"Okay, you can bring it to them." Cheng Yuanjia waved her hand and turned her head to the four captains and said, "You have heard that this bowl of porridge weighs eight taels. Wait for whoever you eats it, you can pay eight taels of gold, or the equivalent silver."

Eight taels of gold, if it is eight hundred taels of silver, it is very great that a bodyguard captain has a salary of hundreds of taels a year. That is to say, this bowl of porridge will have to drink the northwest wind for eight years.

The seventh prince was secretly shocked. The king of Qi secretly stuffed tens of thousands of silver bills for him. Because of Cheng Yuanjia's secret help, he didn't use it at all. Originally, this money could buy a lot of things, but now he can buy more than a dozen bowls of porridge in Cheng Yuanjia's hand. As for whether the porridge is worth this price, the seventh prince has no doubt at all. His martial arts skills are not high, and he may not feel as strong as the four captains, but he still vaguely feels that this porridge has countless benefits to the body, at least making him feel refreshed and energetic.

A large bowl of porridge was placed in front of the four captains. The four people drooled at the porridge, but they did not have the courage to move the spoon. For the first time in their lives, they felt the helplessness of the poor. Originally, they had a good position with a relatively high salary. They all felt that they had a good life. Now they found that they had worked hard for half their lives and couldn't even afford a bowl of porridge.

Looking at the greedy appearance of the four people and Cheng Yuanjia's narrow expression in front of him, the seventh prince's heart moved and said loudly, "Give them three more bowls. I'll pay for them."

"How does this make it?" The captain of the guard hurriedly said, "How can the seventh prince spend money? The seventh prince doesn't have his own fiefdom and mansion, and he doesn't have a good life. How can he spend money for us?

"Since I brought you here, I'll treat you for all your food expenses." The seventh prince took out a few large silver tickets from his arms and pushed them to Cheng Yuanjia and said, "There are 3,000 taels here. Let's give each of them a big bowl first."

"Wait, there's not so much in the kitchen." Cheng Yuanjia didn't accept it immediately and said, "Anyway, I will treat you two bowls for free. You can eat it first." I haven't prepared much porridge. I need to cook it in the kitchen.

The maid who was sent by Cheng Yuanjia to get the silver ticket came in at this time and put a pile of silver tickets in front of Cheng Yuanjia.

The top one of this stack of silver tickets is 1,000 taels, and the thickness is only seven or eight. Combined with this thin stack, there are seven or eight thousand taels.

"This is the guessing of the ingredients." Cheng Yuanjia handed over these silver tickets to the seventh prince and said, "Please help me collect these. They can give them whenever they guessed it. If they can't guess it all the time, you can return them to me after returning to Beijing."

"How do I know if they have guessed it?" The seventh prince looked at the silver ticket in his hand with a wry smile.

"I will naturally tell you the correct answer first." Cheng Yuanjia smiled and said, "Wait for you to come to my room, and I'll write it to you." But you should be careful not to let them peek at it."

Cheng Yuanjia casually took out the lottery head, which is not much less than what the King of Qi gave, which shows her strong financial resources. Ten taels of silver can feed a poor family for a year. Her hand is enough to support hundreds of ordinary families. However, Cheng Yuanjia didn't feel like spending money at all. She just became a lottery player and gave it out casually.

After half an hour, another maid walked into the pavilion with steaming Laba porridge and served a large bowl for each captain.

The porridge turned out to be all kinds of cultivation fruits planted in the inner world of Cheng Yuanjia's nine-star ring. Although it does not have the effect of prolonging life, it has the effect of enhancing internal strength. Eating more is no less than taking the elixir to increase internal force. The four captains each had a big bowl of belly, and only felt that the internal force was surging, and it was almost going to burst the meridians. This big bowl of porridge has increased their skills for five or six years.

If they know that Cheng Yuanjia asked people to soak these ingredients in water for five days in order not to have too much medicine, I don't know what they will think. This is also what she did for them. Even if this porridge can make the power soar, once the rise causes damage to the muscles and veins, it will not be worth the loss. The amount each of the four captains eats is also under her control, and if she eats too much, she will not allow it.

As for the seventh prince, he absolutely can't pull this face and eat a big bowl. It's hard to say anything about the royal people's other skills. Everyone can control their own desires and practice them well.

