At the dinner table, everyone saw Zhan Xiaoning's bright eyes, and then she looked at them and called their names accurately one by one, even when she called her twin brothers, she never made a mistake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough the brothers look alike, Zhan Xiaoning can tell which of the two of them is who is from the different footsteps. Zhan Xiaotian's personality is a little lively, so his steps are always a little brisk, and he occasionally stands on tiptoe unconsciously; Zhan Xiaotian's personality is calm and calm, and every step is down-to-earth, so the eldest brother and the second brother are easy to separate.

"Okay, now Xiao Ning's eyes can also see, so sister has two choices for you to choose from. Because Beiyanguo also opened a women's school the year before last, there is about a quarter of an hour's carriage away from the villa, my sister went to find out, there are piano arts, calligraphy and painting, embroidery, horseback riding and other projects, only half a day of classes, usually in the morning, would you like to go to the women's school? This is the first choice, seeing that Zhan Xiaoning didn't speak immediately, Zhan Xiaoyan continued to say the second plan she had in mind:

"If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, because my sister can also invite grandma who knows these things to come to the house and teach you hand-in-hand, so that you can become more proficient after learning. You don't need to answer me now which of these two proposals do you choose, because my sister is still just a proposal, so you can think about it today and answer me tomorrow. After breakfast, Zhan Xiaoyan proposed two choices to Zhan Xiaoning before going out to the store, asking her to think about it and make a choice.

When she came to the store, after saying hello to Aunt Yun, she entered the tool room, she had to confirm how many sets of jewelry she had made, of course, these were not counted in the jewelry, but she did it outside, confirm it, know how fast she is, and if she takes over business in the future, she will have a number. After counting, I have already done thirty-five sets, and there is still a month to go, which is also very enough according to the time outside, but it is also very tiring to do it non-stop, so the next time I take such an order, I have to consider my speed.

"Smiling, I'm here!" Just when Zhan Xiaoyan was making jewelry, she heard Liang Shiyun's voice sounding at the door, she put down the carving knife, and heard someone knocking on the door, walked over and opened the door, sure enough, it was Liang Shiyun! At this time, she has been pregnant for more than five months, so her belly is naturally pregnant, but it is not so bad that she can't walk, so except for the people around her who pay more attention, she herself is also careful, there is nothing serious.

"I came to your house for lunch today! Because you said before that Xiao Ning was yesterday, or will she be able to regain her sight today, so I want to go and see if I can really appear in her eyes. Even though I could tell from your look that she must have regained her sight, I still wanted to see it, so could I? Liang Shiyun pulled her smile and walked to the [reception room], while chattering non-stop.

Now she is not as sleepy as before, it seems that because it has been five months and entered the sixth month, so she has become very fond of eating now, so although there is also a special grandmother watching next to her and controlling her diet, she has also gained a lot of weight, the most obvious is her face, she has a double chin!

"Yes, of course! Because Xiao Ning's treatment was all over yesterday, she had clearly seen each of us this morning, so if you go to see her at noon today, she will definitely be able to see you and recognize you. Okay, it's still early, it's just the beginning of the day, you just sit here, I'll chat with you, and in half an hour, we'll set off back to the villa! ”

Zhan Xiaoyan didn't disagree, she welcomed friends to her house at any time, and Liang Shiyun remembered the day when her little sister regained her sight, so she came here today. Hearing her say this, it is obvious that she should have been counting the days all along, so she will come to find herself today to make sure, hoping to see her sister's eyes to regain her sight.

"Good! Xiang Gong and his friends went to Yongzhou, where it was said that there was a drought, and they set out the day before yesterday, and it took more than ten days to come back and forth, and he still needed to see how the drought was there, so it took at least twenty days or so to return. So, I'm bored at home alone, I'm pregnant, I can't run around, I can't eat more, I can't play with my children, and I can't play for too long, so ah, I'm coming to you! ”

Liang Shiyun said with some complaints, but she also understood in her heart, after all, men and women are always different, and some things can only be done by men. And they are husband and wife, she is also worried about her husband who is away from home, after all, it is not a good thing that there is a drought, I hope everything can be safe!

"Really? Then why don't you just talk to your family, will you live with me during this time? If your child doesn't go to school and the girl's school, you can also bring it with you, I don't think your parents-in-law will not disagree, right? After all, the ancestral motto of their Lou family is that 'a wife can only take a concubine if she has no children within three years', you are already a mother of three children, and now you have two more in your belly, so you should be more indulgent, right? Hearing Liang Shiyun say this, Zhan Xiaoyan thought about it and put forward such an opinion, which is actually quite good.

"Yes, yes! Even if you're in the store during the day, then I can be in the villa with Xiao Ning. You also said that during the day, you receive guests in the store, and the two younger brothers follow the master to learn knowledge in the school, and in addition to those subordinates, there is only one master left in the family, Xiaoning, so during this time, let the two of us be each other's company, whether it is talking, learning words together or playing the piano, we can spend half a month to twenty days together. Then I'll go back and talk to my parents now, and then when they agree, I'll pack up my things and say that I'm going to live in your villa, and they'll be very relieved." That's it, you must wait for me, I'll be back soon! ”

Liang Shiyun said, immediately stood up, and then left with his maid and grandmother, and after getting into the carriage, he asked the coachman to hurry as fast as possible, which was really hot. Obviously, the Hou Mansion is not far from here, and even if she walks, it won't take half an hour to walk, not to mention that she still takes a carriage.

