After watching Fang Hanniang's carriage stop in front of the Pingguo Mansion from a distance, Ji Jinxing took the reins, turned the horse's head, and led the people and horses to the direction of the Jinwang Mansion.

There is a black hole in the king's mansion.

Because most of the people in the palace came out of the barracks, although they were no longer in the barracks, they still followed the work and rest time system in the barracks.

Qing Xia, the chief butler of the palace, greeted Ji Jinxing at the door.

"Master," the chief butler Qing Xia arched his hand, "You're back?" Did Miss Fang pick it up? ”

Ji Jinxing turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guards on the side, and answered: "Hmm." ”

Qing Xia looked at Ji Jinxing cautiously: "That...... Master, you didn't ask Miss Fang what she was going to do? ”

Since the beginning, Fang Hanniang has been buying grain, cotton, and charcoal in a big way, and suggested that Ji Jinxing also pay attention to this piece, Ji Jinxing did not ask Fang Hanniang what he wanted to do, but chose to believe her, listened to her advice, and bought a large number of these.

Now that the blizzard has been raging for so many days, the price of the grain and cotton cloth they used to buy has already increased several times, and if they get rid of it, the profit will definitely be astronomical.

But when it comes to Ji Jinxing's status, it is no longer of much use for him to ask for silver.

Ji Jinxing knew that if it was for silver, Fang Hanniang didn't have to go to such great lengths to tell him to stock up on this.

He believes in Fang Hanniang's pattern.

Sure enough, today, Fang Hanniang began to take out the grain, cotton, and charcoal she had hoarded before to relieve the victims.

When they learned the news, Qing Xia and Qing He first admired Fang Hanniang's kindness, but they were also a little worried that Fang Hanniang's move to start disaster relief before the imperial court would be too early......

Relying on their understanding of Fang Hanniang, she shouldn't be the one who can't see this relationship clearly.

Qing Xia and Qing He both suggested that the master ask Fang Hanniang what he was thinking.

Ji Jinxing said: "She is measured, you can let her do whatever she wants." ”

The master said this, and Qingxia and Qinghe were not good at saying anything.

What Ji Jinxing is paying attention to now is the rumors that came from the government office in the capital.

What is the moral corruption of the ladies of the Pingguo Mansion, the viciousness of their hearts, and the harm to people's lives......

These have spread far and wide.

Ji Jinxing has a powerful guard organization under him, and naturally he quickly found out about these rumors, and some of them are faintly promoting the spread.

And those people seem to be inextricably linked to the Rui Wangfu.

Thinking of this, Ji Jinxing squinted slightly: "How is the matter over there in the Ruiwang Mansion?" ”

Qing Xia arched his hand and said: "There are some eyebrows, but due to insufficient evidence, some more need to be excavated." ”

Ji Jinxing nodded indifferently.

Those who dare to stumble on him will have to weigh the consequences.

……

Fang Hanniang stood outside Ping Guogong's study and knocked on the door: "Uncle." ”

The voice of Ping Guogong came from inside: "Han Niang? Come on in. ”

Fang Hanniang went in and saw that Ping Guogong seemed to be writing something in front of the case.

Fang Hanniang quietly waited for Ping Guogong to finish writing the last stroke, and put the brush into the pen wash.

Ping Guogong raised his head and glanced at Fang Hanniang: "Hanniang, sit down, in my study, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Fang Hanniang smiled: "Yes." ”

Ping Guogong also sat in the armchair not far from Fang Hanniang, and said straight to the point: "How is the matter with you today?" ”

Fang Hanniang smiled bitterly when she heard this: "The situation of the people is much worse than we expected. In the past few years, there has been a great drought, and the harvest has not been very good. It's been another cold winter this year...... If the imperial court does not interfere again, I am afraid that many people will not survive the New Year. ”

There are not many days before the end of the year.

Ping Guogong nodded: "I also sent someone to check today, and found that there seems to be a situation of concealment of disasters in many places......" He frowned, "I'm afraid there will be a big turmoil in the court during this time." ”

Fang Hanniang sighed: "After all, we are only a civil force, although we can help one or two, but Darong has a vast territory, and the affected places are more than one and a half, I am afraid that it will be a drop in the bucket." ”

Although she has some selfish intentions to use this clothes to wash away the gossip and injustice suffered by the ladies of the Pingguo Mansion, why didn't Fang Hanniang sincerely hope to help those disaster victims?

Fang Hanniang sighed, then cheered up a little more, and looked at Ping Guogong: "Uncle, you can just slowly collect news in secret these days." The rumors outside let it fly for a few days. ”

Ping Guogong nodded, he had already discussed it with Fang Hanniang that night, one person was outside, and one person was inside.

"I asked the bookkeeper to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to you." Pingguo Gong said in a deep voice, "This matter is the business of our entire Pingguo Mansion, and we can't let you pay for your own money." ”

Ping Guogong handed a brocade box on the table to Fang Hanniang.

