The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 496: Important matters forgotten previously

 When we arrived at the main courtyard, the eldest princess and Prince Consort Du were both there.

 Two people were sitting on a kang, with a little kid lying inside.

 The two of them were teasing the children while chatting about the Tang family.

Not many people are talking about the cancellation of Qin Yuyu's wedding. Tang Zhixing unexpectedly survived, but he has been lying on the bed, unable to even get out of bed.

 Everyone knows that this marriage cannot continue.

Du Wan quickly got on the kang, "Father, mother, how are you doing, eldest brother?"

 “Read it yourself.” Consort Du handed the letter to her.

Du Wan took it and opened it, "Dad, don't you have to go to the Yamen?"

 “No need, you can rest now.”

Originally, the yamen was supposed to have a holiday a few days ago, but it was still busy with official duties, and with the continuous disasters and the emperor's attention, the yamen officials had to work overtime, and everyone complained.

 In the past, none of these Beijing officials were pampered. It's just that the emperor didn't regard them as human beings and wanted to work all of them until they vomited blood.

Du Wan opened the letter and read it word by word.

This is the first letter home written by Du Qian. It is several pages long. The description of the disaster is not very optimistic. It will take some time for him to come back. At the same time, he also said that he might not be able to return home for the New Year.

Du Wan complained, "Uncle Emperor, there are so many officials in the court, why do we have to ask my eldest brother to provide disaster relief?"

"There are a lot of officials, but not many are trustworthy to your uncle. This time, he doesn't want anyone to take advantage of any of the money he took out. Think about it, there is really no one in the court except your eldest brother." Du Fuma He was also not satisfied with the emperor's decision.

Since Prince Consort Du became an official, he rarely participated in the affairs of the clan.

Du Qian is the unofficial next leader of the clan, and it is impossible for him to become an official in the court.

 Because of the eldest princess, he can have a title and just be an idle county king. But judging from the emperor's current intention, he insists on recruiting people from his family to work as cattle and horses.

　　Du Prince Consort looked at his daughter who was still ignorant and sighed in his heart. The emperor was not a human being. He didn't even let his daughter go. He actually asked her to make money for him at a young age. He probably wanted to train her to become a money bag. And this girl hasn't realized this yet, and it's hard for him to expose her at the moment.

Du Wan really didn’t know her father’s dilemma, so she read the letter again.

“Wanwan, has your entertainment newspaper stopped?” Du Huima suddenly asked.

Du Wan raised his head and asked doubtfully: "There will be the last issue before the year, why do you suddenly ask about it?"

The eldest princess suddenly smiled and said: "Maybe he heard something strange and provided you with gossip material."

 “What’s weird?” Du Wan became confused as soon as she heard this.

Du Prince Consort thought for a moment and said: "Today there is a place outside the city, and a lot of snakes appeared on the road. Isn't it weird in this winter?"

 “It’s really abnormal.” Snakes usually hibernate.

Du Wan looked at Du Wanma, his expression was not as simple as just gossiping.

Du Huima added: "Not only that, I also heard that the dogs raised in some colleagues' homes have been very irritable since last night, and so are the dogs in our house."

"this-"

Du Wan's heart suddenly shrank.

 That’s right, it’s not a good thing!

grass!

  She had been thinking about it before and seemed to have forgotten something important.

 Yes, it’s a very important thing!

earthquake!

　　That day in the peach grove in the suburbs, she clearly wanted to come, but then she somehow forgot about it. Du Wan slapped her forehead and said, "Father, I'm afraid there's going to be an earthquake."

 “Earthquake?” Du Consort was stunned.

Du Wan said anxiously, "The earth moves and the earth dragon turns over."

The eldest princess was shocked, "Wanwan, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Du Wan didn't know how to convince her. "Didn't my father feel it for a long time? This will definitely not be the first time."

"How sure are you?" Du Consort stared at her and asked.

Du Wan rubbed her face and said, "What are you sure about? Has there never been an earth dragon turning over in the Qin Kingdom? Are there various strange phenomena a few days before every earthquake? Animals are better than humans They are more sensitive and can detect the coming disaster in advance." Both the princess and Du Consort were silent.

 What is recorded in the history books is also recorded in the classics of the Du family.

Du Wan added: "It's only two or three days, parents, we have to be prepared."

"Okay." Prince Consort Du immediately put on his boots and said, "Let's go to the palace for my father."

After saying this, he took a leather cloak and hurried out. As he walked back, he asked Du Liu to send someone to quickly go and notify the clan.

The clan should not know about it now, otherwise they would not have told him.

Du Wan's scalp went numb when he thought of an earthquake coming. You must know that the earthquake in the book was not light. According to the description, there were landslides and ground cracks in some places, causing countless casualties.

  Did not stay too long.

Du Wan left the main courtyard and went directly to see Uncle Su. When he went there, he also saw other members of the Su family. Su Che was also present. "I have seen the princess, and I want to pay my respects to the princess."

 “Okay, no need.”

Du Wan interrupted their salute and immediately said to Uncle Su, "Go and write a manuscript immediately. It's a natural phenomenon and an earthquake is coming."

 “Princess, is this true?!”

 The Su family present were surprised.

This God, will you still let people live?

Su Che's heart was also shocked, "Father, you'd better write quickly and I'll grind the ink for you."

 “Okay.” Uncle Su went to find paper and pen.

 The whole family was sitting on the Kang, but they didn't feel cold at all.

　　Seeing that Du Wan was not leaving, they all silently made way for her.

Su’s mother came over and took over Su Che’s job of grinding ink.

Su Che went to pour a cup of tea for Du Wan. These tea leaves were given to him by Consort Du before. Du Wan took them after thinking about it.

Su Che asked softly: "Princess, do you want to wait until the manuscript is finished to apply for a room?"

"Yes. This matter cannot be delayed." Du Wan glanced at him and did not hide anything.

 It was quiet next. Su Che wanted to say something, but finally didn't open his mouth.

Du Wan lowered his head and looked at the tea in the back. There were green leaves floating on it. It was fine tea. "My father is willing to give you his favorite tea."

 “The prince consort is a good man.” Su Che said some words of wisdom.

Du Wan smiled and said, "That's right, my whole family is a good person."

 Su Che: “…”

 Fifteen minutes later.

Uncle Su finished the first draft. Du Wan read it over, pointed out a few things that needed to be revised, and copied it again. She took it and hurried away.

 The Su family was left in silence for a while.

Su Mu broke the silence, "What should I do if the earth dragon turns over?"

“There should be instructions from the government, we just need to follow them.” Uncle Su whispered.

Su Che said: "Father, I need to tell my second uncle and his family. In addition, it's best to pack all the important things. The mansion may let everyone stay outside the house."

“How can you live outside in such a cold weather?”

 “But it’s better to be cold than to die.”
