Chapter 40 The Alley in the Afternoon

Shen Mingzhu's face turned red with anger, her chest heaved up and down.

What does this bastard say?When did she break her promise?

"Pfft...cough cough..." Ren Zilin pretended to cough for a while, suppressed his smile and said, "Since that's the case, Miss Shen Mingzhu, you should send the money to the yamen!"

Shen Mingzhu was extremely aggrieved, took a breath, and looked at Ren Zilin with an aggrieved expression: "Yes, my lord."

She knew that she looked like a man, and she couldn't help feeling pity for her when she saw it. She had tried everything before.

Ren Zilin couldn't help shivering, and quickly turned to Chu Tiankuo, "Master, let's go!"

This is a monster...

Shen Mingzhu: "."

Chu Tiankuo didn't move, pointed to the rice noodles on the ground and said, "Does Miss Shen still have rice noodles for cooking at home tonight?"

Xing Nong raised his eyebrows: "No."

Chu Tiankuo looked at Ren Zilin.

Ren Zilin clapped his hands!

Shen Mingzhu's eyelids twitched!

When Ren Zilin saw Chu Tiankuo's eyes, he immediately understood, and immediately said: "There is no food to cook, but it is a big deal, and people will starve to death. Miss Mingzhu, this happened because of your house. Your house happens to be next door. You let people Bring some food and oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar over here! It doesn’t need much, polished rice and white flour are fifty catties each, and oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar are enough! I’ll wait here.”

This kind of bullying, robbing the rich and helping the poor, he and Chu Tiankuo did a lot when they were young.

So when Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows, he knew what to do.

However, Chu Tiankuo hadn't been like this for a long time since the Marquis of Changping had all his family copied and beheaded, and the empress was deposed and thrown into limbo.

Shen Mingzhu: "."

So, what did she pay for the 120 taels?
Have you lost your loneliness?

Fifty catties of rice noodles to eat tonight, won't it be full?

Chu Tiankuo asked Xing Nong: "Is the delicacies of mountains and seas here tonight's dish?"

"Correct."

Ren Zilin: "You can't eat without food! The delicacies scattered all over the place look like they weigh a lot."

Turning to look at Shen Mingzhu, "Girl, your family is so rich, you should have these, right? Let's cook for Miss Shen with ten catties of everything!"

Shen Mingzhu: "."

My lord, do you have any misunderstanding about the definition of ten catties and eight catties?
Shen Mingzhu felt that she was about to be hurt internally by anger, and her heart ached.

She thinks that she has an alluring appearance, and men can't help but take a second look when they see her. She also knows that men will favor beautiful women.

Just now she purposely changed clothes in the carriage and dressed up a little bit. She didn't understand why the county magistrate and master seemed to be blind.

Seeing that she was not moving, Ren Zilin waved his hand: "Go! Hurry up, I'll wait here."

"."

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she managed to let herself be blessed and replied: "Yes, my lord."

Such a blessing made my butt hurt even more!
She endured the injury of her buttocks!
Shen Mingzhu left with the help of her maid, if she didn't leave again, she was afraid that she would die of anger.

Soon, Mrs. Yao personally led the people to bring the food and money over.Shen Mingzhu's butt hurts too much and she doesn't show up.

Knowing that Ren Zilin was waiting, [-] catties of polished rice, [-] catties of white noodles, and some seafood were delivered quickly. In addition, there were oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, fresh pork and vegetables, and even a set Brand new cutlery and tea set.

So much was given away, Yao Shi thought in his heart, not short of those few taels of silver.

It's better to directly impress the new county magistrate.

Anyway, she will always get these things back.

Yao Shi said to Gu Shi and Ren Zilin with a look of guilt: "My lord, no matter what you say about the second grandma, it is my family's fault. This is 120 taels of silver, and you can see if these things are enough to eat, not enough for me Let someone bring some more."

Gu wanted to refuse.

Xing Nong took the silver ticket and said calmly: "It's hard to buy something you love if it's damaged. How can it be possible? But for the sake of the county magistrate, let's forget it."

