Concubine Raiders: Rebirth As a Queen

Chapter 112: Handmaid injured

Mother Gui's conscientious teaching, and achievements in the past few months, Shen Shenyin and Ye Qiu Ni were also very happy, and gave Mother Gui a big red envelope.

That afternoon, the snow outside was still very heavy, but the hundreds of servants and maidservants of Shen Shu Mansion cleaned the snow in time. It didn't seem to be very serious. Several girls were quietly practicing calligraphy.

It is most taboo for a woman to get married. It is unlucky if the cats, cats, dogs and dogs at home make a noise a few days before the marriage, or if someone smashes a plate, so the prime minister's house is very cautious.

Everything makes the Prime Minister's Mansion seem so calm.

"Qinghe, why is it so cold in the room?" Shen Changbi shook off the pen, turned to the handmaid standing aside and asked.

Green Lotus blessed the body, opened a door, and walked to the small compartment where Yuxiangzhai took off his shawl to shake the snow, or waited for the pass to pass.

"Miaoling, you guys, go bring in two more heaters." Qinghe's voice came from outside.

In Yuxiangzhai, there are only close-knit maids. In order to keep quiet, don't be cluttered.

"I heard that someone in Beijing opened a shantang?" Shen Weijie asked casually, "It's a kind person."

Shen Lingyang smiled, "It's not that simple."

Shen Weijie looked at Shen Lingyang suspiciously, "Elder sister, do you know? Tell me what's going on."

Shen Qingrong was also very interested. At such a critical moment, I don’t know how long the plague and the heavy snow will last. Who is willing to take out something, "Then what if the person doesn’t have enough home at the end? He should be a rich man, right? !"

Shen Changbi picked up the pen again, and smiled, "Hehe, don't you know that? Hey, it's really pitiful to say that there are many people in the capital who have no money to eat, and they can take three meals of rice porridge for free. Dad said, ah, there are already. The officials found out that many papers were handed over every day, and he was ready to present them to the emperor."

Shen Anyan remained silent, but just smiled silently. Where did so many officials take to the streets together and walked to a remote place to see the shantang; how could so many officials hear which women at home make irresponsible remarks?

Eighty percent is someone arranged by Yin Chenlang himself, or intentionally let others see it.

Shen Lingyang also sighed and said, "You don't know, now the price of food outside is soaring, more than tenfold, and many people starve to death on the street, but after the appearance of the shantang, the situation has improved a lot. That's it."

Shen Lingyang thought for a while, turned his head to look at Shen Changbi, and asked, "But I'm thinking, who is so rich? If you keep driving like this, Jinshan Yinshan will send him a benevolence."

Shen Qingrong's eyes lit up, "So what I said is right, it must be a rich and noble home! If you can enter the home of that kind of person..."

"Heh." Shen Lingyang said softly, snorting.

Shen Changbi also smiled and said, "People like you are really low-demand, but that's right. Isn't it all right if you have money and don't die from starvation? It's a waste for you to have more things."

"You!" Shen Qingrong was furious, gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Changbi.

"Okay, Changbi." Shen Lingyang stopped, "Besides, cherish the life in front of you, don't be angry and complain, look at the poor people in the shantang, and the people in the quarantine area, how poor they and their families are. People who starve to death on the street, hope that in the next life they can be reborn in a wealthy house and stop dying on the street."

The blizzard outside the house is still raging, and I don't know how many people have been frozen.

Yin Chenlang said that some people in the market are constantly raising the price of rice. As much as he invests in as many rice farms as he invests, there will be people who quickly acquire them, and they will eat them all at one go, meaning a monopoly.

You can’t do business from official positions. There are not many relatives in Yin Chenlang’s party who do business. For example, Lin Xiuye’s family must be a special case. It was not easy to find a relative’s family to open a rice shop, but the result was not very useful. .

From his point of view, I am afraid that everyone in the black market has already agreed to send a sum of "national disaster wealth" together, take it in, and sell it at the uniform price set by the black market.

