Chapter 5, Section 16 The Little Flower Cat Begging for Food (2)
Speaking of Liang Jingren, the first rice merchant in Jingxiang, he was too angry.
I accompanied him to Liang Jingren's mansion for the third time today, originally to persuade him to donate some food. But he just invited us into the living room to sit for a while, and then sent us out under the pretext that something was wrong. I was so angry that I was dumbfounded.
If he was in the capital, he would have been sentenced to a crime of disrespect and thrown into prison. But here the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the country is in a time of many disasters and difficulties, so these rich people are especially needed.
In short, asking for help is not done by people. Usually, these grass people who have no position or title see the royal family, and they kneel in the dust and don't even dare to raise their heads. Now once we ask them, we have to look at their faces in reverse.
Speaking of which, the only advantage of going to Liang's house today is that I don't need to drink with others, so I finally came back sober.
There are so many gentry in Xiangyang, this Liang Jingren is the most difficult. What's more, what's even more infuriating is that he is still a young handsome guy.
Maybe it's because he's handsome and super rich, so he's dragged to death, the first in the world, and he doesn't even give him too much.
When it comes to the luxury of his family, as well as his dress, he is no less than those wealthy men in the capital. This also makes us curious about his identity, what is the origin of this person?
Counting up, there is no surname of the wealthy family of the Jin Kingdom, and there is no high-ranking official in the imperial court, so this Liang Jingren is by no means from a famous family., and the computer station is the fastest.
Didn't he understand that in an era of extreme family importance, money alone was not enough? In order to win people's respect, you must also be powerful and famous. And to get these, you must enter the upper class and aristocratic circles, so that someone will promote and introduce you.
The quickest way for a grassroots class like him to get ahead is to cling to the powerful. Tai's appearance is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
If it weren't for this great natural disaster, with his small rice merchant, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Tai in his lifetime. Now Tai personally came to visit, just asking him to donate some rice. If you are smart, you will definitely take the opportunity to make friends too, and use this as a step into your body.
Is there a quicker way to get into the body than to be too attached? Shi Chong is known as the richest man in the world, and he is still in a hurry, let alone him?
Thinking about it, I can only explain it this way, probably because he grew up in a remote place in the south far away from Jingshi, so he is lonely and unheard, Yelang is arrogant, and he is completely a frog at the bottom of a well who has never seen the world. Seeing that he had his eyes closed and his face depressed, thinking of his nervousness and hard work during this time, I couldn't help but reach out and touch his face and ask, "Aren't you tired?" Do you want to rest early? ”
He said weakly, "I can't sleep, and I have a headache at the thought that tomorrow I don't know where to get relief food." ”
I said, "After your father received your urgent letter, didn't he already urgently transport another 10,000 loads of grain?" ”
He smiled wryly and said, "It's still not enough." We're going to Jiangling tomorrow, and then we're going to Jingmen, Changsha, and Jiang...... You think, just one Xiangyang, not yet the hardest-hit area, is about to exhaust the 10,000 loads of grain we brought, and ...... in the future."
I knew I couldn't comfort him by saying anything. I don't have relief food in my hand, and I go to those hard-hit areas, but I am afraid that not only will I not be welcomed, but I will be besieged by hungry people like last time.
Seeing him close his eyes in weariness, I kissed him on the forehead in distress. He's really lost weight these days. Since he was born, he has never suffered like this.
A thought occurred to me. Perhaps, this will make him a little happier.
I turned around and asked Zhang Hong, "Zhang Hong, what time is it?" ”
"It's probably time."
Although it was a little late, I only had to go there today, and since I hadn't drunk tonight, I might as well take him to the place I had always wanted to take him to, and let him see the most mysterious and alluring side of the market. I'm sure my little flower cat will love it, because, (sorry, I have to admit), he was originally a little color cat.
Sure enough, as soon as I said my thoughts, someone's eyes immediately shone brightly, all the depression and worries were swept away, and the body slipped off my lap, and said energetically and ecstatically, "Then let's hurry up, it's not too late, people are closed and sleeping." ”
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Lord, that kind of place is for night business, which is open all night at night and closed for sleep during the day." ”
I was so surprised that I said, "Really, isn't that the same as a cat?" ”
Tai and I dressed up as rich guys, and Zhang Hong dressed up as our entourage. When he went out, he explained to the captain of the guard and said, "Let's go out to find Liang Jingren to ask for food." ”
The captain of the guard said, "Let's let my subordinates bring more people with them." There are a lot of homeless people here, and the streets are very chaotic at night. ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "Then you can pick two more people with good skills to follow, and the crowds will be eye-catching." ”
The chief guard hurriedly ordered two guards, and we were a group of five, and instead of taking our own cars, we chartered two carriages on the street and drove out of the famous embankment.
Looking at the little flower cat's longing and excitement, I was still a little nervous in my heart, he wouldn't fall in love with a certain Oiran there, right?
