Chapter 320

Since the last time when the banquets made the ladies in the capital laugh, the imperial concubine of Jin suddenly became quite quiet.

Every day, Jiang Wan almost forgot that there was such a number of people in the house.

But since she didn't come to provoke herself, she didn't need to keep her in mind all the time.

What's more, there are Xiayi and Xiaoyue around her.

The two of them are civil and martial: one is in charge of affairs and the other is in charge of accounts. They arrange the affairs in the inner house in order. Except for some things that they can't make up their minds, they will come to her to show them to her. Usually, they don't bother her with those common things.

As a result, she lived happily.

It was the winter solstice in a flash.

Qintianjian sent the map of eliminating cold in September.

The eighty-one copper coins are divided into nine parts according to the pattern of nine palaces, and then each part is arranged in an array of three horizontally and three vertically

With nine copper coins, you only need to paint one copper coin every day. When all the copper coins on the paper are full, this winter will be over.

But when Jiang Wan looked at the stable grid above, he felt very angry.

For the first time, she asked Xia Yi to take out the four treasures of the study and spread them on the Kang table near the window. Then she drew plum blossom branches with great interest.

Xiayi naturally helps her to polish the ink quietly, while Molly sits on the edge of the Kang at the other end, doing needlework while pulling her neck to watch her painting, and occasionally exchanges a smile with Xiayi.

And at this time, a small servant girl ran in lightly, whispered a few words in Xia Yi's ear.

Xia Yi looked at the little servant girl and said in a low voice: "you ask her to wait for me in the ear room for a while. I'll come here after I'm busy."

Jiang Wanzheng is drooping her eyes. She is concentrating on the painting. She doesn't have to look up. She knows that there must be a steward's mother coming to see Xia Yi

Yes.

Thanks to her, otherwise these people have to bother themselves?

Jiang Wan dipped the brush in the inkstone, and then said to Xia Yi with a smile, "if you have something to do, go ahead. My side is just a fun thing. Don't delay the official business."

Xiayi also owed body to Jiang Wan, lowered his head out of the inner room.

But after a while, she turned back, and some of them didn't make up their mind and said, "it's a steward mother in caimai. She said that in previous years, she had a lot to do with people in shuntianfu, so they sent the post of setting up porridge shed to her directly every year. Then my mother came to ask if we should send someone to Daxing or Wanping's farm to transport some grain because we haven't made any preparations this year. "

Set up a porridge shed?

In the last life, when she was a princess, she was mentioned.

Every winter, as long as the snow falls a little bit, many victims from nearby areas will come to the capital to beg for food.

However, with more victims begging for food, there are hidden dangers to the safety of the city.

So they were all blocked out of the city gate.

But they can't just freeze and starve outside the city! Therefore, every year, the government will contact the rich families in the capital, and everyone will unite. Each family will help them to set up a porridge shed outside the city, and cook some porridge every day to give alms to them, so as not to make all these people starve to death at the gate of the city.

"Do we have porridge sheds every year?" Jiang Wan has some strange ideas. She always thought that Xiao Ruixuan really didn't listen to things outside the window as he showed in the capital these years.

"The old lady said that in previous years, she was responsible for cooking porridge, while the financial uncle was responsible for logistics supply, and the government would reserve the place of porridge shed for the Jin palace in advance." Xia Yi and Jiang Wan said, "the snow has been pouring down for more than half a month. I'm afraid many refugees have gathered outside the capital."

"Since there are routine things, we should do them well." Jiang Wan then said with a smile, "what else is there to do such a good deed

Good hesitation. "

"If this year is still the same as in previous years, then the mother will not hesitate," Xia Yi also paused. He thought about how to say this. "Now the princess is back. And the princess has the final say. If we take the initiative to get the gruel, what side will this cost be?"

By Xia Yi such a reminder, Jiang Wan just remembered.

In previous years, when the princess was away, the cost of setting up the porridge shed must have gone from the public account.

But now the princess will take the account in the past, and their own people strong head, when the princess does not recognize how to do?

Now all the expenses in the bamboo garden are Xiao Ruixuan's private accounts. They don't want to be busy. What they pay for is getting married for others.

"What does Shizi say about this?" Jiang Wan also wanted to ask.

"I've heard that it's like letting the princess do it by herself," said Xia Yi. "Shiziye doesn't want to interfere."

Jiang Wan smiles when she hears it.

It seems that Xiao Ruixuan and himself want to go together.

So she said with a smile: "since this is the case, let's listen to shiziye's advice and let them hand over shuntianfu's post to the princess."

Xiayi also nodded, turned to tell the mother in charge.

The steward's mother is also a smart one. After she found out the news from Xiayi, she gave the post to the steward's mother song who was next to the princess.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wan, who had just had a nap, was sitting lazily in the dressing room.

Someone also reported to the outside: "madam, the second young master asked to see you."

"Tell him that shiziye is not here. Let him choose another time." Jiang Wan, who is keeping his eyes closed, refuses without thinking about it.

"But the second young master said that he came to see your wife specially." The man kept whispering back outside.

Looking for yourself?

Jiang Wan slowly opened her eyes and said, "what can he do for me?"

"The second young master said that he had something important to say with his wife..." the humanity of the reply.

"Let him wait in the flower hall. I'll come later." Jiang Wan thought about it.

I have never been in contact with Xiao Ruixi, but from Xiao Ruixuan's mouth, I know that the relationship between the two brothers is not good. And at the thought of his greedy look in his eyes last time, Jiang Wan felt sick in his heart.

She raised her eyes to see today's jasmine, who was on duty beside her, and said cautiously, "go ahead, Xiayi and Lanyi."

Molly seldom saw such a cautious expression on her wife's face, so she nodded and quickly ran out. After a while, she called Xiayi and Lanyi.

As soon as Jiang Wan saw them, he said straight to the point: "the second young master suddenly came to visit. I don't know what medicine he sold in the gourd. You two will protect me. Don't..."

But before Jiang Wan's words were finished, the curtain of the main hall of the main room was broken

Lifted up, a man wearing a white plain brocade robe came in.
