I don't want to be king

"Then you pay me for the cucumber, or I will report to the police and sue you for theft!"

Guan Xiaoqi said very angrily.

Lin Yi said disdainfully, "A cucumber, do you have the nerve to report it to the government?

Do you know which way the Yamen opens? "

Guan Xiaoqi said loudly, "Well, how about you help me carry things into the city, and I'll give you ten catties of water chestnuts, ten catties of lotus root, and another copper coin?

A lazy man like you is still idle, why don't you earn a few more cents, and you can have a drink on a hot day. "

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's worth five copper coins, so why should I agree?"

Guan Xiaoqi said, "A slob like you, who can trust you, is willing to entrust the work to you, that is, I have nothing to do, so I found you."

"That's right, I'm also idle when I'm idle,"

Seeing that she was interesting, Lin Yi stopped teasing her, but still said with a reluctant attitude, "Then you lead the way, and I will lead the donkey and follow."

Guan Xiaoqi said happily, "I'm going by water, and you won't be able to overtake me after passing the front. You can take the path from here, follow the sweet potato field, and go directly to the village in front. I'm at the fork in the river. Wait for you."

Lin Yi said, "Okay, that's the deal."

After Guan Xiaoqi and her boat disappeared at the corner of the river, Lin Yi turned to look at Jiao Zhong beside him.

Jiao Zhong respectfully handed over a stack of bank tickets and said, "My lord, why don't you keep it first?"

He has been listening clearly from the side all the time, and the conversation between the two is only funny.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "No, I'll go to that village later to have a look, it's just an urgent matter, you can't come out and make trouble for me."

Jiao Zhong hesitated and said, "This subordinate obeys."

After finishing speaking, he whispered a few words to the guards next to him.

When they entered the village with the prince, they had to make a stop in advance, otherwise something unexpected happened, and they "don't care about world affairs" with the prince, and people like He Jixiang, He Hong, and Hong Ying would definitely want their heads.

Business is a must.

Lin Yi pinched two fingers to his mouth and blew a loud slogan. Although the donkey was reluctant to hear it, he got out of the water. After landing, he shook off the rain on his body and followed the barefooted donkey. Behind Lin Yi.

"My lord,"

Jiao Zhong appeared next to Lin Yi again, "Guan Xiaoqi's father, Guan Sheng, is ill. Rumor has it that he has tuberculosis. People in the village dare not associate with their family. Please think twice."

"tuberculosis?"

Lin Yi stopped abruptly. He thought about the encounter with Guan Xiaoqi just now, as if he had no close contact with him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your doctor is definitely tuberculosis?"

Jiao Zhong shook his head and said, "This kind of family can't afford a doctor. It's just that people in the village say so. No one dares to contact the father and daughter. Someone has suggested sending them to the mountains."

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Let me go and have a look first, if the situation is not good, I will withdraw early."

In the end, curiosity got the upper hand.

He still wanted to see what was going on.

Under the setting sun, he walked through patches of sweet potatoes.

Although these lands are barren, the sweet potatoes are not picky and grow very luxuriantly.

After walking for a mile or so, he saw a figure waving at him.

"Hey, you're quite trustworthy,"

Guan Xiaoqi held the bamboo pole in both hands and said, "I've been waiting for you for so long, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Thank you for the compliment,"

Seeing her covering her mouth and nose with a thick cloth, Lin Yi was very surprised, then smiled and said, "I almost didn't recognize you like this."

Chapter 419 Allergies

"Um,"

Guan Xiaoqi inadvertently pulled up the coarse cloth on his face, covered his mouth and nose more tightly, then nodded to Lin Yi and said, "Stay away from me, just give me the donkey, you Wait by the side."

Such a detailed movement caught Lin Yi's eyes immediately, and he said with great relief, "What do you want a donkey for?"

This woman has absolutely no bad heart.

If a person cheats, he will never do it so carefully.

Guan Xiaoqi said, "The donkey took the lotus root and water chestnut to sell in the city."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Tomorrow morning is the best time to go to the city, it will be dark now, who are you going to sell to?"

Guan Xiaoqi held his head up and said proudly, "You don't know that, the water chestnuts and lotus roots that my father and I picked have always been demanded by restaurants, even at night, they still need fresh ones. It's hot and the colors are not good-looking Yes, they don't want it either."

"What kind of restaurant has so many problems,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The lotus root and water chestnut will not be damaged after a day."

This show is going to beat him!

He will not be so picky!

Guan Xiaoqi's face flushed suddenly, and he hesitated, "Do you know the Wenxiang Tower in the city?"

"Of course I know. In the brothels in Ankang City, it is said that the newest oiran, Liu Bie Niang, the most beautiful woman in the world, comes from Wenxiang Pavilion. She is so beautiful that no matter how much gold she spends, it is hard to see her face."

As for the place of fireworks in Ankang City, Lin Yi has always been familiar with it, and there is nothing he doesn't know. He smiled and said, "They are all dignitaries and dignitaries, so they are naturally picky about the dishes."

The most important thing is that it is even more extravagant than him.

When he returned to Ankang City, he was so particular about the kitchen of the palace.

As the boss of Daliang Kingdom, he naturally has the right to enjoy wealth beyond his knowledge.

