Chapter 33: Overturning the Sky (2)

Pingle still felt that he should not tie a court official to the market and be embarrassed, which would make the people's impression of the court official even worse, "It's not a monkey who plays monkey games." ”

Jing Diyi said, "Your description is appropriate, it is indeed a monkey, not even a rabbit." ”

What a monkey and a rabbit must not be a good analogy.

Pingle went to settle the bill, Jing Diyi went to the door of the restaurant to wait first, and before Yangchun Baixue came out, she took over the maid's work as a matter of course, and carried things and paid for the silver.

But fortunately, she spent a lot to report to Bai Xue after she went back, and Lord Feng also privately gave her a big red envelope as a reward for her hard work.

Pingle went out to the door and saw a skinny child dressed in tatters begging for money from passers-by. Pingle pinched his nose, and could smell a smell that seemed to have been left spoiled for a long time, and the child staggered towards Jing Diyi, but he fell, and he subconsciously grabbed Jing Diyi's clothes with one hand, and the black handprints were printed on Jing Diyi's water ripple horse face skirt.

Jing Diyi looked down at him, and he looked up at her.

"Hungry. The child said.

Jing Diyi gave him the toothpick meat packed in his hand, and the smell of meat tempted him to snatch it up with his dirty hand and gobble it up, Jing Diyi looked back at Pingle who was standing stupidly, "Give him some silver." ”

Pingle thought that Jing Diyi would be angry.

She remembered that when she was still a princess, one year she went to incense with Menglian and Menglian's mother, which is now Mrs. Lu, and a lot of beggars gathered outside the temple, and when she saw the arrival of officials and nobles, she rushed forward to beg, and at that time, a beggar accidentally soiled Menglian's skirt when she pushed, and Mrs. Lu let the guards beat the man half to death in a fit of anger.

At that time, she didn't think there was anything wrong, and she thought that the beggar deserved it.

Later, when I became a poor citizen, I learned that the people were suffering, who wanted to be bald if they had hair, who was willing to give up their dignity and such a humble job if they could eat enough and dress warmly, they were all forced by life.

But having said that, she didn't seem to have seen Jing Diyi do anything to people living at the bottom.

Jing Diyi saw that she didn't react, "Has this age already begun to be behind the ears?" ”

Pingle rolled his eyes and gave the kid a silver ingot.

Jing Diyi said to Ping Le, "Let's go." ”

They wandered aimlessly through the streets, and Jing Diyi would stop and take a few more glances whenever she saw someone selling children's clothes, jewelry, and toys. She bought two small silver bells, one for Yinyin and one for the child in her belly.

Pingle thought that it would be good to choose a gift as soon as possible, and when the child was born, she must not be stingy as a sister-in-law, and the gift should not be too light, she said while looking at it, "I hope this child will be as knowledgeable and upright as Lord Feng." ”

Jing Diyi snorted and laughed, "You don't just have your ears behind your ears, go back and let Mu Sheng prescribe you a medicine to clear your eyes and vent your anger." ”

Pingle replied, "If you think he is not good, why should you marry him?" ”

Jing Diyi said, "I didn't say that he was bad, I just said that you were blind behind your ears and eyes, as for why I married him, didn't you Fengfuzi teach you to gather like things, because he is bad in his bones, so I like him." ”

Pingle remembered that before going out, Mu Sheng told her not to intercede with Lord Feng first, so as not to backfire, but she still couldn't help but say, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, can't you forgive Lord Feng, that day I looked at him wrapped in a white cloth in his right hand and worried about whether you had enough to eat, which is very pitiful." ”

Jing Diyi said, "I don't forgive him for what it has to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival, besides, he made me angry, I didn't cut him all over the house with a knife, or simply packed up his baggage and ran away from home, it was already very virtuous." ”

"......" Pingle knew that this was talking about her.

"Did I take care of the affairs between your husband and wife when you beat and scolded Mu Sheng, it doesn't seem to be. So you don't care. What's more, I'm still an elder, and the affairs of the elders can't help you, a junior, talk too much. ”

Kindness is not rewarded, "Mother-in-law is right, it's me who is a junior who has a lot of trouble." "She should just be a cold sideliner, what kind of kindness.

Pingle saw a picture of a child holding a carp hanging on the stall, "I heard that when you are pregnant, you can see more beautiful flowers and grass pictures, and the child will be much more beautiful when she is born in the future." Why don't you buy this painting and hang it in your mother-in-law's room? ”

"There's no need, according to what you say, I'll just look in the mirror every day. Jing Diyi picked two more hats, everything was in duplicate, otherwise Yin Yin would not be noisy, Jing Diyi asked Pingle to settle the bill together.

Ping Le only thought that Jing Diyi was really the most narcissistic person she had ever met, although she did have this narcissistic capital.

Pingle took the things handed over by the stall owner, and found that the child who was begging just now followed them, Pingle said, "Mother-in-law, that child ......"

Jing Diyi said, "We go ours, and he walks his." The meaning is that Pingle doesn't have to pay attention to it.

There was a long queue in front of a certain rice shop, and the queue to buy rice was so crooked that it couldn't see the end at a glance, Pingle was curious, "Is this a price reduction?" If she also went back and asked someone to buy some.

An aunt who was waiting to buy rice with a sack said, "It would be nice if the price was reduced, the price of rice shop has doubled in the past few days, and the price is changing every day, if you don't buy it early, you won't be able to afford it in a few days." ”

Pingle said strangely, "It doesn't make sense, I haven't heard of a disaster or famine, how can the price of rice be raised for no reason." ”

Jing Diyi smiled, "How can it be for no reason, the government and businessmen collude, the business here is yellow, and it has to be earned back from other businesses." Silk can't afford to wear cotton, linen, or even go up the mountain to hunt and skin wild beasts to make clothes, but rice and noodles are different, there is no substitute, what is better than raising the price of rice to make money faster. ”

These people's brains are moving fast.

Pingle said, "You mean that because the casinos are closed, the price of rice has gone up?"

"Didn't my aunt say it, just in the past few days, you yourself said that you didn't hear of a disaster and famine. I still don't understand. ”

Pingle deliberately squeezed to the front to glance at the price of rice, it was really ridiculously expensive, the rice in Jizhou was still three yuan a bucket of rice half a month ago, and now it is actually sold for seven yuan.

Pingle returned to the back and said to the aunt, "Then it can't be that the price of all rice shops is so high, why don't you go to a cheaper place to buy it." ”

Jing Diyi smiled, "You really like to ask stupid questions, will they still line up here if there is cheap rice?" ”

There are some fertile fields on the outskirts of the imperial capital, but it is simply not enough to supply so many people in the capital, so most of the rice sold in the city is transported from other states and counties to sell, and because of the distance, there is no way to dispatch it in a short period of time.

Even if they can bring ...... "they can buy all the cheap rice and grain in the city first, and then raise the price when the cheap rice is gone." ”(https:)
