Xie Jian's cold eyes fell on Chen Heng. Master, is this the kind of person she has in your mind?
Gu Feng and Yu Wei, who were guarding the door, looked at each other and felt that what Madam Shen said was absolutely right. The adults were just such people.
"Sister-in-law, you flatter much better than those people outside." It was the first time that Meng Xuanlang heard such beautiful words of praise, which appealed to both the elite and the masses.
Chen Heng: “…”
Lu Ji'an was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He had been busy with the disaster these days, running around everywhere. Sometimes he could only sleep for an hour or two at night. His heart was tense all the time, and he didn't know how to laugh.
"This is what I really think." Chen Heng was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"I am not as good as you say." Lu Ji'an's eyes were filled with smiles, and his solemn look disappeared, as if he had returned to his gentle and elegant appearance when he put on his regular clothes.
"Your Excellency is naturally the best." In Chen Heng's mind, there were not many good officials in history. Hai Rui, known as "Hai Qingtian", was one, as was Di Yujie, a strategist, Wei Zheng, who was selfless and dedicated to public service and dared to give direct criticism, and Bao Qingtian. The only one he had personally experienced was Lu Ji'an.
Lu Ji'an laughed out loud again.
Xie Jian pursed his lips. Every time this woman looked at the Master, her whole face seemed to light up. She had never looked like this in front of him.
By the evening, all the rice from the grain merchants had been shipped to Southern Ming. Suddenly, the price of rice skyrocketed. Within three days, it had risen to 50 or 60 wen.
Despite the high price of rice, it did save some people from starvation.
The next day, the price of rice rose to 100 wen of silver. For several days in a row, the government did not lower the price. The grain merchants who had been waiting outside saw that the government's words and deeds were consistent, and they all came.
The people cried out in grief, and the people at the government office started throwing snowballs and started throwing cow dung, human dung, and all kinds of dung. Some people even wanted to rush into the government office and beat people up.
Xie Jian came back every day with a smelly smell and a gloomy face.
"Ajian, have you grown taller?" Xia was surprised when she took over Xie Jian's changed clothes.
While washing vegetables, Shen Heng looked at Xie Jian, who seemed to have grown taller. She quickly put down the vegetables and walked over, standing back to back with him: "Sister-in-law, take a look."
"It's grown so much." Xia used his thumb and index finger to indicate the distance.
He'd grown four centimeters taller in just half a year? Shen Heng smiled as she looked at the handsome young man in front of her. She noticed his face had grown bigger, his jawline was thinner than before, and his features had become more defined.
Xie Jian didn't like the way Chen Heng looked at him. It was like she was looking at a younger person. She was only three years older than him, but he was taller than her now. She didn't have to stand taller than him like before, and he still had to look up at her.
Xie Jian slapped her away and gestured with his hand.
Don't let her touch? Chen Heng touched, once, twice.
"Childish." Unable to stop her, Xie Jian let her touch him.
Xia smiled and said, "When spring comes, it will be the time for growing shoots. I will go to the mountains to find some native ginseng, and then go to the herbal medicine store to buy some astragalus and angelica, and stew them together to make a hen for Ajian to eat." If you can save cash, try to spend it sparingly.
"Is there still ginseng in the mountains?" Shen Heng was curious.
"As for native ginseng, it's plentiful in the spring, but becomes scarce after two or three years. Hopefully, the disaster will be over by then."
"The disaster will surely be over soon. Our Ajian's solution will surely work this time." Chen Heng was full of confidence.
