In the Tai Chi Palace.

After reading Nuomi's letter, Emperor Huilin said, "What should you do with this matter?"

Lu Chen said: "I have been in Lin'an for three years, although it is rainy in spring and summer, I have never seen that the river in front of Baiweilou is at the same level as the road.

Erchen felt that the court should be sent as an imperial envoy to supervise the matter, and then officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households should be sent to check the embankment of the dam and resettle the refugees if there was a flood.

Many people in Baiweilou were separated from their parents when they were young because of the flood and had nowhere to go. If they think about it, they should have prepared early. "

Emperor Huilin said, "What about the imperial envoy?"

Lu Chen said: "I am willing to go with the Crown Princess!"

Emperor Huilin turned pale and said, "No, I will never let you go to that place again!"

Lu Chen thought for a while, and said: "The imperial envoy must have experience in the south of the Yangtze River and be familiar with the waterways and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. It is most suitable for the minister and the princess to go."

"No." Emperor Huilin would not obey Lu Chen in this matter.

He didn't want to experience the pain of four years ago again.

Lu Chen said helplessly: "Father, the lives and safety of the people in the south of the Yangtze River are more important. Lin'an is still upstream, and Yin County in the downstream has just been relieved for a few years. If it is flooded again, the whole city will be displaced again. "

Emperor Huilin said, "It's not that there are no people in the court, you should save yourself the trouble!"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is ordering you to bring you wontons."

Emperor Huilin said, "Let her in."

When Qiao Jinniang came in, she saw the unattractive faces of Emperor Huilin and Lu Chen, and put the wontons on Emperor Huilin's desk.

Walking to Lu Chen's side, he whispered, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen said to Emperor Huilin: "Father, I brought the Crown Princess back with me, and I will definitely protect myself and Jinniang, besides, Xi'er will stay in Chang'an."

When Qiao Jinniang heard that she was going back, it must be Lin'an. She missed it a little, especially at this time, when the bayberry on the tree should be red.

Moreover, the Baiwei Building in Jiangnan is still closed, and she actually has a lot of things to do in Lin'an.

But Emperor Huilin said: "You don't have to think about this matter, you two get back!"

Qiao Jinniang came out of the Tai Chi Palace and asked Lu Chen, "Why didn't the father allow you to return to Lin'an?"

Lu Chen was helpless, "It should be because he is afraid that I will disappear in Lin'an again."

Qiao Jinniang sighed, "I thought I could really go back and eat red bayberries, but this year there is a lot of rain in Lin'an, so the red bayberries may not be delicious, so it's better not to eat."

Lu Chen said: "However, the flood situation in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be delayed. Do you think about letting Qiao Lu go to Lin'an to experience it? I was also at the same age as he is now. He went to the disaster area and saw things that Chang'an can't see. It also has a lot to do with his experience. benefit."

Qiao Jinniang nodded and said: "But I think he can't do it alone, I can let him see and see, I have a good candidate, Xie Yun!"

Xie Yun's family is in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River this time, the loss of the Xie family will not be small, and he knows Jiangnan...

But when Lu Chen just returned to the East Palace, the secret guard came to report: "His Royal Highness, after you leave, His Highness Huai Wang took Princess Huai to greet His Majesty, and volunteered to go to the south of the Yangtze River to eliminate the flood situation and go to the disaster relief."

Lu Chen asked: "Father agreed?"

The dark guard nodded lightly: "Yes!"

Qiao Jinniang persuaded Lu Chen: "There's nothing good about disaster relief, it's tired and dirty, and I don't want to be separated from Xi'er yet."

What Lu Chen was more curious about was his elder brother who had always been tolerant, how could he volunteer to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the flood situation and provide disaster relief this time?

This was a thankless job, and Lu Chen didn't want to do it because he wanted to do it for the sake of the people. The main reason was that Qiao Jinniang and him still had a lot of unfinished business in Jiangnan.

Besides, at this time, Yangmei is ripe.

Although King Huai didn't know what's so good about investigating the flood situation and providing disaster relief, but he heard his father said that Lu Chen wanted to go, so he wanted to grab it. Moreover, if the investigation of the flood situation was done properly, he would gain the hearts of all Jiangnan.

There are many literati in the south of the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to winning the hearts of the literati. It just so happens that he can also take the opportunity to go to the south of the Yangtze River and help Xie Erlang seize the power of the Xie family.

...

In the afternoon, Lu Chen was approving the memorial in his study, and Qiao Jinniang was beside him doing calculations and calculating the amount of money. She has a lot of property in Lin'an, and some of her subordinates are also in Jiangnan.

She has to settle them properly, and she is even more afraid that the refugees will rob the property.

She had to write a letter in advance to make arrangements, and there was no shortage of silver taels that should be given.

"His Royal Highness, Miss Xie Yun is here."

When Xie Yun entered, he saw Qiao Jinniang who was at Lu Chen's desk, who was only thinking about calculations. She was still dressed in bright colors, but she added some royal lady's extravagance. After all, she was different from the little sister in his memory. little difference.

The little girl who always loved to watch him when she brought him pastries seemed like a lifetime ago.

Seeing Xie Yun's eyes, Lu Chen said coldly: "If you look again, I'll dig out your eyes!"

Xie Yun withdrew his gaze, saluted Lu Chen and said, "King Huai and Xie Erlang went back to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the flood situation. Has Your Highness heard about it?"

Qiao Jinniang saw that Xie Yun and Lu Chen must have important discussions, so she put down the abacus and the account book and said, "I'll pick up Xi'er first, and you can talk slowly."

After Qiao Jinniang left, Lu Chen warned Xie Yun, "If you dare to look at the princess like this again, Gu will definitely dig out your eyes."

Xie Yun said: "I treat Jin'er like a younger sister."

How could Lu Chen believe Xie Yun's words? As a man, he could see Xie Yun's thoughts clearly.

Xie Yun said: "If I really want Jinniang, then it will not be His Highness's turn to marry her. Since I didn't stop her before she got married at that time, I won't disturb her life anymore, unless Your Highness can't treat her kindly." she."

Xie Yun spoke very sincerely, just because she didn't want Lu Chen to misunderstand Qiao Jinniang, "She doesn't know what I mean."

Lu Chen could see Xie Yun's intentions when he was in Jiangnan. Hearing what he said, he said, "How could I not treat her kindly?"

Xie Yun said: "King Huai and Xie Erlang have reached a cooperation, what does His Highness think?"

Lu Chen handed Xie Yun a cup of tea and said, "Gu can also cooperate with you, but Gu needs the Xie family's ancestral collection of books."

The Xie family's enduring position among literati is because the Xie family has a collection of books that have been handed down for thousands of years, and there are isolated copies of ancient books. Lu Chen went to see them when he was in Lin'an, and many books are not handed down to the outside world.

Xie Yun frowned and said, "This is impossible."

Lu Chen said, "Prince Huai is willing to marry Miss Zhou Sisi and Fourth Miss Qin, so it is not difficult to marry you. What are two concubines Huai, wouldn't it be better to have three concubines Huai?"

Xie Yunping calmly said: "Lu Chen, I can help you a lot when you are in Lin'an."

"Everyone gets what they need." Lu Chen said, "You also taught me that merchants never do business at a loss, and now that the imperial power has become stronger, it is still the general trend. If you Xie family is strong, how long can you last?

It's better to give Xie's collection of books to scholars all over the world and get a good name, and brother Xie's talent and ability can also be worshiped by officials. "
