Chapter 106

When they returned to the restaurant, it was already nightfall. (Watch and see ♀)

Ronghe County is not like the imperial capital, it is a city that never sleeps, after nightfall, there are only three or three pedestrians on the street, and the stalls have been taken away, and the narrow streets are a little more lonely.

Only a few dimly lit lanterns, hanging on the line between the attics, illuminate the path ahead.

Stepping into the restaurant, the restaurant was empty, and the little second brother was dozing off on the counter.

Hearing the footsteps, he woke up suddenly, cheered up, and greeted him with a smile: "A few people are finally back, sit down quickly, the food is still hot." ”

"Thank you." Li Yunqing thanked him softly, it is estimated that the fire in the stove has been extinguished at this hour, and he even left food for them.

The four of them sat down, the little second brother enthusiastically made tea, served food, and finally wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I heard that you were attacked, and the killer was arrested to the county office?" ”

"yes." Xuanyuan Qiyu was already hungry, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a mouthful of food, and replied vaguely.

Naturally, others were not so talkative and ate quietly.

"Then you have a grievance, and what other county Yin doesn't care about, our Lord Cui won't ignore it." The little second brother seems to be a talker, and it is estimated that he is too bored to watch the store alone, so he found a stool at the next table and sat down, crackling and began to say, "You guys don't know from other places, Master Cui is a good official, and the people of Ronghe County love him very much." I only heard that he was a great general before, and he was a tiger general under that captain Lin Qi. As a result, it seems that he offended him later and was degraded. Alas, it must be the captain's fault, how could we adults do something wrong"

Hearing this, the four of them were embarrassed, and the people here really had blind confidence in Cui Tingyu.

"Eh, little brother, are you right?" The little second brother found that no one was paying attention to him, so he asked Xuanyuan Qiyu.

Xuanyuan Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Mmmmmmmm ”

"I really hope that our Lord Cui will have a comeback one day, but, in that case, he will no longer be Lord Cui of Ronghe County, alas." The little second brother sighed, he was a little sad, he casually picked up a handkerchief and wiped the table, and continued, "It's just that Master Cui no longer has the arrogance of the past, and he farms every day, so it's probably like that." It's good that you can grow old in peace. ”

Li Yunqing's clear eyes moved slightly.

No more pride?

She didn't think that Cui Tingyu was hidden here, but there was no one to help him.

She has, Cui Tingyu will not forget Lin Qi's pit and the tragic death of his daughter. will not let his grandson go, just like this, in the imperial palace, being bullied.

What's more, Cui Tingyu has the ambition to serve the country and defend the people.

It is impossible for him to stay here in peace for the rest of his life.

Li Yunqing slowly put down the chopsticks and knocked out a crisp sound on the table, there was Liu Bei Sangu thatched house, she didn't believe it, she went to Ronghe County in person, this Cui Tingyu, she couldn't take it back to Beijing.

After the four of them finished eating, they went to rest.

Day 2.

Ronghe County was lively early, and the cries were endless.

Li Yunqing and the four of them dressed neatly, ate breakfast, and went to the street.

Walking on the street, I saw some people going in the direction of the county office.

Xuanyuan Qiyu grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, what are these people doing?" ”

"You don't know?" The man said in surprise.

"We're from out of town, and we're asking my uncle for advice." Xuanyuan Qiyu scratched his head and said extremely modestly.

The man smiled innocently: "Tell you what you don't teach." Not every place in the Qin Kingdom is as smooth as our Ronghe County, and there are often hungry people coming from outside. Our county Lord Yin Cui will give porridge relief at the gate of the county government every morning. ”

"Oh, thank you, uncle." Xuanyuan Qiyu thanked with a smile.

Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows in surprise and said softly, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

"Let's go." Xuanyuan Qiyu strode in front, looking at the gadgets on the stall from time to time, and had a lot of fun.

In this way, after a while, several people arrived at the county office.

I saw five or six large tables set up in front of the county yamen, on which were dishes and chopsticks, and pots of porridge.

Behind the table are three or four catchers, scooping porridge one by one for those who come to eat porridge, and occasionally sprinkling a little dried vegetables.

On the far left is a simple stove, Cui Tingyu is wearing an apron and holding a large spoon, stirring in the rice porridge with white flowers, and a large cloud of water mist flutters.

Cui Tingyu's face was already sweaty, so he wiped his sleeve casually and continued to cook porridge.

There was a catcher squatting in front of the stove, constantly adding firewood, his face was gray and fluffy, and he didn't have the majesty of catching fast at all, but they didn't complain.

And in front of the table, there are hungry beggars with a big pomp dragon, all dressed in rags and unkempt, looking at the porridge in front of them and swallowing saliva, as if they have been hungry for a long time.

