Chapter 197 Make up your mind
"I like it too, Miss, this is so beautiful!" Xuan Ling looked around like a little fool.
Bai Zhi looked at her with a smile and helped to move things. They quickly divided the rooms. The house was so clean that it looked like it had just been cleaned. Bai Zhi went to make the bed for Wen Jiu and was about to check on the stove. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen was already busy inside.
"Miss Baizhi, I'll do it. I wanted to take a look, but I didn't expect the people here to leave a note saying that the things were just bought this morning and I can use them without worry. I asked the young lady, and she said it was okay, so I prepared to cook." Jiang Chen smiled foolishly
"Then I'll help you prepare the food. You two need to be quick, as the masters are hungry." Bai Zhi rolled up her sleeves and chatted and laughed with Jiang Chen while busy in the kitchen. Qing Hu, who passed by and inspected every corner, saw them.
This girl talks and laughs with others, but she always cries in front of me. Isn’t her smile very beautiful?
"Wine"
"Brother, second brother, come in quickly, is there anything missing in the room?" Wen Jiu looked at the two of them.
"Everything is ready. Ah San is packing. I..." Su Jinyu hesitated to speak.
"Brother, please close the door. If you have anything to say, come in and talk." Wen Jiu looked at Su Jinmu.
"Okay." He pushed Su Jinyu in first and closed the door.
"I know what you want to ask, big brother. This house was purchased by Xiao Jue in advance. I think it suits the two brothers' wishes." Wen Jiu pushed all the wine to Xiao Jue. Anyway, he would help him cover it.
"The prince is very thoughtful. Not only does he have a great living environment, he even took my wheelchair into consideration. I just took a look around and found that every door railing had been sawed off, and even the stairs were made into a slope, making it easy to go up and down. I must thank him when I return to Beijing." Su Jinyu admired Xiao Jue's attentiveness.
"You're welcome. I gave you the silver," Wen Jiu refused him.
"That's something you should thank me for, it's a matter of reciprocity. I'll give you the money when the time comes to compensate you for using your brain." Su Jinyu smiled warmly.
"By the way, it's still early. Why do we have to go back to this house first instead of going to the county government office?"
"Let's settle down first, it won't be too late to go later. We should also eat something. We can let Asan and Qinghu go out in disguise to find out the people's attitude towards the government. Originally, I wanted to do a business, but I think we can't use our name. But don't worry, I already have a plan." Wen Jiu said mysteriously
"You are so clever. I think the imperial edict must have been sent to all the prefectures when it first came down. If you want to investigate something, you can't do business. They must have received the news and taken precautions. But they have arranged people in advance. What kind of business are you doing? You will lose money if you do business here." Su Jinyu looked at her. What on earth is in this sister's head? It seems that she can solve everything. She looks confident. She is a little naughty, but very cute.
"You won't lose money, trust me, it will be fine." Wen Jiu looked out the window, and the drizzle was hitting the peach blossoms.
"Okay, then tell us what else you have planned."
"It's still early in May and it's still in time to plant rice. We should wait for them to find out more, issue the information, and then plant rice. When there are trapworms, the government will help catch them in the fields, and they can get three copper coins for every pound they catch," Wen Jiu said, taking out a pen and writing it down.
"Are you sure you want them to grab three copper coins per pound?" Su Jinmu asked, then took out his purse and gave it to Wen Jiu.
"Brother, I have money. You can catch it when the time comes. I'll give you three copper coins, okay?" Wen Jiu smiled and pushed Su Jinmu's hand away
"I don't want money. When my brother is not busy, I will help you for free." Su Jinmu scratched his head and said
"That's what you said," Wen Jiu tilted his head as if to confirm.
"Um"
"Jiu'er, can you tell me what you are going to do with all this?" Su Jinyu was afraid that Wenjiu would not be able to finish catching all the wine, otherwise it would not have overflowed for so long. Giving money all the time was probably not a long-term solution...
"Cook and eat" warm wine and tell the truth
But they didn't believe her and thought she was joking, so they didn't ask any more questions.
"I will dress as a man when I go out in the future, so it will be more convenient for me. As the Crown Prince's Consort appointed by the Emperor, I only need to show up occasionally. I am just saying hello to you in advance," Wen Jiu seemed to be prepared.
She was waiting to have a look at the pier after dinner to see if the rivers and seas here were so developed, and whether it was really like the coastal areas in her previous life, with so much seafood. Maybe there were some delicious foods that they didn't know about waiting for her to discover.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Xuan Ling came over and knocked on the door
"Okay, big brother and second brother, let's go eat something. I have something to do later."
"What are you going to do? Your second brother and I will go with you. I will also disguise myself so that no one will recognize me." Su Jinyu was afraid that she was unfamiliar with the place.
"No need, you should rest here well. They will tell you when they come back with the news." Wen Jiu didn't want Su Jinyu to take such a risk as soon as they arrived. What if, what if she was recognized?
"You are worried about us, and so are we. You can wait until we come back to hear the news. We and your second brother will pretend to be servants who are doing the shopping and stick on beards. At least you will be by my side, and I will not let you be in any danger. Okay?" Su Jinyu was a little anxious. He also knew that although his sister looked weak, most of the decisions she made could not be reversed.
Wen Jiu looked at their eyes full of love and anxiety for their loved ones, which made her feel relieved for a moment.
"Master, you don't need to worry so much. You are new here. I have some good disguise tools for you. Take care and no one will recognize you. As the county magistrate, he is also going to visit incognito. Nothing can give you more authority than seeing it with your own eyes, right?"
"You agree? I'm just a little worried."
"Master, your overprotection is not necessarily a good thing. Everything has to go through, and this is also a test for him. Besides, they grew up in the Northwest Army Camp. Don't you believe in them?"
"Yes, big brother, your gentle and elegant appearance always makes people think of a weak scholar. Okay, I think you are convinced. Let's go and see if there are any delicacies that the people here haven't discovered and make some money."
"Yeah, Master is the best"
"Don't think I don't know your purpose of wanting them to see it. It's nothing more than to make them more sympathetic to the people. If I can't bear it, will I help? Merit is a good thing. I will not forget it. Don't worry!"
"........."
The two of them were still looking at her. She smiled helplessly and said "OK", and the three of them laughed heartily.
The three of them walked towards the dining room. They had already brought the dishes and were waiting for them. The round table was filled with food. All the ingredients were fresh local seafood. Jiang Chen's cooking skills were very good, and the dishes looked very good.
"Come on, sit down and have a taste." The glutton in my stomach was already rumbling as I was drinking the wine.
Several people sat down, warmed the wine and tasted the fish first. The taste was not good, with a little earthy smell. It seemed that either their cooking skills had declined, or they didn't know how to remove the fishy smell. Could it be that the restaurant was also like this? I had to try it for dinner. If that was the case, I would have made a fortune.
"Miss, what are you laughing at?" Xuan Ling asked, and several people looked at her.
