Chapter 131: You won’t fine her salary, right?
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Song. I have already eaten."
Chen Yue didn't want to talk to Song Yunchu any more, so he stood up and quickly left the lobby.
He wanted to go to the backyard to practice sword for a while, but when he passed the kitchen, he smelled the spicy and fresh aroma, and his steps paused.
Jiang Rumin was coming out of the kitchen with a tray of bowls, and greeted Shen Yue when she saw him.
"Mr. Shen is very polite. Have you had dinner yet?"
Chen Yue said: "I...have eaten."
"There is still a lot of food in the kitchen. I heard that people who practice martial arts consume a lot of energy and need to eat more. Lord Shen, why don't you go and eat some more?"
Jiang Rumin did not know the value of food before. Now that she has learned to live frugally, she is shocked to realize that she had wasted a lot of food in the past.
The food at the Duke's Mansion was never bad, and she only realized that bird's nest and shark's fin were not cheap after she left home. In those days when she was trapped in love and sentimental, she turned a blind eye to the delicious food on the table. When she lived on her own savings, she found that she could not afford those things.
There were a lot of expensive ingredients in the kitchen today, and she really couldn't bear to see them being wasted, so she persuaded as many people as possible to eat.
And Chen Yue listened to her advice, really raised his feet and stepped into the kitchen.
Miss Jiang was always gentle and polite to others, and since she meant well, it was difficult for him to refuse.
Before he knew it, he had walked to the third soup pot.
A moment later, he came to the tree outside the backyard carrying a bowl of spicy hot pot with a wild vegetable soup base. He looked around and found that there was no one around, so he sat down.
He picked up a four-happiness meatball and put it in his mouth. The chewy meatball and the fragrant soup base were really delicious.
It smells really good.
…
In the quiet private room, bright yellow flames flickered.
A charcoal basin was lit in the room, filling the room with warmth.
Jun Li Luo was sitting at the table reading a book when he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, I am back. I heard from Lord Shen that you have not rested yet, so I came to apologize to you."
Jun Liluo paused while flipping through the book.
He knew it as soon as Song Yunchu came back. After all, with so many people eating, the noise would be quite loud.
It was obvious that Song Yunchu and his companions would not be able to eat anything good when they went up the mountain, so they had to have a satisfying meal at night. Even if he wanted to bring an army to question them, he had to let Song Yunchu eat well first.
He didn't intend to give Song Yunchu a severe punishment, but he still had to reprimand him.
So he spoke, in a cold tone, "Come in."
Song Yunchu pushed the door open and walked in.
[The dog emperor is really unhappy. ]
[I don’t know if my salary will be fined. ]
[Just punish him. I can compensate him by giving him more rewards after returning to the court. If I say something nice, he might punish me less.]
Jun Li Luo snorted coldly inwardly.
You were so quick when you knocked him out, but now you're worried about being fined by him?
But then again, the first thing this guy thought of was to deduct salary instead of corporal punishment, which shows that he also knows how much I value him.
For court officials, corporal punishment was the most humiliating.
Jun Liluo had already thought of how to reprimand him, but the moment he looked up and saw Song Yunchu, he was stunned.
The hair on Song Yunchu's forehead was a little messy, with two pieces of tattered leaves stuck to the edge of his hair crown. It was obvious that he came back exhausted and had no time to tidy up his hair.
Jun Li Luo felt a little uncomfortable.
Ever since Yun Chu came to Sifang Inn, he no longer wore fancy clothes, but wore plain clothes like everyone else. However, even though his clothes were not eye-catching, his appearance and demeanor were still very conspicuous.
Such a pampered person, now dressed so sloppily to pick herbs for plague patients, no longer looks his usual arrogant and domineering self.
Chen Yue said that Song Yunchu was disregarding hierarchy and was too frivolous, but he did not think carefully about how hard Song Yunchu had been working since he came to the west of the city, and how he had not had a good night's sleep at all.
He could have lived a comfortable and wealthy life in the prime minister's mansion, but he chose to come to the west of the city.
If he was just pursuing fame and fortune, why would he work so hard? In the end, he still cared about the common people, so he kept catching up with the progress.
Jun Liluo stood up and walked in front of Song Yunchu, raising his hand to help her brush away the broken leaves on her head.
When Song Yunchu saw the fallen leaves and dust on his head, he said quickly, "I just came back not long ago and didn't have time to take a bath or change clothes. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty."
"It's okay." Jun Liluo said, "It's cold outside, right? Go take a hot bath first, clean yourself up, and then come to see me."
Song Yunchu was a little surprised when he heard that, then he said yes and turned to leave.
[Look at the dog emperor's expression just now. Is he moved by me? ]
[Tsk, not surprising, I almost moved myself. Before coming to Chengxi, I ate well and slept well, and I always wanted to be lazy when I went to the Imperial Study. After coming to Chengxi, I follow up on the plague in real time every day and command my subordinates to do this and that. How can I have time to slack off? Everyone is busy, I don’t even have the face to be lazy. ]
[This plague really cured my laziness and procrastination. ]
[If I had known that being exhausted would move the dog emperor, I should have put a little more dust on my head.]
Jun Liluo: "..."
He found that Song Yunchu always liked to say some spoiling words from his heart.
Many times, when he was moved, this guy's true feelings began to ruin the atmosphere, making him laugh and cry.
Fortunately, he gradually adapted.
No matter what, he had to admit that Song Yunchu made him feel excited.
There is a long way to go, and even if Song Yunchu is a little slow, he will gradually discover how special she is to him.
…
On the other side, after Poison Lady came down the mountain, she followed the agreement with Song Yunchu and evacuated the west of the city with her other two sisters.
"Sister, will that Song really keep his promise?"
"This guy has a very bad reputation. I'm afraid he will play tricks on us again."
Poison Lady was also helpless about the suspicion of the other two sisters.
"Prime Minister Song is cold and ruthless and won't compromise. I'm afraid that angering him will harm Fourth Sister. Even his fiancée Jiang Rumin can't pose much of a threat to him. I can't think of anyone else I can take as a hostage. I can't really attack Jiang Rumin to test him, right? He can afford the gamble, but we can't. I hope Fourth Sister comes back intact, not with broken arms and legs."
Compared with Song Yunchu, she thought she could not be more ruthless.
Now she can only pin her hopes on Jiang Rumin.
"The prince once said that Jiang Rumin is kind-hearted. Since she promised me that she would release the people, I will trust her for once. With her ability, as long as we don't cause trouble, they may be able to solve the plague soon. When they return to the court, my fourth sister will be able to come back as well."
After the three of them returned to Prince Yi's Mansion, Poison Lady met Jun Tianyi.
"You look listless, so it's obvious that this trip is not going well. What's going on? Did you suffer at the hands of the thief Song?"
"Prime Minister Song is indeed difficult to deal with."
Poison Lady paused and said, "Your Majesty, the plague in the west of the city is now at a critical stage. Can we wait until the plague is resolved before dealing with Prime Minister Song?"
"What does dealing with Prime Minister Song have to do with the plague?" Jun Tianyi frowned. "He can't treat illnesses. Even if something happens to him, it won't affect the progress of the plague prescription."
