Chapter 290: Winter Travel
Two days after the end of the welcome banquet, the matter of harmony was finally decided, and it was expected that the candidate for harmony this time was the eldest princess Jin Shuiyue, and unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also marry the princess Yelu Min of Beiran.
Don't talk about ordinary people, even Fang Yage was stunned when he heard the news, this prince's cousin acted too fast, when did he fall in love with Princess Beiyan? Fang Yage suddenly thought that the last time he was hunting in Mengshan, there was a tiger who suddenly attacked, it seemed that his cousin had saved Yelu Min, could it be that time?
Speaking of which, that attack can be said to be the greatest opportunity for the two countries to form an alliance, and it is precisely because of this incident that the emperors of the two countries are determined to form an alliance. Thinking about it this way, the tiger came at the right time, and fortunately no one died...... No, except for Concubine Shun, her whereabouts are still unknown! Indeed, there were no casualties.
Thinking of this, Fang Yage's eyes were a little deep, not only did this tiger not hurt people, but also contributed to the alliance between the two countries, contributed to a marriage, and eliminated a potential threat, so, this tiger ...... Who put it in?
The more Fang Yage thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and hurriedly stopped her thoughts, she couldn't do this, how could she doubt her cousin, this was not right, her cousin was the future emperor and had the quality of a king of a country...... Of course, the qualities of a king also include strategy, and he also understands the necessary sacrifices in exchange for the greatest benefit.
"County Lord! Princess? ”
Bai Zhi shook her hand in front of Fang Yage, why was the county lord suddenly stunned? When a cup of tea was cold, there was no entrance, but his eyes stared at the ground in front of him in a daze.
"What? What's wrong? ”
Fang Yage came back to his senses. I saw five snow-white fingers shaking in front of me, and then I reacted, I was actually stunned, and hurriedly covered the unnaturalness on my face.
"County Lord, the carriage and horses of the second gate are ready, should we go out now?" Bai Zhi asked.
Fang Yage then remembered that he was going to Zhuangzi today, and had already ordered Ermen to prepare the carriage, so he said: "Let's go, you and Zisu and Zhuang Jie follow me, let's go and have a look together." ”
Fang Yage instructed while letting Bai Zhi serve and put on her cloak. Bai Zhi and Zhuang Jie were in the house. Zhuang Jie hurriedly saluted and went out to look for Zisu.
Bai Zhi put two hand warmers into the box, and there were shoes and socks that could be replaced, and it turned out that the weather outside was getting colder and colder. Bai Zhi had to prepare something warm before she dared to let Fang Yage go out.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yage put on his cloak and walked out first. There was already a rough mother-in-law outside ready to warm the sedan chair. On such a cold day, Fang Yage no longer walks when she goes out, she is not afraid of being tired. However, she is afraid of the cold.
Coming to the second gate, Fang Yage got off the sedan chair, Zisu and Zhuang Jie were already waiting there, Fang Yage hurriedly asked, "Is An Yinhuo gone?" ”
It turned out that Zisu was not there to send An Yinhuo just now, and the emperor's holy decree had been issued to rehabilitate An Daren and rebuild the tomb, and An Yinhuo's brothers and sisters also received a lot of compensation such as the house and silver.
An Yinhuo listened to Fang Yage's words and moved out, and at the same time he also wanted to serve in the barracks, because after he was a loyal minister, his identity was naturally not ordinary, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he obtained the position of the governor of the Jingwei Command Envoy Division, and he was serious from the eighth grade. Either way, it's a good start.
"Gone! It's just that Yinya was reluctant to go and delayed a little time. ”
Zisu can also be regarded as An Yinhuo's master, and it is reasonable to send him today, An Yinya has been by Fang Yayu's side since he entered the mansion, and the two children have a deep relationship, and they are reluctant to separate.
"An Yinhuo said that he would live in the barracks in the future, and he didn't feel at ease to let Yinya be at home alone, so he let the little girl stay in the house."
Fang Yage sighed when he heard this, although the emperor rewarded the house, but these two brothers and sisters, one lives in the barracks, and the other has no one to take care of them, and the house exists in name only, so it is not a home.
"Well, let's go." Fang Yage knew that she couldn't help with such a thing, so she could only count on An Yinhuo to live her life as soon as possible, and when she married a wife and had children, she must have a good life.
Bai Zhi, Zhuang Jie, and Zi Su accompanied Fang Yage in a carriage towards Zhuangzi in the countryside. At this moment, it is winter, and I see that the fields on both sides of the road have finished harvesting the crops, and it looks a little sluggish.
After walking in the carriage for half an hour, he finally arrived at Zhuangzi, and when Fang Yage got out of the carriage, he saw the housekeeper Wang Fu and everyone standing in front of Zhuangzi to greet him.
"Welcome to the county lord!"
Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and Fang Yage didn't expect that this Zhuangzi would have the scale it has today, and there would be so many people. Wang Fu walked quickly in front of Fang Yage, it turned out that he heard that Fang Yage was coming to Zhuangzi today, so he waited here early with everyone.
"County Lord, are you going to walk around the Zhuangzi, or do you want to find a place to sit for a while." Wang Fu asked.
Fang Yage came to see everyone this time, so he said to Wang Fu: "I'd better go around." ”
Wang Fu nodded yes and led the way in front. Fang Yage didn't know that since she was willing to spend money to buy these girls and raise them in Zhuangzi, more and more people sold their daughters to the Chunfeng Pavilion, resulting in a great shortage of newcomers in other Qinglou brothels during this time. In addition, Yuan Niang was willing to spend more money to buy these girls, so in a short period of time, hundreds of people actually came to Zhuangzi, which Wang Fu did not expect.
But no matter what, saving people is always a matter of accumulating virtue for the benefit of others, and Wang Fu is also doing his best to do this, not only the number of mansions built is very large, but he also obeyed Fang Yage's instructions, and invited a master who knows all kinds of skills, and asked the master to teach them skills, hoping that they can have a skill in the future.
"Yes, yes! You see, the county lord, the thousands of acres of fertile land in this village are all the property of my princess's mansion, and these lands are all planted for the residents of the village, and they need to pay a certain amount of rent to the princess's mansion every year. Wang Fu introduced.
"Yes, I know." Fang Yage had already discovered that some ordinary people in the crowd were dressed up to see the excitement, Fang Yage smiled at them kindly, and everyone was flattered, and they all made all kinds of salutes to Fang Yage.
Fang Yage looked at the scene in front of her with a calm face, she was not a child who didn't understand anything, she was already able to understand the pain of these people living at the bottom of society. They work hard every day, all they want is to be able to eat a full meal, but if they catch up with the harvest is not good, not only will they not be able to eat, but they will also be hungry, how to spend such a day, Fang Yage can't think about it.
In that year, Yonghe was also plagued by natural disasters, many refugees poured into the capital, and I heard that hundreds of people died every day, and they had to be transported outside the city by horse-drawn carriages, but the imperial court had no food to relieve them, and there was no silver to distribute, which almost caused a civil uprising. Fang Yage's eyes sank when she thought of this, how could she not let such a tragedy happen again in this life.
"Manager Wang, let everyone disperse, do what you have to do, don't delay everyone's affairs because of me, you can accompany me to go for a walk."
Fang Yage knew that if he wanted to see if there was any problem, the best way was to integrate into them, but it was impossible for him to live in Zhuangzi now, so it was most reliable to visit everywhere in person. (To be continued......)
