Tao Zhu was amused by his words: "You are also very powerful, relying only on yourself, it has only been a long time since you saved two thousand taels of silver." ”

"It's far from being able to buy the house I want."

Shen Hua sighed.

"However, speaking of the house, Sister-in-law Meng came to my house that day, please keep an eye on the house, Meng Yue paid off the money owed to my cousin, there is no foreign debt, Brother Meng's sister-in-law is ready to buy a house, even if it is a small courtyard, it is better than renting."

Meng Yue didn't follow Shangfeng out to drink, and he was finally able to save up every month's money.

Last month, Meng Yue paid off all the money she had borrowed from Xu Ying, including the silver taels she spent on living in Xu's house when she was rushing to take the exam a few years ago.

Although Xu Ying felt that there was no need to pay back those food and shelters, Meng Yue insisted on paying them back, and Xu Ying could only go with him.

After paying off the debt, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Meng family were very happy.

Meng Yue has 90 taels a month, and if he saves 60 taels a month, he can buy a small house in two years.

Therefore, Sister-in-law Meng deliberately found Shen Hua and asked Shen Hua to pay attention.

Their family can buy one or two entrances, anyway, Meng Yue's official is small, and the house doesn't need to be too good.

Tao Zhu listened to Shen Hua's words, and was sincerely happy for Meng Yue, yes, he finally has no foreign debts, and he can concentrate on saving money to buy a house.

Everyone around me wants to buy a house, which shows that the days are getting better and better, which is a happy event.

Not long after Shen Hua left, Li Dashan put on an ox cart and went to pick up Li Qiao from work.

Now Tao Zhu doesn't go to pick up Li Qiao every day, because the two little cubs are too clingy to leave him, but now it's cold, and it's too hard to go out with the two little cubs, so now it's often Li Dashan who takes Li Dao to pick him up from work.

The weather was gloomy and it was already dark when I got home in the cold wind.

Dinner was also ready.

Zheng Qianqian took Li He and Li Yu to do it, Li He is thirteen years old, Li Yu is fourteen years old, although he is young, but he is very sloppy in his work, and his cooking skills are better than Zheng Qianqian.

After dinner, Li Qiao Taozhu took the two little cubs back to the side yard to warm the house.

Zheng Qianqian also took Li Xiaorui over.

Li Xiaorui likes the two little cubs very much, not only playing with them during the day, but also playing with the two of them for a while after dinner before he is willing to sleep.

Their favorite game is to crawl around on the carpet.

Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, two little fat friends, can only crawl, not run, Li Xiaorui can run, so he used the table leg to play peek-a-boo with the two of them.

is such a big Li Xiaorui, the table legs can't be hidden at all, but he hides very seriously every time, and shouts at the two little cubs to catch him quickly.

The two little cubs couldn't understand at all, but seeing that their eldest nephew was working so hard, they would crawl over slowly every time.

The little ball, wrapped in tiger skin clothes, moved slowly towards Li Xiaorui, and the picture was very cute.

After the two of them crawled over, Li Xiaorui put one in his arms, and the three little ones laughed on the blanket.

The charm of this childish game, Li Qian Taozhu, Zheng Qianqian, and Li Dashan didn't understand, but looking at the smiling faces of the three little guys and listening to their giggles, they couldn't help but smile.

Very good.

They don't have to bother playing with each other anymore.

Soon, the two little cubs were sleepy, and when the two of them fell asleep, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu washed quickly, and after the two of them finished washing, Zheng Qianqian took Li Xiaorui back to the main courtyard.

The time was too early, lying on the warm kang, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu did not feel sleepy, since they had a little cub, only this time really belonged to the two of them.

Li Qiao grabbed Tao Zhu's hand and talked about his experience today slowly while playing.

He didn't eat lunch at Hanlin Courtyard today.

It was almost noon when the Seventh Prince sent someone to look for him, and he and the Seventh Prince went to the restaurant downstairs in Baiwei.

"The Seventh Prince is looking for you?"

When Tao Zhu heard this, he changed from lying flat to lying on his side, and turned his head to look at him.

"He showed me an account book, which is the specific location of our family's 220,000 taels of silver."

Li Qian explained.

“…… The Seven Princes are really serious and responsible people. ”

Tao Zhu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

He and Li Qiao naturally trusted the Seventh Prince.

But he didn't think that the Seventh Prince would show Li Qiao the account book.

"Yes, I was surprised to see the ledger as well. He spent our money on those who suffered particularly heavy losses, there were many mountains, and when the mudslide came, some people's homes were buried, and some people who ran early brought out their savings, and some people who ran late, only people ran out, and the rest were all buried. ”

"The Seventh Prince gave us our silver to these people, and also bought seeds and grain."

"220,000 taels, a total of more than 5,000 families have been helped, the people are very grateful to him, he is very grateful to us."

