"Amitabha, I finally received a reply from the Crown Prince and the Concubine." Mrs. Fan, the governor's wife, chanted to Buddha. Their greetings had been sent for several days without any response. I was really worried that the Prince and the Concubine might have other plans.
Now that they were finally summoned, Mrs. Fan breathed a sigh of relief. The master said that His Highness the Prince was not very good-tempered. Mrs. Fan arranged for the maids to prepare the imperial uniforms they would wear tomorrow, but she was also worried about giving them to the Prince and his wife.
Gift. At this time of disaster in Luoyang City, what else can you give?
Granddaughter-in-law Wang came over immediately holding Mrs. Fan's order and said with a smile, "I asked them to take care of the clothes a long time ago. Grandma, let's take a look. Is it still okay?"
"You have always been careful, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Fan looked at her belly and the smile on her face deepened, "Stop working and rest more."
"Poor Wen said don't sit in the house all the time. Walk around in the courtyard every day and you will be stronger." Mrs. Wang held her waist and sat down with Mrs. Fan and asked, "Grandma, give my regards to the prince and concubine.
Do you want to bring some gifts?"
"It is necessary to bring it. It's just that during this time of disaster relief, the queen may not be happy if the gift is heavy, but you can't go empty-handed."
Mrs. Wang looked around and pointed to two pots of Wei Zi with buds on the table, "Luoyang peonies are famous all over the world. Grandma, why don't you find a few pots of peonies and bring them with you to invite your empress to enjoy them."
But she reminded Mrs. Fan, "Yes, you have a good idea." She called two of her daughters-in-law to come in and asked them to put together six pots of the famous peonies in the mansion and send them to the prince and concubine tomorrow. "Actually, our governor
There is also a peony garden in the government office, and the peonies in it are all famous, but this is our intention and is different."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, they saw Mrs. Fan's grandnephew Li Shang coming to greet her. Mrs. Fan asked, "Why are you here now? You are usually too busy to catch your shadow."
Li Shang paid his respects to his great-aunt, and then to his cousin-in-law, saying, "All the shops were closed a few days ago. Now the ones open are the merchants from the imperial capital brought by His Highness. Their business is not allowed to be sold."
When the Department Secretary asks about it, His Highness the Third Highness has sent someone to take care of it, so I, as the City Secretary, will have nothing to do."
Li Shang sighed, "It's not that I like to seize power and do things like this. Even my aunt and sister-in-law can't believe it when I say it. Now outside, a pound of apples costs a hundred taels of silver, and a chicken costs as much.
Fifty taels per kilogram, measured in kilograms, and a slightly fatter hen costs one or two hundred taels. Who can afford to eat?"
Mrs. Fan was dumbfounded, "No way. I heard that the food brought by His Highness, the best rice, only costs one tael of silver and one stone."
"Food is cheap, and medicinal materials are not expensive, but apart from these two, all chicken, fish, elbows, fresh vegetables and fruits are all at sky-high prices. How can people live with this?" Li Shang patted his thigh and worried, "Now in the city
I complained a lot, I just went to my great-uncle and saw that he was also very worried."
Mrs. Fan and Wang's grandson looked at each other. Wang advised Li Shang, "Brother, don't be anxious. Is it possible that we are the only ones who can't afford it? Why are you anxious? When others see you anxious, they will treat you as a gunman."
.You just stay with your grandfather peacefully. If you have an errand, do it. If you don't have an errand, serve your grandfather. With such a noble status as the prince, this is your first time here. As the old saying goes, there are three things that make a new official take office. You can do everything.
Don't expose it, or your Highness will be the first to be burned on your head."
Li Shang was impatient. After Wang's detailed analysis and persuasion, he lost half of his anger and smiled, "What my sister-in-law said is that if anything happens to my sister-in-law, just punish me."
"You are from a man's family, and we women's affairs will not disturb you." Wang Shi was smart and asked Li Shang, "Didn't you say that your highness went to Yecheng before going to Luoyang? If you can find out what happened in Yecheng,
It will be somewhat helpful to us in Luoyang."
