Chapter 174: I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile

"A large part of the money he was greedy for was given to him? Right? ”

"Yes, but he is not too greedy, it is better to have your uncle to look at him, like other places, the county order is greedy, the prefect is greedy, and many people are miserable."

"Hmph, a group of moths, the emperor is high, he can't see these, and he also bless his son, such a court will be yellow sooner or later."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, let's just know it in our hearts, otherwise why doesn't Zong Sheng want to go back to Beijing, just stay here, our Wang family doesn't want to be blessed and expensive, just a safe family."

"What if the Lord takes revenge on you?"

"They don't dare, we have their handle in our hands, if he dares to do it because we didn't give us the silver, then we are not easy to provoke, and we will all end up together."

"Hehe, I think so too, I'd rather be broken than broken."

"Look at this heavy snowfall, I'm afraid there will be disasters this year."

"Well, I will prepare in advance, the foundation of our house is very high, and the foundation of the house is very deep, just to deal with floods and earthquakes, the ring beams are very strong, unless there is a disaster that destroys the world, it cannot be destroyed at all."

"I'll just say, why did you spend so much money to build a house."

"You and your husband live in peace in my house, you don't have to go anywhere, if my house is unreliable, the Acropolis will be even worse."

"Don't worry, grandmother won't go anywhere, just enjoy your happiness."

The days passed, and the descendants of the Qiao family rested for a whole month, and they all gained weight.

The snow in the field has not moved at all, and there is not even a sign of melting, and it will be almost February, and the people are really sad to death.

If the seeds are all frozen to death, then they can only be sown again after turning over the ground, and it is estimated that only one season of grain will be planted this year.

After Wang Zongsheng learned of the disaster, he immediately went to the fold and asked the imperial court to reduce or exempt the grain tax of the people in the Acropolis territory.

However, there has been no response to the excerpt reported for a long time, Wang Zongsheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and it happened that good news came from the palace in the capital at this time.

said that Ru'er was pregnant, and it had been a month and a half.

I just want to eat sweet and sour fruits, and I can't buy them in the capital this season, so let Mrs. Wang ask Mrs. Qiao to see if you can get them.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about the cold, so she took Zihan to Jixiangyuan.

As soon as she told her parents-in-law the good news, they couldn't keep their mouths shut happily.

"It's only been so long that I'm pregnant, it's so joyful."

Qiao Mai pursed her mouth after reading Ru'er's letter to her, "I thought of me when I wanted to eat, we came back for so long, and I didn't know a letter." ”

"It's not like it's snowing all the time, so don't be like her."

"Okay, I just happened to get the mirror, so I'll give her a trip myself."

"Did you give Zihan any medicine last time?"

"I'll give it to you in a moment."

Mrs. Wang then took out a letter and a fold from her arms, "Your uncle wants to reduce the grain tax for the people of the Acropolis, but there has been no response to the fold handed over, and eighty percent of it has been detained. ”

Qiao Mai nodded, and took the letter and fold into his arms.

"It's not too late, I'll go and prepare, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning to find a sour fruit for her in the south."

"Zihan and I will stay with you for one night, shall we go together tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, I'll give you a ride."

Mrs. Wang has never seen Qiao Mai's kung fu, but she knows that Qiao Niangzi knows martial arts, and the world is getting more and more chaotic, and it is okay for multiple people to send it.

Presumably, the prefect of the Wang Mansion asked his wife to come over, which also meant this, and he felt that whoever sent the excerpt was not as suitable as Mrs. Qiao.

was guessed correctly by this old fox, as soon as he heard that Ru'er was pregnant and was going to eat sour, Qiao Mai would definitely offer to send it in person, so this letter and excerpt would definitely be in Ru'er's hands.

On the same day, she arranged the affairs of the family.

The next day, the winter date was released from the space, and this time it seemed to grow taller and stronger again.

The hair on his body is thick and thick, which can completely withstand the cold of the north.

