The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 491 Du Qian is going out to provide disaster relief

 Zhenguogongfu.

 It is a high-end house, and the steps in front of the door are kept clean.

 There was a team of guards guarding both sides of the door.

 The Duke of Zhen Guo went to the military camp, and Pei Hao went to the Yamen.

Out of politeness, the brother and sister couldn't send something over without even meeting their elders, so they went to see Mrs. Pei.

Du Qian smiled the whole time when he met Mrs. Pei, was gentle and polite, could not find anything wrong, and made people feel comfortable in every move he made, showing that he was well-educated.

Du Wan was glad that her eldest brother came with her, so that she didn't have to deal with Mrs. Pei alone.

To be honest, she is not very good at socializing.

Mrs. Pei greeted the two of them warmly and thoughtfully, as if the festival between the two families had never happened before. She also asked with concern whether the eldest princess and Prince Consort Du were in good health, etc.

The two brothers and sisters answered all questions, and they actually started chatting like this.

The people from the Princess Mansion carefully moved the things on the carriage into the Zhenguo Mansion. Du Qian also specially asked people to carry them to Tingyu Residence.

After everything was done, Du Qian stopped lingering and stood up to say goodbye politely.

Du Wan stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Pei sent them to the door reluctantly, which made Du Wan admire her acting skills very much, but there was not much trace of acting.

 Perhaps it can be said that the ladies of these aristocratic families have been learning the art of respecting face since they were young.

After getting into the carriage, Du Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really tiring."

"Ah!"

Du Qian laughed sullenly, "Aren't you used to it?"

"It's okay." Du Wan knew that this situation would only happen more or less in the future. "I thought I could see Pei Hao when I came here, but he went to the Yamen. I haven't seen him so active before?"

"There is a snowstorm in the north. The court is discussing this matter today." Du Qian thought of what his father had told him before. "My father said that my uncle will give out a sum of money to provide disaster relief. I want you to publicize it well, and at least try to change the world's view of your uncle." view."

 “Is this useful?”

 “Do your best and obey the destiny.”

Du Qian remembered that Du's father had said not long ago that the Great Qin Kingdom might be able to be saved, as long as the emperor could remain as shrewd as he is now and nothing would happen.

Du Wan looked up and met Du Qian's complicated eyes.

This made her couldn't help but think more, "Brother, why are you looking at me?"

"I was just thinking, you've been so active all day long, so..." Du Qian's words stopped abruptly and he couldn't help but shut up. Previously, the elders of the clan had calculated that the fate of the country of Great Qin was about to end, and that the dragon's energy would be extinguished. Not long ago, he suddenly calculated that something had changed in Great Qin, and there was a glimmer of hope.

Du Qian didn’t really believe it before, but after yesterday…

Du Wan blinked her eyes and asked strangely: "What?"

“Why are you so capable?” Du Qian sighed.

Du Wan smiled happily and said, "Well, who can give me a big brother who loves me?"

 “Ha!” These words made people feel very comfortable.

Du Qian was happy.

But he didn't feel happy for long before he was called away by someone from the palace.

Du Wan went back to the princess mansion first. After meeting the eldest princess, he went to play with the little kid. Before she left the main courtyard, she heard another news. The candidate for this disaster relief was actually Du Qian!

"What?" Du Wan's face tightened, "Mother, is the news correct?"

The eldest princess frowned slightly, "There can be no mistake."

“Why did my uncle suddenly make this decision?” The news was too sudden and there was no warning. Going to the north to provide disaster relief in the middle of winter is obviously a hard job.

The eldest princess said, "We'll ask after they come back." Du Wan felt that this kind of thing would never be the turn of the advantageous elder brother, because there were many capable people in the court. Besides, the disaster relief work is not just for a day or two. The New Year is about a month away. If Du Qian goes to the disaster relief this time, he may not be able to stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year.

The incident was approaching evening, and neither father nor son came back.

Du Wan did receive a letter of thanks from Pei Hao, as well as a food box. He knew that the brother and sister sent things to the Duke's Mansion in the morning, so he wrote a letter to thank her.

In addition to her favorite snacks in the food box, the letter also wrote something about what happened in the court today.

　Because of the disaster relief issue, the main hall was noisy.

 I pushed one after another, but I didn’t want to go.

You must know that during this period, there were many disasters, and everyone was tortured. The emperor also had a knife hanging over their heads. If they did something wrong, they might lose their lives.

 Finally, Lord Ma, Minister of the Ministry of War, recommended King Rui.

Although Du Qian has not entered officialdom, he can be named a county king. How can he have no obligations? As long as the court needs it, he can go into battle at any time. Surprisingly, the emperor agreed.

So it happened that Du Qian was called away midway.

Du Wan couldn't help but have a conspiracy theory, because she had offended the Minister of War not long ago.

Ningqin asked worriedly: "What is the princess worried about?"

“Could it be that I have caused my brother to suffer?” Du Wan pondered this question.

Ningqin said, "No, it must have nothing to do with you. You are not qualified to participate in government affairs."

 “That makes sense.”

Du Wan didn't want to get into trouble and decided to think about what to prepare for her eldest brother, "How about we go to Huguo Temple again? Ask for a peace charm or pills or something."

Master Yuantong, who was far away in Huguo Temple, suddenly sneezed, pinched his fingers, and said enigmatically: "Recently, the poor monk has gained some enlightenment and needs to retreat for a period of time."

　　　…”

 It wasn’t until nightfall that the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.

 Father and son came back together.

 Neither the eldest princess nor Du Wan slept.

The family sat together and had a conversation, and then went back to rest. Du Wan learned from this that Du Qian did not refuse to go to the disaster relief, and said that he was named a county king and had to do something to live up to the title. She didn't quite understand what it meant, but she just knew that he agreed to go.

In addition, Prince Consort Du also agreed.

 The departure time is very fast, and we have to rush to the north the next morning.

Du Qian went back to the yard to ask his servants to pack things. The eldest princess also ordered someone to prepare some clothes. Du Wan had a headache. She had to leave in such a hurry. Her plan to go to Huguo Temple was ruined and she went to talk to Du Qian. When I arrived, I learned that he still had Master Yuantong's wound medicine on him, which made me feel a little more at ease.

 Looking at the red lanterns hanging under the eaves.

Du Wan said: "Brother, remember to send a letter back if you need anything."

"I know." Du Qian patted her forehead gently, "I asked my sister to take care of her at home."

"I will."

Du Wan felt a little sour in her heart, and was reluctant to say goodbye when she thought about it.

People are so strange, it’s not like they have never been separated before. But seeing that he was going to be away for several months, I just couldn't help but think about this and that.

 One night passed.

 Early in the morning, Du Qian led his team out of the city.

The money, food and other materials that the imperial court gathered this time were surprisingly fast. Some well-informed people learned that the emperor took out millions of silver from his private treasury to provide disaster relief. There was no need to go through the treasury, no approval, and no need to come with a group of officials. Waffling is a waste of time.

　　Then Du Wan went to the newspaper office and changed the headlines of the entertainment newspaper for the next day.
