Chapter 70: The Locust Plague

Although she said so, maybe Rong Wan had her face in front of Mrs. Marquis of Changping, and Murong Yurao had little defense against her, so she chattered with her for a long time, until the sun went down and Rong Wan promised to come tomorrow, so she was let go home.

Rong Wan was in the Changping Marquis Mansion for a long time, and after returning to the mansion, she was a little tired, and she cleaned up and went to sleep without using her meal.

In the early morning of the second day, Rong Wan had breakfast, and the Marquis of Changping Mansion sent servants to look for each other, for fear that Rong Wan would not go to the general if she broke her promise, Rong Wan was helpless, so she took Bai Yao to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion.

This time, she was forced to stay in the mansion by Murong Yurao for lunch, but before the sun set, Rong Wan came back early, but Yinglu said that Meng Sheng had come, and when she saw that she was not in the mansion, she left again.

Thinking that Meng Sheng would come tomorrow if there was something important, she stayed in the mansion and did not step out of the mansion, and even declined the invitation of the Marquis of Changping, saying that she would go to the mansion in a hurry to make amends.

Sure enough, Meng Sheng really came.

Rong Wan was still welcoming Meng Sheng in the outer courtyard, and after welcoming him to the front hall and sitting firmly, he spoke, "Meng Lang came yesterday, but there was something wrong?" ”

Meng Sheng nodded, frowned at Rong Wan, and said with some guilt, "This summer is extremely hot, and locust plagues have occurred in many places around Bianjing, and there is an immortal trend. ”

This time, I actually came to say goodbye.

After all, Rong Wan is now helpless in Bianjing, and as her fiancΓ©, she has to go on a trip at this time, no matter what, she is not very relieved.

But obviously, Rong Wan didn't care about this.

As soon as she heard that locust plagues had occurred in many places, Rong Wan asked suspiciously, "Why is it so sudden, locust plagues have occurred in many places together?" ”

Meng Sheng shook his head, and when he said this, there was a little condensation in his tone, "It's not sudden, it's the local officials who concealed the disaster and didn't report it, which caused the spread of the locust plague." ”

If it is said that local officials conceal and do not report, but if there are many places, how can officials in many places conceal and fail to report?

Meng Sheng naturally knew what Rong Wan was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "It's not that I didn't report it, but I was pressed down before I heard it to the sky." ”

Thinking about this, Meng Sheng couldn't help frowning, so he said more to Rong Wan, "Your Majesty has been obsessed with the theory of immortals for a while, and some officials have said that the immortals will wipe out the locust plague, and that the locusts do not eat food and only drink water, and that the locusts kill each other inexplicably. ”

In ancient times, they believed in Buddhism, so that since ancient times, they have been superstitious that burning incense and worshiping Buddha can solve the problem, and it is not impossible for the saint to do so.

"If Your Majesty was deceived, why do you have to deal with the locust plague now?" Rong Wan asked.

Meng Sheng glanced at Rong Wan deeply, and then spoke, "It's Uncle Xun Guo, who dragged a few chamberlains to follow him outside the city, and he dared to tell the truth in front of His Majesty because of the misery of the locust." ”

Such a barbaric style is quite similar to Xun Zhan's style.

Rong Wan knew the reason, so she didn't ask more, but talked about the locust plague again, "This locust plague has been harming for so long, I'm afraid it's not easy to govern, what can be done by the head of the household?" ”

The head of the household is now forty and five, and he has been in charge of the head of the house for a long time, and there was also a locust plague during his reign, and he heard that when the locust plague did not rise in a big way, he was very accurate, and the knife fell in his hand, and the locust plague was cured, but now this large area is not very easy to govern.

Meng Sheng naturally said, "Maybe I want to find the natural enemies of the locusts, and drive the locusts to break and burn, but I'm afraid it will take a little more time!" ”

That's why he said he didn't know when he would come back, and no one knew how long it would take for this matter to get better.

Rong Wan didn't ask anymore, she lost a lot of crops this time, I'm afraid that there are more and more refugees, such a natural disaster, it is estimated that His Majesty will issue an edict to the world.

Meng Sheng chatted with Rong Wan for a while, then went back to the house, and the next day he really set off with the Hubu Shangshu, went out of Bianjing, and began to exterminate locusts on a large scale.

It's just that this time I have been gone for more than two months, and the residual temperature of summer is about to dissipate, and the sky will become cooler.

And these days, Rong Wan not only had a very close relationship with Murong Yurao, but also became warm with Li Yaole and Ji Fu, and at that time, life was even better than when Luo Qian was still alive.

It's just that no matter what, as long as she behaves and abides by her duties, the Qi family will not punish her again, but so, she has never seen the Qi family again, even if she has just passed her fourteenth birthday, except for Murong Yurao, Li Yaole and Ji Fu, no one will look at her birthday ceremony.

This is Rong Wan's first birthday that the Qi family doesn't care about.

Rong Jun went to the main courtyard to ask for peace every two days, but when he came back to talk to Rong Wan, he deliberately avoided meeting with Qi.

It's just that Rong Wan knows it and doesn't want to say more.

After the locust plague was almost controlled, Meng Sheng returned with the head of the household department, and was promoted by His Majesty to the rank of servant of the ministry, and the official worshiped the third grade, compared with his previous rank, he actually jumped two levels in a row.

And this matter was originally within the scope of the Hubu Shangshu, but it was still a reward for the Hubu Shangshu and reassured his heart.

When choosing the crown princess for the crown prince, the wedding date was set for June, and because of Qi Yanran's accident, the crown princess was replaced by Cai Yuji, and the wedding date was changed to August, and now due to the locust plague, the wedding date has been postponed to March of the following year.

However, the royal affairs are very unpredictable, and the people dare not discuss it.

In the blink of an eye, it is approaching winter, and it has been nearly a year since she was reborn, and what happened during this period also made her sad, but the person who has gone is gone, the world is unpredictable, and the guilt, regret and sadness will stay in her heart for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, in mid-October, the Hundred Flowers Poetry Club headed by the Yongle Marquis Mansion finally came to an end because of Qi Yanran's gaffe, but now the future princess Cai Yuji held a new poetry meeting.

Because of the famous name of the future crown princess, there are more noble girls who go, and Rong Wan still received the post.

Even if her family is ruined now, she has a good relationship with Murong Yurao, the young daughter of the Marquis of Changping, but she also has a little thin face, so she has this slightly fragrant plum blossom post in front of her.

The day is set on the fifth day of February every year, at that time, the plum blossom Turui, the momentum is like a sea of snow, the mountains are full of valleys, the fragrance is intoxicating, the fragrance smells several miles, it is called "the sea of fragrant snow." ”

It is said that this name is the name given by the queen, and since then the plum blossom post of "Xiangxue Hai" has become famous, and non-plum blossom posts can not enter the "Xiangxue Sea", and all the people in the "Xiangxue Sea", regardless of the quality of the poem, the reputation is not extraordinarily good.

Naturally, that's an afterthought.

And now that this matter has been settled in advance, I am afraid that there are many people who are happy and some who are worried.
