Chapter 1456 The Grace of Not Killing

Changyi snorted, "You should be glad you didn't meet someone kind-hearted, so you can meet me."

What does the appearance of the lady meet a kind-hearted person? She escaped the fate of being sold, and she was also a concubine who was confiscated.

Mrs. Zhao blinked, "So I'm lucky."

"You should say that you and I are destined."

Mrs. Zhao laughed, "Okay, okay, it's all because of fate that I met you."

Satisfied, Changyi sighed, "I still remember how miserable the drought was."

Mrs. Zhao, "Yes, it's too miserable."

The carriage went fast, and arrived at the county government office in the evening. Xuemei came out to greet her ahead of time when she got the news, and her eyes turned red when she saw her parents, "Father, mother, my daughter made the two elders suffer."

Changyi looked at his daughter, "You lost weight."

Then he looked at his son-in-law with dissatisfaction, Liu Feng's heart tightened, his father-in-law's eyes were too sharp, and he stepped forward bravely, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law has worked hard all the way."

Changyi hummed coldly, looked at the county government office, then glanced at the standing housekeeper and other servants, and walked inside with his hands behind his back.

Zhao said to her son-in-law, "Your father worried about you all the way, he just likes to carry it."

There was a smile in Liu Feng's eyes. He came to the county government office for a year, and his father-in-law helped him a lot. With his father-in-law's support, the government office gave him a lot of support.

From the front yard of the county government office to the back yard, Changyi looked carefully at everything he could see, and finally felt that he was really poor. The paintings hanging in the house, he could tell at a glance that they were drawn by his son-in-law.

Mrs. Zhao also feels sorry for her daughter's residence. The furniture in the daughter's house in the capital is all expensive wood, and the furniture here is only about practicality.

Yushuang, "Mother, don't look at it, just sit down and rest."

Mrs. Zhao sat down and hugged her grandson, "Your father and I brought you a lot of food, and your grandma thought of you and also packed two carts of food."

Xuemei was embarrassed, "Mother, we have food."

The food at home was not sold at all, and it was shipped over after the autumn harvest.

As the grain donations proceeded, the household department was the busiest department in the capital. Zhou Shuren had a list of grain donations in his hand. His eyes fell on Zhang Jinghong's name, and he called Zhang Jinghong, "Did you donate five hundred shi?"

Zhang Jinghong nodded,

"Yes, the list is correct."

"I thought you would keep a low profile."

Zhang Jinghong, "The lower officials don't donate much."

Zhou Shuren said, "You are an individual, not a family. If you donate five hundred shi personally, don't you say much?"

Zhang Jinghong lowered his head, feeling bitter in his heart. He knew that the weather was abnormal and he hadn’t sold any food at home, but now he wanted to donate most of it. private."

His identity is always a problem. He must always show his loyalty to the emperor and appreciate the royal family's grace of not killing.

Zhou Shuren was silent. He thought that Zhang Jinghong had a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, and he had a solid family background. "Go back."

A warm current flashed in Zhang Jinghong's heart. Lord Zhou has taken great care of him these years, "Thank you, Lord, for your reminder."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Go and get busy."

Then I continued to look at the food donation booklet, my brows became tighter and tighter, and then I took out the list of advance payments for next month's salary. Salary.

Fortunately, the imperial court has a good policy towards officials, and officials can advance up to three months' salary in case of difficulties.

The two lists were sent to the palace, he didn't want to worry about it anymore, let the emperor worry about it.

In the palace, the emperor was very disappointed when he didn't see Zhou Shuren enter the palace. He still wanted to discuss his ideas with Zhou Shuren, but it was a pity that Zhou Shuren didn't have to go into the palace.

After reading it, the emperor handed it to the prince, "Look at it."

The crown prince looked at the roster of the advance salary, "The benefits of the Wen family taking the lead in donating more outweigh the disadvantages."

The emperor hummed, "These ministers can still live on their salaries in advance, but the common people can only rely on the court."

The prince raised his head and said, "Father, my son heard that my younger brothers want to donate food."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Why, you also want to donate food?"

The prince spread his hands, "The queen mother really wants to help her son prepare, but the son doesn't want it. Father, you are the son's father. The son doesn't have enough money for his younger brothers, so I can only ask you to help my son prepare food."

The emperor snorted, "Your mother prepared it for you, you don't want it, do you care if I want it?"

The prince bent his eyes, "A son still has a younger brother. The mother prepares for the younger brother, and the father prepares for the son. You see how fair it is."

The emperor had a smile in his eyes, and the prince was close to him, and he was even happier that the prince would tell him whatever was on his mind, "Slippery."

The prince knew it was done, gloated, the younger brothers were prepared with the help of their mother clan, and he didn't spend a single coin, so it's true that he has trouble finding his father!

In Zhoujia Village, Jiang Miao came to Jiang's house in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Jiang Miao was settling accounts with her mother-in-law. This year's grain was not sold, and the income from the field was reduced, but there were more human relations.

Dong Yiyi said, "Patriarch Zhou is here."

Ming Qing said, "Auntie, I'm here to deliver a letter to Sister Jiang Miao."

Jiang Miao was surprised, "My letter?"

Ming and Qing explained, "I wrote a letter to go to Beijing, and I have a letter to you when I come back together."

Jiang Miao took it over, there was a reply from his mother, and a letter from his grandmother, so he didn't rush to read it, "Thank you, Brother Qingming."

Ming Qing waved his hand, "Thank you, you helped me a lot in Zhoujia Village."

Jiang Miao comforted the members of the Zhou clan when he fled last time. This time, the merchants bought grain at a high price, but the Jiang family did not sell it, and few of the Zhou clan sold grain. As the patriarch, it was much easier for him to handle clan affairs.

Jiang Miao smiled, "Brother Mingqing is exaggerating, the affairs of the clan all depend on Brother Mingqing."

Dong Yiyi was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Not to mention the benefits of her daughter-in-law wearing a watch, she said that her daughter-in-law was very good at handling things. She didn't marry her, but she only knew that her daughter-in-law was quiet. The daughter-in-law brought her too many surprises.

Before Ming and Qing left, he thought for a while and said, "I heard from my wife that the Jiang family sold grain."

Jiang Miao, "I know."

Ming Qing smiled, "It's good that you know, I'll go back first."

"Okay, I won't see you off."

After Jiang Miao and others left, she was speechless to the second uncle. She would not borrow food if she couldn't buy food at that time.

In Beijing, the yamen under the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhou Shuren accidentally saw Mingrui, "Did you come home after school?"

Mingrui helped grandpa get into the carriage, "Grandson made an appointment with Shangguan Liu to go to the bookstore, and when I saw it was late, I happened to drop by to pick up grandpa."

Zhou Shuren met Shangguan Liu, "I seem to have heard from his grandfather that he is seeing someone and wants to get engaged?"

Mingrui nodded, "Yes, it's almost settled."

After a pause, he said regretfully, "Shangguan Liu is top-notch in terms of character and family background. If it weren't for the great family background, he would be a good candidate for brother-in-law."

Zhou Shuren also had some regrets, and changed the subject and asked, "How is Liu Yuanbo?"

Mingrui, "He's fine."

There was a smile in Zhou Shuren's eyes, Liu Yuanbo was the most interesting of the three grandson-in-laws, "He matches Yudie very well."

Two people who don't need to take responsibility, just need to live recklessly.
