On the second day of Jingli, he learned about the Shandong earthquake, and Jin fainted when he heard the sound, and when Zhang Luan came back from the court, Jin had woken up, pulling Zhang Luan's clothes and crying, Zhang Luan pondered with a cold face, and said for a long time: "You relax, the earthquake area is not Jinan Prefecture, but Tai'an Prefecture." Zhen Zhen and He'er were fine, the old house of Zhangfu was built with special care, using dozens of cypress trees as pillars, and they couldn't be poured. ”

"Since the master knows that they are fine, why bother with a solemn face, I think I am ...... I thought ......" Jin wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and his face was finally a little red, Zhang Luan looked at his wife's delicate appearance with pear blossoms and rain, and suddenly said: "If there is a delicate concubine in the house, what should you do?"

These words frightened Jin's body trembling, grabbed Zhang Luan's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, Mount Tai just earthquaked, if you want to take a concubine, you have to change the time, it's not appropriate now, master!"

Zhang Luan sighed, and his tone was leisurely: "A few days ago, Qin Tianjian said that it was a comet once in a hundred years, which was the disaster of the East Palace. ”

Jin Shi was dumbfounded and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now supervising the army in the south, and the court is actually ...... Warat."

Zhang Luan actually smiled and said: "You are a woman and Taoist who understands the truth, but the saint does not understand? The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty do not understand? But this is just the new abacus of the Wan family and Wan Guifei, and Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone! Thinking of deposing the current crown prince, supporting the young Nine Emperor Princes to ascend the throne, and waiting for the saint to ...... , coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes?hehe...... , That's why I just thought that the court is unstable, the family house is restless, and wives and concubines are all fighting each other, and now the dynasty is controlled by the concubine, which is ridiculous!"

Jin grabbed Zhang Luan's hand and said nervously: "If Wan Guifei really succeeds, the status of the Wan family is in full swing, master, what should we do?"

Zhang Luan said with a smile: "It's just a few days of hard work, the saint has been shaken, and he also reprimanded Peng University Scholar and Business University Scholar in front of civil and military officials, both of them said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is enlightened and intelligent, brilliant and knowledgeable, and the East Palace is already secure, and the comet is born, which may not be the East Palace, maybe it refers to the west...... , The west side is the dormitory where the concubines live, and the two adults of Peng Shang mean that it is Wan Guifei, and the saint can naturally hear it, and reprimanded the two adults in court, allowing them to go home to recuperate, and they don't have to go to court for the time being. ”

"Master, we are in danger! The Holy Lord is so partial to the Wan family and to the Wan Guifei, once it is really achieved, our family will be destroyed!"

Zhang Luan clenched his wife's hand, stroked his wife's hanging filament and smiled: "Heaven's will is hard to disobey." The Holy Lord just moved his mind, God was angry, the earthquake in Tai'an Prefecture came neither early nor late, and now all the civil and military officials changed directions, shaking their bodies and saying that the East Palace is safe, if the Holy Lord wants to depose His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be against God, and if he says it harshly, he will be punished by God! The people of Qin Tianjian also shouted long live, and the Holy Lord's wavering mind also stopped. When I went down to the court, I looked at Lord Wan's face pale, and my heart was much happier. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really abolished, then the Wan family will really be above 10,000 people under one person, and when the time comes, don't talk about us, even a big man like Peng Shang, life will not be easy. ”

The Jin family nested into Zhang Luan's arms and said warmly: "The major events of the imperial court have their own masters." I haven't seen Crane and Zhen Zhen for a year, and I often dream about missing them. Now there is another earthquake in Shandong, if tens of thousands of families in the court are unlucky, let's take the children back? It's been so long, Wanrong has long forgotten about us. I heard that he has a new concubine today, and he is beautiful in his arms, why do we want to separate flesh and blood, master, just take the child back?"

Zhang Luan restrained his smile, pinched his wife's thin white hand and said coldly: "Wan Jia is angry, who dares to rush to touch the moldy head, and at this time, he can't take Zhen Zhen back." Now that we know that Zhen Zhen and Crane are fine, we can rest assured. In a few days, it will be the birthday of the crane, if you want to send it, you will pack it up and send it to the house. There are only two points, the first is that you can't go, and the second is that you are not allowed to write about the mess for the crane to see, and he will be worried about it. ”

Jin was reluctant, but Zhang Luan has become more and more serious and cold in recent years, she didn't dare to disobey the master anymore, so she said softly, "What the master said, I can save ...... of these."

............

The wind is surging in Beijing, and Shandong is crying all over the wilderness.

Zhang Erzhen didn't want to stay in the mansion and wait for Uncle Zhang's brief report every day, she took Mingyue to wear the clothes of a teenager, and drove a horse by the little girl in the mansion to go to Zhuye Village to have a look. The nurse sent the girl away worriedly, and immediately ordered the girls to close the door, the world has been in turmoil recently, and all she can do is take care of the house.

"Childe, what can we do when we go?" Uncle Zhang said that there are broken walls and broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and the slave maid thinks it is quite scary. ”

Zhang Erzhen's expression was serious, her hair was full of green silk neatly tied on the top of her hair, she wore a stone blue teenager's regular clothes, and said softly when she heard the words: "We can't do anything, but it's more comfortable than staying in the house, the house is too depressing, I'm not used to ......"

