"We've been giving porridge like this for three days, but the victims outside the city are still not in good hands, so I think it's better to open another porridge shack, so it can't be alleviated," Chan Yi said as she took out the account book and handed it to Mrs. Xia, "This is the account book for the three days of soup kitchen." ”

Old Madam Xia took the account book in her hand and flipped through it casually, and said with a smile: "You are a careful person, so it seems that it is feasible to have more porridge sheds," she said, turning her head to look at Princess Guangning, "I don't know how much rice and grain the princess plans to collect, so that it is convenient for us to prepare." ”

Princess Quang Ninh was very surprised, listening to the meaning of their words, it seemed that they could take out as much rice and grain as she wanted.

She couldn't help but ask, "How much rice is left in your family?"

Mrs. Xia smiled, turned a few pages of the account book brought by Zhang's mother and handed it to Princess Guangning: "After the New Year, our family received a lot of rice grain and put it on the top of the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city. ”

Princess Guangning glanced at the account book and was taken aback by the rice and grain figures on it, "This, this is too much!"

With so much rice, even two months' worth of porridge is enough!

Princess Guangning was very surprised, it turned out that those rumors in Yunfu City were true, the Xia family actually hoarded so much rice and grain, could it be that they really planned to secretly buy and sell rice and grain when the price of rice was soaring?

Old Madam Xia saw that Princess Guangning's face was surprised at first, and then changed into a subtle expression, she smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's not a particularly good rice, it's the most common indica rice produced in the south, but because this kind of rice will produce at least two seasons a year, and the price is cheap, so I bought more, since it is a disaster relief, saving one more person is saving one more life." ”

Princess Guangning suddenly realized that indica rice is not as delicious as japonica rice, and indica rice can't be sold at any price, so many indica rice has been hoarded, and it is all hoarded at the beginning, naturally it is impossible to resell rice grain, how can anyone know in advance what will happen in the future!

She agreed: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, originally I had some doubts before I came, but after seeing you, I realized that those were all rumors, and I couldn't believe it." ”

Old Madam Xia said: "Rumors stop at the wise, our Xia family is not afraid of someone maliciously slandering behind the scenes, some things only need to look at the results to know." ”

Hearing this, Princess Guangning couldn't help nodding, "It's really an old feudal monarch like you who can be as stable as Mount Tai, if this matter is put in our house, I'm afraid that I can't help but find out the black hand behind this!"

Old Madam Xia smiled and said: "The princess is young, when you live to the age of my wife and me, you will know that the fake can never become true, and time will always prove it." ”

Princess Guangning nodded with a smile, took a few sips of tea, and then said: "I was originally just making fun, since you still have more rice and grain at home, then I will give me two hundred stones, and I haven't checked the price of indica rice in Yunfu City, and I will send you the silver money after a few days of checking." ”

Now the price of rice in Yunfu City has risen more than three times, even indica rice is ridiculously high, how can an old man like Mrs. Xia be willing to ask for the money of Princess Guangning, she was busy and said: "The princess said this, but she looks down on us, everyone is for soup kitchen, not to make money, how much silver money was used when our family bought it, you will give us as much silver, if you give it according to the current market price, our family has really become the person who resells rice and grain?"

Princess Guangning originally didn't want to take advantage of the Xia family, so she said this, but after listening to Mrs. Xia's words, she dispelled her thoughts and said in a loud voice: "If you say so, then I will be disrespectful." ”

……

After Princess Guangning left, Chanyi lightly helped Mrs. Xia rub her forehead and asked curiously: "Grandmother, our family has never had anything to do with the Guangning Palace, why did Princess Guangning suddenly come to our house today? Is it just for the matter of rice and grain?"

Mrs. Xia is old, and she is not comfortable after a long time of socializing, although she has been conditioned a few days ago, but these days she has had some seizures, and at this moment she was rubbed on her forehead by her granddaughter's soft little hands, which was slightly relieved.

She said in a deep voice: "How do you know, now there are rumors everywhere in Yunfu City that our family has hoarded a large amount of rice grain, and we are waiting for the price of rice to double again, and we will resell it to make money to post the future of a few brothers in the family.

Chanyi was dumbfounded when she heard it, this is different from the rumors she heard a few days ago, it is simply a change every day!

She hurriedly said, "Then Princess Guangning came to our house for this matter?"

The corners of Old Madam Xia's frowning eyebrows gradually loosened: "Do you know who was the person who ordered that woman to be taken away a few days ago?"

Chanyi looked at Mrs. Xia curiously, her clear eyes rolled, and she suddenly spit out three words:

"King of Quang Ninh!"

Old Madam Xia bowed her head, "The King of Guangning originally received the imperial order to check the disaster on the outskirts of the city, but I don't know what else was assigned by the emperor later, and the matter of this disaster fell on the shoulders of the princess," she said, she paused and glanced at Chanyi deeply, "This is our family's opportunity, as long as we seize this opportunity and let Princess Guangning stand on our side, she will help us clarify the rumors, and these rumors will be self-defeating." ”

No wonder the look on Princess Guangning's face was so bad before, it turned out that it was because she heard such rumors.

……

After a few days, Princess Guangning's porridge shed was set up, and many people inquired that Princess Guangning had received rice grain from the Xia family, and they also came to collect it.

Gradually, the rumors about the Xia family in Yunfu City faded a lot, and the women who were imprisoned before were relieved, saying that they were originally residents of the suburbs of Yunfu City, because there were more and more victims, and she came up with the idea of pretending to be a disaster victim to attack the official eunuch's relatives, as a threat, to grab some gold and silver property, but the day after she let go, she died violently, and people sighed, God really has eyes, such a wicked person can't even stand it.

But Chanyi knew that there must be an inside story about this matter.

Just when she felt that something was wrong and wanted Shen Shuofeng to investigate, a message suddenly came from Yanmen Pass and nailed her whole person to the chair.

According to the news, the three princes collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and the prince ignored his serious injuries and fought fiercely with the Tartars for nine deaths, and his life was in danger!
