Chapter 108: Preparing Years Ago

"Xiaohan will bring your sister to eat at home for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

"How embarrassing is this, since the lord said so, then I don't know how to lift, and the little one is better to be respectful." Duan Xiaohan deliberately learned to slap the horse.

In the end, it's the New Year, and people are also a lot more festive. The whole of Yanzhou began to bask in the joy of the New Year.

The slums of Yanzhou are bleak, and the poor have neither food nor cold clothes every winter, and the Chinese New Year is often a torment for these people who are struggling on the line of life and death.

"Huh? It's so fragrant, is there something wrong with my head, I seem to smell a fragrance. A homeless man wrapped in a straw mat suddenly smelled the smell of food, but the smell was like a dream and asked his companion beside him.

"Then don't say I smell it too."

One by one, beggars and poor people stood up from their shelters, and the group looked at the carts that were coming in the distance, loaded with food such as rice porridge.

The well-armed soldiers surrounding the cart needed soldiers to maintain discipline.

"I am the one sent by Lord Lu to distribute the food and bedding for the winter to everyone, one by one, if anyone cuts the queue to make trouble, you have to see if the neck is hard or the knife is hard."

The poor people around them wanted to squeeze forward at first, but after looking at the bright knives around them, they all shrank back and lined up honestly.

During the distribution of supplies, these people were also registered by the way, and each person received a bowl of white porridge, and then received a few days of dry food and not a thick bedding.

"What's going on?" The people below looked at the person who was about to distribute the white porridge in disbelief, and actually grabbed a handful of sand and threw it in.

Although the porridge is mixed with sand, it is acceptable for those who have eaten the last meal but not the next.

This method of mixing sand is also something that Lu Zhan learned from movies and TV series, and only those who are really hungry can endure the rough texture of the sand in the porridge.

This is done to prevent some people from taking advantage of the food of the poor and refugees, who have never been lacking since ancient times.

In less than half a day's effort, the porridge transported from several carts was divided, but fortunately, the people who came to distribute the food said that they would come back in a few days.

"Alas, the people are bitter when they prosper, and the people who are dying are bitter. There are so many poor people in the world, but I can't save them even if I want to. Lu Zhan looked at the empty cart that was full of loads and sighed.

"Young Master Lu didn't expect that he would still be a kind-hearted lord." Huo Lin, who was standing next to Lu Zhan, said in some surprise.

The people thought that this Lord Lu was a wizard who was proficient in all aspects of Wen Taowu, but they didn't expect that this Lord Lu was still a person who cared about the people.

"There's more you don't know, by the way, did you go back to Huo's house on Chinese New Year's Eve this year or are you here?" You should be homesick after being out for so long, so if you want to go back, just let me know. ”

Huo Lin seemed to be a little incredulous about what Lu Zhan said, this man really didn't want to be hungry for his body, and he was relieved to let himself go back.

"Then I'm welcome, then I'll go back to Huo's house tomorrow." After all, it was the first time that Holling had been away from home for so long, and she was as happy as a little sparrow when she heard the news that she could go home.

"Hey, hey, don't rush back yet, you're also my nominal concubine, I'll find someone to buy you something to go back."

After the Huo family's property was basically confiscated, the life of the Huo family in Yanzhou City became miserable. Although it is said that the industries in Yanzhou City have not been confiscated, such a large family needs to be fed.

In order to save money, the Huo Mansion has dismissed a lot of slaves and miscellaneous servants, but this day can't be like this. Open source and reduce expenditure cannot just reduce expenditure without opening up open source.

"Master, what should I do with the monthly money in this house and the money for buying things for the holidays soon." As the current head mother of the Huo family, the Li family now has to worry about their livelihood.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm worried too. Okay, I'll figure it out. ”

After seeing Huo Qiren a little angry, the people around him were silent, and suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Who put on such a big show, wouldn't it be Lu Zhan, who should have suffered a thousand cuts, coming over. This must be a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he is not well-intentioned.

"Let's go, let's go and greet Yanzhou's parent official, Lord Lu." Huo Qiren's words also carried a little helplessness, with the helplessness of having to bow their heads under the eaves.

It wasn't until he walked to the gate that he found that it was his daughter Huo Lin, Huo Qiren looked around and found that there was no Lu Zhan.

"Dad, what are you looking at? Don't recognize your daughter? Holling stood in place and spun in circles, her goose-yellow skirt fluttering in the wind.

Huo Qiren suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, and handed over his daughter to Lu Zhan for the life and death of so many people in the Huo family. God knows how this Lu exhibition treats his daughter, and being a parent is not hard-hearted after all.

"Is this Lord Lu okay with you?" Huo Qiren asked his daughter cautiously.

"Young Master Lu, the person is not bad." Huo Lin couldn't help but laugh after remembering the three chapters of Lu Zhan's agreement with herself and the way she distributed supplies to refugees.

Seeing his daughter laughing, Huo Qiren thought to himself, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Lu Zhan poured into her. But it seems that this Lu Zhan didn't do anything to her because of Huo Lin's shooting.

"What's good, our family is almost out of the pot." Huo Qiren reluctantly said the current predicament of his family.

Huo Lin clapped his hands and let his subordinates carry a bunch of mahogany boxes into Huo's house, and after opening them, there were many New Year's gifts in addition to gold and silver. From gold, silver and jade to all kinds of jewelry to all kinds of health herbs.

These are all used by Lu Zhan to save face after Huo Lin goes home, but Lu Zhan is not distressed to send so much, after all, the wool comes from sheep. These are just some of them after the Huo family was raided.

"Lin'er, these are all sent by Lord Lu?" Huo Lin's mother, Li, looked at the dazzling boxes with some surprise.

originally thought that this daughter would definitely be worse than death when she got into Lu Zhan's hands, after all, it was her daughter who shot Lu Zhan with an arrow. It seems that his daughter is very favored in the Lu family, otherwise she would not have come back with so many gifts.

After settling down in the room where his daughter lived, Li quietly said to Huo Qiren: "You see, our daughter is so favored, in my opinion, it is estimated that our Huo family still has a bright future."

"I thought that Lin'er would be squeezed by the seventh princess if she was tortured in Lu Zhan's hands, but I really didn't expect Lin'er to be able to capture Lu Zhan's heart. In the future, maybe my Huo family will count on Lin'er to make a comeback. ”

"It's not, look at this Lord Lu hasn't accepted a concubine for so long, and the first concubine he accepted was our family's Lin'er."
