An Qi'en remained silent. Since it was a good thing that the prince was willing to take action, it didn't matter who contributed the money or effort. What mattered was that there was a place in Jingyang where orphaned children could be placed.
Lu Bochu continued: "Not only food and clothing must be solved, but survival skills must also be solved. Reading, learning skills, etc. must be arranged."
An Qi'en also had this intention. Only a prince who can see the suffering of the people will become a good king in the future. An Qi'en's admiration for Lu Bochu skyrocketed.
Zhao Yan echoed: "Your Majesty is wise and has foresight. I really admire you."
An Qien also said: "It is a blessing for the people of Jingyang that the prince is so wise."
The three of them chatted all the way. Lu Bochu accidentally saw a candied haws seller not far away, and he subconsciously told Agui: "Go buy candied haws."
After receiving the order, Agui hurriedly ran to buy candied haws.
Zhao Yan was confused, but he didn't expect that King Xian liked to eat candied haws.
But when Agui bought back the candied haws, Lu Bochu personally handed the candied haws to An Qien and said in a casual tone: "Eat it."
Zhao Yan paused in his heart. He was not a dull person. The gentle tone of King Xian was different from others.
Although he had met the wise king relatively rarely, he had never seen him be so approachable to anyone.
An Qien was startled, and her clear eyes widened slightly. Seeing Lu Bochu's natural and casual look, her hesitation seemed like she was being nervous.
When Lu Bo saw her for the first time, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "I remember that when I went to Beijing, I saw you buying candied haws. Didn't you like eating it?"
An Qi'en pretended to be calm and took the candied haws with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Bochu stared at her naturally, and An Qien could only take a bite of the candied haws in front of him gracefully.
Lu Bo looked away when he saw her eating for the first time.
Zhao Yan felt a different atmosphere. Could it be that the wise king also had thoughts about An Qien, but he thought it was impossible through rational analysis.
Since ancient times, royal families have always paid attention to family status when marrying wives. An Qien and Li Guo will never be able to enter the palace from this point on!
The prince's special love for An Qien must be because she has a brother like An Shi'an. Zhao Yan felt much better when he thought about it.
The three maids were secretly happy to see the prince being so kind to their master.
Before he knew it, he was almost done shopping in the market, and An Qi'en asked to go back first.
After Lu Bochu returned, he immediately made plans to build a big house. He bought a large piece of land where he could not only build a house but also grow vegetables.
Many migrant workers had been recruited to build the canals, and there were not enough manpower to build the houses. Lu Bochu planned to let the government officers and soldiers build the canals, and migrant workers who could build houses would be transferred to build the houses.
But this budget still doesn't have enough manpower. He is thinking about whether to transfer some people from other places. This is a big project that cannot be completed in three or two days.
Now that we have purchased all the materials to build the house, we just need to start construction.
March arrived in the blink of an eye, and An Shian rushed over from Guyang.
When An Qien learned that her brother was coming back today, she made a table of delicious food early and put it in a pot to keep warm, and couldn't wait to pick her brother up.
Today happened to be Lin Yanyun's "day of release after serving her sentence." An Qien met her at the gate of Linghan Temple.
Lin Yanyun has become darker, thinner and older than ten years this month. She seems to have become a different person. In the temple, she not only has to recite scriptures but also has to do hard work. She has suffered the hardships that she has not suffered since she was a child. The hard work makes people Looking tired and old.
Seeing the radiant An Qi'en, she gritted her teeth for fear that she would lose her temper and provoke An Qi'en.
She glanced sideways at An Qi'en and walked away haughtily. An Qi'en didn't take her seriously at all! A person who doesn’t even have an onion! An Qi'en never wastes his emotions on insignificant people.
She happily got into the carriage, but Lin Yanyun was furious when he saw her happy look!
Back at the Lin Mansion, Lin Yanyun immediately got into the temper of a young lady, crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, complaining that Mrs. Zhu and Lin Zhehua didn't visit her and left her there alone to live out their lives.
Lin Zhehua went to greet An Shi'an early in the morning when he was not at home. An Shi'an was a popular person in front of the prince, and he had to do something to save his face.
Mrs. Zhu saw that her daughter was neither a human nor a ghost. Her skin looked worse than that of a village woman. She was so thin and dry that she felt like bloodshot eyes!
Lin Yanyun was suffering in Linghan Temple, and the couple did not dare to visit him for fear of being criticized. During the Chinese New Year, the family was desolate, and they had the worst year in history.
Mrs. Zhu felt sorry for her daughter, holding Lin Yanyun in her arms and wiping her tears, and promised to compensate her!
Lin Yanyun didn't see Lin Zhehua coming to coax her, so she asked angrily: "Where's daddy! Why didn't daddy come?"
Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears and said, "That bitch's brother is here. Your father will go and greet him as a courtesy."
Lin Yanyun was extremely angry when he heard this. No wonder the bitch was so happy at the gate of Linghan Temple just now!
Now that An Shi'an is here, doesn't that bitch have more support?
Mrs. Zhu was afraid that her stupid daughter would get into trouble again because she had no brains, so she told her: "The wise king plans to build a house to take in homeless or unwanted children. Your father has already donated part of it. Please cultivate yourself and be energetic these days." If you are passionate, dress up and make a donation, just say that you sold some jewelry and want to do your part to help orphans and widowed children."
Lin Yanyun pinched the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, vowing: "If my daughter knows about it, I don't believe that that abandoned woman can compare with me!"
The Lin family has made a lot of money secretly over the years, and the shady money just from accepting bribes can last several lifetimes for the Lin family.
Mrs. Zhu warned her: "Don't say anything you shouldn't say. The prince is a person who can't tolerate dirt in his eyes. Don't cause trouble for your father."
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool!"
...........
When An Qien came to the city gate, Lu Bochu and some civil and military officials came. A large number of people gave An Shi'an enough face.
She respectfully walked up to Lu Bochu and curtsied: "Hail, Your Majesty."
Although the March wind was the beginning of spring, it still carried a strong chill. The wind rose everywhere and blew lightly. An Qi'en couldn't help but shrink her neck. She came out in a hurry without wearing a cloak.
Lu Bochu calmly took off his cloak and put it on her body before saying, "If you catch the cold, your brother will settle the score with me."
He said this in a joking tone and did not avoid suspicion in public. Everyone could see that Lu Bochu was different from An Qien.
But most people thought that Lu Bochu was just in love with Wu Jiwu. Zhao Yan couldn't help but look lonely when he saw this scene.
An Qien's body froze for a moment. Lu Libo's cloak was indeed much warmer on her body. That feeling inexplicably made her heart beat faster...
