Counting up, that year, Yue Zirong was only sixteen years old, which was the age when he rose to prominence in Langzhong. Liang Jieyu, who has been in the boudoir for a long time, sees the most energetic young man in Langzhong, I am afraid that it will be unforgettable at a glance.

Herself...... Why not.

Just as she was in a daze, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Yu Ruoxu didn't sit down and almost fell from her seat.

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on?" Xiu'er grabbed her and asked angrily.

"Miss...... Miss, give me something to eat......" There was a pleading voice outside the car, and Uncle Zhang scolded, "Let's go!" Go away! Our young lady's car dares to stop it, I think you are ......" Hearing Xiu'er's words, Uncle Zhang hurriedly opened the curtain, "Miss is angry, it's some people who ask for food, and they stop our car to beg for food!" The little ones send them away! “

"Oh?" Yu Ruoxu's heart tightened, and hurriedly stopped Uncle Zhang, "You wait." “

"Huh? Miss, this is ......."

When those beggars saw Yu Ruoxu, they all rushed up, each of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their dirty hands stretched out in front of Yu Ruoxu, "Miss...... We're going to starve! Ask the young lady to get some food! ”

Yu Ruoxu looked at the beggars and asked, "Where are you from?" Why doesn't the accent sound like someone from the capital? ”

One of the beggars said, "We fled from Hebei, and many people died along the way!" Please be kind and give us something to eat! ”

The people around him hurriedly chimed in, "That's right...... Please, Miss, be well, we've been hungry for days! “

Hebei!

It seems that some of the victims have fled to the capital.

Yu Ruoxu saw their ragged appearance, especially some children, who were skinny like a carrot, and couldn't bear it, "Uncle Zhang, take out all the money you have with you and give them it." “

Uncle Zhang answered, and threw the money bag to the ground with a little disgust, "Hurry up, don't get in the way of our young lady!" “

The beggars gathered around the car turned around to snatch the silver that had been thrown on the ground, and Uncle Zhang took the opportunity to change the direction of the carriage and detoured back to Yufu.

Yu Ruoxu was a little anxious, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes when she got out of the carriage, so she rushed to the study and asked Yu Zhongjun, "Daddy, does the household department have any silver promised to give disaster relief?" ”

Yu Zhongjun saw that she looked angry, "They are still spending time with me." What's wrong, so anxious? ”

Yu Ruoxu then remembered that he still looked like a dusty servant, but he couldn't care about it so much, "Daddy, on my way back from the palace today, I met a disaster victim from Hebei. ”

"They said that many people starved to death along the way from Hebei to the capital."

"If you don't think about it, not only Hebei, but even the capital will be in chaos!"

Yu Zhongjun frowned, "I heard this morning that a large number of disaster victims poured into the capital, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin also said that the city gate would be sealed to avoid panic caused by the large-scale disaster victims entering the city. “

"Lockdown?!" Yu Ruoxu's eyes widened, "What did the Queen Mother say?" “

"The Queen Mother didn't say anything at the time, but many people in the Liang family seconded it." There was indescribable tiredness in Yu Zhongjun's eyes, "My father has already sent someone to invite the Marquis of Dingyuan again, I don't know if he can stand up and express his position this time." “

Yu Ruoxu lowered her head and thought for a while, and asked, "Daddy, what will happen if the disaster victims can't enter the city?" “

"It may gather on the outskirts of Beijing, if there are people with ill intentions...... Mutiny is possible. Yu Zhongjun was stunned word by word, and Yu Ruoxu was terrified when he heard it.

But at this time, she didn't have anything to do. A deep sense of weakness spread out of her limbs, and she sighed, "Daddy......"

Yu Zhongjun couldn't help but tremble when he saw his daughter showing a desolate look, "Don't worry, my father will personally go to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion tomorrow to ask for a meeting, if he doesn't come out, I will stand in the Hou Mansion and not leave!" “

The next day, as soon as Yu Zhongjun left, the carriage of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion appeared in front of the Yu Mansion.

