Chapter 104: Immediate Success
As soon as Li Yu started talking, she couldn't stop talking.
It can be seen that I was holding back my energy in the past.
Linlang listened quietly to his useless nonsense, occasionally throwing out a sentence or two to catch some key information.
"Brother Li, I heard that all members of the Xie family are military generals. Isn't that mansion very big?"
"The Xie family? Oh, it's on the long street in the north. There's a century-old pine and cypress at the gate. It's just like that. It's far behind compared to the He family."
Li Yu shook his head and said.
"And this one...the fourth son of their family was born with cold legs, which makes it difficult for him to walk. I heard that he always lives in the most remote courtyard. He probably can't even take a move from me. How did he become such a big man?"
General?"
North Street...Pine and Cypress...
Linlang lowered her eyebrows and silently wrote it down.
There was just the right amount of worry on his face.
"By the way, Brother Li, when I first came here, I almost bumped into a grandma pushing a cart. It was full of leftovers. She won't settle the score with me later, right?"
"The one pushing the leftovers?" Li Yu waved her hand disdainfully and said, "That's Aunt Yu, she's just pouring swill to feed the pigs, what else can she do?"
"Feed the pigs?"
"No, this old woman is very smart, and she knows how to calculate carefully. Her husband's family raises pigs outside, and they rely on the leftovers shipped out of the palace every day, secretly keeping some to feed their own pigs."
Although Li Yu said he was disgusted, his expression looked a little envious.
"Brother Li actually knows this?" The little girl opened her round, almond-shaped eyes, filled with surprise and admiration.
"That's right, don't even look at who I am!"
Eucalyptus plum is very useful.
For a moment I felt even more elated.
"I not only know that her family raises pigs, but I also know that her pigs are raised in a newly built civilian tile-roofed house next to the flower building. Her man is very old, and he still goes to the flower building to listen to ditties every day."
Speaking of this, his face became obviously more envious.
Linlang twitched the corners of her mouth.
After hearing this, I really didn’t know whether to praise him or gossip.
"What about the others? Are the other swills also used to feed the pigs?"
"Of course, but those are just for the palace masters." Li Yu is good at this kind of gossip.
"The place is in that slum. Those beggars who have no arms or legs are employed to do the menial work of raising pigs and growing vegetables. I don't know what your Majesty thinks, but you have to waste money on beggars."
Linlang was silent.
She is just an ordinary person and does not understand the policies of governing the country. But she can still judge whether it is beneficial to the people.
After confirming the location.
Linlang just found an excuse to leave.
Behind her, Li Yu waved to her with a still unfinished expression.
"Little girl, remember to bring more bags next time!"
Linlang slapped her forehead hard.
Next time?
It is a serious crime for a palace maid to have an affair with a guard.
If it weren't for the purpose of gathering information this time, she wouldn't want her ears to suffer like this.
Damn, she is more nagging than an old woman!
As soon as I returned, the little maid guarding the door happily came in carrying a food box.
"Sister Linlang! Sister Danju from Huanxi Palace just sent this to you, saying that it was given to you by Empress Luo Bin!"
"Have a look and see what good stuff it is." Before Linlang could take over the hand, Piaoyu next to him couldn't wait to squeeze forward and opened it.
But unexpectedly, there were only thirty-five neat chestnut cakes inside, each with a picture of instant success printed on it with a mold.
Linlang put down the melon gourd he had just picked up, and his expression returned to calmness from the ferocious look for a moment.
Now that it has risen to the surface, there is nothing there.
