Chapter 404: Gossip
Su Zhenzhen slowly put down the teacup and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, although I haven't read many books, I have heard a sentence, 'seek his position in his position', Caomin is just a businessman, although he understands some business principles, but he has not participated in political affairs. ”
Then Su Zhenzhen smiled, "It's like the emperor knows the tea ceremony and can taste the quality of tea, but I only think it's a cup of tea to quench your thirst." ”
Su Zhenzhen stood up and bowed to the emperor, "Therefore, there is a specialization in the art industry, Su Zhenzhen is just a grass people, but also a woman's family, I really don't understand the twists and turns of this officialdom, and I ask the emperor to atone for his sins." ”
The emperor saw that Su Zhenzhen was so modest and abided by etiquette, and smiled after she was flattened, "Su Zhenzhen, you are really a clever person, and you will definitely be rewarded when you return to the palace." ”
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Su Zhenzhen sighed in her heart, and still bowed to the emperor calmly on her face, "Thank you for the emperor's promotion." ”
At this time, the county lord came out of the back wing, and the imperial doctor told the emperor that the monarch was fine, but his hand was rubbed by the whip on the skin, and he had been poisoned and medicated, and he could be cured in a few days.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the county lord distressedly, and repeatedly checked the place where the county lord was bandaging, and the county lord was amused by Su Zhenzhen's nervous behavior.
"Su Zhenzhen, what are you doing here, I'm not a three-year-old child, this is just a little bit of skin, what's the fuss, it's okay, don't worry." The county lord said and waved his fist.
"I'm not afraid even if I come to the three county guards, I'm very good!"
As soon as the county lord finished speaking, the imperial doctor slowly interjected: "The county lord must remember not to touch cold water in the past few days, and do not exercise vigorously, as the wound will become inflamed." ”
The county lord's fist, which was still waving in the air, was suddenly lowered, and his head was drooping, like a child who had made a mistake, "Got it, Imperial Doctor." ”
Looking at the county lord's childish behavior, Su Zhenzhen and the emperor both laughed out loud.
"Okay, Changping, you can rest well these days, your body is the most important, you have to listen to the words of the imperial doctor, do you know?" The emperor shook his head amusedly as he spoke, and then turned to Su Zhenzhen, "I'm still bothering you to look at Dian Changping these days." ”
"Of course, Changping regards me as her friend, I will naturally pay attention to it, please rest assured." Su Zhenzhen hurriedly responded.
"In that case, I will go back to the inn to rest, and if anything happens, send a guard to inform me immediately." The emperor also had a tired look in his eyes, and there was some black green under his eyes.
Su Zhenzhen and the county lord got up and prepared to send the emperor out of the palace.
The emperor glanced at Su Zhenzhen, although this girl is smart, she is still a person who understands the rules, and she knows that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, so she said that she didn't understand.
Will she not understand? How many things has she experienced from before to now, and how many things have she solved on her own?
The emperor knew this well, but he was still quite satisfied with Su Zhenzhen's attitude of not leaking.
After all, they still understand the rules.
After a few more words, the Emperor left. Su Zhenzhen and the county lord are not good at discussing political affairs, and staying by his side only delays their time. It's better to let them do what they want.
Seeing the emperor leaving, Su Zhenzhen and the county lord saluted respectfully. Then the county lord couldn't wait to ask Su Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, let's go shopping, shall we?" ”
Su Zhenzhen chuckled and said, "Why did you think about going shopping?" ”
"It's hard to come out, how boring is it just to check those corrupt officials?" The county lord pouted and said coquettishly to Su Zhenzhen, "Okay, Zhenzhen, you will accompany me to go shopping......
Su Zhenzhen knew that she would definitely not be able to resist the county lord's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she said, "Okay, let's go shopping together, go together." ”
The county lord smiled with satisfaction, took Su Zhenzhen's hand and walked outside.
The two of them walked gracefully on the street, occasionally tilting their heads to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the street and looking at the street vendors.
"It looks like it's a simple place for people to live." Su Zhenzhen said with emotion. Although there is a member who oppresses these people, they do not become bad people.
It's a rarity.
The county lord didn't speak, looking expressionless, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
Su Zhenzhen felt strange, but she didn't ask out loud in a hurry, but said with emotion: "These people don't seem to be poor, it seems that although they are oppressed by that outsider, they are not hungry for their stomachs......"
Before Su Zhenzhen's words were finished, the county lord suddenly interrupted: "Zhenzhen, I want to go to a place. ”
"Huh?" Su Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this, and before she could react, she saw the county lord running to ask the roadside vendor what she was, and then took her hand and walked, her steps were a little hurried.
"Where are we going?" Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask, the county lord's silent appearance made her feel inexplicably flustered.
"I want to see what the poorest places are like here." The county lord said softly, the expression on his face was faint, but his eyes were extremely serious.
The poorest place?
Su Zhenzhen suddenly understood the purpose of the county lord.
No matter how simple the folk customs here are and how rich the people are, they only see them on the streets, but they haven't seen the really difficult places and difficult people.
Only when they see the place that can be called the "most" can they evaluate whether the people here are doing well.
