The princess is very versatile, leaving the prince to become the richest
Chapter 114 Don’t waste it
"Okay, this is no problem."
After saying this, the old man fell into reminiscence.
"That rain really lasted for ten days and ten nights.
Because it rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River, no one took it seriously at first, thinking it was just a case of heavy rain this year.
But later, it rained for longer and longer periods of time.
There was no sign of stopping, and everyone realized something was wrong.
But before anyone could react, a flood came.
Because there was no preparation and people could not outrun the flood, many people were washed away and died in the flood.
Speaking of which, my parents, brothers and sisters all died in that flood, and I am the only one left in our family.
Although I escaped the disaster, I was left with a cough due to choking on the water.
Later, the late emperor sent troops to rescue, but only a portion of the people were saved.
Later, the water receded, and the people and homes were gone.
The prosperity of the past is no longer there, and after experiencing the blows of separation and death, everyone is very negative.
With great difficulty and encouragement from the government, they regained their faith and built a new home.
However, bad luck happened again and a plague broke out.
Most of the remaining few died.
Later, the Liu family paid for recruitment and recruited people from all over the country, which made Jiangnan become as prosperous as it is today.
Otherwise, I don’t know how many years it will take for this place to be the same as before.
Oh, I hope I'm just imagining all this.
You know, when you get older, you tend to daydream."
After a great disaster, there will be a great epidemic.
Because too many people and animals died, and it happened in the summer, it provided conditions for the reproduction of bacteria.
If it is not handled properly, it will cause an epidemic.
After listening to the old man's story, everyone stopped laughing at him and instead felt full of sympathy for him.
At the same time, everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that nothing would happen as the old man said.
The old man held back his cough and finished speaking.
After that, it was like the door of a reservoir filled with water was opened, and I started coughing non-stop.
Jiang Qingyu couldn't bear to watch it, so he secretly took a bottle of medicine from the space and gave it to the old man.
"Here, this is for you. It will help your cough."
After saying that, he opened the bottle and poured a pill for the old man.
The old man had also heard of Ms. Qing's reputation.
He knew that Qing Niangzi was a good person who often treated the poor without charging any money and even gave them medicine for free.
Someone had advised him before to ask Qing Niang to see him, but he didn't want to see her.
This is the only thing left to him by the disaster. It can also be regarded as a memorial, a memorial to his family.
But since it has been delivered to my door, I am already half buried in the ground, so it doesn't matter whether I commemorate it or not.
After coming to his senses, the old man stuffed the medicine in his hand into his mouth.
It melts in your mouth, and the refreshing feeling spreads from the tip of your tongue to your throat and then to your stomach.
So comfortable.
“Thank you, Madam Qing!
Thank you, I feel much better now.”
"You're welcome, and thank you for telling me this."
“As I should, I ate your snack and took your medicine.
It is only right that we give something.”
Before Jiang Qingyu answered the old man, she heard a creaking sound.
Jiang Qingyu looked over and saw that it was Xiao Jingyu and his servant coming downstairs.
It turned out that they were making loud noises by stepping on the wooden planks of the stairs.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingyu returned to his seat first.
Then, Xiao Jingyu sat opposite her.
"Your Highness, it takes a long time to change clothes.
Look, it’s been a full hour since you went to change your clothes.”
Jiang Qingyu pointed to the hourglass beside him, and it ran out just as he sat down.
The hourglass is a new item that Liujia Department Store has introduced in recent years.
In fact, the reason behind this is that Jiang Qingyu felt that the ordinary timing of lighting incense was not accurate.
So I thought of this and designed it.
Lighting incense is easily affected by external factors, such as wind and the dryness or wetness of the incense.
Seeing that King Qi didn't respond, Jiang Qingyu started talking again.
“Your Highness, Lingxing has already told you, right?
I'm waiting for you here, but it's not for nothing, there's a fee for that.
Let me calculate for you. I can earn between five hundred and one thousand taels per hour.
But what is our relationship? I'll give you a friendly price of five hundred taels!"
After Jiang Qingyu finished speaking, regardless of Xiao Jingyu's expression opposite him, she extended her hand to him.
He was rubbing his hands together.
Xiao Jingyu was speechless. It was clearly this woman who said she had something to discuss with him.
Just because he asked her to wait for him to take a shower and change clothes, he was cheated out of five hundred taels.
He doesn't want to suffer this grievance.
"How come, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, a great general at the border, doesn't he even have five hundred taels of silver?
You, the King of Qi, are so poor. Does that mean our country is also poor?
Is our Qi State going to go bankrupt?
Oh my God, no, I need to tell everyone this news.
So that everyone can be prepared, run for your lives quickly.
No.."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Jingyu compromised.
"Lingxing, give me money!!!"
I am really impressed. This woman has such a rich imagination.
Just because of five hundred taels, she is willing to threaten the country's demise.
Lingxing took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and flipped through them from beginning to end.
Afterwards, Lingxing said to Xiao Jingyu depressedly.
"Your Majesty, we don't have five hundred taels."
"what?
Really not?
Did I really get it right? "
After Lingxing finished speaking, before Xiao Jingyu spoke, Jiang Qingyu could no longer sit still.
"how many?"
"The smallest one is one thousand taels."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyu was no longer excited.
It turns out that this is an alternative way of showing off wealth.
No wonder Xiao Jingyu had such an icy face and was expressionless after hearing this.
This is the confidence of rich people.
Seeing Jiang Qingyu staring at the banknote in Lingxing's hand, Xiao Jingyu said something to Lingxing.
"Go find the shopkeeper to change it!"
"Yes."
"Hey, Lingxing, stop.
Your Highness, you see the shopkeeper is already busy and overwhelmed, so please don't let Lingxing cause trouble.
How about this, you just give me one thousand, I don’t think it’s too much.”
What I mean is, which good person would complain about having too much money?
Jiang Qingyu rushed to grab it after he finished speaking. Xiao Jingyu didn't say anything, and Lingxing didn't dare to resist, so he let Jiang Qingyu take the banknote away.
Jiang Qingyu took a look and saw that it was indeed one thousand taels.
Then, under the gaze of Xiao Jingyu and Ling Xing, he put it into his clothes.
"Don't look at me, business is important, let's get down to business.
And today it's my treat.
Come on, peanuts, melon seeds, and this plate of snacks, let’s eat together.
Food is hard to come by, we must learn to cherish it.
If we order too much, it will be a waste if we can’t finish it, so let’s not add more.”
Oh, this will make her obvious.
Not to mention anything else, just take the extra five hundred taels given to her. No matter where he got it, wouldn't he have to make a dozen dishes?
Xiao Jingyu looked at the empty plate next to him. There were still some crumbs on it, which were obviously leftovers from snacks.
So apart from peanuts and melon seeds, the rest of the dish is probably what she doesn't like to eat?
