There is no aura in the palace in the imperial village, and Lu Qingjin was a little uncomfortable staying, so he stood up and said, "We originally came here to see the vegetables in the garden, so it's really not good to bother Mr." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "It's okay, I'm going back too, you can go by yourself!" The greens in this imperial village are growing very well! ”

Concubine Yun seemed to have the spirit to follow Lu Qingjin towards the backyard, and was startled when she passed by the lotus pond: "The number of lotus canopies is too much, and I don't know how much will be left in winter." ”

Lu Qingjin glanced at the pond a little strangely, and saw that the lotus pods were crowded one after another, which made people feel comfortable in the autumn breeze, and she asked with some doubts: "I see that the lotus pods in the pond are all good, why is there not much left in winter?" ”

Concubine Yun coughed and wrapped her clothes: "You shouldn't know yet, the green vegetables in the capital, especially the lotus seeds, don't know why some of them will disappear after autumn, and I can't find the reason, our potatoes are still easy to say, but the lotus pod is not very good." ”

Lu Qingjin frowned and didn't take it seriously, after all, there are too many messy things in the capital, the two of them opened the door of the vegetable garden and saw that the yard was full of green, the unique fragrance of potatoes was spreading, and there were a few twisted melons lying on the ground, Lu Qingjin saw this scene before he had time to be happy when he saw that the southeast corner of the garden was missing.

She walked over quickly, only to see some slight footprints on the ground, more torn leaves, Concubine Yun walked over and sighed when she saw this scene: "You see that you still don't believe it, but now you can see it!" These potatoes have a special taste when they are not ripe, but these cabbages and the like are not so lucky, and the next one is the lotus seeds in the pond. ”

Lu Qingjin looked thoughtfully at the footprints on the ground: "You mean no one knows what took these dishes?" ”

Concubine Yun squatted down and trembled a little uncomfortably before saying: "No one knows, it's usually gone just one night, the people in the city are used to it, many people say that they were sent by the mountain god, just to collect some sacrifices, and over time no one checked." ”

Lu Qingjin sighed and helped her up: "I have a sense of proportion in this matter, you don't have to worry about it, it just so happens that this place is vacant, and I also brought some corn out, just plant it here tomorrow." ”

Concubine Yun nodded as if she was tired: "I'm still not in good spirits now, don't be surprised." ”

Lu Qingjin shook her head and motioned for the people around her to send her back, and when Concubine Yun was far away, she glanced at Qinglan: "She's not sick, right!" I looked like someone was secretly attacking. ”

Qinglan lowered her head and said respectfully: "The slave maid is just a palace maid in the palace, how can you know about this kind of thing!" But if I want to know how these dishes are lost, I still have a way. ”

Lu Qingjin left without saying a word, and the remaining Qinglan sighed, and a chattering voice came from the already empty vegetable garden behind her.

The old man didn't know when he came behind Lu Qingjin, he looked at the calm pond and those green and huge lotus canopies and said, "What is Niangniang thinking?" ”

Lu Qingjin shook his head: "It's nothing, but why haven't you gone back yet?" ”

The old man smiled and said helplessly: "This village has recently been buying firewood for the winter, and I have been helping to work for a few days if I have nothing to do. ”

Lu Qingjin was stunned for a moment before remembering that coal is still a rare thing! She thought for a while and then said: "From today onwards, there is no need to buy firewood, as for the winter, I have my own way, you just ask the people below to take care of the vegetable garden." ”

The old man said with some doubts in his eyes: "Don't blame me for talking too much, this restaurant has made a lot of money, although the treasury is still poor, but it is far from the extent that firewood can't afford it, this winter is too long, you better think about it!" ”

Lu Qingjin didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't speak, and the old man sighed and left worriedly.

Qin Zhao in the imperial study looked at the music fold in his hand and frowned: "What is this!" One by one, they knew that they were crying poor, and even the King of Wei wrote that there was no longer enough money and food in his fiefdom, did this mean that I wanted to send them over? ”

The prime minister sighed helplessly, stood up and saluted before saying: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be too angry, King Wei's behavior is just talking, who doesn't know his situation in the Manchu Dynasty, you just need to take care of the capital." ””

Ji Chen, who was on the side, knocked on his desk: "If you want to say that poverty is not fatal, all places are just used to crying poor, and the victims outside the capital have no place to live, in case they can't survive the winter, it will be dangerous at the beginning of spring next year." ”

Qin Zhao sighed helplessly: "Although there is already some silver in the treasury, it is far from enough to build houses for all the victims, and this matter still has to be found in another way." ”

Ji Chen put down his pen and raised his head: "This is only one of them, I recently discovered that the shopkeeper of Jingqi Pavilion does not seem to be the leader of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they have gone through a lot of changes recently, and some of them are directly led by charity." ”

Qin Zhao shook his head and denied what he meant: "This is impossible, the crown princess of the previous dynasty was still quite popular with the people at that time, and many people may not know about the charity killing of the crown princess, but the people of the previous dynasty basically knew it in their hearts, if it was just cooperation, I still believe that if it was just a charitable organization, it would be impossible." ”

Ji Chen took a step back and didn't speak, but the prime minister spoke with some concern: "It's already autumn, and the food in the city has begun to lose one after another, and this year I don't know why, there are a lot of things lost, and many people are overwhelmed." ”

Qin Zhao rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "The folk rumors are boiling, and we have no way to find out what stole things for a while, even if it is a sacrifice to the mountain god, you ask the victims to allocate some potatoes to those who have lost things." ”

The two of them agreed and bowed and retreated, and when they walked outside the door, Ji Chen suddenly asked, "Do you know about Concubine Yun's illness?" ”

The prime minister's eyes flickered for a moment before he said: "I still know about this matter, but I think the queen will still take good care of the little girl, so I'm not too worried." ”

Ji Chen laughed and said coldly: "But sometimes the queen mother is also powerless. ”
