"Master, the prefect brought a team of people over."

The old housekeeper of the He family rushed over and reported to his master.

The He family is a famous businessman in the Taihe area, they are mainly engaged in the textile industry, because of the accumulation of several generations, the He family has a big business, although the drought is serious, but for them can also pass.

At this time, Master He was holding a young and beautiful concubine, picked up the dried fruit on the table, fed her, and then slowly returned to the housekeeper's words.

"Oh? What are they here for? ”

The old butler said in a low voice: "It is said that the granary in the official mansion is in short supply, and I am afraid that I am here to ask the master to lend a hand." ”

Master He raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while, and asked, "Is King Narui here?" ”

The old housekeeper shook his head and said, "It is said that I haven't seen King Rui for several days, some time ago they said that there was disaster relief food in the capital, but now that King Rui is missing, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Master He's eyes, and he smiled, "I know." ”

Then he stood up and glanced around the room, and said, "Put away all the food, prepare something unique to entertain, and I'll wait for them in the hall." ”

The old housekeeper answered, and the concubine saw that Master He had something to do, and returned to her yard slowly.

As soon as the governor and Zhu Yuan entered He's house, they saw Master He's sad face, standing in the courtyard and sighing.

Seeing that the prefect and Zhu Yuan were coming, Master He stepped forward, cleared his throat, and asked, "Oh, Lord Prefect, Miss Zhu, He has lost his welcome, I don't know why you came to the cold house?" ”

The governor smiled, and said a few words to Master He, before getting to the point.

"Master He, you also know that the government has recently distributed porridge to the people, although this disaster relief food is about to arrive, but we are afraid that the food supply will not be connected." The governor of the state paused for a moment, and then complimented: "Master He, you are the economic pillar of the Taihe area, I wonder if you can open a granary to relieve the people of Taihe?" ”

Old Man He let out a long sigh, did not answer his question directly, walked to the side of the governor, pulled him into the hall, and said, "It's hot outside, let's go in and talk." ”

After entering the house, Master He didn't pour tea for the two of them, and the governor and Zhu Yuan saw that there were pastries on the table that looked like they had been around for some time, and they glanced at each other with a somewhat solemn expression.

Even the reception has put on such a posture, I'm afraid this matter will not go well.

After sitting down, Master He began to complain: "You don't know, in the eyes of the recent drought, our business has already fallen to the bottom, and the whole house can't eat and sleep well..... Even if I want to, I have to think about the He family, so many people, alas, I really can't help it......"

Zhu Yuan interrupted him, felt a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Master He, we just hope that you can save the emergency, now that the prince has gone to receive the disaster relief grain, we don't need you to give us all the granaries, and we don't want you to carry it alone, just do your part?" ”

"Besides, if you do such a good deed, we will vigorously promote it for you, which will also benefit your He family's reputation!"

Zhu Yuan knew that from the moral level, he would not be able to impress Master He, so he had to use interests to attract him.

Master He's eyes rolled, and he quickly weighed it in his heart, now Ning Boyu is more likely to sit on the throne of the emperor, and helping Ning Bosheng is against Ning Boyu, what if he comes to settle the account himself?

Thinking of this possibility, Master He immediately stood in line, pretended to be vain, and said: "Alas, Zhu girl, I really can't do anything, our granary reserves can really only maintain this big family, you see I can only eat some vegetarian dishes these days, otherwise I will let them take you to the granary to see?" ”

Zhu Yuan looked at his old fox appearance, and felt indignant in his heart, these people are inevitably too selfish!

The state prefect knew that Master He was a human spirit, and he was afraid that he had made all preparations before they came, so he shook his head lightly at Zhu Yuan and motioned for her to give up.

Zhu Yuan had no choice but to give up, seeing that the two of them were leaving, Master He hurriedly put on a smile and said regretfully: "If there is anything else that needs help, just come to me, He will do his best." ”

Zhu Yuan sneered, turned around, and couldn't help but slap him: "Master He, let's do a full set of plays, saying that I have only eaten vegetarian for the past few days, so I can pick my teeth after eating, so as not to leave some shredded meat aftertaste, besides, when we came, we happened to meet your subordinates from He Mansion who went to the backyard with desserts." ”

Zhu Yuan looked straight at Master He, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised, "If you don't want to, we can't force you, it's really disgusting to be so fake." ”

Master He's face turned red when she said it, his eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, his hand trembled and raised, pointing at Zhu Yuan, and it took a long time to spit out a word, "You ....."

He has been in business for many years, and no one has ever spoken to him like this, let alone being said to be so mercilessly said by a little girl.

The state prefect saw that the situation was not right, and quickly pulled Zhu Yuan away, leaving Master He in the same place and said angrily: "I'm so angry, I'm really uneducated!" ”

The governor wanted to comfort Zhu Yuan for a few words, but he didn't expect her to calm down after going out, he was stunned for a moment, and took her to a few more houses, but the result was the same, and she was rejected for various reasons.

"Miss Zhu, if we don't go back, there will be a family outside the Fang Yuan, and it is estimated that it will be the same." The state governor was a little discouraged, and he didn't expect that these people really didn't give face at all.

"It's all here anyway, so let's ask again!" Zhu Yuan cheered up and followed the state prefect into the house outside Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuanwai is more arrogant and unreasonable, and he doesn't give anyone face in the Taihe area, because he has a first-class official in the capital as a backing, and he is a person from Ning Boyu's side, so he is even more unscrupulous, so the state prefect is actually unwilling to let Zhu Yuan go, so it can be seen that she insists on not letting go of any opportunity, so she has no choice but to follow her.

After Zhu Yuan and the prefect of the state entered the Fang mansion, they waited for a while before they saw Fang Yuan coming in with a swagger.

"Ouch, what kind of wind blew our prefect here?" Fang Yuan's face was ruffian, and with his five big and three rough appearance, he looked extremely obscene.

The state governor knew that he couldn't be provoked, so he had to say in a low voice: "Recently, the government has distributed porridge to the people......

Zhu Yuan glanced at the state prefect when he heard this, so many families came, and the state prefect was all this set of rhetoric, and the words were exactly the same, and he complained silently in his heart, it was really like a repeater.
