Chapter 381: The Influx of Refugees
Nalan Jin always felt that Shen Caiyi was a hidden danger, just like the time bomb around her, maybe it would be reimbursed when she would have no bones.
It doesn't matter if she is broken, but now it is not easy to find the lost Dongfang Qi, and she will never allow any mistakes to occur under her nose.
So Nalan Jin spent money, dragged his business friends, and invited a person with a little bit of work to quietly protect Dongfang Qi in secret.
Except for Nalan Jin, no one knows about this matter, including Dongfang Yi.
In order to consolidate his position in the future, Shen Caiyi can't always be subordinate to others and take great pains.
always went to curry favor with Dongfang Qi, and even spent money to buy all kinds of food and toys for Dongfang Qi.
For Dongfang Qi, it is a child's nature to love to play, let alone eat and leave.
When he saw something dazzling, he wanted to try it, but he couldn't control his curiosity, and every time he was tempted by the food in Shen Cai's hand, Nalan Jin was angry.
"Qi'er!" Nalan Jin stood behind him and shouted, Dongfang Qi's frightened hand trembled, and the thing fell to the ground.
"Mother......" Dongfang Qi was afraid to walk to his aunt's side.
"How many times have I told you, don't eat other people's things casually, have you forgotten what you said for your mother?" Nalan Jin angrily walked over and accused Dongfang Qi.
She stepped on the ground and fell to the ground food, which was a delicately made white rabbit steamed bun, which made people like it at first glance, no wonder children love it so much.
Shen Caiyi watched that her mind was trampled under Nalan Jin's feet, and in the name of teaching Dongfang Qi a lesson, she was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai and talking about her.
"Sister Jin'er, as for this, I just saw that Qi'er was cute and likable, so I specially asked people to buy this food for the child, according to my sister's words, it looks like I will poison it." Shen Caiyi gritted her teeth, but she still had a smile on her face.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, seeing Dongfang Qi's frightened eyes looking at him, Nalan Jin's heart is not comfortable. But as a lesson from the past, she had to be careful.
"Qi'er, be good, mother's hug, okay?"
Nalan Jin slowly comforted Dongfang Qi's young heart, Dongfang Qi looked up at the aunt next to her, she nodded hintively, and let Dongfang Qi pass.
Only then did Dongfang Qi let go of the fear in his heart, walked to Nalan Jin's side full, and hugged Nalan Jin with his delicate arms.
Nalan Jin's heart was about to break.
Seeing Dongfang Qi so scared, she felt uncomfortable.
Nalan Jin didn't want to leave a bad impression in Dongfang Qi's heart, but after weighing the pros and cons, she had to do it.
"Qi'er is still young, and some things are still told to him slowly." The aunt was awkwardly circling on the side.
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, how do I know what wolf ambitions are hidden under the gentle and kind appearance, right, Sister Caiyi, Second Lady." Nalan Jin deliberately looked at Shen Caiyi with a smile in a heavy tone.
Shen Caiyi looked at Nalan Jin's smile, eerie and terrifying. It is as if his evil deeds are exposed in plain sight and in broad daylight.
"Sister Jin'er's yin and yang weirdness means that I have this wolf ambition?" Shen Caiyi looked at Nalan Jin in a swallowed voice, "Sister really wants to think so much about my kindness, then what else can I say, it's not interesting to stay any longer, I might as well go back to the Western Regions." ”
Shen Caiyi took retreat as advance, thinking that he would take a step back to gain more room for improvement, but what he didn't expect was that he dug a very suitable pit for himself instead.
"Whatever you want, go out and turn left, go straight and don't send it!" Nalan Jin turned her head and glared at Shen Caiyi, her eyes were full of protective malice, "Don't think that if you call the second lady, you are really half the master here, don't forget, this is Nalan Mansion!" ”
Nalan Jin pointed out the door, there was no room for remorse in his words, and Shen Caiyi looked at Nalan Jin dumbfounded.
originally thought that there was a good hand of cards, and there was not one left, but it was intercepted by Nalan Jin. At this moment, it is difficult to ride a tiger, whether it is to go, not to stay.
In a dilemma.
Dongfang Qi in his arms looked at this group of red-faced people with red ears as if he didn't understand, in the eyes of his children, he didn't think that there would be so many ups and downs behind the brocade clothes and jade food.
Dongfang Qi stretched out her hand to let her aunt hug her, she shook her head and asked him to stay in Nalan Jin's arms obediently.
Nalan Jin's words did not have the slightest leeway, Shen Caiyi opened her mouth wide in embarrassment, and she couldn't say a word for a long time to create a step for herself.
"Auntie, you should be able to understand my feelings, all things in Qi'er in the future must be approved by me, I don't want him to sleep in the open again, without clothes and without food for three years." Nalan Jin looked at her aunt with heartache in her eyes and tears.
The aunt nodded, looked at the ignorant Dongfang Qi and touched her head.
The air in the room was choking, making people a little suffocated, only Dongfang Qi kept babbling to himself.
Just when everyone was embarrassed and didn't know how to speak, suddenly the butler broke in in a panic and looked left and right.