When Yu Ruoxu stepped into the flower hall, Liang Jin, the prince of Dingyuan, was looking at a painting hanging in the lobby, and when he saw her coming, he smiled and said, "This is the first time that this prince has seen Mr. Wu Sanfu's true landscapes." “

Because of the ambiguous attitude of Marquis Dingyuan, Yu Ruoxu didn't have much affection for Liang Jin, but he still bowed according to the rules and said coldly, "This is Daddy's favorite painting." “

"It seems that Mrs. Yu and this son are like-minded." Liang Jin got closer again, "This Mr. Wu's landscape is really exquisite." “

Yu Ruoxu sneered, "It is the honor of our Yu family that the prince likes this painting, but after all, this is my father's love, and the folk girl still can't be the master." ”

Seeing her cold look, Liang Jin raised her eyebrows, lining her eyes to look particularly good, "I really can't hide it from Miss Yu, this son is presumptuous today." “

"If the prince has something to say, he might as well say it directly."

Yu Ruoxu sat down with a clear eye, "Presumably, the prince made a special trip to find the people's daughter." “

"That's right." Liang Jin also sat next to her, "This morning, this prince entered the palace to greet her at the behest of Jieyu Niangniang. “

"Jieyu Niangniang is not in good health, and if her brother goes to visit, she will naturally get better quickly."

"That's nature." Liang Jin saw that her face was indifferent, and there was a little more thin anger in her voice, "Jieyu Niangniang also asked me to ask Miss Yu a question." “

"Oh? What's the problem? ”

"Son-in-law Rong Gongzi, are you okay?"

Yu Ruoxu pinched the corner of her clothes with her left hand, "I think I have already answered Niangniang." “

"Niangniang said, she only asks for peace of mind." Liang Jin stared at her, her extremely black eyes seemed to have two hands, wanting to drag her into a bottomless black hole, "If you don't forget, there will be an echo." If one person has been thinking about another person for so many years, it should have a result. “

Yu Ruoxu smiled, "I didn't expect the folk girl to have this blessing and the echo of being a mother." “

"The more Miss Yu is so secretive, the more suspicious Niangniang becomes." He whispered, "If you want to hide it from her, why do you act so clumsy." “

Yu Ruoxu is like being poured ice water, and she can't resist the heart-wrenching coldness in this hot summer.

"You should just let her go." Liang Jin's voice came slowly, Yu Ruoxu closed her eyes and smiled desolately, "Let her go?" My mother treats me kindly, where does the son of the world start? “

Liang Jin had never seen her with such an expression, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and after a while, his voice paused and said, "If Miss Yu helps Jieyu Niangniang, this son can promise you one thing to express gratitude." ”

Yu Ruoxu seemed to have heard some big joke, "Lord Shizi, is this a deal?" ”

"If you think so, forget it."

Yu Ruoxu was speechless, and after a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said slowly, "Then ask the prince of the world to persuade the Marquis of Dingyuan to go to court." ”

Liang Jin was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?" ”

"The people's daughter begged the prince to persuade your father to say a word for the victims of Hebei and Henan in the court!"

Liang Jin seemed to be a little incredulous, but he still quickly responded, "...... Okay, this son promises you. ”

Yu Ruoxu didn't expect him to promise so happily, and he was overjoyed in his heart, "Xie Shizi." After speaking, she thought for a while and said, "Lord Shizi, please wait a while, the folk girl will go back when she goes." ”

Liang Jin nodded, "Miss Yu, please." ”

Seeing her figure disappear into the doorway, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He always thought that her Bing Xue was smart and empathetic, and she was just the wit of some boudoir women. Unexpectedly, she would give birth to such a delicate heart.

Really...... is worthy of being the second miss of the Yu family.

After half a pillar of incense, Yu Ruoxu's figure appeared in the flower hall again.

She handed Liang Jin a small object wrapped in a plain cloth and said, "Please also bother the prince and give this jade cicada to Niangniang." “

Before Liang Jin could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly said in shock, "Cicada?!" “

The jade contains cicadas, which is the top product of the funeral.

Folk customs, when the deceased enters the earth, the mouth contains a jade cicada, which has the meaning of feathering and ascending to the immortal, and does not stick to dirt.

