Chapter 131: Blizzard
After the gold festival, the first snow fell, and it was the Spring Festival soon, this year's Spring Festival is the first Spring Festival after the service, and the meaning of the palace and the palace is to do a big job, and the fourth master did not refuse.
It really has to be done, otherwise there is no new atmosphere, and it always stays in the original when the emperor was there.
Since it is a big deal, it has to have a big look, so I rewarded a lot of people in the previous dynasty, especially Li Yan's family, and those who saw it had hot eyes, and some people hit the idea into the harem of the fourth master.
But I'll have to wait for the next draft.
And the harem is also a big seal once, the Li family is still a concubine, the Song family, Niu Hulu's family is a noble concubine, the Zhang family is also a noble concubine, Geng's, Li's, Yin's, Wu's, Feng concubine, the rest except for the Yun family, the rest are always promoted nobles, promised to be promoted, and the concubines also became promised.
No one in the harem was happy for a while, of course, it couldn't be that Li Lu was exposed, but Li Yan was the imperial concubine again, and the imperial concubine was the same as the deputy queen, and the queen's reign was easy to not seal.
So the fourth master felt that he couldn't stand Li Yan a little, so he could only enter Yuhua Palace with a reward.
This time, I naturally don't feel that the concubine has fallen out of favor, but her eyes are still hot, but in the end, she has also given birth to a position, and she is not so sad.
It's just that there are also sad people, for example, the queen, the queen's original plan was to raise Liu's children, but now that they are concubines and are the masters of the first palace, they can naturally raise their own children.
It's not just the queen who is not happy, but also the big Li family back then.
Da Li said hatefully: "Now I am not even as good as those mansions and even concubines. ”
Cao'er looked at Da Li like this, and she didn't know what to say, after all, today's Concubine Gong Niangniang really found a good tree to rely on.
It's just that even if they're unhappy, they still have to be happy this year, even if it's you pretending.
This year's Spring Festival, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the fourth master took the queen to worship the ancestors, and then waited to come back to feast the minister, waiting for the day after tomorrow, it was time to receive the wife in the harem.
Mrs. Li was naturally the first to come, and there was also Mrs. Xie, the queen was stunned that she didn't dare to accept Mrs. Xie's gift, but just invited someone to go to the concubine.
So Mrs. Li accompanied Mrs. Xie to Li Yan's place, and the other wives were very moved.
This Xie family, I'm afraid that there is still a long time of wealth, now the concubine is favored, and there are four sons, the mother family is powerful, this is everything, as for the identity of the son-in-law, not to mention that the queen has no son-in-law, even if there is, isn't the previous dynasty not the son-in-law?
The Spring Festival was spent in a group of people busy working, waiting for the time to be free, Li Yan had time to enjoy the snow outside.
It's just that it's not heavy snow, it's a blizzard, and in just half a day, there is already snow half a person high. There was simply no time to clean up. A person can turn into a snowman by standing outside for a while.
Li Yan ordered early, don't sweep. Let's call it down, when it stops, it's just when it's time.
"Call two people, put on thick cotton jackets, go to Yuqing Palace and tell the eighth elder brother that I am all right here, tell him to stay alive and don't come out. Then I will instruct the people to take care of Concubine Gong and Concubine Qi, "Li Yan is already on his side, don't let them be wronged then, after all, Liu is still pregnant."
The matter of going to Yuqing Palace to see the eighth elder brother was taken over by He Chunting.
Although Yuqing Palace is not far away, it is snowy and difficult to walk. The two little eunuchs used big shovels to half-shovel away the snow, and they couldn't get rid of it all, but it was even thinner than the snow elsewhere. He Chunting didn't care about it, he walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, it was useless to use an umbrella, and he was directly draped in a poncho in summer.
When he arrived at Yuqing Palace, He Chunting didn't know if he was soaked in the snow or if he was sweating because he was too difficult to walk. Anyway, it's all over. The lower half of his body is icy and unconscious.
Seeing that Hong Pan was there, he spoke tremblingly.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I know." Hongpan said funny: "Sun Quan, go get some hot drinks for your brother He and then go back." Give him a change of your clothes. ”
Sun Quan hurriedly smiled and set up He Chunting and went back.
"Hey, spread the word, you are here to ask the little ones to run, look at your loss!" Sun Quan followed Hongpan when he was a child, and he Chunting was naturally familiar with him.
"You can't say that, it's the duty of a slave to pass the word to my brother, isn't it? Don't talk nonsense, pour me tea quickly, I'm freezing to death! Xiao Hezi is still trembling.
Sun Quan poured him tea and he couldn't hold it steadily, but Sun Quan reluctantly drank a cup of food for him.
It takes more than one body to be considered warmer. He was warm, and the two little eunuchs with him were like popsicles. I'm still standing under the porch. I'll have to wait for Brother He to go back for a while.
Li Yan is okay in the garden, anyway, if you don't sweep the snow, you won't sweep the snow, it's okay, the earth dragon is burning, it's warm.
It's just that the minions can't move.
Li Yan only said that he asked the minions to watch for themselves, and it was convenient to sweep out the passage. If you really can't do it, just pass through the snow! The main thing is that the snow doesn't stop, and I really can't get it.
"Look at this snow and it doesn't stop, I'm afraid that some places will suffer disasters again." Ah Ling said.
