Chapter Seventy-Four: A Private Interview with Weifu
"Don't worry, I hid some grain on the mountain, no matter how big or small the people in our village, each person has ten catties of rice, twenty catties of corn, and ten catties of soybeans, and maintain it first, and wait for the late rice to come down after half a month, if it is not enough, I will find a way for you."
"Thank you, lady, thank you...."
"My family has been off for three days, and it all depends on eating wild vegetables and corn."
"We've met a nice guy!"
......
"Also, also, don't make a noise for me." Qi Ning climbed into the car and pressed his hands to silence everyone.
"The family who rented my original paddy field will be free of rent for one year next year. Later, those who rented the fields in the old village were exempted from rent for a few years, and the previous rent was not collected, and five years later, that is, the sixth year, they began to harvest fifty percent. ”
"Okay, okay, the owner is a good person, we are content."
The crowd echoed, and some women and old men burst into tears.
Wu's mother-in-law rushed out of the crowd and held Qi Ning's hand: "Qi Dongjia, good people." ”
"Grandma Zhu, you're old, don't get too excited. There is also a thing to tell you, this year's grain is down, everyone should leave more rations, it is best to leave enough to eat next year, I am afraid that next year will not be good, as the saying goes, the drought and flood damage for three years, if you are not willing to eat rice, you will sell it and replace it with coarse grain. After a while, I will ask the housekeeper to kill a few pigs, and the family will have ten catties of meat, bones and water to you, and first make up for the old people and children in the family. ”
"Qi Dongjia, you are a living bodhisattva!!"
Sister-in-law Zhu's mother-in-law listened in the crowd, and she was moved, and she groped for a pout, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Qi Ning. Seeing this, the crowd also knelt down in a large area, and the cry rang out.
"Get up, get up, don't say this, I can't afford everyone to be like this." Qi Ning and Hanqiu helped everyone up one by one.
The housekeeper didn't know why, but he saw it from a distance and thought something was happening, so he hurriedly ran over with the iron bull.
"Young grandma."
"Butler, you have worked hard with everyone to guard the mountain, and now the victims are scattered. But many families in the village have been cut off, you give each person 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of corn, 10 catties of soybeans according to the village roster, and then kill a few pigs, a family of 10 catties of meat, and the bones are also divided equally, let everyone slow down first. ”
"Here, young grandma, our family spent a lot of money to help the victims, right?"
"You do what I say, I can't take care of much, I can only take care of the people of Zhujia Village first. After the distribution is over, you can take everyone back to the city, and leave ten catties of meat for Qi Zhong's family. ”
"Yes, I'll take someone with me." The butler hesitated a little but did not dare to disobey the master's order, and turned to the mountain to call someone to go.
"Qi Dongjia, go to my house and sit down." Village Chief Zhu wiped the tears on his face and said sincerely to Qi Ning.
"Uncle, I won't go first, your two eldest brothers and your grandson have also worked hard recently, let them go back to the city tomorrow, and you can reunite tonight."
"Hey, with the owner to take care of you, my family's life is still passable, I will let them enter the city early tomorrow morning, and I won't delay the owner's affairs."
"Everyone go to the bottom of the mountain and wait for the food to be carried back, let Qi Zhong tell me if there is anything, and I will come back to see everyone frequently." After Qi Ning finished speaking, he was going to leave with Hanqiu and Tie Niu.
The villagers behind him didn't rush to distribute the grain, and they followed behind, watching Qi Ning get into the carriage and walk away, everyone turned around and went to the foot of the mountain.
Back in the city, Qi Ning washed up and changed her clothes, hugged Dabao and was intimacy, Hanqiu came in and replied: "Young grandma, the young master is back, take a few people to the innermost private room upstairs, let you go over." ”
"He hasn't been back for a few days, why did he suddenly bring someone here today? You look at Dabao, I'll go and take a look. As he spoke, he handed Dabao to Hanqiu. I went to the big private room in the innermost part of the upstairs, because this private room is large, it is generally used by more than a dozen guests, so the utilization rate is less. Qi Ning pushed open the door and saw Jing Su and Xiao Yunsheng sitting on both sides, with a somewhat familiar person sitting in the middle.
"Xiao Gongzi is here, I have lost a lot of disaster relief recently, and I can't afford to eat, I won't give you free money for this table of dishes today!" Qi Ning looked at Xiao Yunsheng jokingly.
"Ning'er, kneel down and see the emperor." Jing Su stood up and closed the door and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty? Who? Yes! The folk girl has seen the emperor! Qi Ning reacted, she had seen this person a few times, it was the man in brocade clothes who didn't speak and dragged with Xiao Yunsheng, and later came to eat by herself. It turned out that the emperor also came to her house for dinner, and Qi Ning felt beautiful in her heart, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good advertisement.
"Mrs. Jing, you are now a courtier." Xiao Yunsheng laughed.
"Yes, yes, I forgot. The courtiers have seen the emperor, long live the emperor. ”
"No courtesy." The emperor narrowed his eyes.
"Courtiers thank the emperor for the reward." Qi Ning deliberately pretended to be stupid and raised his hands.
The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth: "The lonely first ascended to the great treasure and continuously reduced taxes, which coincided with the catastrophe and the tight treasury. cough, Lonely, this is a micro-service that didn't bring anything with me, this jade pendant will be rewarded to you. The emperor tore off a piece of jade pendant from his belt and put it on the table.
Qi Ning lowered his head and belly and slandered: Dog Emperor, cut to death. Immediately put on a smile on his face and raised his head to the emperor and said: "This is the emperor's personal thing, how dare the courtiers accept it, just now the courtiers were joking with the emperor, hehe, just joking." As long as the emperor can give the courtiers a will, the courtiers will be grateful. ”
"Tell me about it." The emperor looked at Qi Ning, who was wearing a moon-white cloth dress and had no decoration on his body, and felt very bad.
"The courtiers begged the emperor to give me a holy decree, and in the future, I only have the right to divorce Jingsu, and Jingsu cannot take the initiative to divorce his wife or take a concubine to marry a wife." Qi Ning strengthened his courage and whispered. Xiao Yunsheng, who had been snickering next to him, dug out his ears with his little thumb in shock, he couldn't believe that Qi Ning, who had always been a fan of money, didn't want money, and actually said such a rebellious thing.
"Bold, how can there be a woman in this world who divorces her husband, and no woman dares to stop her husband from taking a concubine, Qi family, do you know that this is jealousy."
The emperor is also sweaty, how can he not know that Qi Ning is playing on the topic of asking Jing Su to marry Princess Nanyun.
This woman is really different from others, not only can she do business, but she can take the initiative to save people at critical moments, regardless of personal gains and losses, which relieves some of the pressure on the court and also gives a good start for those who have money. I heard that she also took the initiative to reduce the land rent, which is also beneficial to the people, which is really rare. But it is really difficult, and I heard that she dared to beat the drums alone and sue for others.
"That's someone else, I told Jing Su in advance that if you don't take a concubine, you won't go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and you are not allowed to marry any flat wife. He promised me, but ......
"You vulgar woman who doesn't know what to do, you shouldn't have heard these words today, for the sake of your disaster relief, I spared you this time, hum." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and left, but his face was not angry.
"Sister Ning, you are really different, if you take this black face one day, consider me?" Xiao Yunsheng playfully bent down and glanced at Qi Ning's face, shook his fan and chased out.