"Miss, it's not good, there are a lot of refugees in the city suddenly, and they are all crowded at the gate of Nalan Mansion, what should I do?" The housekeeper's face was full of anxiety, and he was a little surprised to see Shen Caiyi there.
Refugee!
"In this capital, at the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, how can there be refugees?" Nalan Jin sent Dongfang Qi to her aunt's arms.
Since the year when the emperor ascended the throne, there were refugees, and for more than 20 years, even beggars rarely appeared at the feet of the emperor in the capital.
Could it be that God knew that the emperor was critically ill, and Long Wei couldn't suppress the evil spirit, so he let the wind of refugees run rampant all over the capital?
"I heard that it was the Jianghuai generation that caused the flood, and the local officials in various places, worried that their black yarn would not be safe, drove all the refugees in the city, and they fled all the way to the capital."
The housekeeper told Nalan Jin all the news he had heard, 1510.
After hearing this, she was furious, and she really disregarded the lives of others for her own selfish desires.
"What about the officials in the capital, why don't they care?" Nalan Jin didn't understand these people's thinking at all.
"Those officials are all wine bags and rice bags, and they have reported to the imperial court, but what should I do now?" The butler pointed to the complaining refugees outside.
Nalan Jin walked outside and heard the cries of the refugees, "Take out all the rice and food in the house, set up a porridge shed outside the house, and let the people in the workshop set up temporary tents, so that they can have a place to live at night, and the wages will be paid." ”
Nalan Jin quickly cut through the mess, and quickly arranged things properly to temporarily solve the situation in front of him.
"Okay, I'll go and order someone to prepare." The housekeeper had to quickly arrange for the next person, "Come, you all come with me." ”
When Shen Caiyi saw that Nalan Jin was busy, she squeezed out a smile at her aunt and left quickly.
Nalan Jin turned her head and saw Shen Caiyi's back slipping away, and she didn't have the heart to take care of her in the current matter, so she had to let her leave first.
The news of the refugees soon reached the court, and the emperor dragged his seriously ill body and listened to the sighs of the civil officials in high positions.
On weekdays, there are some people who play tricks, and when it is critical, no one can come up with a solution.
The old emperor listened to their flashy words, his condition became more serious, and he coughed incessantly, and the eunuch was afraid to catch it with his hand, which was full of blood.
"Zhong Aiqing...... Aiqing doesn't want to gossip, but what is the best way to solve it? The old emperor asked weakly.
"Back to my father, in the opinion of my sons, these refugees should be driven out of the capital." Zhao Wenlu glanced at Zhao Wenluo and said.
"Father, don't ask." Zhao Wenluo immediately stopped, "There are refugees, which is a sign of prosperity." Erchen believed that the refugees should first be appeased, and then the imperial court should send people to the Jianghuai region to solve the disaster in person, build damaged houses and dams, and let them live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"According to what the Seventh Emperor Brother said, wouldn't the imperial court bow its head like a refugee for disaster relief." Zhao Wenlu instigated the old emperor.
"It's not that I bowed my head, when the main room showed my father's benevolence, I heard that Nalan Mansion had started to give porridge, and I could walk side by side with them." Zhao Wenluo continued to suggest.
"It's hard to rely on a businessman. It is evident that my court is incompetent. ”
"You!"
The two princes, chattering in front of the old emperor, were red-faced. The officials in the court are even more swaying from side to side, and they are worried that the most they will find is their own glory and wealth.
There are no refugees in my heart, whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with these officials who are asking for the lives of the people.
The old emperor was unwell and couldn't hold on, so he finally decided to adopt Zhao Wenluo's suggestion.
Zhao Wenluo brought people from his own house to help Nalan Jin, and by the way, he set up a lot of tents to solve more refugees.
"Thank you so much, you are a prince who came to give porridge and set up a tent in person." The old man of Nalan sincerely thanked Zhao Wenluo.
"I'm ashamed to say that this was originally a matter of the imperial court, but I asked you civilians to do it with your own money, but some people in the court ......" Zhao Wenluo was ashamed and couldn't speak.
"As long as it can solve the problem of refugees, anyone can do the same, and no one has a difficult time." Nalan Jin patted Zhao Wenluo's shoulder to comfort.
"Also, I have been kind to Dongfang, and I plan to find some work for these young and strong men to work for, after all, this goes on...... Nor is it a way. Nalan Jin shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
"This method is very good, I am like my father asking for instructions."
Zhao Wenluo hurriedly told the old emperor the good news, and he was overjoyed after hearing it, and praised Nalan Jin's righteous deeds, and praised Dongfang Yi for having brains.
Not only that, but the old emperor also ordered that the affected places in the Jianghuai region follow Nalan Jin's practice and start to work for relief.
"This is the silver and quilts that my father asked me to bring, although it is not much, but it is always a little bit of the court's heart." Zhao Wenluo came with several large boxes.
"Thank you so much, it looks like it's going to rain, I'm still worried about their warmth and cold, you came at the right time." Nalan Jin said gratefully.
