Chapter 69 Cunning, stingy!
"The servant has seen the princess."

Zeng Yan's arrival interrupted the mother and son's chat.

Xia Jing looked up at Zeng Yan, and noticed that he was followed by a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge.

"You are this?"

Zeng Yan introduced the middle-aged man behind him: "Princess, this is a steward of the Hou Mansion, named Cai Er."

"My little one pays respects to the concubine" Cai Er saluted.

"Get up." Xia Jing raised her hand to let him get up.

Under Xia Jing's gaze, Zeng Yan talked about the cause of the incident, "Hou's mansion ran out of food two days ago. It is not easy to buy food along the way. Every time they pass through towns, the food they buy is not enough for the people along the way. Two days later, the princess came to borrow food."

It turned out that Li Chengxian came to the housekeeper to borrow food two days ago, and the housekeeper asked King Qian for instructions to borrow food from the Hou Mansion for three days, enough for them to go to Lu County.

It's just that Li Chengxian is a loser, and the cook can take whatever food he has, and there is no limit to how much he can only consume every day.

In the end, it was almost time to go to Lu County, and there was no food for the lunch meal.

She was too embarrassed to come here, so she sent a steward to borrow it.

It's just that the Hou's team has integrated several families, and the number of people is quite large, and the daily food consumption is astonishing.

As for the team of Prince Qian's Mansion, because thousands of people were added behind them, although they got the bottom of a bandit den, there is still a long way to go. Who knows what will happen next?
Therefore, Zeng Yan did not dare to borrow the remaining food at will.

Today he took the steward of the Hou's mansion to find the prince, and the prince asked him to go to the husband.But the husband asked him to find the princess.

The ball was kicked back and forth, and Zeng Yan led Cai Er in a circle.

Xia Jing glanced at Cai Er, who kept her head down, and smiled lightly: "In a famine year, food is a life-saving talisman. It's not a problem that the Hou's government always borrows food like this. Although you can reach Lu County in the evening, but when you arrive in Lu County There must be a limited amount of food to buy, so even if the Hou Mansion buys food, they will still be short of food for the next section of the road."

"Of course, we and the Hou's family are in-laws. We should help each other." Xia Jing thought for a moment, "Butler, it's not difficult for everyone, butler, you can do this, we don't borrow food."

"Princess!" Cai Eryi was anxious.

Xia Jing pressed her hand, telling him not to worry, "You don't need to borrow food, but we sell it!"

"Sell?!"

Zeng Yan glanced at Xia Jing, his eyes lit up, and he understood what she meant, "Princess, what you mean is that we can sell food to the Hou's mansion so that everyone will not be embarrassed. We don’t have to worry about them starving because of the psychological pressure on them because of the life-saving food.”

Xia Jing nodded.

Zeng Yan's old face was wrinkled in an instant. The princess was still cunning and shrewd. The Hou family borrowed food from the Wang family.

In the future, the two families will be separated by thousands of miles, and it is impossible for the Hou Mansion to send some food to Lingnan.

Besides, how can the grain in a good harvest year be compared with the grain in a disaster year!
Both have different levels of preciousness!

There is still a long way to go for the Wangfu's team, and food is their confidence, so they must not give it to others for nothing.

It would be different if it was sold to the Hou Mansion at the current market price, at least they received the money.

There are many places where they spend money in Lingnan, and no amount of money is too little.

Cai Er looked at the legendary Princess Qian in surprise, never expecting her to come up with such a bad idea!

What a waste of money!

However, you can buy it with silver money, so you can pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other, and we owe nothing to anyone.

After hearing the results of Xia Jing's handling, the two gentlemen said that her idea was excellent, and the current palace needs such a stingy mistress.

When King Qian heard about this, he scolded Xia Jing: cunning!Stingy!

He held his forehead, feeling very headache, "Xia's behavior is so ignorant, from now on, this king will not be able to hold his head up in front of his in-laws, it really embarrasses my Li family members!"

Anu said something fair, "My lord, the current palace is at its most difficult time, and the concubine has considered all aspects and made the most appropriate solution. Who in the world doesn't want to be generous? But in the current situation, we can't afford to be generous. .”

King Qian was unconvinced and wanted to say a few more words, but he was immediately discouraged when he thought of living in Lingnan in the future.

In his heart, a frontier place like Lingnan is synonymous with arrogance, poverty, and backwardness.

For the rest of his life, he was also a barbarian.

Thinking of this, he felt that there was nothing to love in life! ——
Jiankang.

As soon as Yu Jia arrived in Jiankang City, the old emperor fell ill again.

When the streets of Jiankang were filled with the fragrance of cosmetic powder, the palace was filled with an unpleasant smell of medicine.

As the right-hand man of the old emperor, Zuo Servant Hua Shaojingang settled down at home, and hurriedly handed over the playbook and entered the palace.

Arriving at the old emperor's bedroom, after being notified, he was invited in.

"My lord, are you feeling better today?"

"Lao Pushe is thinking about it, rest for one night, it will be much better."

Emperor Huiyuan dragged his sick body and leaned against the head of the bed, while Dai Yi stood beside him and helped him gently follow his back.

Seeing that he seemed to be struggling to breathe, Hua Shaojin was really worried.

Emperor Huiyuan had been ill for such a long time, and his body was so thin that he lost his shape.

Judging from his face and complexion, one could tell at a glance that the end was approaching, but the old emperor himself didn't want to establish a reserve at this time, and no other ministers dared to touch his bad luck.

In other words, the ministers all have their own little calculations.

The emperor has clearly established a prince, so they have to accept it no matter whether it is their favorite prince or not.

But if the emperor does not have a crown prince, then all princes have hope.

In the end, whoever sits in that position depends on his own ability.

In the end, the ministers also wanted to fight.

Cheng, increase the official rank, protect the wife and son.If you are defeated, at most you will be beaten back to your original shape and reincarnated.

At the beginning of the troubled times, the people in the court were almost driven crazy.

Hua Shaojin asked with concern: "Your Majesty, have you eaten today?"

Emperor Huiyuan took a breath, "I have eaten, but I don't have much appetite, and it is difficult to digest after eating, and my stomach is bloated and uncomfortable."

Hua Shaojin felt a little heavy in his heart, "Your Majesty must weigh the dragon's body well, and tell the imperial physician if you feel uncomfortable. The country and society of the Dayu Dynasty cannot do without you."

Emperor Hui Yuan smiled wryly, and said weakly: "I am a sinner of the Yu Dynasty. I lost half of the country. When I died, I would have no face to meet my ancestors. The only thing I regret is that I cannot live to see the day when the country is unified. .”

Hua Shaojin was jealous, and really wanted to cry regardless of the injustice of this world, the hardships of this world, and his own life.

If the Great Yu Dynasty is destroyed during his tenure, then he will be infamous forever!
Being nailed to the pillar of shame by the descendants of later generations, I can't even tear it off!
Maybe the history books of later generations will write a special book, and finally write that he is a treacherous villain.

Hey!
His famous name!

Emperor Huiyuan didn't care about Hua Shaojin's mourning face, and asked curiously: "Why don't you ask me who I want to be crown prince?"

Hua Shaojin was so frightened by the sudden question that his breath became stagnant, and he blinked, "Your Majesty, do you have a suitable candidate in your mind?"

Emperor Huiyuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I'll think about it again."

Now, Hua Shaojin's mood is hard to calm down, leaving this suspense to him, he will not be able to calm down in the following days.
