Night

There is a mourning hall at home, and outsiders think it is for the eldest lady and her sister-in-law who both died of illness.

In fact, it was Aunt Yang's coffin that stopped.

Jiang Ruofu and Jiang Moyin knelt in front of the coffin in filial piety clothes.

Jiang Mo cried, tears fell into the brazier, and paper money was put into it one by one.

Jiang Ruofu lit the incense again and inserted it, replacing the three incense sticks that would be extinguished.

After Jiang Ruofu finished inserting the incense, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Got up and whispered,

"Hasn't Dad come to see it yet?"

"The old man is so angry that he is sick, and now the high fever does not go away, I am afraid that I will not be able to come to see Aunt Yang."

Jiang Ruofu got up and said,

"Bury the eldest brother's body, don't alarm the big sect, when the big sect asked, he said that he and the eldest lady were both killed by the homeless people, in order to protect the reputation of the eldest lady, I can only say that both died of illness."

"Yes."

Jiang Moyin was still shedding tears at the brazier, Jiang Ruofu grabbed Jiang Moyin's shoulder,

"Don't cry, my aunt is gone, it won't help if you continue to cry like this, I'm afraid that I will become ill and I will be seriously ill. This is not what my aunt wants to see. ”

Jiang Mo leaned on Jiang Ruofu and cried in a low voice,

"My aunt fell ill suddenly, and she left all of a sudden, how can I accept it?"

Jiang Ruofu patted her back and wiped away her tears,

"There will be me in the future, I have a father to rely on, my father loves you the most, and you know it."

A gust of wind blew, and the clothes hidden in the corner were blown up, Jiang Ruofu raised his eyes slightly, and Jiang Lan was busy hiding.

Jiang Ruofu looked at the corner and said deliberately,

"What's more, the marriage between you and the Lu family has been settled, and your husband's family will protect you in the future."

Jiang Lanqian clenched her hands and stared at the black and white banner.

Jiang Ruofu lowered his head and wiped Jiang Mo's tears again,

"Don't cry, although my aunt is gone, she was born as the daughter of a wealthy family, and although she married into a high family as a concubine, her father protected her all her life, and she didn't suffer too much bullying, and she gave birth to you again, I want to leave with a smile."

Jiang Moyin was still sobbing quietly.

———

Empress Chen's slightly old but majestic voice sounded,

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one can give a satisfactory answer to the mourning family."

"Do you want to watch these plagues become a dead land?"

Yin Yushi looked around, and everyone was silent, after all, it was the wat that came out,

"There is a law."

Chen Hou fixed his eyes,

"Let's talk about it."

Yin Yushi bowed his head and said respectfully,

"Now the disaster relief policy of the Jiangnei history has caused infighting in many places, it is nothing more than because of the unfair division of the plaque, if the imperial history is decentralized, and every squire who supports the victims of the disaster is awarded a plaque, wouldn't it be able to calm the people's grievances?"

Lu Shaofu immediately retorted,

"If it is true that every relief portal is distributed, then what is the point of this plaque? Originally, these portals were fighting for the reputation of the largest local clan, but if they were all distributed, how could they get what they wanted? ”

"I'm afraid I will only think that the court and the mud, no matter how much they do, they all get the same plaque, how can they be willing to accept the victims again?"

Yin Yushi bowed again,

"What the minister wants to say is what Shaofu said."

"Let all localities make overall plans to calculate the local disaster victims, and then calculate the number of local clans, divide them evenly, take this number as the boundary, and those who accept the disaster victims over this number can get a plaque, and if the number is not enough, there is none, and among these portals in the plaque, it is also necessary to select a large family that receives the most disaster victims, consumes the most manpower and material resources, and has the most prestige in the local area, and is registered in the register, which is the first major clan in the local area."

"The plaque given to the imperial court before was just a hint, and it did not directly indicate that the person who got the plaque was the first clan in the local area."

"But now that it has been clearly stated that the local clan that receives the most disaster victims can be registered and become the first local clan certified by the imperial court, it is certain that the family will eventually decline, but this name has always been there, which is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death."

"The local people dare not offend at will, and outsiders do not dare to intrude, they must be respectful, if it is a Shang clan, there are more opportunities to get close to the imperial court and become an imperial businessman, these interests are self-evident, otherwise when the imperial court says that it will issue a plaque, everyone will not be so bloody, and even cause infighting when the plaque is unfair."

Ting Wei couldn't help but interject,

"Although there are big families that can be registered and become the number one family in the local area, but everyone has that plaque, so what is the use of what everyone has? I am afraid that the local clans will become more and more reluctant to take in the victims. ”

Yin Yushi said loudly,

"The plaque issued can commend everyone's achievements in relieving disasters, Fu Yan's heirs, Lord Tingwei thinks about it, although everyone has it, and the person who gets the plaque is no longer eye-catching, but if any family does not have it, the secret meaning is also outside the local virtuous family, not recognized by the imperial court."

"Wouldn't people choose to take in the victims in order to enter the stream and not be excluded?"

Empress Chen listened to everyone arguing and shouting, arguing and shouting, but after all, there was no satisfactory way.

"Since Yushi can propose this method, he must be able to find a more appropriate method, and this method may not be able to control disasters with one move."

Yin Yushi saw that the tense and contentious atmosphere had reached the right time, and hurriedly took two steps forward,

"Your Minister, here's a new disaster relief plan."

