471 Disaster relief
He handed the list to Mama Yuan, and said with a smile, "There's no problem, Mama worked hard to make things clear according to the list, and when she turned around, she still had someone send it to Zhinian Hall for Mrs. Hou to see." ”
Although the Lin clan is now a virtual entity, because of Yan Chong's plan, they still have to do what they should do.
Although Mama Yuan had doubts, she thought that if her wife did this, her reputation would naturally not be wrong, so she readily agreed.
Mama Yuan turned around and walked out, and just happened to bump into Yan Chong who was about to enter the door at the door, and hurriedly stopped her steps, squatted down and saluted, "Lord Shizi." ”
Yan Chong saw the bright red dowry list in her hand at a glance, and said, "It's hard work, mama." ”
Mama Yuan said "don't dare", and then lowered her head and retreated.
Yan Chong raised his eyes, but saw that Pei Jinji, who was originally sitting on the kang, was getting up to come over, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Don't move, I'll come by myself." "He had just come in from outside, and the cold on his body was heavy, but he was sorry to give it to her.
As he spoke, he had already untied the big lotus on his body with a quick movement, and handed it to the red lotus root on the side, asking her to shake off the snowflakes. He warmed his hands and feet by the stove by the door, and then turned into the floor cover.
Pei Jinzhen had already poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, "Warm up." ”
Yan Chong took it, held it in the palm of his hand, and took a sip, the temperature was just right. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's it going?" Pei Jinzhen asked about the situation outside.
This winter, extremely cold, this day of heavy snow will be the west of the city of the dwellings have collapsed a lot, become a disaster, these days, Jingzhao Mansion and the Yamen are busy with the order of disaster relief, the end is busy. Even Yan Chong hasn't been home for a few days.
But this snow has no intention of stopping.
God doesn't give people a way to live, and this poor man's life is not easy.
"Fortunately, the evacuation was timely, and there were few casualties, only the house collapsed a lot." Speaking of this, Yan Chong frowned.
This year, it snowed heavily, but no one expected it to be a disaster.
It was Xiao Qi who reminded Jingzhao Mansion to strengthen patrols early in the morning, especially in the west of the city, and saw that the momentum was not right, so he wanted to withdraw the people as soon as possible.
After that, he also reacted in the most timely, setting up tents for the affected people out of his own pocket, giving clothes and medicines.
Now, King Mu Xiao Qi is in Fengjing City, and he is very popular with the people.
When others mention it, they have to give a thumbs up and praise the "virtuous king".
Anyway, this is a good thing after all, but in Yan Chong's heart, there are always some unexplained doubts.
In this matter, Xiao Qi took advantage of it, but how did he calculate that something would happen in the west of the city? Especially after the fact, you can immediately take out supplies for disaster relief, which cannot be prepared in a day or two. Just like the two mansions of Tong and Ding, which have suffered from the snow disaster now, they are also mentioned by Xiao Qi after the accident in the west of the city. It's all like...... He knew early on that something was going to happen, or even something.
Prophet of Unknown? But how is that possible?
Turning his head to look at Yan Chong holding the teacup, frowning, and looking thoughtful, Pei Jinzhen was straight in his heart.
This snow disaster, it stands to reason, she should also know.
But in the end, she was a woman raised in the boudoir, and back then, she only heard about it, but she didn't know the specifics.
I don't know if it's because I've been living too comfortably lately, but I completely forgot about it, and it wasn't until the snow disaster happened that she suddenly remembered.
If she had thought of it earlier, she would have been able to think of a way to remind Yan Chong, and she would not have sent this credit to Xiao Qi in vain.
Now, the case of King Rong is still unsolved, although no one has mentioned the matter of establishing a prince at the court meeting for the time being, but this is only temporary. At most, after the end of the year, the courtiers will repeat the old story.
Xiao Qi had already ridden the dust, leaving King Ning and King Fu far behind.
And because of the snow disaster, in the court and among the people, have won a good reputation, the people praised the "virtuous king", to enter the East Palace, is not it logical, the people's desire?
Yan Chong withdrew from his thoughts and turned his head, only to see Pei Jinzhen frowning instead, with a bitter and hateful look.
After a little thought, she knew what she was worried about.
He snorted, reached over and grabbed her hand, and said with a smile, "There is a saying that prosperity must decline." He is proud now, but he may not be able to have the last laugh. ”
Xiao Qi's arrogance was just a calculation that Pei Jinzhen didn't dare to speak directly to Yan Chong. After all, in his opinion, Pei Jinzhen is a woman with a soft temperament and will inevitably be afraid, and Yan Chong is even more of a person who can't suffer losses and can't stand it.
He is not afraid of Yan Chong, but Yan Chong actually dares to openly commit murder with a knife, and it is still aimed at the prince and him, this nature is no longer the same as when he fought against Xiao Yi. Even Emperor Yonghe can't protect him, and the saliva of those officials can drown him.
Therefore, whether Pei Jinzhen is for himself or for Yan Chong, he will hide the matter.
Of course, if he told Yan Chong, he Xiao Qi would not suffer.
Xiao Qi thought she was accurate, but how did she know that Pei Jinzhen was no longer the cowardly, soft, timid and timid-minded character he thought he was, she also wanted to hide the matter at first, even if Yan Chong found out, he didn't ask her.
She thought about it, and decided to believe the trust they had built up after so much, and decided to believe him.
After Yan Chong found out, for a moment, he really couldn't control the urge to rush into King Mu's mansion and sword Xiao Qi. Coveting his wife, this is a man who can't stand such humiliation.
But...... But he endured.
Because he knew exactly what the consequences would be if he went.
That kind of consequence not only won't help, but will only make Xiao Qi more proud.
So, he calmed down, planned step by step, and got to this day.
Xiao Qi, even if he wears a mask of benevolence and tolerance, he can't hide his cunning and ruthless inside. Such a person, whether it is for public or private, Yan Chong will never let him sit on the world.
"I'm afraid he can see through it now, what the imperial uncle wants, what kind of king he is. Because of this, he seized all the opportunities and pretended to love the people like a son and worry about the country and the people. Yan Chong sneered.
Pei Jinzhen was worried in his heart, "Then Your Majesty's ......" will be shaken?
After all, as far as Emperor Yonghe is concerned, they are all sons, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat. It's just that because the selection of the prince is also related to the country, he still needs to consider it from the perspective of a king. But what if Xiao Qi just caters to the heart of Emperor Yonghe, and thinks that if he is the king, it is not bad?
Yan Chong's eyes flashed, "Don't worry!" Ye Zhun wouldn't have watched him sit in that seat. ”
He also figured it out after he came out of prison that day. Whether it is Xiao Yun or Xiao Qi, they all have the ability to do a good job as a king.