The slum was a little farther away, and Su Zhenzhen and the county lord walked a whole stick of incense to get there.
Before they could take a breath, they saw a burst of dust in front of them, choking them and coughing, and tears were about to cough out.
After they stopped coughing, they raised their eyes to look at the slum again, and only felt that their hearts instantly hurt as if they had been pinched.
As far as they could see, there was yellow sand everywhere, there was no good soil, and there were not many plants, it looked desolate, where was it like a place for people to live?
A few of the children heard the movement and ran out to see them curiously. At a young age, his face is yellow and thin, and he looks like he is hungry.
Su Zhenzhen looked at them and was really distressed. She is also a mother, where can she see so many children suffering?
"You see, not all people can live so well." The county lord muttered, looking compassionate, and he felt very sorry for those children.
No, it's not just the children, it's all the people in this slum, it's distressing.
Others can do their own business and support themselves, and others can live well, at least three meals a day. But what about them? They should also want to have a good life, and they are willing to live a life of self-help and abundant food and clothing, but they may not have the opportunity......
Not everyone can be so lucky.
Su Zhenzhen's nose was sour, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably. She glanced at the county lord, and saw that he was watching the situation in the slum intently, so she did not make a sound.
Su Zhenzhen vaguely guessed what the county lord was going to do next. That's why she didn't ask much.
The county lord looked at it for a while, then turned his head to Su Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, you can accompany me to another place." Her voice was astringent, as if it had been suppressed for a long time.
Su Zhenzhen smiled lightly and said softly, "Okay." She didn't ask where she was going, partly because she could guess it, but because there was no need to ask the question.
She just needs to follow the county lord and help by her side, and that's it.
It doesn't take many words, just a small action.
The so-called "silence is better than sound", this is the truth.
Seeing that Su Zhenzhen agreed, the county lord didn't say anything more, took her hand again, asked a passerby, and then walked to the nearest rice shop.
After walking a few steps to the destination, the county lord looked up at the plaque and muttered, "This rice shop is so close to the slum......
Su Zhenzhen knew what the county lord meant by this emotion, so she said softly: "Everyone wants to live well." "How can there be so much kindness in this world?
What's more, helping others is a feeling, but not an obligation.
The county lord pursed her lips and said nothing, she understood the reason, but she would inevitably feel uncomfortable. She exhaled lightly, stepped into the shop, and said to the owner of the rice shop, "Boss, I want enough rice to feed the people in the slums." ”
When the rice shop owner heard this, the smile on his face froze a little. He looked at the county lord and Su Zhenzhen, and saw that these two were dressed luxuriously, and they didn't look like ordinary people, so he smiled and said, "Okay, it's just that Miss, you want a little too much rice, we have to work hard, you wait a while." ”
After saying that, the owner of the rice shop turned around and beckoned a few guys and told them to move the rice.
The county lord looked at it without saying a word, took out a few silver tickets, and asked the boss lightly: "Is this money enough?" ”
The owner of the rice shop looked at it, his eyes lit up, he carefully took it and counted it, and said with a smile: "Enough, enough!" "More than enough, more than that.
The county lord said to Su Zhenzhen, "You watch here, I'll go buy some steamed buns." Without waiting for Su Zhenzhen to react, she turned and left.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the back of the county lord and felt a little stunned in her heart. It seems that the scene in the slum has touched the county lord a lot.
When the rice and grain were all available and the buns were bought, the county lord borrowed a few men from the rice shop owner, moved the rice and grain to the slums, and sent them to the poor people from house to house, and gave each child a bun.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the little smile that the county lord finally revealed, and then looked at the happy faces of those poor people, and smiled with satisfaction.
There is not much kindness in this world, but if they have some good thoughts in their hearts, it is enough.
After the children received the food from the county lord and Su Zhenzhen, they thanked them again and again, and a child covered in mud and with tattered clothes even kowtowed to the county lord and Su Zhenzhen.
"Hurry up, child, there is gold under the man's knees, don't kneel down casually, do you know?" The county lord touched the little boy's head and wiped the mud off the child's face with a handkerchief.
"Thank you, sisters, many people in our poor area starve to death every year, thank you great benefactor!" The child held the steamed bun and nibbled on the two of them, and tears flowed into his mouth.
When the county lord saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.
Su Zhenzhen saw that the corners of the county lord's eyes were slightly red, and she knew that the county lord was hurt by the scene, and patted the county lord's back.
"Okay, county lord, don't be sad, it's easier to hurt your body when you're sad, although we can't keep them rich and prosperous, it's still okay to do our best."
The county lord looked at Su Zhenzhen in confusion, "What else can we do for these poor people?" ”
Su Zhenzhen smiled slightly, "County Lord, there is a branch I opened here, and I will instruct the clerk to distribute porridge and grain every half month to ensure that people in these poor areas will not starve to death on the streets." ”
The county lord became excited when he heard this, and the sadness just now was swept away, "Really? On behalf of the people of this place, I thank you! As she spoke, she took Su Zhenzhen's hand.
"Although I am the lord of a country, I was born to enjoy glory and wealth, I never thought that these people would suffer these hardships, and when I return to the imperial city, I will let the emperor punish these corrupt officials!"
