Chapter 282: Food Shortage

Ming Qin reprimanded Zhong Acui and the others, thinking that as soon as she came to Shen Conglong to tell the truth, she would definitely attract a wave of Xingshi questioning. Who knew that after waiting for two days, the whole house was unexpectedly safe, and a turmoil seemed to disappear into nothingness.

Zhen'er and Ling Bo stayed in Huxinju to take care of Ming Qin's daily life, and a little gossip was inevitable in this anger, so Ming Qin came to make a plan, preferring others to see it as jealousy.

In the past, Bai Lotian had a concubine, and said proudly, 'Cherry Fan Sukou, willow small waist'. These two sentences are also appropriate to describe Zhen Er and Ling Bo, the two girls can sing and dance, are versatile and artistic, and they really feel like a spring breeze when they get along.

On this day, the three of them were hiding in Huxinju to talk about some poetry, and an uninvited guest came from outside the door, and he slammed two on the door, and said: "Qi Yu Gongzi, I have something important to tell you." ”

"Come in. ”

Ming Qin answered lazily, and Ling Bo quickly stepped forward to open the door. He leaned on a soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, Zhen Er wore a moon-white gauze skirt, sat next to the bookcase opposite, supported his chin with one hand, and turned the book absentmindedly.

The person who came was a neatly dressed young woman, Ming Qin recognized her as Zou Ruyan's deputy envoy Wan Ruchun, since she had beaten Zhong Acui, Zou Ruyan probably felt very embarrassed, and she finally stopped dangling in front of her in the past two days.

"Childe, the humble post sent someone to the holy treasury today to receive grain and rice, and came back to report to me that the steward over there thought that the king of the east had passed away, and his income had been suspended, and the prince was not serving in the sect, so he refused to distribute it. ”

Ming Qin laughed when he heard this, knowing that this must be instructed by someone to make things difficult, and the leaders of the Divine Sect have a certain amount of grain and rice, a certain amount of pork, a certain amount of eggs, a certain amount of sugar, and a certain amount of soybeans every month, and there are differences according to their positions, etc., which has become a regulation. There are thousands of servants in the East Palace, and the quota is naturally very large. As the saying goes, 'if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home', if there is no food to eat in the whole house, he, the master of the free house, will not be able to sit down.

"What did Envoy Zou say?"

"The envoy was summoned back to the Holy Father's Mansion to attend to the funeral, and he did not contact her. ”

Ming Qin put on it and asked casually, "How many days can the grain and rice in the house last?"

Wan Ruchun replied: "There are thousands of men and women in the mansion, and the daily expenses are not rich, and there are only dozens of stones and rice left in the grain house, so I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for three or five days." ”

Ming Qin paced back and forth for two steps, and said with a smile: "Since Special Envoy Zou handed over the affairs of the palace to the deputy envoy to take care of, he must know people well. My son is not familiar with the rules in the church, and I hope that the deputy envoy can help and give me more advice. ”

"Don't dare. Wan Ruchun was embarrassed and said: "The lowly should do his best, but the holy treasury insists on refusing it, and the lowly people are soft-spoken, so there is really nothing to do?"

Ming Qin said unhappily: "People are soft-spoken, then what do I want you for?" ”

Wan Ruchun secretly slandered himself, and said in his heart that you offended King Shen Bei for this matter. Zou Ruyan sneaked back to the Holy Prince's Mansion to hide, what can I do.

"If Childe can ask Madame to give an order, presumably the Holy Treasury will not dare to disobey. ”

Ming Qin was noncommittal, waved his hand and said, "You go down." You have to keep your mouth shut about this, if you let my son hear the slightest rumor, I can only ask you. ”

"I don't dare. Seeing his stern attitude, the deputy envoy hurriedly took care of what to do.

This matter seems to be insignificant, but it is enough to kill people in a big way, and if thousands of people in the house know that it is difficult to continue the grain and rice, then people's minds will inevitably change, and it is difficult to predict whether someone will take risks. Although he could find Fan Xiaoluan to give an order, if the steward of the Holy Treasury was delayed for ten days and a half months, he would have to make trouble here.

"Childe, is there a reduction in today's meal?" the deputy envoy asked hesitantly.

"No, you can't. ”

Ming Qin smiled bitterly in his heart, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and reducing the amount of food will not only help, but will aggravate the doubts of others, so that gossip can get in.

