Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining sighed helplessly and looked at Shi Fang: "Brother Shi, the road is muddy and sticky, and the car is stuck in and can't get out. Let's get off."

Shi Fang had no objection, nodded and said, "It's good, it's not far from that Zhuangzi, even on foot."

Xiaoxue and Dahan, who were sitting at the door of the car, went out first to hold up their umbrellas. Qin Yining jumped out of the carriage and sank into the mud with both feet. He took the umbrella and walked to the side of the road with difficulty.

Shi Fang didn't care if there was any mud on the ground. He jumped out of the car and reached out to pick up the umbrella in Xiaoxue's hand. Who knew that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the opponent grabbed his wrist.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xiaoxue sneered, twisted it hard, and only heard a slight creak. Shi Fang's arm was abruptly broken, and the pain was so painful that he was about to yell, but Dahan's eyes quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

Xiaoxue and Dahan carried Shifang to the woods as usual.

Shi Fang had already realized that the situation was not right, and he wriggled and struggled frantically, but in the hands of Xiaoxue and Dahan, his strength was not worth mentioning.

Seeing their distant back, Qin Yining turned back and closed his eyes.

Seeing that Qin Yining was so surprised, she knew that she still couldn't bear such things as murder, and she couldn't help but persuade: "The princess should not blame herself too much. Keeping this kind of person will be a disaster. It may not be a threat to the safety of you and the prince. I can't stay anymore."

Qin Yining nodded, "I know. It's just that there are some...maybe my side is the kindness of women."

"The princess is a soft-hearted person."

Unlike people like them, who have long been accustomed to desperately fighting for goods in a sea of ​​swords and flames, they don't care about life and death.

At this time, the carriage had returned to the main road, and was shocked to ask Qin Yining to board the carriage.

Qin Yining nodded and returned to the car, took off his boots soaked in mud and water, and put on the spare embroidered shoes in the car.

But for a while, Xiaoxue and Dahan returned.Qin Yining knew that they would take care of it properly, and did not ask carefully, so he ordered to return home.

On the way back, the drizzle that had lasted for two months suddenly turned heavy and turned into a pouring rain.

The big raindrops slammed the roof of the car shed, and rain water flowed in along the cracks between the windows and the doors.The corners of Qin Yining's robe and sleeves were wet, not to mention the startled stings who were wearing robes and hats outside the carriage, they were all wet.

Back at the house, Qin Yining asked the kitchen to quickly prepare ginger soup, and everyone poured a big bowl.

Bingtang even prepared a medicated bath, so Qin Yining hurriedly soaked in a hot bath to avoid causing the wind and cold.

When Pang Xiao entered the door, Qin Yining had just sat in front of the makeup girl, wiping her long wet hair.

Pang Xiao's footsteps paused slightly, his heart was hot and his bones were crisp.

Such a beauty is by his side all day, sitting and walking, smiling and smiling, all beautiful like a painting, he is convinced that in this life he can't hold others in his eyes.

"Sister Yi." Pang Xiao took the soft handkerchief in Bingtang's hand and awkwardly wiped Qin Yining's hair.

Qin Yining smiled and said: "I have asked someone to prepare hot water, and you will take a hot bath later. You will save a bowl of ginger soup for you. You can eat it quickly. The rain suddenly became fierce. Stop." He turned to take the kerchief in his hand and wiped his hair.

The ginger soup came from the cloud, and Pang Xiao took a sip, sticking out his tongue spicy.

"The rain has been raining for two months, and it has become water in the big week. If such torrential rains continue for a few days, I am afraid that the low-lying houses will be flooded. I have just sent someone out to investigate. The situation outside."

Qin Yining nodded worriedly, "I am also worried. Not to mention the distance, even Huichuan County, the terrain is not high. The place where the imperial tomb started construction should already have accumulated a lot of water."

"Yeah, it's about to become a small lake. People are going out to wash water every day, but the speed of Tao Sheng can't match the speed of stagnant water, and there is no other way to divert water. I think this imperial tomb is going to start construction. I'm afraid it depends on when God will allow it."

Qin Yining sighed helplessly.

"The construction of the mausoleum of the sage is too rough, and I don't know if I have been to the Qintian Supervisor."

Pang Xiao drank up the remaining ginger soup,

"Qin Tianjian is afraid that he dare not do the calculations? The sage is quite superstitious. If he calculates something bad, wouldn't he be angry?"

Qin Yining thought about it, too, that those calculated by Tianjizi in the past made Li Qitian fear and sorrow to this day. If the Qin Tianjian said something bad, Li Qitian would kill all the Qin Tianjian if he could not.

After all, Li Qitian was building the imperial tomb at his age now. This project could not be completed in three or five years. Maybe the repair would not be completed until Li Qitian died, not to mention the delays.

People in the world care about safety after death, and Li Qitian, as an emperor, cares more.

"But this heavy rain can be regarded as giving Lu Heng a certain amount of time. I think he should have already sent someone to the stone factory to investigate."

