Qingbi saw Lin Yanyun and reminded in a low voice: "Lady, Miss Lin is here." ”

An Qien glanced to the side, Lin Yanyun happened to look over, she walked over with a tall look, followed by the humble Xi'er.

"Why are you here?" Lin Yanyun asked angrily.

She is not afraid of An Qien, what if An Shi'an comes, she has confidence!

An Qien looked at her lightly, this kind of stupid and delicate daughter, she felt that she was wasting her strength if she said a word.

An Qien didn't intend to ignore her, and took a cold step to leave, but Lin Yanyun stood in front of her domineeringly, and asked aggressively: "An Niangzi is so arrogant now?" Relying on a dog-legged brother who has no one in his eyes? ”

An Qien's eyes were tough and sharp, and he said unhurriedly: "Doglegs? Miss Lin means that the prince is a dog? Is my brother stammering a dog's leg? ”

Qingbi immediately said loudly: "How can Miss Lin say that the prince is a dog? The Lin family is really bold. ”

Lin Yanyun immediately panicked and retorted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, I didn't say it at all, you don't have to be reasonable!" ”

Xi'er was afraid that her master would cause trouble again, so she reminded in a trembling whisper: "Miss, let's go back." ”

Lin Yanyun glared angrily, An Qien flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.

"My brother is indeed a celebrity around the prince, unlike Miss Lin's brother who can only take concubines for fun, neither can run a business, nor can he go through a career, Miss Lin's brother must not even have the ability to tie people."

Lin Yanyun didn't take two steps before An Qien's mockery came from behind him!

An Qien didn't want to pay attention to her, but she actually insulted her brother, so she had to return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

Lin Yanyun glared at An Qien angrily, and An Qien's calm eyes made her even more annoyed.

She snorted and stamped away......

As soon as she returned to the Lin Mansion, the maids saw that she was angry, and they didn't dare to come out.

Seeing that his daughter was so angry, Zhu hurriedly asked, "Didn't you send silver to the prince?" The prince doesn't accept it? ”

Lin Yanyun's face turned white and red for a while: "The prince was not there in the first place!" It's that slut there, why is she in charge there, the prince actually handed over such an important matter to her to take care of! Why! ”

The Zhu family was not happy when he heard this, but when he thought that the prince was busy building the canal, An Qien was An Shi'an's sister, and it was understandable that he handed over the affairs of the bereaved children's home to An Qien for this reason.

But this kind of thing is generally handed over to men to take care of, and the prince is handed over to An Qien, which will obviously make everyone feel ambiguous.

Zhu could only comfort his daughter and said: "The prince is just looking at her brother's face, you can't care about small things, and you can't hold back your anger and speak quickly, grab her handle, and let her lose face in front of the prince, which is more useful than you scolding her a hundred words." ”

Lin Yanyun thinks it makes sense, but it's so easy to grasp!

She said sullenly: "This slut is dangling in front of the prince at every turn, can I not care!" ”

Zhu sighed helplessly, if her stupid daughter had half of her means, she would not be bullied like this by An Qien!

She taught again: "The prince is not there, you just turn around and come back, or go to the place where the canal is built, the prince is always in these two places, what's the use of saying all that bunch of words!" Learn to talk less and do ruthless things. ”

Lin Yanyun was a little angry, thinking that what her mother said was reasonable, and her mother could kill her father's concubines, which showed that her mother's methods were powerful!

The Zhu family asked Lin Yanyun to go to the place where the canal was built to find the prince, and personally donated to King Xian, so as to show Lin Yanyun's kindness.

Lin Yanyun listened to the persuasion and went again in the afternoon.

When she went to the place where the canal was built, there was dirty mud everywhere, and the craftsmen were working.

A lot of things have to be explained clearly when he first started, and he won't be so busy in the follow-up after the beginning is done.

Lin Yanyun saw Lu Bochu coming over with great joy in his heart.

"Blessed is the king." She bent her knees.

Lu Bochu calmly asked with some questions: "What's the matter with Miss Lin?" ”

Lin Yanyun looked virtuous and virtuous, she took out a thousand taels of silver from her cuffs, offered her hands and said softly: "Lord, this is the silver taels that the courtiers sold their jewelry, I heard that the prince is building a children's home, these silver are not much, and the courtiers also want to do a little bit for the children." ”

Lu Bochu's face did not change and said: "It is a good thing to have a good heart, the matter of the bereaved children's house has been temporarily handed over to An Niangzi to manage, you can give this silver to An Niangzi." ”

Lin Yanyun said gently: "Yes, the courtiers will hand it over to Mrs. An, and I also hope that the children's home will be built as soon as possible so that those displaced children can live a good life." ”

Lu Bochu: "This king thanked Miss Lin for her kindness for those children." ”

"The prince praised it falsely, and Yanyun was also very happy to help people in need."

She paused and said, "Yanyun will not bother the prince and retreat in advance." ”

When the words fell, she bent her knees and bowed her body, and when she retreated, she quietly glanced at An Shi'an, who was standing next to Lu Bochu.

