Although everyone in the Su family was silent, Su Yingchen's heart still didn't want to go, that Su Huiyao was his sister with the same father and mother, and he had done such a rebellious thing, and others were already kind to him if they didn't get angry with him.

Cheng Tao finally came back, and Sheng Guizhi arranged a table of banquets for him, which was regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for him, and Su Yunyao and the others also had a good mouth.

Bean paste rolls, braised pork, ham and bamboo shoot soup, cherry meat, braised pork ribs, roe deer in sauce, crab roe tofu, five-spice vegetarian chicken slices and garlic whitebait soup.

It's basically meat.

During the meal, everyone knew that Cheng Tao was really not an ordinary hardship in the south for a while, in order to let the people eat more, they could only eat one less bite, and they had not even tasted a chicken leg for so long, and his guards went to shoot a pheasant, originally wanted to improve it for him and Taizi, but in the end they didn't eat it, and they gave it to the people.

Later, the grain and grass were robbed by gangsters, and the two of them watched the people starve to death, which hurt like a knife in their hearts, so they didn't even eat at that time, and they could save one by one, causing them to be hungry.

Just tried his best to control the flood to the people, but he was still said by the Lin family's henchmen to be a 'bitter meat trick', "this is deliberately starving like this", "obviously a show, afraid that the emperor will punish them for the robbery of grain and grass".

Everyone didn't say a word after hearing this, their hearts were angry and distressed, Sheng Guizhi shed tears even more, looking at her thin husband who had no flesh on his body, he couldn't cry himself.

"Didn't I come back well?" Cheng Tao smiled and hugged Sheng Guizhi's shoulder, "The flood has healed, and people have come back safely, there are no missing arms or lame legs, don't worry." ”

"What do you say, but it really worries me, I can't sleep every night, as soon as I close my eyes, you are covered in blood, every time my father brings news that the refugees are attacking you again, I am afraid, but it really makes me... Makes me so worried! ”

Seeing Sheng Guizhi, who is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, crying like this, Cheng Tao also had wet eyes, and repeatedly promised that he would protect and take care of himself, and floods do not happen every year, so he is not afraid.

After returning home, Su Yunyao told Qin Manhuai the news of Cheng Tao's safe return, Qin Manhuai breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and now that she had been worried, she was finally more comfortable.

She also told Su Yao about the tragic situation when the south was controlling the water.

"The Lin family is really doing everything to make King Heng the emperor, and the lives of the common people are like mustard, I really can't believe that if King Heng is the lord of the world in the future, what kind of miserable situation will the people be! The common people are waiting for those life-saving foods every day, and they rob them in order to frame them and say that they are robbed, and they will not die of hunger, what a group of beasts! ”

Su Yaoyi said rhetorically.

"Father, don't be too angry, the deceased is gone, and we can't do anything, but cousin, they still saved a group of people as much as possible, His Royal Highness the prince is smart, and he has survived for a while by exchanging some food for the protection of the merchants, and he didn't let the tragedy last too long, and the life-saving grain of the imperial court is not slow, which can be regarded as a remedy."

At that time, the flood was flooding, and there were countless casualties, and the merchants who were looking for peace and security in the capital were ordered by the imperial court to get a part of the money and grain, whether it was Su Hui or Fang Li Kang Jinglan, the silver money of the merchants who had no home should not be less than three hundred taels, and the grain should not be less than two hundred catties.

However, the final person in charge of this matter is the Lin family, and there is not much left after being exploited at the top level, and some of them were ruthlessly snatched away by the Lin family, and very few were really sent to the disaster area, all supported by Taizi and Cheng Tao with their own strength.

really responded to Su Yao's words, if King Heng became the emperor in the future, not to mention whether he would make the country more prosperous as the emperor, let's just say that the scum of the Lin family is all bullying men and women, what good things can they do for the people? The Lin family has an emperor, so aren't they even more presumptuous? Now that King Heng has not yet become the emperor, one by one he can't go to the court to point fingers at the emperor, if he really lets King Heng get his wish, I am afraid that the Lin family can change the country name to the word Lin!

A few days of warm days passed, and in a blink of an eye, the weather was completely cold, and a few pots of autumn chrysanthemums placed in front of Chang Xizhai were slightly wilted, standing under the cold and frost.

Most of the flowers and plants have lost their original color, and it is rare to see some green oil at the moment, except for some withered yellow is brown green, and occasionally see a few tender green leaves mixed with a few withered places.

On this day, Su Yao came home from the next dynasty, with a distressed look, Qin Manhuai didn't know why, and only after asking Qiu Li did he know that Su Yao was stumbled by the Lin family and demoted.

Su Yao has been trembling in the officialdom for many years, it can be said that he doesn't dare to be greedy for a penny and dare not do bad things, and he almost slips his head around all day long, and Su Yao, who has to carefully consider even a word, how could he make a mistake?

