Si Tianjian's prediction was not wrong, the snow this winter seems to be endless, and it hasn't stopped much since that day.Occasionally, the snow is light and the snow stops. As a result, a new round of snowfall begins before the snow melts.

In the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, Ji Chang didn't go out for several days in a row, staring at the snow in the courtyard from time to time, gradually showing a worried expression.

When Chang Qing returned to the small courtyard, it was rare to see Ji Chang not staying in the house, but standing on the porch watching the snow.Before he could say anything, seeing him coming back, he turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

This sentence immediately silenced Chang Qing's concern, and he just turned around and replied: "It's not very good. The price of charcoal in the city has tripled, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it if it continues like this. And it's not just charcoal, but even the price of coarse cotton cloth in the cloth shop is rising. There are also refugees from disasters near the capital of the city gate pouring in to the capital one after another. I heard that many people died of freezing... ..."

Standing on the porch with his fur in his arms, Ji Chang kept rubbing the stove with his fingers hidden in his sleeves, listening to him report the current situation in the capital one by one.After he finished speaking, he asked, "Has Jing Zhaoyin not yet started disaster relief?"

Chang Qing's smile was gone, she shook her head solemnly and said, "No, I heard that refugees will not be allowed to enter the city."

In fact, the capital city is the capital of a country, and things that are detrimental to the face of refugees entering the city should never happen here.It was also because of the heavy and rapid snowfall in the past few days that both the imperial court and the Jingzhao Mansion were a little caught off guard, which caused the refugees who were suddenly affected by the disaster to rush into the city.

Ji Chang wasn't surprised to hear that refugees were not allowed to enter the city, but it's been so many days, and the court and the emperor didn't come up with a regulation.This is still at the feet of the emperor, and it makes people feel chilling to think about it.Fortunately, Ji Chang didn't have much expectation for the present, so he asked, "What about Your Highness, what effect has he been making all the preparations these days?"

Speaking of this, Chang Qing felt a little hard to say. He said helplessly: "His Royal Highness has been running around these days, but those adults in the court don't seem to give him face. After these days of tossing, we can only get it from the Xiaoqi Camp." Some supplies are just a drop in the bucket.”

The character of the emperor is there, and there are two kings competing with each other, and most of the ministers in the court are people who follow the wind.The group of fools who had taken refuge in King Qin hadn't been driven to a desperate situation, and they hadn't set their sights on King Han for a while, so they naturally didn't flatter him.The reason why the Xiaoqiying gave something was not to favor the King of Han, but because he had an old relationship with the Marquis of Wu'an in Northern Xinjiang, so he had a little more affection for the general.

To put it simply, the king of Han was busy for a long time, but in the end no one was able to get him, so he could only bring his family and soldiers to rescue the disaster on his own.But the family property of King Han's Mansion is only those, and it's okay to bring people to help with disaster relief, so don't even think about disaster relief.

Ji Chang was not surprised by this development, but the endless snowfall was beyond her expectations.She looked at the thick snow in the courtyard again, thinking that Chang Qing was not cruel to the extreme when he said that someone was freezing to death.

After thinking about it, she told Chang Qing: "This snow will never end, so let's advance the plan."

Chang Qing also heaved a sigh of relief.He was used to seeing wind and snow in northern Xinjiang, and saw many dead people when he entered and exited the battlefield, but he had never seen so many people die in a single heavy snowfall.It was another shock to Changqing to see those refugees whose faces were pale from the cold and died by the side of the road, because these people were living and working in peace and contentment not long ago, and because they didn't have to die so easily.

If the emperor ordered disaster relief, if the court cared about the people, and even if the King of Han's efforts were not ignored, they would not have to die so unworthily.It's just a heavy snowfall, as long as ten days in a month, and when the snow stops and melts, these people still have a chance to survive.

Chang Qing knew that his eldest son had bigger plans, but the current situation still made him feel heavy.He didn't say anything at the moment, and walked away with fists in his arms, but he was thinking in his heart that he should get things done as soon as possible.

Then Chang Qing left in a hurry, before he had time to care about Ji Chang, Chang Ming walked up to Ji Chang and persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty has been standing on the porch for a long time, be careful of catching a cold, and go back to the house first." Let's go."

Ji Chang didn't respond, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Prepare the car, I'm going to Qiao's residence."

****************************************************************************

Ji Chang suddenly visited Qiao's residence at noon, and Qiao Shangshu was naturally not at home.

At the end of the year, as the head of the household department, Qiao Shangshu is very busy, busy summing up the year that is about to end, and making a budget for the new year that is about to start.In addition, there is the current snow disaster - although the court has not paid attention to this snow disaster so far, and the emperor has no intention of ordering disaster relief, but whether it is to help the King of Han or for his own conscience, Qiao Shangshu is preparing for disaster relief supplies.

Qiao Shangshu was not at home, and the person who received Ji Chang was Mrs. Qiao, the head of the house, and because of Ji Chang's special status, there were not many rules when they met.Even Qiao Yue secretly ran to the reception hall after knowing Ji Chang's visit.

Mrs. Qiao saw that Ji Chang had a much better attitude than Qiao Shangshu. She had a gentle and loving smile on her face, and she first thanked: "I was trapped in the mountains last time, and I was too hasty to thank you. Thank you for your help that day."

Ji Chang naturally didn't dare to say: "Auntie is being polite, that's what should be done, and I really can't thank you."