Equipped the winter jujube with a saddle and led it to the front yard, the old lady let Zihan take away the boxes of things that Qiao Mai gave her years ago.

This time, Zihan didn't hug Qiao Mai and cry, didn't play tricks and didn't want to leave, and became well-behaved and sensible.

Both the old lady and Mrs. Wang wrote letters, and Toqiaomai brought them to Ru'er.

Qiao Mai put the letter in her arms and turned on the horse, and she followed the carriage and left Tianshui Town.

Along the way, Mrs. Wang talked to Qiao Mai in front of the car window for a while, all of which were told to her, and Qiao Mai kept nodding and agreeing.

Finally arrived at the palace, no longer listened to Mrs. Wang's recitation, hurriedly said goodbye, rode his horse and whipped, and ran out of the south gate in the direction of the capital.

Along the way, she met the victims who fled to the south, and she didn't have time to buy food and help, so as long as she met a family, she would throw away 20 taels of silver and let them fend for themselves.

is also because of being this rich lady, she did not arrive in the capital so quickly.

With the footsteps of winter dates, this journey only took three days, but she helped the people along the road, and only arrived at the north gate of the capital on the sixth day.

The weather in the south is also very cold, this year's rain is heavy, and the temperature is generally lower than in previous years in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

She moved the carriage out of the space and set up the winter dates.

Two baskets of orange and yellow sour apricots, two baskets of bayberry, two baskets of plums, and some common fruits have been prepared in the car.

Neither size nor freshness are comparable on the market.

There are also two dressing mirrors and six vanity mirrors.

After checking it and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he drove the carriage into the capital.

When she came to the outside of Prince Shun's mansion, she saw the guards standing on both sides, and she threw her hand at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the righteous sister of your princess, and I came from the Acropolis with a letter from her family."

"Is there a token?"

"No, but when the princess got married, it was my night's vigil, and your housekeeper should know me."

"Wait a minute!"

A guard ran in, and not long after the butler came out, as soon as he saw Qiao Mai, he immediately greeted him, and gave Qiao Mai a salute.

"Madame, I'm greeting you."

"I heard that my sister is pregnant, no, she wants to eat sour, so I sent it to her."

"You're in a hurry, please here, please here!"

The housekeeper personally opened the side door, and Qiao Mai drove the carriage into the palace and came directly to the Bauhinia Garden where Ru'er lived.

At this time, the little prince was accompanying her, and the harm was so bad that she had hardly eaten since yesterday.

Qiao Mai sat in the car and yelled inside.

"Ru'er, my sister has come to see you!"

As soon as Jiaru heard this voice, she jumped up happily, and the little prince was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed her.

"You can't run, be careful!"

"I know, I know, let's go, my sister is here, I have something delicious."

One walked and one dragged, like two happy enemies came to the gate of the courtyard, and Qiao Mai saw Jiaru who had lost a lot of weight.

"Ah, how did this happen?"

"Can't eat!"

"Quick, let people unload the car, it's all sweet and sour fruits, I guarantee you love to eat them."

"Sister, get out of the car and let them come."

Jiaru took her hand, Qiao Mai smiled and jumped out of the car, "The mirror is inside, you have to be careful to handle it gently." ”

"Ah, you brought me a mirror?"

"I got it a few years ago, didn't we have a blizzard all the time, and we couldn't come and deliver it to you."

The two sisters entered the living room hand in hand, ignoring the little prince as a transparent person, and he followed the two of them sadly.

The girls were busy with tea, "Hungry, aren't you?" I'm going to let people pass the food! ”

Qiao Mai was not polite, drinking tea and watching the people move things into the living room.

Jiaru looked at the fruits with her eyes blank and couldn't stop swallowing.

"Wow, it's so fresh, there's frost on it, just picked it off?"

"Well, if you want to eat it, you can get it, you don't need to wash it, it's all clean."
