When she heard Pang Xiao's question, Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat. However, she had always been calm in the face of danger. She only needed to analyze Pang Xiao's expression to know that he was not here to denounce her. His gaze was so focused that it was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
Qin Yining said shyly, "Since the gentlemen want to hear it, I naturally have to go out with you."
"Okay. Help your master wear an extra cloak. It's very windy outside. "
"Okay!" Ji Yun and Bing Tang immediately went to open the suitcase and help Qin Yining change.
Pang Xiao admired the beauty changing while chatting with her. "Are you tired of staying at home? If you don't like it, I'll take you out to play another day. "
"Okay. It's just that the rain hasn't stopped. Even if we go out to play, we won't be able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. "
Pang Xiao sighed.
Qin Yining put on the cloak and went forward to hold Pang Xiao's arm. "Let's go."
The moment they went out, they saw Mu Jinghu drinking tea in the outer room.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I asked them to prepare black chicken soup. Let's eat it together tonight."
"Okay." Mu Jinghu readily agreed.
The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked forward. Qin Yining was afraid that her embroidered shoes would get wet, so she wore a pair of wooden clogs over her embroidered shoes. The clogs made a clacking sound as she walked. Pang Xiao felt very comfortable even when he heard her footsteps. It was as if her footsteps were stepping on his heart.
When they reached the front, the few of them greeted each other and sat down according to their status. Xie Yue was more familiar with Qin Yining, so she smiled and asked, "Princess Consort, did you buy food from Sitong Shop?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Yes. Wang Ye was searching for fugitives, and I thought that with Zhong Yibo's personality, he wouldn't allow anyone to challenge his authority. Therefore, I guessed that if he wasn't satisfied, he would use some method to deal with us. "
"So Princess Consort guessed that he would control the grain?"
Qin Yining nodded. "Not only that, I'm thinking that since their family can sell official positions and titles, they might even make money from the national disaster to drive up the price of rice. So I thought, whether I guessed correctly or not, the price of food in the future will definitely not be like this. It's not a big deal to take precautions early. "
She looked at Pang Xiao with her bright eyes, as if asking for Pang Xiao's opinion.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Thanks to your god-like foresight, we failed to buy the army rations today."
"Really? Then we can use this batch of food as a substitute. "
Huzi laughed and said, "Princess Consort, it's all thanks to you that we are able to eat now. When the brothers find out later, they will definitely be grateful to you."
"I just guessed correctly. I won't pay for the food. Your Wang Ye is still in charge of your food."
Qin Yining took away all the credit, causing everyone present to laugh.
Pang Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Don't worry, how could I be greedy for your money? I should be the one taking the money. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't just buy a small amount of food for everyone in the fu to eat. I also bought a lot of food through Manager Yin of the Four-Way Shop. It's just that it's a long journey, so it can't be transported over in a short time. "
Pang Xiao smiled and sighed as she shook her head. "You're so thoughtful."
Xie Yue said, "Princess Consort has been paying attention to the court bulletin since the first day she arrived in Huichuan County. With Princess Consort's intelligence and the fact that she has her own business, she naturally knows what to prepare when. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I just thought of something on the spur of the moment and did it willfully. However, this time, the purchase of military food failed. Huichuan County has two large shops and a few small shops. Why aren't they willing to sell the food to us? I'm 100% sure that Zhong Yibo did something behind the scenes. I've always been on guard against him, but now that he's really done something, we can't be soft persimmons that he can bully. "
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Compared to you, I'm too reckless. Sister Yi, how do you think we should deal with him? I'll listen to you. "
Actually, when Qin Yining said that he had always been on guard against Lu Heng, Pang Xiao felt more satisfied than if she had eaten ten jars of honey. She immediately forgot about being grounded.
Qin Yining said, "They have the intention of driving up the price of food. How can the commoners have so much money to eat such expensive food? Although the price of this batch of food that I asked Shopkeeper Yin to help me purchase is more expensive than before, it's still cheaper than the price that they raised by several times. Therefore, I plan to let the Four-Way Shop sell this batch of food at a price that won't make a loss. "
"Oh?" Xu Weizhi smiled and said, "This is a good opportunity to make a fortune. Will the Four-Way Shop be willing?"
Mu Jinghu said, "They'll be willing. Shanshan definitely won't object."
With Mu Jinghu around, his words could be counted.
Qin Yining said, "A gentleman's desire for wealth is justified. I think that if the rain continues, I'm afraid that not long after, the entire Da Zhou won't have enough food to eat, especially in the south. A large part of my land is in the south. Now that there's a flood, the land that originally had a good harvest will probably have no harvest this year. If it's already like this for me, I don't know what will happen to the commoners. When the country is in danger, it's impossible to make a fortune.
"Let the Four-Way Shop sell their food as usual. This will also help to balance out the price of food in Huichuan County. You have to know that it's raining heavily for days. Even the most airtight storehouses will be damp. After being damp, the food will become moldy. Their prices are so high. If the food becomes moldy, they won't have the face to sell it even if they want to, right? "
"Princess Consort, you're right." Xu Weizhi said with admiration, "Princess Consort, you really take one step and think ten steps ahead. In this way, those people who drive up the price of food will see that the Four-Way Shop's food is selling so quickly, while their food may become moldy in their hands. They will definitely resent the people who instigated them behind the scenes. "
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, "That's right."
Xie Yue said, "What a good chain of plans. Princess Consort's method is very good." She turned to look at Pang Xiao, "Wang Ye, Princess Consort is such a heroine. It's a waste of her talent to confine her to embroider in the inner residence. Don't let Princess Consort be wronged. Release her freedom and allow her to come and go as she pleases."
Speaking to this point, Xie Yue spread her hands, "Look, even if Princess Consort is confined, hasn't she still done a lot of things?"
Pang Xiao laughed: "Isn't that so. Ji Yun always goes out to buy things for you. I didn't think that he would also help you pass on a message."
Qin Yining felt a bit guilty. After all, it was because Ji Yun helped pass on a message that she was able to successfully entrust the two people to head shopkeeper Yin and hide them.
She didn't have to save these two people who had bad intentions. It was just that if these two people stayed, she felt that they might be of use one day in the future.