"I hope the Queen Mother will see it."

The palace man took the roll of paper from Yushi's hand and handed it to Empress Chen.

Chen Hou opened the scroll and was a little surprised when she saw the handwriting, but she looked at it at a glance and ten lines, and finally closed the paper scroll.

"The imperial history remains."

"Retreat."

"Long live the Queen Mother, long live my emperor."

The sound shook like thunder, resounding through the hall.

Yushi was summoned to the inner hall, and Empress Chen took the scroll of paper and said,

"You tell the truth, where did this disaster relief come from?"

Yin Yushi knelt down in his robe,

"Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, this disaster relief policy was obtained from a guest, not from a minister."

Empress Chen nodded, closing the guess in her heart,

"Sure enough."

"The handwriting on this is not like yours, and it is written in tobacco ash, and even ink is useless. It can be seen that if this person is not from a poor background, he will hide people's eyes and ears and dare not use pen and ink. ”

"Mourning family, I want to meet you as a guest."

Yin Yu Shifu descended,

"The Queen Mother summoned her, this person must not dare to disobey, but this person's identity is special, and everyone must not let everyone know his name."

Chen Hou pondered,

"Since this is the case, then choose a suitable time to send this person to the palace, and the mourning family will definitely meet this person."

The imperial history is deeply blessed,

"Yes."

——

Shaofu Mansion,

"Today on the top of the main hall, the imperial history offers advice, looking at the face of the queen mother, it must be that this disaster relief policy is extremely appropriate, since the matter of the disaster relief policy is to be solved, then the Jiang family has been very honored before, I am afraid it is to be reset again."

Lu Shaofu walked anxiously in the court, talking to himself.

Lu Weizhang entered the court,

"Why should my father be alarmed by this, isn't that a good thing?"

Lu Shaofu waved his hand,

"How can this be considered a good thing?"

Lu Weizhang arched his hand,

"Daddy forgot? Now our relationship with the Jiang family has not yet returned. ”

"Because the Jiang family is grounded, except for the county lord and his sisters, no one can enter and exit freely, so our family has never been able to come to the door to dissolve the marriage contract, but now, the Chen family probably knows something, so even when the Jiang family is in trouble, they still choose to marry the Jiang family."

"Since the Chen family has smelled it, although we don't know the specific situation, we can follow the trend, the matter of internal history, even if the official is not reinstated, there will be no more punishment, my father also said, the Jiang family was very favored by the queen mother before, and I am afraid that the queen mother can't bear to blame it."

"Isn't this a good time?"

"Now, if the marriage contract is made in advance, it will undoubtedly be a charcoal in the snow for the Jiang family, and the Jiang family will remember this kindness for the rest of their lives, since we have decided to aim the blade at the prime minister, then the Jiang family is naturally not an opponent, it should be a hand in hand with us."

When Lu Shaofu heard this, he was almost enlightened,

"Yes, yes, I have to go to Jiang's house quickly and find ways to advance the marriage contract."

"Since the county lord can enter and exit freely, let's start with the county lord."

"You're in the same school as her, so it's going to be extremely easy for you."

Lu Weizhang arched his hand,

"Yes."

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

The reason why the prime minister is still willing to marry Neishi at this juncture is that he doesn't recognize Neishi, but the daughter of the Jiang family's Dazong, if there is punishment in the future, what does the daughter of Dazong have to do with Neishi?

What's more, the Queen Mother has always loved Jiang Ruofu, and at this juncture, she also named her the county lord, and the Chen family is not stupid, I am afraid they all know that the Queen Mother treats the internal history and Jiang Ruofu separately.

Naturally, there is nothing to scruple about.

But Mo Yin...

But there is no such identity.

The sweat on Lu Weizhang's head hung down into the placket of his clothes.

This time, he deliberately said that in order to deceive his father, he wanted to rescue Mo Yin from this fire pit as soon as possible.

——

Jiang Ruofu was walking in the palace and met Wen Guqi head-on.

She subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Chen Jing caught up with her and called,

"Azie."

Wen Guqi's gaze was cast over, as heavy as night, hiding indescribable emotions, Jiang Ruofu didn't dare to look at him.

CHEN Jingdao,

"It just so happens that my aunt and grandmother want me to go fishing on the pond with Ruofu, why don't you come with Aqi?"

Jiang Ruofu subconsciously stepped back a little.

Chen Jing's tall figure slightly blocked her.

Wen Guqi looked at her and raised his eyes,

"Okay."

——

Jiang Ruofu sat in the pavilion, hesitated again and again, and finally spoke,

"There's a word I want to ask the world."

Wen Guqi raised his hand and picked up the lid of the pot with a long sandalwood clip,

"Just ask."

Jiang Ruofu took a deep breath,

"My fourth sister married the prince of Duanwang, does it have the handwriting of the prince?"

Wen Guqi lowered his eyelids and picked up the teapot,

"Why do you ask?"

The hot tea fell into the tea bowl, and a lot of white mist was born in the summer.

Jiang Ruofu said in a low voice,

"I don't believe in coincidences."

"Even if he recognizes the wrong person, why does the prince of Duanwang have to marry someone back?"

Wen Guqi raised his eyes, and the emotion in his eyes was bottomless,

"Then ask the people closest to you."

Jiang Ruofu couldn't guess it,

The closest person?
