Coming out of the old lady's yard, Wen Ye stopped Wen Zhi who was anxious to go back, "Brother, mother is right, we should all listen to our third sister-in-law. If she says we can take a walk, then we can."
Wen Zhi had a lot of grievances to express. He was just worried that his wife would suffer, but his mother made it sound as if he was abusing his wife.
He just wanted to go back to see his wife, but his second brother stopped him and told him all this. Wen Zhi felt bitter.
Prime Minister Wen patted him on the shoulder, and Wen Jing also had an expression that said, "Brother, you are not virtuous enough," which made Wen Zhi even more helpless.
Wen Zhi returned to the yard feeling extremely aggrieved. Madam Wen had originally been teasing her husband, and now seeing her husband being scolded by her mother-in-law, she still felt a little guilty.
When Wen Jing returned to the room, Murong Shu immediately gossiped with her husband about her eldest brother. Wen Jing smiled when he heard it, and seeing his wife smiling so happily, Wen Jing knew that it was Murong Shu's doing.
"Eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law have always had a good relationship. Could it be that it was Shu'er who came up with the idea for eldest sister-in-law to go to mother to complain?" Wen Jing asked Murong Shu with a smile while helping him take off the hair accessories on her head.
Wen Jing was not sure at first, but after he came back and found that Murong Shu was so active in gossiping with him, Wen Jing became more certain that it was his wife who gave the idea to his sister-in-law.
"Shu'er just couldn't bear to see her sister-in-law being restrained, so he gave her a little idea." Murong Shu said a little embarrassedly.
"Your little idea has caused great harm to my eldest brother. Mother almost chased him with a stick and beat him. When he returns to the yard and figures out all this, he will come to settle the score with me."
"Is my husband scared?" Murong Shu asked deliberately.
"For my wife, I am not afraid of anything." Wen Jing kissed Murong Shu on the forehead.
"If she comes to settle accounts with you, then Shu'er can just go and complain to mother." Murong Shu's words made Wen Jing laugh, and he began to sympathize with his elder brother. If his wife also went to complain, his elder brother would be even more miserable.
"Just let my brother go!" Wen Jing helped Murong Shu remove her hair accessories. Murong Shu was about to go wash up. Wen Jing had planned to go too, but Ting Feng came in to report that Miss Yueyue had secretly come to see him.
Wen Jing was also very surprised when he heard this. He didn't know what Yueyue wanted to ask him secretly at this time, but he didn't dare to delay.
After Wen Jing came out, he saw Yueyue sneaking around. As soon as Yueyue saw Wen Jing, she whispered, "Brother-in-law, here, keep your voice down. Don't let Senior Sister hear. Yueyue came here secretly."
Wen Jing was even more curious. What could have made Yueyue so secretive? "Yueyue, what do you want from your brother-in-law?"
"Yueyue is sending you something, don't let senior sister see it." Yueyue's mysterious look made Wen Jing laugh, and he even stuck his head into the room to take a look.
"Your senior sister went to wash up, so you can't see her." Wen Jing's words reassured Yueyue.
Yueyue handed Wen Jing a bottle of pills. "This was just delivered by Third Uncle today. You should take it on time every day. Look at Second Sister-in-law and Cousin, they both have children, but Senior Sister doesn't. You have to work harder."
Wen Jing almost choked on his own saliva. Ting Feng was stunned beside him. Miss Yueyue was too direct.
"Don't worry, Yueyue, I will take it on time every day." Wen Jing hurriedly took the medicine bottle, fearing that Yueyue would say something else.
"Then put it away secretly and don't let senior sister see it." After Yueyue gave Wen Jing instructions, she left quickly, fearing that senior sister would see her.
After Yueyue left, Wen Jing stood at the door for a while before returning to the room, took a pill given by Yueyue, put the rest in the study, and then went to wash up.
Murong Shu didn't know so many things happened while she was washing. In the days that followed, Murong Shu felt that her husband became more clingy.
A month later, Murong Shu received a letter from his master, Shan Gu Taoist. Shan Gu Taoist predicted that this year would be a cold winter, so he wrote to Murong Shu in advance.
After receiving the letter, Murong Shu notified several close relatives. He also asked Wen Jing to inform the emperor about this matter, and the emperor also asked the ministers to prepare.
A month later, heavy snow came.
The blizzard lasted for three days and three nights, and the price of charcoal in the capital skyrocketed. Mr. Rong listened to Murong Shu and stocked up a lot of charcoal a few days ago, which came in handy at this time.
Disaster reports came in from all over the country, and the emperor immediately issued instructions to local officials, but the disaster continued to develop out of control.
Refugees began to pour into the capital. After Murong Shu learned about the situation, he immediately went outside the city to distribute porridge and provide medical treatment. He also found Madam Wen and asked her to give away old clothes that were no longer worn in the mansion to the victims.
It was freezing cold, and the victims had been traveling all the way without enough food, and many of them fell ill. Murong Shu's free medical consultation helped many people.
The elderly, the weak, women and children were given priority, and Murong Shu also transferred some strong men from Fuqilai to help.
After discussing with Master Rong, Rong Yunnan directly sent the doctors and shop assistants from the pharmacy to help and provided medicinal materials free of charge.
Madam Wen was pregnant at home and couldn't be there, so she helped Madam Wen manage the affairs of the mansion, freeing up Madam Wen's time to help Murong Shu.
The food that Murong Shu used to distribute porridge at the beginning was all provided by the Wen Mansion. The second wife's family and the first wife's family were very grateful to Murong Shu. Seeing that Murong Shu had joined the disaster relief effort, they fully supported him and sent him food and warm clothes.
Princess Zhenshan not only sent a large amount of food, but also sent her maid Xiao Si to help distribute porridge.
On the day Murong Shu went to the free clinic, all the men in the Mu family, except those who were attending court, went to help.
Song Yanran also wanted to go, but was persuaded by Han's mother, but Han Mu went by himself.
Ning Xin and Cheng Zhi brought food, medicine and clothing from the Ning and Cheng families respectively to the scene for support.
Seeing that his granddaughter was not home every day, Marquis Anping felt very distressed. He thought that boys should exercise more, so he sent Shu Cheng and Shunian, and asked Madam Shu Er to deliver the grain in the warehouse to Murong Shu.
With the joining of the sons of the Mu family and the young masters of the Anping Marquisate, some aristocratic families also began to follow suit and join in. For a time, all the aristocratic families in the capital participated.
Wen Jing, Mu Siqing, Han Xu and King Zhenshan were personally in charge and first settled the victims. Then the healthy victims were divided into groups according to the organization and asked to do things within their abilities. Don't underestimate this labor force, they can really do a lot of things when used.
After the temporary shelters for the victims were built, the Rong family had people deliver charcoal, so that the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled could have charcoal fire, and women, children and young children could also have charcoal fire. The victims were very grateful.
In this disaster relief effort, the imperial merchant Rong family contributed the most money and effort. Murong Shu asked Yan Sheng to spread the word that any merchant who performed well in this earthquake disaster would be personally invited to a banquet by the emperor and awarded with plaques.
Although Yan Sheng was usually careless, he had his own network of connections here, so in less than half an hour, all the merchants in the capital had received the news.
That afternoon, merchants who came to deliver food, charcoal, and warm clothing almost blocked the city gate. Murong Shu asked King Zhenshan to arrange for people to register to prevent fraud.
