The eldest lady is soft and soft, but the surly prince dotes on her openly and secretly.

"Have you already worked so hard to break up the relationship with me? How could I still chase you and tell my father that the matter of privately distributing food to the victims has something to do with me? Isn't it in vain that all your hard work has been done? "

Obviously, all Gu Jingming's words were sarcastic, but they were not unreasonable.

Yu Jinhe watched her leave, and then took Ada, who had been silent, to the north of the city. On the way, she obviously felt that Ada's nerves were a little tense, so she couldn't help but comfort her, "It's okay. King Jing didn't say it openly, but this matter must have happened." Standing beside us.”

"Master, you are Princess Jing. Will you give up Qianmen and live with Prince Jing one day?" Ada looked complicated.

"Ah?" Yu Jinhe didn't expect him to ask this at all, "What?"

Ada lowered his head, looking a little lost for some reason, "It's nothing."

Yu Jinhe found it funny, "What are you thinking? If one day I really lose my mind and want to get married, I won't choose this kind of person. Besides, if I meet the right person, I won't be able to leave myself behind." I don’t want the country I conquered. Either take care of both, or choose Qianmen.”

The usual honest smile appeared on Ada's face again, "Ah, that's it."

Yu Jinhe always felt that his manner of speaking was strange. He couldn't tell what was strange about it, so he scratched his cheek and stopped thinking about it.

When they arrived in the north of the city, Yu Jinhe saw Zhangji's rice shop. Several people stood in front of Zhangji's rice shop, and they were all silent for a while.

This rice shop is very small and crowded. The shopkeeper inside is swatting flies and putting out a few bags of rice here and there. Those who don’t know better think that he is drying the rice instead of selling it. Judging from the look of the shopkeeper, he seems to care about them. The arrival was not welcoming at all, and he said lazily, "What to buy?"

"King Jing asked me to come over and buy rice from you, but do you have anything to sell here?" Yu Jinhe said cautiously.

"King Jing? Haha, he is really shameless." The shopkeeper stood up immediately, shaking the cattail leaf fan in his hand so much that it almost turned out flowers, "Didn't he trick me a few days ago and buy it at a low price?" Ten shi meters, I don’t dare to do his business now.”

Yu Jinhe said helplessly, "We have money, so we have to see if you have rice."

"You have money? How much money do you have and how much rice do you want to buy?"

"There are probably eight hundred refugees outside the city. How much rice can eight hundred people eat?"

The shopkeeper did the math and said, "It costs ten stones anyway. How many days will it last?"

"It's as many days as you can eat."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "Then I have given you the entire rice shop. I really think I am Guanyin Bodhisattva. Everyone wants to save one, right? What can those refugees do to save? They are all so cruel." very."

Yu Jinhe thought for a moment and then asked, "How much does it cost to buy your rice shop?"

"5000 taels." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand with a look of arrogance on his face, obviously feeling that Yu Jinhe couldn't afford so much money.

"Oh, just right, no need to change." Yu Jinhe put the 5000 taels of silver notes he exchanged into his outstretched hand.

The shopkeeper's mouth opened wide, as if he couldn't believe it, "You gave me money without asking how much rice is in this rice shop?" "Although Gu Jingming is not a good person, he will not cheat people. I I still believe this." Yu Jinhe replied smoothly, "We will move all your rice away. Do you have a cart to pick it up?"

"There are carts, but do you really use 5000 taels to buy these things and then go to rescue the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city?" The shopkeeper stared at Yu Jinhe with a complicated expression.

"Can this still be false?" Yu Jinhe said with some confusion, "Of course it is true. Money is something outside the body."

"That's the case, but you...are those people really worth saving?"

Yu Jinhe tilted his head, "Why do you say that?"

"They are killing people, setting fires and robbing outside the city every day. If we save them for one day, we cannot save them for two days. After they have eaten, they may become more frustrated and courageous. It is better to just let them fend for themselves."

"If it wasn't because there was no food to eat, who would be willing to take risks? You can't kill a whole car of people with a stick. If one person robs, you think they are all robbers. When I just came here, I saw so many innocent children. , fragile woman?”

The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide, "Ah, now I understand why King Jing asked you to come here. You two are just like each other, and you both like to do these thankless things."

"What do you mean?" Yu Jinhe's eyebrows jumped.

"He also came over a few days ago and asked me to give some food to the refugees outside the city. He gave me a lot of money, but I didn't accept it. Today happened to be transporting rice into the city again. You are here again. He just predicts the date. "Yes." The shopkeeper spread his hands helplessly, "You all like to do this kind of self-motivating thing."

Yu Jinhe didn't care, "This money came from an improper way and it was not mine in the first place. Now I am using this ill-gotten wealth to do some meaningful things. I am not a bodhisattva. It's just a matter of merit and demerit."

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows slightly, "I think it's better not to talk about such a sensitive topic when we meet for the first time. However, after many people get ill-gotten wealth, they don't use it for business. Most of them I just want to satisfy my greed."

"Don't put me on such a high pedestal." Yu Jinhe said softly, "Just do it with a clear conscience. When it comes to the money in your own pocket, it's your own business how you want to use it. Just be responsible for the consequences."

The shopkeeper accepted the money without hesitation, and immediately called Yu Jinhe into the rice shop. He closed the door and walked into the backyard. He stepped on a stone beside the well. The stone dented automatically, and a corridor appeared, leading to In the bottomless dry well.

"Come in with me." The shopkeeper took out a fire note, blew it on it, and walked in front to lead the way.

The light of the flame was very weak, probably only enough for the two people in front to see the road. The air was blocked underground, and it would be extinguished from time to time, making the atmosphere a bit strange.

Yu Jinhe's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Did you hide the rice in here?"

"Yes, you are not a family member, so you don't know how short of rice there is in the capital. The price of rice has already gone up. If you weren't a friend of King Jing, I wouldn't sell it to you."

Yu Jinhe thought thoughtfully, "Is it because of the refugees?"

"Absolutely. After all, Qingzhou was our granary in Lingjiang. Now that we are fighting on that side, we have to rely on the north. There is a drought in the north, so not only the refugees outside the city, but also the people in the city have no food to eat."