"Yes. Although my people have not found out whether he has probed, but his temperament should have been found out. It's just that he can't do it because of my presence. A heavy rain has delayed the start of construction, and he can just take the opportunity Think of ways to."

Qin Yining shook his head, "It’s better for us here to be in the north. A letter from the former treasurer Zhong Zhong said that the area of ​​the old capital has already caused a great flood. How many people have been forced to leave their homes. It's not so peaceful, and the people who suffer are always ordinary people."

Qin Yining's long hair was draped behind him, his eyebrows were lightly sad, and his eyes were worried, his appearance was delicate and soft.

Pang Xiao couldn't help but embracing her in distress, and sighed: "I am just as worried about the people as you are. It's okay, we still have some money on hand, or I order people to go to the South for disaster relief? , We secretly ordered people to act as well. In this way, we also have a better heart. Would you say okay?"

When Qin Yining heard Pang Xiao's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then there was a gentle warmth in her heart.

Pang Xiao's silver was used to raise soldiers.Whether his fist is hard or not is directly related to the victory and life and death between him and Li Qitian, but he is willing to give priority to the people when natural disasters occur.

Although this man has ambitions, he is not only thinking about himself.

She hadn't heard of Li Qitian's deeds under the natural disasters, but her man was not famous, and even considered to be incognito to do practical things for the people.

Qin Yining thought, is this the charm of Pang Xiao's personality?It's no wonder that there is never a shortage of people around him who are loyal and willing to follow.

"Okay, of course it is good. I still have some silver in my hand. I think the treasurer Zhong will also approve of me to help the victims. I have a field in the south, a manor and a factory, or I will let the treasurer Zhong mobilize those people. Go ahead?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

"As for the money, I don't need you for the time being. I still have enough money in my hand to support it for a while. If it is not enough, I will tell you."

Pang Xiao knew that Qin Yining was thinking about his staff, and nodded moved, "Okay. Just tell me when you come. Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie will also agree that we will save people."

Qin Yining nodded heavily.

Taking advantage of Pang Xiao's time to take a bath, Qin Yining told Jingzhe, sent a letter to the treasurer Zhong, and invited him to come for an interview.

The torrential rain lasted all day, and the water on the construction site where the imperial tomb was first built became a lake.

The people are worried, and everyone is begging.

Xu Shitian heard everyone's voice, and on the third day, the rainstorm finally turned into a light rain.

Qin Yining couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The treasurer Zhong and Qin Yining were talking in the flower hall.

"We have already begun to do what Wang Hao suggested to cultivate terraced fields. Although it is difficult, the effect is much better than that in the low-lying water and sage land. The effect of this year's autumn harvest can already be foreseen."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, "Thanks to the treasurer Zhong, I only know how to make an idea, but the actual implementation will take a lot of trouble. These are all the credit of the treasurer Zhong."

The shopkeeper Zhong smiled and shook his head, "This is nothing. If I don't have the princess's instructions, I still don't know what to do like a fly without my head. The princess is planning to help the south this time?"

"Yes." Qin Yining smiled, her eyes full of melancholy, "I really can't stand the disaster in the south. After all, it is our hometown. In the past few years, Dayan has been suffering from wars and disasters, and it is a little better. It was a natural disaster, first a drought, another earth dragon turned over, and now there is a flood, I really can’t see it. I have discussed with the prince, and try our best to make as many people alive as possible. The water management is too difficult. Let’s start with helping the people. Even if they can’t afford dry meals, thin porridge can make people eat their stomachs.

The shopkeeper Zhong nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up, "The prince and the princess are very righteous. It is true that the old man does things for the princess, and he does nothing else, just for this peace of mind. The princess never does anything to save him. The old man admires the princess Gao Yi, and is willing to participate in it and make a difference."

Qin Yining said with emotion: "If there is no big treasurer Zhong to sit for me, no matter how good I can do, I still can't show it."

The shopkeeper Zhong waved his hands shyly.

The two discussed for a long time, and when everything had a proper decision, the treasurer Zhong stood up and said goodbye, "In that case, I will set off tomorrow and take our people to the south. I will contact the princess again if there is news."

Qin Yi nodded, "Treasurer Zhong takes care all the way. If you have any difficulties, you must arrange someone to tell me immediately."

"Yes, don't worry, Princess."

Qin Yining personally sent the treasurer Zhong to the second door.

Jiyun held an umbrella for Qin Yining on the side, and said with some worry: "The princess's money was not brought by the wind, and it may not be able to last long. If your money is used up again, the court has not allocated the relief, then How to do?"

Qin Yining is actually also worried, after all, the wealth she has is for disaster relief

It's just a drop in the bucket.

"Now I can only go one step at a time."

Qin Yining and Jiyun walked back along the veranda. At this moment, the woman on the second door hurried in to report the news.

"Princess, the prince ordered someone to come and pass a message, saying that the important person from the capital has arrived at the mansion at this time, and the prince asks you to change your clothes and go and meet with him."
