Chapter 65 Ning’er is so courageous

Xiao Yu: "..."

【Am I short of steamed buns? Huh?】

Jiang Youning continued to comfort her: "Look, when you return to Jinling, you can still show off to Prince Jing and Princess Jing."

When Xiao Yu thinks of his mother and concubine, she should be very happy!

His face improved a little, "I'm going to take a bath, I'm tired and hungry."

Xiao Yu walked out on two legs that were weak from overuse.

Xie Jing also went to take a bath.

When having dinner, Jiang Youning looked at Xiao Yu across from him, devouring his food as if he hadn't eaten in several days.

[The young prince has probably never had such a delicious meal in his life. 】

Xie Jing raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yu. Instead of just gobbling it up, she almost poured a bowl of rice into her stomach.

Xiao Yu felt less hungry after eating a bowl of rice, and his eating speed also slowed down. He said with emotion: "Reincarnation is really a technical job. I would like to thank my mother for giving birth to me in the palace."

After that, I took another bite of the meatballs, they were so delicious.

Jiang Youning agreed very much with Xiao Yu's words. Reincarnation is indeed a technical job.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

It was extremely cold tonight. Jiang Youning instinctively leaned towards the big stove. The warmth against the stove made people want to get closer.

Xie Jing was not asleep, so he knew how Jiang Youning came closer to her little by little.

He looked sideways and saw half of her head exposed, with her nose below the quilt. She was so petite that she couldn't tell even if she was sleeping next to her.

Suddenly it started pouring rain outside the window, the sound was loud enough to wake people up.

But the people around him were still sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up.

He didn't sleep but was waiting to see if it would rain tonight.

Now it turns out that Jiang Youning's dreams are all prophetic, and he can know what will happen in advance.

Fortunately she reminded him, otherwise he would have led his soldiers to attack the bandits' den at night.

With such heavy rain, one can imagine how serious the consequences would be.

The rain has no intention of stopping. It is a good thing that it finally rains after a drought for so long.

The next day, Jiang Youning came out of the back room and heard someone talking outside.

"The hussar general is really powerful. Fortunately, we didn't attack the bandits' den at night last night. Otherwise, the rain last night would probably have damaged our troops and generals."

"Yes, the hussar general had the foresight to reduce losses. I have to admire him."

"It rained all night, and the water in the pond and lake is half full. If General Hussar hadn't suggested it yesterday, it would have been too late."

Xie Jing lowered her eyes and glanced at Jiang Youning. She just raised her head and their eyes met.

The former's eyes were so dark that he could not see the bottom at a glance.

The latter's almond-shaped eyes are curved, like stars, clear and bright.

"Go have breakfast."

Xie Jing withdrew her gaze and walked in.

Jiang Youning followed happily.

Perhaps the drought has lasted for too long and it rained all morning.

It cleared up the next day.

Xie Jing discussed with the generals how to suppress bandits.

Jiang Youning and Xiao Yu walked around outside the city and learned from the victims that many people had died in this drought.

This was the first time that Xiao Yu knew that a severe drought could kill so many people, and his handsome face could no longer express the shock on his face.

"Didn't the imperial court allocate funds for disaster relief before?"

"Where can we find any money for disaster relief? Alas!" The woman's face was filled with vicissitudes of life, and her eyes were cloudy and had long since lost their former sparkle.

Xiao Yu was speechless for a while.

On the way back, Jiang Youning and Xiao Yu both looked a little heavy.

After entering the city, the streets were not as lively as before.

Jiang Youning opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside. There was a man in his forties, holding a little girl. The girl was wearing coarse clothes and her face was very clean.

Although she is not a beauty, she is well-behaved and pretty, making her a standout girl among ordinary people.

At first she understood what the man was doing by pulling the girl, until she saw an old man looking the girl up and down, and groping her body with his hands without scruples, as if inspecting her.

The girl was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Jiang Youning suddenly realized what he was doing.

"Stop the car quickly."

Xiao Yu didn't know why, so he still asked Leng Xiao to stop the carriage.

After it stopped, Jiang Youning jumped off the carriage and walked towards the girl.

Xiao Yu also came over, "Ning'er, what are you doing?"

Jiang Youning did not answer. She came to the girl and said to Xiao Yu: "I want to buy her."

Xiao Yu looked confused.

The man looked up and down at Jiang Youning, who was wearing silk and brocade fox fur. He knew at a glance that she was a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Miss, I want five liters of rice."

Jiang Youning secretly calculated that five liters of rice equals ten kilograms. She agreed readily, "I want it."

Xiao Yu understood that Jiang Youning wanted to buy a maid, and he was very happy, "I bought it."

Xiao Yu bought the rice with money. He had never bought rice before, so he didn't realize that the price of rice was five times the usual price.

When the man got the rice, the hybrid's eyes immediately lit up, and he turned around and left in a hurry.

On the way back, Xiao Yu looked at the little girl for a few times. She was about the same age as Jiang Youning. Her face was yellow and skinny from hunger, and she was sitting there shivering.

"Ning'er, she is so timid."

Jiang Youning took out a piece of peach cake from his pocket and handed it to the girl, "Are you hungry? This is for you."

The girl looked at the peach cake in front of her, swallowed the water with difficulty, carefully reached out her hand, picked up the peach cake, and couldn't wait to put it into her mouth, took a big bite, and devoured it.

The peach cake is so fragrant that it is a fatal temptation for people who have been hungry for a long time.

Jiang Youning saw her eating and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl's mouth was filled with peach cakes, she chewed them quickly and wrote down, "Xinghua."

Jiang Youning nodded, "I will give you two ways. One is to let you go home, the other is to follow me. I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing."

Xinghua's chewing movements slowed down, and after hesitating for a while, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Youning, "I am willing to follow you, miss. I don't want to go back. Even if you let me go, my father will still sell me."

Xiao Yu was very angry after hearing this, "How can anyone exchange their daughter for food?"

Buying and selling daughters is nothing new in ancient times. Selling money for food, let alone in the face of natural and man-made disasters?

Jiang Youning still has some understanding of these.

"Then follow me back to Jinling."

Xinghua said excitedly: "I will go wherever the lady goes."

When Xie Jing led people to suppress the bandits, Jiang Youning and Xiao Yu walked around the street several times and bought ten girls, all of whom were sallow and thin and looked like teenagers.

Xiao Yu was taken advantage of, and every time he bought one, he would pay out of pocket.

He looked at the ten malnourished girls in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "Ning'er, why did you buy so many girls?"

"Of course it's useful." Jiang Youning looked at the ten people in front of him and said it was enough.

Xiao Yu looked confused, what's the use of so many young and beautiful girls?

He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He leaned into her ear and asked, "Ning'er, you don't want to open a Gou Lan Courtyard, do you?"

Good night, babies!

December is hot, a new beginning.
