178. Coincidence
Rong Qiaoyan looked at Miaozhi who was a little absent-minded and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Did that Long Er mess with you again?"
Miaozhi shook her head in panic when she heard the question, "No...No."
"Then what did you say?" Rong Qiaoyan asked in disbelief.
Miaozhi obviously knows what's going on.
"Yes...that man said...that he followed Prince Mu to Jinzhou to make merits, so he became a famous guard. So he showed off his name and called Yanwei." Miaozhi began to intermittently, but later he became more and more fluent in speaking.
"Oh." After hearing this, Rong Qiaoyan always felt something was wrong.
However, her attention was immediately taken away by a voice.
"Miss Liu...Miss Liu?" Rong Qiaoyan looked up and saw Si Pianzhi standing in the corridor outside the flower wall, looking at her in surprise.
Rong Qiaoyan realized that she had walked to Erdaojiaomen.
"Mr. Si." Rong Qiaoyan bowed through the flower wall.
After the ceremony, she wanted to leave.
Since I rejected Si Pianzhi's confession, it would be better to keep a distance from now on.
"The autumn weather is getting colder, Miss Liu must take good care of her health."
Si Pianzhi saw Rong Qiaoyan's intention to leave and said quickly.
"Thank you, the son of the company, for your concern. Goodbye."
Rong Qiaoyan thanked Si Pianzhi and bowed, then hurriedly left with Miaozhi's hand.
Looking at Rong Qiaoyan who was gradually moving away, Si Pianzhi's face gradually became gloomy.
Does she just want to pay attention to him?
He looked at Miaozhi's hand holding Rong Qiaoyan, and wanted to chop it up, just let him support it.
Rong Qiaoyan returned to the room, then threw away Si Pianzhi's affairs and thought secretly, what should she do if she really came up with the situation in person?
It is really difficult to leave the people around you, no matter what you do.
Now I only told Miaozhi that this food matter was a joint business. Miaozhi lived in the inner courtyard all year round, so naturally believed it.
I’m afraid that it wasn’t hidden from Madam Yang’s side?
Rong Qiaoyan thought about Madam Yang's desire to speak for the past few months, and slowly thought about it.
In Zhou Lei's room in the front yard, Madam Yang was indeed pressing against Zhou Lei's ears, asking him to do things for Rong Qiaoyan carefully.
"Miss is a matter of this matter. You must be careful. When you go out, walk a few more streets, change clothes, and go to a few more places. Don't save money on such small things, but you will be seen by someone."
Madam Yang reminded me bit by bit.
This stone was hidden well by the lady, but no matter how well it was hidden, it came out of her own belly.
I observed it for a while and asked indirectly.
After all, Shi Tou is his son and is not so cautious about himself. Some things are revealed between the lines.
When she heard this, she was naturally surprised, but she didn't dare to ask too much, so she could only let Shitou hide his whereabouts carefully every time.
"Don't worry, mom. Every time I go out, I go around several circles and go to several clothes to change into several clothes. I'm careful."...
After Zhou Lei was seen through what he did for the lady by his mother, he felt quite ashamed of the lady.
So I became more careful, afraid of causing trouble for the lady.
Fortunately, the lady said before that when Prince Mu came back, he would ask him to sell the grain to Prince Mu at a cost.
Although he lamented that the lady was not making money by making trouble in this circle, she was at least worried.
Therefore, even if his mother talks, he endured it.
After talking about food with Mu Yunzheng, Rong Qiaoyan went to girls' school as usual and started living normally.
In a blink of an eye, it was August.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Rong Mansion did not celebrate the festival in order to take the imperial examination in Rong Zhiming.
Therefore, as soon as August came, the mansion began to become lively.
The village of Rongfu is not as far away from Jinzhou Prefecture in the south. Although the grain harvest is a bit bad, it is not as granule as Jinzhou Prefecture.
Therefore, among the various villages in Rong Mansion, there were still houses who sent gifts one after another.
When Rong Qiaoyan went to the back garden to stroll, she saw the lively atmosphere in the mansion and thought about the floods in the south.
Unexpectedly, I thought of a sentence that my sister-in-law Liu said in her previous life: "The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road."
The life of this poor person is always closely related to the life of wealthy families.
Sister-in-law Liu also said that it is difficult to empathize with it, and many people only know how to say it.
Rong Qiaoyan thought about what she did, and it seemed that the same was true for what she did.
So she became a little ashamed.
"If you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are rich, you will be able to help the world. Sorry, I am very poor and I need money."
Rong Qiaoyan, who returned to the yard in shame, looked outside the window for a long time before muttering to herself.
Now I need money to escape, and when I become stable, I will definitely go to give more porridge and do good deeds.
Only when Rong Qiaoyan comforted herself in this way could she feel more at ease.
Mu Yunzheng sent two more letters to see Rong Qiaoyan, but she refused.
Just say, if there is any news, just pass it to Miaozhi.
Miaozhi really got a lot of letters back.
Rong Qiaoyan also learned that there are also refugees outside the city now, but there are not many, just in groups of three or three. There are much less than what I heard of in groups in my previous life.
Because there are few refugees, the government has unified resettlement, either repatriated or arranged a job to make a full meal.
Hearing this, Rong Qiaoyan was finally relieved of what she said about this dream in advance.
I just hope that these good deeds can bless me and my aunt to really escape from Rong Mansion.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the court was busy due to disaster relief.
Therefore, there was no night banquet in the court, and no lantern festival was held in the capital. It was just that the various palaces were lively.
The people in Rong's house also feel a little regretful.
Last year, because Rong Zhiming participated in the autumn examination, they didn’t go to see even if there was a lantern festival on Tian Street.
This year, the mansion was bustling, but the lantern festival was cancelled.
Perhaps the court did not want everyone to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with uneasy hearts, so on August 18th, the government issued a notice and began to collect grain, allowing everyone to know whether the disaster was short of food or medicine.
The food price naturally rose.
However, it is not as outrageous as it did in previous years, but it is only twice as high as in previous years.
This price obviously did not meet the expectations of those grain merchants, so for a while, no one went to the government to sell grain.
Rong Qiaoyan, who heard the government notice from Zhou Lei inquired, also received a letter from Mu Yunzheng sent by Yan Wei.
Mu Yunzheng wrote in the letter that this is a good time to sell food. If you wait any longer, the government may have to fight a few people out.
Mu Yunzheng also said that this matter is very important, so she must go to the village in person on the 22nd day and he will come to dock in person.
This is inevitable to meet.
After all, Prince Mu has come forward in person, can she still take Qiao?