"How did he ......" After a while, Liang Jin slowly spoke.

"Sickness is like a mountain, and who can escape." Yu Ruoxu's face was expressionless, but there was an imperceptible slight tremor on her slender shoulders.

"......" Liang Jin was stunned for a moment and was silent.

Yu Ruoxu saw that his face turned pale, and said softly, "There is another sentence, please bring it to the prince." “

"What?"

"Forget it."

Liang Jin's face was even more pale, "...... Okay, thank you Miss Yu. “

After speaking, he didn't even say goodbye, took the jade cicada into his arms, and staggered out of the flower hall. Yu Ruoxu seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and sat back in her chair.

"Lord Yu."

"Wechen meets the prince."

Yu Ruoxu vaguely heard his father's voice, it should be his father who came back from the Hou Mansion and happened to meet Liang Jin at the door.

She hurriedly went out to greet her, "Daddy, are you back?" “

Yu Zhongjun stood upright in the patio, his face a little dark and uncertain. Yu Ruoxu didn't know how long he had been standing there, or if he had heard something again.

Or...... They all heard it.

"I just happened to meet the prince coming out." Yu Zhongjun's expression was not abnormal, "Ruoxu, what did you say to the prince?" “

“…… It's nothing, it's just that the daughter and Jieyu Niangniang hit it off at first sight, and the prince happened to enter the palace today to ask for peace, and the mother asked him to come over and bring some rewards. “

The explanation full of loopholes, Yu Ruoxu himself didn't believe it.

But it seems that he has deceived Yu Zhongjun, "I see...... It's a good thing that you and Jieyu are close. “

Yu Ruoxu only felt a splitting headache, and walked over to hug Yu Zhongjun, "It's hot outside, let's go in quickly." ”

Yu Zhongjun let her into the study, and when he saw her close the door, he said slowly, "...... Are you sure about this step? ”

"Do your best, just obey the destiny of heaven." Yu Ruoxu poured some water into the inkstone, held his sleeve and began to grind, "How is Daddy?" ”

Yu Zhongjun's face was solemn, "Marquis Dingyuan hasn't let go yet, but he is willing to see me today." ”

"If you grind like this, maybe the silver hasn't arrived yet, and Hebei and Henan are already starving."

Yu Ruoxu said hatefully, and the radish tassel-like children who stopped by the car yesterday came to mind, "Now I just hope that the prince will speak." ”

Both father and daughter were preoccupied, and the entire study fell silent.

It wasn't until after dinner that Yu Ruoxu cheered up and continued to help Yu Zhongjun sort out today's official letter. However, she couldn't resist the attack of sleepy insects, and the words in her eyes became more and more blurry, and she almost couldn't even hold the pen.

It seemed that someone had taken a piece of clothing to cover her body, and Yu Ruoxu seemed to see Yue Zirong with a handsome face and a ring ruler in her hand. She was startled, "Teng" sat up, and said dimly, "Senior Brother Zirong, I was wrong, I will ...... immediately" The world suddenly turned in front of her, and the Hechuan Academy in her dream became the study of Yu's mansion, and she was lying on the desk, Yu Zhongjun stood aside, her hands were still on her shoulders, and she looked like she was wearing clothes for her.

"Daddy......" She came back to her senses and couldn't help but be a little nervous, "I ......"

"You're too tired today, go back to your room early and rest." Yu Zhongjun sighed and stroked her sweaty forehead, "It's okay to sort out these official letters tomorrow." ”

“…… Be. Yu Ruoxu looked a little embarrassed as if she had seen through the secret, and hurriedly got up and said, "Then Daddy will rest earlier." After saying that, he hurriedly pushed the door to leave.

Before he could close the door, he heard Yu Zhongjun say softly, "Daughter, you told Jieyu Niangniang to forget, but can you forget it yourself?" ”

Yu Ruoxu's heart ached, she didn't even have the strength to take a step, and after a while, she replied, "I just remember him in my dreams." “

If it weren't for the dream, she would have forgotten it.
