Chapter 184: Hitting a Cold Wall
The second princess, who washed her face with tears every day, finally wiped away her tears after half a year, recognized the reality, and began to walk around the noble circle in the capital.
Faced with the tearing scars between the concubines, the second princess was full of gloom and sadness.
"Alas, poor boy, brother and sister who have lost their lives, do not know where they are suffering at this time."
The third princess's face was full of sorrow, "Second imperial sister-in-law, the people who went out to look for it really couldn't find the two children?" ”
The second princess looked at the third brother and sister in disgust, swept the wedding cake in the hand of the third princess to the ground, and stood up from the chair with a pout, "Third brother and sister, what do you mean?" ”
The principle of preemptive strike, there is no one who knows how to do it better than the second princess.
Obviously, it was the second emperor's sister-in-law who knocked out the things in her hand, but Tang Liling dared to sue the wicked first? Although the third princess dared to ridicule the second princess in private, on the surface, she didn't dare.
The third prince is not favored, but she is better than the second prince, she doesn't want to embarrass the third prince between women.
"Second Imperial Sister-in-law, don't just care about your body, don't mean anything else, don't be angry." The third princess is very young, and she is only eighteen years old now.
Gai because the third prince took a fancy to the appearance of the three princesses very early, even if the three princesses at that time were just a little girl.
Yes, the third prince has always kept the position of the main concubine to the third princess, but there are many women in the backyard, which is also the reason why the third princess is jealous of the second princess.
This banquet is a banquet held by the eldest princess of Qionghua, and there is such a big commotion, the eldest princess has to let people come over to ask.
The third princess's eyes were red, and her aggrieved appearance was really more sympathetic than the domineering appearance of the second princess.
The second princess took the lead and walked to the eldest princess's table and told the eldest princess, "Aunt, niece and daughter-in-law are not feeling well, so they will retire first." ”
Pretending to be tough, the eldest princess sighed in her heart, "That's it, you can go back first." ”
Everyone saw the cake rolling away on the ground, and she didn't know why?
Originally, the royal heir was lost, how could there be a reason not to get it back, but it was a saint? The eldest princess tugged at the corners of her mouth and glared at the third princess.
Mrs. Qin's position is high, and she has a friendship with the eldest princess, so sitting under the eldest princess is a little boring.
"They are all uncles and aunts, their nephews are lost, and they are still in the mood to ridicule their hard-working mothers, how long is this brain?"
Mrs. Qin looked at the wedding cake in the bowl with disgust, "Gu Yu, remove the wedding cake, and by the way, let the kitchen send a plate of cold bitter gourd to the third princess." ”
"Hey, are you here to be a guest with me, or are you here to be my master?"
The eldest princess poked her friend's head, very helpless, and didn't stop Gu Yu, who had already left.
"How can the royal family have any family affection, the second princess just can't see it, and she won't be angry if she sees it." The eldest princess is a person who has come over, and she has seen it very thoroughly.
This kind of person has nothing to do, but he has a father who has grown up!
Mrs. Qin likes to go to the rouge shop, and happened to bump into the drunken colt who was brutally dragging the eldest princess, and wanted to take the eldest princess to the Qinglou to help redeem an oiran, but the eldest princess was unwilling, and the colt just began to move roughly, and actually tore the eldest princess's hair in public.
Mrs. Qin didn't look down on this kind of person, so she kicked the person out.
Later, I learned that the suffering woman turned out to be the eldest princess, and I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
The Holy Admiral's own sister has been used, and she can ignore her family affection in vain, and even the ceremony that the eldest princess should have has been canceled.
Later, the eldest princess was able to have the dignity she has now, or His Royal Highness King Liang came back from the northwest and rescued the eldest princess from fire and water.
Therefore, the eldest princess can watch this group of nephews fight with a cold eye, even if innocent children are involved, they will treat them coldly.
"That seed, there's not a good thing!" The eldest princess tugged at the corners of her mouth, only the second prince could let her take a look, and it was also because the second prince came out of the hands of His Royal Highness King Liang.
Madame Qin sympathized with the eldest princess's plight.
"You, you just can't see it, if you see it, you won't organize this banquet." Mrs. Qin reluctantly drank a small cup of fruit wine.
The eldest princess doesn't like to hear this, but she also knows that it is true.
"It's still your fate, you can meet Lord Jiang, and you have a few promising children, but fortunately, your family is smart and married Rui'er's girl early, otherwise?"
She knew that the fifth prince had actually been waiting for Jiang Chuge's coming-of-age ceremony for a long time, and was ready to marry someone into the door.
The two women that Lord Jiang cares about the most, I don't know what the five princes are doing.
"My girl is not suitable for royal strife, whoever wants to go." Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes, the will of the saints, they obey, but they may not necessarily obey, right?
It was also the bad luck of the dead girl that she couldn't save anyone, but she saved the two little ones of the second prince's family.
The little couple who was extremely resentful of Mrs. Qin was staring at the tightly wrapped kid with wide eyes, very puzzled.
"Tang Guanlin, do you know what weather it is now? With such a big sun, you are wrapped in a big cotton jacket, do you want to be killed by the heat? You can bear it! ”
Jiang Chuge brutally pulled the person over, and pulled the person away in three or two clicks.
"Alright, put on your coat and go play, cover your sweat." The little padded jacket is going to be soaked, and I still endure it, and I am not afraid of heat stroke.
Compared with Tang Guanlin's brain circuit, Jiang Chuge prefers the quiet Tang Shiyu, holding a rose-red wild fruit, sitting on a chair, and eating slowly.
