After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Since the steward also arranged for their family to pick lychees, it means that there is support behind their family.

Just like that, cheating on his eggs, huh, this is an unforgivable crime!
When Mrs. Li heard Zhou Shitang praising someone, she looked over curiously. Then she saw Aunt Fang's fat body, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

What kind of aesthetics is Tangtang? How can such a fat person be so beautiful?
Guan Cunxin said angrily: "Okay, come with me."

This place is very big. When they are not working, they are required to move around in that small area. When they are working, they will be taken to the outer areas.

There are several mountains covered with various trees, including lychee trees, longan trees, mango trees, and many pine trees.

Guan Cunxin personally led a group of them to the area where the lychee trees were located. It was June and the lychees were ripe and ready to be picked and sold.

Many local families have planted various fruit trees. There are many lychees, and the local prices are relatively cheap. Many merchants come to buy lychees at low prices and sell them elsewhere at high prices.

Lychees are not easy to preserve and are not suitable for long-distance transportation. They will go bad in a few days. Merchants usually transport the lychees to surrounding counties and counties and sell them before they go bad. The price is several times or even dozens of times higher than the local price. The merchants make a profit .

The capital is very far from Lingnan, and the transportation is inconvenient. It is difficult for the nobles in the capital to get a bite of lychees. Only the imperial palace has a little bit of lychees, and ministers who have a good relationship with the emperor can get a little bit of lychees.

Zhou Shitang only ate a few lychees in the capital, and she couldn't get enough of them. Now she can see the large lychee trees soon. She is so hungry and wants to eat.

She quietly raised her eyes and saw Guan Cunxin leading the way. They were all behind. She quietly sneaked to Aunt Fang and asked, "Auntie, are your lychees ripe?"

Aunt Fang shook her head, "No, some lychees ripen early, but my lychees ripen later. I estimate there is still half a month left."

Zhou Shitang looked disappointed.

He Huairong listened to the conversation between the two without missing a word, and looked at Zhou Shitang coldly, "What? You still want to buy my lychees?"

Zhou Shitang didn't know He Huairong. When he saw him walking next to Aunt Fang, he was about the same age as Aunt Fang. He guessed that he was the husband of Aunt Fang. But why did this uncle look so coldly towards her?
However, she is still self-aware of herself. It is impossible for everyone to like her. There are many people who hate her. Aren't some noble ladies in the capital jealous of her and always looking for trouble?

People who don't like to go out are targeted inexplicably.

Zhou Shitang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Yes, I can buy it with money."

Humph, he is indeed rich.

He Huairong said angrily: "Since your family is rich, why did you trick my mother-in-law into exchanging medicinal materials for eggs with you?"

Aunt Fang suddenly felt guilty.

She was scolded by her husband at first.

Hearing this, Zhou Shitang finally understood why this uncle disliked her, "Uncle, those medicinal materials are quite useful. I'm not lying, I'm just telling the truth. Auntie and I are in equal exchange."

"It's not that I didn't want to use money to buy it at the beginning, it's just that my family was really poor at that time. We were so poor that we almost starved to death. Didn't we have to use some medicinal materials in exchange?"

He Huairong snorted again. His mother-in-law agreed to exchange eggs, so he couldn't do anything to her.

Zhou Yancheng saw his little girl slipping away to another place, so he quietly followed her and protected Zhou Shitang.

When He Huairong saw Zhou Yancheng, he guessed that he was the little girl's father. Hum, if he really wanted to beat someone up, how could the other person's withered figure be able to resist him?
He is blessed with a good figure and his mother-in-law loves his body.Zhou Shitang felt warm in her heart when she saw her own father following him worriedly. He never had to say how good he was to her, he always proved it with his actions. She didn't leave the team for too long, so she pulled Zhou Yancheng back.

Zhou Shimu wanted to follow just now, but was stopped by his father. A group of people were sneaking around like saying something. At this time, he saw their father and daughter coming back and asked, "Where have you been?"

Zhou Shitang looked pityful, "I asked my aunt if her lychees were ripe, and she said they won't be ripe until half a month."

When she sees lychees later, she will definitely drool. How about secretly eating a few?I don’t know if those lychees are for sale.There are too many people here. If you find a chance, ask the steward. It would be great if you could buy some.

Zhou Shimu: "How much does it cost per pound?"

Zhou Shitang said quietly: "I haven't asked yet, but there is an uncle watching me. I'm afraid he will say a very high price."

The group of people were talking quietly on the road, and Guan Cunxin didn't stop them. There were so many people opening their mouths to talk, but he alone couldn't stop them. As long as he didn't do anything excessive to affect his official career, he generally didn't bother to care what others did.

After walking for about a stick of incense, going east and west, passing through various paths, the group finally arrived at the lychee forest.

Zhou Shitang looked up and saw lychee trees with bright red and plump lychees dotted on them. Her eyes turned red when she saw them!

litchi!So many lychees!
suck-

Zhou Shitang heard a lot of swallowing sounds.

Others' eyes were also red.

Guan Cunxin stared at everyone's expressions and said coldly: "You are responsible for picking all the lychees here, and you are not allowed to eat them secretly, otherwise you will not be able to get food this month!"

A group of people agreed that the government would distribute some food to them every month. It was not delicious and they could barely fill their stomachs. If they were not given some food, even if they had money, they would not be able to go out and buy food. Then you will be hungry.

They have experience. They are assigned to pick lychees every year at this time, and they also eat them secretly without being discovered. If they are discovered, the steward will really deduct a lot of food from them.

Zhou Shitang couldn't find a chance to talk to Guan Cunxin alone, so he sneaked up to him and said directly, "Sir, can we buy some lychees back?"

Guan Cunxin recognized that this was the relative Wu Xiaolangjun wanted to protect, and did not continue to look coldly, "As long as you can afford the price, you can buy as much as you want."

Zhou Shitang was delighted, "How much does it cost per pound?"

Guan Cunxin did not deliberately embarrass the little girl, and said gently: "Ten taels of silver per catty."

Zhou Shitang: "!!!"

The joy on her face had not faded when she heard the sad news.

What kind of sky-high price is this lychee!
Wu Yongwei asked her to cook two meals, and each time he stuffed ten taels of silver into the package. The total was only 20 taels. Yesterday, he spent several taels of silver on various things.

She thought that this little money could last for a while. She knew that lychees were expensive, but this was a local country. Are local lychees also so expensive?Are you sure the steward is not trying to trick her?
Ordinary people only earn one or two taels of silver throughout the year.