"Everything is provided as usual, you don't have to be too nervous, this matter has his own opinion. ”

"Yes. The deputy envoy knew that the situation was serious, and when he saw Ming Qin looking like he was holding a wisdom bead, he secretly felt funny.

............

When the deputy envoy bowed and retreated, Ming Qin sighed, approached the Yaoqin in front of the window, plucked it a few times, and said with emotion: "Zi is afraid of Kuang, the dish is Chen Cai, and the sage is solid?"

Zhen Er and Ling Bo looked at each other, looking very worried. Zhen Er silently pulled off her hairpin, took off her bracelet, and said with a forced smile: "Childe don't worry, Zhen Er and her sisters have some gold and jade pearls, and they can sell some of them in the market, and they can also temporarily solve their urgent needs." ”

When Ling Bo heard this, he also did the same, and freed the jade Mingjue. In fact, before the arrival of Ming Qin, Zou Ruyan led the female guards of the burning qin to raid the Dongwang Mansion, and all the gold and jade treasures were carried to the Holy Prince's Mansion.

Seeing the two girls looking sad and compassionate, Ming Qin shook his head and smiled: "Why is this so." I'm just laughing at these people and thinking they're getting a plan. Doesn't this son have a way to make money?"

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the bookcase, took out a piece of rice paper, and unfolded it flat, and thought for a while, "Which of you two can paint?"

The two girls were confused when they heard this, and Ling Bo said: "Zhen'er is a good hand, but the holy treasury refuses to send food, it is obvious that the king of Shenbei resents Gongzi for ruining his idea, and Gongzi wants to make a few calligraphy and paintings to sell it?"

"You know what I'm going to do?"

Ming Qin smiled slightly, I heard that although all creatures like vassal elegance, they hate people with outstanding intelligence and want to sell calligraphy and paintings on Zhenming Island, it is better to wait for starvation to death to save trouble.

"Since Zhen'er has this means, I won't be ugly. I have an idea here, you can help me draw it. ”

"But according to the child's orders. ”

The two women are both ice and snow smart, and they want to see what Ming Qin's idea is, so they don't ask in depth, and the three of them are busy around the desk for more than an hour, before Ming Qin gets rid of the ink on the calligraphy and painting and rolls it up, and hurriedly says: "I want to go to the Holy Prince's Mansion to meet Mrs., you two had better not move around at will, burning the qin and Weiyang are against the yin, and they may not be reliable at critical times." ”

"Zhen Er (Ling Bo) understands. ”

The two daughters sent Mingqin out of the Huxin Residence, and their eyes were in a trance, very melancholy and reluctant.

"Let's go back. ”

Ming Qin couldn't cry or laugh, the two women were not very old, they were not deeply involved in the world, and they had a sincere attitude towards people, which was very easy to make people feel good.

"Yes. ”

Zhen Er agreed softly, but her footsteps did not stop. Ling Bo was stunned for a moment, and then silently followed. There is a pavilion outside the lake house, and there is a chain bridge leading to the lake. The bridge is thin and not easy to walk.

"No need to send it. ”

As soon as Ming Qin made a stop on the bridge, the iron rope swayed back and forth. If the two women are sent across the bridge, it will not be very reassuring when they come back.

Zhen Er snorted, her lips pursed slightly, and her crystal eyes stared at him deeply without speaking.

Ming Qin turned around and took two steps, Zhen Er's sad look always lingered in his heart, and he couldn't help but look back. I saw Zhen Er and Ling Bo standing by the bridge holding hands and refusing to leave, thinking: "Shen Conglong's thief is not dead, if he finds out that I am not in the mansion, and sends someone over to forcibly seize it, no matter whether the burning qin guard is willing or unwilling to use his life, if he can't cover it, wouldn't it harm them." ”

With this in mind, we must take precautions. Ming Qin walked to the head of the bridge, reached out and grabbed the iron cable on the bridge, and between the spiritual power, a fire snake seemed to fly out of his palm, and the cold iron cable immediately broke inch by inch and sank into the lake.

Ming Qin clapped his hands, and then drove the divine thought to summon the 'Lei Wu urn golden vertebrae' out and disappeared to the bottom of the lake, this golden vertebrae was originally transformed by the demon spirit, quite spiritual, and there was a wisp of divine thought attached to him, if there were some wind and waves in the lake to deal with some shrimp soldiers and crabs, it would be enough.
