Chapter 165: Zhen's Visit
Although the handwriting on the letter was not written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it was only the seal of the last payment, which was undoubtedly the private seal of the King of Chu.
If it is really as the letter says, this so-called cold disaster and famine was planned by the king of Chu, and the officials who came to investigate the disaster before played a role.
Don't dare to think about it, Sheng Mingyi walked back and forth in the room for a while, stopped, took out a pen and paper from the cage, spread it on the table, pondered for a moment to organize the language, and began to put pen to paper, if what was said in the letter was true, His Royal Highness the King of Chu must have started planning a long time ago, such a big matter, it is impossible not to leave any clues, whether this matter is true or not, it is necessary to notify the people at home first, so that they must pay more attention.
After this letter was written, the night was also deep, Sheng Mingyi pushed open the window, screamed at the night sky, and after a while, two black doves landed by his window, tied the written letter to their legs, the black dove flapped its wings twice, and disappeared into the night sky.
Early the next morning.
Sheng Mingzhu was not allowed to go out by Sheng Mingyi's repeated orders, so she could only be bored and nest in the yard to bask in the sun.
His eyes were squinted, Sheng Mingzhu put his hands in his sleeves, and the whole person was in a thick cotton coat, lazy like a cat.
Today's weather is good, the two of them simply took out the bedding on Sheng Mingzhu's bed and dried it again, the courtyard is large, it is more than enough to hang a few quilts, Liuli took the beat and the quilt was patted, and the cotton in the bedding was soft, saving the sun.
Sheng Mingzhu squinted, as if annoyed by the noise, glanced at their side, and after a while, his eyes glanced uncontrollably at the side where Mu Changqing lived.
I didn't see them when I woke up in the morning, and now that the sun is so high, why can't I see anyone coming out.
"Liuli, did Mu Gongzi have breakfast in the morning?"
Sheng Mingzhu was suspicious of the people in the county government, and things like food would naturally not be left in the hands of others, and now they were basically prepared by the two of them, in addition to their own people in the courtyard, they would also help Mu Changqing and the two of them prepare a copy.
"I went and asked in the morning, there was no one in the room, I should have gone out." Liuli Road.
"I went out, why didn't I hear any movement." Sheng Mingzhu muttered, her expression was a little unhappy, she slept late last night, tossed and turned until she was close to her son, and she fell asleep in the morning, not to mention Mu Changqing, when Sheng Mingyi went out, she didn't know.
"I don't know what's going on out there?" Thinking of this, Sheng Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you want me to go outside and have a look?" Jade stopped what she was doing and glanced at her.
"You! Or don't. ”
"If those people outside continue like this, sooner or later there will be a big mess, just now I went out and heard that some people are starving to death, and now when they go out, they can't take anything in their hands at all, some people are already hungry and crazy, and they will rob people when they see them, it's terrible."
"Who said no, I think it's better not to go out, the second son is right, he knew that it was so messy here, why wouldn't he agree to Miss come with him in the first place."
Liuli nodded, not to mention the bumps on the road, and I had to worry all day long when I came here. "Master Hou and Mrs. Hou can't tell why they're worried now!"
"When did you two talk so much, give me more words, be careful that I clean you up."
Liuli and Jade paused for a moment, and then smiled, "Miss can clean up us, but after we go back, we must remember to say more good things for us in front of Mrs. Hou, and the two of us can't help but shudder when we think of going back now." ”
"If you dare to give me another word, and when I go back to see my father, I guess I'll be dumb." Sheng Mingzhu said with a bright threat.
"Miss, this can't be! If you don't protect us, who else do we count on! ”
“……”
Sheng Mingzhu talked to them for a while, some couldn't sit still, stood up, walked around the courtyard twice, and when he passed by Mu Changqing's residence, he specially pulled the window and looked inside, and saw that there was indeed no one inside, so he sat back bored.
Liuli saw that she was really bored, and the attendants in the county government rummaged through the cabinets for her and found a few Zhiwei novels, the sun in the courtyard was just right, if there were not so many homeless people outside, and there was no eye in the dark that the eyes could not see, when looking at the scene in front of her, who would not say that the years were quiet.
Sheng Mingzhu turned a few pages, but he didn't see any meaning in the book, but looked himself sleepy.
In a blur, I suddenly heard someone calling in my ear: "Miss, Miss wake up, why are you asleep, someone is coming outside." ”
Sheng Mingzhu opened his eyes, the book in his hand fell to the ground with a click, and he squinted his eyes for a while before saying, "Who is here?" ”
"It's Lord Li's wife."
"Who?" Sheng Mingzhu's drowsy head suddenly sobered up when he heard this, how could it be so coincidental?
"You are so bold, we are just outsiders who are temporarily staying here, why did you stop the righteous master outside, and why don't you invite someone in."
Sheng Mingzhu's expression was light and light, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart, it wasn't the first day they had been here, they hadn't come before, why did they suddenly come now?
Are you here to find out what they are doing?
Zhen, the wife of Lord Li, the daughter of the Zhen family of a large family in Longan County, although she is in the poor countryside of Longan County, she has been pampered since she was a child, and then married the county government.
The attendants and maids who followed behind him looked thoughtful, their clothes were neat, and they didn't see the dirty and dilapidated people outside the city.
Liuli led them in front, Sheng Mingzhu handed the notebook in his hand to Jade and put it away, lazily comforted his body, but did not stand up.
"I heard the old man say before that the county lord came all the way to our Longan County, and he has not been able to come over to visit, and I ask the county lord not to blame."
As soon as Zhen came in, he looked familiar, his tone was affectionate, and he was smiling, and he didn't know, and he thought they were old friends who knew each other well.
Sheng Mingzhu sat up, smiling politely and detached, "Madame is polite, it should be us to visit you, but the situation here seems to be a little chaotic, and my brother is not worried that I will go out alone, so I have not passed, and please Lord Li and Mrs. Li don't blame me and my brother for not knowing etiquette." ”。
Sheng Mingzhu's expression was faint, and Zhen's face stiffened, but he soon said casually: "The county lord's words will torment us, the county lord and the second son can come to our Longan County, it is our county that is full of brilliance, how can you still ask you to come to visit us." ”
