When he came out of the bathroom, Lu Hanxiao only wore a middle coat.
The middle coat is open, and the scenery inside can be seen at a glance.
Originally, as a doctor, Si Ning was already used to this kind of thing.
Especially when Lu Hanxiao was unconscious, she performed acupuncture on him. Not to mention only a gap, even the upper body was naked.
But the feeling is different from now...
Si Ning felt his mouth was dry and he unconsciously picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Very thirsty?" Lu Hanxiao asked in confusion.
Si Ning nodded, pretending that nothing happened, and mentioned what happened at the eldest princess's residence today.
"Well... the eldest princess wants the ladies in the capital to raise donations. The silver raised from the donations will be used to buy food and then distribute it to the people. She asked me to assist her."
Lu Hanxiao wiped his hair with his hand, frowned and looked at the person on the bed in front of him.
"You agreed?"
Si Ning nodded truthfully, "The situation forces me to agree."
Lu Hanxiao, "What are you going to do now?"
He knew that since Si Ning agreed, he must have his own plans, so he was not in a hurry to speak out his thoughts, and just waited for Si Ning to continue.
Si Ning, "Didn't you say that I need to find an opportunity to abort the child in my belly? Now I think it is very suitable."
There was a smile in her eyes, and it seemed that she had already made up her mind.
Lu Hanxiao nodded, "Okay, if you need my cooperation, I will cooperate."
Feeling a little disappointed for no reason, I heard Si Ning say again.
"I do need your help with something."
Lu Hanxiao, "What's the matter, tell me."
"Do you have someone from Hubu? I would like to ask you to help me and Hubu borrow someone, an inconspicuous one."
Lu Hanxiao stared, "What are you going to do?"
Si Ning whispered something into his ear, and his shallow breathing hit Lu Hanxiao's ear, causing his heart to beat faster again.
He went out overnight to make arrangements, and the next day, the people were sent to Sining.
When the eldest princess sent someone to take Si Ning to her mansion, Si Ning took them with her.
The eldest princess was very unhappy when she saw a strange face.
"I have someone here with you, what are you doing?"
Si Ning hurriedly explained, "It's a servant who takes care of me at home. He taught me some accounts before. When he heard that I was coming to the eldest princess, he was worried that I would make mistakes and cause trouble to the eldest princess, so he insisted that he would do it. Follow here."
The eldest princess listened and waved her hands impatiently.
"Take the person down first, and I will have a few words with Mrs. Lu alone."
This was acquiescence that Si Ning would take the person with him.
Si Ning and the eldest princess talked for a while in the house. When they came out, the servants of the princess's mansion had already carried several large boxes and placed them in the yard.
"These are the coins donated by the ladies, a total of fifty thousand taels. Madam Lu, you can place a pledge here after ordering them."
The eldest princess had told Si Ning in the house that all the money should be handed over to Sining. She would be responsible for using the money to buy grain and then store the grain.
When the time comes to distribute them, the eldest princess will do it herself.
In other words, Si Ning handles everything behind the scenes, and the eldest princess is only responsible for showing her face.
Naturally, Si Ning would have no objections to such an arrangement. He couldn't compete with the princess for credit.
Looking at the boxes of white money in front of him, Si Ning pressed his swollen forehead.
"Uncle Wang, come and help me count them."
The maid on the side saw this and reminded him.
"Mrs. Lu, the silver is very important, won't you count it yourself?"
Si Ning was a little embarrassed by what he said. He took a few steps forward, stood in front of the box and looked at it meaningfully before leaving the rest to the person who brought it.
"I'm really not good at this. It's okay to treat patients and save people. Since my sisters have already counted this money, I guess there won't be any mistakes. Just leave it to my servants to count it."
Si Ning waved his hands away from the shopkeeper and walked aside to drink tea.
The maid saw everything, and when Uncle Wang counted the money, Si Ning signed the handover letter handed over by the maid, indicating that the money was received.
She contacted the grain store early in the morning and explained the situation to the shopkeeper.
Although food prices continue to rise after the epidemic, the price of food purchased by the government will not be so outrageous.
From beginning to end, Si Ning only showed his face and did nothing.
After the grain was ready at the grain store, Sining had people take him to an empty grain warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
This was what the eldest princess had told her before. She should not take out the food immediately after buying it. She had to tell the emperor.
Si Ning did as he was told. He had been busy buying and storing food for the past few days, and it was only today that he finally had some free time.
I planned to rest in the house for a day, but the eldest princess called me to the house again.
"How's it going?"
Facing the eldest princess, Si Ning was very humble. She told the truth about the progress of the past few days.
The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction, "I didn't expect that at your young age, you would be able to do things quickly. Since the food is already in place, we will spread it out in a few days. In the name of the imperial court, what do you think?" "
Si Ning, "The eldest princess alone has the final say."
The eldest princess was very satisfied with Si Ning's submission and gave him a few words of advice.
"I actually think you're pretty good, but you're just too charming in appearance and not steady enough in your actions. You have to be careful with your words and deeds in the future. If you do this job well, I will speak kindly to you in front of the Emperor. That’s right, but you can’t get carried away because of this, do you understand?”
"Si Ning remember the teachings of the eldest princess."
No matter what the eldest princess said, Si Ning showed her understanding in a good-natured manner.
The eldest princess didn't want to continue to attack, so she waved her hand to let her go down first.
Si Ning got on the carriage and was about to go back to the mansion but was stopped by the maid of the eldest princess' mansion.
"Mrs. Lu, the eldest princess said that the weather is cold and cold, and the rice must be stored properly, otherwise it will become moldy and you will not be able to eat it. Remember this."
"Yes, Si Ning took note of it."
Seeing Si Ning's carriage go away, the maid turned around and went back to resume her life.
She told the eldest princess about Si Ning's reaction, and the eldest princess nodded.
"It's good now that I've written it down."
"Princess, I think that Mrs. Lu is not a serious person. That day you asked your servant to watch her count the silver coins. She gave them all to the servant who brought you. She also said that it was okay for her to treat illnesses and save people, but nothing else made sense. .”
The eldest princess took the tea cup on the table, opened the lid, blew on it, and replied calmly.
"It's normal for a concubine like her not to understand this. If she knew everything, it would be difficult."
"What did Qin Tianjian say?"
"Back to the princess, Qin Tianjian said that it will only take two days, so you won't have to wait too long."
The eldest princess listened, took a sip of tea, placed the tea cup on the table, and stood up slowly.
"In this case, I should go to the palace."
