Qin Mowei finally returned to Beijing after half a year. When he got off the carriage at the door, Prince Anyang and the Princess came out happily.

"Father, mother, are you all right? Your son is back." Qin Mo bowed and greeted as he got off the carriage.

Prince Anyang smiled and patted Qin Mowei on the shoulder, "Well, good, we are all fine. I know all the errands in the south, and I have done a good job."

The princess pulled Qin Mowei to look him up and down, "You've lost weight, my son must have suffered a lot, mother asked someone to stew ginseng soup for you, to nourish you well."

The family of three entered the palace while talking.

After sitting down in the front hall, a maid brought ginseng soup and placed it on the table next to Qin Mowei.

"What's the disaster situation in the south? How is Jiang Huai's management of the Heihe River going now?" Prince Anyang couldn't wait to ask.

In fact, Jiang Huai would write a detailed memorial to the capital every once in a while, and the emperor naturally told Prince Anyang about it.

But a memorial is one thing, and what is said by one’s own son is different.

Besides, the mountains in the south are high and the waters are far away, and no one can guarantee that what Jiang Huai said is true.

Qin Mowei sat upright with a serious expression, "I have read the reports on the disaster in the south in previous years. According to the reports, the flood in the south this year is not much different from previous years.

However, there were casualties among the people in previous years, but this year the people were resettled early and there were no casualties.

According to Jiang...uh...the second girl's advice, some protective work was done in advance on the house, and the damage to the house was reduced a lot.

There was a small disturbance, but it was soon settled. Overall, everything went very smoothly, and the post-disaster resettlement work also went smoothly.

Because the Heihe River needed to be controlled, nearby residents joined in the effort and the progress was much faster than expected.

Mr. Jiang's work arrangements are very reasonable and meticulous, including clearing silt, widening the river channel, and building river dams. He deals with various problems on the dam every day.

I think there will be no floods during next year’s flood season.”

After hearing his son's own words, Prince Anyang slapped his thigh happily, stood up with a laugh, and walked around the room twice, "Okay, okay, now I can finally rest assured."

As he spoke, he sat down next to the princess and said to her, "Madam, you don't know, but every time you receive Jiang Huai's report, the emperor and I are really happy and worried.

Jiang Huai has just entered the official career and is not influenced by interests and perhaps has a sincere heart.

However, the amount of silver needed to manage the river is too huge. With such a large sum of money in front of you, it would be difficult for even a god to not be tempted.

However, Lord Yuan from the Ministry of Revenue, Xie Yunxiao and Zhou Qian'an, who had returned from the south, all spoke highly of Jiang Huai.

Zhou Qian'an also traveled back and forth between the two places to deliver supplies, and brought back good news every time.

The emperor had his doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to hurt the feelings of his loyal ministers.

Now, I can finally rest assured. I don’t believe anyone else’s words, but I have to believe what my son says.”

Qin Mowei lowered his eyes and smiled. Unexpectedly, they were so tired that they had no time to sleep. These people in the capital were so suspicious that they couldn't sleep.

“Father, Lord Jiang worked day and night, living on the dam, the conditions were tough, but he never complained.

Miss Jiang and her second cousin donated a lot of money to buy food and set up a porridge stall. They did it themselves.

If my second cousin knew about your suspicions and reported it to my aunt..."

Prince Anyang quickly waved his hand towards Qin Mowei, "Hey, you can't tell anyone."

The princess ignored the father and son, thought for a moment, and murmured, "This Second Miss Jiang is a good girl if you put it that way.

It's just that there are too many rumors about him. The young general of the Xie family severed his relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, causing such a big fuss and canceling the marriage between Grand Tutor Cheng's family and Commander Wu's family.

I heard that it was all because of this Miss Jiang Er. The two of them were often seen together. She was a good girl, but that was her reputation. Alas! "

Princess Anyang had been paying attention to Jiang Yuan for a long time because of her relationship with the eldest princess. However, she had just noticed it when Jiang Yuan had caused such a big incident with the Jiang family.

Later, I heard that this girl was good at martial arts, so I followed her to the south. When she came back, she joined the Flying Tiger Camp with her own abilities.

She also has a great skill in making incense. The eldest princess and Madam Zhou both like her, so it's inevitable that she won't notice her.

This girl is good-looking. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she gives people a feeling of vitality. Looking at her, I can't help but feel that my whole body is full of energy and a lot younger.

I was still thinking about discussing it with the prince, thinking that this girl was good, but then she caused trouble again.

It is difficult to evaluate this girl’s reputation nowadays. She has abilities, but is also surrounded by rumors. Alas.

Qin Mo was stunned when he heard the princess' words. After a while, he asked, "Mother, what's going on with Xie Yunxiao and Miss Jiang Er?"

The princess did not notice the difference in her son. She sighed and told him all the rumors that had been going on during this period.

Prince Anyang frowned when he heard this, "You guys just like to say these things. I think Jiang Yuan is a good girl.

Madam, you may not know that the two versions of bows and arrows she designed are much better than the previous ones. The range and accuracy have all been improved.

If the entire army is equipped with this, the combat effectiveness of Dayu's soldiers will be greatly improved.

As for whether she is famous or not, she served in the Flying Tiger Camp and Xie Yunxiao was also there. The two of them went to the Flying Tiger Camp together and came back together. Isn't this normal?

General Luo said that if it wasn't for Xie Yunxiao, he would have arranged for someone else to escort him every day."

Qin Mowei stood up and said, "Father, mother, I am tired and want to go back and rest first."

The prince and princess finally came back to their senses from their bickering and quickly ordered people to serve them.

Qin Mowei returned to his yard in a trance, "Aqi, come here to greet the lord."

"Yes."

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuan, wearing a newly made pastel-colored dress and a red-bottomed rabbit fur-edged cloak with golden lotus embroidery, opened the door and said, "It's snowing."

The maids in the yard, led by Chunzhi and four others, stood in the yard together, "Miss, Happy New Year, and everything goes well."

Looking at the pretty girls, Jiang Yuan smiled, went back to the house and brought out a box. When he opened it, he found a box full of five-liang silver ingots.

"Okay, okay, one for each person. Zhishu, help distribute them to everyone in the yard."

Zhishu is now the chief steward. He trotted forward and took the box away. "Yes."

"Thank you girl."

Just as I finished speaking, two little red balls ran in from outside, "Happy New Year, sister."

He pinched the two red little faces that were frozen, took out two purses, and said, "Here, for the two of you."

Aunt Juan was a step behind, and as soon as she came in, she smiled and scolded, "It's not even midnight yet, the red envelopes should be given out after midnight."

"It's okay. I'll send another one after midnight."

Aunt Juan took out a purse from her bosom and said, "That's fine. This is a red envelope for you."

Jiang Yuan took it and happily put his arm around Aunt Juan's arm, "Thank you, Aunt Juan. Oh, I have a red envelope too."
