Chapter 94

But who ever thought that there has been no rain for a long time, and people have not yet reached the point where they have no water to drink, but many crops died of thirst.

Some people even get nothing.

Temporarily losing the source of livelihood is a trivial matter, but how will the people live without food for the second half of the year?
Shen Jiaojiao tapped his head with a pen, wondering if it was rusted.

"Fengchen, have you ever thought of digging some grain out of the hands of the aristocratic family? Or rich merchants, they must have a lot of surplus grain."

Facing her beating, he was indifferent and sighed softly.

"I've tried everything. Except for some people who want to please and send some food to their door, others will not spit out a single grain."

Fortunately, under his suppression, there has been no unreasonable increase in food prices in the market for the time being.

Those people were afraid that he would catch the handle and bring it all together, so they were very cautious, so that he couldn't find any loopholes.

Shen Jiaojiao put down the pen, tapped the table little by little with Yingrun's fingers, and said suddenly, "I have received a few invitations."

"Ok?"

He is aware of this, and many invitations are sent to Zhen Guo Mansion every day.

It's just that the current Zhen Guo Mansion is very low-key and rarely attends such occasions.

Apart from the fact that it is difficult to refuse invitations from important ministers around the emperor, Mrs. Shen would not bother to attend the banquet in the capital.

The higher the official position, the less likely a wife is to organize banquets. Not to mention the energy and effort involved, accidents are prone to occur during the banquet.

Therefore, Mrs. Shen seldom brought Shen Jiaojiao to the banquet, because she was afraid of any accidents.

As a result, the original owner's circle is very small, and her temper may be because of this.

Another point is that the original owner has not yet reached the age where he can enter and exit various banquet occasions at will.

The so-called banquet is nothing more than a blind date banquet in disguise.

The mistress is in charge of the eyes, and selects a few daughters-in-law who are close to each other from among the daughters.

If both parties are interested, a marriage will be completed soon.

Marriage girls are like random objects.

Maybe that's the case, Mrs. Shen doesn't like to blend into the circle of those ladies.

At the same time, he protected the original owner too well, so he was so careless.

"Among the recent invitations, the highest official position is the fourth grade, the invitation from Mrs. Lu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Recalling the invitations she received every day, since the soul wears, the highest ones she has received are those from the fourth-rank officials.

It can be seen that the Lu family loves to join in the fun, sending a post every now and then, each time it is a banquet for various reasons.

"Are you talking about the Lu family that is in the same faction as the fifth prince?" Qian Fengchen remembered too much information about the officials, and was a little uncertain for a while.

"Well, it's hard for Mrs. Lu to try so hard to build a red line for Mr. Lu."

She didn't intend to get involved, but now that the opportunity came to her door, what would she do if she didn't take advantage of it.

Seeing that Shen Jiaojiao mentioned Mr. Lu's slightly indignant expression, Qian Fengchen understood that she wanted to make trouble.

"The Lu family has sent two apologies, to save face."

He didn't intend to stop her small thoughts, but only reminded her to be gentle.

"The Lu family can raise such an eldest son who bullies others, but those who bully are orphans and widows. This kind of person will not know how to restrain himself if he doesn't deal with it."

He remembered the aggressive attitude of the eldest son Lu who helped the fifth prince towards her and Mrs. Shen that day, and how Mrs. Lu made things difficult for them at the palace banquet.

The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, how could she not remember the Lu family's grudge.

"You, you..." Qian Fengchen didn't intend to persuade her anymore, so let's just make trouble.

He was able to remember this little fourth-rank official from the Lu family because of the Lu family's stumbling for Shen Jiaojiao.
