The eldest lady knelt down in front of the old lady: "Mother, Qing'er knows that she is wrong." ”

The old lady shook her head and sighed: "Zhuang Qing, you are good everywhere, but you are too careful to tolerate Lingyu, this is not what a housewife should have." The eldest lady bowed her head and said nothing. The old lady looked at her and said, "Next time, remember to be fair to Lingyu, I don't want to see this situation again." With that, he walked out first.

Although the eldest lady was unhappy, for the sake of the old lady, she personally brought someone to send some things to Song Lingyu.

Song Lingyu refused a little on the surface, but he had already memorized these things in his heart.

In the next few days, Song Lingyu stayed in the mansion until one day she accidentally heard Zhilan say a few words, and she had the idea of going out.

She was basking in the sun in the yard that day, and then she heard Zhilan who was fanning the wind on the side say: "Miss, the master has been busy lately, I went to the palace today, and when I came back, my whole face was pulled down, do you know?" ”

Song Lingyu flipped through a page of the book and answered, "Oh? What happened? ”

Seeing that Song Lingyu seemed to be interested, Zhi Lan was also interested: "I heard that it is because of the drought, there are more and more victims in the imperial capital, and they can be seen everywhere on the streets. The emperor seems to have given an order, saying that he must come up with a way to deal with the drought within this month, but today is already the Zuihou day of this month, and the lord went to the palace early in the morning, and the group can only come back in a huff. ”

"Although the drought is a natural disaster, as long as the water is dug and diverted, it will be better soon?"

"That being said, this time it wasn't just the drought, but also the locusts that spread across the fields. Even if the crops don't die, they will be bitten. ”

Song Lingyu closed the book, looked at Zhilan and asked, "Is it so serious?" ”

"Of course there is! But if the crops are dead, the next year's harvest will be very small, and then the price of rice will rise again. ”

Song Lingyu smiled, Zhilan had lived a poor life, and she was only worried about the price. Yes, if there is less rice, then the price will naturally rise.

Zhi Lan said seemingly casually: "Now that the emperor has posted the emperor's list, he said that he wants to find someone to solve this problem among the people, and if it is solved, then there will be a large amount of gold to take, and he can also be crowned official." ”

Song Lingyu turned her head to look at Zhilan: "Really? ”

Zhi Lan nodded heavily, expressing affirmation: "Really! ”

Song Lingyu stood up, put the book aside, and said to Zhilan: "Accompany me out of the mansion, I want to go to the Seven Princes' Mansion!" ”

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Seven Princes' Mansion, and the guards at the gate stopped Song Lingyu and the others. Hui Zhen took a step forward and said, "Go and report it, just say that the eldest lady of the Song Xiangfu is visiting." ”

The guards looked at each other, and one of them led them to the side hall and went to report. It didn't take long for Lianle to come over.

Song Lingyu glanced at the Seven Princes and said lightly: "In the Seven Princes' mansions, don't you teach your subordinates how to be hospitable?" ”

Lian Le frowned, and then ordered someone to bring tea and water to Song Lingyu, and only after all the politeness was done did he cut to the chase: "I don't know what Miss Song is looking for me?" ”

Song Lingyu picked up the teacup, wiped the floating tea leaves on it with the lid and didn't drink it. "I heard that the emperor has been very worried about the drought in the north recently?"