Although Yin Chenlang had a lot of food and grass, he couldn't manage the entire black market, and the emperor was also very troubled.

The current practice of Yin Chenlang is to double the price of rice in the rice village as the black market. This method really surprised the rice merchants in the black market. However, the rice village controlled by Yin Chenlang issued an announcement guaranteeing that, as long as Whenever there is money, there are rice. The rice merchants in the black market do not control much rice at all. Finding more rice merchants will not work, because there are a lot of rich people in Beijing, but very few rice.

As far as Shen Anyan knows, he will definitely tell Yin Chenlang. As far as Shen Anyan knows, Shen Shenyin bought a hundred shi in that rice house. Shen Shenyin already owns the land in his hand and rents it to farmers to collect grain.

It is absolutely impossible for any businessman in the black market to give a hundred shi to one person at one go, and the price is so expensive and so heavy that he can buy it in one go.

But Shen Shenyin is right. Food is the most important thing. Besides, if you don't buy it now just in case, it may be more expensive in the future, and you haven't bought it yet.

Many people understand this truth well, and Yin Chenlang makes a lot of money.

One person can eat one stone of rice for about three months. With so many servants in the prime minister's house, plus the rice that collects taxes, it will survive the dark months without any problems.

For Shen Anyan, the time is known, but for everyone, it is an unknown disaster.

"Sister Qinghe! Qinghe..."

Shen Lingyang and the others were still talking, and there was a roar outside the door.

Shen Changbi couldn't hold his pen firmly, and the ink splashed.

"Ah!" Shen Changbi yelled, jumped away instantly, holding his skirt, frowning and looking at Mo Dian.

When Shen Yingqing saw Shen Changbi's ugly appearance, she laughed out loud, Shen Anyan laughed silently, in exchange for Shen Changbi's two eyes.

"Changbi, don't yell." Shen Lingyang found out and reminded in a low voice.

Shen Changbi frowned and nodded, then looked out the door.

The screaming maid did not stand in Chuantong Pavilion, but directly opened the door with a "bang" and entered the place where they were studying. Almost panting.

"What are you doing! How decent are you! Running around inside the mansion, rushing in without an announcement, look at my dress, do you, an unruly slave and maid, know how expensive it is?" To be honest, Shen Changbi wore it today. My clothes are newly made, and it’s getting colder recently. When it started to snow, my mother asked me to cut two thicker clothes to keep warm. Several tailors made this one for a month, but today I wear it. The first day.

It also made Shen Changbi ugly, and Shen Changbi scolded Shen Yingqing and Shen Anyan, and he couldn't make such a bad breath without scolding.

Shen Changbi paced in front of the maidservant, and the maid saw Shen Changbi approaching, her legs trembled in fright, and stammered, "Second...Second little...Sister, you listen...Listen to the maidservant...that's it..."

With a "pop", I saw a red palm print on the maid's face, and all five fingers were clearly printed on her face.

Shen Changbi put his hands away, flicked his sleeves, raised his head proudly, and said, "If you make a mistake, don't you kneel down? A stupid thing who doesn't know the etiquette!"

The maid knelt down in tears and stammered about something. After making a few noises, she was kicked down by Shen Changbi without a complete sentence.

"My lady will go back and change this dress right away. You can wash it now! Just wash it with water from the snow melted outside. When will it be cleaned, you can't see any ink spots, so you are allowed to stop. Otherwise, you are not allowed to leave." Shen Changbi finished viciously, then looked up at Qinghe, and added, "Remember, you should find someone to supervise her, and no one is allowed to deliver meals or rest!"

Shen Anyan raised her head and looked at the farce. The handmaid knelt on the ground, her face covered with tears, she cried thinly, and said something vaguely.

Shen Anyan glanced at Shen Changbi again, Shen Changbi didn't seem to be depressed at all. She just told her to go down, don't do it. The pampered girl didn't understand anything, she didn't know how painful and tiring it was. The handmaid was so numb to wash her hands that she was frozen to death, and she might not be able to wash it clean. To be continued. Please browse for a better reading experience.
