Chapter 229: See
The prosperous and splendid land in the south of the Yangtze River is the richest place in Dachu, but since they went out of Beijing and walked all the way south, what they saw and heard was far from the richness of the past. Coupled with the successive scorching heat and drought, there are many people who cannot afford to eat, and the number of beggars roaming the streets has only increased.
Zhangzhu has also seen the people in the government drive these beggars away, and he is not at all light.
Liao Kai drove the car and palm beads and said, "Miss Fu, do you know why the palace is in trouble? ”
"I don't know."
Liao Kai said again: "In this era, it is time to make changes, because the roots have long been rotten. What we saw along the way was just a drop in the bucket, and there were many drawbacks that we couldn't see. Even if the people in the government saw it, they would not do anything about it. How rich this area used to be, and now you see, where is the upward weather? The mental outlook on everyone's face is already completely different. ”
Because when it comes to change, the Jin King's uprising is just?! Zhangzhu couldn't find an answer for a while. She is the daughter of the Xie family, the ancestral training of the Xie family is to teach the children and grandchildren loyalty, but her father has been loyal and righteous all his life but has been framed, so she sometimes wonders if the ancestral training is right?
After a long detour, on the eleventh day their carriage entered a quiet col.
The people of King Rong's Mansion did not show up in Ancheng, and only dared to hide in such a secluded place.
"How long will it take?" Zhangzhu couldn't help but ask.
Liao Kai said: "Don't worry, girl, you can go for two hours at most." ”
After so many days, this little road is not an obstacle at all.
She watched the mountains gradually retreat, and saw the sunset stain the slopes red, hoping to reach her destination before dark, and it was not a smart move to feel dark in such a completely unfamiliar place.
I saw the tired birds returning to the forest, and the shadow of the sun slanted westward. The crops in the field have already been dried by the sun, and the dead branches in the field can be lit immediately if there is only a little spark.
After walking for a while, a shepherd boy riding a green ox came playing the piccolo, and the two parties met, and the shepherd boy asked in a loud voice: "Who is in front?" ”
"Passerby, how to get to Guanyin Cave?"
When the shepherd boy heard this, he turned his head and said, "You have to cross this mountain, and you will have to cross another river." ”
When Liao Kai heard this, he thanked him and went in the direction pointed by the shepherd boy.
Zhangzhu took a closer look, but saw that the child on the back of the cow was only six or seven years old, wearing only a pair of shorts, a patched blue short coat, combed two mustaches, black and thin, but it revealed a sense of intelligence. He played an unknown tune, the melodious sound of which echoed through the valley for a long time.
With a guide, the journey went smoothly. However, by the time they arrived at the Guanyin Cave, it was already dark, and they could only hear the barking of dogs. Liao Kai got out of the carriage and asked one by one, and then stopped in front of a village.
"Miss Fu, we've arrived." Liao Kai lifted the curtain and asked Zhangzhu to get out of the car.
Zhangzhu glanced at it, and it was dark outside that she couldn't tell the direction, but she still obediently got out of the car. After standing still, I saw a door open, Liao Kai led the way in front, and Zhangzhu followed.
Someone came over with a lantern: "Is Liao Kai here?" ”
Liao Kai agreed: "Yes, I brought Miss Fu at the behest of the second master." ”
The man with the lantern said, "Please come inside." ”
In the end, Zhangzhu didn't see what the person who made the lantern looked like. She followed her into a room that resembled a nave, and just as she stood still, she saw a woman come out with a baby in her arms.
"Sister Fu!"
Zhangzhu listened to the familiar voice, looked carefully, but saw that it was the princess. I haven't seen her for a few months, and she hasn't reacted for a while, but then she saw the child in the arms of the princess, and she walked over with some excitement: "Are the mother's children so big?" ”
The princess was obviously more excited than her when she saw the palm beads: "It's really Sister Fu who is here." This is my daughter, you haven't seen it yet. ”
When Zhangzhu left the first month, the child was still in the belly of the princess, and now it has been a hundred days. Zhangzhu didn't have any resistance to the soft little baby, she couldn't help but touch the child's fleshy little face, and smiled: "What a cute child." ”
"Thanks to my sister, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have her." The princess said sincerely.
The situation of the princess in the palace is a little difficult, and it is naturally much more comfortable for her to give birth to a daughter than to give birth to a son. Looking at the little girl with pink makeup, she was also pleased with the princess.
The two exchanged a few words, and Zhangzhu didn't have time to ask where Chu Yuanzhen was, only asked where the princess was.
The princess said: "My sister has just arrived here, it is better to rest for one night and see the mother tomorrow." It's the road, and I'm still hungry, so I can put other things aside for the time being, and I ordered someone to prepare a meal. ”
The princess didn't look anxious at all, but she said so, and there was nothing to worry about in the palm beads.
The princess invited Zhangzhu to sit in the next room, and told her in detail what had happened in the past few months.
"My sister left without saying a word, almost didn't kill the old lady of the Du family, and there was a serious illness in March, and I heard that the doctor asked me to prepare for the future, and somehow survived. I heard that we hadn't been on the ground until we left Shoufeng, and your aunt was taking care of it. Your third uncle's family also moved out of the Du Mansion and found a house outside again. When I gave birth to Rongrong, my eldest cousin didn't come, and I heard that she was too busy, so I only asked people to bring a few gifts. Good sister, the Du family treats you well, why do you think about leaving? ”
Faced with the princess's concern, Zhangzhu inevitably replied: "I have something to do." ”
"Hey, what the hell is going on? Don't need the Du family's help yet? The princess was curious.
Zhangzhu said: "They can't help. She didn't want the Du family to be involved in this case.
"Oh, is that done?"
Zhangzhu shook her head helplessly, and the princess couldn't help but say when she saw this: "As I once said, as long as you can cure my illness, I can fulfill your wish, if you have any difficulties, you can discuss with me, I really treat you as a sister." ”
Zhangzhu said: "Thank you for your kindness, but Niangniang can't help with this." ”
When the princess heard this, she didn't ask any more questions, but said, "I hope I can help you one day in the future." ”
The two said a few words, and the princess said again: "My mother and I are here, the prince and the prince have not been back for a long time, and his second uncle has not shown up for a few days. But he knows you're coming, and he's going to see you. You wait patiently for him to be done. ”
Zhangzhu hurriedly said: "The second prince said that the princess was seriously ill and asked me to take a look, but what is the disease?" ”
Speaking of her mother-in-law's illness, the princess looked embarrassed: "In the first month, she was scared out of her illness for so long, and she has been good and bad. We went all the way from Shoufeng to here, and she didn't take much care of her, and now she has fallen ill. I didn't expect his second uncle to come to you, but I can trust your medical skills, and I hope you can cure her. ”
