Chapter 131 Chapter 130

"Old man, please stay."

Hulao retracted his foot that was about to step on the carriage.Turning around, he looked at the three people walking towards him.

Seeing the brocade clothes of those three people, one can tell at a glance that if they are not rich, they must be born extraordinary.

Hu Lao cupped his hands at the three of them, speaking politely. "I don't know what happened to the three nobles."

Hu Lao felt a little uneasy.

One must know that it is impossible for such a person to appear in their porridge shed.

The three walked in and stood in front of Tiger Elder.

Zhao Miao also cupped her hands. "Old man, did you build this porridge shed?"

Zhao Miao's words made Tiger Lao feel vigilant. "I don't know what advice this uncle has."

Seeing that the other party didn't answer her directly, Zhao Miao knew that the other party must be a cautious person.

"Old man, I see that you still provide food to the victims in today's world, and I admire you very much, so I came forward to say hello to you."

"Master, that's too serious." Mr. Hu didn't let his guard down because of his explanation.

Seeing that the other party didn't lower his guard at all because of his words, Zhao Miao frowned wearily. "To tell you the truth, the three of us are members of the imperial court. Were they here to learn about the disaster by order of the emperor?"

When the tiger heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and made a big gift. "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, so I don't know that the three are members of the government, and I hope to forgive my sins."

Zhao Miao nodded and gave Hu Lao a hand. "To be honest, we called the old man because we have something to ask."

"Please, sir."

"I wonder if the old man is from Liuheting?" Zhao Miao asked straight to the point.

When Mr. Hu heard this, he knew that the other party must have already understood it, so he didn't make a fool of himself. "The old man is the steward of Liuhe Court."

Zhao Miao nodded, giving a rare compliment. "Liuheting cares about the common people. I admire such a feat."

After finishing speaking, he arched his hands at Tiger Elder.

Hu Lao didn't dare to say anything, avoiding his big gift.

After Zhao Miao finished the salute, she stood still. "Not to hide from the steward, the weather is bad, the treasury is empty, and the grain in the warehouse is limited. Therefore, I want to ask the steward how much grain is left in his hand."

Hu Lao's heart sank, his face remained calm, and he asked in feigned surprise. "The officer means that he wants to buy food for our Liuheting?"

Zhao Miao was at a loss for words, but refused to give up. "Now that the national treasury is empty, we really can't spend so much money to buy food. Since Liuheting has done a great job in relieving the victims, why not hand over the food to the government and let us make overall arrangements."

Tiger Elder: ...

Hu Lao was speechless for a while, only thinking that the government could be more shameless.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Zhao Miao threw out the bait. "Of course, we won't let Liu He Ting lose in vain. If you are in charge, you can tell your boss that there are many things in this world that you may not even be able to buy with bank notes."

……

When Xia He got the news that Mr. Hu had ordered someone to deliver it to her after several rounds of work, he immediately gave up a letter and asked Xia Tingquan to go to Wang Shizi's mansion to deliver a letter to Steward Wang.

When Xia Tingquan came back, Steward Wang also wrote back a letter to Xia He.

Xia He opened the letter, and as soon as he saw the vigorous handwriting in the letter, he knew that the letter was written by Ye Jiu himself.

She read Ye Jiu's letter at a glance, then burned the letter to ashes.

Xia He personally sent another letter of divorce to Mr. Hu.

In the afternoon, Mr. Hu got Xia He's permission and went to the household department himself.

This time, Hu Lao met Zhao Miao in court clothes in the household department, and only then did he know that he was actually His Royal Highness King Rui.

Hu Lao immediately kneeled down to Zhao Miao neatly.

"Get up."

Zhao Miao asked Hu Lao to get up, showed him how to sit, and served hot tea.

"I don't know what your owner of Liuhe Court will say." Zhao Miao said.

Zhao Miao originally thought that with such a good opportunity from the government, the owner of Liuhe Court would definitely come to discuss it in person.

Unexpectedly, it was the manager of Liuhe Court who finally came.

Hu Lao stabilized his mind and tried his best to look normal. "What our boss means is that it is our Liuheting's honor to be able to cooperate with the government in disaster relief. We dare not make any demands. The food can be handed over to the government for overall arrangement. There are only two points. One is to ask the prince to ensure that all the grains are not bad. It was used on the victims of the disaster; the second is that Liuheting did not hide this from the prince, it is true that it wants to help the victims, but it also wants to win a good reputation for Liuheting?"

Zhao Miao took a deep look at Hulao, and not only did not dislike the request made by the owner of Liuheting, but admired him for the first point and appreciated the frankness of the second point.

"You go back and tell your masters that the first point is that the king will personally supervise to ensure that all the food is used for the victims; the second point is that the king can also promise that the disaster relief food provided by the government will be provided by Liuheting The slogan of the government must be the relief food provided by Liuheting." King Rui promised.

When Hu Lao heard this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He got up and bowed his hands respectfully. "That's it, Cao Min will go back and count the food, and wait for the prince to send someone to pick it up."

King Rui nodded in satisfaction, and asked Mr. Hu again. "Now, the old man can always tell me how much food Liuheting has in total now!"

Lao Hu nodded, dipped his fingers in the teacup in front of him, and wrote a number on the table.

When King Rui saw it, he stood up abruptly, and looked at Lao Hu with surprise. "What the old man wrote is true."

The old tiger nodded calmly. "My family's intention is to provide relief to the victims. Apart from leaving some food for our own consumption, we at Liuhe Family should spare no effort."

When Hu Lao said this, he was also very emotional. God knows that he was shocked when he found out that the young master and miss had so much food in their hands today.

"Good! Good! Good!" A rare smile appeared on King Rui's resolute face. "Go back and tell your boss that when the disaster relief is over, this king will definitely go to the emperor to ask Liuheting for a face."

When Hu Lao heard this, his face was full of joy. "In this way, Caomin will thank the prince for his kindness on behalf of my master."

When Hu Lao returned to Liuhe Court, Xia He and Xia Tingquan had been waiting there for a long time.

When the two of them heard Mr. Hu say that the old man they met before was actually King Rui, Xia He's expression was calm, while Xia Tingquan gave Xia He a weird look.

When Mr. Hu said that King Rui not only agreed to their two points, but also made a final promise, Xia He was only slightly surprised.

On the other hand, Xia Tingquan was really excited.

I saw him happily asking Hu Lao. "His Royal Highness Rui really said that?"

Hu Lao is also overjoyed. "Master, it is absolutely true, His Royal Highness King Rui really promised so."

King Rui's promise, Hu Lao is not worried at all.

You must know that this King Rui is the emperor's younger brother, and his conduct has always been rumored to be first-class among the people.

When Xia Tingquan heard it, he was so happy that he grabbed Xia He's arm. "Sister, what do you think King Rui would ask for Liu Heting to look like His Majesty the Emperor?"

Xia He tilted his head in silence for a moment, and spit out a word. "I guess it should be an imperial plaque."
