Everyone had lunch in the old lady's house, and then they dispersed.

The old lady is used to eating some tea after dinner, and Mother Li brought the tea to the old lady to eat, and the old lady said, "Is it the news that Mingrui asked people to bring back?" ”

Mother Li said: "I don't know, the little guy around Hou Ye has come back a few times." ”

The old lady handed the tea bowl to Li's mother, "If Mingrui asked people to come back and tell Rong Hua in advance about blowing up the embankment, so that Rong Hua could find a way to suppress the price of rice, these two children would be together." ”

Mother Li said: "I don't know anything else, the weather has been wet and cold these days, and Master Hou asked Jiyitang to send ointment to the young lady a few times." ”

The old lady was stunned, "Mingrui, this kid is on the embankment, how can he still take care of so much, the court has sent so many people to follow, for fear that something will happen to him accidentally, he is still thinking about the family, it is really nonsense......" In the end, she was relieved, "But they are newly married Yan'er, Ronghua has done so many things for the family these days, Mingrui is outside, inside and out, she is alone, it is not easy, it is better than I thought, and they are all young people, and they can understand each other." ”

Mother Li smiled: "What the old lady said is that it is not easy for the young lady during this time. ”

The old lady let out a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that the fourth child had done a lot of things, if it was like this, it would be good if the fourth child and his family had something to do." ”

Mother Li smiled: "The old lady has worked hard these days, and now that these things have been settled, the old lady can also have a good rest." ”

The old lady smiled meaningfully, "I want to rest, it's still early." ”

……

Rong Hua sat down in the fourth wife's room, and the fourth wife breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really afraid that he won't agree, but I didn't expect to transport the rice and grain early this morning." ”

Rong Hua pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "The price we gave is not low, the relationship between the fourth uncle and him is there, why not be happy if he can hand us over." ”

The fourth lady glanced at Rong Hua, and her eyes showed appreciation, "You can still hold it, and you want this price, these rice grains." ”

Rong Hua said: "Shangjia is based on integrity, since he told me the truth," Long Zhengping said, because of the high price of rice grain in Beijing, rice grain from many places is being shipped over, and the price of rice grain will inevitably be low at that time, so it is better for her to wait for two more days, as long as someone lists rice for sale, he will also give it to her according to that price, but what she wants is time, "This side has been affected, and many people want to seek this benefit." "Chang Ningbo's family bought rice again, making rice and grain in Beijing scarce all of a sudden, and now it seems that the market is very good, and this will not be the case when a large amount of rice and grain arrives.

The price of rice in Changningbo Mansion is now very low, especially with the pressure of many rice shops in their hands, and the merchants in the capital have either leaned on it a long time ago, or they can't get used to these like Long Zhengping, so they avoid it from afar.

In the past few days, she and the fourth uncle have talked about this matter a lot, and gradually understood when Shang Jia said that it was the best time.

"I read a lot of books, and I also asked the Hou Ye, if the imperial court in other places opens a warehouse to approve layer by layer, when the real warehouse is opened, it will take a long time, the capital is different from other places, the imperial court will approve it much faster than other places, and this flood, timely blowing up the embankment and releasing the flood will alleviate the disaster, and you should know when the most appropriate time to shoot when you are balancing."

The fourth lady smiled: "He is still worried about whether the vegetables from the Zhuangzi will be sold to him in winter." ”

From knowing that Long Zhengping would not sell rice and grain to her easily, to this morning Long Zhengping sent someone to send rice and grain, she experienced a lot of twists and turns in the middle, which made her disappointed, but she still didn't give up in the end.

It should have been done well for the family with one heart and one mind, but the second and third aunts had other thoughts, in order to see her jokes, the second aunt and the third aunt had already proposed to sell the rice grain of the third aunt's family in front of the old lady in an empathetic way, so it was okay, everyone made it clear in front of the old lady, no matter what happened to the rice of the third aunt's mother's family, it could no longer be blamed on her.

……

Shi Mian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, sat in the room uneasily, and Shi An, the deacon beside him, came back from outside in the rain, and came straight to Shi Mian to say, "Master, Prince Zhuang is sick and doesn't see guests, so I just won't let me enter the mansion." ”

Shi Mian sat in the chair and didn't speak, and it took a long time before he laughed, "I know." ”

Shi An said: "You said, will Prince Zhuang help the master?" ”

Shi Mian stood up, "If you can help, you won't avoid it." ”

Shi An suddenly panicked, "What does the master mean ......"

Shi Mian said lightly: "Prince Zhuang is not a person who can't be saved, no one can help with this matter," after speaking, he looked at the rain outside, "If it weren't for Xue Mingrui, there would be no today's incident, this person doesn't know how many things he will give birth to the prince in the future, so it is better to let me solve it for the prince." ”

Shi An's eyes widened, "Master, you have to think clearly." ”

Shi Mian said: "I have received the kindness of Prince Zhuang, and I will inevitably do some things for the prince." ”

After Shi Mian finished speaking, he returned to the inner courtyard, Mrs. Shi was teaching her youngest son to read the disciple rules, and when she saw Shi Mian enter the house, Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Mian's expression, and hurriedly asked ** to lead her son down to rest.

