Chapter 160:

It depends on my mood It was because he was not good enough that the prince placed his hope on Xiao Jingshen.

Xiao Jingshen had talent, and he would have the opportunity to be taught by Zhu Xuntao himself.

In this way, Xiao Jingshen had a great chance of success.

It was not easy to cultivate a talent, even if he could not compare with Zhu Xuntao, the prince would not be picky.

What's more, the prince had other plans.

Xiao Jingshen could be considered as half of Zhu Xuntao's apprentice.

When he promoted Xiao Jingshen, if Xiao Jingshen encountered any problem that he could not solve,

he would have to ask Zhu Xuntao, his sister-in-law and master, for help. Would Zhu Xuntao have the nerve to not help?

He asked Zhu Xuntao for help, and with Zhu Xuntao's greed for money, he would have to spend money to avoid disaster.

If Xiao Jingshen went to find Zhu Xuntao, whether Zhu Xuntao accepted Xiao Jingshen's money or not was their business and had nothing to do with him.

The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Jingshen was a suitable candidate.

He decided on the position of Minister of Revenue for Xiao Jingshen!

"Don't worry, Prince, Jingshen will do his best and will never disappoint you."

Xiao Jingzhan, who was still happy that his brother had a chance to come to the fore, did not realize that the prince was just wielding a sword to attack Pei Gong.

Zhu Xuntao was a woman, so it was inconvenient for her to serve as an official, and she herself did not seem to have this intention for the time being.

So the prince made a conscious plan and chose Xiao Jingshen.

Zhu Xuntao, who was being plotted against again, sneezed:

"The weather is getting colder day by day."

Life without air conditioning and floor heating is not easy, but fortunately there is a kang to make do with.

Qiuyue was content:

"It is cold, but now the room of the Crown Prince's Concubine has both a charcoal tray and a warm kang..."

This is much better than when she was in the Zhu Mansion.

"That's right."

Zhu Xuntao put her cold little hands on the heater to warm them.

Thanks to the good environment in ancient times, the use of wood was quite limited.

Otherwise, there would not be so much firewood and charcoal for people to keep warm in winter.

"How is Uncle Qian doing?"

Zhu Xuntao was very happy to know that Uncle Qian bought a good piece of land next to his small farm to build a house.

Zhu Xuntao knew about it first because the land was hers, and it was in the dowry given to her by the Sun family.

That's why Zhu Xuntao gave Uncle Qian a very reasonable price, and Uncle Qian was so happy that he said he was lucky recently and

met good people. He

was sent back to the capital by those guards before, and he felt safe and at ease.

This time, when buying land to build a house, they gave him such a cheap price, which meant he was going to be lucky.

Qiuyue was also happy for Uncle Qian:

"Uncle Qian is following the instructions of the Crown Princess and is going to build a big tiled house with three courtyards made of green bricks."

"When Uncle Qian gets married, Auntie will just have children. No matter how many children he has, this house will be able to accommodate them."

"That's good."

Zhu Xuntao was worried that Uncle Qian was thrifty and didn't know how to spend the money.

"Crown Princess, please don't bring up the old things with me."

"If I don't build a house or buy a house, I will rely on you for the rest of my life."

"The Crown Princess has a place to live. You can't let me be blown by the wind and exposed to the rain."

She didn't want to leave the Crown Princess.

With her own house, Qiuyue felt uneasy and always felt that she could not stay with Zhu Xuntao.

Qiuyue insisted, so Zhu Xuntao simply converted the money for buying the house into cash and asked Qiuyue to keep it in the box for saving old money.

Qiuyue is Zhu Xuntao's maid, so she naturally learned many of her habits from Zhu Xuntao.

"Qiuyue, what day is it today?"

Zhu Xuntao was so busy that he almost got confused and couldn't remember what day it was today.

"Crown Princess, today is the sixth day of the first lunar month."

Time flies so fast, and in more than twenty days, it will be the Chinese New Year.

This is the first year that the Crown Princess has spent after marrying into the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.

"It's the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month?!"

Zhu Xuntao was shocked and slapped his forehead anxiously,

"Qiuyue, send someone to send a message to Uncle Qian right now, and the preparations I arranged for him to make can start."

The sixth day of the first lunar month, it's already the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month!

Fortunately, fortunately it's not too late.

It can be seen that Zhu Xuntao is really anxious this time. Qiuyue ran out without saying a word.

When the guards in the mansion heard that it was the news that their prince's wife was going to the small manor, the guards rode the fastest horse in the mansion without saying a word and rushed away.

This was something Xiao Jingzhan had ordered long ago.

Everyone in the mansion, especially the guards who participated in the martial arts competition, must treat Zhu Xuntao's words as his own and execute them quickly.

After Uncle Qian received the news, he hurriedly followed the previous arrangement and sent the message out using the method of pigeon delivery.

"Princess, Uncle Qian sent a message saying that he has made all the arrangements according to your wishes."

"That's good."

Zhu Xuntao's anxious expression faded a little.

"They say we should be prepared for danger in times of peace, but when we are used to a good life, it is easy to forget about danger."

Qiuyue asked:

"Princess, is there any danger?"

How come she didn't notice it.

Zhu Xuntao looked through the glass window at the sky outside that was beginning to darken:

"Qiuyue, look at the weather, is it going to snow soon?"

The heavy snow on the eve of New Year's Eve caused countless families to be destroyed...

Qiuyue shook her head: "Princess, how can I read the weather? That is a skill that only the emperor's officials have."

Do the people of the Qintianjian have this skill?

That's not necessarily the case.

At this time, the officials of the Qintianjian were anxiously looking back and forth at the emperor and the prince,

fearing that they would offend them by saying something wrong.

He couldn't afford to offend either of them. Once he made a mistake, it would be a serious crime that would cost him his life.

"Father, this matter cannot be delayed. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible."

The prince was more anxious than anyone else.

He knew there would be a snowstorm, but Zhu Xuntao had never mentioned the specific day before.

Finally, he got the answer, so how could he delay any longer.

Zhu Xuntao had just sent a message to Uncle Qian, but the prince knew about Zhu Xuntao's movements before Uncle Qian.

The prince and Xiao Jingzhan trusted Zhu Xuntao very much, so they had reason to believe that

Zhu Xuntao had entrusted all the arrangements for food to Uncle Qian.

If Uncle Qian made any move, it would be the time for the snowstorm to come. I

'm afraid the snowstorm will not take more than ten days to come.

Thinking of these ten days, the prince became extremely anxious.

The emperor did not speak for a long time, and he was out of sync with the prince's anxiety.

The more the emperor acted like this, the more the people of Qintianjian dared not say anything.

He had not calculated any major snowstorm, but the prince said that Master Mingdeng had calculated it and asked him to check the weather to see if there would be such a danger.

How do you describe the weather?

If Zhu Xuntao were here, she would say that most of the time, a certain forecast is accurate, but there are many times when it is

predicted to rain, but whether it will rain or not depends on God's will.
