"Beautiful sister, are you really Brother Xuan's new wife?"

"Uh...it's true. Your name is Little Cricket, right?"

"Yes! I am a little cricket! But beautiful sister, then why do you wear boys' clothes?"

"This... of course is for the convenience of walking, little cricket, you really have a lot of problems..."

"Yes! Pretty sister, are you as good at making wild vegetable porridge as Brother Xuan?"

"I……"

……

I was also surrounded by a group of children who kept asking questions.

Su Liluo felt that all her good temper in this life and Su Li's previous life would be used up by these children.

Always keep smiling and talk to them in a sweet voice.

In the end, she had no choice but to turn her clear eyes to someone who had been watching the excitement and signaled him to come and rescue her quickly.

When Long Yunxuan received her distress signal, he smiled silently at first, then slowly got up and walked over.

"Okay, little cricket, the beautiful sister must be returned to Brother Xuan. You take your brothers and sisters to have wild vegetable porridge, okay?"

Long Yunxuan's words were very useful. The children, led by Little Cricket, stood up together and said with a loud smile: "Okay!" Then they all walked away at once.

"You've been hiding behind me all morning. Are you thirsty? Here you go."

Long Yunxuan handed a black ceramic bowl filled with water between his fingers to Su Liluo, lowered his eyes and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan..."

Su Liluo took the black porcelain bowl unceremoniously, and her green-white fingertips happened to touch Long Yunxuan's slightly cold fingers.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and in the next second they retracted their hands in unison.

Originally, her words of 'Brother Xuan' were meant to tease Long Yunxuan, but at this moment, it slipped through Long Yunxuan's heart like a feather, causing a strange light to flash in his lowered eyes.

Raising his hand to lift the hem of his clothes, he sat next to her.

The two people, who were relatively speechless, turned their attention to the busy villagers over there.

"Did you draw the drawings of these houses for them?"

"Ah."

Su Liluo only guessed based on the previous explanation of the blueprints to the villagers. Unexpectedly, it was true.

The more we get to know Prince Rui, the more surprising he becomes.

"These villagers don't look like ordinary refugees, so they are retired soldiers and their families?"

"Ah."

Long Yunxuan had long known that the woman in front of him was very smart, but he didn't expect that she could guess their identities just by quietly observing them working for a while.

"My lord, do you want to collect cash?"

"?"

"Why can't you say a few more words in one sentence? You can only skip one word after another!"

"..."

Long Yunxuan laughed out loud when she squeezed him like this.

"This king cherishes words like gold."

"Yes. You are the prince, and everything you said is right."

Long Yunxuan turned his eyes, looked at Su Liluo's obviously dissatisfied face, coughed, and said: "Princess, why are you secretly following this king today? Could it be that the princess is worried that this king is leaving the palace to meet someone?" A woman?"

"I……"

Su Liluo stuttered after guessing his original intention, and then said: "No! I'm just curious, that's all."

"Oh~~"

Seeing through but not telling, Long Yuxuan raised his thin lips and stared at Su Liluo's face that was obviously lying with a smile.

"So, why are the lives of these retired veterans so miserable?"

Su Liluo calmly changed the subject. This was indeed the question in her mind. According to her knowledge, the country should be responsible for settling all veterans and their families.

It is not the behavior of a qualified monarch to allow these people who have sacrificed their blood for the security of the country to have no fixed place and no one to rely on.

Although Su Liluo had only been in Dongling for a short time, she also knew that the King of Dongling, Long Yue, was a good monarch who loved his people as his son, and such a situation should not occur under his jurisdiction.

Long Yunxuan naturally judged from her serious expression and tone what she was thinking now.

He turned his eyes to the sweaty middle-aged men and slowly said: "They are all disabled soldiers who were injured on the battlefield and were unable to go to the battlefield again.

Although their father sympathized with them and gave them the opportunity and money to return to their hometowns to farm, many people's hometowns had suffered from floods, and even if they returned, everything would be unknown.

Therefore, they chose to stay in Duqicheng, hoping that they would have the opportunity to find a job in the city in the future, leaving the meager money in their hands to give the children a chance to go to school and change their destiny.

Parents have far-reaching plans for their children.

I can also understand their mood.

Unfortunately, what I can do to these veterans is very limited. "

State-owned state laws, family rules.

When Su Liluo heard this, she understood.

These people could have taken the retirement allowance provided by the state and returned to their hometowns to resettle their lives.

But in order to be able to provide for their children, they all chose to stay here.

The foot of the emperor has been the aspiration of the people since ancient times.

Who doesn’t want their children to live in the most central and prosperous place in the country?

However, now that you have made this choice, you have to accept such a difficult life where everything is difficult at the beginning.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough to meet a good prince who was in a high position but cared about the people.

After chatting for a while, Long Yunxuan was invited over and continued to explain the drawings for building a house to them.

Su Liluo heard more about the good deeds done by their Prince Rui from an old nanny.

Because the land owned by the palace is saline-alkali land, it is impossible to cultivate the fields and plant crops.

He then distributed all the fertile land under the name of his biological mother, the former queen, to the families of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, so that they would have something to rely on in their old age and money to settle down.

As well as his salary, he also donated it to the old, weak, sick, women and children who had no ability to farm, and he continued to do so for many years.

Su Liluo sat on the stone platform, looking at Long Yunxuan who was surrounded by the wounded soldiers and men. Her throat felt a little dry for no reason. She was actually moved.

That's why his Prince Rui's Palace was so poor. Except for the money that could support the basic life of the palace staff, he didn't have even one tael more.

Although Su Liluo used to donate to some orphanages, she was always very careful when accepting tasks, and it would not be enough for her clients to give her less money.

No matter how difficult the task is, as long as she signs the contract, she will get paid to do it.

But at this moment, she really felt from the bottom of her heart that although this cooperation with Long Yunxuan was destined to be a loss, there was no trace of reluctance in her heart.

Su Liluo looked around at the people around her. Although she was impoverished at the moment, she still faced life with a smile. She decided in her heart that she would really be the accountant of Prince Rui's Mansion this time, and she would also earn a lot more money. , and Long Yuxuan will help more people.
