Chapter 109 The Earth Moves

Recently, Kangxi has been busy with a lot of anxiety, the war in the south, natural disasters in the north, everything needs food and silver, so the number of officials who have been raided has increased significantly, and some people see that the situation is not good, and they want to exempt themselves from responsibility by taking the initiative to hand over a part of the silver.

The heavy snow fell for three days before it stopped, covering the entire capital with a layer of snow quilt, Kangxi was worried that the Empress Dowager and their inconvenience in the Huangzhuang, as soon as the snow stopped, they sent people back to the palace, and now those who remain in the Huangzhuang are left Kangxi, Shu Wan, and of course, the concubines and countless palace maids who stayed at the will of the Empress Dowager.

On this day, Kangxi Weifu made a private visit to the place where the people lived after the disaster to inspect the situation, before he had already ordered people to set up soup kitchens in many places in the capital, he came out this time to see whether these officials were serious about performing their duties, whether there was corruption and oppression of the people.

As soon as he walked to a porridge shack, he asked about the smell of medicine, and Kangxi asked curiously: "There is a pharmacy nearby, why is there such a big smell of medicine." ”

Mingzhu, who guided him, said: "Back to the master, this is a medicinal porridge cooked by someone, I heard that after drinking it, it can strengthen the body and warm up the body." ”

"Oh?" Kangxi frowned, just a medicinal porridge, what effect can it have to strengthen the body, I'm afraid someone is swaggering.

Before it was time for the soup kitchen, a small porridge shack was already surrounded by water, even if Kangxi tried several times to squeeze in, but he was hovering around the periphery of the crowd.

People keep coming, and after a while, someone put up a sign in front of the porridge shed, and if you want to get the porridge, then everyone must line up, and one person can only receive one bowl of porridge, but even so, the people in line have no end in sight.

Seeing this, Kangxi had no choice but to ask Liang Jiugong to find him a clean bowl, and he also entered the queue.

Because Kangxi is dressed plainly today, although his appearance is extraordinary, it did not arouse the suspicion of the people around him, but when he saw his face, some enthusiastic people took the initiative to introduce him to the situation of this porridge shed.

It turned out that the person who was giving porridge in this porridge shed was a handsome man with a beautiful face, who claimed to have passed by here when he went out to study medicine, and saw that the people here were in distress, so he wanted to use his own strength to make some contributions to the people here.

The daily medicinal porridge is boiled by this prince and his servants together, and this medicinal porridge is really useful after taking it, and many people say that after drinking the medicinal porridge here, it is like eating an elixir.

The woman who was talking to Kangxi pointed to the little boy in her arms, "My dog suddenly had an upset stomach last night, and I remembered that this medicinal porridge came, no, I quickly brought him over today." ”

"If you're sick, why don't you go to the doctor?"

As soon as Kangxi asked this, he immediately regretted it, because he noticed that the woman and the child in his arms were wearing patched single clothes, and they must have been poor people.

Sure enough, the woman sighed, with a touch of sadness on her face, "Now there is a shortage of medicinal materials, not to mention that there is no doctor to sit in the consultation, even if there is a doctor, the price of a pair of medicines in the pharmacy is scary, although the Baiwei pharmacy is cheap, but it can't stand the crowd, every morning as soon as the door opens, the medicine is bought out, we orphans and widows really have no choice, so we want to come here to try our luck." ”

Kangxi nodded, yes, the ground movement and heavy snow that have occurred one after another these days have made everyone panic, and it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to raise the price of medicine, it seems that this aspect is also a problem.

But in this way, he was even more curious about the boy who could give medicine and soup for free.

Soon the woman in front of Kangxi got the porridge, and when it was Kangxi's turn, Kangxi walked into the porridge shed and handed the bowl to the son in front of him.

As soon as they met, Kangxi felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar.

Because the boy who gave porridge kept his head down, and the light in the porridge shed was not good, he looked at it for a while, but he didn't see it clearly, just when Kangxi suddenly remembered, the man suddenly handed over a bowl full of porridge, "Here you go, it's ready." ”

"Are you..."

Kangxi was just about to speak, but the person behind him said impatiently: "Hurry up, don't be sluggish, there are so many people behind." ”

Kangxi glanced coldly at the people behind him, stopped Liang Jiugong, who was about to step forward, took the bowl of porridge and walked aside.

The bowl of porridge was really a medicinal fragrance, Kangxi just wanted to taste it, Liang Jiugong on the side quickly lowered his voice and said: "Master, no, this thing is from an unknown source, you should be careful." ”

Even if Liang Jiugong's voice was small, he was still heard by the person who was drinking porridge next to him, and after drinking the porridge, the person wiped his mouth with his sleeve and walked up to Kangxi with a big grin, "If you don't want to drink, uncle, I'll drink!" ”

Kangxi saw that although the man was dressed in tatters, his voice was loud and did not look like he was sick, so he asked, "You are not sick, why did you come here to drink this bowl of porridge?" ”

The man's chest was straight, and his two eyes like copper bells looked at Kangxi deadly, "I'm not like you, Gongzi kindly took me here, if there is someone like you who makes trouble, I will kick you all out." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the broom that cleared the snow and drove Kangxi and them out, "Go, go, there is no room for you here, so you better go quickly." ”

"Hey, why are you so rude," Liang Jiugong hurriedly protected Kangxi, "Do you know who my master is, and he dares to be so presumptuous!" ”

"I don't care who he is, whoever wants to go wild here just can't!"