Under careful questioning, Su Yao told the truth. It turned out that Lin Sen and Lin Dehui were really resentful, and falsely said that a case in Su Yao's hand had gone wrong, causing a lot of losses.

But in fact, the mistake was caused by the Lin family, Su Yao wanted to plead two sentences, but the emperor didn't listen, and he dismissed this fourth-grade official and demoted him back to his original official position.

Su Yao is so angry! What made him even more angry was that the person who replaced him in his official position was Liu Binhong, the concubine of the eldest princess of Jinyi, the person who was good-for-nothing!

The eldest princess and the Su family also have a deep grudge, because that day in the eldest princess's mansion, Liu Lingtong pushed Su Yunyao into the water, and the entire eldest princess's mansion was ridiculed.

The same is true of Qiao Lan's matter, Liu Lingtong was angry and threw Qiao Lan there because he was embarrassed by Su Yunyao, so he was angry and left Qiao Lan there, thinking about it is also related to the Su family.

The most important thing is that Liu Lingtong is now dead, and outsiders have different opinions, some say that Su Yunyao did it, some say that Qiao Lan's family did it, but whether it is the Su family's hand or the Qiao family's hand, anyway, in the end, it all leads to the Liu family and the Lin family standing on the same front. Although the Liu family is harmless, it can't stand the eldest princess behind the Liu family!

Su Yao was angry and annoyed, what he hated was not that Lin Sen was a stumbling block, nor that Liu Binhong took his position, but that the emperor didn't even give him a chance to explain whether he was wronged or not, and a sentence made his years of hard work come to naught.

In fact, to this point, Su Yao still thinks it's good. He has been a five-grade official for many years, and it can be regarded as easy, but when it comes to the position of the fourth grade, he has to be careful and careful all the way, and many things will not be understood, and he will not even have to learn, but it is better to return to the fifth grade to be comfortable.

Qin Manhuai originally wanted to persuade him, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth, and asked Qiu's mother to make a few dishes and serve them on the table, and took the initiative to add a pot of wine to dinner.

Generally speaking, Qin Manhuai doesn't like to let Su Yao eat wine, and they all say that Xiaojiu is drunk and hurts his body, and Su Yao is still a civil official, and he doesn't look good when he is drunk. But this time is different, the official road has encountered setbacks, the family is in chaos, and she has to be on guard against being bullied by the Lin family at all times, if you want to say that these things are put on Qin Manhuai, she is also tired, maybe it is not as good as Su Yao to deal with it.

Su Yao also understood what she meant, and patted her hand, "It's okay, I'm not the one who borrows alcohol to kill my sorrows." ”

Qin Manhuai thoughtfully sandwiched some dishes into his plate, "Fang Cai Jin'er and Chen'er have come here, and asked how you are, Yun'er brought the fruit that the little grandfather gave her, and said to let you taste it, as well as Mo'er and Wan'er, one drew a picture of Qiu Ju today, and the other embroidered a shoe upper, all of which were given to you." ”

"Oh?" Su Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "I don't dare to compliment Mo'er's painting skills, what does Qiu Jutu look like, I'll take a look at it later." ”

Yes, this one is unbelievable, and it directly dispelled all the frustration of Su Yao's idea.

Qiu Ju is mostly white and yellow, and it can be seen that Su Moyao is very serious when she paints, but the effect of the painting is not satisfactory, which makes Su Yao laugh.

In Qinzhuxuan, Su Yunyao removed the bun on her head, and Songyin gently combed it with a comb behind her head.

"Girl, the slave maid inquired, the lord is in a good mood, and it is said that the ten girls sent the autumn chrysanthemum picture and coaxed the lord to do so." Lisheng said.

"If it's a big deal, it's not a painting that can coax it." Su Yunyao took off her earrings, put them on the table, looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "Father, I didn't take the official position seriously, otherwise I would have been sad a long time ago." ”

"Why did the girl say that?"

"My father is a civil official, and the embroidery on the court uniform is poultry, which means that I am dedicated to the emperor, as long as I can serve the royal family, I should arrange him in any official position, my father can't refute it, and I have to be caught by the villain in the wrong place, rather than being angry and enduring, I simply don't take those things seriously, at least my heart is not so uncomfortable."

Song Yin sighed, "I don't know what's going on this year, the promotion and demotion of the lord is quite sudden, and there is also the matter of the second lady and the seventh girl, I hope I can have a better life next year." ”

"The more I go on, the more I can't live in peace, if I continue to live in peace, won't my fifth sister die in vain?" Su Yunyao pulled a smile at herself in the bronze mirror, then got up and went back to her bed, "Sleep!" Rest early. ”

"Yes, girl."

Song Yin put down the bed tent for Su Yunyao, Lisheng blew out the candle, and the two went out of the house lightly.

However, Su Yunyao, who should have closed her eyes, opened her eyes at this time, tiptoed open the drawer, and took out Su Qianyao's small bell.

The bells are made of silver and have a crescent-white sheen in the moonlight.
