Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 223
"What are the arrangements in the palace now?"

Yinzhen said: "Go through the process."

Yinzhen didn't want to talk about the things the princess did. Speaking of which, her own life was forfeited by her. Li Shi was well restrained. She even provoked her when she was pregnant. She was not afraid to wear barefoot. Shoes, a life for a life.

The Crown Princess drowned, and Mrs. Li probably wouldn't live for two days.

Thinking of the process, Yinzhen sighed: "I guess I'm going to be busy these few days."

After all, she is a princess, she is disgraceful, but outsiders don't know, the face of the royal family has to be taken into account.

This time, Zi Yuqing Palace was completely messed up.

The death of the crown princess is a major event.

Mrs. Li didn't think she could hide it, so she was locked up soon.

The prince never thought that he was interceding for these two women, and he was displeased by Kangxi for this, but what happened?
It's a good thing for others, self-injury and killing, both sides will suffer, and they will go to Huangquan hand in hand.

In this way, it seems that he is not a human being inside and out.

If I knew it earlier, I might as well have dealt with it in secret, at least I gave Yinzhen and his wife an explanation.

The prince really regretted it to death.

Kangxi did not expect such a result in the end, so he can only say that it is really a cycle of karma, and the retribution is not good!
Of course, seeing the decadence on the prince's face, Kangxi also felt distressed. After all, he was deeply touched by the death of his wife and felt uncomfortable.

After calling the prince over to comfort him, Kangxi was relieved when he saw that he seemed to be able to bear it.

The funeral of the crown princess was kept simple, but even so, Tong Cheng'er was busy for several days.

After the crown princess was buried, the weather in the capital became colder and colder.

Tong Cheng'er gave Yinzhen the newly knitted woolen sweater, muttering: "This winter seems to be colder than previous years. The snow has been falling for two whole days. If it doesn't stop, the road outside will be a little bit colder." Can't go."

Yinzhen finished the woolen sweater, and recently couldn't help showing a smile: "Who knows how long it will last, this woolen sweater is very beautiful, thank you for your hard work."

Tong Cheng'er looked at the very ordinary woolen sweater and felt that there was something wrong with his eyes: "You don't think it's ugly."

Yinzhen hurriedly said, "It's not ugly, it's not ugly."

It was snowing heavily outside, and the house was burning with charcoal, but it didn't feel cold at all. The two of them spoke softly, which was very warm.

One night passed, and the next day Yinzhen got up and put on the woolen sweater knitted by Xiao Fujin, and looked at the sky outside, it was still snowing.

Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng: "Has it snowed all night?"

Su Peisheng nodded: "It hasn't stopped, it's been down."

Yin Zhen frowned when he heard this, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, he looked at the untreated part of the door, with this thickness, it might be bad.

Tong Cheng'er woke up, seeing that it was still snowing outside, she couldn't help worrying: "If it continues like this, nothing will happen!"

Yinzhen was also worried: "Let's have a look again!"

After breakfast, Yinzhen went on a business trip, and as soon as he left the gate, the carriage couldn't move, the snow was too thick.

There was no one to deal with the snow on the road.

There was no other way, Yinzhen had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk over.

There was a charcoal fire in the carriage, but there was none outside. Once outside, even though he was tightly wrapped, Yinzhen still felt pain in the face from the wind.

When they got to the place, Yinzhen felt that he was about to freeze, it was too cold.

When he arrived, there were still many people who did not come, and it seemed that they were all stopped on the road.

It was almost another hour of incense sticks before officials from the Ministry of Officials came over one after another.

After returning home, Yinzhen still walked back. When he first arrived at Yaocheng Courtyard, he saw Xiao Fujin standing at the door of the house, and Yinzhen hurried over: "Why are you standing at the door? It's so cold, hurry up!" go in."

After finishing speaking, Yinzhen took her hand, and when he touched it, it was still warm.

Tong Cheng'er entered the room with him, and said in his mouth: "I don't think you haven't come back at this hour, so I can't help but look at the door."

Yinzhen explained: "It's snowing outside, the carriage can't be used, I walked back."

Tong Cheng'er looked at him like this, and said: "It can be seen that he walked back."

This body of snow can't fool anyone.

After entering the room, Tong Cheng'er quickly took off his cloak, then handed it to Ruxue, and brought him to the charcoal basin: "Come and bake."

Yinzhen stretched out his hand, held her hand, and started a fire on the charcoal basin.

There were several charcoal basins in the room, and the temperature was already high, and the two of them felt warm after a while.

Yinzhen felt that it was almost done, so he took Tong Cheng'er's hand and left the charcoal basin.

Tong Cheng'er: "I forgot just now, you walked all the way back, your feet are fine!"

She was mainly afraid that his shoes would be filled with snow, which would melt when exposed to heat, and it would definitely be uncomfortable in winter.

Yinzhen: "The feet are fine."

He wore moccasin boots, which were warm, waterproof, snowproof and windproof.

"It's good that there's nothing wrong with it. I don't know when the snow will stop. If it keeps falling like this, it should affect normal life."

Now the carriage can no longer move, and the weather is cold. If this continues, drinking water will be inconvenient. The wealthy family is fine, but the life of ordinary people will be difficult.

Yinzhen thought a little deeper than she thought. If the snow continued to fall like this, it would not be as simple as affecting normal life. He thought of the snow disaster.

The wind was heavy and the snow was heavy, and the houses of the wealthy family used blue bricks, which were stronger and could survive, but most of the peasants built houses with thatched huts, which were not very windproof and snow-proof.

Then it's a matter of survival.

Yinzhen may be born with this kind of consciousness of worrying about the country and the people, and it seems that he is not in a good mood.

It snowed all night again, without any tendency to stop, Yin Zhen frowned as he watched.

Before going on business, Yinzhen said to Su Peisheng: "Send someone to check if there is any sign of collapse in the houses of the nearby farmers. If there is, come and report."

Su Peisheng: "Yes, master."

It has been snowing heavily and the weather has been cold recently, and the officials from the official department came later one by one.

Yin Zhen looked at it and could only sigh.

Because of the inconvenience of traveling, Yinzhen could only eat at the official department at noon. When he returned home at night, Su Peisheng came to report: "Master, you have made the investigation come to fruition. There are indeed many farm houses near the capital that collapsed and froze to death." There are also many lonely and widowed old people.”

Yinzhen's heart sank when he heard this.

What he was worried about happened in the end.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still.

"What measures can the officials in charge of the relevant yamen take?"

When something like this happens, the imperial court will spend a lot of money as disaster relief every year to prepare for unexpected disasters. In this case, the relevant yamen should take action.

Su Peisheng: "Without any action, if someone's house collapses, he can only consider himself unlucky. As for the unfortunate one who was frozen to death, he can only consider himself unlucky."

Hearing this, Yin Zhen frowned even more.

"Send someone to investigate again, and invite An Linyu over."

Su Peisheng: "Yes."

Seeing him coming back, Tong Cheng'er was unhappy: "What's the matter, what happened to the official department?"

Yinzhen shook his head: "Nothing happened to the officials, but if the snow keeps falling like this, something will happen."

In modern times, the place where she lives belongs to the interface between the north and the south. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. She has never encountered floods or snow disasters. Coupled with modern facilities, she has no idea about snow disasters.
