Chapter Eighty-Six: Calculations

Jin Ming's body trembled, looked at his master, and whispered: "In previous years, the affairs of resettlement in the capital were all handled by Prince Rong, and since last winter, this work has been handed over to Prince Lie. At that time, the lord was working for the emperor in the northwest and did not come back for almost a winter. I heard that dozens of people froze to death last winter, but the news disappeared quietly, and no one knows. The emperor also praised Prince Lie for doing a good job. This year, naturally, it was handed over to him. ”

Jin Feng raised his brows and frowned, and said, "I see." So, last year, not only in the capital, but also in the local area, a series of disaster prevention and frost prevention measures were managed by Prince Lie? ”

Jin Ming nodded hurriedly: "Isn't it?" It was all in the hands of Prince Lie, fortunately, it was not very cold last winter, and I heard that there were no people who froze to death in various places. This means that our prince doesn't care about these, otherwise he would have complained in front of the little marquis a long time ago. ”

"Confused, what can you say?" Jin Feng glanced at him, then looked at his son and daughter, and said with a smile: "Good, go to Yu Niang and the rain step room to play, Daddy wants to talk to your mother here, can you remember Daddy's instructions?" ”

"Remember, Daddy said, I can't say anything in front of anyone today." Jin Zangjiao immediately raised her hand to answer, Jin Fengju touched her little head, and smiled: "Really good, that's it, if you brothers and sisters say it and let people know, Daddy will never come to Wanfeng Xuan in the future, understand?" ”

Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zang Jiaoji nodded like pecking rice, held hands and ran out. Fu Qiuning sighed, looked at Jin Fengju with disgust and said, "The two children are still young, you know that what they are most afraid of is that you don't come to Wanfeng Xuan again." Why scare them like this? ”

"The stakes are high, and I have no choice but to know that this is the only thing that can scare them." After Jin Fengju finished speaking lightly, he got off the kang, put on his boots and paced a few steps in the house. Suddenly stood still, looked at Fu Qiuning and said, "Paper can't hold the fire, Prince Lie is relying on the Holy Family." If you don't take this hundred and ten lives in your eyes, if he continues to do this kind of mischief, he will one day cause a big mess. provoked Long Yan to be angry. At that point, we'll just sit back and enjoy it, don't you think? ”

Fu Qiuning looked at his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "Master can't bear to pity those innocent lives?" ”

Jin Feng raised his lips with a wry smile, patted her shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Only you can say this." Only you know my mind. Tyuin, would you like to take advantage of it for me? ”

"What does the little marquis mean, let the concubine go back to her parents' house?" Fu Qiuning asked lightly. While coming to the edge of the kang and sitting down, he smiled and seemed to say to himself, "It's a little cold." It's still warm on the kang. ”

Jin Feng raised his brows and frowned tightly, for a long time, Fang Chang sighed, waved his hand, and said: "That's it, I may not be able to think of another way, it's freezing this day, and the snow road is difficult, why let you go this way." ”

Fu Qiuning sat on the edge of the kang and looked at him quietly, never knowing that this man would look like this when he was worried about the country and the people, with some contemplation and distress and melancholy, becoming more and more handsome and tempting. watched him pacing back and forth on the ground, getting more and more anxious, and finally he sighed and said to Jin Ming: "You go to the study and get my fold." ”

"Well, isn't it just a trip back to my parents' house? I'll just go back, and I will take it as a thank you gift for the little marquis who promised to come out for me today. Fu Qiuning stood up suddenly, she had to admit: At least, at this moment, this man with the world in his heart made her cold and hard heart move a little, it had nothing to do with love, but she found that he was not as ruthless as she imagined, and he was hopelessly scum. At least he still has a benevolent heart for the people and the world, and even sacrifices his own interests for this.

Jin Fengju raised his head in surprise, and suddenly smiled: "Why did you agree again?" Or do you still hate the question I just made to you, and you have to wait to see me embarrassed until this time before you agree to help me out of the siege? Do you still have me in your heart? ”

"Master, please be careful." Fu Qiuning glanced at him, meaning that I don't have you in my heart, don't be sentimental. Then he spoke: "The master has the world in his heart, so he doesn't allow his concubine to have mercy on the common people?" What you are doing today is just a hope for the common people to survive. It's just that it will inevitably affect some people, and I'm really ashamed. However, I know very well why I have become helpless, and why I am now able to settle down. ”

Jin Feng's eyes lit up, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's good if you understand." Tyuning, you ...... It's really a strange woman. It's a pity that you are not in the harem, otherwise this means is bold, and taking charge of the harem is just around the corner. If you have a little kindness in your heart, it is a blessing for the harem. ”

"Little Hou Ye said carefully."