The hungry people drank a bowl of porridge, but they still held their stomachs, looking hungry, and they could only sit weakly on the sidelines, not knowing what to do.

But seeing Cui Tingyu dressed in coarse cloth clothes, he knew that he must have taken all his savings to help the people, but unfortunately it was still not enough.

Li Yunqing squinted his cold eyes, every year the imperial court would allocate millions of dollars to relieve the hungry, but not a penny really reached the hands of the people, and it was secretly withheld layer by layer.

Cui Tingyu is using his meager income to help the people without reservation, which is really a clear stream of Daqin, which is admirable.

Xuanyuan Ran Quercus and Xuanyuan Qiyu looked at all this with a frown.

In the imperial palace and the imperial capital, all they saw were a group of people who were poor and extravagant, most of them occupied the blood and sweat of the people, and lived a rich life, but the people did not die when they were old, and the fish and meat squeezed the people.

Such a gap will not die in this world, but it can be reduced.

Li Yunqing narrowed her eyes, looked at the two children, and said suddenly: "Don't you have a lot of silver tickets on you, go to the street to buy some food and help these people." ”

Although it can be saved for a while, it can't be saved for a lifetime, but it can let these two princes know that when they can help others, they must do their best.

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Qiyu answered simply, pulled up Xuanyuan Ran's sleeve and walked out into the street.

And Li Yunqing was standing under the tree not far away, looking at the long queue and the endless stream of hungry people, and the bottom of his eyes was a layer of icy complexity.

Cao Ba simply jumped onto the tree, sat on the branch, and looked down with a cold gaze.

But he said that the two teenagers.

"Dog minion, what do you think we should buy?" Xuanyuan Qiyu strode down the street, there were too many things, and he didn't know how to choose, so he asked.

Xuanyuan Quercus looked around with a calm gaze: "Buy some steamed buns and flatbreads and the like, easy to satisfy hunger." ”

"It's also huh." Xuanyuan Qiyu walked to a place selling steamed buns, stretched out his head to look at the fragrant food in the steamer, and asked, "Boss, how can this steamed bun be sold?" ”

The one who sold the buns was an aunt, and the aunt smiled kindly: "The buns cost two pennies a penny, and the steamed buns cost a penny, how many do you want?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of butter paper and prepared to pack it for him.

Xuanyuan Qiyu rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "How many do you have here?" ”

"What?" The aunt was stunned,

Xuanyuan Qiyu said with a smile: "It's just that Auntie, I will buy as much as you did today." ”

The aunt glared at her in disbelief, almost thinking that she had heard it wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Little boy, don't coax me, what are you doing with so many steamed buns?" ”

She had never heard anyone say anything so astonishing.

"Auntie knows that Master Cui is giving porridge at the gate of the county government, just help us move things there." Xuanyuan Qiyu smiled, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, and looked at the 100,000 taels printed on it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

How much is this 100,000 taels?

Forget it, whatever.

Xuanyuan Qiyu directly threw a silver ticket on the table: "Oh, money." ”

Hearing that Xuanyuan Qiyu bought so much and did good deeds, the aunt smiled, but when she looked at the silver ticket, she was so frightened that she almost stared out her eyes: "Oh, little boy, you have such a big silver ticket, I can't find it, auntie." ”

Xuanyuan Qiyu frowned: "Then what can I do?" ”

He only has such a silver ticket on him, and he still carried it casually when he left the palace, and he had more than a dozen in his pocket, how can he use it in the future?

"This" thought it was big business, but then the aunt was in trouble.

Xuanyuan Qiyu looked at the entire street, there were many places selling food, and pondered for a while: "Why don't I buy the food made by the entire Ronghe County and give it all to the hungry people, and you can divide this silver ticket equally." ”

Xuanyuan Qiyu's words were amazing, even Xuanyuan Ran Yu glared, and then wiped his face speechlessly.

When the aunt heard this, she thought about it in embarrassment, but she still wanted to make money, so she said, "Okay, little boy, you wait, I'll go and discuss with them." ”

In this small place, the merchants are all neighbors and know each other, and this statement has been spread from ten to hundred, and they have all agreed.

You must know that 100,000 taels, a small ticket that may be spent in the imperial capital in just a snap of a finger, in Ronghe County, but it can buy half of the city's astronomical amount!

How could they lose such a big bargain and not pick it up?

Thereupon.

About a quarter of an hour later, an incomparably spectacular scene appeared in Ronghe County.

Countless food vendors stopped selling anything, carrying all their food, like ants moving, in the direction of the county office.

The smell of the food, stacked on top of each other in the open space, attracted many onlookers, who wondered why so much food was placed here.

Li Yunqing saw such a spectacular scene, she was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but rub her eyebrows with her fingers, and sighed faintly.

Such a "big deal" must be what Xuanyuan Qiyu can do.
