Volume 1 Dongchang Yan (Sweet Pet) Chapter 62 Jiang'an Disaster Relief
Shallow Song –
What an elegant name!
Gu Yunxi heard this boy read it for the first time, and her voice was pure and pleasant, free of impurities, with the tenderness of the gurgling water, her heart was like a messy lake in an instant, and the ripples moved slightly.
Lu Qiange——
Just once, the name took firm root in her heart.
Silently, Lu Qiange took out the hand-cut wooden hairpin from his arms, and his purple eyes rolled with lingering affection.
"I've been cutting this hairpin for a few days, and I'm giving it to you now."
Gu Yunxi was at a loss, and only then did he remember that he had nothing to do in the past few days, so he sat on the floor of the back room and cut branches, it turned out that he ...... It turned out that I was going to make this hairpin.
Very delicate long hairpin, the hairpin head is a blooming magnolia, that is, the one on the screen in the inner room.
was stunned for a moment, and the hairpin ran through the round bun on the top of her head.
"No, I can't!"
She reached for it, but he grabbed it in the air.
"You...... Don't ...... that."
Gu Yunxi's face was red, and his little hand struggled in his palm, but he couldn't escape.
"Yunxi, listen to me," Lu Qiange's handsome and elegant face suddenly appeared with a trace of melancholy, which was a strong reluctance before parting:
"I don't mean anything else, I'm afraid to get along for a while...... You'll forget about it when you leave......"
"Y-What are you talking about?"
Gu Yunxi was panicked and shy, his eyes tossed and turned several times, and he was confused.
"Yunxi, I like you!"
Lu Qiange looked directly at her shocked little face and solemnly affirmed.
After looking stunned, she raised her hand in a panic and pulled out the wooden hairpin on her head, panicked and aggrieved:
"In that case, I can't even ask for your things, take them!"
Lu Qiange suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, with a bitter expression:
"If you don't accept it, I'll take you away now, and you don't want to see him again in this life!"
"Huh? This ......"
She immediately ran out of ideas, and the embarrassed little expression on her face definitely fell into Lu Qiange's purple eyes, and at the same time it was also imprinted on his heart.
There was an urge to trap her in my arms.
He approached, and she backed away.
After a soft sigh, he looked at her deeply, and suddenly said:
"Yunxi, I really hope there is still a chance, and then I will see you wear women's clothes again!"
“!”
Gu Yunxi was surprised.
He, has he seen me in women's clothes?
In retrospect, I grew up in Gongyuan since I was a child, wearing women's clothes but not going out much, and the possibility of meeting Lu Qiange is almost non-existent.
Entering the East Factory with the Governor, he spent most of his time dressed up in Fanwei.
Gu Yunxi's thoughts spun quickly.
Recently, the only time I wore women's clothes was when I faced Minglan of the West Factory in Qingfeng Temple!
Don't......
There was a sudden flash of flint in her mind, and she seemed to have made some major discovery—
Suddenly came back to his senses, and the person in front of him was long gone.
Gu Yunxi immediately mentioned it in his heart, and hurriedly chased into the inner room, his vision was empty, and the overseer's robe was lying on the ground.
Biting his lower lip fiercely, Gu Yunxi frowned and thought repeatedly.
The mysterious person who inscribed and framed the overseer in Qingfeng Temple is Lu Qiange?
Of course, it is still a bit arbitrary to doubt him on the basis of a single sentence. But his words clearly refer to something......
——
Just after noon, Gu Yunxi's carriage took the ice flower and set foot on the way to Jiang'an. Accompanying him was Xiao Xiaoshen, as well as Yuan Qian, the head of the East Factory's top ten, and the fifty capable guards under his team.
Just after the New Year, there are few affairs in the East Factory, if it were not for the current white disaster in other provinces, it would have been a time for rest and health in the capital.
The reason why Dongchang sent a team was because Qianhu Cheng Wanli received news that the disaster relief grain team sent by the imperial court was blocked by heavy snow on the way, and I am afraid that it will take some time to reach Jiang'an.
