The rebirth of the demon concubine

Chapter 54

"Miss, this is this month's account, please check it." The housekeeper handed over this month's account book to Huo Zhixin, and now Huo Zhixin was able to handle the handling of the Fuchu Zhongfei with ease.Huo Zhixin took the account book, looked carefully at the food in the account book, raised her head and asked, "Housekeeper Wang, you are also an old man in the house, after you see that the food in the village is harvested in the autumn of the year, will you keep it?" Have a lot of surplus food?"

"Back to Miss, the crops in the village have been harvested quite a lot these past few years, and there is a lot of food left every year." Steward Wang replied respectfully. These days, Huo Zhixin's ability has been recognized by everyone in the house. Huo Zhixin After pondering for a while, he said, "Then where did the leftover food go?"

"Miss Hui, some of the leftover food from the past was either sold in the shop or donated in winter when the Chinese New Year is approaching." After waiting for so long, Huo Zhixin finally got the answer she wanted to say.

"It's better to advance this year's donation. This year's floods will cause a large number of refugees outside the city, so let's advance the donation." Huo Zhixin's suggestion, the housekeeper frowned, and suggested: "Miss, this... the old slave who is in charge of giving has no objection, but Now the refugees outside the city are too chaotic, in previous years, when giving alms, the madam would go there, but this year...Miss, if you go, these victims are still sick, it is too dangerous."

Huo Zhixin thought about it, didn't these high-ranking families in Beijing always give alms to increase their reputation?But when I think of my mother, Mrs. Bai, she often said: "Good things are rewarded with good things."

What goes around?Huo Zhixin remembered Bai's death for a long time and couldn't forget it for a long time. Seeing that Huo Zhixin was silent, the housekeeper looked up at Huo Zhixin who was in a daze. In the past few days, there must have been a lot of refugees at Ganzhao Temple. Although the imperial court also provided relief, there were too many monks and too little porridge. After all, there is still a lot of food to be transported to places in the south of the Yangtze River that are really suffering from floods!"

"Miss is very right, this old slave will arrange it." After the housekeeper retreated, Huo Zhixin weighed the small account book with her hands, and breathed a sigh of relief. In the thoughts of her previous life, many aristocratic families gave food one after another.However, when a large-scale epidemic broke out among the refugees on the outskirts of the city, everyone stopped giving alms, and finally a large-scale riot broke out.

Sure enough, driven by Marquis Pingsu, many aristocrats in Beijing transported grain to Ganzhao Temple, but compared to Huo Zhixin's low-key way of transporting grain to Marquis Pingsu, some other aristocratic families showed great fanfare and gave porridge well It became a competition for these nobles, and the ox carts full of grain were transported to Qianzhao Temple one after another with the emblems and flags of each family.The sensation caused even His Majesty today was alarmed, and he even praised some of the exaggerated ministers.It is this trend that continues to spread, and even in addition to transporting a large amount of food, there are also various meats to attract His Majesty's attention.

"Xin'er, Daddy asked you something." On this day, when Huo Zhixin and Huo Zhengting were halfway through their meal, Huo Zhengting suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "How much food do we still have in the house?"

"What's the matter?" Huo Zhixin also put down the bowls and chopsticks, feeling like a mirror in her heart, Huo Zhengting must be jealous seeing his colleagues around him being rewarded by the Holy Spirit.

"No, no, I just see that there are more and more refugees outside. If you can get food, you can get more." Huo Zhengting said that he was also a little guilty. He knew that the Pingsu Hou Mansion had been revived in the past few years. Yes, in terms of background, it is not as good as those old nobles.

"In fact, there is food, but Dad, how long do you think this situation will last? At least until this autumn, the problem of refugees will not be resolved." Huo Zhixin helped Huo Zhengting analyze, "How long can those people last? This is crazy How long can the grace of transporting grain last? Even if new grain comes in autumn, it has to be planned for next year, who can be sure that next year will not change?"

When Huo Zhixin said this, Huo Zhengting was also silent, why didn't he think of what his daughter thought of?Moreover, please ask your majesty to keep an eye on it, if there is not enough successor, who knows what will happen with your majesty's unpredictable temperament?

"You're right, it's Daddy being reckless." Huo Zhengting's words of bowing his head and giving in made Huo Zhixin secretly startled. Huo Zhengting could even bow his head and admit his mistakes to his children in some aspects, which showed his character, and he had underestimated him before.But it's no wonder, otherwise, in the previous life, how could he step up to the position of the head of the country step by step in the end?

The hexagram of the day's secret made Huo Zhengting pay more attention to Huo Zhixin, and he was more open to let Huo Zhixin make his own decisions, and when he discussed with Huo Zhixin, he had an inquiring attitude.Thinking about it, it was not only because of the prophecy that his daughter might be the mother of the world in the future, but also because he wanted to test his own ability.After all, there is another saying called "Man will conquer the sky". If he keeps making fools of himself, maybe Huo Zhengting will have other plans, such as setting up another Huo Zhiyun like in his previous life?

And how could Huo Zhixin do what he wanted?Huo Zhixin showed a considerate smile to Huo Zhengting, and said: "In winter, father will marry a new mother to come in, and then he will have to take care of it in various ways. Unfortunately, my daughter is still young, so these things are not clear..." Huo Zhixin turned the topic to marrying Regarding Yu Fengjiao's matter, Huo Zhengting listened to it and listened to it seriously. Although he was marrying his heir, the formality should not be too big, but Duke Jing'an loved Yu Fengjiao so much, and if the formality was too small, it might cause Duke Jing'an's dissatisfaction.

"Daddy, Erniang's health has gotten better recently, why don't you let Erniang take care of it?" Huo Zhixin's question made Huo Zhengting a little uncomfortable. That woman from the Su family is becoming more and more inappropriate. The last time she made such a big mess in Duke Su's mansion, There is no sign of introspection at all, and I know to cry to myself every day.Did she think that her crying could still arouse his pity?
"No need, your second mother still needs to rest and recuperate. I will find someone to help you with this matter." Huo Zhengting slapped the top of the table. Huo Zhixin had a look of regret on her face, but she couldn't help laughing in her heart. In my ears, I am afraid that I will lose my temper again.

Someone from Su's side will tell her that Huo Zhengting vetoed this decision today, and Huo Zhixin has other things to do today.After Huo Zhengting left, Huo Zhixin ordered: "Come here, arrange a carriage, I want to go out."
