MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince-Chapter 553 This is a good thing
Chapter 553 This is considered a meritorious deed
Pei Hao and Du Wan followed Mu Si'an back home to welcome his bride.
We can’t get tired of being together when we go back.
Pei Hao wanted to greet the guests for Mu Si'an, all of whom were male guests.
Du Wan was taken to the female relatives by the maid when she entered the mansion.
She doesn't like to socialize with people she doesn't know, but when she meets anyone who comes up to say hello, she will smile and say a few words, and no more in-depth conversations will occur. Fortunately, I saw Qin Jiu and ran to chat with him. It was not so boring after all.
When the time comes.
The two girls went hand in hand to watch a newlywed couple's wedding ceremony.
It wasn't until the wedding banquet was halfway through that the groom had toasted, and then Pei Hao took the little girl out of the house. Before leaving, the little girl muttered goodbye to Qin Jiu.
Qin Jiu came here with his family, and when he left, he followed the carriage from the mansion.
Haven’t returned to the princess mansion yet.
Someone hurriedly came to report to Pei Hao, mentioning what happened in the palace.
Du Wan looked at Pei Hao questioningly.
Pei Hao said helplessly, "I asked someone to pay attention to the situation in the palace, and the person came to report to me that the queen asked to see the emperor. The emperor agreed, but when they met, they got into trouble."
"Is the queen making trouble, or are both of them making trouble?" Du Wan couldn't imagine how the emperor was making trouble. The emperor was always gentle and easy to get along with in front of her.
However, she has also seen his majestic appearance.
Haven't you ever seen an emperor quarreling with a woman?
Du Wan has long known that the behavior in front of others and behind others is usually different, and many people are used to pretending. For example, a person may be polite and polished in front of others; but behind the scenes, his room may be as messy as a doghouse and he is too lazy to clean it up.
Can’t think about it anymore, can’t think about it anymore!
Just thinking about it will make you disillusioned!
So, Du Wan had never been star-chasing on the Internet before.
Every time before you want to chase stars, think about those stars who are just like you. They have to eat and drink every day, so you can't worship them. At most, you just like the characters in the dramas.
Du Wan thought of the queen, "This matter is not over yet."
“Didn’t you hear that a verdict was passed?” Pei Hao vaguely received the news.
Du Wan glanced at him sideways, "The important thing is, I haven't decided what to do yet."
Suddenly thinking of something, Du Wan approached him and asked, "Do you think the commander of the guards will die? Now that he has been removed from office and imprisoned, will he have to die in the future?"
“If you don’t die this time, you should be able to survive.”
“He is very shrewd. Several other cannon fodders were about to die, so he picked himself out.”
"Didn't you say that he was plotted by that person? I guess this matter saved his life." Pei Hao was still somewhat sympathetic to him, so he couldn't help but add in a sigh, "He had a great future, but... Being dragged down by that person like this, after this incident, is equivalent to ruining your future."
“He is not without fault.” Du Wan saw the little thought of the guard commander.
Even she can read his thoughts, how can the emperor not understand?
Du Wan didn’t believe that Pei Hao couldn’t tell.
Pei Hao smiled meaningfully, "How many people in the officialdom are not careful at all?"
“Uh.” Can’t refute.
"This is human nature." Pei Hao whispered, "The only thing he was unlucky about was that the victim this time was the emperor. It was a fluke that he was not executed."
If it were a cautious emperor, it would be difficult for the commander of the imperial guards to survive.
Pei Hao's pity was that the commander of the imperial guard missed an opportunity to show his loyalty. You must know that if he did not stop the chief steward from sending people to the palace to ask for help, even if he violated the imperial edict on the surface, he would really fall in the emperor's eyes and win the emperor's trust.
After this incident, the biggest winner is the Princess Mansion. Secondly, there are those who stand firmly by the emperor's side.
Pei Hao also got a little glory this time. No, he became the commander of the guards.
Even if it is temporary, many of them are just working and becoming regular workers.
In addition to the position of Imperial City Secretary, he had previously set his sights on the position of Commander of the Imperial Guards, which was the third rank. Compared with the previous official position, this promotion is not even a little bit.
Pei Hao sent Du Wan to the door without entering the house.
Du Wan will go back to Yuling Garden first.
Ningqin asked: "Princess, do you still want to go to the palace?"
“I’ll go later.” Du Wan responded casually.
“Then do you still want to eat at the house?”
"want."
Du Wan thought of other things, "Did anything happen over there at the hotel and the farm?"
“I didn’t hear anything, let’s keep everything as usual.” Ning Qin thought of the entertainment newspapers in these issues. The headlines were about earthquakes and disasters in the north, etc. The sales volume was still very good.
Du Wan was not in Beijing last month, and the entertainment newspaper did not stop.
The reporting team has been laid down, and gradually, she no longer needs to keep an eye on him. Moreover, the content was screened by the Su family, so the selection was safer than Du Wantian's fearless guy. At least it won't remind people of the idea of assassinating her all the time.
Ningqin said: "The farm is busy now. Zhuang Cong is so busy every day that he has already moved to the farm. If he wants to see someone, he won't be able to see him for a while, so he needs to send someone to inform him in advance. Come back when you have time?"
“No need, let him be busy.” Du Wan trusted him.
Ningqin thought for a while and said, "I haven't been to the farm this year. I only said that the farm is very big now and will soon become a small town."
“What?” Du Wan was stunned.
“There were a lot of refugees taken in before. The imperial court sent them back to their places of origin. Only a small number of them received money and went back. Most of them chose to stay and work on the farm to open up wasteland and farm fields.”
“…They do it even if they don’t have any wages?” Du Wan knew that when he first took in the refugees, he only provided them with food, clothing, shelter, etc. There was no wage, so they were considered a very cheap labor force.
“Do it, why don’t you do it?”
Ningqin paused for a moment and then said, "Don't people get paid just to have enough food and clothing to survive? Working for the princess, they have food, clothing, and shelter. When they are sick, they have free doctors to look after them. You don’t have to worry about paying taxes, what are you afraid of if you don’t have any wages?”
Those who receive wages do not live as well as those who do not receive wages.
Du Wan’s lips twitched, “Is this contrast the only way to achieve happiness?”
"Yes, yes, that's it." Ning Qin repeatedly agreed, "I heard that there are still people looking for me every day. Some of them bring their families with them. I asked Zhuang Cong if he still accepts people."
“…” Du Wan couldn’t laugh now.
Ningqin added: "Zhuang Cong didn't want to take her in at first, but the prince-in-law asked him to keep her."
Du Wan understood immediately. After a while, he accepted a person from a small town?
Damn it, where does the food come from?
From Ning Qin’s mouth, Du Wan learned something.
Du Qian's fiefdom is almost at the point of building a city wall, and the project is nearing completion.
The construction period was much faster than expected. The main reason was that there was sufficient manpower. Du Shi was not short of money or food and did not care about the cost. This project alone could feed more than a million people.
In total, this is also a meritorious deed.
