Chapter 56 Continue, why don't you scold me?
Yang was also kind-hearted and asked, "Are you hungry? How about I cook some more porridge for you and put more rice in it."

Granny Zhang also urged: "Yes, yes, yes, my daughter-in-law, go and make some more for Miss Nan and the others."

Nan Xi quickly stopped: "No, no, we're not hungry."

She pulled Li Beimu to leave, but Li Beimu kept his eyes on the dining table. He raised his head after a long while, frowned slightly, and asked seriously: "Where are the men in your family?"

Granny Zhang sighed: "In the war a few years ago, my son was captured as a young man. He went to the battlefield and never came back. This is the case for many families in the village."

Li Beimu asked again: "What about the supplies from the imperial court? There is a lot of money every year, which should be enough for you to maintain your life."

"Supplies?" Granny Zhang looked confused: "What is that?"

Yang also shook his head: "We have never sent any supplies."

Li Beimu's face darkened, and anger rose in his eyes.

He asked Nan Xi to take him to other people's homes, and they all got the same answer.

Those families whose men went out with the army never received any supplies from the court, and their lives were tight. If you put more rice in the gruel, your life would be good.

"The imperial court distributes supplies every year, but this money has never reached the hands of the people. It is simply unreasonable!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Nan Xi said: "Corrupt officials occur every year, and there are particularly many this year. Officials must protect each other in this kind of thing, otherwise it is impossible that no news has reached the ears of the emperor and the regent."

Li Beimu asked with a cold face: "Under the emperor's feet, outside the capital, if this is the case, it is hard to imagine what the lives of the people in those remote areas are like?"

Nan Xi said casually: "You want to know, can't you find out if you go out and take a look? You've never been out before, right?"

Li Beimu shook his head.

At this age, it was the first time for him to leave the palace today.

If he hadn't met Nan Xi, he wouldn't even know there was such a village outside the city where he couldn't even drink gruel.

"Can you lend me some money?" Li Beimu also knew that this request was a bit abrupt. "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back tomorrow. I just want to buy some food for them."

Nan Xi didn't expect that he was quite kind-hearted, so he took out two banknotes and gave them to him, "Although you and I just met today, because you are so caring, you don't have to pay back the money."

After all, it’s Master’s money. I believe Master is also willing to help those people.

The two of them went to the city to buy grain. In the rice shop, Jiang Wan looked sideways at Li Beimu, then looked at Nan Xi, and couldn't help but mutter, "You damn girl, you are quite capable, you hooked up with another one so quickly. "

Nan Huaidong was a little excited after receiving the banknote and asked, "Do you really need so much food? Are there so many people in your family?"

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes at him, "It doesn't matter to you how many people there are in the family? Hurry up and have people load the food into the car for them."

Nan Huaidong had been taken care of by his wife all his life. He had long been used to it. He didn't say anything and hurriedly went to work with the workers.

Jiang Wan was still looking at Li Beimu: "What is your relationship with this damn girl? How do you know each other? Where do you live? Are you from the capital? What do you do at home?"

Li Beimu frowned, feeling unhappy as this was his first time being questioned like this.

"What are you asking these for?"

Jiang Wan said confidently: "You walk with my daughter and you don't allow me to ask? How do I know if you are a liar? Is it easy to raise a daughter like me? What if someone cheats her away casually? ?”

Li Beimu was a little surprised. He turned to look at Nan Xi: "Is this your mother?"

Nan Xi didn't want to admit it, but there were only three rice shops in the city. Coincidentally, the other two were not open today because the children were taking exams and they were accompanying them outside the Gongyuan.

Only Jiang Wan and Nan Huaidong were big-hearted and felt that their son would definitely be in high school, so they were not worried at all. "You don't need to answer her, we only buy food." Nan Xi said.

Li Beimu also saw that the relationship between Nan Xi and her mother was not very good. Besides, others always flattered him. How could he care about other people's feelings when he answered his questions?

"Ah."

Li Beimu responded and seriously ignored Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan had a bad temper. She leaned against the door and kept scolding him, whatever the hell.

Nan Xi turned around and looked at her with cold eyes.

"Go on, why don't you scold me?"

She took a step forward, and Jiang Wan took a step back.

What happened to this damn girl?How did you become so strong?
Nan Xi forced the person to a corner of the shop. Seeing Jiang Wan's expression of timidity, he sneered, "The prince's people are following nearby, and the money to buy rice was given by the prince. Guess what if he hears you scolding you just now?" What would be your reaction to those words?”

Jiang Wan was completely frightened, "Nan Xi, I'm your mother. You must put in a good word for me with the prince. When your brother reaches high school and becomes a high official, when our family becomes prestigious, my mother will definitely take you into his family." return."

If the original owner was still here, he might really look forward to such a big pie, but Nan Xi didn't believe a word of it.

She turned around and walked away, recalling the plot in the original book along the way.

In the original plot, the Nan family gradually became prosperous after the scientific examination. Nan Mingkun really became a high official, and the Nan family's business grew bigger and bigger. They became the new rich in the city. Even the threshold was almost reached by Nan Mingkun's matchmaker. The matchmaker was trampled to pieces.

"Are you okay?" Li Beimu asked.

He had no experience in comforting others, but he just felt that anyone who was insulted by his mother in such harsh words would feel bad.

Nan Xi was smiling, "It's okay. Certain people and certain things, as long as you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed."

The two delivered the food to the village and distributed it to the villagers here, earning the gratitude of the whole village.

The sky was getting dark, and in the blink of an eye it was already past midnight.

Nan Xi and Li Beimu were in a good mood as they returned in a grain carriage, looking at the moon that had just risen.

Especially Nan Xi.

She just found out that her merit points increased by 50!
It is 50!
It turns out that good things really do happen to good people.

After entering the city, Li Beimu's eyes seemed to be exhausted. He looked east and west, and everything he saw seemed novel.

Nan Xi was a little surprised: "Have you never come out to play before?"

Li Beimu shook his head: "My family is strictly controlled."

Nan Xi suddenly felt that wealthy families also experienced the sorrows of wealthy families.

She slapped Li Beimu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, I will take you to the night market tonight to see the world."

"Night market?" Li Beimu had never been there before, "Okay."

The two of them had just returned the rented carriage when a bolt of lightning flashed across, followed by thunder in the sky and huge raindrops falling.
