Chapter 489: Quietly

"No, no. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The short man waved his hand again and again: "It's not easy for you brothers and sisters to get some meat to eat, how can I take your rations?"

"Uncle, if you don't help from time to time, our life will not be able to go on. ”

Ling'er took a straw rope out, tied a knot on the half of the pig's head with both hands, handed it to the short man and said, "You can take it." It's so hot, we can't eat it and it will go bad. ”

Speaking of this, she was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "This pig's head was not bought with money, it was a pig that floated from the river a few days ago." The second brother and a few of them scooped it up and gave us this pig's head. After two days, it tastes a little. ”

If it weren't for the fact that there was really nothing at home that could get a shot, how could she be embarrassed to reward her uncle with this smelly pig's head meat?

Hearing her say this, the short man no longer shirked.

Without these ten big money, the mother-in-law of the family will be chattering again. With this half of the pig's head meat, it's also easy to make a difference.

He knew that only dead pigs were floating from the river. But it's very good for the most inferior people like them to be able to mix food and clothing, where are they qualified to pick fat and thin?

Ling'er held the money tightly and ran out of the alley. Out of the alley and go to the second room, there is a Lang Zhong. He has a good temper and is not expensive to see a doctor, and people in the neighborhood are looking for him to see a doctor.

As she ran, she suddenly felt heavy in her steps, a pang of boredom in her chest, and nausea and vomiting.

What's wrong with me? Ling'er was at a loss for a while. No, I can't fall, my brother is still waiting for me to ask Lang Zhong to go back.

She endured the discomfort and walked slowly against the wall. finally walked to the door of Na Langzhong's house and patted the door, but he couldn't support it anymore and passed out. Her complexion slowly began to turn yellow, and her symptoms were exactly the same as those of her brother.

……

In a beggar's shack in the middle of the city.

A middle-aged beggar with a broken left arm was scolding: "This damn weather is too fucked up! I knelt in Nanshi for a day, and I almost fainted from the heat to get these money." ”

Another unkempt beggar advised: "There is a disaster in the north, and there are many more displaced people in the city, and there are fewer people on our hands. ”

The beggar with the broken arm was about to scold again, when suddenly he had a convulsion, and he passed out foaming at the mouth, and his face was like gold paper.

In front of these two people, it was a pot of boiled chicken bone porridge.

A chicken they fished out of the water ate for three days and was satisfied. This last bit of chicken bones is simply boiled into porridge, which is also a little meaty.

The same situation occurred in Luoyang City, more than a dozen. One thing they have in common is that they have eaten dead fish and pigs caught from the water, and they have eaten them for two or three days.

However, those who eat these foods are people who really can't survive. When they get sick, they either grit their teeth and get through it, or ask a You Fang Lang to prescribe a few doses of medicine. Even if he died, he was silent and no one paid attention. You can't stir up a ripple in this city.

……

Prince's Mansion, backyard.

The maid and the mother-in-law are busy going in and out of the courtyard of the crown princess Fu, and the prince is leaving for Dizhou tomorrow, and the Fu family is preparing an itinerary for him.

It is not trivial for the prince to go out, and there are many cages in the courtyard. The luggage inside, from a full set of Hangzhou silk bedding, incense burner, the prince's usual pen and ink, to seven or eight sets of clothes from the inside to the outside, and even a night incense barrel, are extremely detailed.

Fu Shi was bending over, personally inspecting these accompanying items, picking out some from time to time.

"Changed these boots. She pointed to a pair of navy blue silk boots embroidered with gold thread in the cage. The prince is going to disaster relief, and he is dressed too brightly, which is a little out of place.

Shui Lan stepped forward and bowed her knees to report: "Crown Princess, Mrs. Liu and Shopkeeper Yu have arrived." ”

Fu clapped his hands and ordered: "You pick it up first, and then cover it when I come back and see it." ”

Mrs. Liu is her second aunt, who is engaged in the rice and flour grain business, especially in the Gyeonggi area. In this business, my mother has 20% of dry shares, and there are huge profits and dividends every year. Mrs. Liu's picture is to make her father, who is a member of the third grade, turn a blind eye, and occasionally say two good words.

After Fu became the crown princess, his contacts with Mrs. Liu became more frequent. With her name, Mrs. Liu did business in the area of Gangnam Province.

After entering the room, Fu Shi motioned to Shui Lan to clear the little maid ten feet away, and guarded the wide open door before entering the hall with peace of mind.

Mrs. Liu's face was rich, and she stepped forward to greet her with a radiant face.

Fu Shi sat down on the main seat and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Shopkeeper Yu lowered his voice: "It's all done, please rest assured the princess." Yesterday, we deliberately delayed until the afternoon to transport the grain, and the hundreds of loads of grain arrived in the second half of the night when the warehouse was finished. The people on the other side of Tongcang are all familiar with each other, so they don't care about us anymore. Fifty percent of the old grain was exchanged for unknowing. ”

Although he said this, Fu Shi was still a little worried: "It's the prince's errand, what if this is a good thing and affects the prince?"

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "It's just to take it for the victims to eat, so that you don't have to worry about chaos." It's just old grain, and the taste is a little worse. It's good to have something to eat, but where can you get a good share? Moreover, it's only half of it, and half of the new grain!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Fu Shi and saw that she was still worried, so she opened her five fingers wide, shook them in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Crown Princess, this order is done, there is this number." ”

Fu Shi looked incredulous: "Five thousand?"

Mrs. Liu smiled mysteriously and whispered in her ear: "Fifty thousand." ”

"What?" Fu Shi whispered, her breathing became short, there were so many? She remembered that before she left the cabinet, her mother had said that her family's dry shares with her second aunt could have three or four thousand taels of silver a year.

That's a full year's dividend, and this is just once, you can have 50,000?

Mrs. Liu nodded affirmatively at her and said, "You're alone." ”

Fu Shi took a low breath, calmed down, and said, "Okay." What's the difference between old grain and new grain, just don't go hungry. Second aunt, there is one thing, you must promise me. ”

"No problem. ”

"You must keep an eye on such a big thing, and don't make any mistakes. If the prince finds out, don't talk about you, even I can't eat and walk around. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded and agreed: "You put your heart in your stomach, and the food is mixed together, and the prince can't tell it." ”

Fu Shi thought to himself, too, the prince is not familiar with popular affairs, and he can't even distinguish between green onions and leeks, where can he still distinguish between old grain and new grain? But somehow, there is always a feeling of apprehension in his heart.

"The crown princess doesn't have to worry. This batch of grain is for disaster relief, and the victims are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot. When you get to the place, it will be finished in a few moments, and when you have eaten it in your stomach, what else can you leave behind?"