At the same time, Gu Yunyao, who was in full grace, proposed to the Son of Heaven that several concubines in the harem donate money to help the people in the disaster area, and take the lead in funding, which attracted the dragon's heart.
Under the leadership of the harem, the court women also rushed to donate money and materials, and raised a large amount of materials within a few days.
Cheng Wanli sent Yuan Qian, the head of the ten blocks, to escort the donation to meet with the grain carts of the imperial court and rush to Jiang'an together.
This is a good opportunity, Yuan Qian immediately released the news to Xiao Xiaoshen, and as soon as the two of them combined, they didn't inform the Qianhu adults, and secretly brought Gu Yunxi and Qing'er.
The snow was fluttering on the road, and the two girls were sitting in the carriage disguised as men, guarding the stove by their side, and it was not very cold.
After a journey, Gu Yunxi lifted the curtain and said to Xiao Xiaoshen and Yuan Qian on the horse:
"Brother Xiao Shen, Yuan blocked your head, are you cold? Whoever gets into the carriage and warms up! ”
Xiao Xiaoshen shook his fur cloak on the horse, shook off the snow on his body, turned his head and said to the inside of the carriage:
"No need! Add a whip and you'll be in front of Pinggang Town, where I know there's an inn. We'll stay tonight and continue our journey tomorrow. ”
……
After Leng Qingtang and his entourage left the capital, they took the road to the south, and went straight to Jiang'an day and night.
All the way is a world covered in silver, with the ice hanging upside down on the roof corridor, the heavy snow piled up in the mountains and forests, and the wind is cold and biting, like a cold and cold glass world.
On the afternoon of the seventh day, on the second day after Gu Yunxi went on the road, Leng Qingtang's convoy had arrived in Jiang'an, and the towering city tower of Fengyuan County could be seen not far away.
Along the way, the disaster was heavy, and the snow was heavy, crushing people's houses, swallowing up grain fields, and ruined walls and withered crops could be seen everywhere.
Many of the victims had nowhere to stay, and froze to death or starved to death on the streets. The carcasses of the livestock were mutilated and divided among the starving victims, revealing the skeleton of the forest under the blue sky and white sun.
Leng Qingtang sat in the car, opened the warm curtain and looked out.
On the road, someone was lying on the ground and picking up the snow to satisfy his hunger, and he was really hungry when he thought about it. Before I swallowed a few mouthfuls, the empty abdominal cavity could no longer withstand the cold stimulation. The man coughed violently, spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and fell headlong into the snow.
By the time the guards rushed to check, the person had already lost his breath.
Witnessing this human tragedy and devastation everywhere, Leng Qingtang can only be heartbroken!
When the Dongchang vehicle arrived outside Fengyuan City, it was found that the city gate was closed, and a large number of victims were congested at the entrance of the city gate.
I sent someone to inquire and found out that since the flood of the White Plague, the Taishou of Fengyuan mobilized the rich squires in the city, raised some grain, and set up porridge shacks on several block roads in the city to put porridge and grain.
Disaster victims from other counties learned that Fengyuan had food, and they poured into Fengyuan County to receive porridge. A few days ago, Fengyuan's grain reserves were also insufficient. Unable to fill their stomachs, the victims began to become agitated, and incidents of robbery and injury were common.
Later, Jiang'an's garrison entered Fengyuan County to maintain order, and the leader Liu Duwei ordered Taishou to close the city gate and prevent the victims of the other five counties from pouring into the city again, so that the victims who were congested outside the city gathered more and more in the past few days, and they tried to smash the city gate several times, and the riots continued one after another.
Guo Taishou of Fengyuan County has entered the age of not being confused, and his body is slightly fat. After learning that the convoy of the East Factory was blocked outside the city, he was shocked that his legs were weak, and he hurriedly led his subordinates to run out, nodded and walked the East Factory and his party into the city, and welcomed them into the Taishou Mansion.
There is a world of difference between here and the chaotic world outside, a secluded place, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the elegant silence.
