Chapter 31: Reminder

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

As soon as the word debt repayment was mentioned, Bai Susu's sadness began to rise.

Gritted his teeth for a long time, this thing is to blame on the hateful Zhang Ping, this person is stingy, since he set the deadline for repaying debts, he comes to collect debts on time every month, no more, no less, five taels a month.

Hehe, her monthly silver is five taels.

She still had a little private money in her hand before, but it couldn't last long, and her little monthly silver was really not enough to eat.

There were so many delicious foods outside, she could only look at them, and when she thought of this Bai Susu, she suddenly felt that life was so difficult.

"Make money, you have to make money!"

This is the most resolute decision that Bai Susu has ever made again.

Qing Niang: Auntie, can we stop dreaming?

Chunlan: The meat in my aunt's pot is ready.

The more Bai Susu thought about it, the more he felt that making money was indeed a top priority, and it was really not a long-term solution.

Lu Zhiyuan has been busy with the two of them lately, and if she always bothers him for such a trivial matter as a bite to eat, it is tantamount to wasting the relationship between the two of them. The most important thing is to save the emergency and not the poor, Lu Zhiyuan can help her once or twice, what about ten times and eight times, how big is her face Yueyue asked him for money for this matter.

The pig's trotters in the pot emitted an attractive aroma, and Bai Susu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

It smells so good!

There is a plan, but the question is what to do to make money, and this problem stumped Bai Susu again.

opened a shop, she didn't know how to run it, and asked Chunlan and Qingniang, and the two of them shook their heads like rattles.

Bai Susu was suddenly deflated, and he was already in a daze for an afternoon with his hands on his head.

Qingniang and Chunlan glanced at the house several times, both a little worried.

"Auntie isn't still thinking about making money, is she?" Qing Niang's arm touched Chunlan next to her.

She stuffed a plum into her mouth, and then shook her head, "I don't know, it's about like this, haven't you seen that my aunt has been sighing for half a day." ”

"You go in and tell your aunt some interesting things to relieve her boredom, and she won't want to." Qingniang pondered Aunt Bai's temperament for a while and thought of a way.

Chunlan glanced at her, "Why don't you go by yourself." ”

After the maid Qingniang came, Chunlan's relationship with her has been lukewarm, and there is some subtle embarrassment. Qingniang is knowledgeable, speaks softly, and compared with her, Chunlan is reckless and rude, and she is still a tendon.

As soon as she thought about it herself, she felt that she would choose Qingniang if she was the master, so she was working hard to perform in front of the master for a while, just to keep the status of this first confidant.

"I'm clumsy, and I can't speak well." Qing Niang said.

Qingniang knew in her heart that Chunlan still had some opinions about her, and the little girl was simple-minded and wrote everything on her face. She doesn't hate Chunlan, on the contrary, she likes such a simple-minded girl.

Chunlan heard her say this and thought, Hmph, you are still self-aware, if you want to talk about interesting things outside, no one knows better than yourself.

Lu Zhiyuan is an official who has been released from the outside, and he has been in Anyang for three years, so the people who are serving around, except for Zhu Ping and a few henchmen and maids around Luo, who were brought from the capital, the others are all bought in Anyang.

Generally, they signed a deed of sale for a few years, and when Lu Zhiyuan was transferred, they were also put home.

Chunlan is the only one left in the family with her eldest brother, after the eldest brother got married, her sister-in-law treated her badly, so she begged Aunt Wang next door to enter the Lu family as a maid.

The master is kind and good to her, so she is also a reward, she wants to serve Aunt Bai well in the future, and be the first-class maid by her side, Aunt is good, and her good life is not worried.

But since the young lady came, everything has changed.

Chunlan cheered herself up, no, she couldn't grow others' ambitions, she must pick up what her aunt was interested in for a while, so that she could be happy.

Bai Susu was worried about her livelihood, when she heard Chunlan say that she wanted to tell her something outside to relieve her boredom. She thought that it would be okay, she couldn't go out anyway, and she could listen more to the things outside, maybe there would be any good ideas.

Chunlan told her about a recent incident in Anyang, which is why Lu Zhiyuan has been very busy recently.

Three months ago, there was a small-scale earthquake in Anyang County, and because the shaking was relatively small and did not last long, it did not cause panic among everyone.

Late one night half a month ago, dozens of homes around Anyang were shaken down overnight, and although most of them ran out, there were still more than a dozen people buried in the rubble.

More than a dozen lives were gone all at once, and for such a big matter, Lu Zhiyuan, as the county guard, naturally rushed to check it, and then had to comfort the injured and deal with the disaster. If there is such a big thing in the territory under his management, the upper peak side will also report it.

In short, it's very busy.