What she didn't think was that the An family was really lucky, no matter how long they were, she thought that An Shi'an was like her brother with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but she didn't expect that the head of the family was Yushu Linfeng with a decent face.

After Lin Yanyun retreated, An Shi'an glanced at her back and said meaningfully: "This Lin girl looks kind-hearted and quite knowledgeable, why can't she get along with Qi'en?" ”

Lu Bochu looked at An Shi'an with a slight pick, presumably An Qien told An Shi'an everything he encountered, he thought she was a person who was stuffy in his heart, but he didn't expect that she was also a person who would sue his brother.

He asked tentatively, "What else did she tell you?" ”

Lu Bochu thought that since she had told Lin Yanyun about it, she would definitely talk about the overboard, and when it came to the overboard, she would naturally say that he saved her, or the kind of wet hugging.

"It's nothing, just say that this Miss Lin family doesn't seem to have a normal brain, and she always likes to get along with her, but she doesn't take Miss Lin family in her eyes at all."

Lu Bochu's expectant eyes dimmed: "That's it?" ”

An Shi'an nodded: "Yes." ”

He felt that Lu Bochu's expression was wrong, and asked, "Could it be that this Miss Lin has done something more excessive?" ”

Lu Bochu wanted to say that he hugged An Qien, but the occasion was not right, and he was afraid that people would hear that it would have a bad reputation for An Qien, so he couldn't help but reply in a deep voice: "It's nothing, this king thought she would tell you something else." ”

An Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

.......

The next day, the recruitment announcement was posted all over the streets and alleys, and interested parties could go to the reception to sign up, and the place where everything was posted was full of people.

They all discussed: "Women work for four taels of silver a month, which is a lot, usually only two taels of silver, and male workers are seven taels of silver a month, if a family husband and wife go a month is eleven taels of silver, mom is a lot of money this year." ”

"That's right, I'm willing to go, as long as I have money to earn, I'm not afraid of hardship."

"Even if you are poor, you are not afraid, what are you afraid of!"

"Although it is not good for women to show their faces, this is the court for the benefit of the people, I think there is nothing to make money, but also to help the court share."

Everyone, you say a word, someone will sign up on the spot, and as soon as someone signs up, a steady stream of people will sign up.

The number of people who signed up far exceeded the number needed, and eventually they had to be screened.

In the first two years of the imperial court's conquest of the frontier, most of the men in Jingyang fought on the battlefield, resulting in most of the women in Jingyang being women, children and the elderly, and there were very few laborers, so there were not enough men, so they could only recruit women and even prisoners.

After Lu Bochu learned that the number of people was far greater than the number needed, he could only sift through them and choose young and strong women.

Those who are a little older, or who look weak, will naturally have no chance to work.

The woman who was brushed down finally found hope in life, but was beaten back to her original shape! Many women couldn't accept this result, so they ran to the Xianwang Mansion to kneel down and beg the prince to open the net, and they would definitely sell their best strength to work.

Some women said that they had children and sick mothers-in-law at home, and they relied on the little land at home to eat the last meal.

Some women say that their family has always eaten wild vegetables, and they have long forgotten what the taste of rice is.

There was a wail in front of King Xian's mansion, and more and more women came to cry and beg.

Ah Gui told Lu Bochu, who was reading in the main study, Lu Bochu frowned when he heard this, the people of Jingyang were in dire straits, and the gap between the rich and the poor was huge, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

When he went to the gate in person, he saw the women kneeling in rows and crying bitterly, he had mixed feelings!

When the women saw King Xian come out, they cried louder, not because they were miserable, but because they were the truth.

Lu Boyan said loudly and gently: "You can rest assured, the days will be better, at present, there are only so many manpower, the imperial court has recruited troops in the past two years, and there are natural disasters that are either floods or droughts, and the people are not having a good time, Your Majesty and this king have put the people of Jingyang in their hearts, and the family is really difficult, this king will set up a porridge shed, and will definitely report this matter to Your Majesty, if the treasury has enough food, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to transport grain." ”

When everyone heard this, they kowtowed and thanked each other, like seeing the weather that was about to rain after a long drought, and everyone hoped that the imperial court would send relief food as soon as possible.....

When he returned to the study, Lu Bochu immediately wrote the matter in a letter, and asked him to send it to Shangjing quickly.

An Qien also saw this scene not far away, the people were suffering, everyone was in danger, this Jingyang was not as stable as it seemed on the surface.

She originally wanted to find Lu Bochu to talk about the bereaved children's home, but it seemed that she could only find a chance next time.

Lin Yanyun also came, this time she was very calm, she did not provoke An Qien arrogantly, but walked in front of An Qien very politely.

She jumped out of her sleeve with a silver ticket, handed it to An Qien and said: "An Niangzi, this is a little bit of my heart that I donated to the bereaved children's home, I originally wanted to hand it over to the prince, since the relict children's home is now managed by An Niangzi, then I have to worry about An Niangzi." ”
