Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved up and down.
What was this bastard saying? When did she break her promise
"Puff,... cough cough..." Ren Zilin pretended to cough for a while, suppressed his smile and said: "In this case, Miss Shen Mingzhu, you should send the silver to the government office!"
Shen Mingzhu was extremely frustrated. She took a breath and looked at Ren Zilin with a wronged look on her face: "Yes, sir."
She knew that any man who saw her like this would feel pity for her, and it had always worked before.
Ren Zilin couldn't help but shudder, and quickly turned to Chu Tiankuo and said, "Master, let's go!"
This is a weird monster...
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
Chu Tiankuo didn't move, pointing at the rice and flour on the ground and said, "Does Miss Shen have any rice and flour to cook tonight?"
Xing Nong raised an eyebrow: "No."
Chu Tiankuo looked at Ren Zilin.
Ren Zilin clapped his hands!
Shen Mingzhu's eyelids twitched!
Ren Zilin understood immediately when he saw Chu Tiankuo's look, and said immediately: "Not having food to cook is a big deal, people will starve to death. Miss Mingzhu, this happened because of your family, and your family happens to be next door, please have someone send some food and oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and sugar over! It doesn't need to be too much, 50 kilograms of refined rice and white flour each, and 10 kilograms of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and sugar each will be enough! I'll wait here."
When they were young, he and Chu Tiankuo had done many such things as taking advantage of their power to bully others and robbing the rich to help the poor.
So when Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows, he knew what to do.
However, Chu Tiankuo hasn't been like this for a long time, ever since the entire family of Marquis Changping was executed and the queen was deposed and sent to the cold palace.
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
So, what did she pay for the one hundred and twenty taels
Is it just loneliness
If I eat 50 kilograms of rice and flour tonight, won’t I die of fullness
Chu Tiankuo asked Xingnong: "Is this delicacies from the mountains and the sea what we'll be eating tonight?"
"right."
Ren Zilin: "You can't have a meal without vegetables! There are so many delicacies scattered all over the floor, it looks like they weigh about 10 kilograms."
Then he turned his head and looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Miss, your family is so rich, you should have these, right? Bring 10 kilograms of each to cook for Miss Shen!"
Shen Mingzhu: “… ..”
Sir, do you have any misunderstanding about the definition of 10 kilograms or 8 kilograms
Shen Mingzhu felt like she was about to be hurt internally from being angry, and her heart began to ache.
She thought she was stunningly beautiful and that all men couldn't help but take a second look at her. She also knew that men would be more partial to beautiful women.
She had just changed her clothes and dressed up in the carriage. She didn't understand why the county magistrate and the legal advisor seemed to be blind.
Seeing that she didn't move, Ren Zilin waved his hand and said, "Go! Hurry up, I'll wait here."
“… … .”
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she finally managed to bow and replied, "Yes, sir."
This blessing makes my butt hurt even more!
She came here despite the injury on her butt!
Shen Mingzhu left with the help of her maid. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that she would be angry to death.
Soon, Yao personally brought people to deliver food and silver. Shen Mingzhu did not show up because her butt was too painful.
Knowing that Ren Zilin was waiting, fifty kilograms of refined rice, fifty kilograms of white flour, and some seafood were quickly delivered. In addition, there were oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, fresh pork and vegetables, and even a set of brand new tableware and tea sets.
So much money had been given away, Yao thought, so a few taels of silver wouldn't be a big deal.
It would be better to leave a good impression on the new county magistrate.
She would get these things back anyway.
Yao said to Gu and Ren Zilin with a guilty look on her face, "My Lords, no matter how you look at it, this matter with the Second Madam is all my family's fault. Here is 120 taels of silver, and see if these things are enough for food. If not, I'll have someone bring some more."
Gu wanted to refuse.
Xing Nong took the banknote and said calmly, "It is worth a thousand gold to have your beloved things damaged. How can I accept this? But for the sake of the county magistrate, I will let it go."
Yao was choked and felt very angry!
What does it mean to be ungrateful after getting an advantage
I never realized that this wild species was so difficult to deal with.
Ren Zilin wanted to laugh, so he cleared his throat and said, "Miss Shen, that's enough! Okay, the case is closed, you can leave now!"
Yao: “…”
Originally, he wanted to invite the county magistrate to his home for tea, but Yao was tactful enough. She bowed and left.
After Yao left, the narrow alley returned to peace.
Gu brought her children to bow to Ren Zilin and thank him: "Thank you, sir, and Master, for upholding justice for my family."
Ren Zilin supported Gu and said seriously, "Madam, you don't have to be polite. As a parent official, it is my duty to plead for the people."
He was planning to do something big in this small county and impress his father.
Gu looked at Xingnong and said, "Xingnong, please see the master and the master off."
Xing Nong nodded: "Sir, Master, please."
Ren Zilin waved his hand: "No need, we can just go on our own."
After saying that, he glanced at Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo nodded, and the two of them walked away.
Gu picked up a spatula on the ground, squatted down, and carefully scooped up the white flour that was scattered on the ground.
Only by picking up these foods first and then packing up other things can we save as much of these foods as possible.
White flour mixed with mud and sand is almost inedible, but it can be eaten by chickens. You can use it to feed chickens when you buy them.
Pick up the polished rice and wash away the sand before cooking.
Xingqing and Xinghui also bent down.
Xingnong also picked up a cotton bag on the ground and started picking up the rice grains on the ground.
Chu Tiankuo looked back, turned around and walked back.
There was a food shortage in the State of Chu, and many poor people suffered from hunger.
Ren Zilin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look, only to see several people on the ground, wearing tattered clothes with patches everywhere. They were carefully shoveling up the white flour and rice mixed with mud and sand on the ground.
He looked so serious, as if the things on the ground were not white flour and refined rice mixed with mud and sand, but gold.
Ren Zilin wanted to say something, but when he saw this scene, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
Chu Tiankuo squatted down not far from Xingnong, reached out his hand, picked up the rice grains on the ground and threw them into the cotton bag.
A slender and beautiful hand came into Xingnong's sight, and she looked up at the owner of her hand.
The boy's facial features are deep and strong, and he is so handsome that it seems unreal.
He lowered his head and eyes, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, and under his straight nose was a pair of sexy thin lips, which were gently pursed. He seemed very cold and difficult to get along with.
The artist's hand picked up grains of pure white rice and put them into the rice bag beside it. The round and white fingertips, stained with mud and dust, looked even whiter.
Xingnong was picking up rice grains absentmindedly.
Suddenly, her wrist was gently grasped, and a burning warmth wrapped around her cold wrist through her clothes, causing her heart to tremble inexplicably.
"Be careful." A low and cold voice sounded in my ears.
Xing Nong lowered her head and saw a beautiful hand picking up a piece of broken porcelain from under her fingertips.
Chu Tiankuo let go of her hand, raised his head and looked around, looking for something to hold the broken porcelain pieces. He saw the wooden basin behind Xingnong and said, "Bring the basin over here."
Xing Nong quickly came back to his senses, turned around and took the basin: "Thank you."
Chu Tiankuo didn't say anything, threw the broken porcelain pieces in, and then continued to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
The two men didn't say anything else. They lowered their heads, one picking up broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and the other picking up rice grains on the ground.
The pine and cypress tree on the other end also came to its senses, walked over quickly and squatted down.
Ren Zilin felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He said to the yamen runners behind him, "Go over and help pick up the things."
Some of the yamen runners came from poor backgrounds and immediately ran over when they heard the words.
Everyone squatted down to help pick up the rice grains on the ground.
... ...
In the alley in the afternoon, there are cicadas chirping, breeze, and a group of people silently picking up food.
