Chapter 64: The Flood
There was a storm in the court, and Chen Lin didn't know how active the courtiers were, but Chen Lin's Ama Eniang, after his brother heard that the fourth elder brother was imprisoned, he was worried about Chen Lin. The royal family is really not so easy to marry, if Chen Lin marries someone else's family, not to mention as a concubine, it will not be like being in prison like now.
Chen Lin's mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep, thinking about how her daughter suffered in the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, how she was troubled, how she was bullied by those dog slaves, and her heart was so painful that she couldn't wait to run to the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion to see how Chen Lin was doing.
It's a pity that the fourth elder brother's mansion has been circled by the emperor's troops, and it is impossible to see her daughter at all, Chen Lin's mother cries to her husband and son every day, but unfortunately Niu Colu's family is not a big family, as early as Chen Lin's grandfather's generation, he was lonely, where is there any way to learn about the affairs of the fourth elder brother's mansion.
However, Chen Lin's brother learned that Brother Jiu recently sent someone to the Fourth Elder Brother's mansion, although their family identity is not too noble, but in order to learn the news of his sister, Chen Lin's brother still licked his face and went to find Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu naturally knew about Chen Lin's family, if it weren't for the lack of a suitable reason, Brother Jiu would have wanted to get close to Chen Lin's family a long time ago, but now that people take the initiative to come to the door, isn't it a good opportunity?
Chen Lin's elder brother was puzzled all of a sudden, why was Brother Jiu so polite to himself, and it stands to reason that the Niu Co Lu family is not a branch of his own family, even if the Nine Elder Brother wants to win over Niu Co Lu's family, he shouldn't be kind to him, right? Although there are some doubts, but the news of his sister is important, although Brother Jiu felt a little weird, Chen Lin's brother still stuck his head and asked Chen Lin about the situation.
"Brother Nine recently went to the fourth elder brother, I don't know if the fourth elder brother's mansion is good?" Chen Lin's brother asked.
"The fourth brother's house is very good." Brother Jiu knew Brother Chen Lin's worries, and said with relief: "Those slaves are all original slaves, and the fourth brother has only been imprisoned for a while, when will Huang Ama be angry, maybe he will be released, you don't have to worry too much." When Brother Jiu spoke, he didn't believe that the charge of poisoning the prince could still be released, but Brother Jiu didn't know what he said, and that was the afterword.
After getting the news of Brother Jiu, Chen Lin's brother felt a lot more relieved, and when he returned home and told Ama Eniang, the family was not as worried as before. However, Chen Lin's elder brother suddenly remembered the seeds that Chen Lin brought back before, if it really had the effect that Chen Lin said, maybe he could save the fourth elder brother from it, and Chen Lin would not suffer hardship.
Although Chen Lin said before that this matter should not be related to her and the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, but now when is it, if the Fourth Elder Brother has such a great achievement, then even if the crime is big, it can be forgiven.
"Amma, what happened to the seeds my sister got back?" Brother Chen Lin asked.
"This is such an important matter, I have naturally been paying attention to it, I think the final harvest will not be bad, and now it is almost ripe, I am worried about your sister these days, I don't care, I think the minions below will report the news later." Chen Lin's Ama said.
"Amma, you said that if it's true, can we release the fourth elder brother through this credit?" Chen Lin's brother asked.
When Chen Lin's Ama heard this, he felt that this was still very possible, even if he didn't release it on the spot, but the fourth elder brother was the emperor's son, if the fourth elder brother had such a great contribution, it was very likely to be released when the emperor was angry.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin Ama took her son and went to Zhuangzi, knowing the result as soon as possible, and taking the fold early, maybe the fourth elder brother would be released earlier.
When he came to Zhuangzi and saw a bumper harvest, Chen Lin's Ama was very happy and summoned the steward of Zhuangzi, and sure enough, the yield of this grain was very high, and the sweet potatoes were also delicious, sweet and delicious. Even rice, the yield is five times that of ordinary rice, if such rice is promoted, the Qing Dynasty has no food to eat, Chen Lin's Ama tears of excitement fell out.
I didn't expect my daughter to bring such a magical seed to herself, why didn't the Qing Dynasty prosper? Niu Colu Lingzhu now felt very sure that the emperor would let the fourth elder brother go, and such a big credit was enough to offset all the mistakes.
Thinking of this, Niu Co Lu Lingzhu hurriedly went back to write the chapter, and told Zhuangzi not to move anymore, and wait until the emperor's people came to see, after all, they would believe it if they saw it with their own eyes.
Not to mention the excitement of the Niu Colu family, and preparing to fold, if Chen Lin knew what his family was doing, he would definitely vomit blood, and if he didn't drag his feet like this, he would have knocked down the fourth elder brother, and the family here would help the fourth elder brother come out, isn't it in vain?
But fortunately, Chen Lin didn't know, so he wouldn't be depressed.
This year, the Qing Dynasty was not calm, the floods in the south were serious, and there were many people, Kangxi had a headache these days, but he couldn't ignore it, the treasury was empty, coupled with the prince's affairs, Kangxi's mood was not good during this period of time, and everyone in the harem was in danger, and they didn't want to hit the muzzle.
However, the news of the flood still spread, and the ladies of the harem volunteered to donate some jewelry for disaster relief, and the ministers also donated generously, so Kangxi's face was better. It's really not easy to be a good emperor, if the fourth child is not imprisoned, it is most appropriate to send the fourth child to this disaster relief, then it can only be replaced.
Thinking about it, thinking about the performance of several elder brothers recently, Kangxi decided to let Lao Jiu go, Lao Jiu is benevolent and righteous, and he will not deduct the disaster relief silver taels of these disaster victims, and he is not at ease when he sends others to Kangxi.
Chen Lin naturally knew about the flood, thinking that he still had a lot of silver taels, shops, and Zhuangzi, and he should also take this opportunity to help the victims and gain merit. After all, there are many people affected by floods, and a little food can save a life.
But Chen Lin himself has no manpower, and now there is an army surrounding the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion outside, it is not easy for Chen Lin to get out, even if he goes out, who should he find? Do you want your family to help you with disaster relief?
However, Niu Colu's family also has few manpower, and the disaster relief has passed along the way, if there is not enough force, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, so it is better not to let the family take risks. Chen Lin asked people to inquire who was going to provide disaster relief, and if the person was reliable, then it was okay to hand over the silver to the other party.
It's not that the fourth elder brother's mansion can't convey the news, after all, there are still buyers, so it's still okay to spend some money to inquire about some news. The fourth elder brother was imprisoned, and the people in the house were panicked, so when they inquired about such a thing, Fujin and the fourth elder brother did not object.
