After the Shangyuan Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year is completely gone. Hengzhuang's chief steward Laifu listened to Xia Li's message, and when he rode back, there were still people on the street cleaning up the fireworks left over from last night. Gray smoke and dust poured all over the ground, and it was the remains of a burned fire. The whole of Upper Kyoto soothes the tired and numb nerves after the entertainment. The Zhuwa Lord's embroidery has not yet been fully picked up, and occasionally the door is opened, and people dressed as servants hurry in and out, but the general style is also lazy and casual—all of them are still in a state of holiday syndrome.

Laifu rolled the saddle and dismounted, hurriedly walked quickly, and after entering the inner courtyard, he only felt that the splendid scenery was scattered, warm and crispy, colorful, dazzling, and he didn't dare to raise his head more and more. It was not until the weeping flower gate passed, entered the courtyard, and then turned to the big wall, and crossed a marble sun, moon, mountains and rivers partition screen, before stopping. After two breaths, someone immediately called in and said, "The county lord is waiting." ”

Laifu took a deep breath and arched his back in, Xia Li once again told him uneasily: "Just bow your head and reply, don't look around, otherwise be careful of your eyes." "Rifle Nature Nono. The last thing he saw was the door plaque of the small courtyard where the county lord lived: the chic and free calligraphy of "Qingfeng Courtyard" was the words of Yuan Guogong.

Under his feet is a thick and soft Xuancheng Begonia embroidered red thread carpet, stepping on it feels like floating, Laifu shrank his feet uncomfortably: his shoes are too dirty.

"It's hard to come here so early in the morning." Shuheng's voice was slightly hoarse, she got up early in the morning, slept too late last night, got on fire, and met with the Mao Zheng she ordered. I glanced at the chiming clock, and the time was just right. Tangerine wrapped her in a raccoon fur cape with a big red brocade. Honey had already brought over a warm chrysanthemum tea, and then offered a small cloisonné enamel charcoal box with just the right temperature to cover her hands.

"It's not hard, it's supposed to be small." Laifu bowed his head more and more respectfully, and took the tea handed over by the dates.

"Heng Zhuang is normal these days?"

"Normal—"

"Don't rush to answer." Shuheng interrupted: "I said, no matter how many people come to seek help, how busy they are, you must check the information clearly, can this process be normal?" ”

"Yes. Miss Zida said that the grandfather personally set the charter, who came, where he came from, where he lived, the relationship between the family, and the name of Lixu, all of them were carefully interrogated one by one. There is a record of what help was received, what it was used for, and when it was left. Those who are stranded in Hengzhuang also go out to register, return to the door to register, and check for sleep at night, without omission. ”

Shuheng nodded. She liked the answer, and she couldn't tell her clearly without tongue twisting. The person chosen by the grandfather himself will naturally not be wrong. Shuheng sincerely thanked Grandpa Guo.

"Who is in charge of Hengzhuang's food and drinking water?"

"It's a little mother-in-law. I can't say what the taste is, but it's absolutely safe and hygienic. The arrival of pork, vegetables and even rice, salt, vinegar and oil is also recorded. We all have the handprints of those vendors. The kitchen is heavy, and only people from our house can enter. ”

"Are there any of those who are still fighting?" Shuheng asked again. At the beginning of the establishment of Yizhuang, the manpower was not in place, and there were ruffians (or evil beggars) who forcibly asked for help, and there were even cases where the front foot just helped the person who really wanted to help, gave rice and flour money, and the back foot was robbed and claimed. For this kind of person, Shuheng will not be soft. It was better after pulling the Fuding to forcibly enforce strict discipline.

"This young lady is relieved. The grandfather greeted General Gan, and the veterans or remnants of his subordinates, those who did not want to go home or had nowhere to go, could go there to recuperate. Those who have been on the battlefield and really killed people have different smells on their bodies. Since a few military masters came to live here, this kind of thing has not happened again. Even the people in Zhuangzi, whether they are calm or restless, are much more honest. ”

Shuheng once again sincerely thanked Daddy.

"Is there a doctor in Zhuangzi?" No matter what you do, the most feared thing is death. And if you want to use the topic to play the driver framed, then create a big and small crisis, such as food safety, brawls and troubles, these are the best choices. Shuheng must nip these possibilities in the bud.

"No, but there is an old doctor in Qinzhou, surnamed Huang, he also fled from the famine, saw Hengzhuang, was moved by the righteous act of the government, and volunteered to stay. We didn't have a doctor ourselves. ”

Xia Li hurriedly said: "Miss means that we add another doctor to the past?" ”

Shuheng paused and said, "That's not necessary. Just take more commonly used herbs. Prepare some more contingencies. She looked at the roster, and Hengzhuang is still mostly emergency assistance, and there are only twenty people who have been stranded there for a long time, and there is no need for two doctors. Moreover, Hengzhuang has a car and a fast horse, and it is also fast to enter the capital, in case the doctor can't cope with it, there is also a chance to slow down. More importantly, she focuses on the impact of good deeds. The transmission of warmth and kindness is a gratifying thing, and Dr. Huang is the first -

Shuheng thought for a while and then explained: "Laifu, I've worked hard for you recently, no matter how big or small, you must check carefully, and put safety and security first, which is the fundamental and necessary principle of acting." At the same time, after returning home, he also told those who were stranded on the manor to take care of their own safety. Don't casually reveal the situation in our Zhuangzi to outsiders. ”

Lyph replied yes. At the end, he asked uneasily: "County lord, is something wrong?" ”

Shuheng said: "No. It's just that if you want the kitchen to not run the water, you have to remove the firewood by the stove as soon as possible. I almost forgot that he couldn't understand the idiom - she was too sticky with Dong Yin yesterday, and her way of speaking hasn't changed at this time.

