Chapter 237: The Plague of Locusts
The maid smiled faintly and said slowly: "Niangniang said that I was laughing, I am not a nonsense person, I thought that my identity Niangniang knew a little." ”
Lu Qingjin straightened up, and the smile on his face was still gentle and gentle: "I probably already know who your master is, please bring her a message, and ask her to interfere less in my affairs!" If it's convenient, I'd better return my maid. ”
The maid bowed without humility or arrogance: "What Niangniang said is not right, what is the identity of our master, how can he be as knowledgeable as a little maid!" If you have doubts, just go for yourself. ”
After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, Xiao Si couldn't help but speak even if he heard it in a fog: "The maids of this Huren princess are so arrogant, Niangniang must tell the emperor to take care of the rules of this palace." ”
Lu Qingjin sat on the main seat lightly and didn't speak, but the expression on the face of one of the guards on the side was not quite right.
In the Lu Mansion, Lu Youruo looked at the desktop fiercely for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, "How about what I asked you to do?" Why is there no news at this time? ”
The little maid hurriedly knelt down and confessed: "It's the son of the world who came too late, even if the slave maid wants to go earlier, it can't, now it should be good, if there is news, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while." ”
Lu Youruo didn't have time to complain when he heard a hearty laugh at the door: "Your mansion is really luxurious!" It's much better than the many big families I've seen in the capital, but why haven't I seen the eldest lady for so long? ”
When Lu Youruo walked to the door, he saw Mrs. Yun and Nuya standing not far away, looking in this direction! Mrs. Yun's face stiffened when she saw her, but her face was still peaceful, and she said, "My daughter is not sensible, if there is anything bad to talk about, you can bear more!" ”
Lu Youruo snorted coldly and said mockingly: "It's great to become a lady in the end, I forgot my identity at the beginning, and I don't know which genealogy I put on." ”
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Mrs. Yun's eyes, and she left after a few polite sentences, leaving Nuya looking at her with a smile: "I have long heard that the queen's sister is a talented girl, and when I saw it today, it was much more iconic than the queen's mother." ”
Lu Youruo raised his head proudly and said softly: "Princess Nuya praised it falsely, but I don't know what happened when you came over today?" ”
Nuya's eyes darkened, and she pretended to be hearty and said, "Didn't I come to learn from you?" When I was in the palace, the queen lost to me, saying that you had developed limbs and asked me to come and take a look, didn't I come? ”
Lu Youruo's face turned red instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The princess thinks too much, this is just the queen's sarcasm!" After a few days, she won't be able to laugh, and then you can see who is simple-minded! ”
In the Queen's Palace, Lu Qingjin was drinking tea when he heard Nuya's footsteps coming quickly: "Why are you still here?" I've already inquired about it, your sister is really crazy, I've never seen a crazy like this in the organization, she didn't know where to get a lot of locusts, they have all been released into the woods, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be a locust plague. ”
Before Lu Qingjin could speak, he heard Xiao Fuzi hurriedly come over: "Niangniang is not good, there are locusts in many fields outside the capital, and the number is not too much, but it is not good to go on like this." ”
Lu Qingjin hurriedly walked outside and said, "Didn't you say that this locust will be a few days away?" How much did she get out of here, and where did she get it from? ”
Nuya followed behind her and couldn't care about her attitude, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know this!" I also blew it up several times, it should have been given to her by Zhao Yunheng when he was leaving, and she probably didn't know how much. ”
When the two of them arrived outside the palace, it was already very late, and they could vaguely see a lot of people carrying lanterns to catch locusts, Nuya sighed and looked at the locusts flying in the sky from time to time and said helplessly: "At the moment, this locust can be said to have no choice, only to find out if there is a reliable insecticide, it's a pity for your food, I look at it will be harvested soon, this Lu Youruo is really terrible!" ”
Lu Qingjin's heart sank fiercely, there is nothing useful in this era to curb locusts, the only way is to sprinkle medicine, but once the medicine is overdosed, most of the food will not be eaten, not to mention that most of these medicines are still useless.
Just thinking that I don't know where to come over, an eldest lady recognized her, Nuya's first reaction when she saw someone coming over was to protect Lu Qingjin, after all, if Lu Qingjin had an accident, she wouldn't be able to eat and walk around, Lu Qingjin saw this and took half a step back and asked in a loud voice: "It's getting late, just stand there and say something, I can still hear it." ”
The eldest lady stopped with trembling hands and looked at her a little helplessly for a long time before she tentatively spoke: "I just want to ask the queen mother, is this year's crop finished?" Are we running out of food again? ”
Lu Qingjin closed his eyes and suppressed his tears before he spoke: "Auntie, you believe me, no!" We will not give up the crops outside the city, and tomorrow we will find a way, and in a few days, the crops will be the same, and we will not go hungry this year. ”
The eldest lady agreed twice and hurriedly left, looking like a message.
Nuya glanced at her with some disapproval, and said as she followed into the carriage: "Are you crazy, even our master has no way to deal with the locust matter, and your promise will only ruin the reputation that Simin An has set up for you." ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the night scene outside the window and smiled coldly: "Isn't this just right?" I don't want this kind of mess, even if it's ruined, it's not me who is distressed, and besides, she is missing, what else can she say! ”
Nuya shook her head and said as if with some regret: "Si Min'an can be said to be cold-hearted, I haven't seen her so good to anyone for so many years!" It's okay for you, if you don't appreciate it, you still make trouble, and when Simin An comes back, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry when I hear the news. ”
Lu Qingjin keenly grasped the loophole in her words, and said slowly with ill-intentioned questions: "Oh? This is new, I don't know when my aunt will come back, and I don't even know if she will come back, but you know a lot, and it doesn't seem to be unfamiliar! ”