Leng Qingtang remained silent and followed Mrs. Guo into the bedroom.
During the repair, he got together with the three heads of the block and secretly deployed.
Leng Qingtang sent a big blocker, Ai Qing, to quietly investigate the situation in the Taishou Mansion, and he couldn't let go of every location.
In the evening, Mrs. Guo prepared a banquet and personally came to invite Leng Qingtang.
When he arrived at the dining room, Leng Qingtang saw an officer sitting on the side of the table, looking like he was in his thirties, with a face full of meat, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his armor had not been removed.
This person is the leader of Jiang'an's garrison, Liu Biao, the commander of the army.
Squinted slightly, and saw Leng Qingtang striding in under the support of the three major blocks, Inspector Liu couldn't see any expression on his face, and gave him a perfunctory hand, and did not get up and leave his seat.
The position of the commander of Dongchang is the second grade, and the position of the lieutenant is only the third grade, and it is indeed unreasonable for Liu Biao to be so neglectful.
The big block snorted angrily, and was about to step forward to theorize, when he saw the overseer silently cast a look, and immediately became reluctant.
Guo Taishou greeted Leng Qingtang to the throne with a flattering attitude.
Leng Qingtang glanced at the table, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, meat and vegetarian dishes were placed on the table, and there were two varieties of soup.
Guo Taishou high-fived the air at this time, and a team of dancers came in with colorful clothes and danced to the beat of the music.
Leng Qingtang stabilized the fire in his heart, and looked at Guo Taishou with an expressionless face:
"Does Taishoufu Suri eat like this?"
"Forehead ......" Guo Taishou was embarrassed, and his expression was ugly.
"Lord Leng came out of the palace anyway, he should have seen a bigger scene, just this little bit of food and singing and dancing, what is it!"
Hearing Leng Qingtang's dissatisfaction, Liu Du's facial features on the side moved, and he said uninhibitedly:
"These things, both horizontally and vertically, are for people to enjoy, let's eat them to reward Taishou's face!"
After saying it hard, he picked up his chopsticks and pointed directly at the dancing girl who was dancing happily opposite, and smiled evilly:
"Just like them, it is their blessing to serve us with their bodies!"
Lu Rong, the head of the second block, sat on the chair, his face was already unkind, and he listened to the disrespectful words of this captain, but the overseer's face was pale, so he had no choice but to suppress his anger, and a pair of chopsticks kept slamming the rice in the bowl into his mouth.
The refugees outside the city suffered from the white plague, so hungry that they couldn't even drink porridge, this Fengyuan County's Taishou Mansion actually delicacies of the mountains and seas, singing and dancing Shengping, Dongchang Qincha didn't know how to converge here? !
This is the local official of Dayi, who leads the imperial court, Bai Disaster is currently ignoring the frozen bones on the road, and actually has the face and mood to enjoy the current situation behind closed doors-
The people in Dongchang are all holding back a puff of fire in their stomachs, how can this dinner be used?
Guo Taishou was like sitting on pins and needles, even if he didn't look up, he could feel the angry eyes of the people in Dongchang.
Counting nine cold days, icy and snowy, Guo Taishou was so frightened that he was sweating all over his body, and he wiped his forehead frequently with a green face.
Governor Liu is very happy at the moment, pouring himself wine, eating with a mouth full of oil, and a pair of lewd ~ evil triangular eyes closely follow the dancing girl who leads the dance, drifting back and forth, left and right.
After a little dinner, Leng Qingtang got up and walked out of the dining room, without leaving a word from beginning to end, and the three stoppers also put dishes and chopsticks, following behind the overseer.
Guo Taishou sat upright at the table, his body trembling and frightened.
Seeing that all the people in Dongchang had left, Inspector Liu became even more presumptuous, and directly rushed out of the table and dragged the dancer who led the dance into his arms, and said to Guo Taishou next to him with a proud expression:
"Ignore him! How can a eunuch enjoy such a glamorous blessing? ”
After speaking, he stretched out his head to the dancing girl in his arms, and kissed her pink face directly with his oily thick lips.
