The father and son of the family have been going out early and returning late for several days, and even Mrs. Fu, who has always been dull, felt it, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Gu Chen only said that it was very serious, and told her not to worry about it, and said that she just took care of Fu Fangfei wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Fu also knew that she was a woman in the house and couldn't do anything. I don't ask more, but I always feel sorry for the two of them in my heart, and I tell them every day

The kitchen cooks something delicious and delivers it to them.

It's just that I'm worried after all, when I see Fu Fangfei again, I will talk too much, and I will inevitably nag a few words. When Fu Fangfei heard this, she was also worried, and she had to persuade her mother with words.

Xinyan listened a lot, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: According to this situation, the drought is very serious, and if it continues to develop, the people will not have a harvest, will there be a famine?

I don't know what happens at home? It seems that there is also a small grange under the name of the Li family, and those who usually eat some fresh melons and vegetables can also deal with it, will it be affected?

Then I thought about my father, by the way, what happened to my father? The county is already poor and depends on the sky for food, and now there is another drought, will there be a civil uprising? ……

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became. I wanted to ask Mrs. Fu more details, but Mrs. Fu didn't know much.

Emperor Cheng also went around every other place before, sent something or something, during this time, Emperor Cheng almost did not set foot in the harem, and I heard that after the next dynasty, he rested directly in the Zhongtai Palace.

However, the Queen Mother sent someone to send a lot of tonic to Fu Fangfei two days ago, and then the Queen Mother also came once, and after that, no one cared.

Xinyan now goes to Yijing Palace whenever she is free, and accompanies Fang Fei to talk to relieve her boredom.

The drought continued until July, with no sign of abating, and trees were already dying outside the city. The two lotus ponds in the Imperial Garden have finally bottomed out. The lotus leaves were wilting and lying in the mud, and a layer of oily foam-like water was bubbling, and the sun was shining against the greasy light, which made people feel stunned for no reason.

There are several wells that have run out of buckets of water. A few pots of flowers in the yard have long been exhausted, and Xiao Quanzi hasn't bothered with them for a long time, this water is really expensive, and no one knows when the drought will go.

Finally, Mrs. Fu brought over the news that Xin Yan was struck by lightning, and what she was faintly worried about still happened: "A large-scale locust plague broke out in Pingzhou, especially in Lu County, which is adjacent to Lu County.

Emperor Cheng convened his ministers overnight in the imperial study to discuss the management of the locust plague. Several waves of personnel were sent out one after another. However, the disaster is getting worse and worse, and it is said that it has spread to the surrounding states and counties. Luxian bore the brunt.

Gu Xinyan was so anxious that she burned the ground, and within two days, there were several big bubbles in her mouth.

She runs to Yijing Palace three times a day, except for eating and sleeping, she can't stick there.

Fu Fangfei also knew that Xin Yan was in a hurry, but her knowledge was limited, and most of the news came behind her, and it was often a few days before the news arrived at them today.

The current situation is changing three times a day.

The officials who went to govern in front have returned, and they have been demoted by the angry Emperor Cheng because of the disadvantage of exterminating locusts, and the county orders of Pingzhou Governor and Lu County have been dismissed on the spot, and there is no news from Yu County.

Emperor Cheng sent a second batch, but there was no substantial progress, and Emperor Cheng was so anxious that he directly threw the fold on the face of Lord Shangshuwan in the main hall. The gray-bearded Lord Wan was so frightened that he fainted directly in the hall.

Emperor Cheng had a dark face, waved the sleeves of his robe, and pointed to the officials in the hall who were patrolling one by one, and the accused officials all bowed their heads and did not dare to look directly at him. After turning around for half a circle, Emperor Cheng suddenly sighed, lowered his hands dejectedly, turned around, and said no more.

The ministers behind him looked at each other, at a loss.

No one in the hall spoke.

After a long time, someone came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please go to Pingzhou to exterminate locusts." ”

All the ministers turned their heads, some were surprised, and some were happy. When he saw who it was, someone laughed in his heart and said secretly: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I don't know the sky and the earth is thick......

Fu Chen couldn't stop it, and secretly complained in his heart.

Emperor Cheng turned around and looked at Fu Yuyan fixedly, a touch of appreciation appeared in his eyes, which was fleeting.

In the evening of the same day, Chuan Fangfei heard the news that made her heart tremble: Emperor Cheng sent Fu Yuyan to Pingzhou, and the Lord of the Household Department went with him, and set off two days later. She opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Gu Xinyan, who also looked suspicious.

Here, after the dispersal, a few people who were close to the Fu family came up and patted Fu Chen's shoulder to show comfort, and left one by one.

The father and son of the Fu family were silent all the way, and when they returned to the house, Fu Yuyan and Fu Chen went into the study. After a while, Fu Yuyan came out and rode away.

Gu Chen then leaned out and summoned Uncle Quan, who also crossed the horse.

Uncle Quan returned in the evening, and there was a big car behind him, and a group of old men jumped out of the car and went to the study with Uncle Quan.......

In the side hall of Yijing Palace, a table of food has not been touched. Fu Fangfei was dumbfounded, and before she had fully digested the news, Gu Xinyan stayed by her side. Neither had much of an appetite. After a few bites, he was withdrawn. You look at me, I look at you, and you both see the worry in their eyes.

Fang Fei frowned, and returned in vain. It seems that the emperor can't think about it. Isn't this any better than marching to war, can the eldest brother do it? It's only been half a month, and five or six officials have already been dismissed, just in case ...... One is a father and the other is an elder brother......

Xinyan's eyes were scattered, staring at the rosewood round table, but her mind was desperately recalling the memories of the locust.

At this time, the study of the heirloom was brightly lit, and several old men with gray hair sat around a large square table in the hall, discussing nervously and softly. There were a few old peasants squatting on one side of the east wing, arguing fiercely about something.

Chuan Yuyan frowned, the locust plague is ferocious, and it has spread to the surrounding counties, judging from the battle report, the situation has become more and more severe in the past two days.

Xinyan said goodbye to Fangfei and returned to her room, sat quietly for a long time, and then went back to find Fangfei: "Sister Chuan, please bring a letter to Brother Ling." ”

Fang Fei's eyes widened and she glared at Xinyan.

Xinyan straightened her face and said, "I have a few words that I want to give to my father, Brother Ling is going to Pingzhou, and I want to ask him to bring a letter." ”

Fang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest exaggeratedly: "Can you finish speaking at one time, it scares me." ”

Soon, Fang Fei sent Xinyan's letter to the heirloom.

Chuan Yuyan received the letter, inexplicably, after listening to Fu Shun's words, his eyes moved, and he looked at the letter in his hand.

The envelope is plain kraft paper, thin. There seemed to be a faint fragrance, he raised it a little, looked at the lamp carefully, and it was not sealed. The slightest scent wafts from within.

With a thought, he turned back to the study, lit the candle, and pulled out the letter with two fingers!

Unfold the white snowflake paper, and a beautiful hairpin flower is printed into your eyes. After a quick browsing, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually put away, and he sat down and browsed again, for a long time, with a solemn expression.

Suddenly got up, stuffed the letter back into the envelope as it was, stuffed it into the placket on the chest, and got up and called: Fushun! ……
