Allure of a Country Maiden

Xiaoer smeared ointment all over her face and body, and then hid in the space for a whole day. When she got up the next morning, the traces on her face and body had receded.

During this period, Xiaoer was so angry that every time Shangguan Xuanyi came near her, she couldn't help but kick him. It wasn't until all the hickeys disappeared that her anger subsided.

Shangguan Xuanyi came back this time to discuss with Xiaoer how to minimize the damage caused by the earthquake more than ten days later.

He has arranged for the soldiers in Wanli Shitang and Jian'er Island. Now they have all withdrawn their troops and stationed in safe places, waiting for Shangguan Xuanyi's orders.

They know that there is a very important task waiting for them to do, but they don't know what this important task is.

“If you want to save everyone, of course you have to tell everyone directly that an earthquake is coming and please stay away from the seaside.

But this is impossible, and not everyone may believe it! "Xiao'er analyzed.

"Yes, but there are signs of such a major earthquake. Let's go to the border area first to see if there are any abnormalities. If there is any abnormality, it can be used to remind the people." There are some things that they can only do their best. , listen to fate!

Shangguan Xuanyi knows how terrifying natural disasters are, so he must take Xiaoer with him!

Xiaoer nodded: "That's all we can do."

"Didn't I say during the day that some places in Nanyue Prefecture will feel the earthquake, but because it is still far away, the earthquake will not be too strong. I am only worried that in the counties and towns to the east, the houses where poor people live will not be too strong. , I'm afraid it will collapse. Haven't the construction teams sent by Foreman Liang not left yet? I want them to go over there and reinforce the houses of poor people, so that they are prepared." Shangguan Xuanyi said the method he thought of.

"That's okay. Let's pay for the reinforcement money, in the name of the imperial court!" Xiao'er didn't want to leave too much of a good reputation among the people, so Yum Sheng consciously added makeup when she got married. She was quite touched, but people are afraid of being famous. Pigs are afraid of fatness, and she still knows why big trees attract the wind. After all, if a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

Even now, her reputation among the people has aroused the jealousy of the Queen Mother. Although she is not afraid of the Queen Mother, Xiaoer is afraid of trouble, so reputation is not important to her. She lives a carefree and happy life, and her family is healthy. That's the most important thing.

"I'll send some soldiers to help."

"Why don't the entire county conduct a poverty alleviation operation? The Yamen also sends some officials to help poor Yum rebuild his home. Plus Yum does it himself. Although it is a bit rushed in more than ten days, it should be possible to strengthen the house. After all, Not everyone’s house needs to be reinforced! Let’s pay some wages to Yum, or use grain instead of money, and ask the people to work. Now is the slack season, and many people are willing to do it!” If you want to work, just work bigger and let the people work. Jingrui did this in the name of the Yamen, and the credit belongs to the court. Jingrui can also achieve a good political performance by doing this, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

She and Shangguan Xuanyi both want to do things for Yum, but they don't want to take any more credit. It's best to let Jingrui take the lead. After all, he is the official of the imperial court and the parent of the people!

"Okay!" When it comes to business matters, Shangguan Xuanyi usually accepts Xiao'er's suggestions. The only time he doesn't listen to Xiao'er's words is when he's in bed.

The two of them talked about it, discussed the solution, and went directly to the Yamen to find Jingrui. After all, the matter could not be delayed any longer, and there were only ten days left.

Shangguan Xuanyi took Xiaoer's little hand and walked into the Yamen openly and openly, attracting the eyes of many officials. It was unusual for a couple to hold hands and walk together like this in broad daylight! No, it’s not that it’s uncommon, it’s that I’ve never seen it before! They were all very impressed! They knew Shangguan Xuanyi's identity. After all, he had always come to the Yamen before, so they didn't dare to say anything in private!

Jing Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the two of them walking hand in hand to look for him. Do these two people have to show off their affection all the time? Don’t you know how shocking your actions are to outsiders? Normally, I would just forget about it on the street. After all, there are so many people and I would be afraid of being bumped into. But when I come to the Yamen, it’s the same thing. It’s enough!

It's just that he knows that no matter what he says, they won't listen. The two of them often hold hands secretly before they get married, let alone now that they are married! It's just fair and square! He doesn't care anymore! Well, I can’t control it even if I want to!

"Why are you here?" Jingrui asked Xiaoer.

"I have something to discuss with my elder brother."

"What's so urgent?" Can't we wait until he leaves the office and go back to eat? Jingrui was a little surprised.

Xiaoer said his intention.

After hearing this, Jingrui pondered for a moment and then said: "This is a good thing, but the entire state capital is so big. If you want to help poor families strengthen their houses, it will cost a lot of money. Even if you have money, this amount is not enough." It’s too big, brother knows that you want to help me achieve political achievements, but brother has his own plan for this matter, so you don’t have to worry.”

Xiaoer shook his head after hearing this, "I need a lot of money, I know that, but I have a lot of food, so I can use food instead of money to pay wages. Anyway, food is difficult to preserve, and it will become moldy if left for too long, and it will be wasted. ”

Jingrui didn't believe it when she heard this. Xiaoer donated countless amounts of food to the army every year, and then gave alms every winter. Then she would send food wherever there was a disaster. She said that the food at home would be wasted. How could this be possible! Even if you can’t finish eating it or give it away, you can still sell it in the supermarket!

"What happened?"

Xiaoer knew that her eldest brother would be suspicious, so she thought of an excuse: "Brother, do you still remember the earthquake in Qinghe County?"

Jingrui's face became serious after hearing this. He nodded and waited for Xiaoer to continue.

Xiaoer almost saved the lives of everyone in the county during that earthquake, how could he forget it! Now in their shop, Zhuangzi has many loyal stewards who came from Qinghe County!

"Ten days before the earthquake occurred in Qinghe County, I had a dream. The dream was too real, so I believed it and saved many lives. And this time I dreamed that there was going to be an earthquake in Wanli Shitang, so I Only then will a major poverty alleviation action be proposed. Time is running out, so brother, please seize the time to arrange it."

Jingrui didn't have to believe what anyone said in this world. After all, dreams were too baseless, but he had already chosen to unconditionally believe and trust Xiaoer's words.

Jingrui's face was unusually solemn: "I will immediately find someone to come in to discuss and make arrangements so that we can start strengthening the houses for the poor Yum tomorrow."

Human life is at stake, and some things need to be prevented even if they are just speculation, because even if you do it in vain, it is better than regretting it later!
