Chapter 233: The Strange Village (Part I)
After leaving this sentence, Yuan Ruiming got into the carriage.
"Anping, where did you go, why didn't you see her follow."
Bai Jingyin looked around and asked in a low voice to Chengying.
"Qiqi Guifei Niangniang, the county lord of Anping was frightened and suffered from the wind chill yesterday, and he had a fever, so he can't go with me today."
"Then you can stay here and take care of her."
Bai Jingyin instructed Chengyingdao.
"Yes."
Chengying blessed his body and was about to go back, but was stopped by Ling Xiang.
I saw Ling Xiang stroked his beard and said calmly:
"The personal palace maid of the concubine Niangniang should naturally be kept to serve the lady and the emperor, although the palace is not as good as the palace, but there are still maids who are called. Moreover, the prime minister has also ordered the dog to stay in the yamen to protect the safety of the county lord, and the concubine can rest assured. ”
Listening to Ling Xiang say this,
Bai Jingyin immediately guessed the intention,
glanced at Ling Xiang strangely,
"The prime minister is really thoughtful, and also, with the hussar general staying here, what else do I have to worry about. It's just that the county lord of Anping is golden and noble, so you must be cautious. She glanced at Ling Yugui, who was standing on the side,
"This is natural."
Different from Ling Xiang, for this matter, Ling Yugui didn't seem to have any special expression,
Bai Jingyin saw all this behind his eyes, hooked the corners of his lips, lifted the curtain and got into the car.
The first is a pawn who is responsible for leading the way, Shao Jingyi and Zhao Yan follow on horseback,
Yuan Ruiming's car is in front, and Ling Xiang and Fu Cheng's car are behind,
In this way, we traveled far and wide towards Sungai Village.
"Anping is just infected with the wind cold, and you are not happy to be like this." Yuan Ruiming looked at Bai Jingyin for a long time, and finally spoke up and asked. "I don't know yet, but you like her."
"Then the emperor thinks too much, I'm just angry with the old fox outside, it turns out that he is still a thick-skinned person to this extent."
"Ling Xiang is so angry with you again."
"Anping is not as old as Ling Suxin, then Ling Yugui can be her father, and Ling Xiang will arrange for Ling Yugui to stay in the mansion, isn't the meaning obvious."
"Doesn't this mean that you even eliminated and beat the Ling family, and you had to think of this method as a last resort."
"That's what you say."
Bai Jingyin touched his chin, thought about it, and relaxed a little more.
"But she's also your cousin, so aren't you worried?"
"I don't think Ling Yugui has the courage to attack the county lord like this bear-hearted leopard, and I am also quite confident in myself, and I feel that Anping will not have a good impression of Ling Yugui."
Bai Jingyin laughed at her twice,
"The emperor is really very confident."
"On her self-confidence—" Yuan Ruiming glanced at her meaningfully, "I don't seem to be as good as someone." ”
There were words in these words, which made Bai Jingyin suddenly embarrassed and embarrassed, thinking of the words she accidentally said last night, and taking the proof that it was all her own brain and self-inflicted affection, she was so embarrassed that she could grab a hole in the sole of her toe with her toes.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, don't mention it to the emperor, it's not right for me this time, wait until I go back to the imperial capital
Isn't it okay to prepare a table of drunken flowers to make amends? ”
"Wouldn't that be too cheap for you?"
"Where is it cheap, it is the most expensive place in the whole imperial capital, okay?" Bai Jingyin pretended not to understand, lifted the curtain again, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Your Majesty, look, it should be Shuangxi Village in front, and it's quite fast."
When Yuan Ruiming heard this, he also looked outside.
I saw that under the clear sky, the traffic was still muddy, but it was much better than the previous potholes. Coming and going, there are pedestrian carts carrying wood and firewood, which should be the materials needed to rebuild the house.
"There's still smoke over there."
Bai Jingyin sniffed,
You can smell a sweet aroma of rice.
"Just stop here."
Yuan Ruiming commanded.
It was here that the group got out of the carriage, straightened their clothes, and walked towards Sungai Village. Along the way, there were children holding steamed buns and leading the little yellow dog towards the farmland, where the village adults were bending over to work.
Bai Jingyin said curiously:
"Wasn't it all washed away by the flood?"
Fu Cheng bowed and replied:
"Hui Niangniang......" After being glared at by Bai Jingyin, she hurriedly changed her words: "Mrs. Hui, this season's grain can't be saved, but you have to pull out the dead seedlings as soon as possible to prepare for the next season's sowing." ”
When it is very close to the village, you can see a banner hanging on the shed with the smoke of cooking and the fragrance of rice, and the word 'porridge' is written on it, which is the porridge shed set up by the imperial court in every place.
The villagers are in good order,
Waiting for the soup kitchen,
There were old women, women and children in the procession, as well as young and strong young people who carried farm tools and worked hard, and everyone could receive a bowl of white porridge and a coarse steamed bun.
There are happy smiles on their faces.
Bai Jingyin and Yuan Ruiming glanced at each other, with some strangeness in their eyes.
"Is this the hardest-hit village of Sungai Village?" Shao Jingyi also felt incredulous, "I originally thought it would be a dilapidated and desolate appearance, but now it seems to be ......"
All those present thought the same thing,
It seems a little too good here.
"Who are you?"
The silver-haired and silver-bearded man walked towards them with a cane and a hunched waist, squinting his eyes. "You're here to help us do the work, hurry up, there's still a lot of porridge left, eat more to make the effort."
"We don't need it, more kindness from the elderly."
"This is the village chief of this Shuangxi village."
Fu Cheng stepped forward and said,
Although the village chief didn't know anyone else, after seeing Fu Cheng, he still made a gesture:
"Lord Fucheng is here, the old man's eyes can't see clearly, he is slack, please forgive me."
Fu Cheng brought the village chief forward,
"These are all officials sent by the emperor, representing the emperor, come and see how your village is recovering, and the villagers' lives are still passable."
As soon as he heard the emperor, the village chief immediately bowed three times excitedly:
"It turned out to be the officials and gentlemen sent by the emperor, and the little old man is from afar, and he is not welcome."
"Don't tell the official master what the situation is in our village now."
"As you can see, as you can see. The passing year was unfavorable, there was a great disaster, the food was gone, and the people starved to death, and we all thought that we would not be able to endure it. I heard that it seems that the emperor and the mother came up with the attention, what to say to replace the relief, and also set up a porridge shed in the village, and let us have hot porridge to drink without money. The emperor's mother is wise, God favors her, and she can escape from death, which is really lucky, very lucky. The more the village chief spoke, the more excited he became, and he even raised his hand and wiped his tears.
Bai Jingyin noticed that the village chief looked weathered, sun, and rain, but unlike the vicissitudes of life on his face, there were no calluses on his hands.
