"Thank you for the reminder, I'll pay attention to what you say." Hua Shangxue replied with a smile.

Zheng Guangtang saw Hua Shangxue's appearance, and knew that she had listened to her reminder, but to what extent he could attach importance to it was not something he could interfere with, anyway, the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he would no longer dwell on this topic.

"By the way, since you have returned to the Zheng family, I don't know what happened to Hua Xiaolan now?" Hua Shangxue couldn't help asking, she didn't plan to involve someone from that family, but she was more or less an acquaintance, and Zheng Guangtang was a member of her husband's family, so she asked casually.

"Huh, don't you know? Hua Xiaolan died of dystocia during childbirth as early as two years ago, although it was not a corpse and two lives, but the daughter she gave birth to was suffocated because she had been in her mother's womb for too long, and her mind became a little sluggish. However, this child looks like a smart man, and he has never been harshly reprimanded by his family for losing his mother. ”

Hua Shangxue is only embarrassed about Hua Xiaolan's death, but her children are still alive and well, and God is open to God after all.

After a brief chat with Zheng Guangtang, he also got up and said goodbye, everything that should be said was said, and the two of them just had a shallow friendship because of fate, but they never had too in-depth topics, so they didn't say goodbye.

"Xiao Qi, do you think the person who met with Jin Se in Zheng Guangtang's words needs to pay attention? Or does Jin Se's disappearance have nothing to do with Xuanwangfu, but the person who rescued her from the beginning? After returning to the living room, Hua Shangxue asked Yu Miying.

"Don't overthink it. Maybe the so-called meeting person is just some of the people in Jinse's many dealings, for example, it is not impossible to hire someone to hire a contact person like the ghost fox couple, and even it is not impossible to buy a middleman like the poison that harmed you, and you don't need to scare yourself. After all, the people who took Jin Se away after we let it go still have some scruples about our feelings to do this, Yun Jinze or the old princess are more likely, after all, they are people who have lived together for so long, and they still have some feelings, and they will not let her fend for herself. Yu Mi Ying opened her mouth to comfort. Hua Shangxue also agrees with this statement.

At this moment, after going through those things in the past. Regarding what happened to Jin Se, Hua Shangxue couldn't help but think of what the abbot master of Guanghe Temple in Qianfeng Mountain said when he looked at her at Jin Se's request.

A thought of becoming a Buddha can also become a demon, isn't today's Jinse the best portrayal of this?

Alas, this world is too impermanent after all. It's not something anyone can control.

Early the next morning. Hua Shangxue changed into men's clothes. With Yu Mi Ying and others, a group of six people rode out of Xijing City.

I don't know when I will return to Xijing City after leaving this time.

The final destination of Hua Shangxue and his party will be the fiefdom of Yumiyao in Huzhou. But before that, I was going to make a detour to Pingzhou, and first go back to Sixi Town, Songxian County to see my mother and others.

When Jiang Yunxian left Sixi Town with Jiang's father, her younger brother Hua Xiacao was only five years old, and now she is sixteen years old, and her younger brother at this time is also eleven years old, and he is a sensible little adult.

With the intelligence he showed when he was a child, he should have already participated in the merit assessment, and it was time to pass the township test.

When she thought of the young Hua Xia Cao, Hua Shangxue couldn't help but smile, this younger brother who had been sticking to her since she was a child, and she missed it very much after so many years.

If it weren't for the windfall that Xijing City had made her feel uneasy, she didn't dare to spend it at will, and she would have spent money to let people pass on the news of her family in the past few years, and she wouldn't have left this way, except for the letterhead she had not reserved an address, there would have been no news.

At this moment, no matter what, I have to go back, at least to see that the whole family is okay, and introduce Yu Mi to my family, although I can't reveal his identity, at least a simple introduction is no problem.

At that time, the excuse for spending snow has already been thought of.

Let Yu Mi Ying return home with her as a businessman, as for the identity of the prince and the like, it is still inconvenient to disclose it for the time being, after all, it is good for his family to live a peaceful life without quarrel with the world, and if he knows too much, he will involve too much, but he can't have a peaceful life anymore.

Sometimes ordinary is also a blessing, and there is no need to ruin the peaceful life of your family.

Along the way, from Xizhou back to Pingzhou, she never wasted time on the road with snow, how could she waste time on playing.

When I was at the border of Xizhou, everything was normal, but when I was close to the border of Pingzhou, I had already seen many fleeing victims flocking to the villages near Xizhou, with two or three hundred people at most and a dozen people at the least.