Seeing that the man was about to quarrel with Liang Jiugong, Mingzhu hurriedly went up to fight, "Both of you are angry, it's just a bowl of porridge." ”

"What about a bowl of porridge, if you really look down on this bowl of porridge, why do you want to come here?"

With the advantage of a loud voice, the man forced Mingzhu to be a head shorter.

There were more and more onlookers, and the son who had been giving porridge just now also squeezed in.

"Big bull, what's going on, why are you arguing again?"

The man who was loud like a cannon just now suddenly looked aggrieved like a little sheep, pointed at Kangxi and his party and said: "Childe, it is the three of them who dislike our porridge, and they also say that our porridge is something of unknown origin." ”

"This, that's it, it's okay, it's okay, what do they say it's their business, you don't have to worry so much, okay, go back quickly."

Kangxi kept staring at the son, who kept his head down, and although his voice sounded like a man, it was exceptionally gentle and soft.

Liang Jiugong didn't see anything abnormal about that son, and when he saw that the emperor was staring at the man, he wondered if the emperor was interested in that man.

That's absolutely impossible, so he coughed lightly twice and reminded on the side: "Master? ”

Kangxi came back to his senses, drank the bowl of porridge in his hand, and then said to Liang Jiugong and Mingzhu: "Let's go." ”

Seeing the three of them leaving, Da Niu was still a little indignant, "Childe, how can you let them leave like this, you should let them apologize." ”

"Oh, you big voice, go back to soup kitchen."

"What about you, Childe?"

"Me? I suddenly remembered that there was something else to do, and I would leave the rest to you today. ”

"Oh, good."

The big cow blinked incomprehensibly, how did the son become squirming today, he really looks like a girl!

-------------------------------------

Kangxi returned to Huangzhuang, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he rushed to the courtyard where Shu Wan was, and when he pushed the door, Shu Wan was holding Battle and Furgo watching people build snowmen and play.

The two little guys were wearing thick cotton jackets and vests, with a blessing hat on their heads, covering their heads and ears, and a dark green scarf around their necks.

"Your Majesty, come on, you see that snowman is so beautiful!"

Shu Wan hurriedly beckoned Kangxi over, Kangxi walked over suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "You have been here all afternoon?" ”

"That's right, Battle wants to see the snowman, and the concubine will let the concubine build a snowman to play, you see," Shu Wan pointed to the snowmen in front of her and said: "The tallest one is the emperor, and the one next to it is the concubine, and the remaining two small ones are Battle and one is Furguo." ”

Kangxi smiled: "Your mother and son will enjoy it." ”

Seeing that there was a lot of mud on Kangxi's shoes and trousers, Shu Wan asked curiously, "Where did the emperor go this afternoon?" Could it be... Outside the palace? ”

Shu Wan had a thief's expression, Kangxi was very speechless, and knocked her on the forehead, "I really want to know what you've been thinking about all day long, little brain?" ”

"Then where did the emperor go?"

Kangxi took her into his arms, played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said with a sigh: "I went to various places in the capital this afternoon to see the situation of the soup kitchen, and I was satisfied. ”

"I see."

Immediately after that, Kangxi looked at her and said with a smile: "It's strange to say that I actually met a person who looks very similar to you." ”

Shu Wan's heart suddenly tightened, and she still said with a smile: "Who can make the emperor unforgettable?" Is it a beauty? ”

Kangxi thought for a while and nodded seriously, "It's also a beauty, but he's a man." ”

"This man can make the emperor remember you, he must be very good-looking," Shu Wan glanced at Kangxi uneasily, looked around, and whispered to Kangxi: "Could it be that the emperor likes him?" ”

Kangxi was stunned after hearing this, no wonder Liang Jiugong and Mingzhu secretly looked at him with that kind of uneasy and slightly irritating eyes on the way back.

I couldn't help but stroke my forehead and sigh, and then explained: "That son is a great and good person, I just want to make friends with him." ”

"Then the concubine will rest assured."

Shu Wan patted her heart, but as soon as she remembered Kangxi's stunned appearance just now, she couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"You, what have you been thinking about all day, have you read too much of those words?" Kangxi coughed lightly twice, feeling that he had indeed lost some temper just now, so he began to change the topic.

Because Kangxi would confiscate her words again, Shu Wan hurriedly explained: "The emperor misunderstood, just now it was because the emperor's expression was too reverie, so the concubine couldn't help but tease the emperor." ”

"Thought-provoking? What was my expression just now? ”

Kangxi hurriedly touched his face and tried to recall his expression.

Shu Wan thought about it very seriously, and said sincerely: "It's the kind of expression that is a little admired and admired, and there is a bit of yearning in it." ”

"Really?"

Kangxi was shocked, could he really have that kind of feeling for a man who only had a one-sided relationship unconsciously?

At this time, Shu Wan suddenly leaned on his ear and said word by word: "Of course it's - fake!" ”

Seeing that Kangxi was stunned again, Shu Wan laughed very disregarding her image, "Your Majesty, do you really believe it?" ”

Battle and Furgo, who didn't know anything on the side, also laughed, Shu Wan hugged the two little guys and said with a smile: "Battle, Furgo, you can't learn from you Ama in the future, otherwise it will be easy to be deceived." ”

Kangxi grinded his back molars, endured it for a while, but still laughed out loud, waved his hand to let the two elder brothers hug him down, touched Shu Wan's waist with his big hand, and looked at her deeply, "Okay, you little liar, I want to see how many tricks you can play!" ”
