Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Wife

Qin Zhaozhao has lived here for two years, and now it is the end of the year without knowing it.

This also means that the day to leave Lingfengju has also arrived.

Qinglian lit the things she wanted to take away. Qin Changqing sat on a wooden stake in the courtyard and wiped the self-defense short blade Nie Feng gave him over and over again. He looked up from time to time and looked around, trying to imprint every plant and tree here in his mind. middle.

Qin Zhaozhao and Nie Feng stood under the eaves, watching the two people moving quietly in the courtyard, talking softly.

Nie Feng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the clear blue sky above the snow-covered mountains in the distance. Occasionally, birds spread their wings and flew diagonally past. Their tail wings brushed through the clouds and mist, making ripples on the clear blue screen.

His voice was as rich as the ancient bells that chimed in the morning and dusk in the temple, "When I go down the mountain this time, I will never go back to days like this."

Qin Zhaozhao chuckled, "You can't go back long ago, can you?"

Nie Feng was silent, then let out a long sigh. He looked at Qin Zhaozhao with eyes that seemed sad and worried, "Zhao, I still don't want you to put yourself in danger."

"In a prosperous place, there are more hidden things than you think."

"With my status back then, I couldn't escape from that place. How can you survive in that land of wolves, tigers and leopards when you are alone and powerless?" Nie Feng recalled the past events, all of which were filled with blood. Tears, why didn't he climb up from the mountain of corpses and linger on in the sea of ​​blood? Now he is the only one who can feel the same as Qin Zhaozhao.

Because of this, he was worried, "As you said, the situation of the Gu family alone is not easy." He looked at Qin Changqing, who looked back at them secretly from time to time, "Although Changqing is smart, he is still too young and energetic. .”

Qin Zhaozhao chuckled lightly, "If he makes a mistake, then I will bring him back to the right path. Helping him regain his home and get on the right path is also my way of resurrecting and paying tribute to the late Qin Zhaozhao. 'I swore it."

"As for being powerless..." The wind in the mountains blew over the fox velvet hood covering her head, revealing her bright and indescribable face. Her eyebrows were crooked, "Uncle Nie, what's going on? Isn’t that an advantage of mine?”

"The enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. As long as they don't notice my existence for one day, I can plan for one more day."

"The strong wind is about to rise, who will soar upward, and who will fall to pieces, everything will return to the grand scene, and we will know again."

……

Returning to the rough and empty courtyard house in Xinxiang, the three of them felt as if they had been there for a long time.

Qin Changqing looked at the weeds growing all over the ground that were almost half the height of a man, with a complicated expression, "Suddenly, I felt like I was back in a remote country again..."

Qinglian covered her lips and snickered, "It seems that the young master has been used to a good life and can't adapt to it all of a sudden."

Qin Changqing hummed softly, not caring about her joke.

He rolled up his sleeves, brought water and green lotus, and cleaned the house inside and out. Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly today, so the things he took out were dried in the sun in one day.

Qin Changqing went to the town to buy some food and bedding. After a busy day, it was already night when he looked up again.

Qin Changqing shook his arm. After returning from the yard to exercise, he saw Qin Zhaozhao sitting at the table thoughtfully.

"Sister, what's the matter with you?"

Qin Zhaozhao came back to his senses, "On the way, I vaguely heard pedestrians talking about the poor harvest this year."

"Azhao, when you went out today, what did you find out from the people on the street?"

Qin Changqing sat down and poured a glass of water. After hearing this, he thought about it, "There are really a few things."

"I heard that Chaisang has received continuous heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter this year, which buried several layers of it on the ground. The harvest has dropped by [-]% compared to previous years."

"And I don't know why, this year's taxation has been severe, and there were a lot of homeless people begging when I went to the streets. It seems that because of the poor harvest, all the employed people were kicked out, and many people have been displaced. Hay in the alley to keep out the cold.”

Qin Zhaozhao frowned, "Where is the county magistrate? Just watching helplessly?"

Qin Changqing snorted coldly, "That dog officer?"

"There was a new county magistrate here two years ago. I heard that since he took office, he has bullied the people into misbehaving. He has left the streets full of homeless people alone and posted notices looking for talented people."

"You can't see the desolation and misery on the street, but he still wants to have fun there? He is simply a beast worse than a pig or a dog!"

Qin Changqing clenched his fists, filled with anger.

Qin Zhaozhao thought for a long time and suddenly said, "Aqing, you go to the town to buy rice tomorrow."

Qin Changqing nodded, picked up the cup, put it in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "How much does sister want?"

Qin Zhaozhao said a number, but Qin Changqing's hand became unstable and all the water he drank spurted out.

He coughed violently and his face turned red, "Sister, you are going to open a granary."

Qin Zhaozhao laughed, picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, "What are you thinking about? I plan to spread out the tent and give porridge."

Qin Changqing felt that he was no longer young and was a little embarrassed to be treated like this, but he couldn't bear to refute her kindness.After hearing her words, his attention was immediately diverted, and he immediately started to slap the case——

"Okay! Great!" Qin Changqing was made extremely unhappy by what he saw and heard today. Now that he could do something within their capabilities, he suddenly felt motivated.

They haven't touched any of the money from two years ago.

Originally, I didn't need them at all. I thought that after returning to Beijing, I would have to go out to cover all the food, clothing and servants. I would save what I could.

Qin Zhaozhao has always been good at preparing for rainy days. Even if she is dealing with emergencies, she at least cannot be left with nothing.

Now is the time when it comes in handy.

After Qin Changqing finished getting excited, he realized other problems, "But where are we going to serve the porridge? If it's on the street, I'm afraid the people from the yamen will open the stall and drive them away..."

Qin Zhaozhao shook his head, "No, someone will solve these troubles for them. It's too late for them to be happy. How could they do such a thankless thing?"

She asked back, "Ah Qing, do you know why I want to give out porridge?"

Qin Changqing was stunned, "Of course I am helping those people..." As he said that, he looked at Qin Zhaozhao's unpredictable smile, quickly changed the subject, and added abruptly, "With my sister's wisdom, there is definitely more than just this plan. "

Qin Zhaozhao taught earnestly and seductively, "First, of course, it is to help those people who are suffering from hunger; second, we have been out of the public eye for two years, and we must leave a good impression on the people of Xinxiang in this short period of time; second, we have been out of the public eye for two years, and we must leave a good impression on the people of Xinxiang in this short period of time; Third, everything we do is waiting for one person."

Qin Changqing asked, "Who is it?"

Qin Zhaozhao said in a calm tone, "Those sent from Shengjing have the responsibility of supervising local areas on behalf of the emperor, and are responsible for assessing the duties of local officials at the end of the year."

Qin Changqing was stunned, "Supervisory censor? From Shengjing?"

He suddenly took a breath of air, "Isn't that a high official in the capital?"

"Only at the end of the year." Qin Zhaozhao frowned, "Every two years, local officials are sent to assess the performance of officials to determine whether local officials are truly fulfilling their duties in their positions. Finally, a report is prepared and reported to the emperor."

Qin Changqing was overjoyed, "Okay! In this case, those suffering people will soon be out of the sea of ​​suffering by the end of the year."

"Wrong." Qin Zhaozhao raised his eyelashes, his clear eyes gleaming with a strange light, "Do you think that those who can serve as officials are just people who simply let others find clues?"

"Ah Qing, I will teach you a lesson today, why a strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake."
