Wang Yuandao is an old man who doesn't have that flowery intestines, he is used to being unrestrained by himself, and he will not feel lonely and lonely when he is with the brothers in Guigu, of course, if the prince wants to make a joke, let him make a few jokes, and it doesn't hurt.

As for the female officials under Hongchen's hands, it is unknown whether there is anyone who has taken a fancy to this one.
However, it is not impossible.
Hongchen himself also knows that although Wang Yuandao is a little older, he is nothing at all, the eighty old men of the Great Zhou Dynasty, talented or talented, there are still beautiful women who want to marry.
Women are not easy, old husbands and young wives can't say that they can live more comfortably, Wang Yuandao is far from being old in the eyes of girls. Most of the female officials of the county lord's mansion are mature and older.
After Lin Xu made fun of his loyal subordinates, he looked back and was actually a little heartbroken.
Look at the people under his hand, warm and beautiful sweaters, wool hats, scarves, gloves, and even woolen socks, all armed, just dressed neatly, swaggering in front of him.
But what about him, he didn't have any of them.
Today's weather is fine, Hongchen took Luo Niang and Xiao Yan and came over to reconcile with Lin Xu with the account book, and it was rare to see Lin Dagongzi's face showing a little depression.
Hongchen glanced at it and knew what he was thinking, and he smiled.
"Do you think this is a good thing? I don't even have to wear it. Hongchen just hooked a handbag and a pair of wool slippers by himself, and didn't wear anything else.
With a beautiful fur cloak and staying in a warm house, who wouldn't want to wear a sweater?
Can the sweater be as warm as her fox fur?
"Those are just emergency things, ask for a cheap, ordinary people can afford to wear them with a little money, if you wear them, it will not be suitable."
"Hmm."
Lin Xu drooped his head and smiled.
Hey, but, these people received gifts from the girls, and they were all happy, and they went around to show off, so that he also wanted it.
What he wants is something from his own girl, and he doesn't care if it's good or not, useful or not.
"It's useless to look at me, my eldest son Lin, I'm so busy that I have to save time to sleep, and I don't have time to knit sweaters for you."
Hongchen smiled, remembering that she took the time to play in the Yujue space last night, only to be teased by the powers, saying that she should also knit a warm brand sweater for her sweetheart, but unfortunately, the idea is very good, time baby, it is really not enough.
patted Prince Lin's arm with his hand, "In the future, when we get through this winter and have leisure, I will also weave for you." ”
Lin Xu smiled suddenly: "That's it, let's give us red dust weaving, so as to save the tiredness of my county lord." ”
Well, the level of Lin Dagongzi's sweet words is not low.
Moreover, Hongchen said that she was looking forward to it, as if the technique of knitting sweaters was not difficult, she also scavenged a lot of patterns, simpler, men should be able to weave, if it is like embroidery, Lin Dagongzi may not be able to do it.
Luo Niang sent two roasted sweet potatoes over, and the two of them were holding and gnawing while looking at the account book and gossiping, which really meant to be multitasking.
After talking about the resettlement of the victims, Lin Xu suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Do you remember the gold bracelet they brought at the beginning when you were in the Mei family?" ”
"The gilded one?"
Hongchen thought for a moment before saying. If Lin Xu hadn't said it, she would have really forgotten.
"The Mei family later checked it carefully, and many things in the house, especially those stored for the children, were replaced, and the gold bracelets and small jewelry, except for the ones that Mrs. Mei often had to take out to play with, nothing else was right."
Lin Xu smiled, "It was that Miss Cousin who did a good deed." ”
Hongchen: "......"
This person's eyelids are inevitably too shallow, so that such a guy who is used to petty theft almost killed his own lone seedling, and the Mei family is useless.
"Compared with that Fang girl's big deal, this kind of petty theft is nothing, and even asked, Hongchen come and guess, what did that person say?"
"What else can you say, the problem that has been cultivated in the palace!"
Hongchen said indifferently, "Those palace maids in the palace, and even female officials, are almost exhausted to do such things." ”
Last year, Niangniang gave her a set of porcelain from the firewood kiln, which was very exquisite and beautiful, and it was also a favorite thing of the mother, but she took it and played with it only to find out that what kind of firewood kiln was simply a knockout product that would be imitated by the prison.
