Lu Hanzhi traveled to many places with his parents, and the poorest one was probably Suzhou on the northern border.The weather is severely cold, the land is barren, and there are frequent intrusions from foreign enemies. Many people die of cold and hunger in winter. Even the capital city of Suzhou is far less prosperous than the mainland. There are not many shops on the streets, and most business travelers come and go in a hurry. The family's time in Suzhou was short, but during that time, Lu Hanzhi saw his father frowning every day and thinking about how to change the situation in Suzhou.

Mrs. Zheng sighed softly and said: "Now that the world is peaceful, although poor people are inevitable, it is better than war and chaos. 20 years ago, many people were displaced due to the chaos of King Heng. Many people fled to the capital that year. There was nowhere to stay. In the cold weather, they could only survive under the eaves. In one winter, countless refugees froze to death. Those refugees were unable to bury their dead relatives. In that year, there were several more places outside the capital. Mass graves.”

Peaceful days are better than war and chaos. Everyone knows this truth. This is also how the capital fights for power. The emperor will not allow anyone to get involved in the military power at the border. The soldiers at the border are the barrier to guard Chu. They can only be loyal to The emperor on the dragon throne.As for these poor people, the emperor knows that there are people struggling in poverty, and he also knows that there are always dark places in a huge dynasty, but all he can do is try his best to be a wise king and make the people's lives easier.

When they came back from outside to see Mrs. Cheng, they dispersed. They spent a lot of energy today, and no one had the energy to do anything else.

When Lu Hanzhi returned to Chengyuan, Cheng Junze was walking in the yard with his child in his arms.Lu Hanzhi came back from outside and was so cold that he didn't dare to hold the child. He only said with some disapproval: "How can you hold the child out to cool down in the cold weather?"

Cheng Junze looked at Lu Hanzhi's tightly wrapped son, shook his head and said, "I don't know who this kid looks like. It's a cold day. He doesn't know how to warm himself up in the house and sleep. He has to come out to blow the air. If I don't take him out, he will I just screamed at the top of my lungs, and those who didn’t know thought I, the father, was bullying the child!”

Lu Hanzhi went over to look at his son. The little guy was not asleep, but he was wrapped thickly in the winter. His hands and feet were wrapped in swaddling clothes, and his own father protected him from the cold wind. The little guy was not cold at all, and he had big eyes everywhere. Looking at it, I wish I could go out for a run at a young age.Seeing his son's smart and cute look, Lu Hanzhi couldn't help but stretched out his hand to tap the tip of his nose. After running around outside in the cold weather, Lu Hanzhi's hands were cold and cold. He had walked around the yard a few times before, but nothing happened. The little one who wasn't cold was touched by his mother's cold hand, and he suddenly started to cry.

Seeing his son crying, Cheng Junze hugged the child and coaxed him in a familiar manner. He couldn't help but glance at Lu Han and said, "You go in and warm yourself by the fire. I'll come after I've coaxed the child."

It really made the child cry. As a mother, Lu Hanzhi still felt a little guilty. She wanted to take the child over and comfort her, but considering that she had just come back from outside, she better wash her hands and clean up first.By the time Lu Hanzhi had washed his hands and face, changed into homely clothes and came out, Cheng Junze had already carried Brother Chen back to the house, unwrapped the child's thick swaddling clothes and put him on the crib, and was sitting at the table waiting for Lu Hanzhi to eat with him.

Brother Chen still likes to stretch his arms and legs freely. He doesn't need to be bundled up when he returns to the warm house. The little guy can entertain himself happily without his parents having to worry about him at all.

"I heard that there is a new dish today," Cheng Junze added a bowl of tea to Lu Hanzhi, and the small kitchen brought the food, along with a burning charcoal stove and put the bubbling pot on it. Lu Hanzhi looked over. He blinked, "Is this a big pot of stewed goose?"

The maid who served the dishes nodded repeatedly and said: "Your sister-in-law went here to learn it. She tried it twice in the small kitchen before. It happened to be cold today and the eldest grandma had a busy day outside, so she made it and sent it to the prince and grandma. taste."

Lu Hanzhi mentioned it that day and told him about the small kitchen when he came back. After that, he was busy with various things every day and really forgot about it. "Goose stewed in a big pot over in Suzhou?" It's a common way to eat in Suzhou. Cheng Junze hasn't been in Suzhou for a long time, and he was in the army most of the time, but he has also eaten this dish, but at that time The war is not over yet, and Cheng Junze has no energy to pay attention to this.

Lu Hanzhi nodded, and while picking up the vegetables, he said, "It looks different from the way they make it in Suzhou. I think they have adjusted the way it is made."

The food in Suzhou is different from that in the capital. Although the taste is good, as a conscientious cook, your sister-in-law still made adjustments to the food in accordance with the food customs in the capital. The little maid put the last dish on the table. On the table, he said: "Your sister-in-law said that the prince and grandma will try it first, and if they feel it is not good, she will change it."

Winter is the best time to eat in a hot pot. The small kitchen also prepared some side dishes for easy cooking in the pot. Cheng Junze picked up a piece of meat that was perfectly stewed and put it into his mouth. He couldn't help but nodded and said: "It tastes good. You can try it too." taste!"

Lu Hanzhi tasted it himself and couldn't help but praise: "It's already very good. There is no need to change it. I said before that I would treat the princess to a big pot of stewed goose. I will have to invite her to come another day."

"Madam, do you want to invite the princess to come to the house?" Cheng Junze asked casually after hearing Lu Hanzhi mention it.

"Yes!" Lu Hanzhi nodded, "Now that the plum blossoms are in bloom, I can invite her to enjoy the flowers. But it's too cold, so there's no need to run outside. Didn't we add two plum blossoms to our yard? The same goes for viewing flowers at home. of."

Cheng Junze had no problem with Lu Hanzhi inviting his friends to visit his home. He just said, "Princess Princess probably doesn't have time recently. Duke Anguo's family is going to be divided recently!"

"Family separation? Why is this?" Lu Hanzhi was a little surprised. Although it is natural to separate the family when the children and grandchildren grow up, under normal circumstances, the elderly prefer to have children and grandchildren living under the same roof for several generations, so they usually do not separate the family when the elderly are around. .And there are still two young masters and two girls in Duke Anguo's mansion who have not yet married, so it is not time to separate their families.

"I don't know much. I only heard that the prince insisted on dividing the family. An Guo Gong originally didn't agree, but he finally agreed. Yesterday, An Guogong requested that the prince inherit the title, and today he invited the clan elders to come and preside over the division. Family." The Cheng family and the Yu family are also family friends, and Cheng Junze is more familiar with Yu Qingrui, but privately I feel that the prince is not someone who would not even want a brother for the sake of the title. I just feel that this matter always has a strange feeling.

Lu Hanzhi also found it strange, but although she was on good terms with Princess Qingyun, she actually didn't know much about the Yu family. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "I'll ask Princess Qingyun another day."