Chunlan wanted to say that this happened in the earthquake, because the houses collapsed overnight, hundreds of people had no shelter, and the government temporarily built sheds to house the victims, but now in this weather, the snow is falling one after another, and the weather is freezing outside, where can the open-air shed be warm.

Quilts are naturally in short supply in seasons, and the government collects and buys a large number of quilts everywhere to relieve the victims, but all the surrounding families have no quilts for sale.

After a check, I found out that someone had taken away all the quilts around at a high price a few days ago.

This is someone who wants to take the opportunity to make a fortune, Lu Zhiyuan was furious, and immediately sent someone to investigate, only to find out that it was a quilt collected by the king in the city.

When the government found Wang Yuanwai's house, he directly set the price, a quilt and a tael of silver.

At present, the price of materials, the price of quilts is about 300 Wen, and he has directly tripled.

At that time, there were too many victims, and the accident changed day by day, and a small number of people have begun to be restless recently, if they are not calmed down in time, once hundreds of victims make trouble at the same time, there will be riots, and then Lu Zhiyuan, the Taishou, will inevitably be implicated.

After weighing the two phases, Lu Zhiyuan did not hesitate, and directly bought all the quilts, the entire five hundred.

"This man is also disgusting, and he is not afraid of retribution for making such unconscionable wealth." Bai Susu was a little angry.

"Who's to say it's not, this hateful king has taken this opportunity to make a lot of money." Chunlan snorted angrily, and then laughed again, making Bai Susu confused.

"If you want the slave to say that the retribution is too fast, after the king made money, that night, before the silver was hot, there was an earthquake in his house, and now it was good, the house collapsed, and the family finally ran out with the silver by himself, and the two sons and his wife and concubines were all buried in it."

"Ahh Bai Susu sighed after listening to it for a while, she came back from the dead, and she still believed in the saying of heavenly reincarnation, "This is really retribution." ”

"The outside also said the same, what's the use of asking for so much silver, when the earthquake happened, some people saw it really, Wang Yuanwai was pulling his two sons to run at first, and then remembered that he didn't take the silver, so he threw his son back to get it, and when he ran out again, he found that his son didn't come out."

Chunlan stopped talking, she originally wanted to say something interesting to make Bai Susu happy, but both of them sighed at each other.

People like Wang Yuanwai take money too seriously, but if he was asked to choose again, he might still choose his son, but at that moment he made the wrong choice that caused the tragedy later. But where is there any regret medicine in this world.

Bai Susu didn't come to her senses for a long time after listening to Chunlan's words, and after listening to the story, another thing suddenly appeared in her mind, and she suddenly sighed in her heart.

In the past, Aunt Bai, who was about to pounce when she saw him, would sit quietly in the room and not know what to think.

"Who upset you?" Lu Zhiyuan sat down in the seat next to him.

Bai Susu looked up at him at this time, and then sighed again, "No one messed with me." ”

Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, and said no, but his face was full of expressions that someone had provoked me, and his eyes were not good.

Stretched out her hand to summon Chunlan over and asked the reason, Chunlan said, "Auntie heard about the earthquake outside in the afternoon, and it has always been like this." ”

Lu Zhiyuan naturally understood that Bai Susu was worried about the situation of the victims, and his heart was very ironed, his face naturally became gentle, and he took her hand and held it in the palm of his hand, "It's okay, it's almost done, the number of casualties among the victims is very small, and it is still under control." ”

Bai Susu was stunned for a moment, and only after she reacted did she understand that she mistakenly thought that she was worried about the victims, and sighed in her heart, my lord, I am worried about you, you are going to be unlucky this time, and there will be another earthquake in a while, and the number of victims will increase sharply, and the government will not be able to control it for a while, and there will be a big riot.

The imperial court directly grabbed the prison on the grounds of Lu Zhiyuan's improper governance, and the matter was finally resolved by the Lu family, but this was a stain on Lu Zhiyuan's entire official career, so that ten years later, when that incident happened, some people brought up the old matter again and made a big fuss about it.

She remembered that when there was an earthquake in her previous life, all the people in Anyang County were evacuated to Linzhen for refuge, and she was also taken into the car in a daze at that time, and went to the neighboring town for more than two months before returning. It's just that she wasn't familiar with Lu Zhiyuan at that time, and he didn't come back long after, so she didn't take this matter too seriously.

In fact, the scope of the earthquake was only in the northern and eastern parts of Anyang County, and it did not occur in the city at all, but other places were indeed very bad.

People are dying, burying and buried, but the weather is freezing cold, and people have nowhere to take refuge.

"Second master, I heard that the earthquake occurred in an area in the north of Anyang City, do you think it will spread to other places?" There was a deep worry on her face, and she reminded tentatively, "It's like the west of the city." ”
