After eating and washing briefly, Prince Rong hugged Wanying and slept together. In the dead of night, Prince Rong was finally able to calm down and comfort the pain in Wanying's heart.

"Still bored about the day?"

Wan Ying nodded in her arms and murmured, "Qing'er wants to discuss something with Prince Rong, I don't know if Liulang agrees." ”

Qing'er said, and Liulang listened. No matter what Qing'er says, the wanderer will agree. ”

"Qing'er's dowry, I heard my mother say it before, although it is not as huge as millions as rumored by the outside world, but it is worth one or two million."

"Oh, yes, so your master's mansion is very solid." Prince Rong's words were just a joke.

"Rokuro also suspects Daddy of embezzling disaster relief funds?" Wan Ying could hear that there was something strange in his tone.

"How so? The disaster relief funds of the imperial court have the route of the project charter, and they will not be allocated directly to the teacher, is Qing'er right? ”

"The prince knew, so Wanying didn't explain anymore." Because the matter involves the teacher, Wanying's words are a little high-pitched.

Qing'er misunderstood, and Liulang didn't mean it. Rokuro felt that Master Shi was quite fond of Qing'er. ”

Wanying shook her head and said gently: "I know that Liulang has no malicious intentions, I just feel uncomfortable when I hear them say that about Daddy." ”

"I can see that you've been sullen all afternoon."

"Although my dowry is one or two million, this is definitely not a disaster relief fund for embezzling the imperial court."

Prince Rong smiled heartily and said, "Your husband and I are the prince of the imperial court, of course, this is the clearest. ”

Wanying continued: "What Qing'er wants to say is that my dowry is neither my father's embezzlement of disaster relief funds, nor is it the corruption and bribery of my own pockets in the past few years. ”

"I have known about the teachers since I was a child, and when the Yellow River was flooded, the two teachers donated thousands of acres of fertile land on the banks of the Yellow River for flood discharge. This public and selfless is commendable, and the Manchu Dynasty does not have such a mind. ”

Wanying's heart was turbulent, and she nodded, resolutely supporting Prince Rong's statement, "Half of these dowries are the dowries of Grandmother Qing'er when she got married. ”

"Old Taijun Song is the sister-in-law of the Shun Palace, and it is normal to have such a dowry."

"There are also some of them that are Wanying's mother's self-esteem over the years."

"Qing'er doesn't need to say any more, Liulang just lost his words, and Liulang knows that Master Shi is doing everything for the sake of royal face."

"This matter, Qing'er is wronged for her father, and I want to make it clear today."

"I understand, Rokuro understands. It's they who talk nonsense. ”

"Although my father didn't say it, Qing'er guessed: My father knows that the military power is not as high as that of Wu'an Hou, and the official position is even lower than it, if I lose to the Feng Mansion in the bride price, how can I, the princess of the main family, gain a foothold in the palace?"

"Even if these Qing'er don't say it, Liulang is clear in his heart."

"Liulang knows these superficial things, and Liulang knows that for my dowry, several aunts in the family even forced their father to die, but my father is still unmoved for me." Speaking of this, Wanying was already in tears and choked up.

Prince Rong was silent, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, although he was a prince, but the loving fatherly affection of ordinary people was so distant and strange to him. Since ancient times, Mingjun has never doted on his most important children. What's more, Mrs. Baohua was favored by Madame Baohua back then, and the emperor loved the current emperor very much for a long time. After Mrs. Baohua was buried in advance, the first emperor issued an edict and named the seventh brother as the crown prince.

Prince Rong was not envious of the seventh brother being able to sit on the throne of the crown prince, he was a little envious of the first emperor's favor for the seventh brother. is like today's teacher, who pampers his daughter with all his might.

"Qing'er, there is a loving father, and Liulang is really envious."

"Liulang's heart, Qing'er understands, Liulang is a father, so he will be a loving father and compensate our children for everything he wants, okay?" Wan Ying said softly, taking his hand and gently placing it on her lower abdomen. "You touch him and make him remember Daddy.

Prince Rong gently placed his hand on Wanying's lower abdomen. The heart is full of joy and sorrow. Joy is needless to say, and sorrow is about the difference that is imminent.

"To get back to the point, Qing'er told the prince this today, so that the prince would sell Wanying's dowry and discount it into silver taels to help those refugees trapped in the capital return home."

"How can this be, no!"

"Liulang, Wanying feels sorry for her father being blamed, but marriage is a matter for the two of us, and Liulang also saw it today, that Gao Sheng also said that we were so extravagant and wasteful in our wedding, is it too extravagant?"

"Now that there are internal and external troubles, I am the prince of Zhengyipin, our wedding is already simple, Qing'er doesn't have to think too much, don't care about those gossips, take care of the child in your belly."

"Qing'er doesn't want them to slander their father, and they don't want them to slander Liulang."

Prince Rong was very happy in his heart, originally thought that Wanying was just worried about the teacher, but he didn't expect that she was more worried about being slandered by others. "Rokuro doesn't care about these gossips."

"People are terrible, so why bother to let them belittle us like this?"

Prince Rong held Wanying's forehead and said, "Little fool, they want to belittle us, even if we sell the dowry, they will still say it!" ”

"Qing'er is like gagging their mouths."

"Since it's slander, it can't be blocked. It's like when there is a flood, you fill the gap with sand, and it's useless. ”

"It's a little bit to be able to block a little."

Prince Rong shook his head and said firmly: "Now it's just a message, if Qing'er really sells the dowry, it will confirm the corruption of the master, and also confirm the extravagance of our wedding!" ”

Wanying thought about this as well, so she didn't continue.

