Showing off your talents?
Shen Tianshu looked in the direction of Mingyu's finger, and sure enough he saw Li Zian and Fan Yuru approaching on tall horses.
At this time, Li Zian also saw the carriage with the Shen family emblem on it. After seeing clearly that the driver was Qiu Jun, he knew that the person in the car must be Shen Tianshu.
He gently pinched the horse's belly with his legs, causing the horse under his hips to speed up.
Shen Tianshu arranged his clothes in the car, and then stepped out of the carriage with Mingyu's help.
After arriving at the carriage, Li Zian got off the horse.
"My daughter has met the Crown Prince." Shen Tianshu saluted.
"Miss Shen, there is no need to be polite." Li Zian felt inexplicably happy, "Why did you think of this place today?"
"My father ordered people to build a shed here to take in the poor homeless people. It was a kind act, but I heard that this place was burned to the ground because of a fire.
"If you want to heat the shed, you must light a fire. If you are not careful, good things may turn into bad things, so I was a little worried and came over to take a look."
Fan Yuru heard this and said: "Miss Shen, don't worry. In addition to the government office and water dragon team in Wuchang Mansion, the palace also has a special water dragon team. Since the incident in the west of the city, every winter, the palace will send more people to patrol the city, just to avoid Such a tragedy happens again."
"That's great." Shen Tianshu showed a light smile.
Li Zian stood aside and said nothing, but his eyes never left Shen Tianshu.
In the previous few meetings, Shen Tianshu always appeared as Mrs. Tong, always wearing a mask.
Li Zian recalled it and found that he seemed to have not seen Shen Tianshu's face for a short time.
Shen Tianshu is still wearing mourning for the Xu family. He is dressed in white mourning clothes and only has two plain silver hairpins on his head.
But now she is as young as a flower, and her face is so beautiful that even without makeup, it is still so bright that people can't take their eyes away.
The mourning dress not only did not weaken her appearance, but because there were no extra colors and decorations to overwhelm her beauty, it brought out all her advantages. It also gave people an illusion of weakness, which was very inconsistent with her usual image and made people feel uncomfortable. I can't help but want to show her a little more love and affection.
Listening to the conversation between Shen Tianshu and Fan Yuru, Li Zian suddenly interjected: "Grandma and Zihan always talk about you. When you have time, come over and sit down, wish the old lady a happy New Year, and make her happy."
Shen Tianshu said, "Your Majesty, please help me thank the Dowager Empress for her love. But now I am observing mourning at home and my mourning clothes have not been removed. How can I go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings?"
Li Zian seemed to have just remembered this question and couldn't help but muttered something under his breath.
Shen Tianshu stood opposite and didn't hear clearly. He looked up in confusion.
Fan Yuru stood aside and listened, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Zian. This was not something he could say.
After speaking, Li Zian felt that he had made a mistake. He raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, "Then after the fifteenth day, I will send someone to the palace to invite Miss Shen. It would be a good idea to come to the palace to talk to the concubine. "
"Okay." Shen Tianshu agreed generously this time. It was time to go to Prince Rui for a follow-up visit. "It's time for me to go home, so I won't waste the prince's time."
After watching Shen Tianshu leave, Li Zian stopped by the shack across the street to check around, frightening several of the officers on duty today, fearing that he was dissatisfied with something.
Seeing that Li Zian still wanted to take a look at the situation in the shack, the officer hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, it's very dirty here, you..."
"You go and open it, and I'll take a look."
For the convenience of heating, the shacks here are not too big and can accommodate about ten adults.
In order to keep warm, the height of the shack is also relatively short. After opening the door made of wooden boards and wrapped in quilts, it is very dark inside.
It can be vaguely seen that the ground inside the shack is lower than the outside. There is a stove built with blue bricks in the middle, and a fire is burning inside.
There was a chimney erected on the stove, which went straight up. A hole was opened in the shack and smoke was coming out.
Li Zian glanced around and said: "You must pay attention to fire prevention, check the chimney every day, and keep the smoke flowing smoothly. Don't slack off. This is a major matter related to human life. Whoever makes a mistake will be the first to be spared."
!”
"Yes, yes!" Several guards agreed in unison.
The leader bravely said, "Don't worry, Sir, Mr. Shen has already told us that we now have three teams taking turns to guard the place every day, and there will be no one at all for twelve hours."
"Well, it's not enough to just have people, you have to be dedicated." Li Zian said, turning around and giving instructions to Fan Yuru, "Later, we will transfer a few people from the palace and follow the government office's schedule to take turns. We must ensure that no accidents occur during the New Year.
!”
The officers did not expect that Li Zian would take this matter so seriously, and they cheered up even more.
After finally sending Li Zian away, several people immediately gathered together and began to murmur.
"Tell me, what do you mean, Master Shen? Do you support Master Shen's arrangement or not?"
"I don't think it's fair to say, no one has done this kind of thing before. It's good to give up porridge and rice during the Chinese New Year.
"As for people occasionally freezing to death on the streets, there's nothing we can do about it. Not to mention our Wuchang Prefecture, even the two capitals dare not say it's not true?
"But Mr. Shen insists on building so many shacks to house the refugees. If water breaks out or people are poisoned to death, it will be a definite fault.
"Didn't you listen to the prince's instructions and pay attention? You must be afraid of something happening. Maybe you are complaining about Master Shen for doing something unnecessary!"
"Come on, stop making blind analyses!" The leading sergeant rolled his eyes and said, "You are stupid and you still don't admit it. No wonder you are still a junior sergeant after working for so many years."
As soon as these words came out, the person who spoke in front immediately became unhappy and said: "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Mr. Shen was originally asked by the Crown Prince to come to the Emperor. Otherwise, if he was going to be an official in the capital, wouldn't the Crown Prince not support him? This is just one of the reasons.
"Secondly, didn't you see it just now? A car with the emblem of the Shen family was parked on the opposite side of the road. After the prince arrived, he went over and talked for a long time before coming to check the shack.
"Do you think the Crown Prince is feeling unhappy? I think he is just helping to find out and fix the leaks! By the way, let's put some of the responsibility on the Prince's Mansion, so that if something goes wrong, the blame won't be all on Master Shen. I understand.
What?"
Several officers were speechless when they heard this.
"So, Master Shen is really going to show off his talents?"
"Otherwise? Do you think a person as smart as Chief Cai would start cheering for Master Shen so quickly, running forward and backward?"
