Chapter 149: Flooding

Mint was startled and waved her hand repeatedly, "No, no!" I've been looking at the food box, and absolutely no one has ever done anything to it. ”

Lu Ruoqing said: "It's always good to be more careful." ”

Mint bowed her head and answered, "I see." ”

Lu Ruoqing said, "Come, eat while it's hot." ”

Her portion is four dishes and one soup, and Mama Jin and others only have one meal, plus one dish, and the dishes are light and ordinary.

So they let everyone eat together, and she couldn't finish it anyway.

Despite this, Mama Jin and the others sat down and ate their own share of the meal first. After Lu Ruoqing finished eating, the three of them went to pick up the remaining dishes, and then drank the soup, and the four of them ate just right.

This dynasty is a five-day day, and next, Lu Ruoqing rested for four days.

It just so happened that it had been raining heavily in the past few days, and it was getting heavier and heavier day by day, and it didn't stop.

On this night, the wind and rain poured down, and the whole palace was cleaned quickly.

Mama Jin couldn't help muttering: "Although the spring rain is as expensive as oil, this oil ...... is too much." ”

Lu Ruoqing sat on the windowsill, looking at the non-stop rain line outside, vaguely feeling that it had something to do with it, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Mint smiled: "This rain has washed the palace cleanly, and the little zygote doesn't have to sweep the floor." ”

Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but look back and asked, "Who is Xiao Hezi?" ”

Mint smiled slightly, "It's ......, the little eunuch who bumped into me last time." ”

"Kozygo?"

Mint was afraid of being scolded by his master, so he hurriedly explained, "Miss, that little zygote is very good, and he didn't mean to bump into me last time, and he didn't do anything in the food box." ”

Lu Ruoqing frowned slightly.

She suppressed her restless temper and said, "I just asked casually, what are you doing so nervous?" When you come to the palace, you will naturally meet some people in the future, which is not a big deal. ”

Actually, she wasn't upset with Mint's concealment.

But I always feel that there seems to be something important related to the rain, and I can't remember it.

The night passed.

The next day, it was the day of the pilgrimage.

Now Lu Ruoqing can take Ti Ying out, and Ti Ying doesn't have to wait at the back door, but can send her all the way to the gate of the Jinluan Palace, which can be described as safe and thorough.

Ji Xiang greeted him and said with a smile: "Lady Lu is here." ”

Lu Ruoqing also smiled, "Thank you for reporting the news last time, otherwise I would definitely be in trouble." ”

auspicious but very modest, "Lu Nuguan Jiren has her own natural appearance." ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't say much, and took advantage of the back, and stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels over.

Jixiang accepted it unceremoniously.

Lu Ruoqing said again: "Tiying, I stayed here, and I have to bother Father-in-law Jixiang to take care of everyone." ”

Ji Xiang smiled: "No problem, Miss Ti Ying is here properly." ”

Lu Ruoqing went to the front of the Jinluan Palace.

She did a good job in her position, just nodded to the opposite side as usual, and said hello to Lady Zhou without saying much.

The great eunuch Liu Jin sang clearly, "There is a book, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”

Today's court meeting officially began.

Lu Ruoqing is now accustomed to it, adjusting ink, laying paper, and recording, everything is in an orderly manner.

A minister with a serious face came out and said: "Your Majesty, the continuous heavy rain has not stopped today, and many floods have been caused in the suburbs of Beijing, and thousands of acres of fertile land have been submerged. Seeing that it will soon be the season to raise green seedlings, this rain will fall like this, and if the flood is not solved, it will delay this year's spring planting. ”

As soon as this recital came out, all the ministers began to discuss it.

"yes, it's going to be spring planting soon."

"Let's solve the flood first, I heard that many villagers' houses have been flooded and displaced."

"Hey, it's all about it."

The competition in Lu Ruoqing's hand stopped suddenly.

---- she remembered!

At this time in the previous life, there was also a continuous heavy rain, which not only caused floods, affected spring planting, but also caused a plague to occur in the capital inexplicably.

The plague came so vigorously that not only the people were infected, but also many of the dignitaries and people in the palace were infected.

made the capital a lamentation.

If I'm not mistaken, the plague began to break out not long after the rain.

Regarding this plague, when she was in prison later, she carefully discussed and analyzed it with her master Xue Wen. If you can prescribe the right medicine for everyone at the beginning, you should not be wanton in the future, causing countless deaths and injuries.

