Chapter 89

Chapter 89
The only person in Zheng's mansion who is not so happy is the eldest princess. Suddenly there are more than a hundred people in the family, so how much food does this have to eat!
She knew that Zhou Di, the younger brother, would not be generous enough to allow these people to bring food.

The Zheng family is young and the temple is small. One must know that the total number of masters and servants of the Zheng family is about a hundred, but now there are twice as many strong men, how can she afford it!
But she also knew that now the Zheng family had to rely on these people to protect them, no matter how distressed they were, they had to take care of themselves.

The eldest princess sighed, turned around and went to the warehouse, took two strings of copper coins, thought for a while and took two silver ingots, and told everyone, "Let Qi Da personally go to the village in the village and hide us in the village. Bring back all the food."

Everyone Qi was surprised when they heard the words: "All brought back? Princess, it's too eye-catching to bring back so much food. It's easy to be missed."

The eldest princess came to her senses, changed her mind and said, "Then pull it several times in batches, enough to feed the people in the mansion for a month, and let Amu take a few escorts at night, it's safer."

She also gave everyone the money in her hand, and asked her to buy some clothes and bedding for the hundred or so people, and said: "The house is small, so let the people below squeeze in and get through these days."

Everyone smiled and praised, "It's a blessing to have a safe place to hide and save your life in this chaotic time. No one will pick this time to make trouble. Ma'am, you are kind-hearted, and you are worried that the servants will feel uncomfortable."

The eldest princess smiled, and continued to instruct: "Not many people know about the grain hidden in Zhuangzi. You ask Qi Da to hide the grain well. Don't reveal it. If you are caught by a thief, I'm afraid that not only the food will not be safe, but Zhuangzi will also lose it." The people above will also suffer. Then let him instruct the stewards of the Zhuangzi, if any family in the Zhuangzi has no rice to cook, they will help secretly, but don’t say anything."

"Ma'am, this servant has made a note of it and will let him deal with it properly."

Everyone Qi collected the money, and first went to the butler Qi who was in charge of the house.

The eldest princess returned to the inner room by herself, and sighed inwardly. The servants she bought just now reported that Xie Hui's rebels had entered Xuzhou this morning, and the price of food in Jiankang had doubled. Grain, buy enough for the people in the house to use for a month, we will wait and see what happens in the future.Now that so much money can only buy back less than half of the usual food, and there are so many people in the family, it can only move these food.

This is also thanks to her habit of hiding food since she was a child, otherwise the Zheng Mansion would really not be able to support these more than 200 people.

This habit of hers is also due to the fact that her family was really poor when she was a child, and she used to hide some food by chance, and take it out for emergency if the family ran out of food in the future.

Everyone in the house thinks that she is frugal, and her own daughter sometimes talks about digging and searching by herself, but they don't know that most of her money is used to stockpile food.

Zheng Shao, Zheng Ye and his son didn't pay attention to the trivial matters in the mansion, probably only Mrs. Zheng was the only one in the mansion who knew that she had this habit.

Mrs. Zheng has also experienced many troubled times, and there have been frequent natural disasters in the past few years. Mrs. Zheng thinks that the eldest princess has a good habit of hoarding food. She is not afraid of starvation. Her own body gives her turnover.

It's just that Mrs. Zheng doesn't know how much food the eldest princess has hidden. If she knows, she will be scared.

Steward Qi got the order and went straight to discuss with Amu.

At this time, Amu had just arranged the rotation of the [-] plays, and was dragged by Zheng Heng to his yard to talk to their brothers and sisters.

"Uncle Amu, do you know a man named Mingzhi?"

Zheng Heng thought for a long time but couldn't remember who Mingzhi was, but he was sure he had heard the name before.

Mingzhi?When Amu heard this name, he became thoughtful, obviously he had heard this name before.

At this time, the chief came in with Qi Qiaoji to report, "Your Majesty, Manager Qi is here to find Chief Mu."

Zheng Heng raised his head and ordered: "Just let your father come in and talk."

After saluting to everyone in the room, Chief Steward Qi said to Amu: "The eldest princess has ordered an errand, and ordered this old servant to come and borrow a few moves from Chief Mu."

Amu knew the rules, and got up to make arrangements without asking too much, Zheng Wei asked curiously: "What did mother order? I still need Buqu to escort me."

Butler Qi explained with a smile: "Now there are many people in the family. The eldest princess ordered the old slave to go to the village to collect some grain. Jiankang City is not stable. It is safer to have a trilogy escort."

Zheng Wei knew that if there was a war, food would be in short supply, and he was afraid it would be difficult to buy, so he said: "I have saved some money here, if you need it, you can use it first."

Steward Qi praised her gratifiedly after hearing the words: "The girl has grown up. After a while, the old slave will go to tell the eldest princess that the eldest princess must be happy."

Zheng Wei nodded, "Remember to remind mother to pay me back in the future!"

She was afraid that her mother could only get in and out.

Butler Qi smiled and saluted and left, and left with Amu.

When Amu walked outside the door, he suddenly remembered a person. He turned to Zheng Heng and said, "I remember someone whose name should be Mingzhi."

"Who is it?" Zheng Wei stood up and asked.

"It's Zhao Zhi, the head of the former six-state governor's guard." Amu replied.

"Where is he now?"

Zheng Wei asked again.

Amu wondered why Zheng Wei was so interested in this person, but still replied: "Missing!"

"disappeared?"

Zheng Wei was surprised when he heard this, how could a person disappear without any reason.

But before she had time to ask, Amu had already left.

Zheng Wei had no choice but to turn around and ask Zheng Heng: "Who was the former governor of the six states?"

She had never heard of the position before.

A strange smile appeared on Zheng Heng's face, Zheng Wei knew the origin of this matter, and urged him to speak quickly.

Zheng Heng became playful, and said with a malicious smile: "You are now a county lord with food, shouldn't you help your poor brother?"

As he spoke, he said pitifully, "I have lost any money in the past two months."

Zheng Wei pretended to turn up his sleeves, took advantage of Zheng Heng's inattention, grabbed his arm, and then pressed him to the ground with his backhand, and asked with a smile: "Brother, have you been here for a long time?" Are you thinking about my little silver taels?"

Zheng Heng was pressed to the ground, knowing that A-mei didn't use much strength in her hands, he didn't struggle, he just lamented: "Although you used to be a monkey, you were still delicate and soft at times, but now you have become a savage It's a wild cat, it depends on whether you marry or not in the future."

"That's just right. From now on, I will stay in the mansion and let my future sister-in-law take care of me!"

Zheng Wei went back without showing any weakness, then let go of Zheng Heng and sat back, taking a sip of the tea soup that was almost cold.

Zheng Heng frowned, took it back from her hand and asked Qiao Ji to bring a hot pot instead.

Zheng Wei pursed her lips and smiled, enjoying the elder brother's care comfortably, changed her posture and sat down with him, and continued, "I have a way to make money recently, you tell me about the governor of the six states, and I can take you together!"

"There is no way to make money in this troubled world. Didn't you deceive me again?"

Although Zheng Heng was not forgiving, he still told Zheng Wei about the governor of the six states, "Speaking of which, the last governor of the six states was from the previous dynasty, you will never guess who it is?"