Laifu hurriedly replied yes, promising that he would be fully energetic to take care of Hengzhuang's affairs.

Shuheng said to Xia Li again: "Uncle Xia, I've been working hard for you recently, go to Zhuangzi a few more times, indicating that our house values it very much, so that the people there, whether they are in our house or temporarily resident, must not slack off." ”

Xia Li should give up, please rest assured that there will be no mistakes in Hengzhuang. Shuheng said a few more words, then asked Peach to reward and invited the two of them to go.

Leaving the door of the house, Laifu held a hanging of money and said: "Uncle Xia Li, I would like to be this Yizhuang originally built by my grandfather, and Miss Tuo's name is just to coax the children to play, to get a good reputation, and to find her mother-in-law's family in the future." Unexpectedly, it turned out to be our young lady's own attention. You see what she asked me just now, one by one, all on the point, what a really powerful person. ”

Xia Li snorted and smiled: "You just found out that it is amazing?" The master of our county is small enough to pay attention to the big. Besides, build a righteous village to coax children to play? You can really think of it! ”

Laifu pouted and said, "That's not impossible." It's not that you don't know how much our grandfather spoils the county lord, the young lady said that Yu Ji's dim sum is delicious, if only you could eat it every day. How did Grandpa do it? At that time, Yu Ji was just a dim sum workshop in the village, but his grandfather and his father took the guy to open a shop in the capital for him - who would do this in ordinary people? ”

It's not just ordinary people who don't know how to do it? It's normal people wouldn't do it. Xia Li has been following Yuan Guogong for many years and knows a lot about this matter, but he is also quite speechless.

"Our young lady's appearance, the same flower, that magnificence, gold and jade, can you use it to seek fame and find your mother-in-law's family? Only the mother-in-law's family is looking for the reason. Our young lady is really good, she is like doing a good deed. Don't gossip. ”

"How can the eldest lady from Dingguo marry badly? Speaking of reputation, it's not that our mansion is too powerful-" Looking at Xia Li's instantly darkened face, Laifu said weakly: "The main thing is that those people hide terrors in their hearts, they can't see the good of others, and they can also pick out the reasons for making irresponsible remarks." ”

"Let's do the right thing, just let them go!" Xia Lihu said with a blushing face: "Speak carefully, the grandfather heard that just now, do you still want that dogleg?" ”

Laifu shrank his shoulders and gently gave himself a mouth: "I'm begging!" Uncle Xia, then I'll go back to Zhuangzi. Miss Cai Tete confessed, I still stared at it well, in case there is really something wrong, then my life is not enough to compensate. Next time, I'll treat you to a drink. ”

Xia Li rubbed his hands and rushed to the horse and shouted: "I'll go over to check, you have a bright spot!" ”

In the inner courtyard on that side, Shuheng was still touching the tassel pendant on the rich and splendid table of the big red peony, motionless, as if thinking about something.

Now her reputation is being coaxed day by day, but don't make it difficult for herself to ride a tiger in the end - Ma Yun's father said well, if charity is not linked to business, there is only a dead end. What if one day it's childlike, flower skirts or something can't be done?

The human psyche is very strange. If you do good deeds every day, and suddenly one day you don't do it, then there will definitely be people who will jump out, or sigh that you can't finish well, or ridicule will finally reveal the true face of hypocrisy, or even slander and slander. But if a person who always does bad things suddenly washes his hands, it is mostly praised, and "the prodigal son does not change his money" and "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" is specially prepared for this kind of person. It sounds very unfair, but it's true.

Tangerine made up the bed, hung a layer of beaded curtains on the small silver hook in turn, and came over: "Miss will sleep for a while." Grandpa rested in the palace last night, Ju Xiang just came to deliver the message Mrs. hasn't woken up yet, you don't need to say hello today, you almost didn't close your eyes last night. ”

Honey came over with a bowl of rouge yam porridge: "Miss, warm your stomach." If you eat cool air early in the morning, it will be uncomfortable. ”

Shu Heng's attention was attracted by the fragrant and glutinous porridge, and he took out the white porcelain spoon with a red plum bottom in the gold rim wrapped in a hot towel and said: "There is a fire dragon below, there is a smoking cage next to it, and the thick curtain of the big red gorilla felt is separated from the door and window, where is the coolness?" ”

"If you don't rest well, you will have coolness. There's no escaping that. Tangerine personally took the porridge bowl.

Shuheng was forcibly popularized by the girl, and used a bowl of porridge, his stomach was warm, and his heart was warm, and people were energetic, and they immediately became optimistic. It doesn't matter, it's just starting now, you can't be afraid of difficulties, you can be cautious but you can't cower, what can you do if you are cautious? The days are still long, things are always solved by people, and the road is always walked by people. Afraid of what? Anyway, with her there, she will do her best to maintain it. As for the later - eyes closed, who thinks so much.

Tangerine waited for her to finish rinsing her mouth, and persuaded her to rest. Shu Heng was swept away by the sleepiness again, yawned a little, and went to catch up on sleep.

There are no regrets in life when you sleep, what is there that can't be solved by eating enough and sleeping?
