The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 167 Reward some gold and silver
The coachman picked up a lot of branches, but because it had just rained, the branches were not very dry, Yinxiang had to work hard to light the fire, the fire was ignited, and Yi Rao hurriedly pulled Huahua and Lulu around Going up, it was already early winter, and it was very cold in the wild at night. She was not afraid of the cold with the lily pendant, but Huahua and Lulu were already shivering.

"Bring some snacks." Sitting in front of the fire for a while, Yi Rao felt her stomach growling, so she ordered Lu Ludao.

Lulu responded, got up and walked to the carriage, Yinxiang looked at Yirao speechlessly, and said helplessly, "You still feel hungry." After going through such a chaos, Yirao can still eat and drink as if nothing happened, He really wanted to admire Yi Rao.

"My stomach is growling." Yi Rao replied as a matter of course.

"Are you not afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Yinxiang "..."

This Fujin, is he really brave or just too dull.

"Eat, eat more." Too lazy to entangle with Yi Ren on such small problems, Yin Xiang picked up the fire with a branch to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Yi Rao's carriage is very spacious, the Kang table can be placed inside, and it is equipped with a hidden box, and the snacks are placed in the hidden box.Lulu simply moved the kang table down, and then put all kinds of dim sum on it, including jujube paste yam cake, mung bean cake, sweet-scented osmanthus steamed chestnut flour cake, melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, and even two sauced elbows. Only roast chicken.

"You even brought these." Yinxiang was speechless as he pointed at the sauced elbow and roast chicken.Yin Xiang always ate big pot meals with all the guards, so he didn't know that Yi Rao even brought meat with him.

"It's delicious, come and taste it, a specialty of Kaifeng." Yi Rao warmly greeted Yin Xiang, and brought a plate of butter-fried noodles to Lu Lu, asking her to pass it to the driver.

"I don't have any appetite, you can eat." Yinxiang shook his head, he was not in the mood to eat, he didn't know who would win between the guards and the refugees, and the number of casualties.

"Eat something." Yi Rao pulled Yinxiang and let him sit beside the kang table. Yinxiang is the backbone of them, he must be fed!As Yi Rao said, she picked up a sauced elbow and stuffed it into Yin Xiang's hand.

The corners of Yinxiang's mouth twitched, greasy, who wants to eat this!Rejecting the sauced elbow, Yinxiang stretched out his hand to the roast chicken. He has never liked desserts, but this roast chicken is still a little appetizing.

Yin Xiang tore the chicken legs and wings to Yi Rao, and then sat aside with the roast chicken. He didn't feel hungry just now, but now he smelled the aroma of roast chicken and swallowed.Like wind and clouds, Yin Xiang ate the roast chicken cleanly. Of course, one roast chicken is not enough to eat, Yin Xiang reluctantly picked up the snacks. Seeing this, Yi Rao hurriedly said, "There are still some in the carriage."

Hearing this, Lulu hurriedly went to the carriage and took down a pack of spiced dried rabbit meat, two catties of stewed beef, four stewed pig's trotters, a salted duck, two water bladders, and a few teacups.Yi Rao bought some of the delicious snacks in Kaifeng that she could take away, planning to eat them on the road.

Yinxiang "..."

"What else did you bring?"

Yi Ren wiped his mouth and said, "It's nothing, I ate them all on the way, only a few, smoked fish. Do you want to eat?"

"Don't eat, that's enough." The corner of Yinxiang's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he handed the braised beef to the driver, who also worked hard today.

"Eat more, if you're full, you'll have strength to work." Yi Rao said, handing the pig's trotters to Yin Xiang for him to chew on.

Yin Xiang shook his head, picked up the bag of spiced dried rabbit meat and ate it. Seeing this, Yi Rao didn't care, and gnawed on her own. No matter what environment she was in, she could be at ease, even though she was in the wild and walked with a large army. It's gone, but now there is food, drink and fire, so why bother to look bitter.

After eating and drinking, Yi Rao suddenly felt drowsy. There was a mattress in the carriage, and Yi Rao took the mattress down to keep Yin Xiang and the coachman warm, and she returned to the carriage with flowers and greens. Yin Xiang and the coachman took turns to watch the night .

Seeing Yi Rao's actions, Yin Xiang was angry and laughed at the same time, he was really speechless as a Fujin.To put it nicely, it means not to be happy with things and not to feel sorry for oneself, and to behave indifferently, but to put it bluntly, it is heartless, eating and drinking, and not taking anything to heart.

But this is better than Jiao Didi who can't bear any hardships. Although I have known Yi Rao for more than ten years, until now Yi Rao still surprises him from time to time.Again, there are too many secrets in Yirao's body, and his whole body is covered with a layer of fog. He needs to spend his whole life exploring and digging.

The three masters and servants of Yiluo went into the carriage to sleep, but Yinxiang didn't feel sleepy, so he sent the coachman to sleep first, and he kept watch at night.

It was late at night, and the dew was getting heavy. Even though he was surrounded by the fire, he still felt chilly. After a busy day, Yinxiang finally felt sleepy.The rescue guards haven't been found yet, Yinxiang is a little impatient, could it be that the refugees have gained the upper hand, and the guards of the Tiger Gun Camp were defeated?
While thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, faint calls, and saw some flames. Yinxiang's eyes lit up, and he stood up. The guards of the Tiger Gun Camp finally came!

