Chapter 158: Snow Disaster Relief Taisun Kaohuyan
When Hua Qiao woke up, the genius was slightly bright, but it was actually early, but the white snow light outside illuminated the window.
She rolled over and almost fell off the couch, waking her up in one fell swoop. It was only when my eyes rolled around that I found myself sleeping in the study. was about to get up from the soft collapse, only to find that Hu Yanjin was wearing a thin cushion, covering their big coats, and was sleeping on the ground next to the soft collapse.
Ah! This fool, you can't sleep cold like this? Hua Qiao was about to wake him up, but the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, because a large hand had already grabbed it. Hu Yanjin didn't open his eyes, but the corners of his mouth crooked into a smile.
"You're stupid! Won't it wake me up last night? Hua Qiao complained: "Otherwise, you can go back to your room to sleep, isn't it cold to sleep on the ground?" ”
"You can sleep anywhere, but I can't? I was going to leave with you for a while last night, but I didn't expect to fall asleep. ”
Hu Yanjin sat up with a smile, his hand still refused to let go, he pulled the buckwheat down with a little force, and the two sat on the cushion together, leaning their backs against the soft collapse.
"Hua Qiao, shall we take the master and Hua Rong over? I found a vacant yard next door, and I was inquiring about the owner's house to see if I could buy it, and as soon as the courtyard wall was opened, our house was very large. ”
"Who is 'us' with you?" Hua Qiao slapped his hand away and smiled.
"You, do you want to pay your debts? The master has promised to marry you to me. And also...... Mr. Wu wrote to say that my father had returned, and he was afraid that he would soon come to Jingshi. ”
On the way back yesterday, Lin Longfeng handed him his father's letter. Hu Yanjin felt that it was better to talk to Hua Qiao first, and in the letter he replied last night, he also informed his father about marrying Hua Qiao.
"Your dad is back? That's great! It's been a long time since you've seen your dad, have you? ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen him, and if I meet, I may not know him anymore......" Hu Yanjin's words were exactly what he was thinking.
His father deliberately tampered with the old master's last wishes and took the lead in encouraging Yi Chengjin to seize power, which would inevitably set off a bloody storm. My father only wanted to avenge the destruction of my family, but he didn't care, there would be a new revenge, so he was born.
Such a father made him feel strange.
"Your father came to Jingshi, so is it inconvenient for me to live with you?" Hua Qiao suddenly remembered this question.
Hu Yanjin looked at her sideways, couldn't help but take her in his arms, and said with a smile: "What, don't you dare to see your father-in-law?" This time, my father came just in time to formalize our family affairs, so I wanted to take the master over as well. ”
"It's too hard to go out in winter, and it's never too late to come back next year when the weather is warmer." Although Hua Qiao was also anxious, she thought that Daddy was sick for a while, and it was indeed not a good thing to travel long distances.
Hu Yanjin nodded: "That's right, at this time, the Cao River is also broken, and I can only take a carriage, which is really hard." Wait for the Cao River to open to navigation next year, and then let them come by boat. Then...... You're supposed to be sixteen, right? You're born in March, I remember. ”
"Am I getting old?"
"It's not getting old, it's getting married." Hu Yanjin smiled warmly.
The girl of the Ming Dynasty, fifteen and Xuan, began to make a marriage, and after sixteen, they can marry one after another. If you can't get married at the age of 20, you will become an "old girl", and it is almost impossible to pick a good family.
However, those who continue to fill the house like these slightly older, sensible, and can take care of the family when they get married.
Next year, it should be an eventful autumn, Hu Yanjin felt a little uneasy in his heart, this uneasiness made him want to marry Hua Qiao back soon, just like now, he could see her every day when he woke up......
My father would go to Beijing before the first month, because in the first month, the New Year would be closed for nearly 20 days, which was a good time for them to contact the deceased. It's good that my father doesn't live here, but if he does, he must be jumping chickens and dogs.
Hu Yanjin sighed softly: It must be that the father and son are incompatible.
After breakfast, Hu Yanjin hurried to the prince's mansion.
"Huyan, look." Zhu Zhanji handed him a piece of paper, and at a glance, he knew that it had been copied from it.
It reads: Recall the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, recall Hu Ying and other ministers sent out to carry out the emperor's secret mission, and the officials will make other arrangements.
"Your Highness, this ......"
"I'm the only one to tell you...... I guess the person the emperor was looking for has already been found. Some people went back and forth, saying that Hu Ying hurriedly entered the palace in the middle of the night last night, and the emperor's grandfather actually met him, and the two talked secretly for a long time, and this morning the emperor's grandfather made such a will. ”
Hu Yanjin knew that this was Hu Ying telling Zhu Di that Zhu Yunwen had been found, but he was terminally ill, and if he said something like that, Zhu Di also let go of the biggest obstacle in his heart. But he remembered something else:
"It's a bit of a trick......
Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "Why is it not easy?" ”
"There are still two envoys in Ying Tianfu, waiting for the next time the Three Treasures eunuch goes to the West, and then go back with the ship, this stop, won't they never be able to return to their own country?"
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he laughed and said: "What I was doing at the time, I was right, you are responsible for this matter, and you should be concerned." If they can't go back, they will give them a marquis, lead the court to Lu, and return to the west in the future, and treat each other with the courtesy of the marquis, and the Ming Dynasty will be considered benevolent and righteous. ”
Hu Yanjin also smiled. Zhu Zhanji is very decisive in doing things, and he has a tolerance that is higher than ordinary people, and many things are in his hands, which not only handles them flexibly, but also always convinces people.
Isn't it better for such a person to be the emperor for the Ming Dynasty and the people?
"This year, not only is the winter cold early, but there are also snowstorms in some parts of the south. Early this morning, some people proposed that there was a shortage of official grain, and that grain should be lent to the people instead of allocating grain for disaster relief. What do you think? ”
"Weichen thinks that it can't."
Hu Yanjin saw Zhu Zhanji encouraging him with his eyes, so he explained:
"Snow affects not only the current year, but also the planting the following spring, and the only benefit is that there will be fewer pests and diseases next year. If they borrow grain, they will have to repay the grain and pay taxes next year, and the people will certainly not be able to support themselves with the remaining grain.
But they will forget that it is the borrowed grain that feeds them this winter, and they will blame the reason for not being able to survive on the heavy taxes of the imperial court, how wrong is the imperial court? Therefore, the minister thought that borrowing grain would only get double the people's grievances, and it was absolutely impossible. ”
"Well said! Your statement is exactly the same as that of the head of the household. The emperor's grandfather adopted Fang Shangshu's opinion, and also scolded the minister who suggested borrowing grain. ”
Zhu Zhanji looked at Hu Yanjin and nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"If you are wronged, I will do this young James first, you follow Lonely, Lone will not treat you badly."