Li Shangfa complained and went away. Mrs. Fan said, "He is still young and careless. He is always in a hurry about everything."
"Brother Shang has always been sincere." Wang mused, "Your Majesty, your majesty, just wants some filial piety, so you don't have to ask. This is also true in the officialdom. It is not honorable to make a fortune like this nowadays."
Mrs. Fan and her husband have been officials all their lives, and they have never seen this kind of local businesses close down, leaving the foreign businessmen they brought with them to make a fortune.
Governor Fan bowed deeply to Yushi Zhuo, "Originally, I was supposed to go to greet you in person, but now I have to bother you to stay in my humble abode, which makes me feel uneasy."
"What are you upset about? This is my order. After all, I have to live with His Highness the Governor's Yamen. When you go to the Governor's Yamen, do you want to pay your respects to His Highness? He is the worst person to deal with. Let's go out and have a rest.
It would be nice to talk for a while." Zhuo Yushi's tone always made Governor Fan suspicious every time he mentioned the third prince. After all, even if he was really at odds with His Highness, he would not appear to be kind and kind.
The royal censor was quite outspoken.
While he was thinking, Governor Fan led Censor Zhuo to the main hall to sit down and serve tea. Censor Zhuo asked, "What's the matter?"
This is different from the officialdom, and is too straightforward.
Zhuo Yushi raised the corners of his lips, picked up the tea cup and opened the lid. A burst of old tea smell rushed straight to the door, almost choking Zhuo Yushi. Zhuo Yushi covered it back, "Okay, I'm fine, you have nothing to find."
What should I do? If you are really okay, I will leave."
"No. That's it, my lord, since the mall was closed, there have been chambers of commerce who have been visiting for the first time. Due to the waterlogging, it is true that the shops in the city have been slow in business, but now, shops in Luoyang are not allowed to open, only the imperial capital who followed His Highness are allowed to open.
The merchants in the city are running the business, and the merchants in the city are quite impetuous, and I don’t know where they offended His Highness. There are also several groups of squires in the city who have come here." Governor Fan told the truth truthfully about the difficulty.
"If we don't have anything to eat before, what business can there be? Besides, workers are paid for building dams, city walls, bridges, and roads. Where does this money come from?" Zhuo Yushi asked, "Does your governor's office still have money?
"
Governor Fan shook his head, "All the money saved by the Yamen was spent on grain."
"Do you want to ask the court for money again?" Zhuo Yushi continued to ask.
Before Governor Fan could speak, Yushi Zhuo looked at him and said, "Since last year, there have been repeated reports of snow disasters in Henan. This spring, the imperial court has made three allocations of money, amounting to millions. Henan is connected from Zhili to the two lakes. If you buy it with money,
You have twenty taels of silver and one stone of grain in Henan. Do you believe that His Majesty can skin you alive?"
"No, no, no, how dare you be so disrespectful to your Majesty? Your Excellency, in addition to the grain allocated by the imperial court, I bought grain in Hubei, and everything is recorded in the records." Governor Fan quickly defended.
"You know in your heart that if the imperial court is willing to allocate more grain, His Highness will come directly with the imperial relief grain. The grain now comes from the grain merchants in the imperial capital. These grains also cost money. You don't have money here,
Should we ask His Highness the Third Highness to come out? I have no money!" Zhuo Yushi said to him, "Are you stupid? If you are so effective in providing disaster relief, can the imperial court send His Highness the Third Highness here? He is in charge of the Punishment Department in the Imperial Capital, and he is usually like the King of Hell.
The imperial court is dissatisfied with you, but you haven't quickly handled the disaster relief work neatly, so that you can have an explanation for your work report in the future."
"At your age, you have to think about your children and grandchildren as well as yourself." Zhuo Yushi rolled his eyes, "We took it from the people and used it for the people. Now it's just a roundabout way of taking it from the rich and using it for the poor. You are
Do you not understand or are you pretending to be stupid? If you don’t resettle these disaster-stricken people, find some jobs for them, and then make them homeless and seek a living in the imperial capital, I think you are really going to lose your life!"
