Chapter 972: Heavy Rain
Qin Yining sighed helplessly and looked at Shi Fang: "Brother Shi, the road is muddy and sticky, and the car is stuck in and can't get out, let's get out of the car." ”
Shi Fang had no objection, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's not far from that Zhuangzi here, even if you walk." ”
Xiao Xue and Da Han, who were sitting at the door of the car, went out to hold up the umbrella first, Qin Yining jumped out of the carriage, his feet fell into the mud at once, and he took the umbrella and walked to the side of the road with difficulty to stand still.
Shi Fang didn't care if there was mud on the ground, so he jumped out of the car and reached out to pick up the umbrella in Xiaoxue's hand, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by the other party's wrist.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Xiaoxue sneered, twisted hard, only heard a soft click, Shi Fang's arm was twisted off, and it hurt so much that he wanted to open his mouth to scream, but he was quickly covered by Da Han's eyes.
Xiaoxue and Dahan carried Shi Fang to the woods like piglets.
Shi Fang had already realized that the situation was wrong, and he writhed and struggled wildly, but in the hands of Xiao Xue and Da Han, his strength was not worth mentioning at all.
Looking at their distant backs, Qin Yining turned his back and closed his eyes.
Seeing Qin Yining like this, she knew that she still couldn't bear to kill people, and couldn't help but persuade: "Princess, don't blame yourself too much, this kind of person is a scourge to stay, and it can't threaten the safety of you and the prince, so you can't stay anymore." ”
Qin Yining nodded, "I know." It's just that there are still some ...... Maybe I'm a woman's kindness. ”
"The princess is a soft-hearted person."
Unlike these people, they have long been accustomed to fighting desperately in the sea of swords and fires, and they don't care about life and death and the like.
At this time, the carriage had already returned to the main road, and he went to ask Qin Yining to get into the car.
Qin Yining nodded and returned to the car, took off his muddy and water-soaked boots, and replaced them with the spare embroidered shoes in the car.
In just a few moments, Xiaoxue and Dahan returned. Qin Yining knew that they would handle it properly, so he didn't ask in detail, so he ordered him to go back to the house.
On the way back, the drizzle, which had lasted for two months, suddenly turned heavy and became a torrential rain.
Bean-sized raindrops crackled the roof of the carport, and rainwater flowed through the cracks in the windows and doors. The corners and sleeves of Qin Yining's robe were wet, not to mention the stunned people who were wearing a cloak and a hat outside the carriage, and they were even more soaked.
After returning home, Qin Yining asked the kitchen to prepare ginger soup quickly, and everyone poured a big bowl.
Rock Candy even prepared a medicinal bath, so that Qin Yining hurriedly took a hot bath, so as not to provoke the cold.
When he entered the door, Qin Yining had just sat in front of the makeup and wiped his long wet hair.
The footsteps of the owl were slight, his heart was hot, and his bones were crispy.
Such a beauty is by his side all day long, sitting, lying and walking, smiling, all beautiful like a painting, he is sure that he will not be able to fit others in his eyes in this life.
"Sister Yi'er." Xiao Xiao took the soft handkerchief in Bingtang's hand and clumsily wiped Qin Yining's hair.
Qin Yining said with a smile: "I asked people to prepare hot water, you can also take a hot bath later, and leave a bowl of ginger soup for you, you hurry up and eat it hot." The rain suddenly became fierce, and I don't know how long it will stop. As he spoke, he turned and took the handkerchief in his hand and wiped his hair himself.
Jiyun came with ginger soup, and Xiao Xiao took it and drank it, sticking out his tongue spicily.
"This rain has been falling for two months, and the whole week has become water. If such a torrential rain falls for several days in a row, I am afraid that the houses in the low-lying areas will be submerged. I've just sent someone out to investigate what's going on outside. ”
Qin Yining nodded worriedly, "I'm also worried." Not to mention the distance, it is Huichuan County, the terrain is not high, and the place where the imperial tomb was started should have accumulated a lot of water now. ”
"yes, it's almost a little lake. Every day, there are people who go out to dig for water, but the speed of Taosheng is not comparable to the speed of stagnant water, so they can only find another way to divert water. I think if the construction of this imperial tomb wants to start, I am afraid that it depends on when God will allow it. ”
Qin Yining sighed helplessly.
"The construction of the Holy Mausoleum is too bumpy, and I don't know if I have asked Qin Tian to calculate it."
Xiao Xiao drank the remaining ginger soup, put the empty bowl on the table, poured a glass of water and rinsed his mouth, hearing Qin Yining say this, he almost squirted out the water.
"Qin Tianjian is afraid that he doesn't dare to calculate it well, right? The saint is quite superstitious about this, if he calculates something bad, won't he be angry? ”
Qin Yining thought about it, what Tianjizi calculated back then, made Li Qitian always afraid of the to this day, if Qin Tianjian said a bad word, Li Qitian would behead all Qin Tianjian if he didn't do it well.
After all, it is the right time for Li Qitian to build the imperial mausoleum at his age, and this project cannot be completed in three or five years, maybe it will not be completed until Li Qitian's death, let alone several delays.
The world cares most about whether he can be safe after death, and Li Qitian, as the emperor, cares even more.
