"This...this is true?" Mother Tian's voice trembled with excitement. She clasped her hands together and prayed to the sky: "Thank you for the blessings of our ancestors, thank you for the divine intervention of all the gods."
Father Tian laughed heartily, "It seems our little sister is a blessed woman!"
“Yes, yes, our little sister is a very lucky person,” Mother Tian chimed in from the side.
“Father, I’m thinking that since our water has this effect, why don’t we go to the south of the city to distribute porridge tomorrow? My brother’s book says: ‘A common man is innocent, but he may possess a treasure.’ If we openly take the water to save people, and attract the covetousness of others, our family may lose its life.”
“Little sister is right,” Tian Dali nodded in agreement. “Our restaurant has been open for so long and has made quite a bit of money. We also have plenty of grain stored up at home, so distributing porridge is no problem for us.”
Lu Qingyan continued, "It's better if the porridge is a little thinner, so that it can be shared among more people. If there's not enough rice, there's always wine. It's still winter, and a little wine is just right to warm you up when it's cold."
"Sigh, it's just that the alcohol content was too short, so the taste might be a bit lacking," Mother Tian said regretfully.
Father Tian made the final decision: "Little sister, I'll leave this matter to you. Everyone will come to help."
The next day, just as dawn broke, the Tian family, along with the restaurant staff, had already set up their stall in the south of the city. The words "Free Porridge and Free Wine" were prominently displayed on the bamboo pole beside their stall.
Those nearby saw this and all moved closer to the shed, wanting a bowl of hot porridge and a sip of strong liquor.
Even in this setting, no one crowded. They lined up and cooperated in an orderly manner, causing no trouble for the Tian family.
In just one morning, they emptied three large vats of thin porridge and drank dozens of jars of fine wine.
When Junyao heard about this in the palace, he praised them highly: "They are truly kind people. Give the order that no one should make things difficult for them in the future."
"This servant obeys the order!" As soon as Xiao Anzi heard Jun Yao's instructions, he sent someone to carry them out.
One day, two days, three days... Half a month later, with Lu Qingyan's help, the capital city was extricated from the crisis.
Seeing Jun Yao suddenly appear at her door, Lu Qingyan turned her head and asked, "What brings you here, young master? Oh, right, I almost forgot you're not a young master, but the Emperor." Jun Yao was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, making him hard not to recognize.
Lu Qingyan bowed and said, "This commoner greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
"I have an idea in my mind that I'd like to share with you," Junyao said, looking at the woman's beautiful face as he approached her step by step. "And you, what do you think?"
Lu Qingyan blinked, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes: "It is difficult to disobey the emperor's orders. If His Majesty is pleased, what is wrong with it? After all, I am also happy about it."
Junyao took a few steps back and curled the corners of his mouth: "Of course you should be happy. I have already ordered someone to draft an imperial edict to appoint your elder brother Tian Dali as the Minister of Revenue."
So, you were standing so close to me just to talk about this? Lu Qingyan felt like she had been hit hard.
#My crush is such a smooth talker, what should I do?#
Lu Qingyan absolutely refused to admit that her face turned completely red when Jun Yao approached. *Ahem*, it certainly wasn't because Jun Yao was too handsome, but rather because of the heat.
Thinking that it's still winter outside? Lu Qingyan made another excuse: Well, it must be because the charcoal fire in the house is burning too brightly.
