Early the next morning, the prince offered to visit Su's house, and Su Zhiyuan had no choice but to return to Su's mansion with the prince.

In the study, the prince brought the gifts he had prepared, and his tone was very gentle.

"This time, the fifth brother's matter is thanks to the help of Su Fu, this is a little bit of the prince's heart, not a respect, and I hope that Lord Su can accept it."

Seeing the gift from the prince, Su Zhiyuan frowned slightly, saluted respectfully, and said.

"Your Royal Highness, Bowen just told the truth about the situation at that time, our Su family has always been loyal to Your Majesty, I hope Your Highness can understand that if Your Majesty learns that the old minister rashly accepts His Highness's gift, I am afraid that our Su family will be destroyed!"

Su Zhiyuan's words were very serious, seeing that the prince also had some hesitation, after thinking about it, the prince was not angry, but took back the gift and said.

"Lord Su's concerns Prince Ben knows, Prince Ben is just doing this to express his gratitude, but he doesn't mean to win over the Su family, Lord Su doesn't want to misunderstand anything."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister knows His Highness's loyalty to His Majesty."

After sending the prince away, Su Zhiyuan only felt sweating, and he realized one thing at the same time, that is, the Su family wanted to remain neutral above the court, and I was afraid that it would not be an easy thing.

After the prince left Su Mansion, he entered the palace to visit the queen.

The crown prince told the queen about the recent events at the queen's place, and the look on the queen's face made people not see the slightest flaw, the prince said.

"Queen Mother, the sons are a little unsure of the meaning of the Su family now, the Su family keeps saying that the Su family is loyal and will not intervene in the party struggle, but the friendship between Su Bowen and the sons is absolutely not wrong."

The queen put the teacup aside and said softly.

"Su Zhiyuan is just doing this to protect the Su family, His Majesty's suspicion is too heavy, and the Su family can only do this in order to protect themselves.

But now the Su family is also facing you, at least I didn't step on the top of your head, and the future will be long, as long as we can maintain a similar relationship with the Su family on the surface, neither too intimate nor too strange, so that the Su family will be of great help to you in the future. ”

If the queen would not have taken the Su family in her eyes before, but now the Su family, whether they are in business or as officials in the court, has become one of the powerful people in the capital, and they should not be underestimated in the future.

The queen taught the prince like this, and she also hoped that the prince would not easily make enemies with the Su family.

Knowing what the queen meant, the prince looked solemn.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the son remembers it."

These days, there was a famine in the towns near the capital, many people had no food, and the imperial court sent people to provide disaster relief, but the effect was not very significant.

Shen Baiqing took advantage of Su Bowen's early return home on this day, and told Su Bowen his thoughts.

"Husband, I think we can send someone to buy grain and grass from the border city, and then transport it to the capital, which can be regarded as solving the urgent need.

In addition, the granary of the Su family already has a lot of grain, so we can set up a porridge shop in the capital and do our best to help the people. ”

Shen Baiqing didn't put forward this idea to let the Su family have a sense of existence in the capital, but Shen Baiqing wanted to do good deeds.

Ordinary people don't have the money to transport grain from the border city, but Shen Baiqing has, and when the time comes, she will contact the grassland khan Zamuhe, maybe this matter can be solved better.

Hearing this, Su Bowen's expression was solemn.

"Qing'er, I know that all your thoughts are for the people, but we are now in the capital, under Your Majesty's nose, if Your Majesty knows that we have such great ability now, do you think Your Majesty will be happy?"

Asked by Su Bowen, Shen Baiqing also realized that this matter really couldn't be done like this.

"Then let's simply set up a porridge shop."

Shen Baiqing also forgot about the fact that things must be reversed, but fortunately, Su Bowen reminded her on the side, otherwise, maybe she would make a mistake.

Realizing that Shen Baiqing was a little unhappy, Su Bowen said softly.

"The lady's heart is known to the husband, but we can't make things too obvious now, as long as we have this intention for the people, it is enough."

"Then I'm going to discuss this with my mother and sister-in-law?"

"Okay."

In this way, Shen Baiqing discussed with Wang and Tong Qiurong about the relief of homeless people and beggars, and the three of them finally reached a consensus, and the porridge shop was opened.

At the beginning, the Su family did not make much splash in opening a porridge shop in the capital, and now many families are opening porridge shops, but I have to say that there are not many things given, and they are not delicious.

However, although the Su family's porridge shop is not a good grain, it can make inferior grain taste so delicious.

Of course, this is all thanks to Shen Baiqing and Tong Qiurong, and the two of them worked together to find the best way to cook porridge, and the porridge cooked was very delicious, even if it was cheap grain and grass, it was delicious.

For a while, the people were full of praise for the Su family's porridge shop, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also deliberately publicized the matter, Su Bowen had no choice but to ask Shen Baiqing to hand over the method of making porridge to His Majesty, and His Majesty began to order the porridge shop in the imperial court to cook porridge like this.

On this day, Shen Baiqing and Tong Qiurong came to the porridge shed, and saw that the people could drink hot porridge, Tong Qiurong sighed with emotion.

"I really didn't expect that today's people are living so hard."

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone's life is passable, but now there are displaced people in the capital, and there are beggars who have taken root in the capital before, even if we help you this time, we can't help you forever in the future.

As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and I think it's time for us to figure it out. ”

Hearing this, Tong Qiurong's eyes lit up.

"What else can I do, brother and sister?"

"I've thought about it, but I have to go back to discuss this matter with my family, and you and I can't make decisions easily."

What Shen Baiqing said was very reasonable, and Tong Qiurong also knew what Shen Baiqing meant, after all, the Su family still had to think about the court most of the time when doing things now.

If something they did with their kindness caused an accident to the Su family, it would be more than worth the loss.

When the two returned to Su Mansion, they were called to the main hall by Su Zhiyuan, realizing that maybe something big had happened, and Shen Baiqing and Tong Qiurong did not dare to delay.

Coming to the main hall, Su Zhiyuan said.

"It's just right that you're back, second daughter-in-law, there has been something wrong with the Su family's horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing recently, Bowen has already gone there, but there is no solution at all, I can only wait for you to come out in person."

Knowing that there was a problem with the horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing, Shen Baiqing's expression immediately became solemn, and seeing this, Su Zhiyuan added.

"You don't have to be nervous about this matter, it's just that Bowen hasn't seen the situation of the horse before, so he doesn't know the bottom of his heart, but it's true that the horse can't die, and you will know it after you have seen it in the past."

"Then the daughter-in-law will set off."

When encountering the affairs of the Su family, especially the affairs of the horse farm or pasture, Shen Baiqing knew that there was no delay, and seeing Shen Baiqing's prosperous appearance, Su Zhiyuan's eyes smiled even deeper.

There is such a daughter-in-law who thinks about the Su family in everything, which is a blessing for the Su family.

"Don't worry, I'll let Bowen go with you early tomorrow morning, after all, it's not peaceful outside, and if you go alone, we won't worry."

"Yes."

Shen Baiqing did not refuse Su Zhiyuan's kindness, you must know that the decision Su Zhiyuan made was for her good.