However, enjoyment is enjoyment, but spending money is like running water, so he can't accept it.

For some fresh seafood from the sea, three fast horses were exhausted to death!

For the lychees he likes to eat, he needs to spend a hundred taels of silver every day.

Labor, horses, storage, scheduling, everything costs money.

The scholars in Ankang City have already written poems to scold him: Yiqi Hongchen and Wang Xiao, no one knows that it is Lizhi.

Occasionally, if one does not pay attention, human life will be involved.

Everyone is secretly working hard for his little appetite!

He is a person who seeks enjoyment, but he cannot bear to sacrifice other people's lives and families for his ignorant pleasure.

Now, whether it's with the palace or in the palace, it's all about what can be done.

Fortunately, Emperor Delong was plagued by illness and lost his power, so he didn't have too high requirements for his appetite. Under normal circumstances, he would eat whatever was prepared in the imperial dining room, and he would never ask for anything.

Even Concubine Yuan Gui, Lin Yi did not dare to try his best to satisfy her. How much manpower and material resources would it take to bring the fruits from the south into Ankang City!

Although Concubine Yuan Gui was very upset, Lin Yi had no choice.

His wife is human, so others are not human?

I'm used to drinking human blood, and I don't know how I died in the end!

Especially feudal society!

Lin Yi has always kept this historical cycle law in mind.

What's more, this Daliang country was already in dire straits, and if the three catties of rotten iron on this rotten ship were tossed, the Daliang country's life would really be exhausted.

Cherish what you have at the moment.

As a human being, don't be too capricious.

Some food is good enough, so why ask for so much?

He stayed in Sanhe for a long time, so he learned from Sanhe people: thrift.

Eat what you can bite, and cook soup if you can't.

If you can't bite and are bitter, go to soak in wine.

If you can't soak it, you must make it into a bead!

Otherwise, you will die!

"You really know?"

Guan Xiaoqi didn't believe it at first, and then without waiting for Lin Yi to reply, he said calmly, "I understand, you lazy people wander around every day, there is nothing you don't know and can't find out."

Lin Yi smiled wryly, "Guan Xiaoqi, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. According to Liang's law, I can also sue the government for malicious slander."

"Then tell me,"

After Guan Xiaoqi finished speaking nonchalantly, he said seriously, "After you help me deliver these water chestnuts and lotus roots to Wenxianglou, I'll add another copper coin to you later."

"I'll give it to you?"

Lin Yi thought Guan Xiaoqi was with him, "Then what are you doing?"

Guan Xiaoqi coughed loudly twice and said, "I'm sick, if you follow me too close, I'll pass it on to you."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "What disease, try to scare me by telling it?"

"tuberculosis!"

Guan Xiaoqi said loudly, "Are you afraid?"

"tuberculosis?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "You're bullying me, I don't know it. You have a ruddy complexion, and you are full of anger when you speak. You don't look like you have tuberculosis. You are deceiving people on purpose."

Guan Xiaoqi said, "I didn't lie to you, my father has tuberculosis, and I probably have it too. If I turn around and give it to you, you will be in trouble."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."

Guan Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "My father said that harming others and yourself will not be rewarded in the next life. You can stand aside. After I put the lotus root and pack it on, I will send it to Wenxiang Tower, and I will say yes." Guan Sheng's."

Lin Yi said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after taking your lotus root and water chestnut?"

"The big deal is to work for nothing, what is it worth?"

Guan Xiaoqi then sighed, "My father said that even if you get tuberculosis, you can't tell how long you will live. How can there be so much time to worry about it?"

Lin Yi asked curiously, "How did you send it in the past, why can't you send it now?"

Guan Xiaoqi said very sincerely, "This disease cannot be passed on to others, and naturally it cannot be passed on to you."

The most important thing is that people in the village shunned their father and daughter, and they really couldn't find anyone to help.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's fine, I, I'll just go out of my way to take this trip for you."

After speaking, he patted the ass of the donkey, and then took a step back.

"donkey……"

Guan Xiaoqi waited until Lin Yi was far enough away from him, jumped off the boat, tied the donkey to a willow tree under the donkey's dissatisfied expression, then jumped into the cabin again, and moved the basket full of water chestnuts to the side of the boat with great effort. .

It was almost to the shore, and anyway, she had to try to lift the baskets to avoid the boat's clappers.

However, her face turned red, and she almost exhausted all her strength to breastfeed, and the basket remained motionless.

Lin Yi was about to step forward to help when he suddenly heard a man's voice coming from the cabin.

"Let me come...cough cough..."

Followed by constant coughing.

"father,"

Guan Xiaoqi didn't care about the basket in his hand, and hurriedly supported the figure who emerged from the cabin, "You don't feel well, just rest more, don't worry about it."

"fine,"

A tall and thin man came out of the cabin, and the layer of sweat soaked on his dark face never fell to the ground, and he said weakly to Guan Xiaoqi, "This is a hundred and ten catties. You are a girl. Where can I go?"

As he said that, he put both hands on the basket, but as soon as he exerted force, he curled up all of a sudden, and the coughing became more severe.

"Daddy, daddy,"

Guan Xiaoqi supported his arm with one hand, patted his back with the other, and said nervously, "Are you all right?"

"Can't die,"
