Chapter 556 Princess Ann
The epidemic area is in the southeast, stretching from Xingshan to Ancheng in the east.
Ancheng is less than 50 miles away from Beimo Kyoto, next to Qicheng, Luo County, Qicheng, and Ancheng are all on the same line, so it belongs to the earthquake-stricken area, and it is also the place with the most victims.
Because of the large number of deaths and the transfer of some officers and soldiers back to Kyoto, the epidemic spread rapidly.
Murong Jie, Zi'an and others left early in the morning. When Lord Qi came to the Xiyang Pavilion, the Xiyang Pavilion was already empty.
After asking the retainers, they found out that Murong Jie had already left the concubine with him early in the morning.
Luo County, Qicheng, and An County are all hard-hit areas. Because Ancheng is under the foot of the emperor, the victims flocked here in order to attract the attention of the court. Of course, the capital city will not accommodate such a large group of victims, and after the outbreak, The medical manpower that has been invested is seriously insufficient. It is not known which ones are suffering from the plague and which ones are healthy.
This means that this is a blockade to the outside world, separating heaven and hell.
Murong Jie and others walked all the way and saw the tragic scenes with their own eyes. Although they were right at the feet of the emperor, the emperor, the ministers, and the people in the capital could not see them.
Wouldn't it be better to act as if nothing happened if you didn't see it?
Zian wanted to go to the epidemic area, but he had to be taken by the imperial court to participate in the treatment.
However, Prince Qi seemed to have softened, and they could only figure out their own way.
So, on this day, a group of them came to Princess Anyang's mansion with the special products they brought from Da Zhou.
Princess Anyang, also known as Princess An, is the emperor's own younger sister and the first milk compatriot.
This Princess Anyang is a weird person.
Everyone in Beimo said so.
She was neither married nor on a blind date, so many famous talents knelt in the princess mansion holding gold, silver and jewels. In order to witness her demeanor, she accepted the gift, but no one was there.
There are two famous misers in Beimo, one is Concubine Lu, and Concubine Lu is the biological mother of Prince Qi, who lives in Prince Qi's mansion now.
As for the other one, it is Princess Anyang.
She is really stingy, so rich, but the mansion lives a life of stinging people, there are not many servants, and she basically relies on mules to go out, and she doesn't even prepare a carriage. She said that raising horses is a waste of money.
The wages of the servants are paid by the imperial court, so she reluctantly kept a few.
It stands to reason that a noble princess' mansion needs at least a hundred or dozens of people to serve it, but she didn't. She kept a personal maid, a flower king, a cook, two sweepers, and a maid who served in the yard. Not even a concierge.
Guard? There is no such thing.
There are a large number of hidden guards like Da Zhou Murong Zhuangzhuang? It's even more impossible. First of all, no matter who pays the wages, how much does it cost to eat?
Are there any luxurious things in the mansion? No.
None.
The emperor did not reward? No one gave her a present? No, the reward was given away, but she sold it. Princess An believes that there is nothing dearer in the world than silver. Relatives will die, lovers will change, and silver is always her own son.
However, she did hide some antiques. As for where, no one knows.
Because some young people in Beijing knew that there were no guards in the Princess Mansion, they came to pick up some bargains, but after searching, they found that there was nothing valuable in the Princess Mansion in Nuo Da.
The thief was very angry. He thought that he could have a good meal with a good dress and sell it. As a result, when he opened the closet, the thief left crying.
His grandmother's clothes are better than Princess Ann's.
That's right, Princess An's stinginess has reached its peak state, Jingzhong... No, no one in the middle school is more stingy than her.
Murong Jie and others came to Princess Anyang's mansion early in the morning. The gate of the mansion was closed. Su Qing took a look, "Where is the concierge?"
Xiao Tuo said: "I'm afraid I didn't wake up so early?"
"When is this, and the porter isn't up yet?" Rou Yao didn't believe it, she stepped forward and knocked the bronze door knocker with the animal head, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
There was no sound inside, Rou Yao listened for a while, and heard the sound of small footsteps.
Rou Yao said: "Why is this Princess Mansion so loose? The concierge is hiding inside."
Xiao Tuo said: "Wait a minute, I heard that there are people inside."
Sure enough, after a while, the door was opened.
It was an old woman who opened the door, her hair was all white, she squinted her eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
Everyone was startled, this concierge is actually an old woman?
Rou Yao didn't think about it anymore, she stepped forward and said: "Old lady, we are envoys from Da Zhou, and we want to see Princess Anyang."
"People from Dazhou?" The mother-in-law groaned, straightened her waist and looked at them, "Well, you come in first, this old slave is going to invite the princess."
Seeing that her back was hunched, everyone wondered why Princess An Ran would let such an old man be a concierge? If there is something urgent to report to her, I'm afraid she won't be back for half an hour.
However, after entering the princess mansion, I am no longer obsessed with the fact that the old lady is the concierge, because the princess mansion looks good from the outside, after all, it is a mansion rewarded by the royal family, and every brick and tile is particular about it.
However, when they entered the mansion and saw the courtyard and the main hall, everyone was dumbfounded.
This yard is indeed very big. At first glance, it is almost endless. However, it is full of melons and vegetables, and there is not a single flower. If rapeseed is counted, there are some.
In addition to melons and vegetables, there are fruit trees, jujube trees, pear trees, hawthorn trees, hazelnut trees, and ginkgo trees.
In the yard, a woman in coarse clothes was watering. It looked like dwarf yellows and eggplants were planted.
The old woman walked up behind the woman and said, "Princess, someone is looking for you."
Everyone was surprised, this woman is the princess? Is it Princess Anyang?
Although this Beimo is not the richest country, the people of Beimo have been advocating luxury since Emperor Ming Su.
In this dynasty, Empress Cao's style in the harem was very extravagant and high-profile.
Don't wear no silk, don't eat anything fresh, it's already well-known throughout the country, even the people of Dazhou have heard of it.
When Empress Cao gained power, her style was naturally followed by everyone, especially those in the royal family.
However, this Princess Anyang is so simple and frugal? It is really a little cinnabar red in the green bushes.
Princess Anyang straightened her waist and turned around slowly.
Everyone just felt that their eyes brightened, and when they looked at her from behind, they thought she was a woman, mainly because of her messy hair and coarse clothes. Extremely beautiful, but also above average.
Moreover, her face is very noble, with an oval face, phoenix eyes, and thick black eyebrows. Even wearing such plain clothes, her temperament is not buried in the slightest.
She seemed to be a born princess, well, she was a born princess.
Princess Anyang's eyes fell on Murong Jie's face, she sized her up, and said blissfully, "It's Murong Jie, the Regent of the Great Zhou, right?"
"Murong Jie has seen the princess!" Murong Jie bowed his hands in return.
