Murong Chong sat upright, still not expressing any opinion.

Ying Zong secretly thought to himself, one was the one who contributed to this marriage, it was His Royal Highness the Prince, and the other was that the arrogant grain lords should indeed rectify it, and hurriedly replied: "This is the responsibility of the lower officials, please rest assured that the princess." The grain stamps issued by the grain merchants in Bian'an City are all recorded in Jingzhao Mansion, please ask the prince and the princess later, and the next official will go to let people call up the records, and after verifying the number, they will arrange for the officials to go to the major grain shops to redeem the grain. ”

"There's Lord Laoying."

"It should be, it should be. Please ask the prince and the princess to come here later, and the next official will come when he goes. ”

Ying Zong bowed and retired, and after going out, he did not forget to instruct someone to prepare fragrant tea for King Rong and his wife to eat, so that they could be served.

When everyone retreated, Lin Ruo no longer maintained a weak and bullying appearance, and Murong Chong knew that there was no one else around, so he put away his black face and said jokingly: "You are so cautious that you almost deceived me." ”

"The prince is too famous, the prince is really powerful! When Lord Ying saw the prince's face, he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and when he went out just now, he turned around. ”

The two who praised each other smiled, and Youcao breathed a sigh of relief and was completely relieved. In the carriage just now, Murong Zhengran's face sank, she was still worried about her own young lady, but Lin Ruo kept secretly signaling that she was okay and just acted according to the plan, so she was slightly relieved.

"How long are they going to calculate?"

"I'm afraid it won't be enough for two or three hours."

"So long?"

"It's still lifting them up. The account room in Jingzhao Mansion has a small number of people, and the ability to settle accounts may not be strong, so I am afraid that some people will have a headache. Even the Lin family's accounting room took an hour to settle these accounts. ”

Every account room of the Lin family is a 'golden abacus' that is skilled in numeracy hired with a lot of money, and even it will take them an hour......

Looking at the smile on the corner of Lin Ruo's mouth, thinking that the news sent back by Wuji and Wumo mentioned that Lin Ruo was good at arithmetic and would teach Lin Qi to settle accounts every day, Murong Chong couldn't help but provoke her: "Then, what if you come to calculate?" ”

"Me? Two sticks of incense are almost. ”

Murong Chong was surprised: "Two sticks of incense? ”

Lin Ruoyin smiled: "Lord Wang, then what do you think, how long should I count?" ”

Murong Chong pondered silently and said, "You can design such a complex 'Thousand Machine Lock', the two incense sticks are indeed credible. ”

Lin Ruoqian smiled and did not answer.

Murong Chong continued to ask, "Last time I heard you say that these grain merchants owe three million and thirteen thousand stones of grain, what about now?" ”

Lin Ruo took a leisurely sip of tea and said lightly: "I wiped the odds, a total of 17.54 million stones." ”

Murong Chong was a little staggered: This is the food consumption of Bian'an City for four or five years!

"You let these grain merchants lose even the scum......!" Murong Chong sighed.

Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows: "What, the prince wants me to give them some scum?" ”

Murong Chong lightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "That's not necessary, at least they were satisfied." ”

The two tacitly sketched in their minds the picture of the grain lords holding the silver tickets and laughing in unison.

"Lord Wang, it's been two moments, according to your temper, shouldn't you go and urge it?"

Murong Chong hooked the corners of his mouth, indeed, otherwise I'm sorry for his deliberately stiff face.

After receiving the report of the servant, Ying Zong rushed to the back hall in a hurry and apologized to Prince Rong. That face, because of the "moment" of waiting, appeared even darker.

"Lord Wang, why don't you and the princess go back to the house first, and when the accounts are finished, the lower officials will send someone to report to the house?"

Ying Zong's gaze looked at Lin Ruo pleadingly, but Lin Ruo couldn't help it—because Murong Chong didn't pay attention to her gaze at all.

With a cold snort, Murong Chong knocked the cup on the table, got up neatly, and walked out of the back hall.

Lin Ruo hurriedly got up and said apologetically to Ying Zong: "Then it's troublesome Lord Ying." ”

"The princess is gracious, please."

