Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 163 I really like jewelry
"That's how it turns out." Li Jin nodded, "The royal guards have caused trouble for you again."

Li Jin was very embarrassed. Aunt Yang and his party were just kind enough to take him and Ling Feng in. They took care of the food and accommodation of their master and servants and didn't let them get thirsty or hungry.

Unexpectedly, after he found his personal guards, Aunt Yang would have to take care of his personal guards.

The personal guards came back to look for him and Ling Feng. They had brought enough dry food, but they had also run out of water.

The only remaining water bag was drugged by Prince Shu's chess piece and was wasted.

"It's fate that we met each other. Naturally, I will help if I can." Ke Muqing took the opportunity to advertise to his old friend who made a friend out of nothing.

"There is something I haven't told anyone else, but I see that you are a good person, Prince, so I tell you this. But after you hear this, please don't tell anyone else."

"I also think that King Chen cares about the people, and I can't bear to have King Chen take risks for the sake of the people and be used by people with evil intentions."

Li Jin thanked her hurriedly, "Thank you, aunt. My father often told us that in the peaceful and prosperous times, the people of Chen County paid taxes to support Prince Chen's Mansion. Now that there is a natural disaster, Prince Chen's Mansion cannot take the people's support and abandon the people." Regardless."

Ke Muqing nodded in agreement, "The people of Chen County are lucky to have a vassal king like your father."

"Well, let me tell you about my old friend's skills." Ke Muqing said, "He has a big business, but he is very casual. Chen County is short of food now. You might as well try to buy food from him, but he This man doesn’t like to use money in business, he likes to exchange things for things.”

"He really likes jewelry and jade ornaments, famous paintings and calligraphy, antiques, and rare flowers and plants. As long as you can come up with something he likes, he can come up with what you want."

Ke Muqing said, "Although I don't know how capable he is, I estimate that even if it requires hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain, it shouldn't be a problem."

Afraid that Li Jin would not believe it, Ke Muqing added, "His family has been in business for generations. When he came here, he liked to travel around the world when he was young. I think he has been to several places in neighboring countries. Their business connections are as ordinary as mine." The common people don’t know, but they have their own methods and methods.”

Li Jin and Ling Feng both had shocked faces.

After a while, Ling Feng turned to look at Li Jin and said, "No wonder the prince said that the prince is the one who attracts wealth. The prince, you do have some skills in your hands that ordinary people can't reach."

When I was a kid, I randomly dug out a gem.

When I grew up, I got lost in the mountains. With a wave of my hand, an aunt with such connections came to me.

"Thank you so much, ma'am! If we can really buy food, the people of Chen County will not have to worry!" Li Jin almost jumped up with joy and hugged Ke Muqing.

"But don't talk about this to anyone else. Your Majesty, you can decide what to say to the prince when the time comes. If the prince wants you to come see me again, then I will send a message to my old friend."

Ke Muqing thought for a while and added, "I think my old friend will love Chenjun's gems very much."

Li Jin's personal guards were right. Starting in the middle of the night, a strong wind blew outside. The gravel and pebbles were blown up by the hurricane and hit the windows. There was a crackling sound that woke up even the children who were good sleepers.

A group of children rubbed their eyes and sat up. Although they were curious about what it was like outside, no one dared to open the window or open the door to take a look.

It was the first time they encountered such bad and terrifying weather. A group of children were a little scared. They nestled in the arms of a few adults and stared at the window that could not let in even a ray of light.

Ke Muqing turned over, and Yang Shuangshuang, who was hiding in her bed, saw that she could still continue to sleep, so he asked, "Grandma, aren't you afraid?" "Are you afraid? Aren't the doors and windows all closed? We are hiding in the house and not going out. It'll be fine." Ke Muqing thought, as long as there wasn't a tornado, there was nothing to worry about.

If a tornado suddenly blows up, there is no point in worrying. The visibility outside is almost zero. How can people outrun the wind?

"If you really can't sleep, light the candles and read and write."

As soon as Ke Muqing finished speaking, Yang Shuangshuang immediately got back into bed.

"Grandma, I'm sleepy." Yang Shuangshuang said quickly.

When Yang Chengzhuo heard this, he immediately lay back and muttered, "Even if the strong wind sweeps me away, I will continue to sleep and let Chengzhi and my little aunt read."

Sure enough, this sentence is more useful than any lullaby for children who don't like to read.

Whoever says he can't sleep is also the one who falls asleep the fastest.

Because the doors and windows were closed, the people in the house had no idea whether it was dawn outside. They only knew that when they woke up, the wind outside was even stronger than at midnight last night.

Ke Muqing braved the strong wind and went out to the toilet to relieve himself. Only then did he understand the horror of the sky-blocking sky. The sky was filled with yellow sand. He didn't even dare to open his eyes. Even though his face was wrapped in clothes, the gravel hit his face. , can still make the skin on your face sting.

Ke Muqing basically touched every step he took with his hands. Fortunately, the toilet was not far away and he could reach it within a short walk. However, he bumped into the wall several times on his way back.

After returning to the house, Ke Muqing and the others spent a lot of effort to lock the door together.

There is no entertainment these days. There are candles in the house. Feng Ying and the other young women can still sit and sew and make some clothes while chatting about household chores. The children can play with their rocks for a whole day. Ke Muqing is really lying down. It was almost moldy on her bedding.

Everyone hid for two days and one night, until the evening of the next day. Ke Muqing couldn't sit still anymore when he heard the noise outside the window, so he opened the window and looked outside.

"Mom, the wind has calmed down. You can go out and walk around now." Li Jin and his bodyguard also came out of the house. "Look at the wind. This time the sand and dust wind should have passed. We can leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Speaking of this, Li Jin raised his head and looked at the sky, and said, "I don't know where the carrier pigeons released by aunt have flown. I wonder if my father and the others can see the carrier pigeons."

"Ji people have their own destiny. A good person like King Chen will definitely see homing pigeons." Yang Wenxiao answered the sentence at the side, then looked into the yard and exclaimed, "Mom, come and take a look! There is a thick layer of sand in the yard!”

As soon as they heard that they could go out, several children immediately cheered and urged Feng Ying to open the door for them.

As soon as the door opened, a group of children and monkeys came out like monkeys looking for the wind. It can be seen that not only the adults have been exhausted in the past two days, but the children are also going crazy.

"Grandma, come and play, the sand here is so fine." Yang Shuangshuang shouted to Ke Muqing.

Feng Ying laughed when she heard this, "You immature children like to play in the sand, but your grandma doesn't like to play."

Ke Muqing smiled and nodded, "I just want a hot drink right now."

Who doesn’t want a warm drink right now?