It's not an ordinary thing, it's the queen who likes it very much, so she will take it out and give it to her younger generations, and this is all fake, not to mention the things that have not moved for many years in the warehouse.
Niangniang smiled when she found out, "It's a coincidence, if it wasn't given to you and people noticed, it wouldn't be long before someone would tidy up the warehouse, accidentally break something, and then report a breakage." ”
The queen's expression was flat, "I don't want to check this in detail, if I really want to investigate, I will die some involuntary little minions, why bother!" ”
Although Hongchen didn't quite agree, he didn't say anything.
This queen is also the kind of person who can't rub the sand in her eyes, I heard that she was also vigorous and resolute when she was young, and no one in the palace was afraid, and now she will say such things, presumably I don't know how many times I have been fooled, and I will feel cold.
The queen must also know that such ideas are not good, and she is also afraid that Hongchen will be unhappy, so she immediately said: "I am not energetic and have no strength to check this, when my son is free in the future, I can make them honest for a while." ”
It turns out that I can only be honest for a while.
Hongchen withdrew from his memories and sighed: "The silver that the Great Zhou Dynasty is greedy for up and down has been taken out for disaster relief, and I, the so-called county lord who is not in charge, am afraid that it will be useless, I can happily enjoy the snow and flowers, and spend a leisurely life." ”
"Prince, county lord."
The two of them were talking, and Qiao Zhi didn't know when he entered the door, "Something happened to Anmin in the suburbs, and there are wild beasts infested." ”
Lin Xu was taken aback.
Hongchen was also shocked.
This is no joke!
"What a beast!"
Tigers, leopards, bears, wild boars and the like are not particularly afraid, but wolves.
Hongchen's heart was terrified, if it was a wolf pack, it would be ...... It's not a joke, it's even difficult to fight, you kill one, and I don't know how many will come back to retaliate.
"It was a few wild boars, two people were injured, and no one died."
Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xu tidied up his coat and hat, got up, and helped Hongchen put on his clothes by the way, and the two of them planned to go and see the situation.
As soon as he arrived at the place where the displaced people were resettled in the suburbs, Hongchen's face became gloomy.
It was worse than expected, and just before they arrived, a bear burst into the camp again, and this time a homeless man had been bitten off most of his arm, and the man was dying.
At the moment, there is a shortage of medical treatment, he is so seriously injured, it is difficult to survive, Hongchen took a look, the homeless man himself has no desire to survive, he lost his arm, even if he survives this time, how will he live in the future?
There is no way at all, so I can only ask the doctor to find a way to save the person first.
Lin Xuzai carefully inspected the defensive measures, and let those who could move to cut down all kinds of trees and bamboos to make fences, although the effect is better than nothing, it is better than nothing.
There must also be more manpower to patrol the defense, especially at night, the fire must not be extinguished, it must be burned.
Fortunately, there are walls of fire all around, so there is still some use.
Hongchen looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, frowned, and said, "It's really not good, I'm afraid I have to move some and resettle the displaced people here elsewhere first." ”
Now that the snow is covering the mountain, those wild beasts have no food, and they are so hungry that they may ignore it and go down the mountain to forage for food.
Every winter, there are wild beasts that break into the next kind of thing, in previous years, it was okay, after all, there were houses in the village, which could stop ordinary beasts, but there was nothing at all, if there were wolves besieging them, what could a group of helpless homeless people do? It's not food for the wolf's mouth yet!
Hongchen closed his eyes, his divine sense let go, his face became more and more unsightly, and he said sharply: "I can't wait, I have to move away, and squeeze elsewhere first." ”
Lin Xu was stunned: "Very serious? ”
"There are several places where the wolves are restless." Hongchen took a deep breath, "I'm afraid it's going to come down the mountain soon, it's too dangerous here to build any defenses." ”
Lin Xu frowned: "When the site was first selected, it was too careless. ”
But there is no way, there are a lot of security points to be set up by the imperial court, and there is a shortage of manpower, so it is very difficult to find a suitable place for leeward, where will there be too much consideration?
Now is not the time to be held responsible, Lin Xu gave an order, and his subordinates began to notify everywhere, asking everyone to relocate.
This is a big project, the people are not small, there are seventy or eighty large and small caves around, and nearly a thousand people have to gather, men, women and children, and the officials and soldiers who can help add up to a dozen.
