Chapter 666: Mountain Rain is Coming

On this day, the wind was very strong, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was coming.

Cheng Ziyu pretended to be relaxed and went to see Li Chun with Hongyu.

She smiled and sent people from the city to the city gate, and then followed on horseback for a long time, until the long snake-like team on the hill slowly shrunk, and finally shrunk into a black dot and disappeared, Cheng Ziyu turned around and got on the horse, letting the tears hang.

"Ziyu, you're much stronger than me." Ruby sighed. "Whatever it is."

At this moment, she suddenly felt how boring she was to be awkward with He Sijing today. Look at the hearts of others, and then look at yourself...... You're lucky, right? I'm so idle, so I can ink on the little of men and women.

"Ziyu, I'll help you. I'll help you in the workshop tomorrow. Whatever you want me to do, just ask. I'll be your follower! ”

"Phew, fool me again, you said that this time last year, right? The result? After a few days of studying, I ran away. Cheng Ziyu couldn't help laughing. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to fight Hongyu, she would have liked to say: You are not even qualified to be a follower!

"I'm serious. I am deeply ashamed to see you like this. I think about it, even if I can't help you too much, I can't be a burden to you, right? You're a sick person, and it's my turn to take care of you. ”

"How am I a patient?"

"Lovesickness. Look at you, the appearance of a resentful woman wiping her tears, isn't it lovesickness? ”

"I'm not."

"Then I'll invite you to dinner."

"No appetite."

"You don't think about it, isn't it lovesickness? Let's go, Vinlan got an authentic Korean ginseng chicken soup, which is the best way to replenish your body this summer. Accompanied by barbecue and drinking some chilled fruit wine, it is the most comfortable.

Yes, Wang Yue has Jingxi's green plum soaking wine there, just ask her to bring it, so she has to ice it first. I picked up a few more fish and steamed them, my cook just pickled a set of spicy ones a while ago, and several of them tasted very enjoyable, so I brought them with me. Well, then go to Tianxianglou to pack a piece of eight braised food and sweets, that's enough, a big table......"

......" Cheng Ziyu knew that Hongyu and the others had good intentions, but it was difficult to refuse. Sister, thank you. ”

Hongyu's face is slightly red, slightly embarrassed.

If Cheng Ziyu knew that she and the other two women were so diligent, just for face and silver, would she be strangled to death by Cheng Ziyu?

Cheng Hongyu will definitely not tell her good sister, Li Chun made a bet with a few idle and panicked women before leaving:

When he comes back, if Cheng Ziyu can gain weight, they will win. For every pound of fat, he gave them a hundred taels.

If he loses weight, they give him ten taels for every pound he loses.

This is for the daughter-in-law not to lose the flesh and to give silver! How could they refuse?

Moreover, it is much easier to grow meat than to lose it. Cheng Ziyu is not a dry eater who is not fat, but they have watched her grow from thin to this moment...... Prominent.

Even if it's for the sake of Li Chun's heartfelt intentions, they can't refuse, right?

As soon as the three women were combined, the more they felt that this matter was reliable.

First, Li Chun and Cheng Ziyu have a rich family. Even if you win him ten catties, it is one thousand taels. This bit of silver is not even a fraction of this couple, right?

Second, it's a good thing. It not only liberalized Ziyu, but also gave them more time to get together, and deepened their relationship, a good thing! There's no man, and they're in each other's company, right?

Three, naturally, it is to earn some extra money. There is silver to spend together, comfortable!

As a result, the guilt of the three women was completely gone.

Just do it, they decided to try their best to raise Cheng Ziyu into a fat man before Li Chun came back. The goal, twenty pounds guaranteed.

Well, there is no cap.

Facing the enthusiastic and caring crowd, Cheng Ziyu was flattered by the fact that they were trying to pull themselves to eat, drink and have fun.

These people even packed the melons and fruits and snacks she ate in her workshop.

Ruby followed her wholeheartedly to do chores.

The Queen Mother also came to join in the fun, lest Li Chun not take good care of her body if she was not there, as long as she entered the palace once, she would reward her with a few bowls of good things to eat.

After only half a month's effort, she noticed that her face was noticeably rounder.

In front of the mirror, she warned herself very seriously, how big is this heart, the man went out to fight, he didn't have anything to eat and drink, the man went home and found that he had become a fat man, and she became a big joke in the capital.

So, she resolutely went to the kiln.

Now, she finally got rid of the three of them.

In this big summer, the kiln is hotter than the steamer, Cheng Ziyu has long been used to it, and it is no hindrance. But the three women were not strong enough, and none of them could stay in it for more than a quarter of an hour, and they were defeated one after another.

It was Cheng Ziyu, who sweated a few more times a day by relying on the heat of the kiln, and quickly lost weight, so that the three women jumped straight in their eyes, and the three women who were afraid of sweating profusely and spending makeup had nothing to do......

