Cry for Song

Chapter 69 Three Confused Officials

Listening to the two ladies laughing, Wang couldn't help smiling bitterly. If she didn't understand the local customs, she didn't even know how to offend people. When Su Xiaomei saw Wang's smile, she was a little helpless and asked jokingly, "What's wrong with the prince? Do you regret it?"

"Who set this rule? It's better for everyone to do new things and change customs, haha." Wang side smiled and asked, "I don't know who set this rule. If there are many daughters in the family, isn't it a big loss?"

Su Xiaomei covered her mouth and smiled: "This rule was set by Mr. Fan Zhongyan, but at that time, it was also stipulated that the man's employment fee was 80 yuan. There are several people in the world who are as generous as the prince."

Rouer also smiled and then asked, "Is the prince still going out today?"

Wang thought for a moment, since Xixia came back, he really didn't have time to sit down and talk with the two ladies. He simply sat there and ordered people to make a pot of good tea and made some fruit plate tea: "I won't go out, so that you don't complain that I won't accompany you. I'll talk to you today."

Three people sat in the room and chatted. After half a column of incense, when they heard the sound outside the door, Lu Shenyan's voice said, "Your Majesty, I'm here to bring you tea." The maid in the room opened the door. Lu Shenyan was carrying a tea in his left hand, a cloth bag in his armpit, and a skateboard in his right hand into the room.

"Your Majesty, your skateboard is really good. I can't live without him since I learned it." He spoke, put the skateboard in the wall, and walked to the three people next to the king with a cloth bag and tea.

"Concubine Su, Concubine Rou, this is what Mrs. Bao gave to you two." With that, he put the cloth bag on the table: "Your Majesty, this is this year's new tea, which has just been delivered today."

When Wang heard that it was new tea, he smiled and pointed to the teacup in front of him: "Come on, change this tea."

As soon as the maid was about to come, Lu Shenyan said, "I'll come." He took a new cup and ordered tea for the king again.

Lu Shenyan ordered good tea and handed it to Wang. Wang opened the tea and gently took a sip. The fragrance in his mouth was deep into his heart. "Xiao Lu, this tea is good. Is it from our tea factory?"

"There are only two people in the world who have good tongues. One is Cai Xiang and Cai Junmo, and the other is the prince. I can't drink this tea well, but I have to say it's good. After all, it's from our tea factory."

Su Xiaomei gave him a blank look, and Lu Shenyan hurriedly said, "Also, Su Zizhan is also a master of tea tasting." To make up this sentence, he also bowed his head and smiled, and hurriedly continued, "Your Majesty, this is sent by Liu Qi. He said that Mr. Zhang Yi is not feeling well and will not come to the capital this spring."

Wang Bian pondered for a moment: "Master is old, and he is really tired of running back and forth. Has Liu Qi left?"

"No, I just came here. How can I leave without seeing you? I'll arrange for him to rest first and let him see you tomorrow."

Jouer and Su Xiaomei have opened the cloth bag at this time. Inside are two sets of brand-new clothes,

"Mrs. Bao is really intentional. She has to make some gifts in the past few days. Lu Guan's family, thank her for us later." Su Xiaomei said politely,

Rouer also said, "I still have a few good fabrics, and I don't need them there. I'll take them later and ask Mrs. Bao to make some new clothes for the bag."

Lu Shenyan replied to Rouer's words: "I didn't just take some a few days ago. Mrs. Bao also said thank you to the two princesses. Baotong also made a few clothes, together with the large and small ones in the house. Now there are a lot of fabrics in each room. I think you can restrain them casually. Open a satin house. "

Su Xiaomei said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with the court now. I don't know where to send these patches from, and I don't ask what's missing in each house."

You can use whatever you send. Anyway, it's a welfare given by the court for nothing. These things are not bad, and you may be able to use them at any time.

Lu Shenyan moved a round stool and sat next to the king and drank the leftover tea that the king was about to change: "This cloth is not bad, and it has been afraid of worms for a long time, and the princess is right. Now the things in the house can't be found in the capital, but many things are piled up into mountains, and the rice noodles sent by the imperial court are used in two granaries. But when I saw it, it was summer, and when I turned back, it was moldy, so I had to throw it away.

Wang raised his eyebrows and was secretly surprised. He thought that he had a lot of money, and the original supplies were also sufficient: "This is also sent by the court. You still say that the court doesn't know what's wrong with the court, and it's not enough to send so many things."

Lu Shenyan said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not satisfied. It's rice noodles that are covered with cooking materials. There are no cooking materials. Our royal palace only drinks white rice porridge."

"Hey, then go to the street to buy it."

Lu Shenyan curled his lips and said, "What you said is light. These things don't need needles and threads. The shipping department mobilizes anything to the capital, and there are many things in the capital. I don't know that the head of the shipping department is not kicked by the donkey. They don't know what is missing in the capital."

It's no wonder that the shipping director is responsible for the transportation of Huai, Zhejiang, Jiang, Hu and other six roads, and transports a series of sufficient things such as firewood, rice, tea and salt from the south to the capital.

Su Xiaomei said, "This can't be blamed on the shipping department. The shipping department is just an executive organ, and it can only go to a certain place to collect and transport something according to fate."

