Chapter 12: Bad news
Yun Xuan was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that!" ”
Yi'er also smiled and said, "Of course Yun Gongzi didn't mean that, the little woman just wanted to ask Gongzi, Gongzi asked the little girl to go back to Yun's house with you, how does Gongzi plan to settle in me?" Girl? Through-room? Or a concubine? Or does the young woman feel that with the background of the little girl, the son has the heart to take it in, which is already a great favor, and the little girl should be grateful to Dade and readily promise? ”
"No, no, no!" Yun Xuan waved his hand again and again, he usually behaved calmly, he would be a little panicked, "I just think that those are just names, maybe they don't matter at all!" ”
Yi'er smiled again, but there was a touch of self-deprecation in her smile, and said: "Childe is wrong, the little girl is actually a layman, and what she values is such a name!" ”
Yun Xuan was stunned for a moment, and saw that Yi'er didn't seem to be joking, so he said, "Okay!" I admit that I can't be the master of my marriage now, but you give me a few years, you are still young, wait for me for a few years, and I will definitely be able to give you a ...... when the time comes."
"The son and the little girl are only one side of each other, how much love can withstand a few years of stumbling? The little woman didn't dare to expect the oath of the child, and she also couldn't promise the child, the son said it! ”
Yun Xuan looked at Yi'er fixedly, for a long time, Fang gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, but I will prove what I said today!" After speaking, before Yi'er could react, the person turned around and strode out!
Yi'er looked at Yun Xuan's figure disappearing at the door, and suddenly felt a little funny in her heart, this Yun Xuan is eighteen years old this year, so paranoid and angry, but like a child, where did she realize that in fact, her age is a real child, but she is precocious and calm, even many times, she doesn't think of herself as an eleven-year-old child!
When Wu Ying came over again the next day, she pestered Yi'er to ask about her and Yun Xuan, there was nothing between the two, Yi Yi'er just said that she had saved Yun Xuan, Yun Ying came to express her gratitude and sent her way over, she didn't say a word about anything else, where did Wu Ying believe it, but Yi'er just didn't let go, Wu Ying had no choice but to give up!
Now that Lu Yin has been re-obtained, Yi'er seriously considered the future, and finally decided to live in Wanxian County first, and then decide whether to go to Jiangnan or not when there is news from Jiang Jufang in the capital!
Life is still the same, poor but real, Wu Ying still comes to her every once in a while, sometimes with invitations from other official mansions, asking Yi'er to participate with her, Yi'er has her own identity, and she shirks them one by one.
This year's weather is also a bit abnormal, as soon as May arrives, it is panicked, and the temperature is rising and getting hotter and hotter.
In May, Granny Gou had a serious illness, Yi'er took care of her for three days and three nights, and then gradually recovered, but the old man was already old, and after this toss, although the illness was cured, but the spirit was not as good as before, when Yi'er was at home, she almost took care of all the housework at home, stubbornly let Granny Gou rest more, and pushed Wu Ying's invitation to her to go out of the city several times, which made Wu Ying have some opinions, and Yi'er had to explain patiently.
The abnormal climate finally led to a rare drought in Lianzhou, Suizhou, and Yongzhou, and a large area in the north has not rained for several months, and in some places, even in half a year, there has not been a single rain star! Coupled with the abnormal high temperature and sunshine, the river has dried up, the farmland has long been scorched and cracked, the grain planted in the spring is obviously not harvested, countless farmers not only have no rations, but also the seeds under the spring ploughing, the pre-purchased farm tools are unable to repay, and in desperation, they have left home, surrounded outside the county, and become refugees, hoping that the county government will open a warehouse for disaster relief!
At first, there were only a few farmers who were displaced and became refugees, but later more and more people became more and more troubled, and the situation became bigger and bigger, as if there was a tendency to develop into a riot due to a famine!
As soon as Emperor Qiming ascended the throne, such a natural disaster occurred in the three northern states, and the imperial court attached great importance to it, and immediately appointed Ruan Duzhong, the head of the household department, as the minister of the Qincha, to go to the three northern states to provide disaster relief and comfort to the people.
In July, Emperor Qiming was furious at the Jinluan Palace, reprimanding Ruan Duzhong and Miao Pu, the governor of Northern Province, for dereliction of duty and ineffective disaster relief.
From a dignified member of the second grade, he suddenly became a prisoner under the stairs, and the gap is really too big. Caused by Tianwei, the anger of thunder made the entire Dahui court panic for a while, and the dark clouds in the capital were thick, from the cabinet to the court officials, all trembling, for fear that the emperor's thunder fire would burn on themselves!
The next day, Emperor Qiming listened to the advice of Jiang Pei, the Duke of Ningguo, and selected the eldest prince Yang Quan from among the princes as the disaster relief minister, temporarily acting as the governor of the northern province, and leading all disaster relief matters in the three northern states.
