Bai Bei is an elf with a simple temperament, he regards Zhu Yuan as his mother and will not be angry with her. It was a quick time to go.

"Mother, we have divided a lot of dried fish in Shuicheng today, and others will know about it soon." Bai Bei reminded her.

Zhu Yuan threw away the irritability in his heart, "You mean that other refugees will find here?" ”

"Wasn't it all like this before? As long as they hear the wind, they will definitely come. "Bai Bei has drawn lessons based on the previous events.

Zhu Yuan sighed, and Bai Bei helped make several baskets of dried fish overnight.

The next day, it went exactly as they had guessed. As soon as the door of the prefect's mansion opened, a group of refugees gathered outside. They were clamoring for food, but the housekeeper couldn't stop them, so they could only ask people to invite the prefect over.

The people still respect this prefect very much, and when they saw him coming, they even lowered their voices a lot.

"My lord, we heard that there is food here. We haven't eaten in days, and you can't watch us starve to death, my lord. ”

"yes, and my child, he's still so young."

"Sir, take out what you eat."

The prefect sighed in embarrassment, "All the food has been distributed to Shuicheng." ”

He was telling the truth, but he aroused the dissatisfaction of these refugees at the door, "Why give them to us?" ”

"Don't worry, we're trying to figure out a way, and we'll get the food to you soon." The prefect could only be so comforted, in fact, there was not much to eat in his mansion.

Just when the people were dissatisfied, the housekeeper whispered to the prefect, "My lord, I wish the girl is here." ”

The prefect frowned unhappily, "What is she doing at this time?" "Since the last time he eavesdropped, he has been suspicious of Zhu Yuan. It's just that because Ning Bosheng was there, he didn't show it.

While they were talking, Zhu Yuan had already arrived. When she saw the people outside, she didn't need to ask more. Tell him directly, "My lord, I still have a few baskets, you have people go and bring them over, and distribute them to these people." ”

"With the prince's consent?" The prefect was afraid that she was acting on her own.

Zhu Yuan smiled softly, "Don't worry, the prince won't blame you." ”

On the one hand, Zhu Yuan's repeated assurances, and on the other hand, the refugees kept urging after hearing that there was food.

The prefect could only ask someone to bring over the dried fish that Zhu Yuan had made overnight and give it all to the refugees.

The refugees who got the food smiled happily and ran over to thank them.

But Zhu Yuan couldn't laugh, because these refugees couldn't eat dried fish all the time.

First, it was too salty, and after eating it, they had to drink water, but now the water problem has not been solved, and they can't find a place to drink water.

In addition, after the pickled dried fish, the nutrients have almost evaporated, and eating too much is not good for the body, Zhu Yuan has been worried about what diseases they will eat, so he doesn't take out much every time. It's just that the amount of food gradually decreased, and the quantity slowly got out of control.

What's more, Zhu Yuan's dried fish seems to be endless, and someone will always find out that something is wrong, but she has no way to explain it.

She can't tell the story about the fishing space, so how can she say where the dried fish came from? These questions kept entanglement in Zhu Yuan's mind, so that she couldn't see a smile on her face.

The dried fish was quickly distributed, and the prefect came over sweating profusely and sincerely thanked Zhu Yuan, "Thank you Miss Zhu for sending the dried fish over in time." ”

Zhu Yuan nodded absentmindedly, and then asked him, "Is there still a lot of food in the mansion?" ”

"There's not much left." The prefect smiled wryly, even if there was more food, it would not be able to withstand the daily food of such a refugee.

"I see." Zhu Yuan showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and took Bai Bei away.

She had to find a way to solve the problem before anyone else noticed something was wrong.

The only person who can negotiate is Bai Bei, who listened to Zhu Yuan's confusion.

"Why don't I help my mother make a creek and say that the fish were caught from there?" This is the method that Bai Bei came up with.

Zhu Yuan hesitated a little, "But no one saw me catch fish." She knew Ning Bosheng's acuity, and she wasn't sure if she could fool him.

"We did the same when we were in the capital before, and no one noticed that it was wrong." Bai Bei hurriedly persuaded her, "This is the only way now, if my mother is worried, I will put more fish in it." ”

Zhu Yuan had a headache, she felt that her whole brain was a mess, and she couldn't think of a better way at all. He nodded in agreement, "Thank you for your hard work, Beibei." ”

Later, Ning Bosheng came. Zhu Yuan felt that he must have come to ask about dried fish, and he cheered up his spirit.

"Why is the prince here? Didn't you go on patrol today? How's it going? Zhu Yuan took the initiative and asked several questions.

Ning Bosheng replied one by one with a good temper, and after speaking, he changed his words, "I heard that there were refugees making trouble outside this morning?" ”

"They're here to eat, and the adults have already settled it." Zhu Yuan called out to Bai Bei loudly in his mind, wanting to ask him if the creek had been imitated.

Bai Bei didn't move, and Zhu Yuan could only continue to deal with Ning Bosheng.

"I've heard from the prefect that you've taken several baskets of dried fish." Ning Bosheng showed doubts, "Didn't you take the dried fish and divide it when you were in Shuicheng?" How can there be? ”

"Actually, there are some more. I was worried that this would happen today, so I left some for it. Zhu Yuan was a little weak-hearted and didn't dare to look at Ning Bosheng.

He had actually checked how many dried fish Zhu Yuan had, if he had hidden some, how could he not know? Ning Bosheng didn't trust her very much, and was a little suspicious of her identity.

None of this was shown on her face, and Ning Bosheng still asked her quietly, "From the capital to Taihe, you took a lot of dried fish." ”

came, he was going to ask, Zhu Yuan's heart was hanging, Bai Bei hadn't come back yet, she didn't dare to answer randomly.

Sure enough, in the next sentence, Ning Bosheng asked her, "Where did these fish come from?" I've never seen you go out fishing, and it takes a certain amount of time to make dried fish, how do you do that? ”

"Actually, not far from the Taihe River, there is a small stream with a lot of fish in it, which I usually catch there with Bai Bei." As soon as Zhu Yuan finished speaking, Bai Bei came back happily.

The imitation is completed, Zhu Yuan doesn't have to worry about it, and the hanging heart is put back in place.

Ning Bosheng's inquiring gaze fell on her, as if considering her answer just now, and a few words were true.

Zhu Yuan let him look at him, did not show timidity, and took the initiative to ask him, "Does the prince want to go with me to have a look?" ”

Ning Bosheng nodded, "If it's really as you said, it's a good thing for the people." ”