So in this life, can she change this situation?

To deal with this plague, it is necessary to blindly buy quite special medicinal materials, which must be purchased in large quantities from Jinzhou.

So, what should she do?

Ran directly to tell the emperor that there would be a plague in the capital soon, and the emperor would definitely think that she had lost her mind and gone crazy.

Suddenly, Lu Ruoqing thought of another person and would believe what she said.

---- that is Xiao Shaoxuan, who is also reborn.

Even if Xiao Shaoxuan was in Mobei back then, but the plague in Beijing caused countless deaths and injuries, he would definitely have heard about it, so her words would be convincing.

The idea in Lu Ruoqing's heart gradually took shape.

After waiting for the court, she returned to her residence and said to Ti Ying, "You try to inform His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince that he will visit me in the palace with my brother at the end of the month, and I have something to discuss with him." ”

Ti Ying looked unhappy and asked, "What are you doing?" Isn't it good to be an honest former female official? What are you going to do with His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes? You don't have to worry about Your Highness, you have to worry about being talked about by others. ”

Lu Ruoqing said solemnly: "Serious business, 100,000 urgent." ”

Ti Ying snorted, "Who knows you? I can't cut open your heart and look at it. ”

Lu Ruoqing's face suddenly sank, "Ti Ying! Do you think I'm like that kind of boring person? Could it be that I went to great lengths to call His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes to see me, just to be coquettish? Or in front of my brother? ”

Ti Ying's heart suddenly became empty, "You ......, is there really something important?" ”

Lu Ruoqing said: "It's a matter of human life. ”

Ti Ying nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't say much to her anymore.

Instead, she thought about it carefully, and in person she and her master Xue asked to discuss this plague, and what other medicinal materials were needed for the agreed recipe? Where can I quickly purchase all the goods? And where did the money come from to buy medicinal herbs?

These are all problems.

After deciding it, Lu Ruoqing first handed over the 50,000 taels of silver tickets to Ti Ying.

She solemnly ordered, "You don't have to hand over these silver tickets to His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince, but arrange for someone to buy me these few medicinal materials, the more the better, the sooner the better!" ”

Ti Ying was startled, "Are you crazy? Buy 50,000 taels of silver for medicine? Eat it as a meal. ”

Lu Ruoqing said: "Don't worry about it, I'm naturally useful." ”

She thought about it, if the plague had been controlled from the beginning, there should not be too many people who would be infected, and the use of medicinal materials would be limited.

And she first swindled 30,000 taels of silver from Yun Taijun, and later swindled 30,000 taels of silver from Helan Hao, and gave out 50,000 taels of silver, leaving only 10,000 taels of silver.

After all, it is inconvenient to walk in the palace without silver.

And Xiao Shaoxuan's money, she is not his rightful wife, she has no right to ask for it, and besides, she doesn't want to owe Xiao Shaoxuan too much, so she should spend her own money.

Lu Ruoqing couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

She had defrauded the 60,000 taels of silver before, otherwise, she would have no money to buy medicinal herbs.

A few days later, it was time for the relatives to meet at the end of the month.

Lu Ruoqing went over early and waited.

Lu Mubai arrived with Xiao Shaoxuan.

He looked at his sister embarrassedly, "I was halfway there, and I suddenly met His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and he came over together." ”

Lu Ruoqing replied: "Brother, I want to say a few words to His Highness." ”

Lu Mubai was stunned, looked at his sister, and then looked at the tall Xiao Shaoxuan next to him, with a thoughtful expression.

But according to the rules, it is inconvenient for Lu Ruoqing to talk to Xiao Shaoxuan alone.

So they went to the living room together.

Lu Ruoqing asked her brother to sit down next to her.

She didn't talk nonsense, and said to Xiao Shaoxuan: "Recently, the floods in the suburbs of Beijing have been serious, and after a long time, in addition to the flooding and destruction of Liangtian villages, it is also very likely to cause plagues. ”

Xiao Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment, "Plague? ”

For a moment, he hadn't remembered anything from his previous life.

After all, he was in Mobei at that time, and he didn't personally experience the plague in the capital, but only heard about it.

Lu Ruoqing couldn't say anything about her previous life in front of her brother, so she could only hint: "When you were in Mobei, you didn't hear about the plague caused by continuous heavy rains?" ”
