Lin Wensheng hurriedly said: "The ninth master has not been to those distant villages, and each family can live a year with a few taels of silver." This one hundred taels is not too much, and it is not too much to say less. ”

Huo Roufeng rolled her eyes, fortunately, in Wanhua Temple yesterday, she didn't mention the Huo family's donation of silver in public, otherwise those scholarly families wouldn't hate her to death?

The Huo family wants to donate silver, but there are no thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels, where can they get it?

She asked Lin Wensheng: "Have you seen Yang Gongzi's people?" ”

Lin Wensheng said: "It's strange to say, I thought that Yang Gongzi would send people there even if he didn't go, but I didn't see any of them in the county office." ”

Huo Roufeng remembered the scene in Wanhua Temple yesterday, and asked Lin Wensheng with a smile: "You have been in Wuxi for many years, do you believe that there is an iron mine in Wuxi?" ”

Today, Lin Wensheng also heard people talk about iron ore in the county office, and he shook his head: "I have never heard anyone talk about it, and I don't believe it very much." ”

Huo Roufeng threw the melon seeds in his hand back into the agate plate, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, the master doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe it at all." ”

Not only did she not believe it, but she also felt that Zhanhuai would not believe it either.

If there is an iron mine near Wuxi, I am afraid that it will not be the turn of the Zhao family and the Miao family, and their Zhan family will be the first to send someone to open a private mine.

The Miao family is connected to the Xu family, and most of their children are serving in the twelve guards in the capital, and their every move will be eye-catching.

The Zhao family is a relative, although the Empress Dowager Zhao has been in charge of the government for many years, but the iron ore is not as good as other ores, even if the Zhao family opens an iron ore, you must have the ability to sell it.

But the Zhanjia is different, they want to build warships and raise private soldiers, iron ore is indispensable, and they live in a corner, and only the Zhanjia has such courage and strength.

Whether there is an iron mine in Wuxi, the Zhan family has long known it.

Zhan Huai insisted that there was iron ore in Wuxi, obviously looking for iron ore was not his original intention, but had another purpose.

The next day, Zhang Shengping returned from Wanhua Temple.

"Ninth master, I inquired clearly, the nunnery was built ten years ago, it is said that the officials in the capital are here to repair, the people under the mountain often see an old woman to buy needlework and cloth in the market, and have seen the monks of Wanhua Temple send rice and vegetables. During the Lantern Festival, someone saw the old woman and a maid, accompanying a young girl to see the lanterns, and they had only seen it once for so many years. ”

The little girl that the people are talking about should be the girl who is like a weak willow blowing in the wind.

Huo Roufeng was a little depressed, and the song "Poppy Beauty" by the Jade Flute Gongzi was blown for her.

By the way, the old man had to give something to the woman before, but the woman didn't accept it, and then the jade flute boy went, but he didn't see each other, hiding in the bamboo forest, watching the woman go away.

Huo Roufeng looked up and sighed, isn't this what the ancient poem said about seeing each other as if you don't see each other, and being affectionate or ruthless?

This nunnery has existed for ten years, and the woman should be about the same age as herself, if she lived in the nunnery when it was first built, then she didn't grow up in the nunnery?

How did the Jade Flute Son, who had a relationship with the Taiping Society, know her?

Thinking about it like this, Huo Roufeng felt that her sigh was meaningless.

But this matter has nothing to do with her, she just needs to know that there is a woman who is raised in the nunnery behind Wanhua Temple.

She quickly forgot about it, because within a few days, something even bigger had happened.

Prince Rong, who is far away in Shaanxi, is reversed!

In fact, Prince Rong had an incident as early as half a month ago, but it didn't reach Wuxi until these days, Prince Rong is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the younger brother of today's son and mother.

He became a feudal lord at the age of nine and has never been recalled to the capital for more than ten years, even on the birthday of the Queen Mother, he was not allowed to return to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

As we all know, the Queen Mother favored the youngest King Qing, King Qing still stayed in the capital when he was a teenager and never became a vassal domain, and King Rong stayed away from the capital at the age of nine, obviously for the Queen Mother, she didn't love him very much, otherwise she wouldn't have let him return to Beijing for more than ten years.

Gradually, the people are about to forget that there is such a Prince Rong in Shaanxi.

But it was such an unobtrusive prince, but he suddenly raised troops.

Huo Roufeng listened to Zhang Shengping's report, and was silent, Zhang Shengping said again: "People outside are spreading that Emperor Taizu also raised troops in Shaanxi back then, and this Prince Rong is blessed by Taizu's dragon energy. ”

Hearing Zhang Shengping talk about Emperor Taizu, Huo Roufeng smiled coldly, the founding emperor of this dynasty did raise troops from Shaanxi, but what does that have to do with the so-called Emperor Taizu? He is just beautiful, gentle and considerate, so he has become his mother's guest of the scene.

He is not from Shaanxi, his mother is, her grandfather is Dingxi Hou Xie Zhen, her maternal grandmother is the lord of Mingshu who enjoys the prince's fortune, the Xie family has been fighting Tartar in Shaanxi for generations, and the royal family has intermarried with the Xie family in almost every generation in order to envelop the Xie family. Until Xie Zhen's generation, the emperor listened to slander and was worried that the Xie family would be the master, so he ordered Xie Zhen and his son to be summoned to Beijing, but they were killed in Cheng'en Tower in the Forbidden City with poisonous wine.

After the mother led the old department of the Xie family to rise up, which lasted for many years, and finally entered the capital, the emperor heard that the Xie family army had come in, and took the queen and several princes to self-immolate in Cheng'en Building.

The Cheng'en Building, which left the blood of the Xie family's boys, eventually became the burial place of the enemy.

At this moment, the little girl ran in: "Ninth Master, the eldest lady has a letter." ”

Huo Roufeng took the letter and unfolded it, and looked at it at a glance, Mrs. Huo said in the letter that she had received the news that King Rong had rebelled, and although Jiangnan would not be affected in the short term, her sister was not worried that she would stay in Wuxi, so she would leave for Hangzhou when she saw the letter.

Huo Roufeng walked around the room twice, she really didn't want to go back now, she still wanted to know what the hell Zhanhuai was doing.

She said to Zhang Shengping: "You go and prepare, I'm going to walk on the street." ”

Zhang Shengping's heart is also up and down, this dynasty has always been the wife of peace, except for the coastal area from time to time there are Japanese robbers, and there are Tartars in the west and north from time to time, there has been no rebellion, not to mention that this rebel is still the younger brother of today's son.

Fortunately, for a moment and a half, the war will not affect Jiangnan, and it is not impossible for Jiu Ye to want to walk on the street.

He called his two nephews and asked them to follow the ninth master to act cautiously, and he himself went to arrange the chariots and horses.

But before Huo Roufeng went out, Song Song and Song Shen came.

It turned out that when I heard that King Rong was reversed, Song Erye and Song Sanye were worried that she would be afraid, so they specially asked the Song brothers to accompany her in Zhuangzi.
