"Hey, you all get out of the way, my young lady is the niece of Master Qin, whoever dares to fight with her will not be able to get along with the Qin family. A delicate girl outside the crowd pushed away the maids and snatched the jewelry box from the little eunuch's arms.

"Phew! It's amazing, I can't see your Qin girl's dog-fighting appearance, isn't she a distant relative of Qin Taishi? My wife is the concubine of the eldest prince, and the real lady of the Duanmu family. A short maid in pink spat on the ground, she is the dowry maid Hongping of the princess of Murong Jie, the princess of today's great prince, and the most annoying thing is that people use power to oppress her on weekdays.

"You?" that delicate girl is Qin Ziyan's personal maid Chunjube.

The two maids did not say a word and directly started fighting, and another maid took the opportunity to snatch the jewelry box in the arms of the little eunuch, and fought again in the scramble, and after a while, it had become a pot of porridge here, attracting more and more crowds of onlookers, and finally the officials who patrolled the street dissuaded them away, and the next day, the matter had spread throughout Yanjing City.

"Are you saying that Qin Ziyan and Duanmu Wan are competing for a jewelry box, and the two girls are tearing their faces for this?" In the Ningguo Mansion, a suave son looked at the next person with a puzzled face.

"Well, this matter has spread throughout Yanjing, last night, some people saw that Qin Taishi personally escorted the spring dates, and went to the palace of the great prince to ask for the guilt, the people do not fight with the officials, the officials do not fight with the king, and the spring dates are also a little too reckless. The next man said 1510.

"That Qin Ziyan has always had eyes high above the top, and the spring jujube beside her is also a high-minded and arrogant master, this time it can be regarded as a hard ballast, but I am a little curious, what is so strange about the jewelry box?"

"The minions haven't seen it either. ”

"Hey, yes, it's a jewelry box, presumably Miss Qinglian will like it too, you go and inquire again, so I can help you buy one back, and you want to give it away." "Brother Gongzi was beaten like chicken blood in an instant.

"Since it is an object in the palace, why not ask the eldest prince to get it for the master?

"You know what a fart? My brother is the most pretending to be serious, how can he help me get women's things? ”

This son-in-law is Zuo Nanhao, and his eldest brother Zuo Xiquan, has just returned from the disaster area to inspect the disaster, in recent days, the autumn water has been continuous, far away from Yucheng due to the low terrain, surrounded by mountains outside the city, blocking the way of rain, Yucheng has become a water city, and there are thousands of people in the dying struggle, the only way out of Yucheng is also from the mud and stone rolled down from the mountain to death.

The disaster relief officials were in a hurry outside Yucheng, and Zuo Xiquan, who was in charge of supervision, was helpless, so he could only return to Beijing to report to the emperor.

In Yanjing City, a man rode a fast horse from the palace gate, the man was covered in mud and dirt, and his appearance was extremely embarrassed, but he was holding the gold medal given by the saint in his hand, and the road was unimpeded.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zuo is back. A little eunuch hurried into the hall to play.

Nearly 10,000 people in Yucheng are trapped in danger, but our disaster relief officials are helpless, and the ministers have come to ask for guilt. Zuo Xiquan jumped off his horse, knelt down outside the temple door with a pop, and knocked his head three times first.

"Aiqing, please hurry up, this year's Yucheng disaster is extremely rare, is this matter Aiqing's crime alone?

"The way out of Yucheng was cut off by the rocks, the rain did not decrease at all, it was like a pot with a big mouth, and the people in the city were like ants in the pot, seeing that the water in the pot was gathering more and more, but the ants in the pot had no way to escape, but could only wait for death. Zuo Xiquan looked sad.

"How is that good?" the emperor closed his eyes and pondered, wandering back and forth at the entrance of the palace, and the green tendons on his hands had already burst out.

"Come on, post the emperor's list to recruit water control talents, and whoever can solve the crisis in Yucheng will give him a gold medal for avoiding death, and then promise him a golden mouth. After a quarter of an hour, the saint finally frowned, and now he can only recruit talents.

"My emperor is wise. The people in the palace breathed a sigh of relief for the people of Yucheng.

At this time, Chen Mu was carefully carving his jewelry box, and the weather was getting colder, and he needed to earn more money to fill in some thick quilts and store more food for the winter. Don't be idle for a moment.

"Miss, I'm here to help you too. The crescent moon had just smoked a batch of jewelry boxes with orchid incense, and she was empty, and she also wanted to help her young lady, so she picked up the new set of tools sent by Mama Zhang, and was about to polish the jewelry boxes.

The brand-new set of tools was knocked to the ground, and the crescent moon was frightened.

Even the vegetables and rice she sent, I asked you to wash them at least 20 times, and if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't even dare to touch the food she sent. Chen Mu's face was extremely gloomy, this was the first time he had been angry since he entered the cold palace.

