Chapter 110 Earthquake

King Jin came back on time that day, and Jiang Changning told him about the Qiao family's possession of the property in the mansion and the purchase of private property.

After reading the land deeds, farm deeds and account books, the King of Jin was silent for a moment, "Zhuangzi and the shop will go into your private account. One restaurant will be given to Kang Ren, and the other restaurant and the money will be returned to the public."

"No need, I have a lot of dowry." Jiang Changning really didn't pay attention to the private property Qiao purchased.

She has only six villages in her thousand acres of fertile land.

"Some people think that there are too many private properties." King Jin laughed.

Jiang Changning's bright eyes flashed, and he smiled sweetly, "Okay then, I'll accept this concubine reluctantly. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's Xiaowang's fault for putting the princess in trouble. Xiaowang apologizes." The way King Jin apologized was to kiss Jiang Changning until he was panting and his eyes were filled with water.

The days flew by and it was the seventh day of the second lunar month, the 22nd birthday of King Jin.

In the early morning, Jiang Changning couldn't get up. Jiang Changning ordered Madam Cui to make the bowl of longevity noodles in the morning, but didn't make it herself, although she could make it.

King Jin got up gently and walked to the outer room to put on his clothes.

After freshening up, he did not go out to go to court immediately, but asked: "What are you going to eat today?"

Since marrying Jiang Changning, Prince Jin has no need to go hungry when he goes to court in the morning. Jiang Changning has the small dining room prepare breakfast for him every day.

It's not that the people in the small kitchen didn't prepare breakfast for King Jin because they didn't do their best. It was because he woke up too early and King Jin had no appetite and didn't let the small kitchen prepare it.

But Jiang Changning asked the small dining room to prepare it, which was her intention, and King Jin did not want to let it down.

Furthermore, Jiang Changning asked the small dining room to prepare exquisite snacks, which will not make people feel bored when they see them, but will make them want to eat them.

"The princess asked the small dining room to prepare longevity noodles. She said that today is the prince's birthday and asked the prince to finish the longevity noodles in one go. The princess also said that the prince should come back early because she had a gift for him." Chang Youzhong.

said.

The corners of King Jin's lips raised and he smiled happily. He was looking forward to the princess's gift.

But in the morning, he heard that an earthquake occurred in eastern Yunnan a month and a half ago, which made him feel heavy.

According to the reporting official, thousands of people cried and complained, ten to nine houses were destroyed, and many young and old were killed and injured.

The grain rotted away, and the people's orders were difficult, so they peeled off the elm skin and ate it, and the elm skin was all used up on the wild vegetables, and the wild vegetables were all on the wheat leaves.

An official asked: "Why was it delayed until today to report it to the court?"

Even if the east of Yunnan is far away from Beijing, it won't take a month and a half to travel, and it will only take a dozen days at a quick pace.

"The road was broken, the mountain collapsed, and the obstruction was serious. In addition, there were many casualties, so it was delayed until now to report it to the court." explained the reporting official.

Then the reporting officials made another misfortune. In short, the delay in reporting was not the fault of the local officials. It was actually a sudden natural disaster that led to the current situation, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"The earthquake is beyond human control. It has already occurred. Now it is time to send people to provide disaster relief. Who do you think is more appropriate?" The emperor's eyes fell on King Jin.

He wanted to send King Jin out. The earthquake area was very dangerous. If he could use some tricks to let King Jin die there, he would really have peace of mind.

Even if he can't kill King Jin, he can only find a chance to comfort the lonely Lord Chun'an County by transferring King Jin out of the capital.

Seeing the emperor looking at King Jin, an official who figured out my intention came out and said: "I recommend Prince Jin to take on this important task."

The King of Jin glanced at the official and said: "It is the duty of a minister to share your worries for the king. However, Your Majesty, I am not only the Minister of Rites, but also in charge of the compilation of "Wenyuan Yulan". I am really incapable of doing anything for Your Majesty.

I share my worries and please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned, King Jin refused to accept the order, and he could not force him.

After all, what King Jin said was true, not to mention that there were so many civil and military officials, princes, princes, and princes in the court, so everything was placed on King Jin.

How come the imperial court raises all trash?

Then what kind of salary should I receive? I should give all my salary to the King of Jin.

At this time, an official came out and volunteered, "I would like to go to eastern Yunnan to provide disaster relief."

The emperor took advantage of the situation and walked down the steps, "I will leave it to Xie Qing to handle the disaster relief."

"I will definitely make good arrangements for the lives of the victims and let East Yunnan return to normal," the official said.

The emperor was satisfied with his gesture and asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate disaster relief items, food, etc.

After talking about the earthquake, another official came up to report the incident.

The morning court did not disperse until the beginning of Chen hour, and King Jin went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

At noon, while King Jin was still busy, Chang Youzhong came in with a food box and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

"I'm not hungry yet." King Jin said without raising his head.

"The princess sent it to you," Chang Youzhong said hurriedly.

King Jin raised his head and looked at Chang Youzhong, "The princess has asked someone to bring food?" This has never happened.

"The princess sent this to Miss Shu Fei, and Qiu Shuang is here with her." Chang Youzhong said this to tell King Jin that someone was not sending something in the name of the princess.

King Jin was happy, "What did you give me? Let me see it."

Chang Youzhong opened the food box, looked at the contents clearly, and twitched the corner of his mouth. The princess was so childish and unsubtle.

What Jiang Changning prepared for King Jin was the little rabbit's love box lunch. The little rabbit was made of white rice and surrounded by vegetable sauce.

The eyelashes and mouth are cut out from seaweed, the red eyes are made from tomatoes, and the hairband is made from orange peels.

There are also two red hearts on the little rabbit's body. Below the red hearts, seaweed is used to spell out the words "love rice" for the person you love most.

Looking at those nine words, King Jin laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.

This was the first time Chang Youzhong saw King Jin. He smiled like this, which showed that King Jin was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Changning prepared four dishes, one of which was the secret roasted pork knuckle that Jiang Changning asked the small dining room to try making last time.

King Jin liked to eat it very much. The pork knuckle was cut into small pieces, with steamed bun slices underneath to absorb the excess oil, and chopped sauerkraut to appetize and relieve greasiness.

The combination of the three creates a rich taste.

King Jin was very satisfied with the lunch that day.

At the beginning of the Youshi period, when King Jin was preparing to return to his residence, Crown Prince De came to him and invited him to have a drink.

The relationship between Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince De's Mansion was good, so King Jin couldn't refute his face, so he asked Chang Youzhong to send Lai Le back to the Mansion to tell Jiang Changning that he would not come back for dinner, but would come back as soon as possible.

Prince Deok helped Prince Qing make an appointment with Prince Jin and helped them negotiate peace.

Neither of them could explain clearly the reason for their enmity. The meal and wine made sense.

Prince Qing's Mansion was willing to surrender and showed sincerity to apologize.

The culprit is the emperor, and Prince Qing's Mansion is just an accomplice.

Let's settle the debt here for the time being. King Jin picked up the wine glass, drank it, and said calmly: "The matter can be revealed, but I won't do it again."

Prince Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Brother Jin, for your tolerance. I'll toast you with another drink."

In fact, he had never understood that Princess Jin had participated in the draft. Why didn't the emperor keep her in the harem?

Why do you have to wait until you point her out to the King of Jin and become the Princess of Jin before you want to get involved?
