After Wang Yan received Lin Qing's family letter, she made arrangements for the family affairs, and then brought her three little ones to Beijing to find Lin Qing.
Lin Qing already knew the time of Wang Yan's boat ride from the reply letter, and roughly calculated it. On the day when the official boat arrived, he specially asked for a leave of absence in Zhan Shifu's booklet, and then approved it for himself. Fake, pick up his wife at the pier in person.
? Although skipping work is okay, but skipping work is not as comfortable as asking for leave with a fair reason!
Picking up the family, this reason is absolutely sufficient, Lin Qing thought happily, and then threw the work to the two young men, and went to the pier to pick up his wife.
The remaining Wang Zhanshi and Zhao Zhanshi looked at each other helplessly. Today, if the two of them can no longer see who their top boss is, then their experience of squatting in the sixth department all these years will be in vain. But when they found out, they were even more devastated. They really didn't expect to meet such a person who is "indifferent to fame and wealth", although the reason for his indifference is because he is lazy!
But being lazy makes people even more helpless. Although subordinates generally don¡¯t like Shangfeng¡¯s monopoly, subordinates also don¡¯t like Shangfeng pushing work to themselves every day. I can't wait to slap myself twice, what is the difference between them and sending them to the door.
But who told Lin Qing to go to the peak with them? Zhao Zhanshi and Wang Zhanshi took over the work honestly and went back to work in their own rooms.
The bitter fruit that I planted, I have to eat it even on my knees!
Lin Qing took Xiao Lin and a group of servants to the pier, and found that the official ship had not arrived today, so he sent Xiao Lin to inquire about it. Xiao Lin went to inquire and came back and said that the official ship would arrive today, but he was afraid that it would not be until the afternoon.
Lin Qing looked at the time, it was still several hours before the afternoon, so he took a group of people to a relatively clean teahouse to rest. ship.
When Lin Qing entered the teahouse, he threw a silver bean to Xiaoer, asked for a private room on the second floor, and took someone to sit in.
?Because it is a teahouse close to the pier, there is a lot of mixed fish and dragons. Even if Lin Qing asked for the private room on the second floor, the noise from the first floor kept coming into the private room.
Xiao Lin saw the noise here, so he said to Lin Qing: "Master, why don't you go back first, I just wait here with someone."
Lin Qing shook his head and said: "It's okay, Madam finally came all the way from Yizhou Mansion with the child, and I can't do it unless I come to pick it up in person."
Xiao Lin saw that Lin Qing hadn't touched the tea on the table since he came in, and knew that Lin Qing must not be used to drinking it, so he wanted to ask the boy to go back and get some. Just bring some clean water, no need to bother."
Xiao Lin hurriedly went to Xiao Er to ask for some water, and gave it to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was drinking plain water on the second floor, while looking at the pier in the distance, waiting for Wang Yan's official ship, when he heard a few people talking loudly below.
"His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is really kind. Now is the time when the spring is slack. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang takes pity on the poor people and uses his salary to give porridge outside the city every day. Alas, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is really a kind person!"
"That's right, thick porridge is made of white rice every day, unlike some wealthy households who add bran to every porridge. His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is the real deal!"
"I heard that the current His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is the eldest son of the original King Cheng, that is, the eldest son. After the Holy One canonized the crown prince, he let the sons of King Cheng and King Dai inherit the titles of His Royal Highnesses King Xian Cheng and King Xiandai. Nobility, seeing His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is so kind at such a young age, it can be seen that the sage is wise."
"Hey, from what you said, isn't His Royal Highness Cheng Wang the eldest grandson of the Holy One?"
"That's right, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is not only the direct grandson, but also the oldest of all the grandsons of the Holy Majesty. It is said that he is a few years older than the present prince."
"So it's the eldest grandson, no wonder, no wonder."
Lin Qing listened for a while, then waved to Xiao Lin next to him.
Xiao Lin hurried over and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Send a few smart people to go to the teahouses and restaurants to see how many people say such things, and then send two people to look outside the city to see where His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is serving porridge on weekdays." Lin Qing said calmly.
"Yes, master." Xiao Lin responded quickly, and then sent a few people out to inquire.
After a while, the three young men who went to the teahouse to inquire came back first, and one of them said to Lin Qing: "Master, you guys went to sit in the lobby of every nearby teahouse and restaurant for a while, and heard that some teahouses There is also such a discussion with the restaurant. What I said is similar to what I heard just now. "
Lin Qing nodded, and each gave a reward of a silver bean. The three servants took the reward and left happily.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the two young servants who went to investigate outside the city came back in a hurry. Seeing Lin Qing, they hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord, I found it. In the open space outside the west gate of the city, Cheng Wang's mansion is giving out porridge. , a lot of people are queuing up there to claim it.¡±
Lin Qing listened, thought for a while, and said to Xiao Lin: "Leave a few people here waiting for Madam, come and see with me."
