Chapter 876 Refugees Entering The City

Qian Yin replied with curiosity in her eyes. She looked at Yun Shang with burning eyes, smiled fawningly and asked softly, "Your highness, what's your plan? It looks like a profound one. "

Yun Shang glanced at her and sneered, "You can't keep the secret with your mouth. I won't tell you for the time being. You'll know in a while. Now you just need to give an order and do as I say. If someone comes to ask what the seventh princess has taken in the Xiao's, let the shopkeeper tell him that it's a good thing. It seems to be a treasure of the royal family from the State of Ning. Remember not to mention more details apart from that. Just follow the rules of the pawnshop.

By the way, are these pawns dead or live?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at Qian Yin.

Qian Yin hurriedly replied, "Dead pawn. If someone offers the right price, I'll ask the shopkeeper to sell it."

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "The price can be a little higher. Don't worry. Someone will buy it."

Qian Yin's eyes lit up and she smiled happily, "Your highness is more like a profiteer than me. Since your highness said so, I know what to do. I'll tell them when I go back."

Yun Shang nodded, and Qian Yin left the room in a hurry.

Yun Shang looked out of the window at the dim sky. After a long silence, she said softly, "The weather is getting cold. It's time to buy new clothes. Ask someone to prepare it. Let Qian Shui bring me some fashionable clothes. Bao'er's skin is delicate and the fabric should be the best silk. "

"Okay," Qian Yin replied with a smile. After thinking for a while, she asked softly, "In a few days, your highness will have your eighteen-year-old birthday. Do you want to have the decoration arranged well? "

Eighteen years old. There was a touch of sadness in Yun Shang's eyes. In her previous life, she died at the age of eighteen. She had changed her life for herself, but she didn't know what would happen at the age of eighteen in this life.

"No, thanks. I'm still young. There is no need for my birthday party?" Yun Shang answered softly.

Qin Yi had a different opinion. She thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it's the birthday of your highness. There was no good celebration last year, but this year, the status is different. I'm afraid that even if we don't take the initiative to send out the invitation, there will definitely be countless people coming to congratulate us. It's better to invite several ladies who have a good relationship with you to have a small banquet, so that we can show our hospitality. "

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and finally nodded. She said softly, "You can arrange it. But it's just a small banquet. I don't want everyone to know it."

"I know," Qin Yi replied with a smile.

"Your Highness, Dr. Chen is here. She is waiting downstairs," Hua'er came in and reported in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yun Shang turned around and said, "Please come up. Since she is taking care of Bao'er, I should have a talk with her in person."

Hua'er answered and left. Not long after, soft footsteps came from outside. Yun Shang looked up at the bead curtain, and saw Chen Miaosi open the curtain and come in. "Nice to see you, your highness."

Y

ue Yan, there will be no problem. I'm relieved to have her by my side,"

Yun Shang moved her eyes away and looked at the place not far away. She sighed and said, "The steward of our mansion is here. I'm afraid he has to check the account book again."

Yun Shang turned around and sat down on the couch. After a while, there footsteps of someone coming upstairs, and then came Hua'er's voice, "Your highness, steward Guo wants to see you."

"Come in," Yun Shang said weakly.

Steward Guo walked in with a lot of account books in his hands as Yun Shang expected, but he looked a little embarrassed. His originally good clothes had a long cut, and his hair was a little messy.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "What's wrong with you, steward Guo? Did you fall on the road? "

Steward Guo shook her head and sighed, "I don't know where many refugees have come. They all want to squeeze into the city. The city gate guards don't allow them to enter, and I'm also blocked outside. It took me a long time to enter the city, and I ended up like this."

"Refugees?" Yun Shang frowned, "Why are there so many refugees all of a sudden?"

Steward Guo thought for a while and said, "I heard that there was a drought in summer this year. People got no harvest and starved to death. If they want to live, they have to leave their hometown and wander around. Perhaps they think that Jin City is under the feet of the emperor, and there must be many people coming to help them, so they are rushing to the city. There are so many of them. I was shocked just now. "

"Drought?" Yun Shang frowned and remembered what Luo Qingyan said.

Luo Qingyan said that he had received memorials from these three places, Liucang City, Nanyang City and Siyang City. They all said that it seldom rained in these three places this summer.

Thinking of the day when Xia Huanyu called them into the palace, Luo Qingyan said that he knew that Xia Houjing wouldn't be locked up for long, but it was not the right time, because he hadn't arranged it well.

Yun Shang frowned and wondered what Luo Qingyan's arrangement was? And what about the refugees?
