Chapter 335: A Trip That Says Go
The rescue team has been on the road for a few days, but there is no sign of idleness at the headquarters in the capital, and some scattered donations are sent to the rescue headquarters vacated by Song Xingchen every day, even if the number is not as large as before, it also needs to be received, sorted out and registered every day.
Song Xingchen has always been a person who likes to be lazy, especially as a deputy minister, many things do not need her to do it herself, and Hang Yuan was recommended by her as the temporary person in charge here, in charge of everything.
Because of the identity of the princess, Zhou Jin is naturally the head of the headquarters, but it is even more impossible to let the princess do these trivial matters herself, and Zhou Jin comes to inspect it every few days, which is enough to express her importance to this matter.
Although the amount of donations from all parties exceeded expectations, Song Xingchen and Zhou Jin still donated as originally promised, which is also an example for others.
Today is the meeting day that everyone has agreed to last for half a month, and Song Xingchen and Zhou Jin are bound to attend.
After listening to the report of Hang Yuan and others, Zhou Jin was completely confused, she didn't know how many those numbers represented.
However, Song Xingchen listened and looked at the information sorted out by Hang Yuan, marked key symbols on some things, and occasionally whispered a few words with Zhou Jin, so that Zhou Jin could speak for a while, so that he could make overall arrangements for the materials.
Everyone is a clear-eyed person, and they can see who is in charge, but because of Zhou Jin's identity, no one will question anything, even Song Xingchen's thorn is not something they can pick.
It can be said that in addition to Zhou Jin, Song Xingchen is the noblewoman with the highest status here, and it is not because of her family or her husband's family that she has such glory, even if everyone has some reasons for Song Xingchen's disobedience to the boudoir, they have to admit that they envy Song Xingchen.
"Before leaving, the rescue team had already taken away a large number of supplies, and according to the information delivered by the people they sent back, they had been receiving donations from officials, businessmen and ordinary people along the way, but they were not in a hurry to transport the next batch of supplies. However, in terms of medicinal materials, the preparation is not sufficient, and the second batch of rescue teams is responsible for delivering the medicines to the rear of the front-line army. Zhou Jin made a concluding remark and swept everyone and asked: "Half a month has passed, I don't know how everyone has learned the knowledge of first aid?" ”
"Back to the princess, the basic knowledge of the second batch of team members is much more solid than that of the first batch, and they can operate independently, and they can also assist the doctor in rescuing the injured." As the person in charge, Hang Kite is free to answer.
"Well, very good, everyone's efforts, I don't know how many lives can be saved, this palace on behalf of them to express my sincere gratitude to everyone." Zhou Jin bowed slightly, as a royal person, such a gesture has already given enough respect to the people present.
Everyone hurriedly got up to return the salute, but they couldn't mix it with water at all.
"Don't be polite, we have limited time, everyone is about to leave tomorrow, except for the main person in charge of each department, the rest of us will go back to the house to pack their bags and say goodbye to their families." Remember, travel lightly, don't cause trouble on the road, everything is safety-oriented, this princess is waiting for you to return, and hold a celebration banquet together. Zhou Jin helped everyone and sent most of them back.
Time waits for no one, many noble girls and sons have never been far away, Zhou Jin is really afraid that they will wear their subordinates and customary items, which will lose the original intention of rescue, but it makes people think that they are going to show off their wealth.
Of course, Zhou Jin herself couldn't think of this, Song Xingchen secretly reminded her, she was afraid that there would be such a spectacular scene on the rescue road.
"Second sister, how are the medicinal herbs prepared? Tomorrow, the team will set off, maybe they will bring enough medicinal materials as expected? "Zhou Jin doesn't know anything else, so he knows that bloodshed in border battles is the norm, and medicinal materials are especially valuable.
"Rest assured, the princess is ready, and it is thirty percent more than expected." Song Yue replied.
"That's good." Zhou Jin nodded, several people in the room were familiar with each other, so Zhou Jin no longer held the princess's shelf, and his sitting posture also dispersed, "Xingchen, you have hurt me, you have to ask me to be this minister, but I don't understand anything at all, you have to mention everything, don't you just be the minister?" ”
"Once born and twice matured, the princess will naturally understand everything after a few times. As for me, maybe one day I'll come on a walk-and-go trip, and then the rescue team will be in chaos? Song Xingchen said with a smile: "Okay, as compensation, I will invite you to a big meal, you want to go to any restaurant to enjoy Ducheng, let's only order the expensive ones, not the right ones!" ”
"Okay, just order the expensive ones, you have to let Xingchen let you bleed once, who made you the richest of us here, and several of us have been blackmailed into poor eggs by you." Song Yue was the first to echo.
"The moon is right." Hang Kite's mood has stabilized in the past few days, and he has also participated in the blackmail.
"I only order what I want to eat." Song Yueyue whispered on the side, and without waiting for Song Xingchen to say emotional words, she lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "But what I like to eat is expensive." ”
"Haha!" Tang Tang couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
As the only niece of the queen's mother, Tang Tang is also a popular figure in the capital, and the Tang family's generation is such a girl's family, so she naturally holds it in the palm of her hand, and she didn't pull Zhou Jin into trouble when she was a child.
It can be said that Zhou Jin will rebelly escape from the palace gate, Tang Tang has a deep influence, but he was sent out of the capital for refuge after causing a big disaster before, and he only came back recently.
"Cousin, you're really unkind." Zhou Jin said this, but covered his mouth and laughed, obviously he was very happy to see Song Xingchen eat deflated once.
