Chapter 466 How can there be such a stupid god?
Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly put the silver needle back into the space.
It seems that I was overthinking it. How could everyone in the world be as ungrateful as Mrs. Feng San?
She hurried forward, bent down and helped a white-haired old lady up: "Okay, then I accept this generous gift, but if you continue to kneel, I will be angry."
"Come, Auntie, please sit down and have a cup of hot tea."
The old lady wanted to refuse, but Shen Wan had already helped her to the table.
At this time, other people in the post station also came out one after another.
Seeing Ranqiu holding something in his hand, Xie Murong hurried forward to make tea and pour water, while Li also enthusiastically distributed candy to the child.
There are mostly poor people in Lanyang City, and coupled with the high spending at the end of the year, they are reluctant to buy such good candies even during the Chinese New Year.
These candies were brought by Shen Wan from the Duke's Mansion. The children were surprised and delighted when they saw the colorful candies in various shapes.
They carefully put the candies into their pockets, and were reluctant to take a bite even though their mouths were watering.
"You are such a kind person, my princess!" The old lady took the tea with both hands, her eyes slightly red. "You are beautiful and kind-hearted. I think you must be the reincarnation of a god, right?"
When Shen Wan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Auntie, you are really good at talking. How can there be such a stupid god?"
"If I were a god, the first thing I would do would be to open up the road outside the city."
Upon hearing this, the people all laughed.
"Now that the New Year has passed, the weather will soon warm up. It won't be too late for us to take action after the snow melts." The old lady also laughed. "Princess, don't worry. We in Lanyang City don't have anything else, but we do have a few people with lame legs and rotten hands."
"When the weather warms up, I'll take my whole family with me to help!"
When the people heard this, they all echoed it.
"I'm going too!"
"We're all going!"
When spring comes and flowers bloom, the snow on the mountains will melt, and there will be no danger in clearing the road at that time.
Although they are a little greedy, they are not unforgivable criminals.
Especially in stark contrast to the third prince, they increasingly felt that this princess was truly wonderful.
When the people thought of the third prince, they became furious.
As a prince, he disregarded the lives of so many people for his own personal revenge. Is he still a human being?
If this unscrupulous guy really ascends the throne in the future, it will undoubtedly be the biggest disaster for the people of Wei!
At this time, Wang Qi, who was wearing a human skin mask, slowly walked over.
As soon as they saw "Chu Wei", the people immediately shut up and the scene fell into complete silence.
Although "Chu Wei" has done some good things recently, due to his previous actions, the people still cannot fully trust him.
In their hearts, this dog official is still an accomplice of the beast Chen Jiu.
"After the spring, if anyone wants to help clear the road, please go to the county government office and sign up." Wang Qi said calmly with a sullen face, "The government office will pay you."
"From now on, the same will apply to corvée labor in Lanyang City. As long as you work, you will be paid."
Anyway, most of Chu Wei's money was ill-gotten gains, so it's a good thing that he can use it for the people now.
When the people heard that they could get paid for working, their eyes widened in astonishment.
how so?
What's wrong with this crooked official?
According to Wei law, every adult must perform labor service.
As for wages, there is definitely none.
But even so, Chu Wei, the corrupt official, would be very harsh on their food, only giving them a bowl of rice porridge so thin that you could almost see a person's reflection in it for each meal.
Seeing the doubt on everyone's faces, Xie Mubai smiled slightly: "Then I'll sign up first."
"That won't do!" Wang Qi understood and deliberately refused. "My Lord, you are a wealthy man, how can you do such rough work?"
Xie Mubai disagreed and said with a smile: "What can't be done?"
"As long as the road outside the city is opened soon, it will be much more convenient for not only the people but also myself to travel."
Seeing him like this, Hu Dahai, Feng Er and others also agreed.
It's just moving stones, it's just a drizzle to them.
"Then I'll sign up too. I can cook for everyone!" Shen Wan smiled after hearing this.
Seeing that Shen Wan had signed up, the people also signed up.
Since the Crown Prince and the Princess are both willing to help, what else is there for them to hesitate about?
I originally wanted to ask everyone to go to the county government office to register, but everyone was very excited, so Wang Qi could only count the people on the spot.
The two servants who were helping out at the post station looked at each other.
They were born and raised in Lanyang. This was the first time they had seen such a scene in their lives.
In previous years, when the county government collected labor service, everyone would try to avoid it if possible, and if not, just get by.
But now, each of them looked as if they were afraid of being left out.
The two thought about it and joined the registration team.
This New Year's greeting really made Shen Wan very upset.
By the time Wang Qi finished compiling the list, it was already noon.
Shen Wan went back to her room and changed into a new cotton-padded jacket, then asked the villain to go and wish Xie Lian a happy new year.
We couldn’t have the New Year’s Eve dinner together, but we still had to pay our respects to each other this year.
As soon as she went out, she saw that Helian Bijun's door was slightly open.
Do you want to wish her a happy new year too?
No matter what, this woman is Xie Lian's savior.
Shen Wan thought about it and then stepped forward.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw Helian Bijun sitting alone by the bed, lost in thought.
Her face flushed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
When she thinks of something happy, she will lower her head and chuckle.
Shen Wan was a little confused.
What's wrong with this woman?
Did you go crazy just because you didn't see Xie Lian?
Thinking of this, Shen Wan immediately walked in: “What’s wrong with you?”
Hearing the sound, Helian Bijun raised his head suddenly.
When she saw it was Shen Wan, she immediately put away the smile on her face: "I'm fine."
It would be strange if nothing happened.
Shen Wan walked straight forward and looked at him carefully.
Suddenly, she saw a long gray hair on Helian Bijun.
Shen Wan's eyes tightened and she picked it up immediately.
Obviously, this is not Helian Bijun's.
Although she is old, Helian Bijun is still young and beautiful, with long black hair that shines.
This gray hair made Shen Wan suddenly think of someone.
"He's here?" Shen Wan's heart tightened slightly, and she immediately looked at Helian Bijun.
Helian Bijun wanted to deny it, but when she saw the long hair in Shen Wan's hand, she nodded reluctantly.
Seeing her nod, Shen Wan couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
It’s over. Maybe I really have to call Helian Changjun uncle.
The Duke of Zhenguo is really something.
It would be fine if he looked at Helian Bijun, but why didn't he even look at his own son and daughter during the New Year?
If the villain knew about this, he would definitely be sad.
It seems that this mother-in-law is really not worth having!
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, “We have discussed with Lord Chu that we will start clearing the roads when the weather gets warmer, and you two siblings will be able to go home soon.”
