Chapter XXVI: Letters

After Shen Yuanning came to Jiangcheng with his father-in-law Chen Ruzhi non-stop, the officials of Jiangcheng were already waiting at the post station.

Shen Yuanning understands the rules of officials and fields, the so-called catching the wind and washing the dust, in fact, is very corrupt and corrupt, it has always been like this, and it is not easy for him to be unique.

As long as it does not affect the progress of water control, he will turn a blind eye, and Chen Ruzhi will settle down.

On the way here, Chen Ruzhi had already instructed him to be mainly responsible for fixing the embankment, and Chen Ruzhi was responsible for the migration and settlement of the people on both sides of the strait.

After all, it was the first time that he had a dream of close contact, and Shen Yuanning was inevitably a little excited, and it was difficult to stop the excitement in his heart.

Chen Ruzhi probably saw his feelings, and reminded him from time to time that he thought twice before doing things, it was difficult to say that it was difficult to calm the water, and it was easy to say that it was easy.

But where did Shen Yuanning hear this, and he was thinking about finding a way to achieve long-term stability.

After three rounds of drinking, some officials have begun to talk nonsense with inarticulate lips, and some officials have begun to make big statements:

"Lord Chen, the prince can only rest assured, what happened in previous years, we don't care, this year is a break and there will be no business trips. A qiē is wrapped around Xia Guan. ”

Shen Yuanning knew that there was a lot of corruption in this water conservancy, and it was not formed in a day or two, especially the floods in Jiangcheng, where flood control embankments were built every year, and disasters still occurred every year. Water and fire are ruthless, manpower is so insignificant in the face of natural disasters, the emperor can't say anything, and the money spent in the household is like flowing water, and it has not improved.

Shen Yuanning had the heart to understand, so he took the initiative to talk:

"Lord Liu, to be honest, this is the first time this official has done such an errand, and I want to know how to do it in previous years? The official should also learn from it. ”

Shen Yuanning said modestly, the official surnamed Liu suddenly burst into joy, knowing that this young prince had not done anything practical, Chen Ruzhi had always lived far away in the capital and had never been in contact with these.

There was already an image of white silver in front of him.

"Shiziye, you can rest assured, the lower officials have already recruited strong men, and tomorrow the disaster relief funds will be allocated, and they will start to strengthen the embankment. The lower officials will also arrange for their subordinates to evacuate the people on both sides of the strait, and wait until the flood season is over to notify them to return. ”

Sure enough, as Shen Yuanning expected, the people on both sides of the strait lived a life of displacement.

Every year, the embankment is fixed, and 10% of the disaster relief funds can be used, and the embankment is also built as solid as gold.

Shen Yuanning held back his anger in his heart, and calmly asked that Lord Liu:

"Dare to ask your lordship, since this embankment has been reinforced, why do the people have to wait until after the flood season to return to their hometowns?"

When the official surnamed Liu heard him ask this, he was sweating in shock, and looked up at him with a calm expression and a curious look, knowing that he was too careful. Only then did he say slowly:

"The prince doesn't know how fast the flood broke out, how could the embankment stop it, just to prevent it from spreading more and reducing the suffering of the people."

Shen Yuanning looked at him with a compassionate attitude, and wanted to press him on the table and beat him fatly, but finally held back.

"Lord Liu really loves the people like a son."

"Wherever and wherever you are appreciated by the Holy One, you should do your best to share the worries of the Holy One."

"When this official returns to Beijing, he will definitely tell the emperor truthfully."

After listening to Shen Yuanning's words, Lord Liu bowed and saluted:

"Thank you for your promotion."

After the banquet was dispersed, the official surnamed Liu insisted on sending Shen Yuanning back to his accommodation, and watched Shen Yuanning enter the door before leaving.

Shen Yuanning entered the room, sat at the table, and remembered Fang Cai's conversation, his eyes narrowed deeply.

Since the emperor has given this opportunity, he has to pull out these bone-possessed insects one by one.

Compared with Shen Yuanning's anxiety in Jiangcheng, Han Yujin's life in the capital was quite nourishing.

If you have nothing to do, you can listen to the play in the Hongchen Hall, and there is a private room on the second floor, which can clearly see and hear the outside world, but will not be seen by the outside world.

The drama of Hongchen is still at the forefront of popularity in all the theaters in the capital, but for Han Yujin, who has experienced a lot of abuse and has a very rich reading history, it is no longer painful, at most it is to kill time.

She also thought that if she didn't have anything to eat here one day, she would go back to her job and write two scripts to sell to Su Su, which was guaranteed to be wonderful.

On the stage, when the male and female protagonists said goodbye in tears, when they saw Su Su come in and gave themselves a look, they knew that she had something, and generally she had something, and it was all related to Zhou Chengan. Han Yujin broke the amber.