"In fact, the emperor has always taken out his own body from Ouchi to help the victims, but the movement of the palace's money has always been taken care of by many parties, so the emperor has a lot of inconvenience. Qing'er's dowry Liulang will not be sold, and Liulang still has some savings of his own, so he will take it out. ”

"How many victims are there in the capital?"

"About thirty or fifty thousand."

"According to 50,000 yuan, from the capital to their hometown, each person will be entangled with two taels of silver, which is 100,000, plus the autumn grain, one tael per person, a total of 150,000 taels. Qing'er doesn't understand that it's just a matter of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars? ”

The latter words were naturally not spoken. But how can Prince Rong, who is as smart as Rong, not know?

Prince Rong knew in his heart that the ideas and algorithms of the imperial court were absolutely different from Wanying: the emperor and the queen mother also had a dispute about the disaster victims, and the emperor hoped to allocate money from the treasury to fund the return of these disaster victims, and then transport grain to the local area to help them regenerate after the disaster. But the Queen Mother insisted that the estimated amount was only two or three hundred thousand taels, and after layers of exploitation, it really fell into the hands of the victims, and it was difficult to say whether it could be left! Even if one million taels are allocated, one tael may not fall into the hands of the victims.

Moreover, the Queen Mother insisted that now there is a plague among the refugees, stay in the capital, and over time, the plague will definitely be driven away, if all these victims are blasted out of the capital, the plague will be scattered at that time, and if you want to control it at that time, I am afraid that you will not be able to control it.

And these are all trivial matters, refugees are just an itch of flesh after all, and the rebellion of the king of Dong'an County is the trouble of his henchmen.

The two talked until the second watch, and Wanying gradually fell asleep.

Before entering the mountain on the second day, Prince Rong stopped in front of the Longmen Post Station for a long time, looking at the magnificent post station, Prince Rong's brows furrowed into a mountain.

On the two magnificent gatehouses, there is a wooden arch overpass, and the bridge body of the overpass is written with three gilded characters of "Longmen Station".

Wanying sat in the carriage and felt that the carriage stopped. Sideways lifting the car curtain, the golden light of the summer heat before the afternoon shone into Wanying's pupils, squinting, just caught a glimpse of an ochre red flag hanging under the eaves of the gatehouse, a huge 'post' word came into view. Looking inside, there are many houses, and there are many doors.

The curtain was lowered and the carriage was just moving. I ran for more than a dozen miles.

There is a tea shed before entering the mountain, Prince Rong helped Wanying down to move her legs and feet, Wanying was really afraid of the tea shed and gossip, even if she got out of the car, she still only walked around the carriage, and resolutely did not approach the tea shed for half a step.

"Guest officers, the freshly fried barley tea is refreshing and refreshing, and it has been poured with well water for a long time, it is so cool that it is the most heat-dissipating, come in and drink a few bowls before you go."

Wan Ying pouted and shook her head. Prince Rong knew that Wanying didn't want to go over.

Seeing that a group of people did not react, the tea boss continued to shout: "After this village, there will be no more shops like me." If you want to drink my good tea after entering the mountain, you can only wait to go down the mountain! ”

Prince Rong said to the accompanying guards, "Go and quench your thirst with a few bowls." ”

The leader of the guards said, "The master is not thirsty, and neither are we." ”

"Tea boss, one person makes a bowl of iced tea, and one person makes a roast cake with meat."

The tea boss only wanted a bowl of iced tea for a big buckle, but he didn't expect to solicit more than 20 meat buns, happily beckoning the guards to drink tea, and happily cutting meat sandwiches and baked cakes.

Wanying stood on the side of the road, wearing a veil and walking around for a long time. Waiting for everyone to finish drinking tea and eating baked cakes. The group set off towards Huichang Mountain.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the nine plates and eighteen bends of Huichang Mountain make Wanying's heart palpitate, but this time with Prince Rong with her, although the mountain road is difficult, it has lost the fear of the past. On the contrary, the mountains are full of green trees, birds and flowers, but Ling Wanying is in a much happier mood. Lifting the curtain, he said, "In the past, I was always afraid to die when I walked on this mountain road, but this time it is very different?" ”

"A few years ago, more than a dozen senior officials of the DPRK and China raised funds to build a road into the mountain."

Wanying poked her head out and saw that it was indeed much more spacious than ten years ago. A bending treacherous site was also fitted with a wooden fence.

"It's really different from before."

"Further ahead is your family's former villa, and I'll call you when I get there."

The carriage traveled for about a quarter of an hour, and came to a halt, and before Prince Rong could speak, Wanying lifted the curtain herself. The former villa is overgrown with grass. Newly grown vines crush the barren desolation that dried up last year. The steps had long been invisible, and were densely covered with unnamed weeds.

Looking at the vermilion gate in the past, it is now also mottled with paint. The brass bracelet on one of the doors also fell, perhaps lost among the half-human-tall grass.

"This villa has been built for nearly 40 years, and the first 30 years seem to have never changed, and this is what it has become in the past ten years." Yun Niang muttered.

Wanying said: "I've seen it, let's go!" ”

Prince Rong smiled sweetly and said, "In a few days, I will send someone to clean it up, and you can come and take a stroll when you are idle." ”

The rugged mountain road went around for a whole day, and I saw the eaves of the palace at dusk, and when I settled down in the palace, Wanying was already tired and sleepy, and before Prince Rong returned to the house, she slept on the couch. The fragrance in the goose pear tent holds the cool air contained in the iceberg, stirring the mountain breeze that grabs the window, and the room is cool.