Zhan Xiaoyan watched her movements, couldn't help but shake her head funny, and then walked into the tool room to continue her movements. Her arrival was just an episode, and even if she was going to live in the lodge from today, it would be after she got home in the evening, and now she had to get down to business.

In the afternoon, Liang Shiyun came at the end of the day, and told her that she also brought a cook with her, saying that she had been cooking for her, so she had to thank herself and let their family taste the skills of this cook. Of course, Zhan Xiaoyan will not refuse, because she wants to come to live at home, no matter how many subordinates she wants to bring, it is all according to Liang Shiyun's own will, and she is very welcome. And the drought in Yongzhou, she remembered that it would last for a while, so Lou Qingyang didn't come back so soon.

In the evening, in the villa, Liang Shiyun sat next to Zhan Xiaoning, talking to her, and she could clearly see her in Xiao Ning's eyes, which made Liang Shiyun very happy. Because of such a girl, she is also very distressed and pityful, so now she can see it, that's great!

Zhan smiled and lay on the bed, thinking carefully about the drought this time. In fact, she didn't know much in her previous life, because at that time she originally lived in the Eastern Wei Kingdom, and she was still in the palace, so she didn't know much about the outside news, only when she occasionally heard and passed by the inner room or when the guards occasionally chatted, she only knew after saying a word or two. Piecing together the scattered memories, she remembered that this time the drought in Yongzhou lasted for a long time, and it also spread to the surrounding towns, and it seemed that there was a plague along with it, and many people died.

And Yan Qihao didn't come tonight, he became a little busy, because he had to solve these problems for his imperial brother, so he didn't have much free time. So she doesn't know how long it lasted from the drought to the plague, but this drought had a great impact on the Northern Yan Kingdom.

And in the event of a drought, the emperor's disposal is generally to allocate funds for disaster relief, but suppose the emperor allocates one million taels of silver, and when he arrives in the disaster area, I don't know if there will be 500,000 taels of silver left? If every time the money allocated by the emperor could reach the disaster area completely, then there would not be so many things such as rice mixed with sand, stones in porridge, and so on.

Regardless of whether there is a drought or a plague, it is always the common people who suffer, and once this happens, profiteers will take the opportunity to raise the price of rice and medicinal materials, and even coffins, incense and candles. Once such a situation happens, the families of the powerful are slightly better, because they have silver in their hands, so they can still buy some to survive the disaster, while the ordinary people can only carry it, and when there is really nothing to eat, the bark of the grass roots and trees will be eaten, and people will die every day, which is really miserable!

Now she lives in Beiyan Kingdom, and everything is closely related to her, but because they are in the capital now, the disaster will not arrive here for the time being, and I don't know what will happen in the future. And once it is necessary to allocate funds for disaster relief, it can only be obtained from the common people, which may increase taxes, or it may directly stipulate how much silver the family will get at least in the name of disaster relief.

In the imperial palace of the Northern Yan Kingdom, in the imperial study, the brothers Yan Qihao and Yan Qijin were talking about the drought this time, because it had not rained in Yongzhou for a long time, and the seeds planted had not germinated, let alone the growth after that. And it's not just happened this year, it's the same last year. Therefore, the people were able to barely survive on the basis of the food left over from the previous year last year, eating less than usual, and they were able to survive. However, because there was still no grain harvest last year, there is not much to eat this year, and the price of rice and grain has already risen, and the life of the common people will be even more difficult this year.

And there are also parents who buy their children to large families to be housekeepers and maids, even if they are slaves, but at least they don't have to worry about starvation, and at this time, people who still have money to buy people don't have to worry about not having enough food to eat. These current situations are all known to Yan Qihao according to the local officials in Yongzhou, and they have all been told to Yan Qijin, so he must come up with a solution quickly, otherwise the situation will get worse and worse.

"Brother Huang, why don't I go to the disaster relief in person? The money for disaster relief will be directly exchanged for a silver ticket with a maximum value of 10,000 taels, and then I will take it to Yongzhou, so there is no need to worry about the following officials being corrupt, and how much money you allot, Brother Huang, how much money can reach the hands of the people, so that they can survive this disaster, how about it? Yan Qihao thought about it and said like this.

However, if he would propose this, it would mean that he would ride a horse to Yongzhou alone, because apart from him, there was really no one else, and Yan Qijin was willing to trust him wholeheartedly. And the drought has already appeared, so that it can be solved as soon as possible, so that no people will die this time, because I don't know how long God will pour the rain on that land. And since it's a silver ticket, if you take it with one person, and if you have a team of people walking with you, it will slow down the speed.

"Is that so? It's good, but it's going to be a bit hard. Let's not say that there must be hard work in the hurry, although you have to carry a silver ticket, not cash, the current maximum value of the Northern Yan Kingdom is only 10,000 taels, 100,000 taels is 10 taels, 1 million taels is a hundred, and I can't really only allocate 1 million taels. But this time, I will dial one million taels first, and when you arrive in Yongzhou, you can send me a book at any time, and then I will be able to know the news at any time. I also know that you must be in a hurry to leave now, but since you already have someone in your heart, go and say hello to her, and then set off again. Okay, sleep well tonight, I'll go prepare a silver ticket for you, and you can set off tomorrow! ”

Yan Qijin knew this younger brother of his very well, and he also knew that if he didn't say it, he would definitely get the silver ticket and set off immediately. If he could, he naturally hoped that his younger brother would always be by his side, but in this matter, it was best to do it like what Qi Hao said, so he could only send him. (To be continued.) )
