Chapter 463: Survival in the Cracks



Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows.

She hadn't seen her since the last incident, nor had she asked about the follow-up.

I heard that she went to see Meng Min a few more times, but Meng Min didn't interfere and just gave her some silver and jewelry.

She is a smart person. To her, interests are far more important than face. So even if she knows that she doesn't care, she won't leave any handle on things like bowing. If she suddenly stops bowing, there must be something wrong.

She asked casually when she got back.

Wei Bo went to the Prince's Mansion to ask, and came back with a smile: "I didn't expect that this third girl is a talented person. She found a good marriage for herself."

It is said that after the last time, Yan Ronghua "ran into" Princess Shouning while burning incense, and then he frequently visited her. Then, Princess Shouning introduced her to a good marriage, that is, Pan Lan, the younger brother of the imperial concubine Pan Yun. If the princess was involved, the two families quickly exchanged engagement letters, and it is said that they even set a date.

You must know that it was only Pan Yun himself who was demoted to a commoner, not his family.

A consort is usually a bastard son of a large family such as a royal family, a duke's family, or a marquis's family. The same is true for Pan Yun. So, it means that she is about to marry Pan Lan, a bastard son of a marquis's family.

Yan Shiyue simply didn't know how to evaluate this person.

...

...

You could say she was not smart, but she was really good at calculating, and she knew that the enemy of my enemy was my friend. Princess Shouning probably hated her to the core, and the two of them quickly became friends after they had scolded each other.

But if you say she is smart...how obsessed is she with the "high-class family"?

Even if she couldn't borrow the power of her and Meng Min, she was still the granddaughter of the royal palace. The wealth of the entire third house was not a small amount. If she married a little lower, she could choose carefully and pick someone with good character. It was not difficult. It was as easy as pie. With Meng Min's attitude in mind, her husband's family didn't have to worry about offending Princess Fu Yan or anything like that by marrying her.

But she insisted on surviving in the cracks, and would rather stand in the position of an enemy in order to get herself a marriage with a rich family. What was she trying to achieve?

You know, even the Queen was kind to her. No matter how much Princess Shouning hated her, she had to bow obediently when they met. She didn’t even dare to give her an inappropriate look. She???

never mind.

She chose her own path, so she just felt emotional about it.

Knowing that she was not determined to deal with her, Yan Shiyue quickly put the matter behind him.

Most people who treat typhoid fever use Xiao Chaihu Decoction, which contains only seven basic herbs: bupleurum, scutellaria, pinellia, ginger, ginseng, jujube, and licorice.

Everyone at Jishidiang has been busy these days. Although the people living in the village are better off, some people have been infected with the cold.

Especially since the fire burned down several houses, there were even fewer places to live. Later, Yan Shiyue asked someone to buy thick cloth, and using the courtyard wall as a cover, he built something similar to a tent and covered it with straw.

Although it can protect against wind and rain, the air is not well circulated, making it easier to get sick.

Yan Shiyue hadn't been here for a few days. When he came this time, he saw a group of women helping to carry wood. Usually, this kind of work was done by men.

After entering the village, I saw a group of children learning martial arts in the open space in the yard. They didn't even do horse stance, but were just learning the moves and then fighting each other, sweating profusely.

Huo Qijing whispered to her, "I put Zhao Kuangyin on the farm as a disaster victim and let him do what he wanted. He picked some people from the disaster victims to take charge of the farm, and asked them to cut wood and build wooden houses. He also asked the children to practice martial arts, which helped them strengthen their bodies and not keep them bored in the shack. The farm is doing very well, and fewer people have been sick these days."

He paused and said, "This person has some skills. After some training, he can be put to use."

Yan Shiyue nodded and said, "I don't know when my elder brother will be back."

Huo Qijing shook his head and said, "I may not be able to return before the New Year."

The prince went to Bianzhou in a timely manner and handled the situation quickly, which helped to comfort the victims and control the situation. Later, disinfectant powder was sent there and was of great use. At least there was no large-scale outbreak of dysentery and cholera. As for other things, they had to take their time.

Fortunately, the breach did not occur in spring or summer, otherwise mosquito and fly bites would have been the real source of the disease. But just because it was not in spring or summer, the cold weather created a new problem.

Yan Shiyue sighed: "Alas!"

Zhao Kuangyin came over and saluted: "Your Highness, Lord Marquis."

The two nodded at the same time, and Zhao Kuangyin said, "My Lord, I want to take some people to hunt, is that possible?"

"Sure," Huo Qijing said, "Ask Fang Zheng if you need anything."

Zhao Kuangyin bowed and thanked me, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I want to ask you a question... How did you know that my nickname was Xianghaier? Why were you so surprised when you saw me?"

Yan Shiyue said calmly, "Because someone mentioned you to me. Just before you came in, I was talking to the Marquis about you. I didn't expect you to come in the next moment, so I think it's too coincidental."

Zhao Kuangyin was surprised: "Someone mentioned me? What did they say?"

Huo Qijing had already asked someone to check him, so Yan Shiyue said without blinking, "Because you wanted to bring your mother into my manor at that time, and you intimidated everyone with your force, so you could have entered, but you changed your mind halfway, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled embarrassedly.

Indeed, at that moment, he immediately saw through Princess Fu Yan's intention and remembered what those people had said before.

Then he sensitively sensed the right and wrong in this and felt that this was a good opportunity. He was no longer satisfied with living in the manor, so he withdrew and began to observe the behavior and words of Qian Dazhui and his gang, thinking of using this to find a place to settle down.

But unexpectedly, before he found a good opportunity to surrender, His Highness had someone take him in.

He thought he was the oriole, but he didn't realize that he was at best a praying mantis. He observed others and his own behavior was already seen by others, but he was completely unaware of it.

Zhao Kuangyin was impressed and bowed respectfully: "Zhao Kuangyin will serve your majesty till his death."

Huo Qijing nodded: "Go and get busy."

Only then did he retreat.

The two of them inspected the manor house, and Huo Qijing said, "If the weather gets colder, ginger soup and strong liquor will be useless. We should think of a solution."

Yan Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "Do you know about cave dwellings?"

Huo Qijing's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean..."

"It's not a cave, it should be called a cave? Digging a cave to live in, at least there is a place to hide, let's get through this winter first."

Huo Qijing thought for a while and said, "It should be possible. It rarely rains in Chang'an in winter, so it won't be a big problem if it snows. If we leave a hole on top, we can make a fire and cook... We can change the porridge distribution to rice distribution for these people..."

As the two were discussing, they saw Ding Xiaoyan riding over at a very fast speed, and hurriedly said, "Master! Master! Something bad has happened!"
