Chapter 48 Of course not for sale
"Dad, can I not go?" Wang Qin said with a gloomy face, very reluctant.
County Magistrate Wang glared at him and said, "You must go!"
Knowing that he would not be able to defeat his father in the end, he had no choice but to go out in the heavy rain.
Laifu Inn.
Wang Qin felt even worse as he touched his wet clothes. He wanted to leave this damn place immediately.
Seeing that he looked like someone who was not to be trifled with, the waiter brought him a few cups of hot tea and quickly left.
Upstairs, after Liang He learned the identity of the visitor, he thought about it and called Mrs. Zhu to go downstairs together.
Luo Huai and several other children followed behind.
Hearing the footsteps, Wang Qin hurriedly straightened his clothes to make himself look less embarrassed.
He leaned forward and saluted, his attitude much more polite than last time.
"Master Liang, I'm disturbing you again!"
Liang He nodded slightly: "Prince Wang, are you here again to buy medicinal herbs?"
Upon hearing this, the children behind Zhu Mingqing showed hostile eyes.
Wang Qin pursed his lips, a smile on his face, and looked at Mrs. Zhu beside Liang He:
"Not really. It's raining heavily in Zhencheng right now. My father heard that Madam Zhu had bought a lot of food before, so he wanted to ask Madam Zhu for some support! Of course, you will definitely get some money."
Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
The son asked her to buy medicine, and the father asked her to buy food.
Is it possible that there is no other place to look for it, so she has to look for it alone?
Because of Wang Qin's behavior in buying medicinal herbs last time, Zhu Mingqing had a very bad impression of him.
So she refused directly.
"To be honest, I don't plan to sell the grain either."
"you!"
Wang Qin greeted with a smile, but was rejected again, and his face turned ugly.
As the only son of the county magistrate, he was raised very well, with a strong physique, a spoiled temperament, and his behavior was erratic, but others always tried to please him, and he had never been so humble!
After being rejected again and again, it's still easy for him to deal with his own affairs. At worst, he can just give up.
But if his father's business is not accomplished, he will have to endure it.
However, this time he came with his father's permission. He is not afraid if anyone dares to complain!
He just couldn't believe that he couldn't deal with a small exiled criminal!
"Madam Zhu, this is Zhencheng. You should know your place." He pressed on, threatening, "Although I haven't passed the imperial examinations, I do have some abilities."
He thought that if he said that, the other party might be scared.
But the other person's expression remained very calm.
"Prince Wang, is this how your father asked you to beg?"
"Humph! I tried to negotiate with you in a nice way before, but you didn't appreciate it at all. If that's the case, what else should I worry about?"
Zhu Mingqing curled his lips: "Then I'm really scared!"
Wang Qin said smugly, "Are you scared? If you are, just hand it over quickly."
Luo Huai said in a restrained voice: "Don't go too far!"
Luo Xiao also suppressed the anger in his heart. He wanted to beat the other party so hard that even his parents wouldn't recognize him, but he knew that he couldn't afford to offend the other party now.
"Our grain, why should we sell it just because you say buy it?"
"Just because I need it!" He gave him a look of disdain, then looked at Liang He: "Sir, you won't stop me this time, will you? My father is doing this for the people in the city. Without this food, they will have a hard time in the future."
Without waiting for Liang He to speak, Zhu Mingqing took two steps forward and said, "Then we'll talk about it when times get tough. Besides, I don't trust you. If I really need to, I'll talk to County Magistrate Wang."
Wang Qin's eyes widened: "Who are you to speak to my father?"
"Watch your mouth!" Luo Xiao couldn't help it.
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up. "No matter who I am, the grain is mine. If your father is like you and tries to force me to buy or sell, then I have nothing to say."
However, the feud has been settled!
She will definitely get back the several thousand taels of silver.
Besides, this Zhencheng is the responsibility of County Magistrate Wang, why should she care so much about it!
Seeing that she was not moved by his persuasion, Wang Qin frowned.
He sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup, drank it all, and then spit it out immediately.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
He was so burned that he kept sticking out his tongue and said angrily, "Who brought this here? Do you want to burn me to death?"
When the waiter heard the shouting, he immediately brought out a glass of cold water.
He didn't dare to say anything more and left carefully.
Zhu Mingqing covered his mouth and thought, "Well done!"
Wang Qin went out on a rainy day, and not only did he fail to complete the task, he also got blisters on his mouth, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He was so angry that he got mad.
When he returned to the county government office and learned about the situation, County Magistrate Wang not only did not comfort his son, but also directly drove the man away.
"You must have a bad attitude and annoyed others."
Wang Qin suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. When he returned to his room angrily, he met his sister Wang Lexuan again.
The two had a good relationship. When Wang Lexuan saw her brother like this, she kept asking questions and finally found out the truth.
Thinking of what she had asked him to remind his father, Wang Lexuan's face turned pale.
Who knew a dream could actually come true?
…
In the study, County Magistrate Wang was still thinking of a solution when he heard his daughter's voice outside, "Daddy."
Wang Lexuan pushed the door open and saw that her father, who had been radiant a few days ago, now had a sad face. She felt very distressed and handed him the food she had made.
"I heard from Master Qin that you haven't eaten all day. Dad, there's always work to do. You must take care of yourself."
She brought out a bowl of rice and two simple vegetarian dishes.
County Magistrate Wang rubbed his aching head and said, "Xuan'er still loves daddy."
"And mother, she has been helping dad collect supplies these past two days."
Magistrate Wang thought of his wife and a smile appeared on his chubby face. "Yes, your brother is the one who is worrying."
Wang Lexuan looked at her father who was eating happily, wanting to say something but hesitant.
She whispered, "I have something I want to tell Daddy."
County Magistrate Wang continued eating without looking up: "You go on."
"I met Madam Zhu before. She told me to warn my father about the possibility of flooding and offered to exchange seeds for food. At that time, I... refused."
As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller. If she had known this would happen, she would have agreed at that time.
County Magistrate Wang stopped chewing immediately and asked, "When did it happen?"
"When she first arrived in Zhen County." She tentatively asked, "If Dad wants to buy grain, why not take some seeds and try?"
County Magistrate Wang stood up quickly, didn't even eat, and went straight to the warehouse.
"Daddy, slow down." Wang Lexuan hurriedly caught up.
On the second day, the rain eased a little, and Zhu Mingqing heard that County Magistrate Wang had arrived with his son.
Wang Qin was very nervous, fearing that his father would find out about his past.
