Chapter 12 Easy to handle

Hearing that the servants said someone was looking for them, the Chen family was a little curious and got out of the carriage, but they didn't see anyone.

I didnt see it, but I saw a bundle. According to the servants, it was sent by the Yamen servant.

Chen Xue and others looked at each other and thought of Xu Tian. Although they were a little curious about why he didn't come over, they thought about it. They had to keep an eye on the exile team, so how could they have time to stay with them.

They opened the bag and saw that there was food inside, such as steamed buns, sesame cakes and the like, and they were immediately not interested.

In the carriage, they were all full. Mainly because after Chen Xue revealed what he had in his sleeves, he simply did not hide it in front of them and brought out all kinds of food anyway.

Eat cakes for a while, preserved fruits for a while, fruits for a while, or eat melon seeds and chat.

Anyway, Im exhausted.

It doesnt matter if they are full, the most important thing is that they are suffering for the people next to them.

Those exiled prisoners were already dizzy from hunger, and some of them had good noses, so they could smell the smell of cakes from time to time. Before they could recall it, it turned into the smell of melon seeds.

In short, the smell of all kinds of food lingered in their noses, arousing the greed in their stomachs.

However, they looked around and couldn't find the source of the smell. They just thought it was the officials on the carriages in front and behind who were eating, and countless resentments emerged in their hearts.

Lets get back to business.

Before Chen Yuan could think about what to do with the food, he saw someone coming and was immediately curious.

What day is it now? Why are everyone coming here?

Is it possible that this is a housewarming celebration?

Isnt it just a carriage change?

When the man came closer, he could see clearly that it was Zhang Yiquan, his colleague. He was the Minister of Left Hubu, and Zhang Yiquan was the Minister of Right Hubu.

They are both familiar with each other, but he rarely interacts with him because he feels that he often flatters others and is hypocritical and not worth interacting with.

This corruption case almost touched upon the entire Ministry of Household Affairs, because the investigation revealed collusion between the upper and lower levels, which led to the embezzlement of disaster relief grains.

Actually, Chen Yuan was ill at the time and asked for leave, so he did not discover the behavior of the Hu Bu. Otherwise, given his character, he would definitely report it.

When he recovered from his illness and went to work, something big happened.

The corruption of disaster relief food was exposed.

The mastermind is Chen Yuan.

In the carriage, Chen Xue and others' faces darkened when they heard Zhang Yiquan's words. He is so shameless. He has put us in this situation. Why does he still want to buy our carriage?

Moreover, he looked kind-hearted and kept talking about giving a donkey cart as a gift, which was simply humiliating.

Its too much to bully others!

Chen Yuan was immediately furious. He turned around and wanted to get out of the carriage to settle the score with him, but was held back by Chen Xue.

Dad, Im coming!

Chen Xue got out of the carriage and looked at Zhang Yiquan, "Master Zhang is very rich?"

Zhang Yiquan didn't expect that Chen Yuan didn't come out, but his daughter came out. He frowned immediately. Did Chen Yuan not want to talk to him and let his daughter reject him?

However, no matter who the daughter is, she seldom sees visitors, especially when meeting other men, she always stays in the boudoir.

But considering that we are in exile now, there are not so many rules.

But I heard that Chen Yuan loved his daughter very much, so how could he let him see her.

He couldn't understand, but he heard Chen Xue continue, "Master Zhang is not short of money, but short of carriages. If we sell it for ten thousand taels, I wonder if Master Zhang is willing to buy it?"

What a beautiful thought!

Zhang Yiquan almost blurted out, but he sneered, "Ten thousand taels, if you don't want to sell it, why bother opening your mouth?"

Chen Xue did not pay attention, but showed a look of realization on her face, "It turns out that Mr. Zhang has no money. I thought that only our family was poor, but it turns out that Mr. Zhang is also very poor."

fart!

Who is as poor as you?

No matter how thick-skinned and tolerant Zhang Yiquan was, he couldn't help but defend himself when he heard these words.

Are you kidding? No matter how miserable our Zhang family is, we can still afford ten thousand taels.

As he said that, he sneered, "It's just that you two are not worthy of the broken carriage."

"Really!"

Then I wish Mr. Zhang that all his wishes will come true and he will get out of the donkey cart as soon as possible!

Hearing the word "donkey cart", Zhang Yiquan seemed to smell the stench on his own body, and his expression suddenly changed. His original aloof attitude was instantly reduced to the world, and he quickly said with a smile.

Well, Miss Chen, I have something to say and something to discuss!

Seeing that their daughter could easily control the once prosperous third-rank official, Chen Yuan and his wife looked at each other, surprised and relieved at the same time that their daughter had grown up.
