Unique and stunning, the black-bellied daughter-in-law controls the world

Chapter 106
When they returned to the restaurant, it was already nightfall.

Unlike the imperial capital, Ronghe County is a city that never sleeps. After nightfall, there are only two or three pedestrians on the street, and the street stalls have been taken away. The narrow streets are a little more lonely.

There are only a few dimly lit lanterns hanging on the wires between the attics to illuminate the path ahead.

Stepping into the restaurant, there was no one in the restaurant, and the second brother dozed off on the counter.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he woke up suddenly, cheered up, and greeted him with a smile: "You guys are finally back, sit down quickly, the food is still hot."

"Thank you." Li Yunqing thanked softly, the fire in the stove had probably been extinguished at this time, and they still left food for them.

The four of them sat down, the younger brother enthusiastically made tea, served the food, and finally wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "I heard that you were attacked, and the killer was caught in the county government?"

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Qiyu was already hungry, picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a mouthful of food, and replied indistinctly.

The others were naturally less talkative, so they ate quietly.

"Then you guys have something to complain about. Our Lord Cui won't ignore things that other county governors don't care about." The second brother seems to be a chatterbox, and it's probably too boring to look at the store alone. He found a stool at the table and sat down, and started to say, "I don't know if you come from other places, Mr. Cui is a good official. The people in Ronghe County love him very much. I heard that he was a general before. That... the general under the command of the Taiwei Lin Qi. In the end, he seemed to offend him and was demoted. Sigh, it must be the fault of the Taiwei. How could we adults do something wrong..."

Hearing this, the four of them were ashamed, the people here really have blind confidence in Cui Tingyu.

"Hey, little brother, are you right?" The second brother asked Xuanyuan Qiyu when he found that no one was paying attention to him.

Xuanyuan Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, yes, yes."

"I really hope that our Master Cui will make a comeback one day, but, in that case, he will no longer be Master Cui from Ronghe County, alas." The second brother sighed, feeling a little sad, and took it casually. He wiped the table with his handkerchief, and continued, "It's just that Mr. Cui has lost the arrogance of the past. He farms and reads every day. I guess that's it. That's good, and he can die in peace."

Li Yunqing's clear eyes moved slightly.

Have you lost your arrogance?

She didn't think that Cui Tingyu lived in seclusion here, it's just that no one helped him.

She has, Cui Tingyu will never forget Lin Qi's entrapment and the tragic death of his daughter.He would not let his grandson be bullied just like this in the Imperial Palace.

What's more, Cui Tingyu has the ambition to serve the country and protect the people.

It is impossible for him to stay here safely and securely for the rest of his life.

Li Yunqing slowly put down her chopsticks, and made a crisp sound on the table. In ancient times, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, but she didn't believe it. She came to Ronghe County in person, and she couldn't bring this Cui Tingyu back to Beijing.

After eating, the four of them went to rest.

Day two.

Ronghe County became lively early on, with endless shouts.

The four of Li Yunqing dressed neatly, had breakfast, and went to the street.

Walking on the street, I saw some people heading towards the county government.

Xuanyuan Qiyu grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle, what are these people doing?"

"You don't know?" the man asked in surprise.

"We are from out of town, so I ask uncle to enlighten me." Xuanyuan Qiyu scratched her head and said very modestly.

The man smiled plainly: "I'll tell you what I don't want to teach you. Not every place in Qin State is as smooth as our Ronghe County, and there are often hungry people coming from outside. Mr. Yin Cui of our county, every morning They will give porridge relief at the gate of the county government."

"Oh, thank you uncle." Xuanyuan Qiyu thanked him with a smile.

Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

"Let's go." Xuanyuan Qiyu strode ahead, looking at the gadgets on the street stall from time to time, having a great time playing.

In this way, after a while, several people arrived at the county government office.

I saw five or six large tables set up in front of the county yamen, with bowls and chopsticks and pots of porridge on the tables.

Behind the table were three or four police officers, scooping porridge for those who came to eat porridge one by one, and occasionally sprinkled some dried vegetables thoughtfully.

On the far left is a simple stove. Cui Tingyu is wearing an apron and holding a large spoon, stirring the white rice porridge, causing large clouds of water mist to rise up.

Cui Tingyu had sweat on his face, he wiped it casually with his sleeve, and continued cooking porridge.

A policeman was squatting in front of the stove, adding more firewood non-stop, his face was covered with ashes, and he didn't have the prestige of being a policeman at all, but they didn't complain at all.

In front of the table, there are hungry people and beggars in a big ostentation. They are all dressed in rags and unkempt. Looking at the clear porridge in front of them, they swallow their saliva, as if they have been hungry for a long time.

Those hungry people drank a bowl of porridge, but they still held their stomachs. They looked very hungry, and they just sat by powerlessly, not knowing what to do.

