Chapter 38 Wen Xiuxiu

The governor's yamen had three days of food to distribute, and there was still a lot of surplus to ensure that everyone received food.

Not only that, Hongli also ordered someone to confiscate 308,000 taels of gold of unknown origin from the governor's mansion.

"I will report to the emperor and send another official to replace the governor, and until the new official comes, I will continue to stay here to help everyone rebuild their homes, and try my best to plant some seasonal vegetables in exchange for some supplies needed for winter." In front of many ordinary people, Hongli boldly said what he thought.

"What if there is another corrupt official?"

"Yes......" The people began to get restless.

"Although there are corrupt officials, but the clean officials are also everywhere, I swear here, I will do my best to crack down on corrupt officials, in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled women, there are laborers, help build the river dam, the government will pay each person one or two a day, used to subsidize the family, natural and man-made disasters are common, as long as we have the courage to face it, I believe that next year will be better."

"Papa......" The crowd cheered and clapped their hands intertwined.

Hongli asked Lord Zhang to transport the surplus silver taels to Beijing first, so as to enrich the treasury so that it could be used where it should be used. He waited for the arrival of the new governor and then returned to the capital.

A few days later, Zhang Tingyu returned to the capital, and he didn't even return to his home, so he approached the palace for the first time.

"Minister Zhang Tingyu participates in the emperor!"

"Aiqing is flat! What about Prince Bao? ”

"Back to the emperor, Prince Bao said that he would not return to Beijing until the governor of the emperor's new faction arrived."

"The new governor?"

"The former governor was beheaded by the prince, this prince is really impressive to Weichen, originally the minister thought that he lacked experience, and he would be afraid to do things, but the result was the opposite, bold, intelligent and decisive, it was really a five-body throw that the old minister admired."

"Hahaha...... I rarely hear you praise people, it seems that my Hongli has really grown up, today I have time, you tell me about it. "The emperor is a dragon face and a great joy, and he desperately wants to know what happened.

"It has to start with burying the corpses on the side of the road......"

Zhang Tingyu spoke brilliantly, and the emperor also listened to it with relish.

After a long time, I finally finished talking about such a long experience, "Okay, not only to solve the disaster in the south, but also to solve the problem of the empty treasury, and the insect plague near the capital also has silver to dial, so you can get it in one fell swoop, great!" ”

"Your Majesty, as soon as the minister returned to Beijing, he entered the palace to face the saint, and he didn't go back to report his family's safety! If nothing else, then the minister ......"

"Okay, you can go back!"

"Retire!" Zhang Tingyu withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Chen Yu, take control of Chuxiu Palace."

"Huh!" came to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

"The concubines welcome the emperor!" Concubine Tong and Concubine Xiang came out to salute together.

"Flat! Concubine Xiang is also there? Seeing Concubine Xiang, the emperor was a little surprised.

"Erchen greets Huang Amma!" Hongtai also saluted the emperor.

"Tai'er is also here, come, get up, Huang Ama may not have seen you for a long time." The emperor led Hongtai to the house.

"Huang Ama has a lot of opportunities, of course he can't be like Ama of ordinary people's families, his son is ashamed, he can't share his worries and solve problems for Huang Ama, unlike the fourth brother, he can help Huang Ama."

"My Tai'er has also grown up, and I know that I have helped Huang Ama share his worries, my dynasty has a wide territory and a big country, and when you grow up, there will be opportunities." The emperor stroked Hongtai's head.

When Concubine Xiang heard this, her face changed, this is clearly the meaning of the king's fiefdom, the previous prince's dream was shattered instantly, and she originally wanted to bring Hongtai to Concubine Xiang, and she got along with the emperor a lot, who would have thought that the emperor didn't put Hongtai in his eyes at all.

"Yingying, do you know that Hongli has made great contributions?"

"Really? He is a smart man, and he will not fail to live up to the emperor's trust. ”

The two of them said vigorously that Concubine Xiang did not exist at all, although she was not very favored when there was no Concubine Tong before, but she was not so transparent that she was transparent!

Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, with affection, Concubine Xiang gritted her teeth with hatred.

The new governor finally arrived in Henan, and Hongli arranged things in a hurry, so he and Heber embarked on the road back.

"Young master, I really admire you, you can see everything so thoroughly, unlike me, the old man will gallop on the battlefield."

"This world is like this, Wen is indispensable, and martial arts are indispensable, while you admire me, how can you know that I also admire you for blocking a hundred."

"Hahaha......"

Walking to a forest near the capital, Heber suddenly stopped the carriage, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"Back to the young master, there is a person lying in the middle of the road ahead."

"Let's go check it out!" Hongli also lifted the curtain and poked his head out to check.

Heber jumped out of the carriage and probed, "Young master, you're still alive." ”

"Carry her to the car! When you enter the city, find a doctor to take a look. ”

"Young master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, it's a girl?"

"It's a human life, where did you get so many secular rules, come in quickly."

"Yes!" Heber carried her into the carriage.