In the face of natural disasters, how fragile human power is, she has seen it in her previous life, but what can she do? The carriage ran slowly, only because the rocks and mud poured down on both sides of the road blocked the road, and the road was bumpy and abnormal, Zhang Erzhen lifted the curtain to see, fortunately, the situation in the city was not serious, the shops and merchants had already opened for business, and a few people walked on the road, which seemed to have recovered from the shadow of the earthquake. After the carriage left the gate of Licheng County, it was much smoother, and it took more than an hour to see the ragged villagers of the village from a distance. The loess cover is covered with black nails, or the old man is supported to sit on the stone to rest, or he rolls up his sleeves and continues to bury his head, or he digs people, or digs up the copper plate buried at the bottom of the cylinder. The woman's screams and weepings were accompanied by the children's screams. Zhuye Village is not near the mountains and rivers, and the situation is relatively good, only the village chief of the village brought some men to rescue, and Zhang Bo has already taken people to the next village. Seeing the blue oil cloth carriage of the tall horse stopped, and a young master wearing a stone blue cotton robe got out of the car, everyone only raised their eyes and then lowered their heads to work. The quiet and beautiful village is no longer what it looks like, Zhang Erzhen walked along the path and saw the big locust tree full of buds, and Li Dazheng was wiping tears under the tree.

Li Da recognized that this handsome young master was the rich little girl who took Grandma Hua away last year, wiped away his tears embarrassedly, turned around and continued to dig pots and pans in the ruins, Li's house has fallen, it should be that most of the houses in Zhuye Village have fallen, but because they are all made of light thatch, they can't kill people, only a few elderly people and Mama Hua's distant nephews have gone. Li Da sighed with emotion: "I lost the girl and took Grandma Hua away, otherwise, Grandma Hua would have to explain in this earthquake." ”

Zhang Erzhen helped pick up the hoe and burden outside, and asked: "Since there are no casualties in the uncle's house, why did you ...... just now" The man didn't flick his tears when he was in tears, but he didn't get to the sad place.

Li Da bowed and said: "The village chief said, we are not seriously affected here, and now the imperial court is close to Tai'an's side to rescue, and we can only rely on ourselves here." The surplus grain in the village has been pressed into the ruins, and you can pay as much as you can, and you can slow down a few days. I wondered if it was more serious in Tai'an, and I heard that several villages were buried. Girl, have you heard anything from the city?"

Zhang Erzhen pulled things outside, and said: "Tai'an's side is really serious, the officials have been transferred, I heard that it rained heavily last night, and those buried in the soil are afraid that they will all ......."

Li Da was even more sad, and said: "The girl doesn't know, my father-in-law's family is that piece, since my mother-in-law died, I haven't been to see them, this happened now...... , No, I have to go to Tai'an to see, if the old father-in-law is still alive, I will definitely take it over and take care of him. My mother-in-law hasn't enjoyed a day with me!"

Zhang Erzhen bowed her head and said nothing, Mingyue also rolled up her sleeves, and was pulling out a burlap bag, and after pulling it out with great effort, she opened it and said happily: "Childe, I'll pull out a bag of grain!"

Zhang Erzhen took a look at it and said with a smile: "Mingyue has a natural mouth and nose to smell food, which is really powerful." Uncle, if there is food in your house anywhere else, Mingyue will find it for you. Mingyue smiled, swept away the haze of the past few days, and replied: "What the son said is that when the slave goes to see it again, whoever has buried food can find it for him." ”

Li Da took the grain sack, looked at the wheat and corn kernels he had saved, and sighed: "That's all the grain now." ”

Zhang Erzhen looked at this man and showed a sincere smile, but there was a lot of helplessness and sadness in his smile, and he thought about it in his heart, and said: "Uncle don't be anxious, if you don't dislike it, follow us back to the city later, and you can go to Tai'an with the housekeeper in the house tomorrow." If your old father-in-law is still alive, just take it and enjoy it together. If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. ”

Li Da agreed without hesitation, he didn't have anything of value in his own house, and the only food had been found, so he had to go to other families in the village to help. Zhang Erzhen took Mingyue to the village again, and an old man staggered by with his little grandson, babbling: "It's a shame that some rich people from the city have bought you warm clothes, or we will starve and freeze again." Grandpa took you to the village chief's house to beg for food, our house was buried, and nothing could be dug up. ”

The little grandson was wearing a half-old and new navy blue coat, Zhang Erzhen recognized that it was the clothes that Zhang Heling wore when he was five or six years old, and watched the grandparents and grandchildren gradually move away, Mingyue sympathized: "Girl, they are so pitiful." ”

Zhang Erzhen said: "It's not pitiful to be alive, let's go to Tai'an to see, people are pitiful when they die." ”

"How can we go to Tai'an, I heard that many people have died, and if there is a plague, it will be terrible. ”

Zhang Erzhen continued to walk forward and saw the taller and taller locust tree, Da Zhuang also has no relatives, the big guys are busy, his body is simply rested in the yard, the weather is cold, only rough covered with a broken straw mat.

"Bury him, ask the village chief, where are the dead people in the village buried, the corpses have been left like this for a long time, not to mention rotting and stinking, it is easy to attract insects and ants to cause diseases. ”

Mingyue ran back and called the two little guys, and the little guys carried Da Zhuang away. Mingyue covered her nose in disgust, stood in front of Zhang Erzhen's right to stop the girl from going further, and said: "Childe, this person is so bad and greedy and vain, he cheated Mama Hua of her pension money and asked Mama Hua to support him, even if he died, no one collected his body, Childe stay away, let's go elsewhere." ”

Zhang Erzhen stared at the young leaves of the spring branches and said slowly: "This is probably fate." Some people were destined to die in this earthquake, including him and those who were still buried under the rubble. After going back, I finally told Mama Hua that this is probably her only relative in this world. ”

Mingyue looked at a pair of white and dirty feet exposed under the shabby straw mat, and couldn't help but shudder, Zhang Erzhen watched silently for a while before leaving, natural disasters, no one can avoid it, if you have grievances, don't gamble in the next life, gambling really doesn't end well.