However, this heavy rain can be regarded as giving Lu Heng a certain amount of time. I think he must have sent someone to investigate the stone factory by this time. ”
"Yes. Although my people have not found out whether he has probed or not, given his temperament, they should have found out. It's just that he can't do it because I'm here. A heavy rain delayed the start of construction, and he could take the opportunity to figure out a solution. ”
Qin Yining shook his head, "It's better for us to be in the north here, and the old capital has already caused a lot of floods." How many people were forced to leave their homes, it was a drought back then, and now it is a flood, so it is not peaceful, and it is always the common people who suffer. ”
Qin Yining's long hair was scattered behind him, his eyebrows were slightly worried, his eyes were worried, and his appearance was delicate and soft.
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but take her into his arms in distress, and sighed: "I'm just like you, I'm worried about those people. It's okay, we still have some silver on hand, or I will order someone to go to the south for disaster relief, right? It doesn't matter if you're worried about the saint's jealousy, let's secretly order people to act. In this way, we will have some peace in our hearts, do you say? ”
When Qin Yining heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a gentle warmth melted in his heart.
All the money was used to raise soldiers. Whether his fist is hard or not is directly related to the victory or defeat and life and death between him and Li Qitian, but he is willing to give priority to the people when natural and man-made disasters come.
Although this man is ambitious, he is not a man who only thinks about himself.
She didn't hear that Li Qitian had done anything under the natural disaster, but her man was not famous, and even considered going incognito to do practical things for the people.
Qin Yining thought, this is where the charm of Xiao Xiao's personality lies, right? It is no wonder that there is no shortage of loyal followers around him.
"Yes, naturally. I still have some silver in my hand, and I think the treasurer will approve of me going to the relief of the victims. I have fields, manors and factories in the south, so why don't I let the treasurer mobilize those people to act? ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"As for the silver, I won't use you for the time being. I still have enough money in my hand to support it for a while, and if it is not enough, I will tell you. ”
Xiao Xiao knew that Qin Yining was thinking about his men, so he nodded movingly, "Okay." Just tell me when you arrive. Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie will also agree with us to save people. ”
Qin Yining nodded heavily.
Taking advantage of the time when Xiao Xiao went to bathe, Qin Yining told the stunner to send a letter to the shopkeeper Zhong and asked him to come for an interview.
The torrential rain lasted all day, and the water on the construction site of the imperial tomb had accumulated into a lake.
The people were worried, and everyone was begging in their hearts.
Xu heard everyone's voice, and on the third day, the torrential rain finally turned into a gentle light rain.
Qin Yining couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shopkeeper Zhong and Qin Yining were talking in the flower hall.
"The princess suggested that the terraces be reclaimed earlier, and our people are already working on it. Although it is hard, the effect is much better than in the low-lying waterland. The results of this year's autumn harvest can already be predicted. ”
Qin Yining smiled and nodded, "Thanks to the shopkeeper Zhongda, I only know how to come up with ideas, but it takes a lot of trouble to really implement them, and these are the credits of the shopkeeper Zhongda." ”
Shopkeeper Zhong shook his head with a smile, "This is nothing, if it weren't for the princess's orders, I wouldn't know what to do like a headless fly." Is the princess planning to go to Jinan this time? ”
"yes." Qin Yining smiled, his eyebrows full of sorrow, "The south has been hit by disasters, I really can't stand it, after all, it is our hometown." In recent years, there have been many disasters in the land of Dayan, a little better, but it is a natural disaster, first a drought, then the earth dragon turned over, and now there is a flood, I really can't see it. I have discussed with the prince, do our best to try to let as many people survive, it is too difficult to control the water, first start by helping the people, even if you can't afford to provide dry rice, thin porridge can make people hungry. ”
Shopkeeper Zhong nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up, "The prince and the princess are righteous." Don't hide it, the old man does things for the princess, and he doesn't want anything else, just to feel at ease. The princess never did anything to save herself, and she admired the princess's high righteousness, and she was willing to participate in it and make more efforts. ”
Qin Yining said movingly: "If there is no big shopkeeper Zhong to sit for me, no matter how good I am, I can't do it as usual." ”
The shopkeeper waved his hand shyly.
The two discussed for a long time, and when everything was properly decided, the shopkeeper Zhong got up and took his leave, "In this case, I will set off tomorrow and rush to the south with our people, and I will contact the princess again when there is news." ”
Qin Yi nodded, "Shopkeeper Zhong takes care all the way, if there is any difficulty, I must arrange someone to tell me immediately." ”
"Yes, don't worry, princess."
Qin Yining personally sent the shopkeeper Zhong out of the second door.
Jiyun held an umbrella for Qin Yining on the side, and said with some concern: "The princess's silver is not blown by the wind, and it may not be able to last long, if your silver is used up again, and the court has not allocated relief, what can I do?" ”
Qin Yining was actually worried, after all, the wealth she had was for disaster relief
It's just a drop in the bucket.
"Now I can only take one step at a time."
Qin Yining and Jiyun walked back along the verandah, and at this moment, the mother-in-law on the second door hurriedly ran in to report the news.
"Princess, the prince ordered someone to come and spread the word, saying that an important nobleman from the capital has arrived at the palace at this time, and the prince asks you to change your clothes and go with him to meet him."
