Chapter 253: Are You Brother and Sister?
For two days in a row, many powerful ministers and wealthy businessmen went to visit the national teacher in private.
I don't know exactly what we discussed, but when the men got home, they immediately asked the servants to sell the cold protection equipment they had received.
Although the people did not know what was happening, they saw that the rich and powerful people did it, and they quickly followed suit.
For a while, the rumors that the blessed girl Shen Ningning was lying spread in the streets.
The words of the national teacher have reduced the price of cold-proof equipment in the city to the freezing point, and even affected the cities and counties around the capital.
Gradually, it evolved into someone throwing cotton clothes and cotton cloth directly on the street, and no one picked them up.
Now no one wants a pair of cotton shoes, so they are left on the street and finally picked up by beggars.
When the news reached the Chinese Academy, Shen Ningning had just finished class and had lunch.
The little guy was sitting in the hexagonal pavilion, talking to a few good classmates.
At this time, Ye Shangyi's voice came from not far away: "County Lord, have you heard?" ”
"It's all out there because you instigate rumors at will!"
"You created panic and caused everyone to buy cotton clothes indiscriminately, but now the national teacher says that there is no snow disaster, how can you explain it?"
Shen Ningning raised her dark eyes and looked at Ye Shangyi with a few beautiful sons, standing in front of her angrily.
"I don't explain." The little guy said glutinously.
She calmly took a bite of the sweet cake in her hand.
A pair of watery eyes were smart, flashing with broken light: "If you don't believe it, you won't believe it." ”
She's been reminded anyway!
For Shen Ningning, it is better to prevent it in advance than to wait for natural disasters to come.
Seeing her attitude, Ye Sheng was even more angry.
When she was running for a female official in the palace before, Shen Ningning pressed her everywhere.
Now that she is a female official, who is not complimented by the people around her?
But Shen Ningning didn't take her seriously.
Ye Shangyi was even more domineering, and her eyebrows squeezed out traces: "You are really irresponsible, and the emperor named you a blessed girl in vain." ”
"And you, relying on this title, are wantonly spreading false news here, how can you be worthy of the emperor's trust."
Shen Ningning finished eating the sweet cake and slowly wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief.
Her voice was soft and brisk: "Uncle Emperor canonized me as a blessed girl because I did attract heavy rain. ”
"As for whether there will be a snow disaster, if you don't believe it, you don't have to listen to me."
The little one got up and left.
Ye Shangyi didn't expect that this Shen Ningning would not take her in her eyes so much!
"You can't go!" Ye Shangyi reached out and grabbed the little guy's wrist.
She had to say something to make Shen Ningning unable to get off the stage.
So, Ye Shangyi said sharply: "So many people outside have lost money because of your actions." ”
"Cotton clothes and quilts are thrown all over the street, but no one wants them, and you must be responsible for the compensation."
"Otherwise, I will lead everyone to isolate you, and the Chinese Academy will not accept you as a liar!"
Shen Ningning withdrew his little hand, and a touch of seriousness rose on his white and tender round face.
"What do you say? Full of streets? ”
Ye Shangyi sneered in her heart, she finally knew that she was afraid?
She raised her chin: "Go and see for yourself, the national teacher said that there will be no natural disasters this winter, and everyone can't wait to sell the cold-proof equipment they bought." ”
"However, it's all because of you, they bought too much, they couldn't sell it, so they had to throw it on the street."
"So, don't you admit that you're the culprit in spreading rumors?"
Shen Ningning couldn't care about her, but turned her head happily and said to her classmates: "Let's go, let's go pick up the cotton clothes they don't want!" ”
The classmates were stunned: "But the county lord, the national teacher said that there was no natural disaster." ”
"He said his, I picked mine, I didn't listen to him." The little guy said and looked at them: "Are you going or not?" ”
They look at me, I look at you.
