Chapter 241: It's a Difference
This is also in order not to startle the snake, Si Juan and Nan Gongjin are deliberately weak, looking like they can't take care of Nie Qi, so that Nie Qi can relax his vigilance and wait for a good opportunity.
This lasted for about five or six days, and Si Juan began to get bored with Nie Yu, although it was a small action that was not painful or itchy, but when they were put together, and Si Juan had to endure it, he became bored.
That day, Nan Gongjin went home from the court, and it rained so heavily that even if he had an umbrella, it was as if he hadn't hit it.
Si Juan stood under the eaves and waited for Nan Gongjin to come back, and as soon as he saw him get out of the carriage, he put his cloak on his wet body, his brows were twisted together, and said, "Why is it so wet." ”
"There was a delay on the road, and it rained a little, but it didn't matter. Let's go to the study first, I have something to discuss with you. Nan Gongjin patted the back of Si Juan's hand and said.
Si Juan sighed and quickly followed Nan Gongjin's footsteps.
"This rain has been raining for several days, and each time it is the next whole day, and you said that those mountainous places will not cause floods. ”
Nan Gongjin suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Si Juan, and Si Juan was stunned at this glance, "What's the matter, husband?"
"How did you know that I had come to you this time to tell you about the flood? Nan Gongjin said with a smile.
Si Juan frowned suspiciously, "Do you want to tell me about the flood, do you need me to pay for disaster relief, and how much is enough?"
This time it was Nan Gongjin's turn to be stunned, he reached out and wanted to rub Si Juan's head, but he saw that his hands were wet, and he stretched half and retreated.
Si Juan noticed Nan Gongjin's action, but she didn't follow it, walked over and lifted Nan Gongjin's hand and put it on her shoulder, "Old husband and wife, are you still afraid of hugging me?"
Nan Gongjin smiled wordlessly, and the smile on his face showed gentleness.
Before the two of them went to the study, a man who looked like a eunuch in the palace called Nan Gongjin in front of the gate of Jiang Mansion.
"Lord Jiang, walk so fast, as soon as the emperor went down, he ordered me to chase after Lord Jiang, but I chased him until I reached the door of the house!" The father-in-law walked over with a smile and saluted Nan Gongjin and Si Juan.
"I said why did Master Jiang go so fast, he was in a hurry to go home to see his wife, it's really enviable!"
Si Juan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled a little unnaturally, Nan Gongjin took down the hand on Si Juan's shoulder, and then Si Juan hid behind Nan Gongjin very tacitly.
"I don't know what else the emperor has to order?" Nan Gongjin asked.
"The emperor has just received news that the rain in the south is too strong, and many places have been buried by floods, and the emperor has ordered the old slave to invite Lord Jiang into the palace to discuss this disaster relief with the emperor for a while. ”
Nan Gongjin lowered his eyes, and then said, "Okay, I know." I also asked my father-in-law to tell the emperor that I would go immediately. ”
"Okay, that old slave went back to the emperor, and I hope that Lord Jiang can hurry up. With that, that Gonggong Chen turned around and left the Jiang Mansion quickly.
"As soon as I got home, I didn't even sit down before I was leaving. Si Juan pursed her lips, although she knew that it was naturally Nan Gongjin's affairs in the court, but after seeing Nan Gongjin for a while, Nan Gongjin was about to leave again, and she didn't know what she could go home for, which made Si Juan's mood drop.
"It's just a matter of discussing disaster relief, and at most I'm standing there to come up with ideas, and I won't take the initiative to ask Ying to go to disaster relief, so I'll be back in just half an hour. ”
Although Nan Gongjin said this, Si Wande was still not in a good mood, she hugged Nan Gongjin, regardless of whether Nan Gongjin's body was still wet, her face rubbed, and said, "Then you change into dry clothes and go back quickly." ”
"But...... Why didn't you take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the disaster relief, husband?" asked Si Wan suspiciously.
"Even if I wanted to, I had to be given a chance by others, but disaster relief was a bad thing, and it wasn't my turn. Nan Gongjin hugged Si Juan and turned his head to the bedroom.
After Nan Gongjin changed his dry clothes, he went to the palace in a hurry, and when he went, he happened to meet Nie Yu, who had just arrived, and the two just glanced at each other, and then walked into the palace of heart cultivation in parallel.
There were three other ministers standing in the hall, and when they saw Nan Gongjin and Nie Yu coming, they greeted each other.
After a while, the emperor came, and the five of them didn't have their luggage, so the emperor waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, this time the situation is really special, so gather the five together to discuss the important matters of disaster relief this time." ”
"Although the flood came faster and more ferocious than before, there is no need to be too anxious, how to deal with it in previous years and how to deal with it this year. Nie Qi was the first to stand up and say.
Nan Gongjin glanced at him and didn't rush to speak.
"Nie Aiqing hasn't learned the actual situation yet?" the emperor frowned after hearing this.
Nie Yu was stunned, "What's the situation?"
The emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he said: "In previous years, Nie Aiqing went to disaster relief, and this year is also the time, I thought that Nie Aiqing would know the situation before me." ”
Nie Yu wanted to say something to defend himself, but the emperor waved his hand to stop, "Jiang Aiqing, you come." ”
"Yes. Nan Gongjin replied lightly.
"This time the flood trend is biased, in previous years, it was in the south and west of the country, and the water was not fierce. This year, it rained heavily for several days, so there was no flooding and mudslides. ”
"This year, there have been accidents not only in the areas west of the south, but also in the places east of the south, the granaries. That is to say, this year, the southern region can be said to have no harvest, and I am afraid that the second half of the year will have to rely on disaster relief to get through. ”
"In previous years, it would only take a month or two to alleviate the disaster. ”
The emperor listened to Nan Gongjin's answer, nodded with great satisfaction, and then said: "Nie Aiqing, you and Jiang Aiqing are both from top students, and you still have to learn from Jiang Aiqing in some places." ”
Nie Yu secretly clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Then there was a discussion in the palace to discuss the disaster relief, and the emperor intended to arrange Nan Gongjin to go to the disaster relief, but Nan Gongjin's refusal, coupled with Nie Qi's initiative to ask for help, this disaster relief still fell on Nie Qi.
The discussion of disaster relief came to an end, and Nan Gongjin was the first to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he was in a hurry to go home to see Si Juan.
But Nie Yu just walked over with no eyesight and deliberately slowed down Nan Gongjin's speed.
"Such a good opportunity, why didn't Lord Jiang seize it?" Nie Qi walked aside, did he just walk in front of Nan Gongjin and block his way.
Nan Gongjin was not annoyed, just shook his head and smiled.
