Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 104

Just as he was thinking about it, Nan Yan hurried in and reported, "Girl, my uncle is here and is talking to his wife in Haitang Courtyard."

Shi Anxia's eyes lit up, "Let's go, let's go too."

The pale color of flying snow is falling one after another.

A group of people were walking in the twilight. The woman surrounded by them was wearing a white fox fur with a dark blue satin brocade coat underneath. Half of her face was hidden in a pure white rabbit fur scarf.

A big black dog walked forward beside the woman with steps that he didn't recognize.

Mother Liu watched from a distance and asked the maid next to her, "Do you think that's the eldest lady?"

Shuxiang crouched and quietly walked closer to take a look, then came back and replied, "It's the eldest lady. Judging from the direction she is going, it should be Haitang Courtyard."

Mother Liu pouted proudly, hmm, are you anxious? It was useless to consult my wife all night long to discuss countermeasures! A mouthful of saliva and stars cannot drown you to death.

When Shi Anxia arrived at Haitang Courtyard, Tang Chujun was angrily complaining to his brother, "It must be Wen Huiyi who spread the rumor! My Xia'er was splashed with dirty water for no reason, and she is supposed to get married next year, but what should I do?"

"Mother! I won't get married next year, so don't worry." Shi Anxia walked into the flower hall with a smile and saluted Tang Chuyu, "I've met my uncle!"

Tang Chuyu is Tang Chujun's half-brother, and Shi Anxia's uncle. "Xia'er sent the letter, but because of rumors?"

Tang Chujun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his daughter had written to invite his brother here. He immediately answered anxiously, "Of course it is! Brother, please think of a way."

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Mom, I have more important things to tell my uncle, not this trivial matter."

"A trivial matter! How can this be a trivial matter!" Tang Chujun's voice was sharp and urgent.

Tang Chuyu raised his eyebrows, feeling that the little girl he once was was back.

Ever since she got married and had a child, the younger sister has been depressed towards everyone. When she was little, she was clearly lively and impatient.

Shi Anxia walked over and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, mother, I will deal with the rumors. I really have urgent matters to discuss with my uncle."

Tang Chujun then picked up the tea cup and held it in his hand, "Oh, then you say, don't worry about me."

Shi Anxia and Tang Chuyu looked at each other and smiled, inexplicably seeing an irresistible doting in each other's eyes.

Shi Anxia started talking about business, "Uncle, you know that Mr. Yang Xuan is in the Hou Mansion, right?"

Tang Chuyu nodded, "I know."

"Mr. Yang Xuan calculated that the snow disaster occurred in Yucheng, Zhangzhou. If rescue and relief are not provided in time, Yucheng will be destroyed in less than a month."

Tang Chuyu frowned, "Do you believe this too?"

Shi Anxia said, "I would rather believe that it exists than not." She looked serious and her eyes were solemn, "Uncle, this is a good opportunity for you to make contributions to the court."

Since the beginning of winter this year, there has been rare heavy snowfall in Beijing for several days.

Snow-covered roads and inconvenient transportation have made food scarce in many places on the outskirts of Beijing, causing large fluctuations in rice prices.

Tang Chuyu is the Minister of Household Affairs, so he knows this very well. Not only that, he has just promulgated rice price control measures within the capital.

Shi Anxia knew that the situation in Yucheng, Zhangzhou, a hundred miles away, was even more serious.

Since the beginning of the month, there have been several consecutive heavy snowfalls and hailstorms, making the snow three feet deep on the flat ground. Not only the birds and animals froze to death, but also most of the cattle, horses, pigs and sheep.

Several rivers flowing through Yucheng were completely frozen, causing ships to stop sailing.

The roads were too thick for people to walk on, let alone carriages.

As a result, there was a shortage of food and clothing in the entire Jade City, and looting occurred. The people were short of food and clothing, hungry and cold.

Finally, on New Year's Eve this year, the snow disaster crisis broke out in Yucheng.