Amber glanced at Susu and stepped back without saying anything.

Han Yujin knew that Amber had a deep prejudice against Su Su. More than once knocked on the side to myself.

"Miss Susu, what's wrong?"

"The prince wants to see the county lord."

Really.

"Where?"

Su Su pointed to the next room and smiled.

Han Yujin stood up and followed Su Su to the private room next to her.

Han Yujin entered the door and saw a beautiful picture of begonia spring drunk, but unfortunately the protagonist is a man, but it does not affect the appearance.

Today, Zhou Chengan is wearing a dark red robe, embroidered with slightly dark-colored silk threads, and the whole person is lazy, which makes people want to lie on his side like this with him.

After Su Su ushered her in, she retreated, and there were only two of them in the room at the moment.

"Every time I see the prince, I have a different look."

Zhou Chengan drank the wine jug in his hand, threw the flask aside, and sat up.

"Why not Miss Han?"

Han Yujin didn't care and sat cross-legged opposite him.

"What is the matter with the prince looking for Yujin?"

Looking at her smooth movements, there is no twist of her daughter's family, which is very rare.

Women may be coquettish, weak, dignified, demure, and graceful. Some are like men, rude and sloppy. There are few such light and refreshing, without the weakness of a woman, without the toughness and recklessness of a man, which makes people feel comfortable to watch.

This is probably the natural nature that Su Su said.

"It's okay, this king is just curious, why isn't Miss Han worried about her fiancé at all?"

Han Yujin listened to the three words of this fiancé very harshly, thinking of that marriage...

Forget it, I don't remember villains, I don't have you as an official, and I don't care about you.

"He's so big, he can't lose it, there's nothing to worry about."

Zhou Chengan listened to her tone, I don't know if it was because of Shen Yuanning or what, and his attitude changed a lot from when he first saw him.

"When the Hou Shizi of Yueyang was in the Pingshui disaster, there were disagreements with the officials of Jiangcheng, I heard that even Lord Chen did not support Shen Shizi, and some officials had already asked the emperor to recall the Hou Shizi of Yueyang and send Qin to Jiangcheng again."

This Han Yujin didn't expect it, I remember that it was written in the novel that Shen Yuanning did not encounter such an obstacle when he was flooded in Pingjiang City, but it should have been recommended by the prince two years later. Is there any difference between two years earlier? The same people, the same place, but if you change to Bole, it will be different?

Hey, Shen Yuanning, you are too weak, I am still full of confidence in you, pointing to you for ten or eight years, in less than a month, you will be covered with someone, and you will really lose face.

"The prince knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I didn't point to what he could do. ”

After Zhou Chengan heard this, his smile deepened.

"If this king remembers correctly, Shen Shizi was recommended by Miss Han. Could it be that Miss Han didn't want him to help the emperor solve problems, but wanted to move him far away and delay getting married? ”

Han Yujin laughed dryly, covered her lips with a folding fan and coughed, and said:

"The prince laughed, Yu Jin hopes that the prince will solve the flood in Jiangcheng as soon as possible, so that he can marry me."

After speaking, I thought that the girl's family said that I should be shy in marriage, and I thought that I was done, and it was too late to be shy at this time, so I pretended that I was fine.

Zhou Chengan laughed out loud:

"So, this king is waiting to drink the girl's happy wine."

It was only in the evening that Han Yujin went home.

Zhou Chengan seemed to be in a good mood, and even talked to her about the drama, Han Yujin finally found a place to complain, and complained about the scripts she had read these days.

When Han Yujin sighed: Dog blood, too dog blood.

Zhou Chengan asked her what dog blood means without knowing the situation?

Thinking of his look at that time, Han Yujin still wanted to laugh.

"Girl, the guest in the private room is King An, right? How did you make the girl so happy? ”

Amber watched Han Yujin from the side, and the corners of her mouth twitched from time to time, knowing what she was thinking of something happy. Thinking of the other party's identity and reputation, Amber is sincerely worried.

"Hmm."

Seeing that she didn't want to say, Amber didn't ask again. It's just that the worry in my heart is heavier.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at Chen's mansion, and as soon as he got off the car, the porter greeted him.

"Cousin, you're back. The messengers at the post station have been waiting for a day. ”

Although he was named the county lord, he still called Han Yujin as a cousin in the Chen Mansion.

"The messenger of the station? What are you looking for me? ”

The specific concierge is also unclear, and replied:

"I heard that I sent a letter to the girl, and I was quite anxious to see it."

Han Yujin wondered, who could have written this for herself?

PS:

Small Theatre:

Amber: Alas, the beauty is current, and I'm worried that the girl will go out of the wall.

Shen Yuanning: You let her try!

Yujin: Damn, Amber, go move the ladder!

Shen Yuanning:

Amber:
