Zhu Lan said hesitantly, "You said there was a girl knocking on the door?"
Who is so bold? This is Zhou’s residence.
Steward Ding's forehead was covered with sweat. If the little girl wasn't so young, she would have thought it was caused by one of the masters in the family. "A little girl about ten years old, wearing very thin clothes, her hands were frozen purple, and she is now in the gatehouse."
Zhulan felt relieved. She was only ten years old. It was OK. It was OK. "Go get a doctor first. Aunt Song, you can go with her."
Mrs. Song: "Yes."
Zhulan looked at Zhao, yes, that was Zhao. When she said there was a girl coming to the house, Zhao was obviously frozen. When she heard it was a little girl, Zhao was relieved. Zhulan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhou Laoer had a mistress outside
No, Zhou Laoer has something in mind, but he doesn’t dare to do it at the moment.
Zhao felt her mother-in-law looking at her and quickly lowered her head. She thought too much about it because she had asked her husband several times about the smell of rouge on his clothes. Her husband explained that someone else was bringing the girl along when they were discussing matters, and she didn't want to think too much about it, but she just felt bad.
Who made her husband come into contact with all kinds of people? She was afraid that he would learn bad things. She also had her own lack of confidence, so she couldn't help but touch her belly, wishing she could still have a child.
Zhulan noticed Zhao's actions and sighed in her heart. Being injured and unable to have children has always been a pain in Zhao's heart.
Su Xuan spoke up, "Mom, the snow keeps falling and there's no sign of it stopping. Mom, let me donate some money."
Zhulan said: "Don't rush to donate, wait a moment."
Su Xuan, "Mother, I want to donate alone. I am a county lady with a title, and everyone knows that I have money in my hands, so I will not donate with the others."
Zhulan: "Okay."
Zhulan signaled her daughters-in-law to go back. Li sat still and said, "Mother, let me chat with you."
Zhulan did not expose Li's desire to watch the fun, "Okay."
Mrs. Song came back soon. "The little girl is called Deng Li, the daughter of Mr. Deng. She is ten years old this year and ran away from her mother's home."
Zhu Lan didn't believe it. "The road to the university is closed now. Although the road to the capital is not blocked, why did a little girl come to Jinzhou alone? She should have gone to Deng Xiucai, why did she come to Jinzhou?"
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "It should be a self-directed and self-acted scene. I have already seen it wiped off. Deng Li did not have frostbite on her body. It should be that the adults sent her here. Why didn't she go to find Mr. Deng? I guess Mr. Deng didn't accept her, so she took the opportunity to gain sympathy."
Zhu Lan frowned and said, "Send someone to find the person who sent Deng Li here."
Mrs. Song calculated the time and said, "It's a bit late to look for him now. He is probably out of Jinzhou City."
Zhulan knew it in her heart, "Let's go look for it."
"yes."
Li understood, "Mother, Deng Yun is at home. Should we tell Deng Yun?"
"No, if we don't find him, we'll send someone to take Deng Li back to the capital."
Li was stunned. "Mother, do you mean that Deng Li was the mastermind of today's play?"
Zhu Lan chuckled, "You reacted quickly today. Although I haven't seen this girl, I have heard a few words about her. The girl regretted leaving the Deng family, so she naturally put in a lot of effort to return to the Deng family."
Li sighed, "Mom, I'm going home first."
"Go ahead."
Mrs. Song came back quickly, "The people have already left the city, and the city gates have been sealed."
Zhu Lan was silent, so she couldn't send him out. "In that case, you can arrange for Deng Li to stay, and then tell Deng Yun. As for the others, I will leave now."
"yes."
In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and Zhulan told him about Deng Li. Zhou Shuren said, "Since she is here, just keep her. When the road is clear, let Deng Xiucai take her away."
"Well, what have you been up to today?"
Zhou Shuren said tiredly, "This heavy snow has been non-stop, and I feel uneasy. Fortunately, I prepared a lot of adobe bricks in advance, arranged for people to build kangs in empty houses, and relocated some people in dangerous houses. I was busy all day and ran all over the city."
Zhulan pressed Zhou Shuren's shoulders and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhou Shuren, "As long as the snow doesn't stop, this is just the beginning. Once the city is calmed down, we can welcome the refugees in the future."
Seeing that Mrs. Song was not in the room, Zhulan could not help but sigh, "Modern languages are better. Various machines are more efficient."
Zhou Shuren's head hurt even more when he thought of the uncleared snow on the streets. "Let's eat first. I didn't have a good lunch."
"good."
I made some nourishing chicken soup in the evening. Fortunately, I had prepared a lot of chicken jerky in advance. The Zhou Mansion had abundant supplies.
In the capital city, in the Zheng Palace, the emperor looked at the reports from various places and was glad that this year's heavy snow was not widespread and was much better than the heavy snow in previous years. But there was also bad news. The eastern border was unstable and an attack could be launched at any time. This heavy snow was an opportunity for foreign races, and he was even more concerned. The heavy snow and the outbreak of war would give people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and spread rumors to incite the people.
The emperor said to the prince, "I will send people to guard the supplies in the warehouse. You are responsible for resettling the affected people."
Prince, "Yes."
The emperor said to his second son: "I leave the security of the capital to you. Listen to me. I don't want to hear any rumors about the royal family's misconduct."
The second prince Zhang Jingyang did not dare to look his father in the eye, "My son must have protected the capital well."
The Emperor said to the third and fourth sons, "You two assisted Jing Yang, I know how capable you are. I didn't care about your quarrels before, but if rumors spread this time, haha."
The second to fourth princes shuddered. Their father was serious this time!
The emperor looked at Lao Wu and said, "Keep an eye on Yao Hou Mansion for me. If you can't keep an eye on it, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhang Jinghong's heart trembled. During his fight with Yao Wenqi, his brain and IQ had been growing. He always felt that there was something behind his father's words, and he didn't dare to guess what they meant. "Yes."
On the second day of heavy snow, even with preparations, many dilapidated houses collapsed. Jinzhou made preparations in advance and provided a place for the homeless to stay.
Zhou Shuren was just about to go to East City to take a look. Before he could leave the house, Yao Zheyu arrived. "Aren't you in charge of clearing the snow? Why are you here?"
Yao Zheyu said: "I am here to say goodbye."
"Go back to the capital? Is the road to the capital open?"
Yao Zheyu said: "Not yet, I will only take a few people back."
Zhou Shuren understood. Even though the carriage was blocked, those with good skills could still get back. Fortunately, the capital and Jinzhou were relatively close. It seemed that the emperor had summoned Yao Zheyu. He was tempted, "But are you going to be sent to the Northeast?"
Yao Zheyu was silent for a few seconds. Lord Zhou knew a lot. "Yes, the border is unstable."
Zhou Shuren's mind was spinning rapidly, so this time he was not only training Yao Zheyu, but also letting Yao Zheyu conquer the generals, "Your father wouldn't want you to go."
The war broke out when Yao Zheyu experienced it, which was what Yao Wenqi least wanted to see.
Yao Zheyu knew it in his heart. It was rare for Lord Zhou to say a few more words to him. He bowed and said, "Please take good care of me, Lord."
Zhou Shuren, "You're welcome. I'll pay attention to it."
