Just when Qianzhou was vigorously fighting wolves, there was a sudden earthquake in the northwest, more than ten cities were affected, and nearly hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.

After the earthquake, there was a plague, and in just over a month, the northwest was full of mourning, and the displaced people began to flee, selling their children and daughters, which was unbearable.

When the emperor heard this, he was furious and ordered the prince to thoroughly investigate the officials who embezzled the money for disaster relief, but the court was so intertwined that even a thorough investigation could not get the money back. The flood in the middle of the year before last used a lot of silver, last year to repair the palace, the queen mother's birthday, and the cost is quite huge, now the treasury is empty, and it is almost impossible to distribute disaster relief funds again, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and suddenly the court and the top and bottom are helpless.

At this time, it fell on Fu Guogong, and the corners of Fu Guogong's anxious mouth had a lot of blisters in a few days, and Qian Fuguo Gong, who could be adjusted, had tried his best to adjust, but the disaster in the northwest was still getting worse, and even rebels with small drums had begun to appear.

For this kind of national affairs, Xu Youran can't control a little Taishou, and now that the king is responsible for recruiting some temporary workers, she can't intervene, so Xu Youran began to be idle and bored again.

Xu Youran lay on the desk in the lobby and fiddled with a hairpin in his hand, teasing Xiaoqing for a while to make it dance up.

Xiaoqing is so annoying, she was getting up when she was full and wanted to sleep, it has been out of the stage for many years, what kind of dance, what dance!

Lao Tzu doesn't jump, and he doesn't jump when he dies!

This hairpin is the one that the senior brother fiddled with that day, Xu Youran has always been curious about whether the senior brother has a sweetheart, and he pestered the cigarette period every day to ask, and finally the cigarette period was annoyed by the question, so he told her that this was an old man sent to him on his deathbed, he originally wanted to ask what the old man meant, but he didn't expect the old man to die, so there was no clue.

The smoke period is also a very smart person, but this hairpin he turned over and over and saw nothing special, and there is no mark or mechanism, no matter how you look at it, it is a green hosta of ordinary material! If there is anything special, it is a crack on it, but the smoke period of this crack has also been pondered for a long time, or has not figured out anything peculiar, and finally the smoke period feels that Bachengzi was played by the dead Chai Taishou, or the things sent by Chai Taishou were dropped halfway.

Xu Youran also studied with the smoke period for a while, but he didn't see any clues, and finally when the smoke period left, Xu Youran strongly asked the smoke period to leave the hairpin, so that she was pondering and pondering, to see if she could see what clues.

Yanzi naturally knew that Xu Youran was curious about this hairpin because he thought it was fun, but he had always been very fond of Xu Youran, and when he saw Xu Youran's pitiful little appearance, he softened, so he gave the hairpin to Xu Youran, and told her not to lose it or break it.

Xu Youran was playing, and his subordinates suddenly weighed heavily and accidentally poked Xiaoqing's stomach. Xiaoqing had just eaten enough, and her stomach was bloated, and she only felt trembling when she was poked by this, Xiaoqing's tail was pumped on the hairpin, Xu Youran didn't hold it, and the hairpin fell directly to the ground and fell in half.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the hairpin was broken into two in response.

Xu Youran and Xiaoqing were both stunned, and then looked at each other.

"It's over, this hairpin belongs to my senior brother, he wants to know that you have broken it, so he has to kill you to make snake soup. Xu Youran saw the hairpin on the ground that was broken in half, and immediately began to shirk responsibility.

Xiaoqing desperately began to shake her head, what do you mean I broke it?

"What? You said I did it? It's clear that you pumped the ground with your tail, and you even dare to shirk your responsibility, as a snake, don't you feel ashamed?" Xu Youran educated Xiao Qingdao with righteous words.

Xiaoqing looked at Xu Youran, her eyes were full of contempt, you are a human being and actually pushed the responsibility on the snake, you should be ashamed, shameless!

"If you say that I don't have a shame, I'll beat you!" Xu Youran wrinkled his little nose vigorously and bared his teeth and threatened.

An errand officer standing below watched it for a long time, he was confused, and finally couldn't help it, and asked Xu Youran cautiously, "My lord, can you understand what the snake is saying?"

Xu Youran glanced at the official with disdain and said, "How can I understand how animals speak, and I am not an animal." ”

"Then why are you arguing so vigorously with this snake?" asked the servant even more puzzled.

"Nothing, just guessing. Xu said leisurely.

Maybe it's because of the tacit understanding formed by harming people everywhere for so many years!" Xiaoqing added.

Xu Youran picked up the two hostas on the ground and looked at it, this time it's over, although the responsibility can be passed on to Xiaoqing, but the senior brother definitely doesn't believe that this matter has nothing to do with him, and he can only find a way to remedy it for now.

"Hey, come here!" Xu Youran said to the officer.

"What's the matter, my lord?" said the officer, who took two steps forward.

"You see that this hairpin is broken, let me ask you, where is there a place to mend the hairpin in this Qianzhou City? It is better to be able to make up the kind that cannot be seen. Xu Youran asked.

"Is this .." The guard pondered for a while and then said, "It seems that there is really a shop to mend the hairpin is particularly good, before my lady had a jade bracelet that was broken, she was very distressed, the neighbor's Aunt Wang told her that there is such a shop to mend the jade craftsmanship is superb, the price is also expensive, my lady went to make up after it is really good, although it is not seamless, but it is also to make up for the details, you can go and see, in an alley in the west of the city." ”

Xu Youran was idle anyway, so he directly skipped work and looked for the way the messenger said, and sure enough, he found the shop in an alley in the west of the city, and the name of the store was also very simple, called Bai Ji Yuxing.

The shop is very small, Xu Youran pushed the door in, saw that there were customers coming to the door, so he ushered in a young man, smiled and said to Xu Youran, "What do you want from the guest officer, although our shop is small, but there are a lot of jade, and the master's craftsmanship is also good, do you want to wear it yourself or give it away?"

"I'm not here to buy jade, I'm here to make up for the jade, can you see if this hairpin is broken?" Xu Youran took out the two pieces of hosta from his arms and handed them to Xiao Gongji and said.

"Oh, it's this hairpin!" said the little man in surprise when he saw it.

"Have you seen it?" asked Xu Youran suspiciously.