Lin Ruo immediately followed Murong Chong's steps in small steps with the support of Youcao.

Ying Zong shook his head helplessly, but immediately went back to accompany the account office to calculate the amount of food stamps - so far, this huge and endless amount has made him not know how to express his shock, and he can only sigh: It is worthy of the Lin family, and the dowry prepared for the county lord of Minhui is really rich enough!

There were only five bookkeepers in Jingzhao Mansion, and Ying Zong didn't dare to ask for more, because he wasn't sure if Prince Rong was willing to let this huge amount of grain be known, at least Princess Rong was not. So he could only make a bitter face and urge the gentlemen in the accounting room to quickly calculate the number.

Jingzhao Mansion did not send someone to the Rongwang Mansion until the evening to report the news, the amount was basically the same as what Lin Ruo said, Lin Ruo did not care too much, so he asked Tao Fu to reward the official who came to report the news, and asked him to bring a message to Lord Ying, tomorrow there will be people from the Lin family's grain shop and people from the Rongwang Mansion to go to Jingzhao Mansion with food stamps, and worry Lord Ying for his hard work.

When Tao Fu came to report, Lin Ruo and Murong Chong were eating dinner in the hall, and when Tao Fu finished speaking, Murong Chong handed over the messenger to Tao Fu and asked him to pick a few clever little guys to go to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow, and then sent him to retreat.

Murong Chong took the sharp dagger and cut another piece of smoked lamb chops on the board, and ate to his heart's content.

After returning from Jingzhao Mansion, Lin Ruo took Youcao to find Steward Tao, and then went to the kitchen and was busy inside. Murong Chong was quite curious and sent Tao Fu to investigate, but was blocked back by Leng Shu.

Ever since he said goodbye, he had never realized that he had such a peculiar curiosity about a woman. Maybe he had never met such a peculiar woman, which made him feel like he hated seeing each other late.

It wasn't until dinner time that Youcao went to inform Tao Fu to lead Murong Chong to the hall. When the plates of dishes are served, they are like finely carved paintings: there are small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River and green willows, as well as the sunset of the long river and the lonely smoke of the desert. This is true not only in the eyes, but also in the mouth.

And the reason why Lin Ruo was busy all afternoon was not only to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Murong Chong, but also to prepare a few special dishes for everyone in the palace. After thanking the princess, the maidservants all rushed to the kitchen, for fear that if they were one step slower, they would not be able to eat the dishes prepared by Princess Rong herself.

Seeing Lin Ruo's shallow smile, he hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask, "How do you make this smoked leg of lamb?" ”

Seeing that Murong Chong particularly liked that plate of smoked lamb chops, Lin Ruo hooked the corners of his mouth: "The prince likes it?" ”

"When the garrison was in the north, he and his subordinates ate roast sheep and roast cattle every day, and drank freely at night. However, after returning to Bian'an, I ate the meat of beef and sheep again, and the food was exquisite, but it lost the taste of the fireworks of the day. Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo with a faint smile and asked, "You did it on purpose?" ”

Lin Ruo nodded: "I asked the old housekeeper, and I knew that the prince missed the smoked mutton when the troops were stationed in the north that day, so I tried to make it." I have already taught Sister-in-law Feng the method, if the prince wants to eat, just tell the kitchen in advance. ”

"And ...... this dagger?"

"The prince sat around the fire with the soldiers that day, and he should have eaten while cutting."

Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo: "Have you always been so thorough in doing things?" ”

Lin Ruo's chopsticks stagnated slightly, then returned to normal, lowered his eyes with a light smile, and said lightly: "I'm used to it." ”

The dinner table was quiet, and after a while, Lin Ruocai added, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth soothed the atmosphere: "Thanks to the prince today, I can sit in the mansion and wait to collect money, grain, and land deeds, just thank you." In the future, if the prince wants to eat these at every meal, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

Murong Chong returned with a faint smile and said half-jokingly: "It's okay, if I go to the battlefield one day, I may not be able to bring you with me." ”