"Hey, natural disaster, there's no way to do it. Let's take care of the present, I don't know if we should pick up or deliver dinner? "Compared with natural disasters, Ah Qiao is more worried about the master's food.
The fourth master returned to the palace to take away part of the imperial kitchen, but left Liu Wu behind, mainly because he was afraid that Concubine Chen was still recuperating and would not be used to eating food made by others.
Liu Wu is also worried when he sees this weather! It's not that I'm worried that the meal can't be delivered, but I'm afraid that it will be cold if I send it!
I had to make all the pots with a small charcoal stove, so that I could keep warm.
The fourth master can be regarded as depressed in the Qianqing Palace! You don't have to look at it, such a heavy snow will never be just the capital, even if it is not in the distance, then Zhili and other places will inevitably suffer, and it can't be reported now.
Again, Roncodo, I'm afraid they haven't arrived yet. I don't know how the snow is on the Heilongjiang side.
In fact, the snow in Mohe is even bigger, and it is almost impossible for Li Wei to walk an inch, so he can only live in the local area. I can't even go to the post house.
The fourth master is also worried about Li Yan's mother and son, but he is not worried about the snubbing of the slaves, but the weather is so cold all of a sudden, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of supplies for a while, and then they will be cold, either children or adults who are not in good health.
It's just that the fourth master's heart is white, after all, the people in the Internal Affairs Office are not stupid, and they know that the concubine is favored and still touches the moldy head, isn't that a conscious grave?
Fortunately, the blizzard only fell for one day, and the next day it was smaller, and it was obviously powerless.
The eunuchs could finally start clearing the snow. Now the question is. There is nowhere to pour the snow. And you can't let the snow melt completely, and you can't sprinkle salt. There's too much snow, isn't it going to flood if it's all gone?
Li Yan thought funny, this palace should have its own drainage system, right? Otherwise, there is no need for such a heavy rainstorm?
I remember that many people in later generations are praising the drainage system of the Forbidden City, right?
Sure enough, within half a month, the excerpt was handed over. In Zhili, Shanxi, heavy snow crushed many people's houses, and tens of thousands of people were displaced. Quite a few people froze to death on the streets.
The fourth master sighed, this is a helpless thing, so I had to allocate money and food to go to the disaster relief, fortunately, it is the New Year.
This is close, but I'm afraid that there will be more in the distance, but I can't deliver it for a while.
The fourth master sent the thirteenth master to Zhili, and sent the twelfth master of the household department to Shanxi. The Governor of Zhili and the Governor of Shanxi are all people after the fourth master came to power, and the fourth master is still trustworthy. But there has to be someone in charge.
The prince of the first emperor is the best candidate.
Ten days later, the affected parts of the Northeast, Shandong, and Henan were sent to the Qianqing Palace one after another.
Almost half of the northern part of the Qing Dynasty was affected by this snowstorm.
The place is saving itself, and the fourth master keeps throwing down silver and food. Fortunately, there are official warehouses in Henan and Shandong, and there is still food.
The fourth master thought that with such heavy snow in the north of the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia would inevitably suffer serious losses. I'm afraid that a lot of cattle and sheep will freeze to death. And what about Tsarist Russia, which is connected to it?
Tsarist Russia did not have the support of the southern Qing Dynasty and the coast.
The fourth master issued an order and ordered Li Bai to set off to collect grain and grass in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the same day. and levy taxes on silver.
This is a matter that must be trusted by someone who has to be trusted, and it was the fifth master who went in the past. It's just because the fifth master is still in Zhili, and second, now is not the time to receive these, Li Bai was the prefect of Jiangnan, and he is familiar with the land. Moreover, he is the biological father of Concubine Chen. Just this identity is enough to calm many people.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been wealthy, and there are many things of corruption, and almost every year there are several corrupt officials.
There are very few people who can keep the silver and not be moved.
Li Bai received the order and did not dare to delay, and hurriedly set out on the road.
It's just that fortunately, there is not such a big blizzard squeeze, and now that the snow is smaller, it is also a good thing for the banker.
It's just that Long Keduo, Li Yan thought about the Li Si'er he had seen before, and he couldn't help it, that Li Si'er, how to say it, he didn't like it at first glance as a woman's own home, but men like it when they are afraid of time.
Li Yan has never hidden his thoughts from the fourth master, so when the fourth master came, he told the fourth master like this.
The fourth master rubbed Li Yan's head: "Then Li Si'er is involved in a lot of people, and there are people behind him, so he can't move for the time being." ”
Li Yan pursed his lips: "Who else can be bigger than you." The fourth master smiled: "You can say." ”
Li Yan naturally knew that the fourth master had his own ideas, but he just said so.
After saying a few words, Li Yan was also tired, so he slept with the fourth master.
Li Yan pushed the fourth master angrily: "You slow down, I still have back pain after doing it two days ago." ”
The fourth master smiled dotingly: "Okay." ”
It's just that what men say in bed has never been credible, so Li Yan got up the next day as usual with back pain, Li Yan looked at the refreshed fourth master speechlessly, and ate the xiaolongbao in his mouth angrily.
Sure enough, it's better to be a man, but it seems unlikely that Li Yan wants to go to the court by himself after thinking about it.
[It's so hot! It's really hot! Yesterday it was 38 degrees, and now I am holding an examination meeting, and I clearly feel the feeling of sweat flowing down, and the teacher is so able to say, but he actually said something useless.