There is a shortage of manpower, and it is not good to draw too much from other places, and all places are facing a shortage of manpower.
Lin Xu and Hongchen's subordinates also went over to help.
As soon as the order was issued, the entire Anmin point was in chaos, some people hurriedly packed up their things, and some people were unwilling.
They finally settled down here, although the conditions were difficult, not houses, but the poor people, it was good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, all of them built their own nests with confidence, and some even made the cave their home, carefully arranged, and the food they could collect was piled up in the corner, and carefully cared for.
This place is their hope to survive the winter, and now people are moving away, of course, there are many unhappy ones.
"Why go? We're not leaving! ”
Hongchen and Lin Xu were just about to walk near the mountain for a while, to explore the situation, and by the way, they sent people to guard them, for fear that something would happen when everyone was migrating, and before the people moved, there would be a disturbance not far away.
"That's it, what are the beasts afraid of, they dare to go down the mountain, it's just rations, I can hunt bears alone!"
The latter voice is very crisp, and the voice should be a young man, with a sense of spirit, not like a disaster victim.
Hongchen and Lin Xu walked over to take a look, and frowned when they saw it from a distance.
The few who confronted Lin Xu's subordinates were richly dressed, with ruddy faces, and one was leading a snow-white horse, which was not easy to look at.
"What's going on?"
Lin Xu frowned and asked.
The guards next to him quickly figured out the situation and came over to report: "This is a few sons and nobles from the capital, who came to help the victims, they brought medicinal herbs, coats, or a large amount of food, a total of six people, four men and two women, and their identities have not been found out." ”
Hongchen: "......"
"There are more than a dozen families over there who don't want to go, they are from a village, they are all from the Haojia camp in the east, the village has suffered a disaster, most of the houses have collapsed, and they are the closest to the resettlement point here, so they are all let to this side, and the whole village is resettled together, and there are many young and strong people left, and there are hunters. What they mean, in previous years, there were wild beasts coming down the mountain, but none of them became weather, it was nothing, even if someone was injured, but most of them were safe, but now they had to move, and they were cold and hungry, and the old people and children might not be able to keep up, and they had to be thrown away. ”
"Those noble sons from the capital also helped to speak, and they seemed to be very sympathetic to the villagers."
Hongchen was speechless for a while.
Lin Xu also knew the scruples of these villagers.
The common people have suffered a lot, they have their own experience, and every time they move, they are accompanied by a large number of children and the elderly being abandoned, even if they only move for a short time, it is not long, but these people who have settled down are still unwilling.
The road ahead is uncertain, no one knows what it will be like to move somewhere else, they have been here for months, and they have finally settled down, where are they willing to run?
At this time, there were children and old people whimpering and crying, the old people remembered those who died in the process of hiding from the disaster, and the children were even more shocked by the miserable atmosphere around them.
It is estimated that the tone of the people who notified everyone to move immediately is not very good, after all, they are in a hurry, so they can't pay attention to the attitude, and the people are very vigilant.
Hongchen looked around, there was a fuss here, and the movements elsewhere were slow, so he couldn't help sighing, and walked over with Lin Xu.
"The construction of this camp has cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and the money of the imperial court cannot be wasted casually, how can you just leave? Besides, can there be so many people in other places? Don't think we don't know, all the Anmin houses are overcrowded, in case we can't resettle them, and people freeze to death on the road, who can afford it! ”
The young man who spoke was full of energy, and his face was righteous and awe-inspiring.
Hongchen ignored him, and saw an old man squatting on the ground with his head down, walked over and said solemnly: "Old man, you are well-informed, you should be very aware of the danger of the beast going down the mountain, maybe a bear is not afraid, a tiger, desperately can stop it, but what about wolves?" If we encounter a wolf pack, with the protection measures we have here, will we be able to get out of the way? I'm afraid there will be corpses all over the field. ”
The old man's body was shocked, and his face also showed a look of horror, and he whispered after a while: "There are not necessarily wolves, it has been more than ten years, and no wolves have come down the mountain." ”
The young man immediately snorted angrily and said, "That's it, where did so many wolves come from? In previous years, we didn't go hunting in the mountains, and there were only a few large prey that we could catch, and there were wolves, I don't even see a lone wolf! (To be continued.) )
