All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 288 It is more appropriate to separate temporarily

The spy lowered his voice, looked at Xie Lin and the others as they left, and asked, "Who is the woman Xie San is holding?"

His master had been fighting with Xie San for such a long time, but he had never heard that Xie San had any confidante or anything like that.

But seeing how close that woman was to Xie San just now, could it be that she is the daughter of the former Marquis of Lin'an?

Xia Chan, the most beautiful woman in Chang'an who was once famous in Chang'an City?

Isn't she dead?

The fact that this spy had received such wrong information proves that he is unqualified to be a spy.

However, Xia Chan and the others didn't know that they had been seen by the spies.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't care much.

When fighting, everyone would send out spies to get information about the other side.

It is normal to have some spies in the rear.

As long as they can protect the safety of their families and important industries, having two more spies won't be a big deal.

The couple rode a horse together and came to a valley in the north of the city.

This is the location of the mine that Xie Lin mentioned.

Mines are important resources.

There are many Xie family soldiers guarding this place.

They were managed by Xie Chang.

When Xia Chan and the others came over, Xie Chang was giving a speech. They just watched from the side for a while without going up to disturb him.

But then again, looking at Xia Chan's face, even if no one went up to disturb her, people would still be unable to help but glance sideways and look in her direction.

Look, the person who was being scolded was secretly distracted and glanced at Xia Chan several times.

None of these people's looks escaped Xie Lin's eyes.

Xie Lin looked at this scene and his face became extremely ugly.

However, these people are his eldest brother's people after all. In front of his wife, Xie Lin did not rashly speak up to make a decision for his eldest brother.

However, Xie Lin would not ignore those who kept distracting themselves and looking to the side while being scolded.

Xie Lin remembered all the people who were distracted, and silently looked in the direction of Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu understood what his master meant.

Xia Chan didn't pay attention to these details.

In her opinion, appearance is not something that is determined by oneself, and it doesn’t matter what one looks like.

After Xie Chang finished his work, he came forward to greet them, took them into the mine and looked around.

Xia Chan had a general understanding of the production situation of the mine.

The couple came out of the mine.

Xie Lin asked her where else she was going to look? Xia Chan thought that since she was out, she might as well go and check the food.

They left the mine and went to the granary. Xia Chan looked at the grain harvested this year and found that his second sister-in-law had preserved it very well.

No mold or rot.

Just as she thought, the grain production was insufficient and there were many empty shells in the grain.

When Xia Chan and the others came over, the second sister-in-law was leading a few aunts and some grandmas in the warehouse to pick out inferior grain.

You can pick out the empty shells and feed them to pigs, chickens, etc. As for the edible ones, they will naturally be kept as food for humans.

Xia Chan walked around the granary twice and listened to her second sister-in-law introducing the grain harvest to her.

She nodded, but still felt that the grain production was not enough.

"Although we have a lot of farmland here, the yield is far from enough."

There is a war going on outside now. Except for the twenty or so cities recaptured by Xie Lin, where the residents can live and work in peace and recuperate, the rest of the cities are still fighting.

In a war-torn area, people suffer.

You can imagine how severe the food shortage was.

I have no food and I feel anxious.

Xia Chan decided that her top priority next year would be to research and improve high-yield grain varieties.

After walking around the granary, Xia Chan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on and then went home.

Xia Chan naturally went home to see her children.

Xie Lin called Xie Jiu and asked him to deal with those people today.

"Are you going to cut your neck?"

Although Xie Jiu seems a little silly, he is very ruthless.

However, the other party was also his master's man, so before executing the action, Xie Jiu still confirmed with Xie Lin whether to kill him directly.

Xie Lin frowned.

"Feed the pigs instead."

Xie Lin was not the kind of person who would kill innocent people indiscriminately. It was true that he didn't like those people, but he would not take their lives for that reason.

Let them feed the pigs for a while to temper their tempers.

But of course it can't be fed to pigs in such a intact state.

A beating is necessary.

Xie Jiu understood what his master meant, turned around and stepped back to do his thing.

.........

Xia Chan had no idea what Xie Lin had done.

She was talking to the old lady and Mrs. Xie Su, and they were asking her when she would leave after coming back this time.

After all, Xie Lin still has to go to war.

So whether it was the old lady or Xie Su, they all felt that when Xie Lin left Chan City, he would take Xia Chan and her son with him.

He said he was asking when Xia Chan would leave, but in fact he wanted Xie Lin to stay at home for a few more days, right?

Xia Chan smiled and said, "Grandma, Mom, I won't leave for now. I'm going to stay at home until the spring planting season to see how things go. I want to research some seeds or fertilizers that can increase grain production."

She has nothing to do now, and Xie Lin certainly doesn't want her to go to the front line in the war, so she might as well stay at home for a while and do something more meaningful.

She talked about this with Xie Lin in the evening, and Xie Lin also supported her.

He held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head and whispered, "It would be better for you and the child to stay at home for a while. The front line is very dangerous. I will come back to pick you up when the war subsides."

Although I am very reluctant to be separated from my wife, temporary separation is indeed a better choice.

He could feel more at ease knowing they were at the rear.

Neither of them was the type to be shy, so since it had been agreed upon, then the matter was settled.

Xie Lin stayed at home until the New Year. After having the reunion dinner, he set out for the front line the next day.

Xia Chan personally escorted him out of the city.

The people from the Xie family were also on the city wall, watching Xie Lin and his men walk away.

After the boat he was on had gone far away and was out of sight, Xia Chan turned around and called Xie Su and Xie Yunying to return home.

It was cold today, so they didn't let the old lady out.

The old lady's health has not been good since the beginning of winter last year.

Even though Xie Yunyao would take care of the old lady's body every day, she was old after all, and no matter how much she took care of her, there was no way to restore her body to its youth.

In addition to the old lady's poor health, Magu's health was also very poor.

Now at home, there are special people to take care of Magu, and she just needs to come and chat with the old lady every day.

Speaking of which, it really seemed like the old man's health deteriorated in a matter of seconds.

Even Xie Su, who was still relatively young at only fifty, had become much healthier due to excessive worrying.
