The lively recruitment finally ended, but the ending was very strange and unexpected to everyone.

No one could have imagined that the son of the Zhao family, who had released the rumor early and would not participate in the recruitment, would suddenly rise to prominence and enter the re-examination with the first place in three subjects and the top three in one subject in the examination of the six arts.

No one thought that the son-in-law of the Wang family had long been determined to be only between Xie Yu and Zheng Yu, but in the end, he was hugged by the son of the Zhao family.

Jiangning, a prosperous and wealthy city, originally had a slow pace of life, and there were many gossips about the three aunts and six mothers-in-law.

For unrelated people, this is just a good talking point and gossip news, but for the four major prefectures, it is undoubtedly the result of an earthquake.

Xie Yun, who received the news, couldn't believe the news for a long time, and she had to let Zhao Shixuan pinch her three times before she dared to believe it.

For the Xie family, they are still very happy overall, after all, they have pulled the Wang family into the camp of Zhao and Xie, although they are a little unhappy that Zhao Hao came out of nowhere and robbed his cousin's daughter-in-law, it is irrelevant after all.

For the Zheng family, it is tantamount to bad news, the marriage of Wang and Zhao means that the Zheng family will independently resist the alliance of the Wang, Zhao and Xie families, and will be in an extremely unfavorable situation in the follow-up business.

And Zhao Hao, who won the championship in recruiting relatives, does not seem to have changed much in his life...... He didn't end up seeing his fiancée either.

In ancient times, men and women got married, and there were six rites, "six rites are prepared, which is called employment; If the six rites are not prepared, it is called running".

The so-called six rites refer to the lottery, asking for names, Naji, advocate, inviting relatives, and greeting relatives. The engagement is almost a levy, and this ceremony has nothing to do with him Zhao Hao at all, it is all handled by parents, matchmakers, housekeepers and others.

For this recruitment, Zhao Hao has always maintained a state of interest, perseverance, and ambition, but after really winning the championship and getting the favor of the Wang family's beauties, Zhao Hao felt a sense of confusion.

Is it true that he really likes Wang Xin, or is it for the Zhao Mansion to be invincible in the open and secret battles among the four major mansions, or because he is ignored and has the intention of fighting, or is it ...... Zhao Hao himself can't say clearly, and he can't tell the truth.

However, one thing is certain, he has no disgust in his heart for the woman who used to dress as a man, the woman who is beautiful and wise, and whose literary style is not weaker than that of men.

As for the white clothes after the ten-mile peach blossom forest, there is more admiration and admiration in my heart, and getting along with the Si people is very happy, very comfortable, and very warm, but whether there is something called affection breeding, Zhao Hao didn't understand.

He lived to be twenty-five years old in his previous life, but he was just a happy single dick, who never really loved, or was loved.

Therefore, he is still a happy gentleman, while enjoying the pleasure of traveling through the rich house with the system, he continues to accumulate merit in order to solve the erysipelas in the body, and repair the damage to the foundation of the body caused by the indulgence of the previous body.

……

Since the middle of June of the lunar calendar, due to continuous heavy rains, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have gradually flooded, and the disaster has been flooded.

And this year, compared with previous years, the disaster is more serious, according to the "Jiangsu Provincial Chronicle. The Northern Song Dynasty recorded: "In August 1118, the Jianghuai Jingzhejiang Zhulu flooded, drowning countless people, starving people in exile, and the imperial court sent officials to various places to help the victims. ”

At this time, the victims of the disaster also poured in from all over one after another, and the atmosphere in Jiangning City was slightly tense, not obvious, but if there were people with this kind of experience, they probably knew what was going to happen.

But Zhao Hao is not an indigenous, although he feels that there are more victims who come to sell themselves every day, and occasionally hear his parents talk about the disaster in Jiangnan Zhulu and the rise in prices caused by the disaster, but he doesn't think too much.

Therefore, he still maintains the good and wandering mode of the past, and has nothing to do every day except for doing good, either to go to the monk to play chess, or to find the Merlin monk to learn the piano. Occasionally, find the second uncle Wang Jue to go to Chunfeng Tower to drink a few cups.

