The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

In the following days, people in the capital could always see cartloads of "big lumps of earth" being transported to the inner city, outside the city, and even further.

At first, they thought it was some new object that the superior liked.

After all, if one day you tell them that the people above them like cow dung, they won’t find it strange.

Later, they learned from official notices that this thing was called "potato" and had another elegant name, "ma Ling", and its output far exceeded that of rice, wheat and other crops.

Nowadays, every household can get a few tons of rice from the government based on the number of people, and they are allowed to take them home to plant or eat them themselves.

There are even people who specialize in teaching planting experience, and of course there are also people who teach how to eat it.

For a time, the "reputation" of potatoes spread from the capital to the whole Zhou Dynasty.

The rise of an item will inevitably lead to... some evil ideas being put on it.

The day after the deadline for the court to distribute potatoes.

Mingyue heard that some people were buying potatoes from the public at high prices, even more than the one or two taels of silver offered by the ministers.

If you think about it carefully, there must be something fishy going on.

Wen Xun got the news earlier and was also investigating the matter, so Mingyue went straight to him.

"Brother Wen! Do you have any clues?!"

Wen Xun: I’m impressed by you, Old Six. I just took over and it’s only a few minutes faster than you!

Seeing him buried in the files and ignoring her, Mingyue touched her nose and said, "Oh, I'm too concerned about this. Please share with me what's going on."

Wen Xun directly handed her the information in his hand. "Well, it's nothing else, but it has something to do with your friend."

Friend? Who?

Mingyue took it and looked at it. Du Chunzhu?

"Stupid Du? How come there are still people called that?" She couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then he looked down, huh? This person turned out to be Lin Siyu's mother's nephew!

Is it the family that used to despise the poor and love the rich and looked down on Lin Siyu's father?

"I don't know if Lin Siyu knows about this." Mingyue muttered, "Brother Wen, what should we do about this?"

Wen Xun didn't look up. "Look, I have so many cases to sort out. Do I look like someone who has time to meddle in other people's business?"

Moreover, this was clearly a stupid thing done by Du Chunzhu! He didn't need to think about it at all.

Simply stupid and greedy.

Mingyue stuck out her tongue and slipped out of Wen Xun's office.

It seems that he doesn't intend to care, so she will go to Lin Siyu to ask what this stupid Du is going to do, so as not to involve Lin Siyu's family.

When I arrived at the Lin Mansion, before I even entered the main courtyard, I heard cursing sounds inside.

"What on earth is the Du family trying to do?!"

"Master, calm down. If your wife knew about this, she would be extremely worried."

The old butler whispered.

"Humph! Didn't they say that merchants were of low status in the past? Why are they also becoming lowly now?"

Father Lin was furious. If the Du family had just done whatever they wanted, it would have been fine. But they had to use the Lin family as their backing, advertising themselves as relatives of the Lin family and backed by the imperial merchant.

Du Chunzhu bought potatoes at a high price, but had no money to pay, so he used the Lin family as a guarantee and asked someone to ask the Lin family for money.

What a thing!

He would rather give ten thousand taels to the people of the world for free than spend it on that shameless ungrateful person.

"knock knock"

Everyone in the room looked towards the door.

I was about to lose my temper, because I had been told many times not to let anyone in when they were having a private conversation.

Why again...

"Mingyue, why are you here?" Father Lin's expression changed instantly. "Just now, just now, wasn't uncle a little fierce? Did he scare you?"

There was some trepidation in Lin's father's voice.

He looked at the butler for help, wondering if he had really been fierce just now.

The butler lowered his head and said, "Master, you look like this when you are angry. You don't know how to control yourself."

"Uncle Lin, it's okay. I'm here just for this." When she told everyone her future purpose, everyone fell silent.

Combining what Lin's father said just now, Mingyue finally realized how disgusting the Du family's actions were.

Isn't this just a waste of money?

Although she didn't know what the Du family was going to do with so many potatoes.

But...it's impossible to make money...

Right.

"Sister Mingyue, don't be afraid. Leave this matter to my father and brother. I'll take you out to play." Lin Siyu took Mingyue's hand.

This girl is still young, but she always likes to get involved in these beatings, which makes her worry about getting old.

Mingyue shook her head and then asked Lin's father, "Uncle Lin, will you pay for Du Chun's bet?"

Father Lin didn't know why she asked this question, but he gave his own answer, "Of course not!"

"Okay! Then you have to promise me, you can't go back on your word. If you get entangled by a blood-sucking insect like this, you'll never be able to separate from it."

Father Lin nodded and kept Mingyue's advice in mind.

Lin Sixiu was also very satisfied with his father's approach.

He believed that the relationship between relatives could not be restored, so why should he support the Du family for the sake of face?

Seeing their firm attitude, Mingyue felt relieved and followed Lin Siyu out.

"Thank you, Sister Mingyue, for coming to my house."

"You're welcome. This is nothing. We are good friends. If I don't care, then my brother will come back from the barracks and ask about it. If I can't answer, he won't let me off easily."

"Hahaha, the boss can't bear to bully you."

Lin Siyu walked beside Mingyue, keeping a perfect distance between them.

Now, the moon is getting bigger and bigger. I could ignore these distinctions between men and women in the past, but I can no longer do so in the future.

Mingyue noticed his hesitation and the look he gave her, "Brother Lin, is there something wrong?"

Lin Siyu didn't expect her to speak suddenly, and was choked by saliva for a moment, "Ahem, ahem, no, no, nothing..."

Mingyue sensed something was wrong, and stood in front of Lin Siyu with her hands on her hips, "Second Brother Lin, you are lying, could it be... could it be..."

Her expression changed every time she said "is it possible?"

There are gossipers, curious people, and fearful people...

No matter which one it is, Lin Siyu can't afford it...

"Hey, no, no, no, Auntie, please stop imagining things. I'm just curious and want to ask you..."
