The business of the cold cakes was better, so they worked with some powerful grain merchants.
Others might not have such a knack, but they did.
Although the price might be higher, it shouldn’t be a problem to get another batch of food.
“Just the right amount. Our food shortage isn’t big.” Li Xiao said.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
The couple talked for a while more before leaving the study together.
After leaving the study, Lin Xiaoyue realized that Xiao Yang and Head Fang had not left.
“Use the money in our accounts to see how much more grain we can buy.” Lin Xiaoyue looked at Head Fang.
“Yes, sir!” Head Fang quickly replied.
“It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher. Try to stock up as much as possible.” Lin Xiaoyue added.
“Yes, sir!” Head Fang bowed again.
Only then did Lin Xiaoyue leave with Li Xiao.
She hadn’t had a holiday in a long time, so she would take it as taking the morning off today.
Three days later.
A carriage suddenly arrived in the capital. After entering Qingshi Town, it quickly arrived at Daishi Village and headed straight for the Liu residence.
Soon after, the horse returned to Qingshi Town and went to the Liu residence.
The entire Liu residence was shaken.
Lin Xiaoyue had actually received an imperial edict from the capital.
She went to the front yard to receive the decree in fear.
After hearing the edict and hearing the general situation from the eunuch, Lin Xiaoyue finally knew what was going on.
As it turned out, more than a year ago, the accountant of Ruyi Restaurant, Manager Liang, had entered the Ministry of Finance after returning to the capital.
Then, with the algorithm she taught him, he quickly made a name for himself.
After that, he even became a disciple of the state preceptor.
Following that, Liang Chengcai rose to fame and even gained Emperor Yan’s favor.
This time, Lin Xiaoyue received the imperial edict because of Liang Chengcai’s recommendation.
The reason was that Chu and Jin had already agreed to the Yan Country’s request for peace, but the conditions for the peace talks were extremely harsh.
In order to show their magnanimity, Chu and Jin had sent their mathematicians to the capital of Great Yan, requesting to compete with the mathematicians of the Great Yan.
They also suggested that if the Great Yan could defeat the mathematicians sent by the two countries, the conditions for the peace talks could be reduced by thirty percent.
However, if the Great Yan were to lose, the conditions would have to be raised by thirty percent.
“Madam Li, this time, the Arithmetic Grandmaster that Chu and Jin sent is famous throughout the world. Mr. Liang has personally recommended you to the Emperor. From now on, the honor the Great Yan will depend on you alone.” The proclaiming eunuch bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly returned the greeting.
“Eunuch Gong, it is my honor to serve the court. 1 will do my best.”
The imperial edict was here. How could she not do her best?
The eunuch’s expression improved a little.
“Then please pack up as soon as possible. Tomorrow, we will leave for the capital.”
The people in the capital were urging him to bring her back as soon as possible. After that, there were other arrangements.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
“Alright, then please rest in the residence for a night. 1 will make arrangements at home and set off tomorrow morning.”
It happened too suddenly, and she still had a lot of things to arrange. Putting everything else aside, Li Xiao had to be informed.
Unfortunately, she only had a little more than one night to arrange it.
Eh, no wonder her eyelids kept twitching these two days. What kind of luck was this? Such a thing actually happened…
“Sorry to disturb you, Madam Li.” the eunuch replied.
“It is no trouble.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
She immediately called for servants to bring the eunuch and the others to the backyard to rest.
Lin Xiaoyue only heaved a sigh of relief after they left.
Fortunately, there were not many Nangong soldiers in the Liu Residence.
Otherwise, she would have to worry about exposing herself.
“Go and get…” Lin Xiaoyue suddenly stopped.
“Forget it. I’ll go to the dock to find him myself.” Then, she walked out.
The eunuch who announced the edict came from the capital. It was unknown if he had seen Li Xiao before.
What if they bumped into someone and recognized him? At that time, there would be more complications.
“You, go get Head Fang and tell him not to return to the Liu residence today. When he comes back, meet me at Daishi Village.” Lin Xiaoyue lowered her voice and said to a servant beside her.
Head Fang’s identity was quite special, so he shouldn’t reveal himself.
“Yes, Miss!” The servant quickly agreed.
Lin Xiaoyue then left.
There was already a carriage waiting outside the Liu residence.
Lin Xiaoyue got on the carriage and asked the coachman to ride to the dock.
After locating Li Xiao, the couple returned to Daishi Village..
