Traveling through ancient times to survive

At this time, in the prefect's home far away in Yingzhou, Wang Yuan and his youngest daughter Wang Qiang were sitting opposite each other in the study.

Charcoal braziers are placed in the four corners and the center of the study, with burning smokeless charcoal to dispel the cold. The braziers are kept burning for twelve hours a day, so that when the owner uses the study, he can immediately enjoy the most suitable temperature environment without waiting.

"Qiang'er, are you sure the snowstorm will be over soon?"

It was still freezing cold outside, and the accumulated snow was like a stubborn lesion attached to the ground, refusing to melt. Wang Yuan still didn't quite believe that the snow would completely melt in a month, so he had to confirm with his daughter again and again.

"Dad, you've asked me many times. I remember it clearly. It was around the beginning of June. The temperature rose rapidly in just a few days. The snow melted quickly. The snow water gathered together to form a flood. Half of the city was flooded."

The girl in luxurious clothes leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looking unhappy about her father's distrust.

"Qiang'er, this is about the lives of our entire Wang family, so Dad has to take it seriously. I'll have someone send you the jeweled headpiece that you liked last time."

Wang Yuan spoke to comfort his upset little daughter.

"Really? Thanks, Dad!"

Wang Qiang was beaming with joy. She had wanted that set of jeweled headdress in her previous life, but unfortunately she failed no matter how hard she asked for it. In the end, it was given to her eldest brother's new wife.

"Qiang'er, what do you think about marrying the fifth grandson of the Minister of Revenue Chen family as your husband?" Wang Yuan mentioned his daughter's marriage as if casually.

"No! I don't want to marry him!" Wang Qiang's face changed drastically, and hatred flashed in her eyes. "He is a mean person with a ruthless heart. Dad, in my last life, I obeyed you and married him, but he ignored me for a lowly concubine and finally divorced me and sent me home."

In the previous life, due to a series of disasters in the capital city, six out of ten people died, and the Wang family was in chaos. His father was held accountable unexpectedly and his career was affected.

For the sake of family honor, my father married himself to Chen Jingzhi, the grandson of the Minister of Revenue in Beijing.

As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch, only a trap. There is a reason why a young man with a good family background and good looks has not yet married. Chen Jingzhi is a fool with a problem in his brain, and he is completely controlled by a lowly merchant girl.

For the sake of that bitch, Chen Jingzhi didn't even stay in the bridal chamber on his wedding night. As long as that bitch pretended to cry, Chen Jingzhi would torture himself severely.

The entire Chen family looked down on her and allowed Chen Jingzhi to bully her, and finally divorced her.

Whenever Wang Qiang thought of Chen Jingzhi, her heart was filled with hatred.

In this life, she has clearly changed the situation, the entire Wang family is prepared, and her father will not be trapped in the danger of the previous life, but her father still wants to marry her to Chen Jingzhi.

How could I step into the same pit in two lifetimes?

Wang Qiang didn't want to expose such a scandal in public, but suddenly she heard her father mention the marriage with Chen Jingzhi. She became anxious and could not care about anything else. She could only tear open the wound of her previous life, revealing the bloody inside, hoping that her father would give up the idea of ​​marrying into the Chen family.

"I never thought that the kid from the Chen family would be such a person. I'm sorry for wronging you in your last life. This time, I'll choose carefully and I'll definitely find a suitable husband for my son."

Wang Yuan looked shocked and angry, and looked at his daughter with a hint of heartache. Wang Qiang felt her father's love and calmed down. She said coquettishly, "Dad, I just want to stay with you and never get married. Together with my brother, I will be filial to you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl not get married?" Wang Yuan shook his head in disapproval. "Qiang'er, don't be afraid of getting married just because of the Chen family. The Wang family will always be your support. As long as Dad keeps getting promoted, no one will dare to bully my daughter."

"Dad, it's a pity that my daughter is useless. In my previous life, I was trapped in the Chen family's backyard and didn't know anything." Wang Qiang was both moved and guilty.

"That's wrong, Qiang'er. You reminded Dad that a disaster was coming and allowed the Wang family to make adequate preparations in advance. This is a great achievement."

After seeing off the happy Wang Qiang, Wang Yuan's face quickly darkened.

"Humph, it seems that the Chen family has some ulterior motives. Unfortunately, my foolish daughter knows nothing about the changes in government except for some major disasters. It's really a waste of a great opportunity to be reborn!"

Wang Yuan didn't believe at all that Chen Jingzhi was the kind of person whose mind was not clear as his daughter said. What about being blinded by the concubine? It was just that Chen Jingzhi had a grudge against the Wang family and didn't want to get on the boat of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, so he tried every means to divorce Wang Qiang. The fact that they were able to divorce successfully later showed that the entire Chen family had betrayed His Royal Highness.

In Wang Yuan's original plan, the Wang family should have married the Chen family with the help of His Royal Highness Prince Duan, thus binding the Chen family firmly to His Royal Highness's side.

It seems that this step will not work. Since the Chen family is unwilling, Your Highness should also see the duplicity of our Shangshu.

Wang Yuan put the matter aside for the time being, summoned his servants and ordered them to build a large ship in secret, and then went to the government office to order the entire city to clear the snow.

"Pass the order down. After half a month, not a single snowflake will be seen within a two-mile radius of the entire state capital."

"Yes, my lord."

The government officials of the prefecture rushed out to the outer city to bring the latest orders from the most powerful people in Yingzhou.

The man in yamen uniform kicked the door, and the old door shook and seemed to fall apart at any moment.

"Open the door! The master has ordered us to clear the snow inside and outside the city immediately. Do not disobey the order!"

The old man with white hair opened the door tremblingly, begging bitterly with a choked voice.

"Sir, my son was excavated two months ago and I am left with only my old wife and my ten-year-old grandson. We really can't help!"

As early as the beginning of spring, a road connecting the entire city of Yingzhou was dug. The order came so quickly and urgently that some people could not bear it and closed their eyes forever.

"Hmph, if you can't afford to send people, just send money!" The officer said mercilessly.

"There is no food left at home, let alone money. Sir, please be kind and leave a way for my family to survive."

The old man knelt down and kowtowed. The little boy who was hiding in the room heard the noise and, ignoring the old man's instructions before opening the door, ran to the old man, crying and pulling his grandmother. The man looked at the child carefully and came up with an idea.

"I feel sorry for you, so I will be kind and show you a way out. This snowstorm not only affects you, but also the nobles in the inner city. They are in great need of servants."

"No, no, no, you are the only child in my family, and you must not be a slave." The old man looked terrified and shook his head quickly.

"You really don't know what's good for you! If you don't see the person or the money tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude!" The man snorted coldly and continued to notify the next household.

The old man in the house was crawling on the ground, crying loudly. The little boy beside him hugged the old man, with tears in his eyes and a look of fear on his face.

"Oh my God, there is no way for us to survive."