But seeing Cui Tingyu dressed in rough clothes, he knew that he must have used all his savings to help the people, but unfortunately it was not enough.

Li Yunqing squinted her cold eyes. Every year, the imperial court allocates millions of dollars to relieve the hungry people, but never a penny actually reaches the hands of the common people, and they are all secretly withheld layer by layer.

Cui Tingyu used his meager salary to help the people without reservation. It is really a clean stream in the Great Qin Dynasty, which is admirable.

Xuanyuan Ranli and Xuanyuan Qiyu frowned watching all this.

In the imperial palace and the imperial capital, what they saw was a group of extravagant people. Most of them appropriated the blood and sweat of the people and lived a life of wealth and wealth, but they never died of the people, and the fish and meat squeezed the people.

Such a gap will not disappear in this world, but it can be reduced.

Li Yunqing narrowed her eyes, looked at the two children, and suddenly said: "Don't you have a lot of bank notes, go to the street to buy some food, and help these common people."

Although it can be saved for a while, but not forever, it can let the two princes know that when they can help others, they should do their best.

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Qiyu responded bluntly, pulled up Xuanyuan Ranli's sleeves and walked down the street.

And Li Yunqing was standing under a tree not far away, looking at the long queue, still flocking hungry people, her eyes were filled with a layer of icy complexity.

Cao Ba simply jumped onto the tree, sat on the branch, and looked down coldly.

But he said those two teenagers.

"Dog slave, what do you think we should buy?" Xuanyuan Qiyu asked as he strode down the street with so many things that he didn't know how to choose.

Xuanyuan Ranli looked around with calm eyes: "Buy some steamed buns, steamed buns and flatbreads, which are easy to satisfy your hunger."

"That's right." Xuanyuan Qiyu walked to a place selling steamed buns, stretched his head to look at the fragrant food in the steamer, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these steamed buns?"

The steamed buns were sold by an aunt, who smiled kindly: "The buns cost two cents each, and the steamed buns cost one penny, how much do you want?"

As he said that, he took out a piece of butter paper and prepared to pack it for him.

Xuanyuan Qiyu rubbed her chin and thought for a while: "How many do you have here?"

"What?" The aunt was taken aback,
Xuanyuan Qiyu smiled and said, "I will buy as much as you make today, auntie."

The aunt stared in disbelief, almost thinking that she had heard it wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Young master, don't coax me, why are you buying so many steamed buns?"

She had never heard such startling words.

"Auntie knows that Master Cui is serving porridge at the gate of the county government office. Just help us move our things there." Xuanyuan Qiyu smiled, took out a bank note from his sleeve, and saw that it was printed with 10 taels. Can't help but be taken aback.

This... 10 taels, how many Wen is equal?

Forget it, take care of him.

Xuanyuan Qiyu directly threw a banknote on the table: "Here, money."

Hearing that Xuanyuan Qiyu had bought so much and was doing good deeds, the aunt burst into laughter, but when she saw the banknote, she was so frightened that she almost popped her eyes out: "Oh, young master, you are such a big banknote, auntie I can't find it."

Xuanyuan Qiyu frowned: "Then what should we do?"

He only had such bank notes on his body, and he carried them with him when he left the palace. How could he use the ten or so notes in his pocket in the future?

"This..." I thought it was a big deal, but at this moment, the aunt was in trouble.

Xuanyuan Qiyu looked at the whole street, there were quite a lot of places selling food, she thought for a while and said: "How about... I buy the whole Ronghe county's ready-made food and give them all to the hungry people. You will share the money equally. Bar."

Xuanyuan Qiyu's words were astonishing, even Xuanyuan Ranli stared, and then wiped his face speechlessly.

After hearing this, the aunt thought about it in embarrassment, but still wanted to make money, and said, "Well, young master, wait a moment, I'll go and discuss it with them."

In this small place, the merchants are all neighbors and know each other. This statement has been passed on from time to time, and everyone agrees.

You must know that 10 taels may be a small ticket that can be spent in the imperial capital in just a snap of the fingers, but in Ronghe County, it can buy an astronomical figure that can buy half of the city!

How could they not pick up such a big bargain?

then.

About a quarter of an hour later, an incomparably spectacular scene appeared in Ronghe County.

Countless food vendors stopped selling things, and moved all their food, like ants moving their houses, in a uniform manner towards the direction of the county government.

The delicious food was fragrant, and stacks were placed on the open space, attracting many people to watch. They wondered why so much food was put here.

Seeing such a magnificent scene, Li Yunqing was slightly taken aback, couldn't help rubbing the center of her brows with her fingers, and sighed faintly.

Such a "big hand" must be something that Xuanyuan Qiyu can do.
