Changyi snorted, "You should be glad you didn't meet someone with a good heart before you can meet me."
What if the lady's appearance met someone with a good heart, she escaped the fate of being sold, and she was also a concubine who was confiscated.
Zhao shi blinked, "So I'm lucky."
"You should say that you and I have fate."
Zhao Shi laughed, "Okay, okay, it's all because of fate that I met you."
Changyi was satisfied and sighed, "I still remember the drought that year was so miserable."
Zhao Shi, "Yes, it's too miserable."
The carriage went fast, and it arrived at the county office in the evening. Xuemei got the news and came out to greet her in advance. Seeing her parents' eyes were red, "Father, mother, my daughter made the two elders suffer."
Changyi looked at her daughter, "I've lost weight."
Then he looked at his son-in-law dissatisfied, Liu Feng's heart tightened, his father-in-law's eyes were too sharp, and he stepped forward, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law has worked hard all the way."
Changyi snorted coldly, looked at the county office, then glanced at the butler who was standing and waited for the servants, and walked inside with his hands behind his back.
Zhao said to her son-in-law, "Your father has been worried about you all the way. He just likes to carry it."
There was a smile in Liu Feng's eyes. He came to the county government for a year, and his father-in-law helped him a lot. With his father-in-law supporting him, the government gave him a lot of support.
Changyi went from the front yard to the back yard of the county government, and looked carefully at everything he could see. In the end, he felt that he was really poor. He could see at a glance that the paintings hanging in the house were painted by his son-in-law.
The Zhao family also felt sorry for the girl's residence. The furniture in the girl's house in the capital was made of precious wood, and the furniture here was only practical.
Yushuang, "Mother, don't look at it, sit down and rest."
Mrs. Zhao sat down and hugged her grandson, "Your father and I brought you a lot of food, and your grandmother remembered that you also packed two carts of food."
Xuemei was embarrassed, "Mother, we have food."
The family's food was not sold at all, it was shipped after the autumn harvest.
As the food donation went on, the busiest department in the capital was the Ministry of Households. Zhou Shuren had a list of food donations in his hand. His eyes fell on Zhang Jinghong's name and he called Zhang Jinghong, "You donated five hundred shi?"
Zhang Jinghong nodded, "Yes, the list is correct."
"I thought you would keep a low profile."
Zhang Jinghong, "The lower officials don't donate much."
Zhou Shuren said, "You're an individual, not a family. You donate five hundred shi, don't you say much?"
Zhang Jinghong lowered his head and felt bitter in his heart. He knew that the weather was abnormal and the food at home was not sold at all, but now he has to donate most of it. "The outsiders of Xiaguan's family don't understand, and the royal family must understand. At this time, Xiaguan can't hide. private."
His identity is always a problem, he has to show loyalty to the emperor at all times and appreciate the royal family's grace of not killing.
Zhou Shuren was silent. He thought that Zhang Jinghong had a swollen face to make a fat man, and that he had a solid family background, "Go back."
A warm current flashed in Zhang Jinghong's heart. Lord Zhou has taken great care of him these years, "Xiaguan, Lord Xie for reminding him,"
Zhou Shuren waved, "Go get busy."
Then he continued to read the food donation brochure, his brows became more and more tight, and then he took out the list of advance payment for next month's salary. The emperor said that food donation should be done within one's capacity. Salary.
Fortunately, the court has a good policy on officials, and officials who have difficulties can advance their salaries for up to three months.
The two lists were sent to the palace, he didn't want to worry about it anymore, let the emperor worry about it.
In the palace, the emperor did not see Zhou Shuren enter the palace, and was very disappointed. He still wanted to discuss his ideas with Zhou Shuren, but unfortunately Zhou Shuren did not need to not enter the palace.
After reading it, the emperor handed it to the prince, "Look at it."
The prince looked at the list of prepayments and said, "The advantages of the Wen family taking the lead in donating more money outweigh the disadvantages."
The emperor snorted, "These ministers can still live on their salaries in advance, while the common people can only rely on the imperial court."
The prince raised his head and said, "Father, my son heard that the younger brothers want to donate food."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Why, you also want to donate food?"
The prince spread his hands, "The mother really wants to help her son prepare, but the son doesn't want it. Father, you are the father of the son. The son has no money for his brothers and can only ask you to help his son with food."
The emperor snorted, "Your mother prepared for you that you don't want it, and you care if I want it?"
The prince bent his eyes, "The son has a younger brother. The mother prepares the younger brother, and the father prepares the son. How fair do you think."
The emperor had a smile in his eyes, the prince was close to him, and he was even more happy that the prince said to him whatever he thought, "slick."
The prince knew that it was done, and he rejoiced at the misfortune. The younger brothers were prepared by their mother's family. He didn't spend a single penny, and it was true that he had difficulty finding a father!
Zhoujia Village, Ming and Qing Dynasty came to Jiang's house, Jiang Miaozheng and his mother-in-law settled accounts, this year's food was not sold, the income from the fields was less, but there were more human exchanges.
Dong Yiyi said, "Patriarch Zhou is here."
Mingqing said, "Auntie, I'm here to deliver a letter to sister Jiang Miao."
Jiang Miao was surprised, "My letter?"
Ming and Qing explained, "I wrote a letter to Beijing, and I came back with a letter for you."
Jiang Miao took it over. There was a reply from my mother and a letter from my grandmother. I didn't rush to read it, "Thank you, Brother Qingming."
Ming Qing waved his hand, "Thank you, you helped me a lot in Zhoujiacun."
Jiang Miao, who fled last time, comforted the Zhou family. This time, the merchants bought grain at a high price, but the Jiang family did not sell it. There were not many in the Zhou family who sold grain. He, the patriarch, handled family affairs much more easily.
Jiang Miao smiled, "Brother Ming and Qing is exaggerating, everything in the clan depends on Brother Ming and Qing."
Dong Yiyi was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, not to mention the benefits of her daughter-in-law with a watch, but said that her daughter-in-law was very good at handling matters. The daughter-in-law did not marry, she only knew that the daughter-in-law was quiet and quiet. The daughter-in-law brought her too many surprises.
Before leaving in Ming and Qing Dynasties, he thought about it and said, "I heard from my wife that the Jiang family sold food."
Jiang Miao, "I know."
Ming Qing smiled, "It's good if you know, I'll go back first."
"Okay, I won't send you."
After Jiang Miao and others left, she was speechless to her second uncle. She would not borrow food when she could not buy food.
In the capital Household's subordinate yamen, Zhou Shuren accidentally saw Mingrui, "Did you go home after school?"
Ming Rui helped his grandfather into the carriage, "My grandson asked Shangguan Liu to go to the bookstore, and when it was getting late, he happened to drop by to pick up his grandfather."
Zhou Shuren met Shangguan Liu, "I seem to have heard his grandfather say that he is seeing someone and wants to get married?"
Mingrui nodded, "Yes, it's almost settled."
After a pause, he said with some regret, "Shangguan Liu is top-notch in both character and family background. If his family background is not too good, he is a good candidate for brother-in-law."
Zhou Shuren was also a little regretful, so he changed the subject and asked, "How is Liu Yuanbo?"
Ming Rui, "He's all right."
Zhou Shuren had a smile in his eyes, Liu Yuanbo was the most interesting of the three grandsons-in-laws, "He and Yudie are a good match."
Two people who don't need to take responsibility, just need to live recklessly.
