Chapter 115: Lucky Star

"What's wrong? Why isn't it peaceful? The three husband and wife were shocked, and they all looked at the two of them.

"It's not the snow that's going to make trouble!" Wan Niang went to the stove and sat with Bai Qingshuang to roast the fire, and some of the things she heard on the road in the future were narrated.

It turned out that the heavy snow for three days in a row, both inside and outside the city, was very deep.

The amount of snow was already heavy, and because people had never encountered such a heavy snowfall for so many days, they were not vigilant enough to clear the snow on the roofs in time, so many houses were crushed.

Yesterday, the palace issued an order that the three princes and the six princes each lead a Gyeonggi garrison, and unite with the officials under the Jingzhao Yin Ya, to arrange people in the city to sweep the streets, shovel the snow, and investigate the losses of the people.

Although there were some old houses in the four directions of the southeast, west, and central parts of the country, there were some old houses damaged, but after all, no one was injured, and at most a few people took the risk of going into the collapsed houses to find valuable objects, and only then did they suffer some minor injuries.

However, Bai Qingshuang and the slums in the north of the city where they used to live were not so lucky, and there were few houses left that could still support them.

As for how many people were crushed, how many were injured, and how many were already homeless, the exact number has not yet been calculated, but that number is definitely not optimistic.

Once the people have no place to stay and hide, and the day is very cold, they naturally have to ask for help.

So, I don't know who instigated those refugees in the crowd, and they all ran to the yamen early this morning to ask for help.

That Jing Zhaoyin is also pitiful, and he took over this position from the hands of the original Jing Zhaoyin, who was dismissed on the Dragon Boat Festival, and it took only half a year to encounter a natural disaster.

Yesterday, I was busy going home in the dark, and I didn't have a good rest because my bones were falling apart, and I had to report that the yamen was about to be knocked open by the refugees before I got up from the warm quilt early in the morning.

No matter how cold it was on this day, the sleep was no longer enough, and I didn't dare to lie in bed anymore, so I immediately went out and opened the door to let the refugees in for refuge.

I don't know if this door is not opened, I was shocked when I opened it, Jing Zhaoyin, who has been rolling in the rich field for decades, never thought that there would be so many poor people in the rich and prosperous capital on the surface.

If you count those who were crushed to death and injured by the collapse of the house, the two yamen are not enough for them to live in!

Those refugees were also poor and crazy, and as soon as they poured into the yamen, they did not listen to the command of Lord Jing Zhaoyin and the obstruction of the officials, so they went straight to the inner courtyard to find food.

You must know that the ancient yamen, all the vestibule is the yamen hall, the outer courtyard is where the usual errands are, the backyard is the inner house of the official and the adult, and there are still family servants living in it, and the inner courtyard is mostly maids and servants.

The refugees who had been poor for decades swept through Jing Zhaoyin's front yard and back house like locusts crossing the border, and all the food and clothing were stolen, and even Jing Zhaoyin almost fainted.

The emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of the refugees who committed the crime, trying to find out who had instigated the incident, but all the refugees who had aspirations were tight-lipped and said they did not know.

At this moment, even if the emperor wants to make an example of chickens and monkeys, he has no patience, so he can only temporarily detain those refugees in an old courtyard, and arrange good food and drink, so as not to cause civil unrest.

But in this way, the beggars who were originally begging in the capital also got the information, and they poured into the courtyard of the shelter one after another, and they were almost unable to squeeze in.

This is not counting, in the event of a natural disaster, the imperial court will naturally allocate funds for disaster relief, which is an inevitable thing for the monarch.

However, somehow, among the crowded refugees, I don't know who spread such a rumor, saying that it was the snow in October, that it was the way of heaven to punish the world, and it was all the emperor's incompetence and failure to apply rain and dew to the world!

Now, not to mention that the emperor is even more angry, that is, all the courtiers feel that their breath is low and out of breath, and before the emperor can give an order, they hurriedly look for the person who created the rumors, whether it is overt or secretly.

As a result, the capital was suddenly not peaceful because of this heavy snowfall.

"The emperor is a benevolent monarch, and when he heard such rumors, he was naturally very angry!" Bai Zhihong sighed and said, "It's just that people's words are terrifying, even if they are emperors, they can't plug people's mouths to prevent people from talking!" ”

"Isn't it?" Wan Niang sighed and said, "I don't know when the snow will melt on this day, and I will be so troubled by someone with a heart, and our Baihua shop doesn't know when it will be open!" ”

Wan Niang is really a businessman, she has described so much, and she sighed again, it turns out that the ultimate goal is because of their own business.

