The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Even if Aunt Wen doesn't want to admit that Shi Anxia is more beautiful than her daughter, she can't ignore that she is a direct descendant of the Hou family.

Just because of her status, her daughter had to be squeezed out of the circle. She must help clear the way for her daughter. When the time comes, it will be easy to deal with Down syndrome.

What can a woman with a tarnished reputation do no matter how beautiful she is?

Thinking this way, she felt more comfortable, and the injuries on her body no longer hurt so much.

Liu's mother narrowed her eyes when she heard this, "Auntie still has a way."

"Fight with me! Xiaolang's hooves are still a little tender!" A trace of malice escaped from Aunt Wen's lips, "Let's see how she can block my Rou'er's way!"

That night, news came out from nowhere that there was a young lady from the Hou Mansion who got lost as a child and wandered for many years, but was later found and raised in the mansion.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady was very restless. She disliked the strict rules of the Marquis Mansion and the lack of fun in the colorful world outside, so she took a man she knew before home and disguised herself as a palace guard.

When Shi Anxia heard these rumors, he was writing at the table.

What she copied was the masterpiece of Huang Wanqian, a great scholar of the time.

Huang Wanqian is a more famous person than Fang Yuchu. Let's put it this way, if Huang Wanqian had not retired, Fang Yuchu would not have become the enlightenment mentor of the current emperor.

Only by asking Huang Wanqian to come and teach at the famous clan school could she induce Fang Yuchu to come out of the mountain. She wants to move the existence of the two giants, Beidou, into her clan school.

After putting down the last stroke, Shi Anxia placed the brush on the jade pen rest, washed his hands with water, and then sat down on the embroidery pier. "Rumors are just rumors, don't pay attention to them."

When Zeng’s mother heard this, she became anxious and said, “Girl, this will affect your marriage proposal!”

Shi Anxia smiled sweetly, "It doesn't matter. The rumor didn't specify which girl it was. If we jump out to clarify like this, it will be confirmed that this girl is that girl."

"But we can't let this wind blow everywhere. The circle of powerful people in the capital is only so big."

Shi Anxia glanced at the anxious mothers and maids in the room reassuringly, "I know you are thinking about me, don't worry, I know what's going on."

She did know what was going on.

A good reputation is very important to a woman. Her mother, Tang Chujun, was burdened by this invisible thing and had to marry someone she didn't love.

In the last life, Aunt Wen used the same method to create rumors and trouble about her wandering, but in the end she failed to achieve her goal of dragging her into the quagmire.

On the one hand, under her planning, she and Prince Jin Xiao Sheng fell in love at first sight and missed each other, to the point where His Highness Prince Jin was indispensable to her.

The Empress Dowager cherished her grandson and intervened.

On the other hand, Mrs. Shi also suppressed the rumors for the sake of the future of the Hou family.

So in the end, although Anxia was not the concubine of the Jin Dynasty, she became the concubine of the Jin Dynasty.

Later, when she was in the palace and deep in the palace, people made rumors and trouble again and again that she had been wandering outside, and ruined her reputation.

It can be said that Shi Anxia spent his whole life surrounded by rumors without stopping for a moment.

She was once jointly petitioned by the former ministers to depose her, she was also questioned step by step by Emperor Rongguang, and she was even written into a joke and ridiculed in teahouses.

But so what?

She was also Empress Jingde who stayed up all night to handle the memorials on behalf of the Emperor. She was the Empress Dowager Huizheng who personally fought for the emperor of the country. She was the eminent monk Ji Yuan who said that she "saved the country from the cliff and saved thousands of people from fire and water." A man of great merit.

So today's rumors are really not worth mentioning to her.

Moreover, she had never thought about marrying into a wealthy family, let alone a false reputation.

The mothers-in-law and maids looked at their young lady's deep pool-like eyes, and felt inexplicably calm, and all their anxiety dissipated.

Shi Anxia was worried about another thing at this time.

