After Cui Heng arrived, he said cheerfully: "The Lord of Chang'an County is really considerate of the people! Has she come to the capital? If so, I should pay a visit to her."
"The County Lord did not come to the County Lord's Mansion, he just ordered us to do this." Huang An responded.
"She didn't come?"
Huang An smiled.
She only said that she did not live in the county lord's mansion, but she did not say that she did not come to the capital.
This is all your own understanding and has nothing to do with me.
Cui Heng was a little disappointed when he heard that He Yunxi didn't come. There was a county owner in the area under his jurisdiction, an adopted daughter recognized by the emperor himself, but he didn't even know her identity and appearance.
"How long does it take to make the mung bean soup at the County Lord's Mansion?" he asked.
"What I'm thinking about now is to do it for two months."
Cui Heng was shocked. How many supplies would be consumed in two months?
Does the county government have so much money and mung beans?
He was so surprised that he asked without even noticing.
"Of course it's not enough." Huang An said, "But our county leader said that we only need to take the lead. There will be people behind to help."
Cui Heng didn't know where He Yunxi got his confidence, but this was something outside his scope of responsibility and he couldn't control it.
The people in the city needed relief, and the people outside the city needed porridge, and he was also under great pressure. He really wanted someone to support him. It would be better if the rich people in the city could lend a helping hand.
Here, He Yunxi and Lu Yan learned about what happened at the city gate from Mo Xin. After hearing what Cui Heng said, Lu Yan commented that he was a person suitable for officialdom.
"Master, madam, Mr. Yu wants to see you." Uncle Qiu came in and said.
"It's probably because of Bing's incident, let's go out to meet him," He Yunxi said.
When the two of them went out, Yu Shaoyu was waiting at the second entrance. When he saw them, he immediately walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, did you buy the ice from the county chief's house?"
Seeing him in a hurry, He Yunxi responded: "Yeah, what, is there something wrong with Bing?"
"There is no problem with the ice." Yu Shaoyu said.
"As long as the ice is fine."
"Sister-in-law, this isn't Bing's problem! That's the County Lord's Mansion!" Yu Shaoyu's expression was so complicated that He Yunxi didn't know how to describe it. He was crying and laughing at the same time, so stupid.
"It's the County Lord's Mansion." He Yunxi said, "Don't worry, the ice in the County Lord's Mansion can also be used."
Seeing He Yunxi being so calm, Yu Shaoyu also knew that Bing came from the county lord's house, and his panic calmed down a lot: "Of course I know it can be used. But the question is, does the county lord know about this? The county lord does not live in the county lord's house.
In the house, if those people sell ice secretly and it is known, we will all be unable to eat and carry around."
"Don't worry, the county leader knows. She agreed."
"real?"
He Yunxi nodded: "Of course it's true." She nodded, could it be true?
The panic in Yu Shaoyu's heart was completely gone, and all that was left was curiosity: "Sister-in-law, how did you get to know the people in the County Lord's Mansion? I heard my mother say that they never have contact with outsiders, and people from the city even visit the county seat.
You can’t even get in, let alone buy things from the county owner’s house.”
"Ah, I don't know this person." He Yunxi said, "This is my first time in Fucheng. I don't know anyone here."
Yu Shaoyu thought about it. They had only been in Fucheng for two days, and He Yunxi didn't go out much. How come he knew the people in the county lord's house and was able to get them to agree to sell ice.
He looked at Lu Yan, who said: "There is someone in the County Lord's Mansion whom I knew before, and we have a pretty good relationship with him."
No wonder.
Yu Shaoyu lamented: "The County Lord's Mansion is like an iron barrel, no one can get involved. I didn't expect that our family can still use the ice from the County Lord's Mansion."
He Yunxi couldn't laugh or cry: "This is worthy of your sigh."
"Of course." Yu Shaoyu said, "If we want to say who is the most mysterious in our Daliang Kingdom, of course it has to be the head of Chang'an County. No one knows who she is, and no one knows what she looks like. Who else is she mysterious?
We don’t date her either. Moreover, she is the adopted daughter of the emperor and has an extraordinary status. Everyone is eager to get in touch with her. Someone even made a bet before."
"What to bet on?"
"Bet among the big families in our city, who can meet the county lord first?"
He Yunxi: "..." Haha.
Seeing that He Yunxi didn't believe it, Yu Shaoyu continued: "It's true. So you don't know how shocked my mother was when she got the ice in the morning. She wanted to come over and ask me what happened."
"How did your mother know that this ice belongs to the county lord's palace?" Lu Yan asked.
"The person who delivered the ice today is from the County Lord's Mansion. My mother happened to see him entering the County Lord's Mansion before." Yu Shaoyu said, "The fact that ice can be used in the summer is related to the County Lord's Mansion. Apart from the County Lord's Mansion,
How could the ice in my house come from somewhere?"
He Yunxi understood that this was really a coincidence.
But she didn't really care about this.
It's not like you can't interact with people in the County Lord's Mansion. It's just that you don't have anything to do with her.
"Brother Lu, sister-in-law, my mother heard about the county government building curtains and giving mung bean soup to the refugees. She wants to work with the county government to help. Is it possible?" Yu Shaoyu said with a blushing face.
He was very embarrassed, thinking that his mother just wanted to get close to the county government and beat the snake with a stick. But her mother's mission was something she still wanted to say even if she was embarrassed.
"Why do you want to work with the county government? Wouldn't it be better for the Yu family to do it themselves?" He Yunxi asked.
"My mother also wanted to go over and give porridge to help the people outside. But later she was targeted by other families." Yu Shaoyu lamented, "Those people didn't want to contribute money, so they didn't want our family to contribute money. It's okay for one family and two families.
, this was too much, and our family couldn’t bear it, so we had to withdraw.”
He Yunxi and Lu Yan were both a little surprised that such a thing happened?
"Is this an official watching them do this?"
"They are led by the Liu family. As you know, the Liu family and Wen Tongzhi are one family. Other families saw the Liu family like this and were unwilling to contribute money and effort, so they followed suit."
"This Wen Tongzhi family is really causing trouble everywhere!" He Yunxi snorted coldly.
The housekeeper wanted to take action against the Li family before. At first, he wanted to steal all the Li family's black bean sauce. Later, he wanted to pretend to eat their black bean sauce for four people. However, Song Jiang and others stopped him.
After coming down. After failing twice in a row, he knew that the Li family was not just ordinary farmers like they seemed on the surface.
He reported this back. Wen Tongzhi knew that Lu Yan would attend Qiu Wei this year, so he planned to deal with them on this, completely cutting off the roots of the Li family and the Lu family, so he asked him to bring his people back.
He Yunxi and Lu Yan knew that the housekeeper had left with someone, and before they came to Fucheng to cause trouble for Wen Tongzhi, they heard about their troubles first.