The years are quiet, and the time is not old, which is probably Zhao Hao's mentality at that time.

On this day, Zhao Hao dressed neatly as usual, had breakfast, boarded the carriage, took Zhao Ling and a family slave, and drove straight to the east of the city, intending to go to Tianxi Temple to eat a few bowls of tofu flowers, and then ravage the old monk in chess.

Dangdang~

Knock knock~

Just after passing the city and running to the north gate of the city, a rush of bells and gongs came from the direction of the east of Jiangning City, and instantly spread throughout the city.

The handlebar was about to stop the carriage, and Zhao Ling and the others also changed their faces greatly, and the horses guarded Zhao Hao's carriage.

Zhao Hao opened the sedan curtain in confusion and looked towards the east gate with a puzzled face, only to hear a faint noise and noise, getting louder and louder.

The cacophony came and gradually spread throughout the street.

"The east gate is closed, don't go out of the city."

"My man is still outside the city, how is it okay?"

"The west gate of the land is also closed, and I still have to go out of the city to run errands......"

The voices passed one by one, gradually converging into some panicked sounds, and the originally sunny sky suddenly seemed to be overcast, and an ominous aura enveloped the entire Jiangning City.

Immediately afterwards, the news came, and the four gates of Jiangning City were all closed.

"So?" Zhao Hao's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Zhao Ling in confusion and asked.

Zhao Ling sighed helplessly: "There are too many victims in the floods of the roads in the south of the Yangtze River, if they pour into the city, there will inevitably be chaos, every year." However, this year's disaster seems to be more violent than last year......"

Zhao Hao's face changed slightly, he thought for a while, and then said in a loud voice: "Quick, follow me to the city to have a look." ”

Liang Lie and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this: "Childe, don't!" ”

Zhao Hao said angrily: "How dare you go against my order? ”

The slaves were helpless, so they had to look at Zhao Ling, and when they saw Zhao Ling nodding slightly, they were relieved.

……

In the east gate of Jiangning, Zhao Hao climbed to the top of the city with the consent of the generals who defended the city, surrounded by Zhao Yun and a group of slaves, and the generals who defended the city were not at ease, and sent some soldiers to follow him.

Zhao Hao walked quickly to the battlement in the middle of the East Gate Tower, slowly looked down, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The victims, the dense crowd of victims appeared in front of him, looking down from the city tower, a large area of black oppression, like the army horses that came to attack the city, it was terrifying.

If you listen carefully, the cries, shouts, and roars of the city are mixed, and it is extremely noisy, and some people are even holding stones and smashing the city gates.

Of course, this is useless, the east gate of Jiangning is a jack gate, covered with a thick copper skin, and there is an inner door inside, even if you use a siege vehicle, you can't rush in, let alone stones.

The victims of the disaster under the city were all in rags, some carrying burdens, some pushing carts, some gray-haired old women, and some children waiting to be fed.

From the bustling crowd, Zhao Hao suddenly felt an aura of despair, fear, hunger, and death, rushing towards him, making him almost suffocate.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he turned to Zhao Ling and the people behind him and shouted: "Quick, let all the bun shops, pastry shops, and baked cake shops in Jiangning City send all the edible things in their stores to the east gate, and all the expenses will be credited to my Zhao family's account, and you can go to the Zhao family to withdraw them another day!" ”

Even if all the steamed buns, steamed buns, baked cakes and other hungry things in Jiangning City are sent, at most only 200,000 yuan, which is only three or four hundred yuan, which is just a small amount of money for the Zhao family, Zhao Hao can be the master of this, and there is no need to ask Xie Yun.

When Zhao Hao shouted this, he was almost hoarse, and Liang Lie and other house slaves did not dare to slack off, and went downstairs one after another.

"Don't come nonsense!"

At this moment, a majestic snort came from the entrance of the staircase in the city.

When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and when he turned around, he saw a gray-haired official striding over, but it was Wang Hanzhi, the prefect of Jiangning.

"Gongzi is kind and benevolent, and has mercy on the victims, worthy of being a relative of the Great Song Dynasty, and the heavens are noble, but if Gongzi puts food on this, it will only cause turmoil and trampling on the victims, and hurt the innocent."