Bai Qingshuang is not a person who likes to care about national affairs, thinking that as long as he doesn't open a shop, Bai Huahua's silver can't go into his pocket, so he can only echo Wan Niang and say: "Yes, Sister Wan is right, this time the heavy snow, the loss is not only the court and those poor people, we also lose a lot!" ”

Bai Zhihong, who was worried about national affairs, looked at the two big and small who wanted to make money and wanted to go crazy in disbelief, with a helpless face: "You only sighed about this!" ”

"Yes! We are little women, except for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and things that have to do with silver, such as eating and dressing warmly, the rest don't care! Bai Qingshuang replied very naturally.

The two big men were stunned for a moment, but then they couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it, we are all small people, and the first thing we need to care about is our own small family. ”

They were laughing and laughing, only Bai Yao's looked at Bai Qingshuang silently, but Bai Qingshuang was a little stunned, and couldn't help but walk out of the stove, next to Bai Yao's side and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you, why are you so strict?" ”

Bai Yao didn't answer her question first, but just hugged her daughter, who was half a head shorter than herself, and said sincerely: "Shuang'er, thank you!" ”

"Huh?" Bai Qingshuang looked up at Bai Yao for some reason, not understanding where her thank you came from.

"Child, if you don't be able to do it, follow Wan Niang to sell flowers and earn money to buy this house, our family may be ......" It turned out that Bai Yao thought that if they hadn't moved, their names might be on the list of those killed by natural disasters.

Bai Zhihong's chest was also stagnant, thinking of such consequences, he couldn't laugh all of a sudden, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Bai Qingshuang.

This child is really a blessing for their family!

"Hey, hey! Actually, I really want to thank my aunt for this! Bai Qingshuang suddenly smiled mischievously, "If she hadn't brought someone to drive us away, I might not have decided to buy a house so quickly, and Brother Zhou might not have been able to find Brother Meng to help us find such a good house!" ”

I couldn't help but wonder if Bai Zhang's family also thought of their unreasonableness and indifference at this time, but saved their family of four?

Bai Qingshuang was really not wrong, in the backyard of Baifu at this time, Bai Zhang's teeth were creaking with hatred: "What are you talking about, that small courtyard collapsed?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Big lady, it's collapsed tightly, and there is no good land! It was the servant who had been helping Bai Zhang's family before, kneeling on the ground, only to feel that his knees were cold and painful.

I call it unlucky in my heart, but I don't dare not do nothing.

After all, you can be lazy when you are secretly watching, but the old mansion of Second Master Bai is placed in a bright position, and he doesn't dare to steal it.

"Whoa! Count their fate, they actually escaped, and if they knew it, they wouldn't be in a hurry to drive them away! Bai Zhang gritted her teeth and said, that family made her deflated in front of her mother-in-law, she kept holding a grudge, and asked hatefully, "Haven't you found out where they went?" ”

The servant's eyes flickered, and his head hung very low: "The slave is incompetent, not yet!" ”

He didn't check at all, so he was lazy for a while, and when he went to Zhou's house to squat outside the house on the third day, he disappeared from the second master's family, and he just took the silver given by Bai Zhang's family, and he was too lazy to bother looking for someone.

Anyway, these of them all guessed that the second master's family was humiliated on the old lady's birthday, and they must have been really sad and disappointed, and they would never come back to the Bai family, so it was just if they didn't save zĂ i, and I don't know why this eldest lady always wanted to find the second master's family, she was really full and had nothing to do.

"Useless things, I spent money to raise you and I don't know what to use, get out of here, lest I look upset!" Bai Zhang wanted to kick him, but he was very warm sitting next to the charcoal basin and didn't bother to move.

"Yes!" The servant was eager to leave, the ground was cold and hard, it was really painful!

As soon as the servants left, Bai Zhang's said to Mama Wu, who was close to him: "Mama, go and see if there is enough charcoal fire in Lin Er and Die'er's house, if it is not enough, then dial some!" ”

"Madam, this charcoal needs to be used urgently, and now the price of charcoal outside is more than three times more expensive than before. Moreover, I heard that the road is closed by heavy snow outside the city, if it is not sunny on this day, it is possible to have different roads for ten days and a half months, and then the charcoal will be ......" Mama Wu helped Bai Zhang's family manage the accounts of the mansion together, so she knew the stock and market inside and outside.

"You can't freeze my son and Butterfly!" Bai Zhang's didn't care about this, anyway, the purchases were from the public, "You look at the appropriate reduction of some other people's use!" ”

She almost named and deducted anyone's charcoal fire.

"Ma'am, this is not good!" Mama Wu was about to persuade, when suddenly a maid outside hurriedly said, "Big lady, old lady, please come over!" ”

"It's freezing this day, and the old lady is going to toss me again!" Bai Zhang complained dissatisfiedly, but he didn't dare to disobey the old lady's words, and immediately asked the maid to take her a heavy Qiu Dayu and go out with the hand stove. R1152