"Oh, my stomach is growling with hunger, let's hurry up and eat the most expensive one." Miss Ruan's family has a good relationship with Tang Tang, and her personality is also cool, so she quickly played with Song Xingchen and them, which was not polite.
"What are you going to eat? Let's talk about it, if you don't go to the Song family's restaurant today, even if you don't go to the restaurant where the stars have a share, you must watch her pay the money, so that I can feel at ease. Zhou Jin held his chin and said.
"My eldest brother seems to have written a letter back home, but I haven't read it yet, and I don't know what it wrote." Song Xingchen glanced at Zhou Jin faintly.
Seeing that Zhou Jin, who was forgetful, hurriedly blushed and changed his words: "Actually, the restaurant opened by my sister-in-law is not bad, and I don't know if there are new dishes recently." ”
"No, I've been very busy lately and don't have time to cook. I'm tired of eating the dishes in my restaurant, haven't you seen me lose weight? Song March rubbed her fleshy face and said with some grievances.
Zhou Jin also symbolically helped Song Xingchen, since Song March was demolished, she didn't say anything anymore, and only gave Song Xingchen a helpless look.
Tang Tang suddenly slapped the table hard and said: "I thought of a good place, just on the street behind our headquarters, a new southern restaurant was opened, I heard that it was opened by a southern businessman, and many of their dishes are suitable for women's tastes, whether they are spicy or sweet, they are very exciting." Why don't we give it a try? ”
"You're too unparticular, and you don't share where to eat, so go to Nanguo Restaurant." Nguyen Thanh Lian expressed her support.
"That sounds good." Song March's eyes lit up, and he had an unusual pursuit of food.
Hang Kite said that he had no opinion, and Song Xingchen had no choice but to agree.
"It's okay to go, but we don't know what the identity of this southern merchant is, so it's best not to reveal your identity, especially the princess." Song Xingchen explained uneasily.
"Xingchen, you're too cautious, aren't you? This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Tang Tang didn't care much about it.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, now many border passes in the Great Zhou Kingdom are not peaceful, let's listen to the stars." Hang Kite Road.
Song Yueyue has always been timid, so she nodded and seconded the proposal, Song Yue would never tear down her sister's stage in this kind of matter.
Zhou Jin didn't think about it so much, but she was not a flamboyant person in the first place, and it was best not to reveal her identity, otherwise it would be not much different from being in the palace.
After deciding where to go, they took a carriage to the Nanguo Restaurant.
I don't know if it's not suitable to travel today, but when I arrived at the door of the restaurant, I met a group of gangsters in the capital, who were looking for trouble in the restaurant.
Zhou Jin wanted to stop it, but was dissuaded by Song Xingchen.
"Let's take a look again, if necessary, a few of us can come forward, and the princess had better not come forward." Song Xingchen lowered his voice and said: "The people have the rules of survival of the people, even if we help this time today, there is no guarantee that someone will solve it next time, and we can't tell the world that we want to cover the people of the south, right?" ”
"Xingchen is right, since he dares to open a restaurant in the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, this businessman must have his own ability." Song Yue has experienced a lot of things, so she naturally understands more.
Zhou Jin gave up and stood in the crowd as a bystander.
"A few heroes are merciful, they don't understand the rules when they first come here, can you ask a few people to dissipate their anger and let's go to the private room to talk?" A man with a rich face walked out and said something other than Da Zhou, "Only when we make money in the restaurant can we honor you, otherwise we can't get the silver even if we want to be filial, right?" ”
The thugs then stopped, and walked ahead proudly, and the man instructed the man before entering the restaurant: "Clean up this place, the guests will be exempted from the money for wine and food, and then a horse of southern brocade will be sent to each table as an atonement." ”
Until a lot of people dispersed to see the excitement, Zhou Jin and a few people were still standing in place.
"By doing this, he is fueling the arrogance of these hooligans, and he is really angry." Tang Tang said with an angry face.
"If it were me, I would have to break their legs and throw them into prison again, and see who would dare to find fault in the future!" Ruan Qinglian was also indignant.
"Not everyone has a general's mansion behind him, and the strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that he is just a businessman." Song Yue said: "Breaking wealth to avoid disasters, businessmen have always been kind and wealthy, unless you are powerful and powerful, you must follow this law." ”
"What about the government? Do they all care? Zhou Jin asked.
"When the water is clear, there are no fish, there are people of three religions and nine streams in this world, if the government arrests everyone, the prison cell will not be enough." Song Xingchen said lightly: "These ruffians are scum in the eyes of some people, but they are useful in the eyes of others. Existence is reasonable, this is an eternal truth. ”
"So killing people and setting fires is also reasonable?" Ruan Qinglian asked a little angrily.
"Reasonable." Song Xingchen nodded, "If everyone is a good citizen who abides by the law, what is the use of the government?" ”
Ruan Qinglian choked, but she didn't know what to say to refute, it was the first time she had heard such an explanation, but it seemed to be correct.
"Let's go, since you're here, let's taste the taste of southern cuisine, don't affect your appetite because of these trivial things that the parties don't care about, sister's silver can't be knocked at any time." Song Xingchen quickly sorted out his emotions and said with a smile.
"Yes, we can't forget the original intention, let's order the most expensive dish!" Ruan Qinglian, who was choked, immediately retaliated back, shouted loudly, and then walked into the restaurant, pointed at Song Xingchen and shouted: "Xiao Er, come to a private room, bring up the most expensive dishes, and settle the bill with her!" ”
