Chapter 14
She has excellent hearing and can clearly hear what they are discussing.

A slightly rough voice was unusually obvious, full of admiration and pity: "All the men in Dingguo's mansion died in the battle, from Dingguogong and his brothers, and even the children below them. A 12-year-old child, no one survives. What a pity!"

Those people exclaimed, each with their own words of dispute.

"Didn't the imperial court say that Duke Ding was greedy for meritorious service and did not listen to dissuasion? In addition, he also colluded with the people of Nanliang, which led to the defeat of the Nanliang battle, and deliberately buried hundreds of thousands of Shu's army?" The voice of a young man with a slightly bookish air, there is a little suspicion in this voice.

"Hmph, do you believe what the court said? If that's the case, why did all the men in Dingguo's mansion die on the battlefield without surviving? Half a month ago, the female family of Dingguo's mansion went up to Mrs. Dingguo's wife , Down to several wives, except for Mrs. Dingguo, who is also the eldest princess of the dynasty, all of them hanged beams at home on the day the court ransacked their homes?"

"Let's talk about it again," the man's voice paused, full of grief and indignation, "I heard that after Dingguo's mansion was confiscated, half of the people in Zhongzhou City knelt in the palace. At the gate, they complained for Dingguo's mansion, but in the end, Dingguo was still accused of colluding with foreign enemies and treason. In the end, the emperor thought of the merits of the ancestors of Dingguo's mansion, and specially allowed them to be buried properly. Otherwise, they can only be the result of exposing corpses to the wilderness."

As soon as these words came out, there was another burst of exclamation, and that sad low cry.

They are a group of people who have received more or less favor from Dingguo Gongfu.

No, it should be said that there are several people in the entire Zhongzhou City who have not received the kindness of Duke Dingguo.

In Zhongzhou City, there were some things they couldn't say openly.

In this remote town, they don't have to worry about what walls have ears, so they can say anything.

"What's the use of talking about it now? The people in Dingguo's mansion are all dead, and Dingguo's mansion is completely collapsed." Another person sighed, with a deep sigh in his tone.

"Isn't the queen from Dingguo's mansion? And the prince?" One person asked doubtfully.

"Do you think that the empress and crown prince's seats will be safe when Dingguo's mansion is gone?" one person mocked slightly.

"No way?" the man questioned.

"Why not? Maybe soon the decree of abolishing the Empress and the abolishing Prince will come down."

What followed was another burst of chaotic discussions.

These people don't know whether they are not worried about the safety of the town, or they have already broken the pot, as if they don't care about their lives at all, they speak freely and express their anger in the small restaurant in this small town.

In short, they are all complaining for the government of Dingguo.

Yu Qingning felt in his heart that they were brave enough to say these things in a grand manner here.

The rest of the words were mixed, but Yu Qingning felt that she couldn't hear clearly.

Hearing this, Yu Qingning's heart sank involuntarily.

Born in a big family in the 30th century, she has experienced countless conspiracies and tricks, and she still doesn't understand.

It is nothing more than that the bow is hidden when the bird is exhausted, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the hunting dog is cooked.

As an emperor, you don't see anyone threatening your power.

In particular, Dingguo's mansion is still the Queen's mother's house and the Prince's natal family.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows the tricks here.

It's just that no one dares to expose it.

I am afraid that there are no discerning people in the court of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Because, from the root, it's rotten.

The officials in the court were blinded, and their hearts were also blinded.

Dingguo's mansion is not feared because they are too powerful, but because they are too upright.

Just until everyone can't tolerate them.

Yu Qingning thought that she knew who Jing He was.

She found it.

After listening to the story, Yu Qingning calmed down her emotions.

Then she walked out of the restaurant as if nothing had happened.

"Sister, are we not going to sell Tutu?" Yu Qingrui raised her head, looking at him expectantly with her round eyes.

Even Yu Qing'an took a rare sneaky look, with the same hope as Ruirui in her eyes.

Yu Qingning smiled lightly: "I won't sell them anymore, leave them for Ruirui to raise, okay? I'll catch a few more and come back with them, okay?"

Yu Qingrui's eyes were astonishingly bright, and she was full of joy.

Yu Qingning went to the grain store in the town.

The white fine noodles in the store are thirty yuan a catty, the rough noodles are ten yuan a catty, the polished rice is thirty-five cents a catty, and the brown rice is ten yuan a catty.

Yu Qingning ordered a total of [-] catties of white noodles and [-] catties of polished rice, and asked them to deliver them to their door.

She can't carry so many things.

There is free labor, and there is no use for nothing.

These cost her one or two or three coins.

After leaving the grain store, she went to the grocery store again.

Sugar in this era is still coarse sugar, not fine white sugar, but it is still not cheap, one hundred cents per catty.

Similarly, not to mention coarse salt, 150 Wen a catty, expensive batch.

Yu Qingning was ruthless and bought five catties of sugar and two catties of salt, and then bought all the seasonings that could be bought in the store, and then wrapped up some spices for seasoning.

These spices are usually not bought by many people, so they are not very expensive, a total of [-] Baiwen.

She found that there were still a lot of vegetable seeds in the store, so she bought some of each vegetable and spent thirty yuan.

These cost a total of one tael and one silver plus thirty coins.

These things were put into the back basket by her, actually they were put into the space by her.

After leaving the grocery store, she went to the butcher's stand again.

Yu Qingning carefully looked at the meat on the stall. Fat meat is more expensive in this era, thirty yuan a catty.

Lean meat is cheaper, 25 Wen a catty.

Ribs are cheaper than meat, twenty cents a catty.

Yu Qingning took a fancy to the pork ribs and asked the stall owner to weigh it, which was exactly three catties.

In addition, she also bought a piece of fat and thin pork belly, which cost [-] Wen.

There is also a pair of pigs' offal on the stall, which is very cheap, and it costs fifteen yuan for a pair.

But Yu Qingning didn't like to eat animal offal, and she was not willing to deal with the smelly things, so she didn't want to buy them.

After leaving the meat stall, Yu Qingning became more and more presumptuous on the whole street.

It's probably a common problem among women, they can't stop when they go shopping, and Yu Qingning buys more and more things.

In the cloth shop, I bought several bolts of fine cloth and cotton cloth, and bought a suit of ready-made clothes for each member of the family. Finally, I spent a "huge sum" of money to buy a suit of good-looking ready-made clothes for Jing He.

Although Yu Qingning knew that he might not have worn such cheap clothes before, but now that the situation was like this, he was not afraid that he would not wear them.

With a big wave of Yu Qingning's hand, they delivered the goods to the door.

For her, it is good to make money after the money is used up.

Although in the original world, she struggled to move forward in the family, but that refers to the difficulties she faced. Besides, she never owed herself in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. In terms of enjoyment, there is no one in the whole family. No one can compare to her.

She likes to have fun and enjoy herself, she has all these shortcomings, but these little shortcomings are nothing to her.

She has always been a person who believes in the principle of "I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone".

Of course, she has enough confidence to make more money.

In the end, she bought ten more chickens and ten ducklings.

Raise it up and eat it with stew.

He also bought a white glutinous rice cake for Yu Qingan and Yu Qingrui.

Yu Qingning took a sip, the slight sweetness combined with the slight rice fragrance, it tasted good.
