Chapter 354: Bitter
Jiang Liang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhao Jingxuan's fuss, and turned his head to look at Zhang Qingting.
Zhang Qingting was really fed up with someone's concern, and nodded heavily when he heard the words, "Yes, proper movement is also good for future production, but if you hold it at home now, it will not be good." ”
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Zhao Jingxuan, his face full of disgust for him.
Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help coughing lightly to hide his embarrassment.
He knew that he couldn't convince Jiang Li, so he simply followed her wishes.
"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the field with the prince to check the situation of the locust plague, and you will go over with me for a walk. But you don't want to be rash, you know? ”
Zhao Jingxuan reminded again and again, asking Jiang Liang to take good care of himself, and only after getting her assurance was he a little relieved.
Next, the few people discussed their respective schedules for the next few days, and then they dispersed and went back to the house to rest.
"Ah Li, what do you think of that Lord Yang? Do you think Madame Yang may have been killed by him? ”
Zhao Jingxuan leaned on the couch, perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, his appearance looked a little tired at this time.
Seeing this, Jiang Liang stepped forward and sat beside him, reaching out to help him press his temples and relieve his fatigue.
"This kind of thing is unfounded, and I can't judge it at will, but I think Mrs. Yang must know some secrets of this Lord Yang, and it is not a strange thing to get into trouble because of this."
The phrase "husband and wife are one" is not a nice thing to say, and even if a husband is unwilling to tell his wife, it does not mean that his wife will be unaware.
It should be said that women's intuition is very keen, especially Mrs. Yang seems to be a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, and she should be very smart.
"Don't talk about that, you have a good rest."
Jiang Liang persuaded Zhao Jingxuan a few words, asking him to relax and rest first.
I don't know if it's because of her clever pressing technique, but after a while, Zhao Jingxuan really fell asleep.
She looked at the cyan in his eyes and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Lord Yang's reception banquet was not extravagant, and it could even be said to be very shabby, and when he saw this table of dishes, the corners of Jiang Li's mouth couldn't help twitching.
If they hadn't gone to the back kitchen for a field trip, most of them would have been confused by this illusion.
However, she found that there was actually a secret door on the floor of the back kitchen, and when it was opened, there was a cellar, and the food stored in it was very sufficient for several months, not to mention that it lasted for half a year.
And there are a lot of ingredients in the back kitchen, and it can be said that it is more than enough to make a table of reception.
However, she suddenly understood when she saw Prince Rui.
I think this Lord Yang is also to pretend in front of the prince.
Jiang Liang couldn't help but pout, and didn't say much, just ate silently.
During the banquet, everyone pushed their cups and changed their lamps, but they did not mention the locust plague in a single word, as if anyone would ruin the atmosphere if they mentioned it.
After a night of nothing, Jiang Liang woke up early the next morning and saw that Zhao Jingxuan had changed into a short fight, and the whole person looked like a farmer who was about to go to the field.
Although he had done this kind of dress when he was in Xinghua Village before, but when he looked at it at this moment, he somehow had a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world.
"Later, I'll change my clothes."
Jiang Liang saw that Zhao Jingxuan was planning to go on a field trip, and hurriedly got up.
She brought a lot of luggage, including a few very simple clothes, and after changing into them, she seemed to have changed back to the little village girl in Xinghua Village.
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"The first time I saw you, you were pretty much like that. I was groggy and didn't know if I would survive, but as soon as you appeared, I felt as if I had seen a fairy. ”
Zhao Jingxuan said, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hug Jiang Li, he was really almost desperate at that time, feeling the passage of life, he realized that he was very greedy for life and afraid of death.
Jiang Liang listened to Zhao Jingxuan's words, but she felt that his love words made her blush and her heart beat, and the whole person became uncomfortable.
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, we have something important to do today."
Zhao Jingxuan did not delay, nodded approvingly, the two of them washed up briefly, and after breakfast, they rushed out of the city with Prince Rui.
This is still after the banquet last night, Prince Rui personally decided, in addition to Jiang Li and his wife, Lord Yang is also dressed as a peasant, and even Prince Rui is wearing a black dress, looking very low-key.
However, compared to Jiang Li, the rest of them don't seem so down-to-earth.
When she arrived in the field, Jiang Liang saw for the first time a scene that shocked her, locusts flying all over the sky, even though the people desperately held nets and tried to catch more locusts and recover their losses, but with little success.
The fields were full of traces of locust bites, and some crops that were growing well were bitten off their rhizomes after being bitten by locusts, and they could no longer grow.
"It's horrible!"
Jiang Liang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, she knew the impact of all this on the people, no wonder some poor people couldn't hold it anymore and simply lived on the streets.
At this time, they had used the little silver they had saved to buy grain seeds, hoping that they would be able to harvest something after some hard work, but when the locusts crossed the border, not to mention that the money for buying seeds was wasted, there was no grain in the field, and the family's grain stock was gone.
These people have no way to live and will inevitably be displaced.
Although some rich people are in a better situation than these poor people, but without this season's harvest, their losses are not small, how can they want to reach out to help the poor.
Natural disasters are the most cruel and unsympathetic, and they will not be treated differently because of a person's identity.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She looked around, and happened to see someone grabbing the locust, and directly biting it to death as if venting her anger, and her mood became more and more bitter.
"People are ultimately insignificant in the face of natural disasters."
Zhao Jingxuan listened to her emotion, and gently reached out and touched her hair.
He also felt very restless when he looked at everything in front of him, but he didn't want to let his emotions affect Jiang Liang.
A few people walked around the field, and when they went back, Prince Rui's face was so gloomy that he was about to squeeze out the water.
On the way back, the group passed by the porridge shed outside the city, Zhao Jingxuan had already discussed with Lord Yang last night, and today he will open a porridge shed outside the city to give porridge to the victims.
Although it is just a mouthful of hot rice porridge, it can have a soothing effect on the victims at such times.
Prince Rui was also very supportive, and Lord Yang naturally did not shirk it, but readily agreed.
The officers and soldiers of the government were very fast, and they had already built the porridge shed early in the morning, and the porridge shed was already crowded with people at this time.
