I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 554 Hot Potatoes
Ning Pengpeng wanted to reach out and touch the top of the opponent's head like before.

However, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"His Royal Highness, the etiquette cannot be discarded.

Also, the minister's wife dare not be a grandmother. "

Ning Pengpeng calmed down and said to Zhao Jingrui solemnly.

After all, if rumors spread that she, an old woman from the country, used to be the grandmother of His Royal Highness, it would not be a good thing for His Royal Highness.

Zhao Jingrui froze when he heard Ning Pengpeng's words.

He has been smart since he was a child, so he naturally understands what Ning Pengpeng said.

While feeling uncomfortable in my heart, I couldn't help feeling warm at the same time.

Grandma was still that grandmother, always hard-spoken and soft-hearted, for his own good.

After all, if Ning Pengpeng was more selfish, the Ning family would be able to walk sideways in the capital with his grandson calling her grandmother.

Zhao Jingrui withdrew the hand that was intended to help Ning Pengpeng get up, put his back behind his back, squeezed his fist hard, and then calmed down, said in a gentle voice.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Grandson."

Ning Pengpeng saluted respectfully, then got up, lowered her head halfway, and did not look directly at Zhao Jingrui.

"You... the Lord of Shouning County came to Beijing all the way, are you okay?"

As expected of being a member of the royal family, Zhao Jingrui quickly stabilized his emotions.

"Going back to His Highness Taisun, everything is fine with my wife, and the family is also fine.

However, when the minister's wife came to Beijing, she passed by Namuyuan County, and was entrusted by the county magistrate of Muyuan County to send to His Majesty the accounts of local corruption and bribery that he had investigated over the years.

In addition, Luo'an County, not far from the capital, was flooded and the entire Luo'an County was submerged.

Although the county magistrate of Luo'an County has evacuated the common people.

However, those domestic animals must not be taken away in time, and the minister's wife was worried that after the flood, there might be an epidemic.

I hope His Royal Highness Taisun should make plans early. "

After Ning Pengpeng replied to Zhao Jingrui's questioning, she told him all the main things about her coming to see him this time.

Zhao Jingrui was very happy to see his grandmother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

But after hearing Ning Pengpeng's words, and seeing the ledgers she presented, after a little flipping through, he became furious.

In Pingyao Fucheng, officials from top to bottom are actually colluding, and there is no one who is not greedy.

And why didn't Futai in Luo'an County and Qingzhou Prefecture report the flood?
Next, how many state capitals did they hide from the court or from themselves?

"Thank you, Lord Shouning County, for rushing all the way to escort these ledgers to the capital. Gu will definitely investigate and find out."

Zhao Jingrui pursed his lips and assured Ning Pengpeng.

When Ning Pengpeng told His Royal Highness the matter, he felt like a big rock had been lifted from his shoulders, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Because I know that if she tells these two things, His Royal Highness must be busy.

Therefore, she quickly took her leave and left the mansion of His Highness the Grandson.

"Go and investigate, if it's true, don't let a single one go.

If there is any resistance, it will be killed on the spot. "

Zhao Jingrui recruited someone, and gritted his teeth with an angry face.

"Yes."

The subordinates responded.

The serving eunuch came in and replied softly.

"Your Highness, the Lord of Shouning County has left!"

"I sent someone there. If anyone finds trouble with the Ning Mansion, remember to report it in time."

Hearing His Highness Taisun's words, the serving eunuch's heart skipped a beat. He was very fortunate that he didn't look down on others just now.

It seems that this Shouning county lord has won the heart of His Royal Highness the Grandson.

"Besides, go and ask Mr. to come to the house for a briefing."

If the matter of Pingyao Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion is true, the court may be in turmoil.

For the current plan, in addition to sending people to investigate these things, he has to discuss with his husband how to get these corrupt officials to be punished honestly.

His Royal Highness Taisun sent someone to invite Pei Yan, and Pei Yan came very quickly.

"I'm afraid I have to ask General Feng to go out."

After hearing what His Royal Highness said, Pei Yan frowned, and then said.

Zhao Jingrui couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

In fact, he was still grateful to General Feng in his heart.

It's just that there are too many people facing the Feng family in the court.

If the Feng family is allowed to dominate, even after he ascends the throne, he will probably be under control.

At that time, he will definitely be on the opposite side with General Feng, which is definitely not what he wants to see.

"The minister understands what His Highness is worried about.

It's just that there is really no one available in the court today. "

If there are other matters, some neutral people can be sent there.

But these two things, no matter which one they are, are not suitable for those who are worried.

At least for now, General Feng's loyalty to His Highness can be learned.

Zhao Jingrui naturally knew what Pei Yan said.

After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

If these two things are done well by General Feng, how to reward them will become a difficult problem.

Ning Pengpeng didn't know that he had thrown a hot potato to His Highness the Grandson, and after he came out of His Highness the Grandson's mansion, he let the carriage go directly to his pearl shop.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Boss Ning greeting the guests.

Seeing her coming, he was about to say hello when Ning Pengpeng shook his hand, signaling him to entertain the guests first, and then he started to stroll around the shop.

The decoration of the pearl shops in the capital here is obviously much better than those in Mingzhou and Nanyue.

Naturally, there are many noble ladies who come and go.

Ning Pengpeng looked at the waiter in the shop, he was so busy that he was a bit powerless to entertain people.

But if you recruit more people, it will not be worth the loss.

Ning Pengpeng observed how well a cup of tea was made, and then Boss Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and came over to greet his mother to go upstairs.

"The service in our shop seems to be unable to keep up!"

After entering the private room, before sitting down, Ning Pengpeng said sharply.

"Mother, my son really can't help it.

Or, how about recruiting some more people? "

Boss Ning came over with a teapot, poured a cup of tea for Ning Pengpeng, put it in front of her, and asked cautiously.

After hearing this, Ning Pengpeng shook his head.

"Although the flow of people is indeed much higher than that of Mingzhou and Nanyue.

However, it was not enough to recruit extra people to the shop.

Moreover, there are too many waitresses in the shop, and there will be too many people talking, it seems that our shop is too noisy, it is too low-grade. "

Hearing that his proposal was denied, Boss Ning's face suddenly twisted into a bitter gourd.

"Although people don't need to be recruited, there are other ways how to receive those guests."

Ning Pengpeng took a sip from the teacup, put it down with some disgust, and said to Boss Ning.

"Another way?

Mom, what else can I do? "

Boss Ning was a little puzzled. If he didn't recruit people, what other way could he make so many customers feel at home?

However, there must be a reason for what my mother said.

So, he was all ears.
