Chapter 337 I also like Gentle Township
You must not let someone with good intentions take advantage of every opportunity to sow discord between them.
"Your Majesty, I'm so impressed." He Liangdi said and asked the next person to bring over a pile of happy words, and handed them to Qiao Wenzhi herself, "I heard about your affairs, and I just cut them yesterday, so I should treat them as a welcome occasion."
On the day of the wedding, the old lady of the Hou Mansion went there. Not long after the wedding, her husband was demoted again. It was not easy to meet her, so the red color showed the joy of meeting.
"Thank you, Empress Liangdi." Qiao Wenzhi took it with both hands and quickly thanked her.
He Liangdi sighed, and then looked at Qiao Guxin, "I see how thin you have become in the past few days. Don't tire yourself out if you look at everything."
After telling Qiao her true feelings, He Liangdi looked at the Crown Princess again and said, "I can't help you much, but I beg you to take care of yourself."
Zhou Ming quickly waved her hand, "Who said that, if Liang Di can free up her time, she will definitely be able to deal with internal affairs easily."
Seeing Zhou Ming's eagerness, He Liangdi burst into laughter and said, "My Majesty, please don't be nervous. I just want to say that your Majesty has worked hard." I didn't mean to seize power.
When the prince was not around, He Liangdi finally spoke happily.
She spoke softly and took care of everyone.
After He Liangdi left, Zhou Ming sighed to herself, "No wonder His Royal Highness likes Wenwen Township. I also like it."
The maid next to her quickly pulled Zhou Ming and said, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
Even if you are outside, you cannot be lawless and say whatever you want.
Zhou Ming quickly rubbed her arms, "Am I not praising He Liangdi?"
If it was Zhou Ming's temperament, and the backyard was full of female relatives, they would have to chat for a while, but seeing that Qiao Wenzhi's expression was not right, after He Liangdi finished speaking, she did not dare to say another word, lest Qiao Wenzhi could not control her emotions.
On the other side, Qiao Wenzhi followed Qiao Guxin into the house, put the pile of happy words aside, and then leaned against Qiao Guxin and cried softly, "Sister, he has suffered."
He was so thin that he had even stripped off his face, and his face was darker than before. He seemed to be leaning forward a little, and he didn't look like the high-spirited Tan Hwa Lang at all.
When she knelt down to greet the prince, Qiao Wenzhi clearly saw the patches exposed on Feng Zhaoan's trouser legs.
Looking at the few people and shops on this street, I guessed that it was a poor place, but I didn't expect it to be so poor.
Qiao Gu's heart ran down Qiao Wenzhi's back, but she couldn't think of anything to say to comfort her.
Although she didn't see any patches, Feng Zhaoan's appearance was really bad. She felt sad when she saw it, let alone Qiao Wenzhi.
Qiao Wenzhi cried for more than an hour before slowly sobbing. Qiao Guxin quickly asked the rosary to add hot tea, and asked Qiao Wenzhi to drink some first.
Seeing Qiao Wenzhi's hair wet with tears from crying, Qiao Guxin wiped her heartache, "After the bitterness, the sweetness remains. When my sister-in-law returns to the capital, everything will get better."
At that time, in everyone's hearts, he will still be the first love interest.
Qiao Wenzhi sniffed, "I hope I can return to Beijing smoothly."
Otherwise, if I stay here, I might not even be able to reach forty.
Waiting for Qiao Wenzhi to calm down, Qiao Guxin asked Nianxiang to send the happy words cut by He Liangdi and paste them on the window to suit the occasion.
The place was barren, the government office was not big, and the few masters had settled in the back to rest.
When Chu Han led him over, he saw the happy words posted on the window at a glance, "Tsk, tsk, can I get a new house now?"
He also felt distressed when he saw Feng Zhaoan's look. It was probably called joy in suffering. Could it be that a group of people had to hold their heads and cry?
Speaking of making trouble at the new house, Chu Hanyin has always regretted that Qiao Wenqing, his brother-in-law, is not easy to make trouble with. If Qiao Wenqing were here at this moment, the two brothers would have to make trouble with Feng Zhaoan.
Talking about the past, it was natural to call her Miss Qiao, but the word Qiao stuck on her lips. She turned around and glanced at Qiao Guxin, then changed her words and smiled heartily, "Mrs. Shen can't protect her."
Qiao Guxin stood on the eaves of the door. After hearing Chu Han's roll call, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely not protect her. Lord Chu, please don't show mercy."
Feng Zhaoan glanced at Qiao Wenzhi, and after hearing everyone's jokes, he held back the tears in his eyes, "Sister, be careful, your elbows must be turned inward."
In the past, Chu Hanyin was Qiao Wenqing's brother, and his relationship with Qiao Guxin was also closer.
But things are different now. How can my biological sister and brother-in-law not care about each other?
Upon hearing Feng Zhaoan's retort, Chu Hanyin was probably so excited that he forgot that His Royal Highness was still here, and suddenly jumped up and hugged Feng Zhaoan's neck, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days and you have learned to talk back?"
You are very good at talking.
"Brother, spare your life, I was wrong." Feng Zhaoan quickly raised his fists.
Seeing the two brothers getting into a fight, Qiao Wenzhi couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes and put on a smile.
"Then this palace, we also want to see how Chu Qing makes a fuss about his new house?" After traveling for so long, the prince also wanted to be lively.