"Sister Su knows a lot." Rouer looked at Su Xiaomei with envy and whispered,

"Then let the donkey kick the head of the shipping envoy." Lu Shenyan said hatefully,

Wang Bian smiled and said, "It is the department of the third division that is in charge of the shipping department. It is probably that he has been sitting in the office for a long time and does not understand the people's feelings at all. However, the situation of our royal palace may not represent the situation in the whole capital. Why is Xiao Lu so angry?"

Lu Shenyan sighed: "Our Weushi County is rich in wheat. We don't know what's going on with this official who made the donkey kick his head. This wheat is transported from the south. Anyone who has read half a book knows that there are records in ancient books that in the north Qi, Lu, Yan, Qin and Jin, the people eat half of the wheat, while the southern Fujian, The wheat growers in Zhejiang, Wu and Chu are 20 cents and one. Now the wheat in our county is rotten in the ground, and we don't need it. Do you think this is to give up the near and seek the far?

Dare to be because of this, not to mention that ancient information was underdeveloped. Even in a modern information-developed society, there will be officials sitting in the house and thinking about things. Wang nodded in agreement: "What you said is a matter, but wait a minute. When the new policy is implemented, there will be one of them called the equal loss method. If the court is responsible for shipping, it has to calculate the freight demand and other costs, and the court has to reintegrate the transportation, do market research to purchase goods, and have to be responsible for its own profits and losses, so there will be no such waste and imbalance in supply and demand as you said.

Lu Shenyan immediately sat up straight when he heard this: "If there is such a good thing, when will this new policy be implemented? Our fellow villagers in Weishi County are having a difficult life now."

"This, it will take some time. Isn't the Development and Reform Department now training and assessing candidates? When the Development and Reform Department is officially established, the new policy will be announced one by one."

Lu Shenyan collapsed again one day and said without confidence, "That's terrible. It will take three or five months. It's a year and a half. I guess the villagers will become refugees."

"Don't worry, I have a way. Didn't you say that the rice and cloth of the royal palace are piled up like a mountain? I'll give you a chance to show your face. You take some to take your wife back to the province, and by the way, you can supplement your father in your hometown. Put some rice cloth and collect some wheat back. The main thing is to let the people get things for some living money. Anyway, our king The house is not bad at all." Wang said generously,

Xiao Lu stood up, bowed deeply to the king and said, "Ouch, my lord, I thank you for the father of our Weishi County."

"Get up quickly. Why do we still say such polite words? Although you don't have a relationship with our brother, I treat you as a little brother. Your business is my business."

Lu Shenyan's moved lips shivered: "Your Majesty...you are so kind..."

It must be a good thing to be praised, especially the heartfelt fan like Lu Shenyan's heartfelt praise. Wang Bang remembered the Ali bone betrothal gift, so he asked Lu Shenyan, "I promised my second brother that the betrothal gift is ready?"

"I've been ready for a long time. After you have eaten wine, I sent someone to escort the betrothal gift and Prince Aligu to the restaurant. Your Highness, why do you think you have given too much?" Lu Shenyan asked Wang tentatively,

The king smiled. Anyway, it has been given. In case the second uncle can't figure it out by himself,

Lu Shenyan saw that there was nothing to greet him next to the king, and there were two more princesses. After saying that, he got up and walked to the wall, picked up the skateboard and said, "Your Majesty, then I'll go first."

The maid Xiangxiang opened the door for Lu Shenyan and watched Lu Shenyan walk out of the room. When she closed the door, she lowered her head and smiled secretly.

Su Xiaomei asked, "Xiangxiang, what are you laughing at?"

Xiangxiang said, "Mr. Lu is finally sliding back now. When he was just practicing this skateboard, he was often thrown down."

Thinking of the ridiculous appearance of Xiaolu skateboarding, Wang also laughed. The two ladies looked at each other and stood up: "Your Majesty, let's leave first. Let's leave Xiangxiang here to serve you today." With that, the two people helped each other and walked out of the door,

"Oh, wait a minute." When Wang was about to refuse, the little sister smiled at him in the blink of an eye and turned to close the door.

Wang is now at the same age, and the two wives have a big belly at the same time. Instead of waiting for him to go out to look for flowers and willows, it is better to let him tos around in the house. The wife's heart is understood by the king, and it is normal for the girl who was married by the ancients to have sex with her master. Wang looked at Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands and blushed her hands and feet. Where are you standing at a loss? It seems that Su Xiaomei has already done her mental work.

"Cough." Madam is so generous, but the king is a little unnatural,

"Xiangxiang, when have you seen Mr. Lu's fall?"

"Well, when I went to the military field to see them practice skateboarding..." Xiangxiang's voice was very soft,

"Then who learns the fastest?" Wang asked without saying a word, thinking about how to send Xiangxiang in his mind, and didn't let Su Xiaomei feel embarrassed.

"Young Prince and Mr. Cai."

Cai Jing? Wang Bian remembered that this girl was not interested in Cai Jing. It was impossible to be the main room. Cai Jing was also an official eunuch of the scholar's family, but it could be seen that Cai Jing also had a good impression on Xiangxiang. It was better to give it to Cai Jing as a rose. Anyway, Xiangxiang is not Wang's dish,

"Then you go down first and tell Princess Su that I will help you choose a good person."
