The queen of drama

Chapter 190 Ye Linglong May Be Pregnant With Her Child

Seeing that the guards were dressed luxuriously, and seeing him carrying so much grain, the man smiled and said, "You are also here to sell grain, the rice shop just opened in front, and his family is collecting grain."

The guard frowned and looked over there, and sure enough there was a shop without a plaque, and they were collecting rice grains in it.

The guard looked at the cart of grain behind the passer-by again: "Isn't the harvest this year not good? Why do you still have surplus grain to sell!"

The man gave him a strange look: "This official is from another place."

The guard was stunned for a moment, what does this have to do with him being a local outsider?Although puzzled, the guard nodded: "Yes."

The man laughed: "No wonder you don't know, King Yan is distributing porridge at the gate of the post station. We people can drink it every day, and we eat for free. Who eats our own food? Isn't that extra money? Have you? Thinking of changing some money to spend."

The guard understood, and frowned again: "But now the price of food is so low, you still sell it!"

The man glanced at him helplessly: "This official doesn't know the sufferings of the people just by looking at it. When did the price of grain get so high? This year's price is similar to that of previous years. What's more, every family has surplus grain now, and there is a lot of grain. , won’t the price be lower?”

As he said that, he glanced at the dozens of carts of grain behind him: "I advise you to sell it quickly, the price of the grain will only be lower when you harvest it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, the man warned again: "If you want to sell, sell this one. The price of grain collected by this rice store is relatively reasonable. If you sell it to those landlords, it will only be cheaper."

The guard stared blankly at the rice store, but when he came back to his senses, he saw that the passerby had already pushed the grain to sell it.

The guard hesitated for a while, and then went to the rice store to ask the price. It was [-]% higher than the landlord's price, but it was still [-]% lower than yesterday.

The guard was afraid that the price would be lower tomorrow, so he didn't dare to go back to Zhao Xi without any neglect.

As soon as the guard left, Liluo came out from the back of the rice store, and let the people selling grain in front come in: "You performed well this time, especially you."

Li Luo praised the passerby who just talked to the guard.

The passer-by quickly scratched his head naively: "I didn't say anything, I just said what you taught me."

Li Luo smiled and nodded: "It's all good, you go back and rest first, and let the rest come tomorrow."

These are the people they just bought in Beibin that day, a total of about ten people, and now they are halfway through acting.This play should end tomorrow at the latest, and I believe Zhao Xi won't delay until tomorrow, after all, the price will drop again tomorrow.

"Okay." Several people agreed, and they all went back.

Li Luo confessed to the shopkeeper again: "You continue to guard here. If he comes to sell grain, I will definitely come. When the time comes, you come to the back to find me, and I will give you money."

"Yes." The shopkeeper responded quickly.

This side explained well, and Li Luo also followed back to the post station.

The guard came back and hurriedly told Zhao Xi about the situation of selling grain today. Hearing that the price of grain had dropped by another [-]%, Zhao Xi was so angry that he wanted to smash things again: "What's going on? Why did the price of the harvest yesterday drop again? , you have been played by someone."

"No." The guard quickly told Zhao Xi what he had heard from several landlords.

Zhao Xi heard that the rice would not be sold today, and the price would be lower tomorrow, so he became even more irritable: "Is it all at this price? Did you ask other people?"

The guard quickly nodded with a bitter face: "All the landlords' subordinates have asked about the price, and they all said that the grain will drop. I also asked the passers-by who sell grain here, and they said the same."

After hearing this, Zhao Xi’s expression became more serious. It’s 10,000% lower, but that’s another 160+ less. He spent 10,000 million on these grains, and now he’s already lost half of it. This is another [-]+ loss. Think about Zhao Xi Xidu felt reconciled.

Seeing this, the guard hurriedly said: "My subordinates have inquired, and there is a rice shop whose price is quite reasonable, [-]% higher than the landlord's price. If your lord wants to sell grain, then the rice shop is the most suitable."

Zhao Xi squinted at the guard, if it wasn't for his most trusted guard, he would have suspected that this man had colluded with outsiders to deceive him.