Li Chun also received two letters from there.

He was armed with cavalry, and he was very fast, and he arrived at the camp in a few days.

The first letter was his peace.

The second letter was sent two days after arriving at the place, and he personally spied on it and was very satisfied with the results. It's exactly what she described in her previous life, so everything went well. He fought for it, and he returned in two months.

Cheng Ziyu was at ease, so she returned to the workshop.

The days flickered, and it was August.

She's been feeling a little whim lately.

On this day, she entered the palace to ask for peace, and the queen mother asked the imperial doctor to take her pulse as usual.

"The pulse is stable, everything is fine." The Imperial Doctor, as the old saying goes.

Cheng Ziyu thanked him with a smile and forced his heart's expectations.

Not pregnant.

It's been more than a month since I stopped taking the drug, and if there is news, I should be able to have it. Recently, she was cautious, and the monthly letter didn't come for three days, and she thought it was ......

It just so happened that the emperor also came, and he took a pulse by the way.

Li Chun is not there, the emperor is working harder, and there seems to be more silver sideburns.

The emperor was very busy, drank a bowl of tonics, and then gossiped a few words.

This year is not good, drought in the north, flooding in the south, especially in summer, drought and waterlogging are aggravated a lot, even the Cheng family invested a lot of money in the north and south of the good hall The expenses are also a lot larger.

Fortunately, after the Hongze Dam was heightened and reinforced, the Huai River flood did not occur. But even so, many areas of the Yangtze River basin, which is covered with a dense river network, are still flooded.

For this reason, Cheng Ziyu and Cheng Hui discussed that in addition to the additional donations, they also instructed people to go to the south to see for themselves whether it was necessary to help expand the charity hall.

Cheng Ziyu is so worried, and the troubles of the imperial court are even more visible.

Natural disasters**, there are too many headaches for the emperor. He wished that Zhu Changzhe could return to Beijing as soon as possible, and he could help him share some of the burden.

The Queen Mother suggested that the fifth child should simply stay in Jiangnan and not be in a hurry to come back.

Lao Wu has just finished building the embankment, if he represents the imperial court in the south for disaster relief, then both the prestige of the imperial court and his reputation will be more beneficial than disadvantageous. It just so happens that it can also allow him to see the common people on the front line, which is also good for his heart and vision. The Queen Mother felt that this was better than going to the army for training.

The emperor should have gone down.

It is indeed good to help Lao Wu accumulate some more reputation, and the more merits he has, the more people in the DPRK and China will support him. The benefits to him are not small.

As a result, before the completion of the Zhu Changzhe Dam, he was given a new job for disaster relief and continued to stay in Jiangnan......

Bai Heng finally got the news there.

Zhu Changan's injury has gradually stabilized, and Beiban has not moved recently, so he will arrange for Zhu Changan to leave for Beijing in half a month.

For the emperor, this was almost one of the few "good news".

And Cheng Ziyu was not very happy when she received the news from Jing Xi.

The third uncle's concubine, who had just entered the door, accidentally rolled down from the rockery at home when he was playing at home, knocked his head, and woke up with only drooling and smirking, a little stupid.

Cheng Ming found someone to check and confirmed that the child accidentally fell by himself, not man-made. Even the guards arranged by Cheng Ziyu in the Cheng Mansion said that no outsiders had ever appeared in the mansion, and no one had ever approached the child. There should be no artificiality.

It was an accident.

Cheng Ziyu was a little stunned when she received the news.

This cousin, she hasn't seen her in her previous life or this life, so what's going on?

But she hadn't come back to her senses yet, and He's letter had arrived.

It is said that gentle illness is still good and bad, and it is repeated over and over again, tossing people to the point that they have no human shape. Every time the medicine just went down, it was effective, but it would return to the same state after a few days, and several famous doctors were not clear, so they could only try to test the medicine as gently as possible.

Cheng Ziyu looked at the two letters and didn't fall asleep all night.

It is said that it is not man-made, it is not harmed, it is really unfavorable for the passing years, and the Cheng family's qi has been used up?

She went to the palace the next day, she knew that she was not in accordance with the rules, and she wanted to ask the queen mother to give her a grace and give a royal doctor to go to Jiangnan to see a gentle doctor. By the way, you can also give the third uncle's concubine a look.

It's difficult, and if the subject is a master, there may be hope. But although gentleness is not a minion, it is only a steward in the house. It is inappropriate to let a high-grade imperial doctor leave his business and go all the way to see an irrelevant person.

It happened that the emperor was also there, and her heart turned, and when the emperor had just finished talking to the queen mother about disaster relief, she opened her mouth to ask the emperor if he could let the imperial doctor who went south help him go to Cheng's house to see a rash.