Fang Hanniang took it generously and quipped: "Uncle, my grandmother has already given me 30,000 taels of silver." You give me another hundred thousand taels...... Aren't you afraid that I will run away with money? ”

Ping Guogong laughed: "My Hanniang is the owner behind Hanzhi flower soap, only a hundred thousand taels, I'm afraid I can't see it yet." ”

Fang Hanniang is not surprised that Ping Guogong can find out her identity, it is strange if he can't find out.

Fang Hanniang smiled: "Uncle, please keep it secret." The mischievous Chao Ping Guogong winked.

Ping Guogong was amused by Fang Hanniang, and his mood was finally much better.

After making a joke like this, Fang Hanniang Zhengse talked to Ping Guogong about the matter: "I'm afraid it's not time these days, wait a few days, and my uncle will remember to send some reliable people to add fuel to the fire according to what we have discussed...... This part of the people should be found in advance, and they must not miss the horse's feet. ”

Ping Guogong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I know everything." ”

Fang Hanniang conspired with Pingguo Gong again, and then returned to Fuhui Hall at night.

Since Fang Hanniang went to Ping Guogong's study, Fang Minghuai arrested Fang Zhiniang and asked her about the matter clearly.

When Fang Minghuai learned from the second sister that those people were so pitiful, he hurriedly went to his small treasury, and was a little annoyed.

Fang Hanniang knew that Fang Minghuai had always been a measured child, and Fang Minghuai's silver control was not very strict, so she would give him a not small amount of silver every month for him to socialize with the students of the academy outside.

At this point, Fang Hanniang did not regard Fang Minghuai as a child under the age of ten.

She thinks that a person should not be a dead student.

Human relations are also a great knowledge.

Fang Hanniang didn't want her brother to be a nerd who could only read.

Therefore, in the process of raising Fang Minghuai, Fang Hanniang did not shy away from letting Fang Minghuai listen to some dark things that were not suitable for children to participate in, so as to know the dark places of this society in advance.

Fang Minghuai hugged his small vault and sighed.

He didn't have any concept of saving money before, although he didn't spend money lavishly, but he liked to see any novel and fun gadgets, and brought a copy back to the head sister of the family.

You know, he has three sisters......

"I have too little money." Fang Minghuai said to Fang Zhiniang a little sullenly, "I also want to do my part." ”

Fang Zhiniang suggested in a low voice: "You don't have to donate money to be dedicated. Or you will come with us tomorrow? ”

Fang Minghuai's eyes lit up, and he was a little apprehensive: "Grandmother doesn't know if she will agree?" ”

Fang Zhiniang pursed her lips and smiled: "My eldest sister and I can go out, you are a boy, my grandmother should be more at ease, right?" …… If my grandmother doesn't agree, my eldest sister and I will help you plead again. ”

Fang Minghuai's eyes shone brightly, and he nodded again and again.

When Fang Hanniang came back, she found that her younger brother was asleep in her side hall again, and her younger sister was sitting on her bed and looked at her with a bit of a daze: "Eldest sister, Brother Huai also wants to do his best, will I take him with me tomorrow?" ”

Because it is not a trivial matter to give clothes and porridge, Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang will go everywhere about the years.

Fang Hanniang smiled: "I forgot to tell you...... Tomorrow, even if Brother Huai'er doesn't want to go over, I will catch him as a coolie in the past. You know, this is a great opportunity to train him, and I don't want to let it go. ”

Fang Zhiniang pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but yawn slightly.

Fang Hanniang was a little distressed and said: "Zhiniang is tired today, you have to wait for me to wait for so long, go to sleep......

Fang Zhiniang said in a daze: "Eldest sister also sleep together." ”

Fang Hanniang kissed Fang Zhiniang's forehead: "Well, let's sleep together." ”

……

On the second day, there was still a full table of breakfast.

Fang Hanniang's sister and brother all tried their best to pick up vegetables from one side, and after eating, almost all the dishes left on the plate could be used directly.

Fang Hanniang asked Qiuzhu to do this.

It was almost a full table of breakfast, and it was all given to the next person.

Qiu Zhu came back and smiled and said, "...... The little maidens at the bottom are crazy. ”

Fang Zhiniang pursed her lips: "It's good if you don't waste it." ”

After eating, Fang Hanniang led Fang Zhiniang and Fang Minghuai to the old lady of Pingguo to ask for peace.

The old lady of Pingguo has not gotten up yet because she slept late last night.

Fang Hanniang thought about it, so she asked Lu Ying to help leave a message, and asked Fang Zhiniang Fang Minghuai to go back to her room first.

She went to the lord of the big house.

The family of the lord of Anping Weng had just had breakfast, and the prince had just gone out to work as an errand in the yamen.

Ruan Zhixuan and Ruan Zhiting were tired of playing with rope jumping in the main house of Anping Weng.

Lord Anping looked at his two daughters dotingly, and at the same time looked at Fang Hanniang: "You were tired last night, right?" ”

Fang Hanniang smiled: "It's okay." ”

Lord Anping Weng is also one of the few people who know Fang Hanniang's whereabouts.

She called Fang Hanniang here today, also because she had something to ask for.

Lord Anping Weng hesitated a little, but then looked at the two daughters who were innocently playing with flower ropes on the side, and still made up his mind, and said, "Han Niang, I have a reluctant request......"
