Another snow fell. At first it was fine snow foam, but after a while, it turned into heavy snow.
It snowed all night, and by the next day, the entire capital had been transformed into a city in the snow. The snow on the ground could usually cover the tops of the feet, and the snow was even as deep as the knees.
Su Ziji heard that people's houses in some places had been crushed and there was no news of disaster relief in the palace. He did not come forward himself and asked the wild Taoists to donate some materials through a caravan that had no connection with Daihou Mansion.
, which can be regarded as the best effort.
"Alas, in a country with imperial power, kindness comes from the top. No matter who helps the victims, it is a disaster rather than a blessing."
"Rescuing one person can be called a good deed, rescuing ten people can be a point of reference, rescuing a hundred people, sending an official to ask questions, rescuing a thousand people, decapitating people and ransacking their homes."
"I can't do it anymore."
On the surface, Su Ziji still stayed behind closed doors, ignoring worldly affairs, and only focused on painting the Picture of Thousand Blessings.
"Chirp!" There was a sound of scratching at the door and a fox barking from the study at noon. Su Ziji was a little helpless about the big fox's impatience, so he could only put down the brush and got up to open the door.
The big fox had already shaken off the snow falling on his sweater at the door. As soon as the door opened, he ran in and headed for a dictionary that he and the little fox often used aside.
"Chirp! Chirp!" After Su Ziji came over, it pointed at a few words and shouted.
"You mean, the people from the Imperial City Department discovered that Prince Qi's Mansion was dating Duan Yanxing?" Su Ziji looked at it and smiled: "Finally, the layout is completed?"
"You did a good job." Su Ziji patted the big fox's head and praised.
He also took out a five-tael silver ingot and held it in his hand. It looked perfect and sparkled with silver.
"I'll leave this to you. You go and give this ingot to Duan Qin to buy his life." Su Ziji said softly, his eyes brightening, which made the big fox look stunned.
"Chirp!" The big fox nodded, pulled open the sweater with his paws, and signaled Su Ziji to put the ingot into the bag inside his sweater.
When the ingot was put in, it turned around and ran away.
Su Ziji walked outside and watched the big fox in the snow quickly disappear. Then he looked up at the sky. The snow that was originally light became thicker now. Although there was no wind, this was the capital city's snow.
Fengyun is about to be stirred.
Duan Mansion
"Sneeze!" Duan Qin sneezed several times since he got up this morning, his eyelids kept twitching, and he always felt uncomfortable, as if something was about to happen.
He is physically strong and has more than one hundred people in the Duan family. He is in charge of many things and has many people supporting him. No matter whether it is body or mind, nothing can cause him any trouble or embarrassment.
He is closely related to Duan Yanxing. It can be said that he has never suffered hardship since he became a housekeeper with Duan Yanxing. Today, he suddenly felt uneasy and didn't know why.
Duan Qin thought to himself: "Is it possible that the master knew about my previous work as a cashier to suppress a lawsuit for someone else?"
"Or was it discovered that I had hooked up with the third lady's maid?"
But even if this is the case, it doesn't matter. Even Duan Yanxing himself did this. The master doesn't know what kind of person he is. How could he punish himself for such a thing?
"Or maybe I caught a cold and feel uncomfortable, that's why I feel flustered?"
Duan Qin thought carefully about what he had done recently, and he didn't think there was anything that could make him so flustered. Thinking about the few sneezes he had just made, he believed that he felt like this because he was not feeling well.
"Being bored in the house is not conducive to relaxing your mood. It's better to go and have a cup of tea."
"It's just, will I be at restless, should I go out?"
Hesitated, Duan Qin looked at the snow scene and wanted to drink a cup of tea. In the end, he returned to the house and changed a thick robe, so he went out.
There is nothing speechless all the way, and you can see beggars and refugees accidentally. To be honest, now the founding of the country is gradually prosperous, there are not many beggars.
, waiting for the porridge shed to release relief.
Duan Qin gathered a dog leather coat. In fact, his home hidden the superficial fox skin, but after all, he was just a housekeeper. It was not good to wear it. He could only wear this.
When I arrived at the teahouse, I had to go to the steps. I suddenly heard a crispy sound. I rolled to my feet. Duan Qin looked down and looked at it.
Silver is already attractive to people, and this new ingot that looks extremely clean will make people who are greedy for money even more happy.
Hearing someone coming behind him again, Duan Qin had no time to pick it up, so he stepped on the silver ingot with his foot. After the two guests behind him walked into the teahouse chatting and laughing, he quickly lowered his head to pick it up. He looked around and saw no one there.
Discovering this scene, I was busy putting the silver in my arms.
As soon as the money was in his arms, most of his original uneasiness disappeared. Duan Qin, who had a sullen face at first, couldn't help but feel happy now.
"Hey! Could this be destined to send me a small fortune? The God of Wealth is reminding me that I misunderstand it?"
When this idea comes out, it really can't hold it. After all, this is close, and I hope to accumulate more joy. Who wants to believe that I am unlucky?
Duan Qin had just made a small fortune and happily walked into the teahouse. When he reached the seat where he always sat, he saw an acquaintance - Manager Chen from Prince Qi's Mansion.
I don't know why, but the two of them had quite a pleasant conversation with each other several times before. But this time, when their eyes met, Duan Qin felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the uneasiness that had dissipated due to picking up gold actually reared its head again.
"Maybe I shouldn't take this matter at all, and shouldn't be a liaison chess piece." Duan Qin's heart even suddenly rose to such an idea.
"I'm a housekeeper and I can't be promoted. Even if I complete this errand for the master, I will only be rewarded with a few taels of silver. How many taels of silver do I need?"
"Am I obsessed?"
Duan Qin can be regarded as a person who makes decisive decisions. Now that he thought this, he planned to make the matter clear today and not come back in the future.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly couldn't help himself and said: "My family already knows what King Qi wants, and I will follow King Qi's orders from now on..."
As soon as the words came out, although they were very low, Duan Qin even broke out in a cold sweat and was shocked in his heart: "What's wrong with me? Why did I say such a thing?"
"Could it be that he was hit by the Nightmare Town's spell?"
Manager Chen, who originally looked like a normal person, looked like a monster in his eyes at this moment. He didn't even want to stay in one place anymore and immediately turned around to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw several armored soldiers blocking the door of the teahouse, holding long knives in their hands, and they were filled with evil spirits.
"You want to leave now?" A man stood and shouted coldly: "Take it down!"
This high-pitched voice made Duan Qin immediately recognize the identity of the person who gave the order: This is the eunuch!
"You're wronged, you're wronged!" Before Duan Qin had time to react, he was held down by two armored soldiers and kicked heavily. He immediately knelt down and could only shout in panic.
