MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince-Chapter 499 On the eve of the earthquake

Chapter 499 The eve of the earthquake

"What are you doing here at the Hubu Yamen?" Du Prince Consort looked at Pei Hao and said.

Pei Hao said respectfully: "Father-in-law and son-in-law are just like them."

After saying that, he took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Prince Consort Du with both hands.

Du Prince Consort took a look and saw that he wanted to temporarily borrow a thousand military tents for the families in the military camp.

Without asking any more questions, Prince Consort Du approved the note and stamped it with his official seal, "Okay, take the note and go get it. Be careful when you get it. If you pass it by hand, it's good. If it's broken when you return it, you'll be considered the original one." The future son-in-law of an official will still have to compensate according to the rules."

 “What my father-in-law said is absolutely true.”

Pei Hao took the note seriously and thanked him again.

　　Du Prince Consort looked at his silent daughter next to him again, "Where is Wanwan?"

"Me?" Du Wan came to her senses in a daze, "Mother asked me to take you home."

  “…” Du Huima was stunned.

The people nearby who pricked up their ears to listen were quite surprised.

The princess's house behaves very strangely. Usually when the elders don't return home at night, the ones who come out to pick up people are the brothers of the family. It will never be the girl's turn. No matter how bad the eldest princess is, she can still send a bodyguard. As a result, a group of colleagues looked at Prince Consort Du in a strange way.

　　Du Prince Consort was very calm and smiled as he called his daughter to his side, "Then you wait for a while. After my father explains the matter, I will go back home with you."

"Okay." When Du Wan said this, he noticed the invisible Su Che beside him.

Su Che was lowering his head to record something, checking the number with others, and then put the backup copy of the receipt away. Not to mention, a man who is serious is quite good-looking, especially when the other person has outstanding appearance. She hadn't been watching for a while when a tall figure walked over and blocked her sight.

When she raised her head, she saw Pei Hao's peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if asking the princess what she was looking at?

Du Wan knew that he had committed this petty problem again, so he looked back at him openly, "Prince Pei, aren't you busy?"

"This is such a small thing, I don't need my son to do it myself." So, Pei Hao called Hu San, gave him the approval note, and asked him and Gu Li to take people to count.

Du Wan thought for a while, she really didn’t need him.

Pei Hao just stood next to her, still cautiously standing between her and Su Che. Even though he knew there was nothing between her and Su Che, he was still not happy.

Who makes the little girl be heartless?

　　Du Prince Consort quickly settled the matter and took his daughter back home. Pei Hao sent them out of the yamen and watched them quietly as they got into the carriage.

"Prince Pei, where are you looking at your husband's stone?" the left minister of Hubu said jokingly.

 Everyone present joked, "The prince has been looking forward to getting married for a long time. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. It will be soon after the Chinese New Year."

Pei Hao was not ashamed and said with a clear smile: "You all have wives and children. Do you still remember the hardship of not having a wife? Everyone can stand and talk without pain in the back."

"Ha ha."

"Hahaha…"

Pei Hao didn't take the prince's arrogance and joked with a group of officials, big and small. At the end, he also reminded, "It's better to work quickly, maybe the earthquake will happen tonight."

As soon as these words came out, the laughter became heavy.

 Everyone went to work quickly. Gu Li and Hu San led people to move the tents from the warehouse.

Du Wan followed Du Consort back home safely.

The whole family got together in the evening and warmed up around the fire pit in the tent. The child was sleeping soundly in the cradle nearby.

 The servants also prepared midnight snacks.

 Du Huma and the eldest princess each ate some.

When Du Wan saw the brazier, she wanted to grill the meat. Instead of using the barbecue utensil she had used before, she took a long bamboo skewer and skewered a piece of meat on the brazier to grill it. As a result, it was burnt by accident.

 It doesn’t matter if you throw it away or if you eat it.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "If you don't want to eat, just put it down."

“Mom, I thought my craftsmanship was pretty good.” “The ones you baked before were very fragrant.”

 “That’s right, I lack tools.”

Put the meat on the wire mesh and turn it over when the time is almost up. If you can't bake it in such a simple way, how bad will your hands be? However, Du Wan didn't have this kind of self-awareness, and thought she was very good at barbecue.

Reality slaps you in the face, it’s really not good.

Du Wan put the burnt meat aside, took another piece and grilled it again.

The eldest princess laughed and scolded, "You girl, you're wasting your meat."

"Don't waste it. Throw it to Da Mao later." Da Mao is a dog raised in the kitchen of the princess's house. Du Wan saw it when he was wandering around during the day, just to confirm whether the dog was really irritable and restless.

At the same time, Du Wan also looked at the well in the kitchen.

The water is turbid, and it looks more and more like an earthquake.

Now everything has been arranged in the house, and the servants are living in tents.

Du Wan grilled another piece of meat, "Father, does uncle also live in a tent?"

 “Yes, set up a tent, far away from the house.”

"That's good."

 In fact, Du Wan does not need to worry about many things because her elders are in front of her. Even if she does, she may not be able to do it with the appropriateness and meticulousness of her elders. It is better to just watch from the side and not cause trouble to others.

 This night, many people stayed up all night.

The same applies not only to the capital city, but also to the counties and villages surrounding the capital city. As long as there is something unusual, stay vigilant.

　　Some people didn’t believe it when it was first written in entertainment newspapers.

　　Once the imperial edict came down, not many people dared to take any chances.

Du Wan gave up the barbecue and meditated in the tent.

 Mother Wen and the two maids took care of the little kid, while the eldest princess and Prince Consort Du slept in each other's arms. It stands to reason that it is not impossible to set up another tent in the Princess Mansion, nor is it impossible to prepare a bed here. However, they should not take up too many resources and should set an example.

 In addition, it is also to provide care nearby before disaster strikes.

 One night passed peacefully.

 No one will go into the house unless there is something special.

The time when the earthquake will come is uncertain. Who knows whether it will be during the day. However, the kitchen is still in use, mainly to prepare some cooked food for the masters. The servants do not have this treatment and all have to eat dry food.

Du Wan looked at his father making tea on a charcoal stove and said, "Father, aren't you going to the Yamen today?"

"I won't go, as long as someone is on duty." Du Fuma would not say that an earthquake is coming. He doesn't know the magnitude of it yet. He wants to protect his family. "I don't know when the earthquake will come. On this day..."

 It’s so **** up!

Prince Consort Du rubbed his hands and roasted them on the charcoal stove. Then he poured a cup of tea and handed it to the eldest princess. He gave another cup to his daughter before it was his turn, "If I had known this, it would be better to go back to the clan. "

 “Isn’t it the same in the clan?”

 “It’s different.” Du Consort narrowed his eyes.

 What was the difference? He did not speak again.

Du Wan’s first thought was of the ancestral temple.

　　Du Consort suddenly said: "Wanwan, let's play chess with my father."

"I can not do it."

 “It doesn’t matter, you can learn.”

　　　…”
