Reborn Medicine Daughter

Chapter 591 New Year (2)
Jingling City is the capital of Liuli. Although there are many famines this year, first floods, then snow disasters, especially floods, caused great losses to Liuli, but because of Su Xinli's strategy and thorough implementation, Liuli has almost recovered his vitality, and this snowstorm, because of the good preventive measures taken in advance, did not cause serious consequences, especially for the people in Jingling City, most of them live in houses that are It is still quite solid, and Emperor Wen ordered officials to repair and strengthen it, so nothing happened, only a few people in the northern district had some accidents, and now they have been resettled, and there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year. Jingling City is already filled with thick annual meeting.

Although Su Xinli has repeatedly rejected Su Boran's request to go home for the New Year, Su Boran does not give up. Su Xinli knows very well that what he wants or what he cares about is not her company at all, but her return home. If the Xiangfu accompanied them to the New Year's Eve dinner, it would bring them benefits, not only Su Boran, but also other people in the Xiangfu, including her aunts and good sisters. To her house, but with their current identities, Su Xinli naturally can't see her now, she really doesn't want to see her, she doesn't want to see their faces, they like to stand in the cold wind So, Su Xinli let them suffer from the cold, and they were not affected at all by what they should be busy with during the New Year.

In the past when she celebrated the New Year in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dingguo Duke's Mansion sent a steady stream of good things to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but after her mother passed away, all those things went into the pockets of other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially Fang Jingyi and Su Miaoxue. The wallets are all for their face. Now, those people don't want to get any benefits.

Half a month before the Chinese New Year, Emperor Wen’s rewards arrived. In addition to gold, silver and jade, there were also some things that Emperor Wen used daily, such as the inkstone he placed in the imperial study and the vermilion brush used for composing memorials. Although the things are old and some are not very valuable, they symbolize the favor of the king and honor. Those who can get these things are all the close ministers and favorites of Emperor Wen. They are valued by Emperor Wen. The concubine, the empress, other concubines, and the princes including the crown prince all gave a lot of rewards. As a result, those officials tried their best to curry favor with Su Xinli, trying to give Su Xinli gifts. , Su Xinli never refuses anything, and accepts anyone who brings it.

For this flood and snow disaster, she spent at least one million taels of snowflake silver. These officials gave people's fat and people's ointment that had been corrupted in recent years. Naturally, Su Xinli would not be soft-hearted, but Su Xinli was worried that someone would use this to make trouble, So Su Xinli specially made a booklet, recorded all the things she received, and presented it to Emperor Wen. She had already prepared to send those things in her warehouse to the treasury, but Emperor Wen didn't accept them. , and also rewarded her as a red envelope for the Chinese New Year, so that she could accept it with peace of mind. Su Xinli was extremely grateful.

Half a month ago, Su Xinli purchased a large number of cold-proof clothes and quilts, including those for adults, children and the elderly. Three days before the Chinese New Year, Su Xinli took the people from the Su Mansion, and together with Lan Yishu, to distribute these things When they were sent to the North District, Su Xinli gave them things as New Year's presents, except for the people who originally lived there and the refugees who were resettled here. The adults and children were naturally very happy when they got the new clothes. I am more and more grateful.

Su Xinli asked Cheng Ziqian to suggest to Emperor Wen to build a handicraft workshop and a private school here. Originally, the private school should start classes, and the handicraft workshop should also teach the skills of the people here, but because it has been snowing, it has overwhelmed many houses. Now, For the time being, those people without homes are living in the private schools and workshops built by Cheng Ziqian. In such a cold day, this matter has been left idle for the time being. However, those who want to learn skills and children who want to go to school have already done so. Registered, just wait for the weather to warm up, those common people can build a simple house again, and then they can start teaching.

Su Xinli could feel that whether it was the people who lived here before or the disaster victims who came from other places, they were very satisfied with their current life and full of longing for the future. Compared with when she first came here, The gloomy eyes of those people have life and hope. In fact, from the environment of this place, you can feel their changes. Before, the place was messy and dirty, but now there are more people living here, but it is clean and tidy. , because it is almost the Chinese New Year, this place is also filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, people who are a little better hang two red lanterns at the door, and those with poorer conditions have festive paper-cuts pasted on the door, although it is different from those in the southern and eastern districts. The big houses with lanterns and festoons can’t be compared, but there is still a lot of joy inside, Su Xinli looked at those smiling old people and those children chasing after each other, feeling an indescribable joy and satisfaction in her heart .

After Su Xinli returned from the North District, Gao Yiting was also in the Su residence. As the wife of the Xiangfu, she sent a lot of things to the Xiangfu. Naturally, Su Xinli would not be polite about it. Before Gao Yiting came, , Su Boran, Su's mother, Mrs. Chen, and other people in the Xiangfu repeatedly urged her to let Su Xinli return to the Xiangfu for the New Year. Gao Yiting knew that Su Xinli would not want to go back, so she didn't even mention it. The two chatted for a while. In other words, Gao Yiting knew that Su Xinli was busy recently, so she didn't dare to waste her too much time, and there were many things waiting for her to deal with in the Xiangfu, so Gao Yiting sat for a while and went back.

After Gao Yiting left, Su Xinli went to the warehouse, carefully selected gifts for everyone in Ding Guogong's mansion, and asked Liu Yun to pick some good things and prepare them, and she will send them to Xiangfu in person in the morning Although it is well known that her relationship with Su Boran's father and daughter is not very good in Liuli now, Su Xinli knows that she is a daughter after all, and Liuli governs the country with filial piety. I have benefited from her, and most people also believe in her character. In addition, she is now powerful and powerful, and few people dare to criticize her behind her back, but this does not mean that no one is dissatisfied. So some superficial efforts, no matter whether Su Xinli is willing or not, what should be done must be done, and should not fall into the trap of others and give others a chance to criticize.

The current emperor is an extremely diligent emperor, and he only has one day of rest in a month on weekdays, and the day before the new year, he only starts to take a vacation, and there are only two days, but this does not have much impact on Su Xinli Since she became the prime minister until now, unless it is some necessary occasions, so far, the number of times she has gone to the Golden Luan Hall is very small, especially when the weather turns cold. If it is not for making achievements and capturing the hearts of the people, she does not want to leave the bed at all , not to mention going out of the palace, I don't know how many adults in the court envy her such privileges and favors, she doesn't have to go to the court early in the cold winter, but she still gets her salary, and she can be reused by the emperor .