Because it was eaten with sugar, it eased a lot of sourness.
Tang Guanlin licked his lips, ran back on his feet, took several wild fruits from the plate and ate them, his sour face was wrinkled.
"It's so sour!" Tang Guanlin regretted it a little.
Still Qiushui couldn't stand it anymore when he looked at the little young master, so he took herbal tea and poured it on Tang Guanlin, so as not to really heat people up.
This year's weather seems to be particularly hot, even if it has reached the beginning of autumn, it still can't ease the heat of the autumn tiger.
Qin Ying took Gou Tongzhi to the outskirts of the city to patrol the river to measure the water level, so as not to be prepared at all because of the drought.
It hadn't rained for more than a month, and it was not wrong for Qin Ying to have this concern.
"My lord, although the water level of the river has dropped, it has not dropped too much, our Jiangzhou Mansion has a lot of water, even in a year of great drought, we will not starve all over the wilderness."
Gou Tongzhi is not actually worried about the drought, if there is a drought, he is more worried about the victims.
Jiangzhou Mansion is the land of fish and rice, in the drought season, although the fields are planted with seedlings, but for those who are hungry, the green seedlings are more delicious than the roots.
Gou Tongzhi once experienced such a great drought for a year, and after the great drought, it was accompanied by the plague, and their family almost fell into the plague.
Of course, at that time, he was not a fellow of Jiangzhou Mansion, but a small county magistrate in northern Shaanxi.
Qin Ying doesn't know how to look at the stars, at night, the stars in the sky are so bright that they can almost illuminate the night, and he also understands that there should be no rain recently.
"I don't know when it will rain again, and God doesn't pity the hard work of the people."
Qin Ying shook his head and looked at the water level on the shore, "Although our Jiangzhou Mansion can escape the drought by relying on the inland river, we can't do nothing without preparation, this time, let's let the people stock some food first." ”
In the year of famine, silver does not care for anything, and food is the most important thing.
"Stockpiles?" Gou Tongzhi was taken aback, you must know that as soon as the grain storage incident comes out, even if there is no drought, it will have to become a drought, and it will make everyone nervous.
"My lord, the matter of stockpiling grain is not a trivial matter, it will cause people to panic at the least, and destroy the foundation of the people at the worst, I hope you will think twice."
Does a drop in the water level mean that there will be a drought, not to mention that the water level has not yet dropped to the lowest level of the drought, and so on, maybe it will rain?
"Master Gou, do you think it's important to take precautions, or is it safe to follow the same steps?"
Qin Ying also knew that her decision was hasty, and after thinking about it, she still chose to be safe, "You are right, we are waiting for five days, if there is any sign of rain, this thing will not happen." ”
"If it hasn't rained yet......"
Even if they don't prepare, the merchants will be ready to take advantage of the opportunity to lift up the goods and make a fortune in the drought years.
Gou Tongzhi thought that Qin Ying would not listen to the advice, but he didn't expect that He Jianhang would hear it, although it was a compromise method, it could also allow everyone to have a buffer, right?
"What the adults said is that if the water level drops badly after five days, the people will be asked to stock up on grain, and they will not have enough to eat in the year of famine."
Gou Tongzhi thought about it, and still felt that what Qin Ying said made sense.
Well, the stinky boy can blast out, and the little girl has to be treated gently.
Qin Ying explained the drought and flood for a long time, and finally did not forget to ask Jiang Chuge's opinion. "Rui'er, let's see in five days, if it doesn't rain yet, how about letting the family start stocking up on some food?"
If there is a major drought in Jiangzhou Prefecture, it will have a great impact on the entire Zhongzhou.
Jiang Chuge frowned, looking at the dark sky outside the door, and the bright colors that crossed the sky, he was a little unsure.
"Do you think there will really be a drought? Have you seen the stars? ”
If it weren't for her dazzle, there would have been a real flash outside, though there was no thunder.
For half a month, the sun in the sky seemed to roast people, and even the water level in the lake dropped, and it is very likely that there will be a drought this year.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, we have to prepare with both hands, don't we? There is a good chance of drought this year! ”
Qin Ying had just finished speaking, and above their heads, there was a boom, and there was a huge thunderclap, and this thunder seemed to be above their heads.
With the loud thunder and the cool breeze that had not been seen for a long time, the candlesticks on the table were blown out.
"It seems that this year is not a year of great drought." Jiang Chuge pulled the frightened little girl to comfort her, and told a rare joke.
"Lord Qin, it can't be that you have done something angry and resentful recently, so that Lei Gongdian wants to give you a warning and let you settle down a little, right?"
In the past, no matter how close the thunder was, it never gave people the illusion of thunder overhead.
Now, not to mention her, even Qin Ying was taken aback, and the feeling of palpitations was really terrifying.
Because the wind blew out the candlestick, Qiushui hurriedly lit the fire and lit the candlestick.
In order to prevent the candlesticks from being blown out by the wind, Qiushui found a heavy lampshade to cover it, and made several candlesticks and put them together.
After the thunder, huge raindrops crackled down, and the moisture and the smell of dust made people feel very oppressive.
"This rain is not small, now you don't have to worry about drought, it's time to worry about floods, day by day, God can't let people stop."
The little girl was frightened and grabbed Jiang Chuge's clothes and didn't move.
Qin Ying originally thought that she would successfully step into her little wife's room today and be able to climb onto the bed again, but as a result, it was hopeless.
"You take Guanlin to rest with you today, and I take Shiyu with me, these two little ones are afraid that they will be frightened and can't let them sleep alone."