In the end, the classmates shook their heads together: "Forget it, there is no place to put it when you pick it up." ”
"Yes," someone said, "Last time I followed the trend and bought ten velvet gloves, and I was scolded by my mother." ”
Ye Sheng sneered beside him, staring at Shen Ningning: "Did you hear it, it's all your fault!" ”
Shen Ningning ignored her, and shouted in a soft voice-
"Go to the street to pick up cotton clothes, cotton shoes, and quilts that don't need money, is anyone with me?"
Everyone was silent.
After all, the national teacher has never missed surveying the celestial phenomena.
Shen Ningning pouted: "Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself." ”
I don't want any supplies that I picked up for nothing.
She was about to leave when a cold voice came: "I'm with you." ”
Everyone turned their heads and saw Xu Jingxi coming.
His clothes were very thin, and his cuffs were white.
It was obviously a blue garment, but he wore it as white as snow.
A few boys laughed out loud.
They pointed at Xu Jingxi, and their mocking voices were undisguised-
"The one who needs to pick up clothes to wear the most, in the entire national academy, he is indeed the only one Xu Jingxi."
"Ouch, I really don't know how he will survive in the future."
Shen Ningning's bright eyes glared at them.
She took the initiative to pull Xu Jingxi's sleeve instead: "Don't pay attention to them, we'll pick us up." ”
Xu Jingxi was not affected by the ridicule of the outside world in the slightest.
His elegant and indifferent face was as silent as the frost and snow in winter.
Xu Jingxi gently pulled away his sleeves, not used to being very cordial with others.
"Let's go, before class in the afternoon." He said lightly and took the lead.
Shen Ningning followed with her little feet.
Han Fuzi happened to come over to look for Shen Ningning, but when he saw that she was leaving, he raised his voice and shouted a few words, but Shen Ningning didn't hear it.
"Who knows what they did?" Han Fuzi asked.
Ye Shangyi hurriedly stepped forward to complain: "Master Han, hurry up and take care of it." ”
"The county lord of Funing took Xu Jingxi to pick up those cotton clothes and quilts that others didn't want."
When Han Fuzi heard this, he hurriedly stepped up and followed: "Really?" Then I have to go, I picked up something for nothing, why don't you. ”
The students around were dumbfounded.
This Master Han, how can he have an idea with Shen Ningning?
The little guy and Xu Jingxi went out of the Guoxue Academy, bypassed two streets, and sure enough, they saw black things stuffed in the basket around the corner.
Xu Jingxi stepped forward and poured out the basket, all of which were dirty quilts and cotton cloths.
Shen Ningning squatted down and pulled it twice with his little hand: "It's a pity, it's so thick, I threw it directly, and it got dirty." ”
However, Xu Jingxi saw it next to her, and said in a flat voice: "It's okay, it's clean after washing." ”
He pulled the basket and refolded the cotton cloth and quilt and put it in.
The two of them were like homeless little pitifuls, turning over straw baskets on every street corner.
Fortunately, it has been fruitful.
A total of six quilts, ten large cotton clothes, and three pairs of cotton shoes were found.
As luck would have it, I also got half a bearskin, and I don't know where the other half went.
Xu Jingxi and Shen Ningning squatted in the corner, and a little dust was rubbed on their fair faces.
At this moment, Xu Jingxi took two straw baskets and divided the supplies.
"The quilt and the big cotton coat are half per person, you have two pairs of cotton shoes, I will keep one pair, this bear skin ......" He paused and stuffed it into Shen Ningning's basket: "Give it to you too." ”
Shen Ningning squatted in front of him, like a cute little mushroom.
"You don't need so much, you can give me two quilts and three big cotton clothes, and I don't need shoes."
She has bought a lot, and there are more than 100 items in stock at home.
Now Shen Ningning lacks firewood and firewood stacks the most, but there are countless woods in the fairyland.
It's just a hassle to cut.
Therefore, she would rather collect more now, and when the time comes, it will not be enough, and then go to the fairyland to cut wood.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of the venison restaurant next to him came out.
I saw two small children squatting in the corner, dividing things.
He suddenly sighed: "Poor thing, how can you pick things up here." ”
"It's too cold, you brothers and sisters come in with me and have a cup of hot tea."