The prince himself gave the order, so naturally everyone must follow it.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, especially Chu Han, who spoke with a loud voice. It felt like there were hundreds of people in the yard, and his ears were buzzing.
When no one was paying attention, the prince suddenly held He Liangdi's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
She was already very tired from the journey, so He Liangdi even cut out the words "happy" for Qiao Wenzhi herself. It was someone else's hand that could not express her blessings.
He Liangdi was not good at cutting these things, and she broke a lot of them. When she finished cutting, the prince found that He Liangdi had blood blisters on her hands.
He Liangdi smiled and shook her head, "It's not all because of them. I also felt moved when I saw the deep love between them."
Zhou Ming heard the prince whispering to Liang Di and looked sideways. It turned out that she was standing close to them. Zhou Ming quickly moved to the side, making sure not to interfere with the prince's eyes.
He happened to be right in front of Qiao Guxin and said, "I'm definitely better at making arrangements for the new house than Mr. Chu."
After Qiao Guxin heard this, she quickly pulled Zhou Ming and said, "Mother, be careful what you say." She couldn't help but frown, fearing that Zhou Ming would really have a wedding with Chu Han.
Although she could tell that the relationship between the Crown Prince and Zhou Ming was definitely in name only, but after all, the title of Crown Princess was here to bear. If you messed up with a foreign minister, it would be bad for Zhou Ming if people knew about it.
Zhou Ming stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll go make trouble quietly."
"No." Qiao Guxin immediately refused.
Although this was a bit bold, it was really for Zhou Ming's benefit.
He Liangdi turned her head to look at Qiao Guxin whispering to Zhou Ming, and then she chuckled, "I see how my younger siblings are getting along so well with the Crown Princess."
The prince also took a look and said, "Mrs. Qiuhe is very lovable."
It happened that Zhou Ming was still talking to Qiao Gu at this moment, and the voice was a little loud for He Liangdi to listen. He Liangdi immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why don't you make something for the wedding ceremony and let Mr. Chu try it?"
In this way, Zhou Ming can have fun without having to come into contact with foreign men.
Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, "Liang Di's method is very good."
Although he praised He Liangdi every time, Zhou Ming always stood in front of Qiao Guxin and would not disturb He Liangdi or the prince at any time.
Seeing so many people making fun of herself, Qiao Wenzhi's face turned red again, and she could only look at Feng Zhaoan quietly like before.
Feng Zhaoan's place was indeed barren, and he couldn't make anything rare to eat for the prince. However, the prince didn't care about that. He told Feng Zhaoan that whatever they eat on weekdays, the prince will eat.
Originally, the white flour that was finally collected was ready to be kneaded in the kitchen. After receiving the instructions, he quickly put it aside and started making wild vegetable wowo.
This noodle is just waiting for the Chinese New Year, and the yamen will distribute it to the people below. Although the common people can't get much as a family, they can always get some taste of white noodles and have a happy new year.
Originally, this vegetable wowo was to be steamed and then fried in an iron pan, but there was a shortage of oil. Since the prince had ordered that the food should be eaten the same as the people below, he followed their usual way of cooking the wok.
Put some water in the bottom and don't let the pot turn red.
After Qiao Guxin got the Cai Wo Wo, it still tasted a bit mushy when he ate it.
"This place is worse than I thought." After eating, Qiao Guxin wiped her mouth and said.
Shen Qiuhe nodded, "The original bullies liked to make charcoal, and all the good land was used to plant trees. Now that the bullies have been removed, the hardship of the people has not changed at all."
The main reason is that there is less land and less food, and the people below cannot have enough to eat.
This place is far away from the capital, and the message sent by Feng Zhaoan to ask the Ministry of Industry to take action probably just arrived at the palace.
The earliest we can do is open up wasteland next spring. It will be difficult to plant winter wheat this fall.
Even if the prince knew about this, there would be nothing he could do. The most he could do was send people and tools to help them clear up wasteland.
But there is another problem. The land where the trees have been planted is basically not fertile anymore, and there will probably be no good harvest within three years.
Moreover, the fight against the bullies was so urgent that the charcoal-burning kiln was damaged and the people below could not make any money.
What Feng Zhaoan meant was to distribute these trees to the people below, so that Chu Hanyin would have to report to the capital and wait for the officials to discuss the results.
Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, it saves a lot of time. The problem is that the Crown Prince also has to look at the situation in the neighboring counties. Whether these trees are for the people below or belong to the yamen, he also needs to think deeply.
To put it more bluntly, it is actually a mess.
Moreover, the people below were also suspicious of the newly appointed Feng Zhaoan because the people in the yamen were not trustworthy before, and they were not very cooperative.
The government offices above only seek stability and avoid making mistakes, which is not conducive to Feng Zhaoan's drastic reforms.
Hearing what Shen Qiuhe said, Qiao Gu felt worried for Feng Zhaoan, "In this case, will my sister-in-law be able to return to the capital after the New Year?"
Shen Qiuhe frowned slightly, "It's hard to say for the time being. However, my sister-in-law's idea was put forward first, and the staff was reorganized. There are more people who only work."
There is no need to put a third-rate flower here, it will be a waste.
So Chu Han's trip was equivalent to an experience, so that when he returned to the capital, he would be able to come up with good strategies for the people and the country.
In short, we still have to wait and see first. At this moment, there is no guarantee that Feng Zhaoan will be able to return to Beijing so soon.
