Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The next day, when Yixiu woke up, she heard the guards who went to Jinxuan come to report that Guaerjia Gege and Li Jingui had both gone.

"Li Jingui?" Yixiu frowned, not knowing how Li Jingui got involved in this matter.

Jianqiu answered hesitantly, "I heard that she and Princess Guaerjia hanged themselves on a beam and died." It seems that when Li Jingui discovered that Princess Guaerjia had hanged herself, she followed her and died.

Yixiu sighed and said, "Then let's bury him with the Guaerjia family." Having a small grave as home is better than being a wandering ghost.

After hearing the news, Yixiu felt that her day was not going well for some reason. She frowned and asked, "Has Concubine Nian woke up? How is Concubine Qi doing? Has the prince returned?"

The Fourth Prince was sent by Emperor Kangxi to help with disaster relief near the capital. In recent years, the first snow came early and the last snow went late. Every year, the "late spring cold" could freeze many people to death. Natural disasters could not be changed, but man-made disasters could be avoided as much as possible. The Fourth Prince was the one who cared most about people's livelihood among the remaining sons of Emperor Kangxi. At least the Fourth Prince could ensure that the food and clothes exchanged for relief silver were delivered to the people.

To be honest, Yixiu felt that the Fourth Prince was very divided. He was very "Yongzheng" in state affairs, but was confused and not like "Yongzheng" when it came to the backyard.

Jianqiu didn't know that Yixiu had thought so much in an instant. While helping Yixiu wash and change clothes, she answered Yixiu's questions, "Nian Ce Fu Jin walked a long way yesterday. It was the blessing of Buddha that she was saved. Now she is still lying in bed and sleeping. I don't know when she will wake up.

Qi Shufu was also injured yesterday. The palace doctor said that she would have to stay in bed for a long time. I went to see her and found that Qi Shufu looked as if her energy and spirit had been drained away. She lay in bed with a haggard face and looked several years older.

The prince has not returned to the capital yet. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported to the emperor that there will be another heavy snowfall in the next few days. The prince will probably have to wait until everything is settled before he can return."

Yixiu also sighed. If the Fourth Prince didn't come back, all the affairs of the mansion would fall on Yixiu's shoulders, especially these difficult matters. She had to deal with each one immediately and she couldn't wait for the Fourth Prince to come back.

"Guaerjia is the daughter of Lord Guaerjia after all. Now that something has happened, we have to inform the Guaerjia Mansion. Jianqiu, you should go there in person and talk to Lord Guaerjia. Even if it can't ease the pain of losing his daughter, don't make him feel uncomfortable."

While the Fourth Prince is away, Yixiu has to stay in the palace and cannot leave. Besides, Guaerjia is still a criminal on the surface, so Yixiu cannot show up.

"As for Concubine Nian, wait until she wakes up and recovers, then I will go and explain the situation in person." Given Nian Shilan's current physical condition, she won't be able to see outsiders for half a month. By then, the Fourth Prince will definitely be back, and whoever caused the trouble will have to come forward to clean up the mess.

"The Nian family must be waiting anxiously. So, Huichun, take my badge and ask old lady Nian to come to the house to accompany Concubine Nian. It will also comfort Concubine Nian for the pain of suddenly losing her child." She hoped that with a brain by her side, Nian Shilan would get into less trouble.

"Concubine Qi has suffered an unprovoked disaster. Tell the palace doctor to get medicine from the storehouse and make sure Concubine Qi is well. First, raise her salary to that of a concubine. We can discuss the follow-up matters after the prince returns to the palace."

Yixiu stood outside the situation and had no idea what role Qi Yuebin played. She could only stabilize Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin and ensure that the two women would not die together before the Fourth Prince returned.

Speaking of comforting, Yixiu instructed, "Did mother give a lot of Nine Dynasties Tribute Glue during the New Year? Ask Randong to find it and split it in half with Huichun. No, more for Concubine Nian. No, split it in half and send it to Concubine Nian and Concubine Qi respectively. In addition, ask Randong to get some more medicinal herbs that Concubine Qi can use and send them over as well."

Split it in half. After all, Nian Shilan has a higher position. If it is not split in half, Qi Yuebin is indeed the victim, so it is better to split it in half, and compensate Qi Yuebin with more medicinal materials. I believe the Nian family is not short of them.

Speaking of the Fourth Prince, Yixiu began to worry about the Jiang family again. Jiang Chen has been paying attention to farming since he entered the government. With high-yield crops, it is difficult to get the people to accept them. Jiang Chen has been helping to promote agricultural crops over the years. Thanks to this, many people have survived the extremely cold weather in recent years with these crops.

Hearing that the Fourth Prince was going to help with the disaster relief, Jiang Chen also went with him, taking advantage of the Fourth Prince's relationship. Therefore, Yi Xiu still had to pay attention to the movements of Jiang Chen and the Jiang family.

"Xiu Xia, pack up some more cold-weather supplies for the prince and uncle, especially prepare a few more cotton-padded clothes for uncle." Jiang Chen sympathizes with the poor and the weak. If he really feels sorry for someone, he would take off his cotton-padded clothes and give them to them. But how could Jiang Chen's clothes alone save the people affected by the disaster? Yi Xiu could only prepare more clothes for Jiang Chen.

Thinking of the hell on earth that she had seen through Jiang Chen's eyes, Yi Xiu felt even worse. "Xiu Xia, do we have any food left on our farm? If we can spare some, let's send it to the prince as well."

Xiu Xia calculated in her mind, "Over the years, the farm has been planting according to Lord Jiang's method and has accumulated a lot of grain. If the master wants it, we can get 3,000 dan (a dan in the Qing Dynasty was about 100 kilograms), but there is no way that all the grains are fine."

Yixiu's farm was originally for Yixiu's enjoyment. Whether it was the fresh vegetables and fruits served in season or the green vegetables that were out of season in winter, they all depended on the farm. If it weren't for Jiang Chen's guidance and Yixiu's habit of hoarding food, how could so much food be gathered?

"That's enough. It's all my intention." Yixiu nodded and didn't make things difficult for Xiuxia. But there were so many disaster victims in the world, how could it be enough?

Jianqiu knew that Yixiu was kindhearted and couldn't bear to see this, so she tried to divert Yixiu's attention, "Master, the Fifth Princess sent a note saying that she wanted to discuss something with you."

Yixiu was a little confused. The situation in the capital was not relaxed at the moment, especially the things happening in Prince Yong's mansion. Although they were kept secret, she could still hear some rumors. The Fifth Princess would not come to visit for no reason at such a tense time.

"Fifth sister, if you want to come, just let me know. The prince is not at home these days, and I am always available."

After arranging everything, Yixiu drank two cups of refreshing pear soup, and then she felt her throat was much better. "There is no peace and quiet these days."

Jianqiu couldn't help but say with concern, "Master, you have worked so hard. All the big and small things depend on your management. I see that your waist has become thinner again." In previous years, winter was a time for Yixiu to gain weight. Not loosening the waist size of her clothes was already Yixiu's greatest effort. But this year, Yixiu was worried about not being able to eat.
