Ning Pengpeng wanted to reach out and touch the other person's head like before.
However, he quickly retracted his hand.
"Your Highness Taisun, the etiquette cannot be discarded.
Also, my wife dare not be called grandmother."
Ning Pengpeng calmed down and said to Zhao Jingrui solemnly.
After all, if word spread that I, an old country woman, had once been the grandmother of His Highness, it would not be a good thing for His Highness.
When Zhao Jingrui heard Ning Pengpeng's words, his body stiffened involuntarily.
He has been smart since he was a child, so he naturally understands what Ning Pengpeng means.
While I felt uncomfortable, I also felt like I couldn't help but feel warm.
Grandma is still the same grandmother, always hard-spoken and soft-hearted, for his own good.
After all, if Ning Pengpeng was more selfish, with his great grandson calling her grandmother, the Ning family could have gone sideways in the capital.
Zhao Jingrui withdrew his hand that was originally intended to help Ning Pengpeng stand up, put it behind his back, squeezed his fist hard, calmed down, and said warmly.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Grand Sun."
Ning Pengpeng bowed respectfully, then stood up, half-lowering his head, not looking directly at Zhao Jingrui.
"You... Shouning County Lord, are you okay with your trip to Beijing?"
Zhao Jingrui was indeed a member of the royal family and quickly calmed down his emotions.
"Back to Your Majesty Taisun, everything is fine with my wife and my family.
However, when my wife came to Beijing, she passed by Namuyuan County and was entrusted by the magistrate of Muyuan County to bring to His Majesty the account books of local corruption and bribery that he had investigated over the years.
In addition, Luo'an County, not far from the capital, encountered floods and the entire Luo'an County was submerged.
Although the magistrate of Luo'an County evacuated the people.
However, those livestock cannot be taken away in time, and my wife is worried that there may be an epidemic after the flood.
I hope Your Majesty Taisun will make plans in advance."
After Ning Pengpeng answered Zhao Jingrui's question, she told him all the main reasons why she came to see him this time.
Zhao Jingrui originally thought he would be very happy to see his grandmother whom he had not seen for a long time.
But after hearing what Ning Pengpeng said and looking at the account books she presented, he flipped through them and became furious.
In Pingyao Prefecture, the officials from top to bottom are colluding, and no one is not greedy.
And why didn't Luo'an County and Futai in Qingzhou Prefecture report the floods?
Below, how many other state capitals are they hiding from the imperial court or themselves?
"Thank you Lord Shouning County for traveling all the way to escort these account books to the capital. I will definitely get to the bottom of it."
Zhao Jingrui pursed his lips and assured Ning Pengpeng.
When Ning Pengpeng told His Highness Taisun what had happened, he felt as if a big stone had been lifted off his shoulders, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Because she knew that His Highness Taisun would definitely be busy if she told these two things.
Therefore, she quickly said goodbye and left the residence of His Highness the Grand Sun.
"Go check it out. If it's true, no one will be spared.
If anyone resists, they will be killed on the spot without mercy."
Zhao Jingrui called someone over and gritted his teeth with an angry look on his face.
"yes."
The men responded and went down.
The eunuch who was serving came in and whispered back.
"Your Highness, the Lord of Shouning County has left!"
"I've sent someone there. If anyone brings trouble to the Ning Mansion, remember to report it in time."
Hearing His Highness Taisun's words, the serving eunuch's heart skipped a beat. He was very glad that he didn't look down on others just now.
It seems that the Lord of Shouning County has won the heart of His Highness Taisun.
"Besides, I'd like to invite you, sir, to have a chat with me."
If the incident in Pingyao Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion is true, I am afraid that the imperial court will be in turmoil.
The current plan, in addition to sending people to verify these things, he also had to discuss with his husband how to punish these corrupt officials honestly.
His Highness Taisun sent someone to invite him, and Pei Yan came very quickly.
"I'm afraid we have to ask General Feng to take action."
After hearing what His Highness Taisun said, Pei Yan frowned and then said.
When Zhao Jingrui heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
He was actually grateful to General Feng in his heart.
However, there are too many people in the imperial court who are looking towards the Feng family.
If the Feng family is allowed to dominate, he will probably be under control even after he ascends the throne.
When the time comes, he will inevitably be on the opposite side of General Feng, which is definitely not what he wants to see.
"I also understand what Your Highness is worried about.
It’s just that there is really no one available in the imperial court now.”
If it's something else, we can send some neutral people there.
But these two things, no matter which one they are, are not suitable for people who are worried.
At least now, General Feng's loyalty to His Highness is evident.
Zhao Jingrui naturally knew what Pei Yan said.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed.
If General Feng accomplishes these two things, how to reward him will become a difficult problem.
Ning Pengpeng didn't know that he had left a hot potato to His Highness Taisun. After coming out of His Highness Taisun's mansion, he asked the carriage to go directly to his pearl shop.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Boss Ning greeting the guests.
When he saw her coming, he was about to say hello, but Ning Pengpeng waved his hand, indicating that he would greet the guests first, and then he started walking around in the shop.
The decoration and decoration of the pearl shops in the capital here are obviously much better than those in Mingzhou Prefecture and Nanyue Prefecture.
Naturally, there are many ladies coming and going.
Ning Pengpeng looked at the waiter in the shop. He was very busy and felt a little overwhelmed when entertaining people.
But if we recruit more people, the gains outweigh the losses.
Ning Pengpeng observed a cup of tea before Boss Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and came over to greet his mother upstairs.
"The service in our shop seems to be unable to keep up!"
After entering the private room and before sitting down, Ning Pengpeng said to the point.
"Mom, my son really has nothing to do.
How about recruiting some more people, what do you think?"
Boss Ning brought the teapot over, poured Ning Pengpeng a cup of tea, placed it in front of her, and then asked cautiously.
After hearing this, Ning Pengpeng shook her head.
“Although the flow of people is indeed much higher than that of Mingzhou Prefecture and Nanyue Prefecture.
However, it has not gone so far as to recruit extra people to the shop.
Moreover, there are too many waiters in the shop, and there will be a lot of people talking, which makes our shop look noisy, which is too classy."
When he heard that his proposal was rejected, Boss Ning's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon.
"Although we don't need to recruit people, there are other ways to receive those guests."
Ning Pengpeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, put it down with some disgust, and said to Boss Ning.
"Another way?
Mom, what’s the other way?”
Boss Ning was a little confused. If we didn't recruit people, what other way could we make so many guests in the shop feel at home?
However, my mother must have a reason for saying so.