The seventh prince took the silver ticket in his hand and immediately understood Cheng Yuanjia's heart, which was warmer than the temperature here. The seventh prince is a royal prince. If he borrows money from Cheng Yuanjia, he will break his prince's identity, but because he has no family background and no fiefdom, he doesn't have much money to use at all. Even if the king of Qi secretly subsidizes him, it won't make much use. Moreover, the king of Qi also has his own expenses, and even if he can help him, it is limited. And once the fact that the seventh prince borrowed money from Cheng Yuanjia was known by the people who opposed him in the court, it was another reason to impeach him. Even if the King of Qi and Prince Qian protected him, it would not be a big deal for his reputation.

At present, this 8,000 taels of silver is nothing to Cheng Yuanjia, the god of wealth, but it is really needed for the seventh prince. As for the captains guessing the ingredients in the porridge, I'm afraid it's also something they can't do.

Cheng Yuanjia gave this money to the seventh prince, but gave a reason that he could not refuse, because this was not what she borrowed from him, nor did he borrow from her, let alone a free gift, just some lottery money, just put it in his hand for the time being. If you can't guess when you get home, give her back. This also implies that even if he uses it out now, he will be fine. Anyway, he has to return it back to Beijing. At that time, who will be the same? Cheng Yuanjia can't think of this matter.

Before leaving, Cheng Yuanjia pretended to give the seventh prince a so-called answer. The expression on the seventh prince's face was very rich, because the so-called ingredients listed above, including Bai Lingmi, did he not even hear of it. What kind of golden jade dates, what kind of glazed beans, even he, the prince who grew up in the palace, has never heard of it. Those four big old people can't guess.

It was stuffed with the "answer", as well as 3,000 taels of silver tickets paid by the seventh prince.

Cheng Yuanjia whispered, "I don't really want to take their money, I just want them to accept your feelings again. Although this porridge is delicious, it can't be cooked in a short time. It takes at least three hours to cook a pot. I have been well prepared for the amount given to them, so I asked you to bring them too.

The seventh prince thought of the satisfied eyes of the four captains, and sighed, "Wenjia, after coming here, I found that I owe you again and again. I really don't know how to pay it back."

"I didn't ask you to pay it back." Cheng Yuanjia said lightly, "When you go out, you have to support each other, otherwise the meaning of me coming here will be gone. No matter what happens, you have to remember that you are not alone, and I am.

If this is not in full view of the public, the seventh prince really wants to hug the beauty in front of him fiercely. She is arrogant, arrogant and domineering, and even a little mean and narrow-minded, but she is sincere to him, defending him everywhere and thinking of him. With such a beauty by his side, even if he dies now, he feels that he has no regrets.

Four domestic slaves carried two sacks and sent them to the side of the car. Cheng Yuanjia pointed to the sack and said, "This is the rice used in the porridge you ate today. I'll bring you two bags back and save some food."

The four captains immediately shined, thanked him in a hurry, and carried the sack into the car.

Cheng Yuanjia whispered in the seventh prince's ear, "I ordered someone to send another 500 catties to where you live. You will see it when you go back."

Several people who were still waiting by the car saw Cheng Yuanjia and the seventh prince biting their ears there, and they smiled tacitly together, which made the seventh prince's thin face immediately blush.

"Thank you." The seventh prince lowered his head and escaped from Cheng Yuanjia. He stared at the four people fiercely and quickly drilled into the car.

On the way back to the barracks, the four captains were even more determined to him because of the generous behavior of the seventh prince. They felt that although the seventh prince was a little weak, he felt that he was a good master worth thinking about.

The captain of the bodyguard of the King of Qi asked doubtfully, "When did this county come to Minzhou?" She actually came to Minzhou alone. It seems that she didn't bring many bodyguards. The Empress Dowager let her go out like this?

"You didn't protect her all the way." The seventh prince was instructed by Cheng Yuanjia and did not continue to hide her whereabouts. He said, "The Mr. Cheng who went to Minzhou with us is the county magistrate."

"Oh, my God!" The four of them exclaimed together, and the captain of the bodyguard was even more surprised: "What a smart transfigurer, we didn't even find any of them."

"I hope you don't spread this matter. The county gentleman left the capital without permission. He definitely didn't leave openly, but arranged a stand-in and sneaked away. If what happened here spreads, not only will her stand-in in the capital be executed, but also she herself will bear the crime of bullying the king. The seventh prince said seriously, "You should know the stakes in the middle, so you can't spread the matter of the county magistrate here in any case."

The four captains nodded together and swore to the seventh prince that they would never pass it on.