In mid-July, the eldest prince Yang Quan left Wei Bai'an in Suizhou for disaster relief, and sent his henchman Lei Tong to Yongzhou to raise the people, but he mobilized the army of the Xizhi camp outside Suizhou City, and went straight to Lianzhou Beikai overnight, after besieging the city with a large army, the first thing Yang Quan did when he entered the city was to directly kill Wang Hong, the prefect of Lianzhou, in the name of poor disaster relief, and then use the army to town, first open the official warehouse to settle the people, and then mobilize the rich households in Lianzhou to build official sheds outside the city day and night, and temporarily resettle the victims!
At the end of July, the disaster became more and more severe, and people had difficulty even getting drinking water on a daily basis. Yang Quan wrote on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was escorted by the army from the west, and returned from the south, but the road was far away, the weather was even hotter, and the water transported back was a drop in the bucket, which could not meet the needs at all. After many people went out, they were starved to death and thirsty on the road, floating corpses for thousands of miles, miserable!
On the second day of the eighth month, Jicai should be sacrificed!
Wanxian County Commander Liu Tong set up a high platform in front of the county yamen, invited the Guiyan Taoist of Qingfeng Temple, and came to open the altar to ask for rain, the news came out, the whole county was boiling, so Guiyan Taoist walked on the high platform, and when he begged for rain, the audience was full of onlookers.
Yi'er happened to come out of the embroidery building, passing by here, and stood in the crowd to watch the excitement!
Guiyan Dao Chang is naturally a fairy wind Dao bone, and his every move is full of detachment that does not eat the fireworks of the world, but how did this old Dao Chang burn spells and chant spells to cast spells and ask for rain, Yi'er didn't notice it at all, Yi'er's attention was attracted by a few chattering people around him!
"I really hope this chief can have some ability, it won't rain anymore, everyone will starve to death here!"
"Hey, I said Chef Liu, there's nothing to eat in this other place, your dining house is one of the largest restaurants in the country, don't tell us, even you don't have anything to eat!"
"There's still enough to eat, but look at this damn weather, it's so hot that people don't say it's panicking, and now even the water is starting to run short, where do you think there are still people who have the leisure to go to our place to eat on this day? No one came to eat, and we are afraid that this month's moon silver will be in the soup again. I can barely eat enough in the building, but there are still girls and children at home, where can they go to find something to eat? ”
"Go, I think you can just bring your wife and children to the building, anyway, the signboard of the Judian Building is so big, a few more people are eating, and it can't collapse!"
"You said it lightly, it's good that our host really has such a good heart!"
"Alas, too, in the event of such a natural disaster, basically no one has the leisure time to celebrate, those who are married and have birthdays, red and white ceremonies, and it is normal for those of you who do restaurants and restaurants to be affected by business!"
"Oh, when you talk about this, I also remembered the gossip that my senior brother came from the capital."
"What gossip?"
"Didn't my senior brother do it in the dining hall in Yundu, the capital, just last month, at the beginning of July, they also took a wedding job in the building!"
"Do you still have the heart to do happy things at this time?"
"Yes, it's still a noble and wealthy family, Xichangbo Mansion, have you heard of it?"
"Xichangbo Mansion? How can you not hear of it? Isn't the commentary all talking, this Xichang Bofu turned out to be the Xichang Marquis Mansion, the first Xichang Marquis Jiang Congwen was fighting the world with the grandfather, the bloody battle in Liuliwan, the meritorious service, the grandfather became the emperor, and the hereditary Xichang Marquis was not reduced, but it is a pity that this Jiang Congwen is a hero, but his descendants are becoming more and more disagreeable, when the first emperor, the Xichang Marquis Mansion made a mistake, or the first emperor sympathized with Jiang Congwen's hard work and achievements, this is just a reduction to the Bofu, and the Danshu iron coupon given by the great grandfather was withdrawn! By the way, is Xichang Bofu marrying a wife or a daughter at this time? ”
"Marry a girl! Hehe, but it's not an idler to marry, it's the Geng family in the Ministry of Officials! ”
"Geng family? So it is said that the son of the Geng family is marrying the young lady of Xichang Bofu! ”
"Go! What is the son of the Geng family, isn't the groom official the Lord Geng in the Ministry of Officials! ”
"Lord Geng? No way, I heard that Master Geng is over fifty years old, and he has already married a wife! ”
"What do you know, Lord Geng's wife has long since died, this time to marry Mrs. Xuxian! I heard that Xichang Bofu is married to a concubine of Xichang Bo's son, who is fifteen years old, and she was born so well! ”
"Well, isn't this a delicate flower stuck in the old cow dung?"
"Who's to say it isn't? But you would never have imagined that Miss Jiang from Xichangbo Mansion was also a decisive character, and on the first night of her marriage, a white silk was hanged in her boudoir! ”
