After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 59 Black Heart
The carriage wandered all the way and turned into Chongyuanfang Street.

When the lanterns first came on, there were many small vendors on both sides of the street shouting and doing business.

When passing by the door of Chen Jimi's rice shop, I heard a burst of noise mixed with crying.

A woman fell to the ground with an empty rice bag and cried loudly, "It's really hard to live in these days! The price of rice has risen from seven cents a liter to nineteen cents, and now it has risen to Fifteen articles. It’s really forcing a living person to die!”

"I only earn 30 cents for a day's work at the dock. There are five mouths in the family crying for food. How can our family survive with the price of rice rising like this?"

"Yes, is Boss Chen here? It can't go up like this. The price of rice has doubled compared to three months ago! How can we deny people a way to survive?"

"Boss Chen, we want to see Boss Chen."

"How can my boss have time to see you?" The waiter took out a bamboo stick with "Fifteen cents per liter" written on it, inserted it into the rice bucket, and looked at everyone with his eyes raised, "Whether you want to buy it or not. But I am ugly. Earlier, our boss said that the price of rice will rise in ten days!"

"There is nothing we can do about it. There is a flood in Qingzhou, Qizhou, and the hungry people are still waiting outside our Weizhou mansion! There is no harvest in that area, and there is only so much rice on the market! The more rice is sold, the less it is sold out! Only three stones are sold today. Rice! If you don’t want to buy it, walk around and don’t block the road.”

"You can't buy rice anywhere else. Only our Chenji Rice Shop, an old brand in Weizhou City, has so much stored rice for you to choose from."

Yu Linlang opened the curtain and looked out, seeing a large group of people surrounding the door of Chen Ji's rice shop, crying and applauding.

Jiu Jin came over and gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Profiteers make it difficult for the country to make money."

"Let's go." Yu Linlang lowered her eyes and lowered the car curtain.

Chen Xinlian, the eldest lady of Chenji Mipu, walked over in this crowded place.

She waved the handkerchief in her hand and walked away gracefully in three steps, "What are you doing at the door? They are all crowded here, and they don't let anyone in."

The waiter immediately changed his face 180 degrees, walked forward with a flattering smile, lowered his head and said, "The eldest lady is here, eldest lady, please come in quickly. Walk around and don't block the way. Didn't you see that our eldest lady is here?" .”

"Hmph, they are a bunch of bumpkins, they have no money and are still here to be an eyesore." Chen Xinlian looked at the surrounding civilians with disdain, her eyes almost raised to the sky.

"Man, I only have thirteen cents. My child is dying. I just want to eat hot rice. Sell me a liter, just one liter!" At this time, a beggar rushed out of the crowd. The Xixi man bumped into Chen Xinlian's arm.

Chen Xinlian let out a sharp scream that seemed to make someone strangle their necks...

The girl next to him also screamed, and stepped forward to pat and rub his lady with a clean handkerchief, and cursed viciously, "Damn dad, damn mother, you are so blind when you walk like this? You are going to die!"

The beggar's eyes were red and he apologized repeatedly, but he refused to step back and still stubbornly wanted to go forward and buy rice.

"Go, go, go, go!" the clerk yelled angrily, "You blind bitch, how dare you hit our noble eldest daughter. Don't say you don't have enough money, even if you come here with millions of dollars, I, Chen Jimi, I won’t even sell you a grain of rice! Get lost!”

With red eyes, the man knelt down on the rough hard stone floor with a "bang" sound. He gritted his teeth and kowtowed three times in a row. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Miss, the grassman is a rough man. I have no intention of quarreling. Please forgive me." Me. My child is about to die of illness. Please sell me a liter of rice so that I can cook some hot rice for my child."

Chen Xinlian swiped the fragrant handkerchief in her hand, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her pretty little face, "We are a rice shop, not a charity. If you don't have enough money and you want to buy rice, why don't you go where it's cool! A bunch of rubes, they are so smelly and disgusting. ." Everyone around saw this dignified man kneeling in the street. Not only did he fail to win sympathy, but he even provoked such ridicule from Miss Chen, they couldn't help but point angrily at him.

When Miss Chen saw it, she became angry and reprimanded, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you drive them all away for me? We won't sell rice today and tomorrow! It's closing time, closing time."

"Yes, Miss!" The rice shop clerks rushed forward ferociously to drive away the crying people. They pushed and kicked the beggar man to the ground and punched and kicked him.

Jiujin returned to the house and was still angry about the price increase at Chenji Rice Shop.

"It's amazing that one family is so big. We should let our Su Ji Rice Shop spread all over the country to see if their Chen Ji Rice Shop is good or not."

"Didn't you go to the warehouse in the south of the city to see medicine and porridge? Why did you come back so angry?" Ba Liang finished packing the bed in the back room and walked out with a smile.

"Don't mention it. I'm really going to be pissed off by that Chen Ji Rice Shop. The price of rice has risen from seven cents to fifteen cents. If it's going to go up in ten days, it won't make people alive."

Ba Liang was surprised, "So high?"

"Yes! Tell me whether Chen Ji Rice Shop is black or not. I think they can change its name to Weizhou City's No. 1 Black Heart Rice Shop!"

"If it goes up again in ten days, wouldn't it cost sixteen or seventeen cents?" Ba Liang took a copper basin and came over to clean Yu Linlang's hands. "Girl, let's transport the rice from the south. Including the transportation cost, it won't be so expensive." high."

Yu Linlang cleaned her hands, took the towel and wiped it, nodded and said, "Yes, the black-hearted rice shop is hoarding it."

"It's okay. I've sent a letter to my elder brother and asked him to transport a few more batches of rice." Yu Linlang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Just let Chen Ji Mipu smash the rice into his hands and leave the capital then. There’s no way out! Wouldn’t that be fun.”

"Girl, you are so bad..."

The three of them were talking and laughing, and Mrs. Hu knocked on the door again with "dong dong dong", "Miss, third miss."

Ba Liang pulled open the door of the wing with a face on his face, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Hu squeezed in the door with a somewhat flattering smile, clasped her hands and bowed, "Hey Miss Linlang, it's a good thing, it's a good thing. Today, the master finally has time to go home for a meal, so the old lady said that everyone should gather together A reunion dinner. It can be regarded as the last reunion dinner before the eldest lady gets married."

Counting the days, it is indeed getting closer and closer to the day when Yu Qiuping will leave the cabinet.

Yu Linlang frowned.

Mrs. Hu was quite shrewd. She could see at a glance that Miss Yu didn't want to go, so she quickly persuaded her, "Master is very busy this year. Originally, at this time in previous years, the yamen would have almost sealed Xiu Mu away. But now the girl also knows about the demon murder case." It’s not over yet. It is said that the Yamen has been looking for the families of various victims recently. I am also waiting for an urgent report from the court to see how to deal with it in the future."

"Well, let's face it, this year has been quite uncomfortable." Madam Hu glanced at Miss Yu secretly, "I finally have to come back for a leisurely trip, how can I miss the reunion dinner without Miss Yu?"

Yu Lin's eyes narrowed.

Every time we went there, we broke up unhappy. For Yu Linlang, it didn't matter whether she ate or not.
