Fatty, please give me a monthly ticket

...

At the end of February, the weather gradually warmed up, but the situation in the Qin Dynasty did not improve at all.⊥, but Ren'an's mansion seemed particularly peaceful in comparison at this time. With the generous wealthy families of the Ji family and the strong suppression of Qi Younian's army, the rebels and bandits in Ren'an's mansion were almost wiped out, and most people could eat food every day.

The food transported by Master Ji San from Nanyang played a decisive role at this time.

Early that morning, Ji Xiaotang became busy.

"Although the kang screen of the rich and rich peony of the rosewood is good, it is not suitable to be placed here." Ji Xiaotang stood in the house in the living yard, watching the girls clean up. "There is a glass kang screen in the warehouse upstairs behind the old lady's yard. You have gone to find it. Let's change this kang screen of the rosewood to the east wing."

"Go to fight someone who is mature and safe, the glass kang screen is the least bumpy." Mrs. Ji Er said on the side. "Thanks to the strictness of the kang screen, it has not been seen by the thieves. Otherwise, even if it was retrieved, I wouldn't be a complete one."

Xie Ziqian rebelled, the Ji family was looted, and almost all the things on the surface were stolen. Although Qi Younian later led people to conduct strict inspections and retrieved most of them, he still lost a lot of things.

After hearing this, Madam Cheng took a few little girls to the warehouse to carry the kang screen.

"Mom, you got up early this morning. After being busy for a long time, let's take a break." Ji Xiaotang looked at one or two more places, then walked back to Mrs. Ji Er and said.

"I'm fine, I'm just tired of you these two days." Mrs. Ji Er said with a smile.

The two of them sat down on the couch, and then a little girl brought hot tea and snacks to serve. Ji Xiaotang had little breakfast for a few days and was busy for a long time. At this time, she was really hungry. She first chose a piece of chestnut cake to serve for Mrs. Ji Er, and then picked a piece of longan pastry by herself and ate it with hot tea.

"I'm not tired either. The most tired one is the nanny." At this time, Madam Cheng just walked back, Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, and while calling Madam Cheng to come and take a break.

Madam Cheng took the little girl to put the glass kang screen in place. She then came over and saluted Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaotang. She sat down on the chair under the couch, picked up the hot tea brought by the little girl.

The one who said that the most tiring was Madam Cheng. It was not Ji Xiaotang's kind words. After all, the one who knows the best of the royal rules here and knows some of the daily life and dislikes of Prince Jing'an is Madam Cheng.

The last time Prince Jing'an suddenly came to the Ji family. The Ji family was not prepared, but this time, Prince Jing'an beat someone in advance and told him that he would live in the Ji Mansion when he went to Qingyuan.

In this case, it would be troublesome for the Ji family. Although Prince Jing'an brought a message and said he didn't want to disturb the master, he would still live in the yard where he lived last time. The Ji family did not have to give up the main courtyard, but the preparations for the living courtyard were not careless at all.

Ji Xiaotang specially found Madam Cheng, started to organize and arrange the living yard. Mrs. Ji also knew that the matter was important and would follow her every day.

As Prince Jing'an, where he could live in Qingyuan, except for the county government office, it was Ji's Mansion. However, Ji Xiaotang would never choose to live in Ji's Mansion if he liked comfort.

However, Ji Xiaotang had already thought through it. Everything has two sides. Qin Zhen lived in the Ji Mansion, which was not completely unhealthy for the Ji family. What she had to do was maximize the benefits and minimize the negative impact.

After having a snack and resting for a while, Ji Xiaotang came out of the upper house and went to the east wing to check. There were three east wings, one made a study room, one made a living room, and the other placed a bed, which could be a temporary resting place.『≤,

There were already some books on the bookshelf in the study room, and two little girls were moving the books to the shelf.

Ji Xiaotang saw Chen Yao and Shen Qi. Chen Qi was called to deliver books by Master Ji Er. He was chosen to do this because he was young and had more books than other servants.

"Have you visited your grandfather today?" Ji Xiaotang called the siblings to his side, "Why are you here to take care of grandfather again?"

Mr. Shen lost his son, his wife and grandson, and was injured, but he refused to come to the Ji family to recuperate. Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji Er to put Chen Yao and Shen Qi back and let them comfort and take care of Mr. Shen.