Just as he was thinking about it, Nan Yan hurried in and reported, "Girl, my uncle is here and is talking to his wife in Haitang Courtyard."

Shi Anxia's eyes lit up, "Let's go, let's go too."

The pale color of flying snow is falling one after another.

A group of people were walking in the twilight. The woman surrounded by them was wearing a white fox fur with a dark blue satin brocade coat underneath. Half of her face was hidden in a pure white rabbit fur scarf.

A big black dog walked forward beside the woman with steps that he didn't recognize.

Mother Liu watched from a distance and asked the maid next to her, "Do you think that's the eldest lady?"

Shuxiang crouched and quietly walked closer to take a look, then came back and replied, "It's the eldest lady. Judging from the direction she is going, it should be Haitang Courtyard."

Mother Liu pouted proudly, hmm, are you anxious? It was useless to consult my wife all night long to discuss countermeasures! A mouthful of saliva and stars cannot drown you to death.

When Shi Anxia arrived at Haitang Courtyard, Tang Chujun was angrily complaining to his brother, "It must be Wen Huiyi who spread the rumor! My Xia'er was splashed with dirty water for no reason, and she is supposed to get married next year, but what should I do?"

"Mother! I won't get married next year, so don't worry." Shi Anxia walked into the flower hall with a smile and saluted Tang Chuyu, "I've met my uncle!"

Tang Chuyu is Tang Chujun's half-brother, and Shi Anxia's uncle. "Xia'er sent the letter, but because of rumors?"

Tang Chujun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his daughter had written to invite his brother here. He immediately answered anxiously, "Of course it is! Brother, please think of a way."

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Mom, I have more important things to tell my uncle, not this trivial matter."

"A trivial matter! How can this be a trivial matter!" Tang Chujun's voice was sharp and urgent.

Tang Chuyu raised his eyebrows, feeling that the little girl he once was was back.

Ever since she got married and had a child, the younger sister has been depressed towards everyone. When she was little, she was clearly lively and impatient.

Shi Anxia walked over and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, mother, I will deal with the rumors. I really have urgent matters to discuss with my uncle."

Tang Chujun then picked up the tea cup and held it in his hand, "Oh, then you say, don't worry about me."

Shi Anxia and Tang Chuyu looked at each other and smiled, inexplicably seeing an irresistible doting in each other's eyes.

Shi Anxia started talking about business, "Uncle, you know that Mr. Yang Xuan is in the Hou Mansion, right?"

Tang Chuyu nodded, "I know."

"Mr. Yang Xuan calculated that the snow disaster occurred in Yucheng, Zhangzhou. If rescue and relief are not provided in time, Yucheng will be destroyed in less than a month."

Tang Chuyu frowned, "Do you believe this too?"

Shi Anxia said, "I would rather believe that it exists than not." She looked serious and her eyes were solemn, "Uncle, this is a good opportunity for you to make contributions to the court."

Since the beginning of winter this year, there has been rare heavy snowfall in Beijing for several days.

Snow-covered roads and inconvenient transportation have made food scarce in many places on the outskirts of Beijing, causing large fluctuations in rice prices.

Tang Chuyu is the Minister of Household Affairs, so he knows this very well. Not only that, he has just promulgated rice price control measures within the capital.

Shi Anxia knew that the situation in Yucheng, Zhangzhou, a hundred miles away, was even more serious.

Since the beginning of the month, there have been several consecutive heavy snowfalls and hailstorms, making the snow three feet deep on the flat ground. Not only the birds and animals froze to death, but also most of the cattle, horses, pigs and sheep.

Several rivers flowing through Yucheng were completely frozen, causing ships to stop sailing.

The roads were too thick for people to walk on, let alone carriages.

As a result, there was a shortage of food and clothing in the entire Jade City, and looting occurred. The people were short of food and clothing, hungry and cold.

Finally, on New Year's Eve this year, the snow disaster crisis broke out in Yucheng.