But in this situation, he really can't afford to wait, not to mention whether the price of grain will drop tomorrow, even Ye Linglong can't wait!He must rush back to the capital as soon as possible to prevent Ye Linglong from getting married.

The Dingyuan Hou Mansion not only arranged a marriage for Ye Linglong, but also set a very urgent date for the marriage.It made him have to wonder if Ye Linglong was pregnant, that's why the Dingyuan Houfu was so eager to marry her off to hide his ugliness.

Thinking that Ye Linglong might be pregnant with his child, Zhao Xi became even more anxious, wishing to fly back to the capital immediately.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xi could only grit his teeth and look at the guard: "Go and sell all the rice and grain now, and bring back the bank notes. We will return to Beijing overnight."

"Yes." Although the guard didn't know what happened in the capital, but seeing Zhao Xi was so angry before, he knew that something must have happened.

The guards immediately returned to the rice shop with the grain.

Next door, Li Luo hadn't sat down yet, just reported the matter to the prince and concubine, and saw the guard go out again.

Seeing this, Hua Raoyue was overjoyed: "Zhao Xi is going to sell grain."

Hua Raoyue excitedly brought her box, took 100 million taels of silver bills, and gave him a bag of silver ingots: "Take the silver and hurry over."

She lowered the price by 100% again. The [-] million taels probably won't last, but it's always good to have more money.

"Yes." Li Luo was also a little excited, and ran out with the money.

As soon as Li Luo jumped into the back of the rice store, the shopkeeper in front came to find him, and seeing that Li Luo was indeed in the back, the shopkeeper was relieved: "The man came to sell grain, and the front is already weighing. "

"Okay." Li Luo nodded: "I have brought all the money, you go outside and watch, calculate how much money you have, and then come to me."

"Yes." The shopkeeper replied and went out immediately.

Li Luo was a little excited, but he also knew that there was a lot of rice outside, and he was afraid that he would have to wait for a while, so he sat down at the table and poured tea to drink.

After waiting for more than an hour, the shopkeeper finally ran over again: "A total of 41 shi, and a total of 71 taels. The young one just asked him to wipe off the change, and the young master can give me a whole number."

Li Luo nodded, as he had guessed in his heart, and readily counted 71 taels of silver bills to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the banknote and went out, and came in again after a while: "Master, everything is done, the man has already left with the banknote, those grains..."

The shopkeeper was a little worried, although they were a rice store, but there was too much food, there was really no place to store it.

Li Luo also frowned, thought for a while and said: "Put it in the back first, try to put it in the house, if you can't put it down, put it behind several other shops, put it like this first, someone will come to deliver the food in two days .”

Fortunately, they bought four shops before, and there are backyards and warehouses behind the shops, so they can put some.Li Xing should be coming soon, and when Li Xing arrives, let him distribute the food to shops in various cities.

The shopkeeper immediately nodded in understanding: "I understand, little one."

"Okay, you can find someone to move, I'll go back first." Li Luo explained some details, and then went back to the station.

When he went back, he happened to see Zhao Xi in Jun Moran's yard, so he hid secretly in the dark.

"My lord and concubine, Mr. Zhao is asking to see you." Li Qing bowed outside the door and reported.

"Let him in." It was Hua Raoyue's voice.

Li Qing turned to Zhao Xi without saying a word, but the meaning was obvious, that is to let him in by himself.

Zhao Xi pushed the door open and entered the room. Inside, Hua Raoyue and Jun Moran were having dinner.

Jun Moran glanced at Zhao Xi, then lowered his head to eat again.Rao'er cooked rice and stir-fried vegetables tonight, all of which he likes to eat.

"Is Mr. Zhao available?" Hua Raoyue was smiling, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhao Xi didn't have the mind to deal with Hua Raoyue, but just looked at Jun Moran with a sullen face: "This official is here to ask the prince to say goodbye."

Hearing the word "farewell", Jun Moran finally looked up at him: "Master Zhao is going back to the capital?"

"Yes." Zhao Xi replied with lowered eyes, "something happened in the capital, so the servant must go back early."

A sneer sneered at the corner of Jun Moran's lips: "I thought Mr. Zhao was following the emperor's order to enter the capital with me, but didn't he?"
