Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

The troublemaker immediately pricked up his ears and looked at the street below the teahouse with bright eyes.

I saw that this wide main street was crowded with people, discussing happily one by one.

"Because of the heavy rain in Mingzhou and Runzhou, the Changning County Lord exchanged all his jewelry for silver, and a full 1 taels of silver were used to build the embankment!"

"The chief of Changning County is generous in his actions. He is worthy of being the granddaughter of the eldest princess!"

There were voices of praise one after another, and some people who had hidden schemes in their stomachs started shouting immediately.

"There are sixteen state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid this amount of money is not enough."

"Could it be that he deliberately pretended to show us!"

The man who first brought up this matter widened his eyes, waved him aside impatiently, and said to the other onlookers: "Although I don't know why Changning County Lord did this, but she gave it honestly. With so much money, when some people speak, they should weigh how much they have contributed to Jiangnan!"

His words immediately pulled those hesitant people back.

Seeing the excited expressions of the people around him, he was obviously moved by this move. He cleared his throat, and said, "Mingzhou and Runzhou have continuous heavy rains. Once flooding occurs, none of the sixteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River will be spared. Changning County Lord You are pampered and well aware of the seriousness of this matter, and you all regard Jiangnan as your home, if you have the ability, why not contribute to the construction of dams!"

As soon as these words came out, the bustling street suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, a weak voice sounded: "My house is completely empty, and I still have an old mother who needs to be supported. If I pay money...it will really embarrass me!"

At this time, a clear young voice responded loudly: "If you don't have any money, why don't you go to the mansion of the county lord of Changning, I heard that he is recruiting workers for the construction of the embankment!"

As the boy's words fell, there was also a voice of agreement.

"When I came here, I also heard that if there is a flood, it must be fierce and there will be no chance for people to breathe. The Changning County Lord was worried that the labor force would not be able to reinforce the dam in time, so he paid out of his own pocket and asked people to repair it! Not only If you can eat meat every meal, you will get more wages!"

"Such good things don't happen often! What's more, building dams is also good for us! If we are not forced to do nothing, who would want to leave their hometown?"

"Yes!"

"It makes sense."

As the crowd nodded in agreement, some people from poor families with some strength were secretly shaken.

If it is true as they said, the construction of the embankment this time is not impossible!

While everyone was discussing, the young man who had just spoken took the opportunity to slip out of the crowd.

He looked at the familiar faces in the crowd, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he quickly entered an alley again.

There, several tall men were waiting here.

"Thank you, General!"

Seeing the handsome face of the leader, his eyes lit up, and he trotted up to the man.

Hearing this, Xie Yanjun frowned: "Young Master Qin, I'm just a guard next to the county lord, so I can't afford to be called a general."

Qin Yu's still somewhat childish face was full of displeasure. He was concerned about the people behind Xie Yan, so he suppressed his thoughts and said in a muffled voice: "You have excellent martial arts skills, wisdom and courage. One day, you will definitely be able to be a Go up to the powerful general!"

When Xie Yan rescued him that day, he left an indelible and tall image in his heart.

Behind Xie Yan, brothers Yue Ming and Yue Rong nodded in approval.

Only Xie Yan's face remained condensed: "Since Mr. Qin has completed the task arranged by the county lord, he can go back to his residence now. Jiang Ning is not peaceful these days. Many people in the Jiang family are looking for your trace, trying to find you. out of your back."

Hearing this, Qin Yu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

He nodded, but looked at Xie Yan very reluctantly.

Until being taken away by Yue Rong, he still looked back frequently.

In the streets and alleys of Jiangning, there are rumors that the county magistrate of Changning has spent a lot of money.

Contrary to the various guesses of the common people, some aristocratic families in Jiangning prepared money early on, and asked their girls of the right age to visit Gu Ning.

But anyone with some political consciousness can smell an opportunity from this move.

Gu Ning is not worth mentioning, but the Pei family behind her is a weathervane, as long as you follow the Pei family, you must be right.

Besides, building dams is also beneficial to them. It can not only save Jiangning from flooding, but also take this opportunity to boost the family's reputation!Why not do such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

As a result, the alley at the entrance of the other courtyard was blocked by horse-drawn carriages from the aristocratic families who had heard the news.

Everyone wants a piece of it!

Gu Ning looked at the girls who were smiling like flowers in the room, and the corners of his mouth never let go.

This is all here to give her money.

Who can live with money?

She casually flipped through the rosters, seeing Chunyu's specially marked gift value on the back, her beautiful peach eyes smiled more sincerely.