"Grandpa's injuries have been much better, and he has started to help with the victims. Grandpa doesn't let us take care of him, so let us come back." Chen Yao said politely.

"Grandpa said that if it weren't for the care of the master and the girl, let us hide, I'm afraid we won't live today. The Ji Mansion is our savior. Grandpa asked us to come back and serve the master and the girl." Chen Qi also said.

After surviving the disaster, the pain of bereavement. In just a few days, the siblings seemed to have lost weight, but they became much more mature.

Seeing them like this, Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly and said nothing.

...

The Ji family cleaned up the living yard, and Prince Jing'an and his party arrived in Qingyuan as scheduled.

As a representative of the gentry, Master Ji Er went out of the city with Qi Younian and others for ten miles and brought Prince Jing'an into the city. As soon as Prince Jing'an entered the city, he settled at the Ji family.

After Qin Zhen finished handling all the matters in front, Master Ji Er asked someone to send a message to the back. At this moment, Ji Xiaotang and others had already worn the big clothes for the guests and gathered in Old Mrs. Ji's house. When they heard that Qin Zhen was about to see them, everyone stood up and came out quickly.

Qin Zhen had moved from the study in front to the living yard, and everyone went to the living yard.

Qin Zhen's people have now been replaced inside and outside the living yard. Unlike the past, Qin Zhen got the order and put on a full set of car frames to patrol, and brought all the people who served in close proximity.

A servant came into it and a man with an inner official came out and led everyone up the room.

In the upper room, Qin Zhen sat in a scorched python robe and a jade crown. Next to him was Master Ji Er and Master Ji San accompanied him. Ji Xiaotang and everyone entered the house and hurriedly bowed down to pay their respects.

Qin Zhen smiled and raised his hand, and the inner official stepped forward and helped Old Mrs. Ji up. Then, Mrs. Ji, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun stood up.

"I haven't seen each other for several months, and the old lady's complexion remains the same." Qin Zhen asked everyone to sit down, and his attitude was very amiable. "The traitors were in chaos a few days ago, which scared everyone. Fortunately, there was no danger, otherwise I would regret the death of Xiao Wang."

Qin Zhen now shows his identity. Old Mrs. Ji is not used to such occasions, so he is a little restrained. Whenever he answers, he always says that Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen was not surprised, and he asked someone to bring out a few trays, including gold and jade, dragon head crutches, and various colors of satin, palace flowers, and beads, which were given to the Ji family.

Everyone thanked the reward, and Qin Zhen nodded.

"Xiao Wang has been here and troubled you all. The old lady is old. Let's go back and rest." As he said this, Qin Zhen stood up and went back.

Ji Xiaotang and others came out and all breathed a sigh of relief.∏∈, the official meeting with Prince Yunan ended like this.

When she returned to Mrs. Ji's house, Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaoyun to take her little girl to take off her big clothes.

"I've been so restrained that I've never been used to this in my life." Old Mrs. Ji said as she sat back on the kang, she seemed to relax. She was a little worried again. "How long will the prince stay in our house?"

"Don't worry, grandma." Ji Xiaotang knew what Mrs. Ji was worried about, "No matter how long she stayed, there must be too many things to be busy with. After seeing grandma and having done all her etiquette, how could he have time to see us again."

Old Mrs. Ji was relieved when she heard Ji Xiaotang say this.

"When he came back, I saw that he was very dignified and knew that he must be a noble person. When we met today, although we were still kind to us, I always felt that it seemed like a different person. The demeanor around me must be a dragon, and I am worthy of being a phoenix son and a grandson of dragons." After a pause, Old Mrs. Ji said again, "A person like this has the power of life and death, and only determines a person's life and death. These days, we have to be careful everywhere."

"Don't worry, old lady, we will." Ji Xiaotang had no choice but to say.

...

Ji Xiaotang met Qin Zhen in regular clothes again. It was already the time to light the lights that day.

In the study room of the guesthouse, Qin Zhen sat behind the desk, and the files on the desk were almost piled up like a mountain. In addition to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, Qi Younian was also here.

Ji Xiaotang greeted Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen actually stood up and walked out of the desk, and returned a bow to Ji Xiaotang.

"How dare you take this?" Ji Xiaotang was a little surprised.