Mrs. Qiao was a little bit ironic when she heard this, she naturally didn't take it for granted that Ji Chang was able to brave the wind and snow and go up the mountain overnight to find someone, only for her daughter.This is the value that the future son-in-law attaches to his daughter, and the appearance of not taking credit for it now brings them closer to the scope of a family.She looked at this future son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye.

Then Mrs. Qiao asked about Ji Chang's health, and after learning that she was fine, the two exchanged a few polite words.When the gossip was almost finished, Mrs. Qiao asked: "The son suddenly came to the door today, is there something wrong?"

There are many rules at this time, even if Ji Chang is the prospective son-in-law of the Qiao family, he still has to send a greeting card in advance when he visits the door.Now that Mao came here rashly, and in the absence of Qiao Shangshu, the male host, he was naturally a little rude and seemed in a hurry.

Ji Chang naturally understands this too, she blinked her peach blossom eyes, she is well-behaved and docile: "I have some things, I want to ask my aunt for help."

Mrs. Qiao was a little surprised when she heard this: "Ask me for help?!"

Ji Chang nodded affirmatively, and said, "Auntie is asking for help."

Mrs. Qiao was even more surprised: "But I'm just a housewife, what can I do for you?"

Ji Chang said, "My aunt has just recovered from her illness, so she must not have been out of the house yet. However, it has been snowing for several days, and my aunt must also want to see the outside situation. For example, the house that was crushed by the heavy snow that night, and Beijing was affected by the snow. There are more and more people, and the land of Gyeonggi is snowing non-stop, and now refugees have entered the city, but the government has not provided disaster relief for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao realized something, and said, "Your Majesty, you want me to donate money for disaster relief?"

To be honest, despite the fact that women at this time were mostly dependent on their husbands, the financial power of the family was often in their hands.The men are only busy with their careers outside, and they don't bother to care about the mundane affairs, so they leave them to the wife to take care of them.Like the Qiao family, although Qiao Shangshu is in a high position, but in terms of earning money alone, his salary may not be as much as Mrs. Qiao earns from running the property.

However, unless the wife is extremely powerful and wants to embezzle a large amount of money, she will not directly go over the head of the house to find the wife.Naturally, Ji Chang wasn't thinking about the little money from Qiao's family, so he shook his head immediately and said: "That's not the case, my nephew wants to ask my aunt to contact the wife she knows well, and we will come out to give porridge to the victims in a few days." After speaking, he added: "It's better to bring more people together."

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiao suddenly said, "That's true. If there are many refugees, my family's porridge is just a drop in the bucket. And helping the victims is also a good thing to accumulate virtue. It just costs some money, and everyone will not be reluctant."

Mrs. Joe said it lightly, and so it is.Families like theirs are not short of money at all. The wives go to the temple to offer incense, and it costs 80 taels of sesame oil. I don’t know how much food they can buy with this money.And compared with adding incense and oil, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and by the way, isn’t it more fun to get a few words of gratitude from the victims?

Speaking of the unlucky situation of being trapped on the mountain a few days ago, Mrs. Qiao was going to go to Huguo Temple to offer incense when she recovered from her illness. It doesn't matter.

Qiao Yue came here at this time, and after hearing a few words, she wanted to say excitedly: "Do you want to give out porridge? I can help."

Seeing her coming, Ji Chang's eyes were involuntarily drawn to her. After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly took his eyes back.But she didn't know that Mrs. Qiao saw all this state of mind, and the mother-in-law's eyes suddenly filled with a three-point smile.

Qiao Yue didn't care about these things, and she had no worries because of her straightforward temperament. She sat down beside Ji Chang happily, and asked, "When are you going to give out the porridge? I'll take the lead in finding some little sisters, and I can set up the porridge shed tomorrow!" "

She had an excited face, obviously intending to ask for credit, but Ji Chang shook his head and refused: "Don't be so anxious, it will be better in a few days. And it's not a day to give porridge, so you have to prepare more."

Qiao Yue was not angry when she was rejected, but nodded solemnly: "It's true, I was too anxious."

On the contrary, Mrs. Qiao thought deeply after listening to Ji Chang's words - if it was purely for disaster relief, people outside might be frozen to death and starved to death at any moment, so it is better to give porridge as soon as possible.As for contact and preparation, both can be carried out at the same time after the porridge begins.But Ji Chang rejected this proposal. She acted calmly, obviously she had other plans in mind.

As for what Ji Chang was planning, Qiao Shangshu kept his family secret, so Mrs. Qiao didn't know.All she knew was that as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that her daughter was already on top of him!

Qiao Yue and Ji Chang were shoulder to shoulder, her eyes sparkled when she looked at her, her tone was soft as if she was coquettish: "Then wait a few days, I'm ready to give porridge to refugees, remember to come and see me ?”

Ji Chang looked at her, and he could no longer be as calm as before, and was defeated in just a moment.

She gave a soft "um" at first, but she was afraid that Qiao Yue might not hear her, so she added: "I will go."

When Qiao Yue heard this, she immediately became happy, her brows and eyes were crooked, and she wished she could give her all her wealth to the other party.

The author has something to say: Qiao Yue (with a big hand wave): What is a prodigal?As long as the daughter-in-law needs it, the family property will be given to her!

Qiao Shangshu & Mrs. Qiao (shaking her head): Although she is her own daughter, but...Yan Kong is really hopeless.