"Everyone is for the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so I will accept all these things." Gu Ning said with a smile, "I will ask the maid to sort it out afterwards and send it to Lu Yushi."

When some women who were skeptical heard that it was Lu Yushi, their doubts disappeared immediately.

Everyone knew that Lu Yushi was upright, and he didn't even give face to the emperor, so he stayed in Yangzhou forever, without the chance of promotion.

However, even if Lu Yushi angered the emperor, he could still receive the emperor's courtesy. No one in the entire Chu country dared to cheat in front of him.

In this way, the silver and treasures they sent will definitely be used in the construction of the embankment.

Just when their minds were floating, they heard Gu Ning cleared his throat from above.

"As the head of the county, I should lead by example in front of these disasters." She said, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if with a lot of sadness, "It's just that I didn't bring so much silver with me when I came to the south of the Yangtze River. It's powerless."

"So..." Gu Ning paused for a while, and waved towards the door.

Following her movements, more than a dozen maids came in one after another, all holding a brocade box in their hands. They carefully opened the brocade box, and the radiant gems and jewelry made everyone hold their breath.

Gu Ning said softly: "These gems and jewelry are my most beloved things. I want to sell them and use the silver I get for disaster relief."

"The items that the county lord loves are naturally worth thousands of gold. If you want to sell them, it may take a lot of time."

The first to speak was Chen Yuxiang, the eldest daughter of the Chen family. Her eyes were always glued to the opal in the middle, and she was reluctant to move away.

She stabilized her mind, and asked tentatively: "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, I can buy these gems with money, which can be considered as a contribution to the people in the south of the Yangtze River."

This is what Gu Ning was waiting for!

But when everyone looked at her, she reluctantly lingered on these gems and jewelry for a long time, as if reluctant to part.

Her appearance made many people want to move.

All these things in front of them are worth thousands of gold.

But such fineness, such craftsmanship, even if they come from a family, it is rare to see them.

Now that such a good opportunity is in front of them, they naturally want to firmly grasp it.

Not only Chen Yuxiang, but also many women with a lot of savings also opened their mouths to buy their favorite things.

Gu Ning covered the corners of her upturned mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Since I took them out today, I will not take them back. If you ladies are willing to buy them, that would be great."

The jewelry that Chu Yunyi brought from the capital this time was only a few pieces, plus the gemstones he sent yesterday, there were only [-] pieces in general, and within a quarter of an hour, they were wrapped up by these rich and powerful families. up.

Gu Ning got the money, and they got the things they love, and they were all happy.

Seeing the several boxes of silver being delivered one after another, Gu Ning rolled his eyes with a smile.

As soon as Chu Yunyi walked into the yard, he covered his eyes.

I saw dozens of boxes of silver placed in the courtyard, and the silver light almost blinded people's eyes.

He was stunned for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back the shock in his heart, and looked at Gu Ning eagerly: "Where did Ning'er get so much money?"

"Speaking of which, I still want to thank Your Highness!" Gu Ning said sincerely and sincerely, "If it wasn't for the gems and jewelry His Highness gave me, I would definitely not be able to exchange so much money!"

"Those ladies are generous. With this 5 taels of silver, Lu Yushi's urgent need will definitely be solved!"

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi's words turned into silent anger.

He swallowed the resentment, and squeezed out a gentle smile: "This plan is very good, I have heard about it, and now the streets and alleys are spreading your reputation, I wonder how Ning'er came up with it?"

Gu Ning didn't seem to hear his temptation, his eyes were very clear, and he replied innocently: "It's said in the story book."

"What?" Chu Yunyi looked at her in disbelief.

Gu Ning still looked ignorant, answering every question: "I thought about it for a long time last night, I have a bad reputation, and after getting engaged to you, it will be even worse."

"I think you must be bothered by these gossips, that's why you have a tryst with those vixen." Gu Ning said convincingly, "It's said in the scriptures, if you want to please your sweetheart, you must be consistent with your sweetheart, you Serving the people wholeheartedly, I naturally want to be like you!"

Chu Yunyi didn't know what kind of expression he should make in response to Gu Ning's words.

Should he be happy that Gu Ning still cared about him, or should he be angry that Gu Ning sold all the things he worked so hard to get?

"Is Your Highness not happy?" Gu Ning's face turned cold, and he said displeased, "Or do you prefer those vixens..."

"Of course not. I'm too happy for you to have such a change." Chu Yunyi hastily interrupted her, soothing her softly, "Besides, I only have you in my heart. Don't be fooled by those illusions."

Gu Ning nodded obediently, and looked at him with eyes full of dependence.

This is just the first step, next...

Tremble!Scumbag!