Because this batch of silver was quietly donated, the Seven Princes could only say that the silver was raised by him personally when he was in disaster relief.

The victims only knew that he was the seventh prince, but they did not know Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

In this regard, the Seventh Prince was a little sorry, and his good reputation was all borne by him alone.

"It's okay, we didn't donate for fame and fortune. It has helped more than 5,000 families, which is much more than I expected. ”

Tao Zhu was surprised.

When he donated it, he really didn't think that the money would have such a specific place.

"Yes, I am very grateful to the Seventh Prince, and I have repeatedly thanked him, our silver has not been spent in vain."

"He's obviously lost a lot of weight, and he told me about the miserable situation over there."

Li Qiao said, her voice lowered, and the hand holding Tao Zhu was also clenched.

"The heavy rain came too suddenly, and local officials did not do anything to notify the people to evacuate in time, and this rainstorm not only affected millions of people, but also killed nearly 8,000 people."

"That's why the Holy One is angry, this number is too much."

Tao Zhu: "......"

He couldn't help but hold his breath.

So many people!

"Also, the third prince and the fifth prince did not perform well in this disaster relief, and the seventh prince sued them, which is also one of the reasons why the saint is angry."

"As I was worried before, the third prince said that he was going to provide disaster relief, but after arriving in the local area, he spent a lot of time and energy on making friends with local officials and did not pay attention to the people."

"The fifth prince wants to make some achievements, but what he wants is results, as for the people, he actually doesn't care. When he didn't get what he wanted, he was furious. ”

"For example, if the people want to plant the seeds after they get the grain seeds, he hopes that the people can plant all the seeds within three days, but if the people don't finish planting on time, he won't allow the people to eat and rest, and when they finish planting, they can rest and eat."

"However, it may be because they supervise each other, so the two of them didn't have the idea of funding funds from the imperial court, but they just worked hard for their great cause of seizing the throne."

Thinking of what the Seventh Prince said today, the worry in Li Qiao's heart couldn't dissipate.

Where are these two princes going for disaster relief, they are going to save their own capital to seize the throne.

Tao Zhu was speechless when he heard Li Qiao's words.

"Based on the performance of the two of them, the Holy One shouldn't make them the crown prince, right?"

"The Holy Lord has already opened an investigation against them, but to be honest, the two of them didn't make a big mistake this time, so if you want the Holy Lord to be completely disappointed in them, there must be a few more times like this."

"It's going to be a misery for the people."

Tao Zhu: "......"

He was silent for a few seconds, then turned over and lay on Li Qiao's body.

Fortunately, he and Li Qiao are not ordinary people now.

Thankfully, fortunately!

Li Qian hugged him, patted him lightly on the back, and then said: "Don't think too much, the saint loves the people like sons, and he will definitely not make these two princes princes." ”

"Moreover, after the Holy Lord understands the personalities of these two princes, the next time he asks these two princes to do things, eighty percent will send a steady and reliable minister to keep an eye on them."

"Let's believe in the Holy One."

Hearing this, Tao Zhu hummed softly.

For now, he is very trusting and grateful to the Holy One.

It's just that when he thinks of these two princes, he can't help but feel irritated.

Obviously, the saint is a Ming monarch, but how can these two princes be stupid and violent? It doesn't look like the Holy One is born anymore.

"If only the Seventh Prince were a man." He pursed his lips.

"That's what I'm looking forward to, too." Li Qiao smiled bitterly.

The Seventh Prince not only has a heart that loves the people, but also has the ability to love the people, but unfortunately, he is a little brother......

"Speaking of which, after chatting with the Seventh Prince today, we talked a few more words about Meng Yue. Meng Yue is in the Criminal Department, and the Seventh Prince is also in the Criminal Department, I ask the Seventh Prince to take care of Meng Yue more, and guess what. ”

Thinking of today's little strangeness, Li Qiao changed the topic while gently rubbing on Tao Zhu's back.

"What's wrong?"

Tao Zhu asked very cooperatively.

He sneered.

"Huh?"

Tao Zhu was surprised, originally his cheek was buried in Li Qiao's neck socket, but the reaction of the Seventh Prince was too strange, he couldn't help but get off Li Qiao's body, and then sat up.

"Where did Meng Yue provoke him?"

"I was also curious, and immediately asked if Meng Yue had done something wrong. As a result, he explained that the sneer just now was not aimed at Meng Yue, but at Meng Yue's peak, and he diverted the topic. ”

"But my intuition tells me that his sneer was directed at Meng Yue."

Li Qian also sat up, followed Tao Zhu's appearance, crossed his legs, and looked serious.

“…… Then why don't you ask Meng Yue another day? If there is any misunderstanding, you can mediate as an intermediary. Sister-in-law Meng is happily preparing to save money to buy a house, full of yearning for the future, Meng Yue can't drop the chain at such a critical moment. ”

Tao Zhu frowned.

"Okay."