Zhuo Yushi, the leader of the Yushitai, directly trained Governor Fan like a grandson with his words. Zhuo Yushi frowned and said, "Think about it for yourself, His Highness the Third Highness will never let himself be disgraced, and I will never let myself be disgraced."
Luoyang suffered a loss, what about you? Is it more important to be an official, or to be a merchant? If you don’t have money, just eat rice for one tael of silver or one stone. If you have money, buy chicken, fish, elbow, meat and delicacies from the mountains and sea. After this disaster, everyone will be safe, that is
Already."
"Yes, that's what my lord taught you." Governor Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead gently.
Zhuo Yushi hooked his neck and whispered to him, "I will be the assistant for this disaster relief, and His Highness the Third will be the main one. As long as there are no big troubles, I can get through here. You are also a dignified third-grade official.
Provincial Governor, if you don't care about anything that offends people, His Highness the Third Highness will ask me to come forward. If I don't care, he will take care of it himself. Do you want me or him to interfere with your internal affairs in Luoyang?"
Looking at Governor Fan's guilty expression, Yushi Zhuo snorted, "You threw a stone in front of me today to ask for directions. It's your luck. Otherwise, it will give His Highness the opportunity to seize your power!"
"Xiaguan has absolutely no such disrespectful intentions. It is true that the disaster relief failed, and Xiaguan's heart went up and down, uneasy and uneasy, and he fell into a coma for a moment." Governor Fan apologized.
"Okay. Just make up your mind and make things neat and beautiful. As soon as the disaster relief here is over, we must return to the imperial capital immediately. Who will stay here for a long time? Once we leave, you will be safe
Already."
Zhuo Yushi really looks down on Governor Fan. He has a lot of scheming, but he doesn't use it on the right path! With such a nagging and tempting heart, he still doesn't hurry up and get the disaster relief work done!
He was so frightened when he said that the Third Highness wanted to seize the power of internal affairs from him. The Third Highness is not permanently stationed in Luoyang Mansion, so what is the purpose of seizing the power of internal affairs? The Third Highness is now eyeing the death of Luoyang Mansion.
Omission! You'd better prepare a scapegoat quickly!
Li Yuhua sat on the couch in the middle of the room. After all the wives of Gaoming had bowed, he made a supporting gesture with his hands and said, "No need to be polite, please get up."
Ask the maid to serve tea.
"I received your invitation a few days ago, and I have always wanted to find a time to meet and talk with you all." Li Yuhua looked at Mrs. Fan, "Mrs. Fan will help me introduce which officials and family members are here.
?”
Mrs. Fan told Li Yuhua about the official positions of their respective husbands one by one. Li Yuhua's eyes stopped for a moment longer on Mrs. Lin Zhixian. The third brother asked her to give more preferential treatment to Mrs. Lin Zhixian. Li Yuhua picked up a topic immediately, "What a coincidence."
, my hometown is also in Zhili Prefecture, so speaking of it, we are from the same hometown."
Mrs. Lin gave another courtesy, and Li Yuhua asked her carefully where her hometown was in Zhili Prefecture. Seeing Mrs. Lin's gentle and generous words, she also liked Mrs. Lin more.
After lunch, Mrs. Lin sat with her and said to everyone, "This cook used to be a servant in the longevity dining room. After we left the palace and opened the palace, the queen's grandmother was worried that the third brother was not used to eating outside, so she specially rewarded us with the food in the house.
.His craftsmanship is pretty good, everyone should try it.”
After all the ladies and ladies took their leave, Li Yuhua gave each of them a reward. Knowing that Mrs. Lin had children at home, he specially gave her an extra piece of cake to take home for her children to eat.
When Lin Zhixian came home, he saw his son holding his chin and staring at a plate of snow-white snacks with a greedy expression. Hearing the sound of people entering the house, the little boy turned around and saw his father. He immediately jumped off the chair and rushed towards him with a look on his face.
He hugged his father's thigh happily and said, "Dad! You're back!" Then he asked, "Dad, are you tired? Dad, are you thirsty? Dad, are you hungry?"
Lin Zhixian was so moved that the little guy finally brought up the topic, "Dad, if you are hungry, let's have some snacks together!"
