qin Shu twice." Ah Zhu Niang whispered, "I think Qin Yang was also beaten. I saw bruises on her face today."

"Really? This is disobedient and unfilial."

“Who says it’s not?”

Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Gao Qiuqiu is pregnant?

This is really good news.

I just wonder what Qin Yi will feel when he comes back?

Shen Zhao was in a good mood and bought some nice cotton cloth, preparing to make two sets of clothes for himself, his parents, his brother and his sister-in-law.

February is just around the corner, and my father's knighthood tokens will be issued soon. By then, my family will be considered a family of status, so it is natural that we have to dress more decently.

While I was choosing cloth, I suddenly saw several messages coming in.

Shen Zhao clicked on it and saw a message saying: [I have watched the store owner's live broadcast and checked your store address. I want to ask if the store owner is really in ancient times three thousand years ago? ]

[If so, could you provide a contact number? ]

[I don't mean anything else, I just want to buy some herbs from you, anything is fine.]

Shen Zhao thought for a moment and replied, "Of course, but the plants haven't grown yet and the medicine shop is too far away, so I don't want to go into the city to buy for the time being."

The other party replied immediately: [Are there no other plants near your home? I want to test the radiation element value. ]

Shen Zhao didn't understand what he meant, but he still told the truth: "I'm in the northwest desert, there are fewer plants, especially in winter."

[I see, grains and cereals are fine too.] The other party seemed impatient and sent another message: [Your firewood is also fine.] Shen Zhao was thoughtful, and scooped a ladle of yellow millet and a ladle of sorghum from his own grain bag and put them on the store shelf, marking each ladle at 500 coins, and then notified the inspector to buy them.

The grains were quickly bought, and the other party left another message: "I'm going to take them for testing. If you were really there three thousand years ago, these grains must be free of any contamination."

Shen Zhao: "What do you mean?"

[I have no ill intentions, I just want to buy some pure wild herbs, even if they have not been processed.]

Shen Zhao still didn't understand.

Are there any impure herbs?

A few hours later, the person left another message: [Shopkeeper! Are you really here three thousand years ago? Can you help me buy some herbs? I need them urgently. I have sent you the names and quantities of the herbs.]

Shen Zhao glanced at the list of herbs and took out a pen and paper to write them down.

When you have free time, let your second brother go to the county pharmacy to have a look.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. It would be a waste not to make money like this without any effort.

In the evening, the eldest brother and his new sister-in-law came back and brought back a piece of news: he would go to the capital to meet the emperor with the King of Qi and Marquis Wu of Chen the next day.

Because many incredible things happened during the expedition to the Western Regions, the emperor was very curious, so he ordered the relevant people to come to Beijing to explain the situation.

The elder brother glanced at his younger sister and said softly, "I will find time to write back. I'll ask mother to take care of you, your sister-in-law."

Shen Zhao understood what his elder brother meant immediately: "Don't worry, mother and I promise to raise your sister-in-law to be plump and healthy."

The new sister-in-law sitting next to him blinked her eyes in confusion and said seriously: "I'm already this old, why do I need someone to take care of me? You should take care of yourself when you go out."

Shen Xun: "I will pay attention. From now on, you will be a companion to your mother. If you have any problems, just speak up. Don't keep them in your heart."

I have to leave my young wife when she first arrives at the Shen family, which really makes me feel sorry for her.

Chen Zhijun felt sad and quietly reached out to hold her husband's sleeve: "Then come back early."

Shen Xun nodded, touched his wife's head and said gently: "If you feel bored at home, you can go back to your parents' home and stay for a few days."

"I'm not going back." Chen Zhijun got angry when she thought of her third sister's behavior today.

After learning that the King of Qi was not interested in her, the third sister made a scene at home again. Even though she was returning home today, she was not in a good mood and kept muttering that her marriage was snatched away by her fourth sister.

Chen Zhijun felt very aggrieved because her third sister was so unreasonable and her mother didn't even say a word to help her.

Since that's the case, she doesn't want to go back to her parents' home anymore.

On the second day, Shen Xun loaded his bag and rode back to the military camp.

After taking two personal guards with him, he reunited with Chen Wuhou and his entourage, and then rushed to the capital with the King of Qi's subordinates.

More than twenty days passed in a flash, and we finally arrived at the imperial city of Luojing.

First, the emperor summoned them and asked them to set up the altar again to worship the gods. He wanted to see how the miracle happened?

Shen Xun did not dare to disobey, and according to the method agreed with his sister, at noon he fastened small red ropes on each of the offerings given by the emperor.

These red ropes were given to his eldest brother in advance by Shen Zhao. They were the kind of red ropes that were tied around wrists during the Dragon Boat Festival. They were neither conspicuous nor valuable.

After that, they offered sacrifices and asked the court priest to write a letter and put it inside the offering.

Soon, the offerings on the altar disappeared one by one, which shocked the emperor and his ministers.

Thousands of miles away in a department store inn, Shen Zhao was alone in a warehouse, checking the five newly recalled offerings one by one, and couldn't help but smile with joy.

As expected, they are from the royal family, their moves are extraordinary! (End of this chapter)