When seeing this situation, there were also those refugees, after seeing Hua Shangxue and his party riding horses, not only did they not rush up to ask for things, but avoided them in fear, such a reaction undoubtedly made Hua Shangxue couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Qi, is this flood in Pingzhou really so serious?" Refugees have fled here? ”

Yu Miying was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiaoxue, in fact, the disasters in Pingzhou are not all floods, and there are rare droughts. The drought came relatively early, almost all the food died, the hungry people were numerous, and when the imperial court brought the food, it was on the road again, and it rained heavily. Originally, it rained well, but the rain went on and on, and eventually it became a flood, drowning everything that was left. This can be regarded as a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and two extreme disasters occurred one after another in two months, and the people were miserable. What you see now is pretty good, if you go deeper into the hinterland of Pingzhou, you will find that this road is almost a waterway, and the only good thing is probably that your family Sandefu generation is located in a few counties in the high mountains, which has not suffered much damage, but it has also become a refuge for nearby victims, and it is not a very good situation. As for their reaction, in fact, it is normal, there is a section of the road that is the only way to Huzhou, and it is inevitable that there will be disaster victims on the way, and the merchants who go to Huzhou or some powerful people have a bad attitude towards these refugees, they are bullied and afraid to do so, not against us. However, the water has begun to slowly recede, and it is believed that people will soon be able to return to their homes, but it is quite troublesome to rebuild, especially in terms of food. However, you don't have to worry about this, I have already ordered people to buy food with the money you submitted, and I will build a porridge shed to relieve the victims after the flood recedes. ”

Listening to Yu Miyao's words, Hua Shangxue could only sigh infinitely, there was not much he could do, rather than leaving them silver to coax and rob innocent people, it was more practical to let people prepare food relief.

"It's better to go to the nearby towns first, and if you can't meet a good rich man to open a porridge shack, let's also leave some money to talk about our hearts, so that the other party can benefit the victims." Hanayuki proposed.

Yu Mi nodded at Hua Shangxue's request, but she did not refuse, and followed her trace to a nearby prosperous town, just in time to see where the residents of the town spontaneously donated food to the victims.

Although it is just some rough rice bran steamed buns, it is also something that ordinary poor people eat, and the price is cheap, which is in line with the economic strength of the town's residents.

After seeing the actions of those small town residents, Hua Shangxue also suggested spending the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver according to their practice, so as to buy more things and be able to survive this difficult period for more people.

After all, it is too luxurious to buy things like rice and noodles for relief, and you don't care about being full.

Now the people who have been affected by the disaster and are waiting for relief are the poor, and the snow is born in a poor family, and naturally knows the hardships of a penny to stump a good man.

People are here not to starve, not for taste.

Although it is a good deed for many big businessmen to open porridge sheds for relief, in fact, it is true that a bowl of rice porridge is not enough, but the cost is about the same as two rice bran steamed buns, but it is full.

No matter how you look at it, the second option is more welcome.

Although eating too much rice bran steamed bun is not good for the body, after all, it is only something that only a few people will pay attention to, and even their lives are almost gone, who cares about these.

After listening to Hua Shangxue's suggestion, Yu Mi Ying also felt that it was reasonable, and immediately asked March to send a message to his subordinates to purchase food according to this opinion, and send it to the disaster site in batches, and after checking the effect, he would consider whether to consider writing to the imperial court to make one or two recommendations.

The encounter on the road was only a small episode, and the journey continued, as the flood began to recede, and horses were still the best means of transportation along the way, except for some large rivers.

Five days later, Hua Shangxue and his party had entered the boundary of Sande Mansion, and then spent two days in Song County, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Sixi Town, and a feeling called hometown timidity lingered in Hua Shangxue's heart.

I couldn't help but slow down the speed of the horses, my palms couldn't help but sweat, and my nervous heartbeat was much faster than usual.

Song County's boundaries along the way also saw a lot of refugees rushing to a temporary grass hut, as a temporary habitat, a place full of people, will build another place to accept the arrival, and even some places abandoned houses have been requisitioned by the government, after a little cleanup, it has become a shelter from the wind and rain, even if there are many abandoned houses in the places where some bad rumors are spread, no one has time to care about these, even if there is a piece of tile to cover the head, even if it is good, what can be paid attention to?

Outside Sixi Town, Hua Shangxue jumped off the horse, although he was very tired from the road, but standing at the gate of Sixi Town, looking at the familiar streets on both sides of the road, he didn't feel tired at all, but he was excited and couldn't control himself, and walked towards the direction of Jiang's noodle restaurant step by step. (To be continued......)