Hurriedly waking up Yi Rao and the coachman, Yinxiang made the fire even more intense. In the dark night, the blazing fire was very eye-catching, and the guards from the Tiger Gun Camp came towards the fire.

There were five people who came, among them the leader of the guards was on the list, Yin Xiang hurriedly asked about the situation, what happened to those refugees.

After Yin Xiang left, some of the refugees wanted to chase after him on horseback. After all, Yi Rao's face was there, and it was rare to see him in a hundred years. Although these people could not be called lustful ghosts, they were unwilling to give up. Such a rare opportunity.

The guards of the Tiger Gun Camp didn't give them a chance, they stabbed each of them directly on the stomach and legs, so in the end none of the refugees were able to chase them out.The carriage that Yi Rao was sitting in disappeared, the chicken blood was gradually exhausted, and the people were all gone. If the fight continued, there might not be any results. Moreover, the opponent was so strong that one cut five would be more than enough. When they fell down, many refugees thought of retreating and wanted to escape.

So the guards of the Tiger Gun Battalion quickly gained the upper hand. More than a thousand refugees were killed, some were seriously injured, and those who escaped were chased back. In the end, none of them escaped.After cleaning up the refugees, the head of the guards hurriedly sent someone to look for Yinxiang Yiluo, and by the way sent someone to the nearest county town to report the case to the magistrate.

The guards scattered to find people quickly found a small abandoned temple. The temple had more than a dozen rooms. This was the stronghold of the refugees. There were more than a hundred women and children in the temple. These were the families of the refugees.

The leader of the guards surrounded these women and children, and then sent people to continue looking for Yinxiang Yiluo. It was already dark at this time, and the guards held up torches and followed the wheel marks on the ground to search slowly, so they dragged on until now .

The next thing will be easy. Following the leader of the guards, Yinxiang Yirao came to the small temple. The guards were warming up the fire in the temple. When they saw that Yinxiang Yirao had found them, they all stood up and saluted. They can return to Beijing safely. Yes, great!

Only two of the guards were seriously injured, no one was injured, and the two accompanying officials were also safe, which made Yin Xiang feel relieved. Knowing that the guards hadn't had dinner yet, Yin Xiang hurriedly asked them to cook quickly .Seeing this scene, the small annoyance in Yi Rao's heart turned into a big annoyance, and it was all her fault. If she stayed in the carriage properly, there would be no such place.

At dawn, the county magistrate of the neighboring county town finally arrived and handed over the refugees to the county magistrate. Yinxiang and Yiluo set off for Beijing.There were no more waves along the way, and in mid-November, Yi Rao and Yin Xiang finally returned to the capital.

After resting at home for a day, Yirao and Yinxiang entered the palace together, Yirao went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and Yinxiang went to Kangxi to report the disaster relief situation in detail.Yinxiang didn't hide anything from Kangxi, and told Kangxi everything he saw with his own eyes, and even told Kangxi that he had received money from officials in Henan.

For the safety of himself and Yi Rao, he had to accept those bribes. If those officials were pushed into a hurry, who knew if they would do something that threatened his and Yi Rao's personal safety.

After listening to Yinxiang's reply, Kangxi's face only showed praise for Yinxiang, but no anger at all. He has been emperor for more than 40 years, and he has never seen any kind of official. Yinxiang thought well, Henan officials concealed the disaster , is no longer enough to make him angry.

After praising Yinxiang, Kangxi ordered Yirao to be passed on. Just now Yinxiang told him about Yirao's raising of money, rice, food and supplies. He was very pleasantly surprised. Smart.

After seeing Kangxi, Yi Ren handed over the list in her hand, and she said that she would present the list to Kangxi herself.Kangxi took the list, glanced at it casually, and saw that the first Henan governor's wife had donated ten thousand silver, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Putting down the list, Kangxi looked at Yi Ren with gentle eyes and a loving face, "Rao'er, your contribution to disaster relief this time is not under thirteen, I am so relieved. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Huang Ama, this is what my daughter-in-law should do, and there is no need for rewards." Yi Rao spoke, and replied very sincerely, "My daughter-in-law is not lacking, she is not lacking anything, so don't reward her."

"How can I not reward you." Kangxi shook his head, his gaze became gentler and his face more loving. What he was most satisfied with was Yirao's innocence, her indifferent heart to fame and wealth, and she always gave and wanted what she had, without greed. "Your idea is very good. You have saved so many people. This is a great charity and should be rewarded."

"Thank you, Emma Huang, for your love. It's just my daughter-in-law. I really don't need anything. I can't think of it for a while, so let's forget it." She has no desires and hobbies. Thinking of this, Yi Rao said again, "Huang A Ma Ruo, if you really want to praise your daughter-in-law, then give it whatever you want, and the daughter-in-law will be happy no matter what you give."

Kangxi laughed when he heard the words, but after thinking about it carefully, Yirao's words made sense.Yi Rao didn't know calligraphy, painting and antiques, so she locked them in the warehouse when they were given to her, and she didn't even look at them for a year. Yi Rao wasn't interested in exquisite Western gadgets, so she gave them to her for a while, or gave them to Hong Hui, Or send Guanzhu.

At this time, Yin Xiang suddenly smiled and said, "Huang Ama, if you don't know what to reward, why don't you reward more gold and silver. Fujin has been calling her poor lately."