Shi Mian sat down and drank a cup of tea before he spoke, "The embankment is going to be blown up today." ”

Mrs. Shi's fingers trembled, and she raised her head to look at her husband, "What are the plans?" ”

Shi exhorted: "I can do everything I can, but unfortunately the children are still young." ”

Mrs. Shi's eyes turned red.

Shi exhorted: "There are some things that I haven't done well, one thing to ask Mrs., if Mrs. is willing, she will help, if she is not, I will not ask." ”

Mrs. Shi's tears fell, she raised her head and took Shi Mian's hand, "What is this word, master, just say what the master has, I will definitely find a way to ......"

Shi Mian's nose was sour, his eyes looked to the side, and he stabilized his emotions before he spoke, "It's useless for us to keep some money, it's better to entrust it to others." ”

Mrs. Shi didn't understand the meaning of encouragement for a while.

"We can do our best to find a way out for the children," Shi said. ”

Mrs. Shi burst into tears when she heard this.

……

"Idiot." Mrs. Xue threw the tea bowl in her hand on the ground and smashed it.

She never imagined that the news she got would be so unreliable.

None of the maids outside dared to enter the house to clean up, and they were pushing and shouting, and the second master entered the yard, and everyone hurriedly gave way.

Xue Chongyi entered the room and saw the second wife sitting on the chair with a calm face, and before she could speak, she heard someone outside hurriedly come to pay her respects.

Xue Chongyi let people in.

The little guy said, "The levee has exploded." ”

Xue Chongyi hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

The little guy said: "The small one only heard a few loud sounds, and some people said that the flood was discharged, and the small one was busy looking over, but there were many people over there, and they couldn't find out for a while, and then I heard that the remaining steward in our house was looking for Hou Ye, and I knew that Hou Ye couldn't find it." ”

The second wife suddenly came to her senses, "What did you say?" Hou Ye can't find it? ”

Xiao Wu said: "That's right, the emperor sent people from the Beijing camp, and they are looking around, some people say that they saw the Hou Ye on the embankment before the, but now the dike has exploded, and there are floods everywhere, where can I see people again." ”

Before Xue Chongyi could speak, the second wife had already asked, "That means I haven't found Mingrui yet?" ”

The little servant said: "No, Steward Yu has already entered the mansion to tell the old lady." ”

The second wife raised her eyebrows and looked at Xue Chongyi.

Xue Chongyi said: "I'll go to my mother's house and listen to what Steward Yu has to say." ”

Xue Chongyi sent the little guy away, and just as he walked forward, the second wife hurriedly followed, "I'll also go over with the master to see if there is anything I need to help." ”

Xue Chongyi nodded, "That's fine." ”

Xue Chongyi and the second wife entered the house, and the remaining steward had not left yet, and the old lady's voice was slightly nervous, "I think there are many people on the embankment, and it is difficult to find them for a while, you can bring more people from the house, and come back immediately as soon as there is news and let me know." ”

Steward Yu nodded and hurriedly retreated.

The old lady's eyes were a little blurry, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and lean on the soft cushion, Rong Hua was stunned in her seat, listening to the sound of rain outside, and only woke up suddenly after a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady up.

Xue Chongyi stepped forward to comfort the old lady, "Mother, don't worry, I'll take someone to the embankment to have a look in a while." ”

The second wife also comforted: "The news is not accurate now, you must not be extremely bad," said and looked at Rong Hua, "Don't panic at this time, the old lady is not in good health these days." ”

Rong Hua closed his eyes slightly, and the whole person could not hide his nervousness.

The second wife looked calm, took the old lady from Rong Hua's hand, and hurriedly asked Xiangyu to help the old lady to the inner room to rest.

The old lady shook her head, "Where can I sit still at this time, or listen to Mingrui's news......"

The second lady said: "As soon as there is news, I will go and tell the old lady to know." ”

Rong Hua raised his head to look at the second wife.

The second wife seemed to be very skillful, and seemed to be calmly responding, but in fact, she didn't take others seriously, just a piece of news made the second wife show her skills.

While talking in the house, the mother-in-law outside came in a panic, "Old lady, the steward in front is here, saying that the people from the yamen outside want to see the second master." ”

Xue Chongyi was stunned when he heard this.

The old lady looked sideways at Xue Chongyi, "Go and see what's going on." ”

Xue Chongyi's face tightened, and he hurriedly raised his feet and walked outside the house.

The second wife couldn't sit still at this moment, so she hurriedly asked her mother-in-law to inquire.

Rong Hua's face was slightly soothed.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

finally waited for the mother-in-law to come back and forth, "Oh no, the people from the court took the second master away." ”

The second wife's whole heart suddenly lifted, and she suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, "Which one is from the yamen?" What did they say? ”

The mother-in-law said: "I heard that it was the person who led the guards and brought the Supervision and Examination Department of the Criminal Department,"

I was dizzy from heat stroke.

I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival. ()