After finishing speaking, Lin Qing got up and walked out of the private room. Xiao Lin hurriedly left a few people behind, and then followed Lin Qing to the west gate of the city with the rest.
Lin Qing arrived outside the west gate in a carriage, and before he got close, he looked at the long line of people from a distance, frowned, and said to the people behind him: "You wait in the carriage, I'll go down and have a look. "
Xiao Lin hurriedly said: "Master, there are everyone here, and there are so many people in a mess, let's go with you, little one!"
Lin Qing thought for a while, thought it was the same, and said: "Then you follow, the rest of the people enter the city through another city gate, and wait for me inside."
Lin Qing and Xiao Lin got off the carriage, and Lin Qing took Xiao Lin to the other side.
Lin Qing wanted to go and have a look in person, but he didn't intend to get too close. Although he was not a big official, after all, he followed the prince every day, and there was no guarantee that someone in the palace would recognize him.
Fortunately, the place King Cheng chose was at the gate of the city, and there were people coming and going every day, so Lin Qing pretended to be a rich man entering the city, but it didn't attract attention.
Lin Qing took Xiao Lin, pretending to enter the city, while secretly observing the porridge shed not far away.
But after a few glances, Lin Qing frowned, and asked Xiao Lin next to him in a low voice, "Son of King Cheng, no, now that he is King Cheng, do you really use whole white rice when serving porridge?"
Xiao Lin nodded, and replied in a low voice: "I have inquired about it, and it is indeed white rice, and there is no bran added."
Lin Qing looked at the so-called "poor people" waiting in line to get the porridge, shook his head, and said to Xiao Lin: "Go to the city!"
After entering the city, Lin Qing saw the carriage that had already turned around from another city gate. Lin Qing got on the carriage and said to Xiao Lin: "I'll go back to the East Palace first, and you go to the pier to pick up Madam. If Madam wants to ask, you can just say I have something to suddenly go to see the prince."
"Yes, sir." Xiao Lin replied.
When Lin Qing returned to the East Palace, he went directly to the main hall to find the prince.
When the prince saw Lin Qing, he was a little surprised and said, "Didn't the master go to pick up his wife and come back so soon?"
"Her boat hasn't arrived yet. After hearing some things on the way, I came back first." Lin Qing said.
"What's the matter?" the prince asked.
"Did you hear that your highness has become king recently?" Lin Qing asked.
The prince frowned and said, "Sir, you are talking about the elder brother's eldest son, the one who just took over the elder brother's position a few days ago."
"That's him, the original Prince Cheng." Lin Qing nodded.
"Isn't he keeping his filial piety at home now? Why, what did he do wrong?" the prince asked.
Lin Qing told the prince what he had just heard in the teahouse and what he had inquired about.
The prince laughed immediately after hearing this, and said, "You want to use the porridge to buy people's hearts? Hehe, if he does this, doesn't it mean that the father is incompetent in governing the world, and everyone around the capital needs porridge. Going to starve to death."
Lin Qing said with a smile: "Your Highness still understands that if it is a famine year, the porridge is indeed for the people, but last year the capital was in good weather, and now the king is giving porridge, and he even publicizes it. People with a discerning eye can see it .And not only that, the porridge given by King Cheng is still plain porridge, not mixed with any bran."
"Did he serve porridge with no bran?" The prince looked at Lin Qing in surprise.
Lin Qing nodded and said: "Not only that, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is also very proud of this, and specially asked someone to speak out."
The Prince twitched his mouth immediately after hearing this, and said, "How did my eldest brother give birth to this mallet!"
When giving porridge, whether it is from the imperial court or rich households, one thing must be done, that is, to mix the porridge with chaff, and even sprinkle a handful of porridge on purpose in front of everyone when the porridge is out of the pot. soil. This is not deliberately bullying the refugees, nor is it doing bad things, but to let the porridge really reach the stomachs of the poor. Because for poor people, they don't care about the chaff and sand in the porridge. The only ones who care about it are those who take advantage of not eating for nothing.
Lin Qing heard the prince's evaluation of King Cheng, and said: "I specially went to take a peek at those people waiting in line to get the porridge, and sure enough, I saw that although many of them were dressed in shabby clothes, they didn't have any food on their faces, and they didn't want to eat anything. The ones who are at least physically strong must be the original rascals in the city."
"He doesn't mix chaff in his porridge, it's no wonder people don't take him for a fool!" said the prince.
Lin Qing said: "Although King Cheng did a stupid thing, it can be seen from this incident that King Cheng is still not giving up. I came here to remind His Highness to be careful. Sometimes, people who are not smart are better than smart people." people are more prone to bad things.¡±
The prince nodded and said, "Gu will attract people's attention."
After Lin Qing finished speaking with the prince, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. His wife was still throwing it at the pier! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)??A lot of them are still strong and strong, presumably they should be the original rascals in the city. "
"He doesn't mix chaff in his porridge, it's no wonder people don't take him for a fool!" said the prince.