Yao Shi was choked for a moment, and his anger didn't go well!
What do you mean being cheap and being good?
I didn't find this wild species so difficult to deal with before.

Ren Zilin wanted to laugh, he coughed his throat: "Miss Shen said enough is enough! Well, this case is closed, you can go!"

Yao Shi: "."

I wanted to invite the county magistrate to drink tea at home, but Yao Shi still had a wink, so she blessed her and left.

After Yao shi left, calm returned to the narrow alley.

Mrs. Gu took a few children to salute Ren Zilin and thanked him: "Thank you sir and master for upholding justice for the women's family."

Ren Zilin helped Mrs. Gu, and said solemnly: "Madam, you are welcome. As a parent officer, it is my duty to ask for orders for the people."

He intends to do something big in this small county to impress his father.

Mrs. Gu looked at Xing Nong: "Xing Nong, send off your lord and master."

Xing Nong nodded: "My lord, master please."

Ren Zilin waved his hand: "No need, we can go by ourselves."

After all, he glanced at Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo nodded, and the two walked away.

Gu picked up a spatula on the ground, squatted down, and carefully scooped up the scattered white noodles.

Only by picking up these grains first, and then packing up other things, can these grains be recovered as much as possible.

White flour mixed with silt is almost inedible, but chickens are edible, and can be used to feed chickens after buying them.

Just pick up the polished rice and wash the sand before cooking.

Xingqing and Xinghui also bent down one after another.

Xing Nong also picked up a cotton bag on the ground and began to pick up the rice grains on the ground.

Chu Tiankuo glanced back, turned around and walked back.

Food was in short supply in the state of Chu, and many poor people were full and hungry.

Ren Zilin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to take a look, and saw a few people on the ground, dressed in shabby clothes, with patches everywhere, and they carefully shoveled up the white flour and polished rice mixed with sand on the ground.

With a serious look, it seems that those things on the ground are not white flour and polished rice mixed with silt, but gold.

Ren Zilin was about to say something, but when he saw this scene, he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Chu Tiankuo squatted down not far from Xing Nong, stretched out his hand, picked up the rice grains on the ground and threw them into the cotton bag.

A slender and beautiful hand broke into Xing Nong's sight, and she looked up at the owner of his hand.

The young man's facial features are deep and tough, and he is so handsome and handsome that it doesn't seem real.

He lowered his head, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, and under the bridge of his handsome nose was a sexy thin lip, which was slightly pursed, looking very indifferent and difficult to get along with.

The artist's hand picked up grains of white and crystal-clear rice and put them into the rice bag next to it. The round and white fingertips were stained with dirt, making them look even whiter.

Xing Nong picked up the rice grains absently.

Suddenly her wrist was gently held, a scorching warmth wrapped around her cold wrist through the clothes, and her heart trembled inexplicably.

"Be careful." A deep and cold voice rang in his ear.

Xing Nong lowered her head, and saw a beautiful hand picking up a piece of broken porcelain under her fingertips.

Chu Tiankuo let go of her hand, looked up and looked around, looking for objects containing broken porcelain pieces, he saw the wooden basin behind Xing Nong and said, "Bring the wooden basin here."

Xing Nong quickly regained consciousness, turned around and took the wooden basin: "Thank you."

Chu Tiankuo didn't say anything, he threw the broken porcelain pieces in, and then continued to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The two didn't speak any more, they lowered their heads, one picked up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and the other picked up the rice grains on the ground.

The other pines and cypresses also came back to their senses, quickly walked over, and squatted down.

Ren Zilin felt inexplicably sore and uncomfortable, he said to the yamen behind him: "Go over and help pick up the things."

Some of the yamen messengers, some of them from poor backgrounds, ran over immediately upon hearing the words.

Everyone squatted down to help pick up the rice grains on the ground.

In the alley in the afternoon, there are cicadas singing, a breeze, and a group of people silently picking up food.