"Xiaotang is very worthy of it." Qin Zhen said, "I already know everything. Ren An quelled and the rebels were executed. If it weren't for Xiaotang, it would be a completely different scene now. My court ceremony is not only for me, but also for the people and officials of the court. Thank you Xiaotang."

"I dare not take it anymore." Ji Xiaotang said this, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Qi Younian.

"I didn't say anything." Qi Younian said immediately, "The prince met the victims in the afternoon, and there were many people. Xiaotang's many kind behaviors are as clear as today."

As for the fact that the official army could only obtain the victory of Yingjue Gorge because of Ji Xiaotang's warning, Qi Younian had already passed the news with Qin Zhen.

That was Ji Xiaotang's credit and could not be erased.

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile and asked Ji Xiaotang to sit down on the chair on the side.

"The people all say that Xiaotang is the reincarnation of Guanyin, and some say that Xiaotang is the real body of the snail girl. I have known for a long time that Xiaotang is definitely not an ordinary woman. It turns out that she has such a origin." Qin Zhen's words mean a bit joking.

"The prince is so serious, but she is young. Everyone is just joking about it. How can she bear it, I am afraid that it will be a blessing for her." Master Ji Er stood up quickly and said.

Master Ji San also agreed.

This is the two of them protecting Ji Xiaotang, so Qin Zhen smiled again.

"Even if it's a joke, it can be seen that the people are willing. I have never regarded Xiaotang as an ordinary woman, and Xiaotang doesn't have to use those common principles to avoid it. I'm asking Xiaotang to come today, which is a big deal, so I want to ask Xiaotang to help me discuss it."

In the end, Qin Zhen said that it turned out that he asked Ji Xiaotang to discuss the matter together.

Although he said this, Ji Xiaotang did not agree immediately, only saying that he was young and had little knowledge.

"Although I often talk about things outside with my father and uncle, I just dote on my father and uncle and don't laugh at me."

"Xiaotang is too humble. In my opinion, in this world, you are the only one who laughs at others. Whoever dares to laugh at you is really ignorant." Qin Zhen said.

Qin Zhen's attitude was very sincere. Ji Xiaotang met Master Ji Er again, and Master Ji San and Qi Younian had no other expressions. She thought for a moment, but she did not refuse anymore and sat down on the chair next to her.

This day is just the beginning.

Since then, Qin Zhen has not only invited Ji Xiaotang when discussing things with the Ji brothers and Qi Younian. Even when discussing matters with a group of officials, aides, etc., he will also invite Ji Xiaotang over.

Sometimes, if Qin Zhen has something difficult to solve, he will ask Ji Xiaotang to help him find out if he doesn't call him.

Everyone sat down and Qin Zhen spoke slowly.

"I just read the documents sent by the local government and some notes transferred by the court. The drought this year has not improved at all, and the wheat harvest will be harvested in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid that there will be no harvest by then."

The court originally hoped that the drought would improve. This year, wheat harvest could be harvested, so many problems would be automatically resolved and other problems would be easier to solve.

However, God does not follow people's wishes.

If the drought continues, what kind of situation will happen? No one can predict it. But no one knows that the situation will definitely be very bad.

Food is the biggest problem at present.

What Qin Zhen wanted to discuss with them was this, how could he get more food? Obviously, on this issue, Qin Zhen had high hopes for the Ji family.

"There is no surplus grain in the national treasury, and now the capital officials have almost all the rice they have to be made into white." Qin Zhen told everyone how short of food in the Qin Dynasty has reached. And the grain collected from the people is also a drop in the bucket. The problem cannot be solved at all.

"It's not that there is no food, but that not everyone is like Lord Ji. Although they have food, they refuse to take it out." Qi Younian said.

Most of these people have power and power. The powerful and powerful forces are inextricably linked to the official forces, and the governments in various places cannot do anything to them.

"Wenda transported grain from Nanyang, and this is a great thing. I am afraid he will have to trouble Wenda for a trip." Qin Zhen said. Although he was kind to him, it was equivalent to ordering Master Ji San to go to Nanyang again.

According to Master Ji San's temperament, he had to agree immediately, but at this moment, he did not speak.

Qin Zhen frowned almost invisibly.

"Even if you go to Nanyang, you will have a smooth journey. It will take more than a few months to go back and forth. The distance cannot relieve the near thirst." Ji Xiaotang said.