Hongli looked at it carefully, and saw that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, although he was unkempt, but he could also see that he was beautiful and beautiful.

I don't know if it was a lot of bumps in the carriage, but she actually woke up halfway, and when she saw Hongli in front of her, her face was shocked, but she was not nervous at all, "Who are you?" Where am I? ”

"Girl, are you awake? I just saw you faint on the road, and I happened to take you into the city to see the doctor. ”

"Oh!" She lifted the curtain to look at Heber and stepped back into the car.

"May I ask the girl's name, where do you want to go?"

"My name is Wen Xiuxiu, my parents have passed away one after another, and I am helpless, and I want to go to the capital to find my sister." As he spoke, tears flowed out.

Seeing this, Hongli was caught off guard, "Give, don't cry, it's normal for people to be born, old, sick and die." Hongli handed her his handkerchief to wipe away tears.

Wen Xiuxiu took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, wiped a handful of snot, and then handed it back to Hongli, who dared to ask for it, "Just give it to the girl!" ”

"Really give me such a delicate handkerchief." Wen Xiuxiu immediately burst into tears and smiled, admiring her handkerchief carefully.

On weekdays, the women Hongli has seen are all knowledgeable and courteous, soft and weak, and well-behaved, and there are still such women, he finally opened his eyes today.

"Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, give!"

Wen Xiuxiu took it and began to devour it.

"Slow down, be careful not to choke."

"You know what? I haven't eaten in three days, but I'm glad I met you. ”

The appearance of eating is so miserable that Hongli doesn't dare to look at it.

"Young master, I've arrived in the capital."

"Okay, it's time to go to the capital, go find your sister! We still have something to do, this is some silver taels, you can take it in case you need it! ”

Wen Xiuxiu took the money bag, "Thank you, young master, goodbye." She jumped out of the carriage and watched them go.

After the two of them entered Beijing to resume their lives, Heber returned to the mansion, "General, you are back!" The butler opened the door and welcomed the general in.

"Cousin, you're finally back! It took more than three months to go to Henan, and I miss you to death. Wanting excitedly pounced and hugged Heber.

"Okay! There are so many people watching! Let's talk about it when we go back to the house. ”

"Uh-huh!" Wanting wiped away her excited tears, took Heber's hand, and returned to the room together.

"Cousin, you don't need to lose your word! In the days of your absence, Concubine Tong has already temporarily managed the harem, and when you and the prince come back, the emperor will officially issue an order and hold a canonization ceremony. When is our wedding going to happen? Even back in the house, Wanting held Heber's arm and refused to let go.

"Wanting, you really don't regret it, you know, I can't fulfill my responsibilities as a husband at all."

"Never, I, Tong Jia Wanting, was born for you, without you, I would rather not live." Wanting raised a palm and swore to the sky.

"Okay, then let's pick an auspicious day nearby! There's no need to wait for Yingying to stand up. ”

"Thank you, cousin."

The auspicious day was chosen, and the general's mansion began to prepare for the marriage.

Wen Xiuxiu walked around the city for several days, but she didn't find the place she was looking for, at this time, she came to the gate of Liuchun Courtyard, and was so tired that she leaned against the corner to rest.

"Have you heard? There's a new girl in Liuchun Courtyard, Maung Sai Diao Chan, let's go, let's take a look! A large group of prostitutes were talking at the gate of Liuchun Courtyard.

"Ruchun Temple?" Wen Xiuxiu hurriedly looked up, "Liuchun Courtyard, yes, this is here, I finally found it." Although she didn't know a few words, she went to a private school to ask Mr. to teach these three words.

She mixed in with the group of prostitutes, upstairs and downstairs, in the front yard and in the backyard, looking inside and out, but there was no trace of her sister.

She walked downstairs dejectedly, and rolled down the stairs without paying attention, and her roll immediately attracted everyone's attention. The girl who was closer to her lifted her up from the ground.

The bustard approached and looked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm here for my sister." Wen Xiuxiu endured the pain all over her body and returned to the bustard with confidence.

"Your sister, who is your sister? Where did the charlatans come from? The old bustard circled around Wen Xiuxiu, although she was dressed a little shabby, but her sharp eyes still found that this was a good seedling.

"My sister's name is Wen Yingying, and she was sold to Liuchun Courtyard by my father eight years ago."

"Wen Yingying? There is no such person, but if you want, you can stay, and it will definitely be popular. The bustard walked over and pinched her*.

"What are you doing? Perverted. Although Wen Xiuxiu is a country girl, at least she understands the shame, she shook off the bustard's hand fiercely.

She took advantage of the bustard's inattention and rushed out of the door.

"Hey! It's a pity, what a good seedling, everyone continue! It's all gone! ”

"Sister, where the hell are you? Why did that woman say she didn't know you? Daddy said, obviously he sold you in Liuchun Courtyard. It's all my fault, it's not for me to heal me, you won't be sold to this kind of place. She had nowhere else to go, just outside the Liuchun Courtyard, stupidly waiting.