"What imperial doctor going south?"

"After the flood, there are many floating corpses of people and animals in the river, frequent diseases, and occasional plagues, Jinxi thinks that there will be a ...... of imperial doctors to prevent diseases."

There was a brief silence......

"You're right. It's doable. "How could the emperor not know this. There are floods every year, but generally unless there is an outbreak of plague, the local yamen is generally responsible for disease prevention. But this year is different, there are too many disasters, and the old five urgently need to accumulate prestige......

If the solemnity of the court is given to the people, it is not bad to count this merit on the head of the old five.

Since there is no opportunity for the army to accumulate reputation, let's do these things.

On the morning of the second day, there were courtiers who played a game to prevent diseases, and the emperor agreed, and organized a medical team headed by Imperial Doctor Ge to go to Jiangnan immediately......

Cheng Ziyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after visiting Imperial Doctor Ge with courtesy, she hurriedly went to a letter to ask He to prepare to take Wen Wen to see a doctor.

Seven days later, in the middle of the night, there was a burst of summer thunder, and Cheng Ziyu, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was woken up by Xia Wei.

"What's wrong?" She sat up.

It turned out that the medical team led by Imperial Doctor Ge had an accident two days ago as soon as they entered Jiangnan.

A medical team, including two imperial doctors, plus a fifteen-member escort team, encountered a landslide on the mountain trail, and several wagons rolled down the ravine and were buried in mud and rocks.

Twenty-three people, none of whom survived.

The conclusion of the local yamen investigation was that due to the heavy rain for several days, the mountain road was slippery and loose, and it was already on the verge of collapse......

The point is that no man-made traces have been found around.

So, this is also an accident?

Cheng Ziyu was a little unconvinced.

If it's artificial, then it's for her? Or did you go to Zhu Changzhe? Or is it both?

If it is artificial, then since the other party is killing, is it no longer going to hide it, is it ready to show its fangs?

Is this a signal? Prelude? Begin?

What is the purpose?

Cheng Ziyu's heart tightened, and her heart fluttered.

When will Li Chun come back?

Is the other party deliberately going to take advantage of Li Chun's absence? Li Chun is not here, if something happens to Jiangnan, what should he do?

The doppelganger lacks skills!

"Xia Wei, how is the southwest?"

"Everything was fine. The master relaxes first, maybe it's really a coincidence. ”

Where can Cheng Ziyu still sleep?

She first wrote a letter to Li Chun.

Immediately afterwards, she wrote another letter to Zhu Changzhe. She couldn't help it.

Li Chun is not here, if there are variables in Jiangnan, the only person who can take care of and help him nearby may be Zhu Changzhe.

begged him to help take care of the Cheng family, begged him to find someone to help him see a gentle doctor, begged him to pay more attention to Jingxi, if he could, when necessary, please ask him to lend a hand, she will not forget this kindness in the future.

As soon as the morning dawned, she personally sent the letter to King Zhe's Mansion and asked Wen Lan to pass it on her behalf. Vinland said that it would be delivered quickly.

Wen Lan wanted to keep Cheng Ziyu for breakfast, but Cheng Ziyu refused.

She entered the palace.

In Cining Palace, the two imperial physicians were wiping away tears.

They just found out what had happened.

Seeing Cheng Ziyu enter the house, Qi Shushu looked at his eyes with resentment.

Obviously, they knew that it was because of Cheng Ziyu's mouthiness that they made their old man travel far away, which eventually caused a disaster. They complained about their lives, and naturally they couldn't help but complain about Cheng Ziyu.

In this regard, Cheng Ziyu admitted it. Indeed, it was her idea. Beren died because of me, and it would not be an exaggeration to identify her as the culprit.

But this matter leaked into the ears of the two ladies so quickly, but it spread too quickly, right?

This one made Cheng Ziyu feel that all this was artificial.

The feeling of having a hand on her back turning over the clouds and rain appeared again, and she couldn't do anything about it, she hated this feeling!

"Ziyu, the mourning family has discussed with the emperor, the dispatch of the medical team has been postponed, and the emperor has asked King Zhe to organize a medical team in the local area to prevent and treat diseases......

I expected it.

Cheng Ziyu thanked him and handed over the prepared silver ticket to the Queen Mother, so that the help could be used as a bereavement subsidy to the family members of the medical team who died this time.

The Queen Mother knew that she couldn't get it, so she accepted it on her behalf.

……

Cheng Ziyu's mood became more and more depressed.

She had to try to think in the worst direction.

Gentle, cousin, medical team...... There were so many surprises surrounding her.

Uneasy, she asked people to protect the second brother and Jiang Yuxuan's family who made the final sprint for Qiu Yu. She sent another letter to Jiang Yuxuan, telling the Jiang family to avoid it if there was anything wrong.

……
