Chapter 547 Donating food
"What do you know? She's from the capital. Should I find the right opportunity to find out about your cousin?"

Miss Zhao complained, "My cousin is living well in the palace, what's there to ask about? But just now, mother, did you see that? That was the son of Marquis Xuanping. The young general who became famous at a young age and led millions of troops on the battlefield."

How can a mother not understand her daughter? As soon as her daughter sticks out her butt, she knows what she is going to poop.

He couldn't help but raise his hand to pat his daughter's arm, and said sternly, "You are getting bolder and bolder. You dare to have wild thoughts about anyone."

"I warn you, don't even think about it, don't even glance at him. He's a very good young man, but he's not what you think."

"What's more, the prince has already chosen a princess consort. Didn't you hear what your father said? His princess consort is the top female official of the dynasty, Lady Yuhu of the Demon Suppression Department."

Miss Zhao curled her lips, as if she was showing some disdain and contempt, "Mother, can you see any girl from a good family following a man around after getting engaged?"

"Look at the prince. He goes into her room as if it's a daily routine. It's obvious that he does this often."

Miss Zhao snorted, "Flirtatious."

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but glare at her daughter and gently patted her arm, "Talk nonsense, talk nonsense, talk nonsense."

It didn't hurt at all. The girl just pretended to cry out in pain and shrank her arms, saying coquettishly, "Mom, please don't hit me. I won't tell you."

"My child, I have spoiled you too much. Your sisters and brothers would have arranged their marriages long ago when they were your age. But you are neither high nor low, and your vision is higher than anyone else's."

"I'm telling you, don't be disrespectful in front of others. If you embarrass your father, I don't think he will let you go."

Zhao Yueru pouted in disapproval, holding onto her mother's arm and muttering all the way, "Mother, do you think that Master Yuhu is so ugly that he can't face others? Is that why he avoids us?"

Her mother wanted to sew her daughter's mouth shut with a needle.

She and the master have taught this child a lot, but now he is becoming more and more unruly and has an incredibly narrow vision.

"Don't come to the luncheon tomorrow and embarrass your father."

Zhao Yueru was so flustered that she ran after her mother and apologized repeatedly, "Okay, okay, mother, I won't say anything nonsense, okay?"

Her father was going to host a banquet to entertain the son of Marquis Xuanping. How could she, the daughter of the Zhao family, not go? If she told others about it, she would be laughed at.

Here, Mu Zhao held Yu Linlang's hand and asked with a smile, "Are you going out tonight? I'll go with you."

His injuries were serious and he always wanted to go out and stretch his muscles, but unfortunately he was on the boat all the time and couldn't walk around.

Yu Linlang nodded, "Go fill up the two warehouses and donate them tomorrow."

It can only solve the immediate problem, but to completely overcome this famine, it depends on Lord Zhao to arrange for the victims to reclaim wasteland and continue farming.

Mu Zhao shook her hand and said, "Lord Zhao plans to invite us to a luncheon tomorrow. He said it will be just an ordinary family dinner and won't be extravagant."

Yu Linlang frowned slightly, thought about it and agreed, "It may take a day to take inventory of the supplies."

"No problem, let's talk about it after we're done."

The two of them had a simple meal, then climbed over the wall and left the government office after nightfall.

The two warehouses of the Pingjiang branch of the Chamber of Commerce are located in the east and the west, and are far apart.

By the time Yu Linlang had filled the two warehouses with grain and she and Mu Zhao had dodged several waves of patrolling soldiers and returned to the government office, it was already late at night.

After they went back to their rooms, Yu Linlang decided not to sleep and took out a bunch of Tianqing stones to practice and refresh herself. At dawn, she went to the front yamen to find Zhao Zilun. When she mentioned donating grain, Lord Zhao was surprised.

"Really?" Zhao Zilun laughed almost till his ears were wide open. "I'm looking for people to raise food everywhere, looking for officials and gentry who have a lot of surplus food at home, and wealthy families. I've collected some and am planning to distribute it to the victims outside the city."

"If it is true as Lord Yuhu said, and we can provide two warehouses of food, that would be a great kindness!"

Yu Linlang nodded. "These grains come from the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce. They are donated by the young master of the Chamber of Commerce. Send some people to go with my maid to register them and let my people review them."

"Then you will arrange for the grain storage office to calculate the amount of grain recorded in the book and prepare a manual. Record for me the amount of grain distributed and stored every day."

Yu Linlang glanced at Zhao Zilun and said coldly, "I'm going to tell you something in advance. If you dare to enrich yourself and seek benefits from this, and deduct the food rations of the people, I will take off your head and kick it like a ball. Do you understand?"

Zhao Zilun felt a chill on his neck and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely send someone to supervise strictly and will never let your kindness down."

Yu Linlang waved her hand, telling him to stop talking nonsense and quickly send more people to accompany Jiujinbaliang to the east and west warehouses.

After giving these instructions, Yu Linlang went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

It was not until noon that a maid invited her to the front hall for dinner.

Yu Linlang stood up and straightened her clothes, then opened the door and said expressionlessly, "I'll wait for the prince to go over together."

The little maid hurriedly lowered her head and replied, "The prince has already gone to the front hall. I came here specially to show you the way."

Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

If you said Mu Huaizhi was still sleeping, she would believe it a little. But if you said he had left her to eat, she would not believe it at all!

When the little girl was questioned by her, her voice stuttered a little, and she replied in a mosquito-like voice, "Yes, yes, please don't embarrass me, young lady."

Yu Linlang walked away, ignoring the little girl's panicked shouting behind her, "Hey girl, where are you going?"

Yu Linlang left her own courtyard and went next door to look for Mu Huaizhi.

When the little girl saw the direction she was going, she got angry and chased after her, stamping her feet and shouting, "Girl, you can't just walk around."

Why is this girl so weird? I can't understand what she is saying, but she is still rushing to the next door.

At the same time, Chang Qing was standing in front of the prince with a cold face and stretched out his hand, keeping the master and servant three feet away.

"There's no need to trouble you two. The Crown Prince has to go next door to look for the Crown Princess. Let's go together."

Zhao Yueru's maid followed behind her mistress, swallowing her saliva in embarrassment, and tugged at her sleeve slightly, signaling her to leave quickly.

Zhao Yueru looked calm as usual, trying to find a way out. "You may not know, my lord, that Miss Yu has been taken to the front hall. We came here on purpose..."

"Huaizhi." Miss Yu, who was led to the front hall, flew past them like a gust of wind, like a butterfly flying through the woods, carrying a wisp of fragrant wind.

The moment Zhao Yueru blinked, she saw the girl throw herself lightly into the prince's arms.

The prince reached out to catch her and stared at the girl with a smile in his eyes.

"Let's go out to eat."

"it is good."
