Chapter 739 Yan Wo
"Isn't the slave's family offering advice to His Highness the Crown Prince, shouldn't he be rewarded? Hongmei's life is bitter, and she was originally a low life. She dared not ask His Highness the Crown Prince for a position. I only hope that His Highness will use Hongmei's advice tomorrow to win His Majesty's appreciation. Pamper Hongmei for a few days."
As soon as the words fell, Hongmei's tiny, boneless hands reached into the crown of the prince's clothes.
The prince hurriedly clasped Hongmei's little hand, and said in an ambiguous voice, "I couldn't bear it just now, what are you doing to tease Gu again now?"
Hongmei bit her lower lip, pretending to be ashamed, blushing, turned around and pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly, so that the little temper ignored the prince.
The room was filled with the prince's laughter, and the soft words coaxing the little lady in the tent, but Quan Yu, who was standing outside, was now full of Bai Qingyan's frail body.
·
On the second day, when the sky was still bright, Shen Qingzhu had already galloped straight to the door of Princess Zhenguo's mansion, and knocked on the closed door.
The porter opened the door a crack, and the porter looked out through the crack.
The sheepskin lantern outside the Princess Zhenguo's mansion was not extinguished, and the warm soft light reflected Shen Qingzhu's face, which was blue from the cold wind, and her lips were dry and cracked due to lack of water. The porter hurriedly opened the door: "Miss Shen!"
Shen Qingzhu casually threw the whip to the porter, raised his foot and stepped into the door, saying: "Set the horse at the door well, I'll go see the eldest girl!"
As soon as the concierge boy went out, he saw the maned horse that Shen Qingzhu was riding was dripping with sweat, and had already fallen to the ground, his abdomen heaving violently, and his whole body was steaming.
The boy was at a loss for a moment, and turned to call for someone.
This is the precious horse that the eldest girl once gave to Shen Qingzhu. It is so precious that it was used by Miss Shen for such a virtue.
With Ji Tingyu's letter in his arms, Shen Qingzhu didn't dare to delay and trot all the way to Qinghui Courtyard, knocking on the door of Qinghui Courtyard.
The servant woman of Qinghuiyuan woke up when she heard the knock on the door, put on her blue padded jacket, got up and pulled her shoes out of the side room, and asked, "Who is it?"
"Shen Qingzhu!"
Shen Qingzhu, the servant of Qinghui Courtyard, knew about it, and said respectfully: "Miss Shen, later, this servant will tell the eldest and second daughter!"
Last night, Bai Jinxiu rested at Bai Qingyan's Qinghui Courtyard. Bai Jinxiu sent the night watch girl to take care of Bai Qingyan herself at night.
Hearing Shen Qingzhu's knock on the door, the lights in the upper room of Qinghui Courtyard were already on, and the maid walked to the window and whispered: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss... Shen Qingzhu, Miss Shen is here!"
"Let Qingzhu come in!" Bai Qingyan's voice came from inside.
"Yes!" The servant woman responded, and trotted over to open the door for Shen Qingzhu.
Bai Jinxiu put on a coat, and was about to help Bai Qingyan, but saw her sitting up.
Soon Shen Qingzhu opened the curtain and entered the door, and she galloped to the cold air all over her body. When she entered, she was afraid that the cold air would be passed on to the elder girl, so she stood behind the screen and took out the small bamboo tube from her heart, saying: "Eldest girl, two Girl, Ji Tingyu has delivered the letter!"
Bai Jinxiu and Bai Qingyan looked at each other, hurriedly came out from the screen, took over the very thin bamboo tube, and said to Shen Qingzhu: "There is hot tea on the small stove, you should drink some tea first, and have some snacks as a cushion."
Shen Qingzhu nodded.
Running fast all the way, Shen Qingzhu didn't even dare to drink his saliva, for fear of wasting time.
Shen Qingzhu couldn't care less about cleaning his hands and changing his clothes at the moment, so he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, blew on it and drank it.
Bai Qingyan poured out the letter from the small bamboo tube, and unfolded the soft paper inside. There were only a few words: Snow disaster in Yanwo, food shortage in Huweiling.
Bai Qingyan's palms tightened, Huwei Ridge was between Hu Shui and Yan Wo.
Ji Tingyu is short of food, presumably because of helping the Yanwo victims.
It is true that Yan Wo has been troubled by many disasters in the past two years.
The year before last, Yanwo had a severe drought in July and snowstorms in winter. In the past three years, heavy rains in the next month caused floods, fertile fields were flooded, and the people of Yanwo became refugees.
Just last year, Ji Tingyu robbed soldiers from three places, because the government always sent people to search... He had to hide in the deep mountain maze. Dare to investigate carefully, at the end of October, not long after the news arrived in the capital city, before the imperial court had time to send people to investigate, the Wudemen Rebellion broke out.
Later, when the Wudemen rebellion subsided and the capital city returned to calm again, the crown prince sent three officials to investigate the matter in three places in mid-November. check.
The matter dragged on to the end of the new year, and there were faint signs of causing panic among the people. There were even family members whose husbands and sons were called to join the army to make a fuss in front of the government office.
In addition, since no soldiers were lost elsewhere, the prince discussed with Elder Fang that the number of troops lost was not too many, and came up with a countermeasure that the army had found, so...these soldiers' food and salaries could all go into the prince's pocket, and the money It can be used to please the emperor.
And the prince has this convenient condition. After all, the Bai family army is now the prince's soldiers. The prince can give Shen Kunyang a secret order, saying that these soldiers are transferred to the southern border and Shen Kunyang recognizes them. Only in this way can the panic of the domestic people be calmed down.
The emperor was obsessed with elixir and the pursuit of immortality, so he didn't care about this matter, so the prince acted like this.
The prince announced in advance that the recruits had been sent to southern Xinjiang, and when the secret order arrived at Shen Kunyang, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Shen Kunyang sent a letter back to Shuoyang. When Bai Qingyan knew it, he didn't say anything. He only sent a letter telling Shen Kunyang that he could be justified. The soldiers in Bai Qingjue's hands were taken to the barracks, and they were called recruits, and they were trained well.
"Snow disaster in Yanwo?!" Bai Jinxiu was quite surprised, "Daducheng has not received any news!"
"The last time there was a famine in Yanwo, Li Mao would not have chosen to release it if the fraud case in the examination room hadn't been exposed. Now that the snowstorm in Yanwo is presumably...the news is still suppressed." Bai Qingyan frowned. Start thinking about food.
"Elder Sister, I can figure out how to deal with the food. Shuoyang is training soldiers, and I'm a daughter of the Bai family. It's not surprising to buy food and send it there, but...how to send it to Ji Tingyu has to be carefully thought out. " Bai Jinxiu said.
"It's too eye-catching for you to do this, I'll do it..." Bai Qingyan tapped his fingers on the table of Chen Xiangmu, "Huayang and Qinhuai are plagued by epidemics in Yanwo Snowstorm, if the Bai family is willing to use the Bai family's private property to buy and donate a batch of grain, the prince would be very willing to come."
Bai Qingyan thought of one person, Shen Tianzhi, the prefect of Shuoyang.
Since Shen Tianzhi, the prefect of Shuoyang, said that he was the escape route his father left for the Bai family in Shuoyang, then...Bai Qingyan will use him this time.
The place of Yanwo can be regarded as the land of fertile land in the state of Jin, because the land there is fertile...the food production is large, so it was called Yanwo when Empress Ji was in power, and this place name has continued to this day.
