Chapter 63: Wen County (1)

The carriage rolled on the somewhat cracked streets, the closer you got to Wenxian, the more you could feel the summer heat, and occasionally the breeze blew open the curtain of the carriage, but it was also with a thick heat, and the sun above your head seemed to become bigger.

Bai Zhi felt a hint of heat when he sat in the carriage, not to mention Rong Ze and Eldest Sun Yi.

The eldest grandson sweated, ripped off his collar, and fanned his fan with a hula, and his originally neatly dressed, graceful and luxurious appearance immediately turned into a profligate wreck, unruly.

Rong Ze put one hand on the car window, and his slender fingers blocked Bai Zhi's vision intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Zhi glanced at him and pinched him fiercely: "What are you blocking?" When I'm a pervert? ā€

Rong Ze's face was unmoving, and he only glanced at her silently, but when he saw Bai Zhi's anger, he withdrew his hand and said, "This year's summer seems to be extraordinarily hot, why don't you stop in the town in front of you, and I'll go get some ice to cool off for the emperor?" ā€

Changsun Yi was still fanning his fan and said, "No need, it's better to hurry up, but I can still stand it if it's hot, and now it's hot like this, and I don't know what happened to the people in Wen County." ā€

As he spoke, his brows furrowed again, he raised the curtains, and said angrily: "Yu Ke, hurry up, the carriage is so slow, are you colluding with those corrupt officials in Wen County?" ā€

Yu Ke was so frightened that he said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare, the old slave ......."

"Your Majesty, it's already the fastest speed, no matter how fast it is, the horse will not be able to bear it." A deep, hoarse voice came from outside to explain.

Eldest Sun Yi put down the curtain angrily: "It's so slow and I don't know when it will arrive, Rong Ze, do you have a way?" ā€

Bai Zhi set her eyes on Rong Ze, Rong Ze wanted to find a way? Could it be that he still has some magic skills or something? Can you fly?

Rong Ze smiled helplessly: "Back to the emperor, I can't do anything." ā€

The eldest grandson Yi scolded angrily: "None of them are useful." ā€

"......" Bai Zhi squinted at Rong Ze and smiled secretly, but looking at Changsun Yi, he felt that he was too anxious, although he was concerned about Wen County, but it was embarrassing for others to do things that they couldn't do.

There was silence in the carriage, only the sound of Changsun Yi waving the fan vigorously kept ringing, Rong Ze suddenly turned his eyes to Bai Zhi, glanced at her, and motioned for her to sit next to Changsun Yi.

The corners of Bai Zhi's mouth twitched, what did Rong Ze do with her? Ice cubes? She used to be cold and comfortable, it was called a gust of wind, okay? Are you not afraid of polluting the emperor's righteousness?

Rong Ze glanced at her again, and put his hand on Yaoqin's box, implying a threat.

Bai Zhi was depressed: "Okay, you won, if the emperor gets sick, gets a ghost or something, I won't be responsible." ā€

After a few days of non-stop driving, I finally arrived at the boundary of Wen County.

Rong Ze pointed to the cracked land on both sides of the road and said: "The fields of this generation belong to Wen County, and now the land has long been dry and barren, and it seems that the drought is much more serious than imagined." ā€

Eldest Sun Yi frowned: "I remember that there was also a flood in Wen County two years ago?" ā€

Rong Ze nodded: "Yes!" In the past two years, it was rainy in Wenxian County, and there were several floods, which led to a sharp decline in the grain harvest in Wenxian County, but there was still surplus grain to survive, and now, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it! ā€

Eldest Sun Yi sighed: "Wen County is close to the border pass, and it has always been a place for the supply of grain at the border pass, but now this is probably extremely unfavorable to the border pass!" ā€

"Yes!"

When we arrived in Wen County, Wen County had already set up a checkpoint, but fortunately Rong Ze went out with a lot of things, and gave a few pieces of bread to the officers and soldiers guarding it, and gave some water, and the officers and soldiers immediately let us go, and reminded us when leaving: "You be careful not to let people find out that you have food in the car, otherwise, your safety will not be guaranteed!" ā€

Rong Ze nodded solemnly.

Wen County is not big, the whole county is more than 1,000 people, at this time it is noon, the sun is like crazy roasting the earth, Wen County is closed, there is not even a person on the street!

The carriage finally stopped after a period of travel on the road, Bai Zhi took the lead in floating off the carriage, looked up, and saw a small plaque on the dark gate, with the word "Zhoufu" written on it.

This week, she heard Rong Ze say it in private.

The owner of the Zhou Mansion is the former general "Zhou Duo", but he was seriously injured in a battle, his legs fell disabled, and he could only resign as a general.

A few people followed the old butler who came to open the door into the courtyard, and saw that the courtyard was desolate, and the ground was withered and yellowed vines and withered branches, and only a few weeds were a little green, but they were also yellow, wilting and drooping.

Bai Zhi touched Rong Ze and pointed to the yellow fallen leaves to show him.

Rong Ze nodded and said softly: "What should have been planted here before, but unfortunately the drought is too bad. ā€

"Ordinary people plant flowers and grasses, but I didn't expect that this week the house planted vegetables." Bai Zhi sighed, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Why don't we wait until we go back, let's change the flowers of Qingyiguan to grow vegetables, right?" Qingyiguan is such a big yard, if all the vegetables are planted, the saved can be sold, is it an income, okay? ā€

Rong Ze didn't look at her, so he whispered: "I don't lack money for food in Qingyiguan." ā€

The old housekeeper led a few people to the hall: "A few people, wait a minute, the old slave will go and invite the master!" ā€

After the old housekeeper stepped back, Bai Zhi took a turn in the room.

The layout of this room is proper, but in the end I felt that something was wrong, and it took two or three turns to find an abnormality.

After a while, people came, and the two carried a sedan chair into the hall.

The person on the sedan chair had a swarthy face with some stubble on his face, perhaps because of the famine, he was a little mentally weak, but his eyes were still clear.

Seeing the eldest grandson, the man struggled to get off the sedan chair, and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, Weichen has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ā€

The woman who followed behind her also hurriedly knelt down when she heard these two words, and fell to the ground.

Eldest Sun Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite!" He glanced at the others again, and the little servant immediately stepped forward and helped him up and made him sit on the chair.

Zhou Duo said excitedly: "Ling'er, hurry, serve tea to the emperor!" ā€

The woman standing behind him pinched the corner of her clothes and looked embarrassed, opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Bai Zhi looked at her face was yellow, and her lips were white, she must have not eaten and drunk well for a long time, the drought here is like this, it would be good to have water, where can there be tea, I am afraid that Zhou Duo is also excited this time.

Changsun Yi spoke in time to ease Ling'er's embarrassment: "No need, now that Wen County is in drought, how can you still drink tea with peace of mind?" Sit down, I have something to ask. ā€
