Chapter 23 Waterlogging in Quanzhou
"Respectfully Mrs. Li" The loud greetings of the little maids outside the house brought Nalan Qi back to her senses, and through the gap in the mahogany screen, she vaguely saw the tall figure stepping in under the curtain of the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Luo Jinxiu in my heart, spit pearls in my mouth" My father and Mrs. Li are friends who have forgotten their years, and their evaluation of him is also very high. In his previous life, because of this relationship, Nalan Qi and Li Shu, the granddaughter of Mrs. Li, also became close friends of the boudoir.
Li Shu, thinking of his handkerchief friend who was "as beautiful as an orchid in temperament and more talented than an immortal", Nalan Qi was stunned. When Li Shu died, she had been detained in the old mansion of the Huang Mansion, just waiting for a good day and an auspicious day to marry the idiot of the Huang family. Li Shu's ending was told by Nalan Yu in order to humiliate her.
"Do you remember your good sister who wants to wear clothes and flowers? She died, in a refugee camp in the capital, incapacitated, and very debauched. ”
That day, the weather was gloomy, and Nalan Yu stood in front of her, smiling proudly.
"It's ridiculous to say, King Li of Youzhou led 100,000 iron cavalry to capture the thirteen counties and set foot on the royal capital, even the saint also took his few subordinates to abandon the city and flee. That Mrs. Li is very high-spirited, shouting that no one has died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat and youth, and martyred the country with his body.
He is good, he does not fall into the prestige of the ancestors, but he is pitiful to the forty members of the Li family, who were slaughtered, and I don't know whether Li Shu is fortunate or unlucky.
It's a pity that she is a fierce one, and she stabbed her husband to death with a bun on her wedding night, but she was discovered before she could die. King Li was furious and ordered her to be stripped naked and taken to the refugee camp. Sister, haven't the family always praised you for being well-read and knowledgeable? Do you know what a refugee camp is? Who are some of them?
Alas, I say, you still don't know as well. I heard that when Li Shu died, his body was incomplete, and he didn't even have any clothes to cover his body, and he was ugly and tight. Haha, sister, you said that the first beauty in the imperial capital ended up like this, isn't it ridiculous? ”
That day, Nalan Qi didn't cry, because she also felt ridiculous.
Ha ha! Doesn't the book of the sages say that those who are good will rejoice in the day? Doesn't it say that sinners are not forgiven?
But why? The people who are loyal to the festival are ruined! Those who steal their lives can still get drunk and dream of death!
Ha ha! Doesn't the book of sages say that there are six reincarnations, the cycle of cause and effect? But where is the sky? Where is the Word? Heaven is unfair, and it is unfair!
"Brother Li, I'm really ashamed of my brother, I should have visited your house, but today the little girl came back to the door and couldn't get out. Yuze, concubine, haven't you admired Mrs. Li for a long time? Don't come and see you yet. Huang Shangshu's hearty laughter came from outside the screen, followed by the respectful greetings of Nalan Yu and Nalan Yuze.
"Good! Good! I didn't know that Shangshu had such two energetic grandsons, and I was really envious of others. Mrs. Li responded with a smile, but there was a sense of anxiety in her tone.
"Taifu is really joking, no one in the capital knows that your eldest grandson Li Weimo is young and can write poetry at the age of five. You're here to make fun of me. Huang Shangshu said humbly, turned his head and loudly ordered his maid to make a new pot of tea.
"No, no, Shang Shu should be polite. After I had finished my discussion with Shangshu, I went to visit Lord Nie, the governor of the river. Mrs. Li shook her head again and again, frowning, and her face was solemn.
"Last night, the county guard of Quanzhou sent someone to send an emergency report of 800 miles, saying that it was a night attack in a flood. It's raining all the time, and it's all over the place. Rage! The whole city of Quanzhou can be said to be surrounded by the ocean, mourning all over the wilderness, and the people are not happy! “
Mrs. Li took a long breath, and said helplessly: "Water and fire are ruthless!" I picked up the news last night, tossed and turned, and stayed up all night. In the 30 years of pouring ink, the city of Quanzhou was also flooded, and the first emperor ordered 30,000 people to go to Quanzhou to rescue and rescue. But now, not to mention the suppression of the rebels a few years ago, our national strength has been greatly reduced. Let's just say that these days, the tribes in the northeast border continue to invade the border, and only one of the sixteen guards is left to guard the capital, and the rest are all going to the border passes, and no one can go to fight the disaster. Just relying on the more than 1,000 people of the river governor is simply a mantis arm as a car! “
Nalan Qi saw Mrs. Li pacing back and forth in the main hall through the gap, his face was iron-blue. Huang Shangshu also sat on the kang, bowing his head and pondering.
"Mrs. Li, grandfather, Yu Ze has an idea." Nalan Yuze, who had been standing silently in the corner, suddenly spoke, and his voice was very shy.
"Don't talk nonsense! Let's hang out. Huang Shangshu glared and scolded.
"Oh? What's your idea? Mrs. Li didn't despise it, half-squatted down, and looked at Nalan Yuze with a blazing gaze.
"This morning, I came to my grandfather's house with my father and mother, and I happened to meet Lord Zuo Lang Fang out of the city, with a team of guards, about 20 people, all of them burly and strong."
Nalan Yuze paused for a moment, and saw that everyone was staring at him seriously, and his voice was much louder than before.
"Now there are 801 officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital, almost every household is guarded, I heard the small servant in the house say, it is a four-grade civil official like the doctor of Zhongsan, and there are also fifty guards at home, most of them are well-trained, no less than the sixteen guards of the palace soldiers.
At present, there are natural disasters inside and human disasters outside, even ordinary people's families should also contribute, let alone officials. If half of the guards can be collected, it will definitely be able to solve the urgent needs of Quanzhou City. “
There was silence in the main hall, and Mrs. Li didn't know when she moved to the bottom of the house, gently tapped the window frame with her fingers, and lowered her head in contemplation, but Nalan Qi's heart was clear.