Fu Qiuning thought to herself, you gave me less come, I was unlucky enough in this Hou Mansion, and I still entered the harem? Do you think I'm Zhen Huan? Even if it is Zhen Huan, can't her life be called unlucky? Abandon my father and grandfather today to help you. But because they pushed me through this door without regard for my life or death, then why should I have their interests at heart? I am not the Virgin Mary. What's more, it's not my father and grandfather, and besides, I still have to rely on you to keep me safe, so why let your saints decay for such a thing? People always have to plan for their own lives, don't they? If Prince Rong ascends the throne in the future, with a capable minister like you who cares about the world, it can be regarded as seeking a benefit for the people.

Thinking of this, he said softly: "It's just that the master should wait patiently for a few more days, the so-called big things are not informal, although you regret it in your heart, these days are bound to endure, otherwise, with a person's life, how can you knock down the arrogance of Prince Lie?" As she spoke, she turned to look out of the dark window and muttered, "This snow is very big, but I am afraid that on a sunny day, I don't know how many lives will be buried in the cold snow." However, it is worth it to exchange today's pain for long-term peace. ”

"I understand what you say." Jin Fengju nodded, and said in a deep voice: "As you said, for the sake of longevity, this sacrifice is necessary. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he smiled: "Okay, go to sleep, I promise to stand up for you and knock the mountain and shock the tiger for you, and I will never break my word." This time, let you raise your eyebrows well, and when the time comes, I don't think we need to think about any more reasons, your father should miss his daughter himself. ”

Fu Qiuning was stunned at first, then thought about it, and said with a slight smile: "Even so, the concubine body must act at the opportunity, and fulfill the master's wish." ”

Jin Feng nodded and smiled, then turned around and asked Jin Ming, "How is it?" Have you done everything you were told to do in the afternoon? Can you find the source? ”

Jin Ming said: "The source is still vague, but it is ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Qiu Ning, Jin Feng raised his hand and said, "It's okay, you say." But I heard Jin Ming say: "Yes, back to the little marquis, the slave has already found out, and these things in grandma's hands are all ...... It was sold through Zhang's mother's son at the back door. The minions didn't dare to startle the snakes, so they came to ask the master to show them. ”

Fu Qiuning didn't wait for Jin Fengju to speak, so he hurriedly said: "Master, that mother Zhang is an honest person, and her son can't see that our mother and son are helpless, and if they don't sell things, they won't be able to live, so they selfishly helped out some ......" Without waiting to finish speaking, he saw Jin Fengju raise his hand and pressed it, signaling her to be calm and calm, and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand, I know what to do about this matter, rest assured, I can't smash their mother and son's jobs." ”

Fu Qiuning breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Jin Fengju sitting there, as if she was faintly contemplative, she couldn't help nodding secretly in her heart, thinking that she would put aside the grievances of the past, this bastard still has a little human touch.

*******************************

It snowed heavily all night, and when it was not dawn, Jin Fengju got up, and wanted to wash his face quietly and ask Jin Ming to help him comb his hair. Unexpectedly, Fu Qiuning had already gotten up, and the two were meeting under the corridor, and they couldn't help but be stunned, Jin Fengju saw Fu Qiuning holding a pot of hot water in his hand, so he said: "In such weather, why do you get up so early?" ”

Fu Qiuning was busy with his blessing body, and said with a smile: "The concubine body is used to it, and she gets up like this every day, just looking at the time, and it doesn't distinguish between spring, autumn, winter and summer." It's just that why did you get up so early? Although the snow has stopped outside, the wind is still not small, blowing people's faces painfully, and the snowflakes are hitting people, what is the matter with this weather, it doesn't have to be so early, right? ”

"What you said is true, but there is one thing in this world, but it can't be delayed." Jin Fengju said as he went back to his room, Fu Qiuning followed behind him, and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be ...... Going to court? ”

"Naturally, this is the case, and besides that, who can let me get up early in the morning." As he spoke, he saw that Fu Qiuning had poured hot water in the copper basin, so he walked over to wash his face, and dried it with a square towel, but he heard Fu Qiuning mutter: "Then what if the emperor doesn't go to court?" Didn't it make you wake up early in vain? ”

"That's not just getting up early in vain, and only dispersing, and I don't dare to show that I am full of complaints. Yesterday, no one came to inform him that he would not go to the court, so he had to go today, and if the emperor was not on it temporarily, he would come back again. Jin Fengju wiped his hands with a square towel and said to Fu Qiuning.

"Isn't that a bit of a joke?" Fu Qiuning's modern advanced thinking came to the fore, and he was very upset for Jin Fengju in his heart.

"The Lu of the Eater, with this glory and wealth, it is also appropriate to pay the price of such an idea." Jin Fengju smiled and put the square scarf on the basin stand, sat down in the chair and said: "Don't you see those village farmers, who face the loess with their backs to the sky every day, just being able to support their families, but they are a hundred times harder than us?" Jin Ming probably just crawled out of the quilt at this time, you can help me comb my hair, just pull it in a bun. (To be continued)