"Yes...... But in order to make these jewelry boxes, Miss even grinded out the calluses on her hands, and the crescent moon just wanted to share the worries and solve problems for Miss. ”

"I got your mind, but this set of tools can never be touched, there are a lot of rich and powerful people in the palace, among which there are countless people who want to take my life, that Zhang Mama loves money like life, I estimate, she has already been bought, but she is extremely greedy, reluctant to let me die quickly, so as not to cut off her wealth, but she is forced by the power of the palace, and must let me die. Chen Mu looked haggard.

"So,,,,,, she's going to give Miss a chronic poison?"

"Yes, everything she sent may have been stained with poison, or the cabbage we ate yesterday, or the rice porridge we ate every day, or the two thick clothes she sent, this set of tools may have been soaked in venom. ”

"Then, aren't Miss and I drinking poison every day to quench our thirst?"

"Yes, but if you want to live, you have to eat, and when it's cold, you have to add clothes, otherwise, before we are poisoned, we will starve to death and freeze to death in the cold palace. He didn't want to tell the crescent moon about these things, he lived in the shadow of death all day, and it was enough to have him, so why bother letting the crescent moon follow him and be afraid.

"This cold palace is terrifying. The crescent moon felt trembling all over her body, goosebumps all over her body, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Baili girl, the old man has come to send you the God of Wealth. A shout came from afar, interrupting the conversation between the master and servant, and it was Mama Zhang, Chen Mu hurriedly pulled the crescent moon out of the utility room, and quickly closed the door.

"It's amazing, the girl's recent things are extremely popular, it can be said that it is hard to find, this morning, there is really a rich and stupid Yanjing boy, who wants to spend a thousand gold to buy the jewelry box made by the girl. "Mama Zhang wore a gold-rimmed pipa jacket today, and she still had spiced melon seeds in her mouth, and her body was much plump.

"Oh, which son's brother, who spent a lot of money for a jewelry box, wasn't his head kicked by a donkey?" Chen Mu handed Mama Zhang a cup of hot tea.

"Zuo Nanhao, the second son of the Duke of Ningguo. ”

"Oh!" Chen Mu sneered.

"By the way, Mama, has there been anything new in Yanjing in the past two days?" The crescent moon forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart and talked with this vicious mama.

"There is nothing new in Yanjing, but there is a great thing in Yucheng, the autumn flood in the past two days, there was a flood in Yucheng, I heard that tens of thousands of people were trapped there, but the disaster relief officials were helpless, I just met a group of guards who posted the emperor's list, and glanced at it slightly, it seemed to be written, those who can cure the flood will be given a gold medal to avoid death, and the emperor will be given a promise of Chrysostom. Mama Zhang carefully recalled the content of the list.

"What are you talking about? The girl instantly bounced up from her chair, her eyes lit up, God knows, he had waited too long for this opportunity!!

"Oh, Baili girl, what are you excited about? ”

"Mama Zhang, tell me quickly, what is the situation of Yucheng, what is the terrain there, what is the weather?" Chen Mu moved the chair to Mama Zhang, looking deaf.

"There is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous, shaped like a round-mouthed porcelain bowl, it rains continuously all the year round, and in autumn, it is easy to rain heavily, and now the way out of Yucheng is blocked, and tens of thousands of people can only wait for death. Mama Zhang also sighed, there are still two of her distant relatives in Yucheng, hey, I want to blame them for their bad lives.

"Mama Zhang, Aunt Ziyu beside the Queen Mother has something to look for you. Outside the door of the cold palace, a little eunuch's voice suddenly came.

"Oops, oh no, I have to go first. When Mama heard this, she spread her calves and ran out of the door, Aunt Ziyu was a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, so she couldn't be offended.

And said that since the emperor list was posted, there has been a lot of discussion in Yanjing City, since ancient times, people do not fight with the sky, not to mention that there have been rumors that several groups of officials who went to Yucheng for disaster relief, several of them have returned in vain, and even more, there are two officials who have lost their lives in Yucheng, and in this disaster relief incident, there are countless officers and soldiers who died.

Wealth and sincerity are precious, and the price of life is higher, so there are countless people who look at the list, but there are very few people who unveil the list.

At this time, in the Chang'an Palace, the Queen Mother was reading the scriptures, "Niangniang has been restless recently, why are you worrying about the affairs of the cold palace? Nian Ci, the maid under the seat, said while rubbing the shoulders of the Queen Mother. "Wrong! I'm not worried about Baili Yan, I'm worried about Wu'er's Jiangshan Sheji, as soon as she entered the cold palace after the abolition, Yucheng was flooded, isn't it? Isn't she really responsible for the national fortune?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and thought about it carefully, and the elderly people finally believed in their fate.

"Wealth is in the sky, life and death depend on fate, if there is really creation after the abolition, it will turn evil into good fortune, the mother does not have to worry, carefully care about her own body. Nian Ci continued to enlighten the Queen Mother.
