Chapter 540: Finding Out the News
"It's not a big secret, right?" Qingzhu hesitated.
"Anyway, Gege is not going to the main courtyard to ask for peace now, let's let the people in the courtyard keep their mouths shut and hide Gege. Gege also knew that Lord Belle had been busy lately, so he wouldn't ask if he couldn't see it. Maybe Lord Belle will be back in two days. This will let Gege know, but it is just a vain worry. "Wu has a way of wealth.
"What Gonggong Wu said is. When Lord Belle comes back safely, let's talk to Gege again. Now that Gege is recovering from her injuries, why should she be worried? "Seedlings said.
"Ask Mama Luo what she means." Qingzhu thought for a moment. She also felt that what Wu Youcai said made sense. But the affairs of Yile Yuan are now managed by Mama Luo. If you want to really hide this from Mao Tongtong, you still have to tell Mama Luo.
So a few people took advantage of Mao Tongtong's afternoon nap to discuss with Mama Luo.
"It's better to keep it a secret." Mama Luo nodded and said, "If there is no news in five days, I will talk about it." ”
With the unity of the minions, Mao Tongtong didn't know anything about the news that the eighth master was sealed outside the city. She just thought that the eighth master was too busy and kept resting in the front yard. Originally, she also planned to go to the front yard halfway. The eighth master had said before that there was still time to accompany her for a meal.
As a result, Wu Youcai said that the eighth master had not returned home for the past two days, so she dispelled this idea.
"What is Lord Belle busy with like this? Have you heard? Mao Tongtong asked.
"The disaster in Henan caused many displaced people to flee to the outskirts of Beijing. I heard that the imperial court is now thinking about resettlement! That's probably what Lord Belle is busy with. Wu Youcai pondered.
"Drought?" Mao Tongtong couldn't help but ask.
"yes. I heard that there hasn't been a drop of rain for more than a month. The ground is cracked. "Wu has a way of wealth.
"Isn't it confiscated this year?" Mao Tongtong said.
"Not really! That's why so many people escaped. "Wu has a way of wealth.
Mao Tongtong shook his head, this kind of natural disaster is the most fatal. Nowadays, weather predictions are not as accurate as in later generations, and it is difficult to prevent them in advance. You can only think of a deal after something happens. Moreover, the current communication is not developed, and it often takes ten days and half a month for a thing to happen, and if it waits for the will to continue, the best time will be missed long ago.
"We're lucky to be in the capital." Mao Tongtong sighed.
It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. With the big Buddha Kangxi living in the capital, no matter what, it will ensure the stability of the capital. Even if it is affected by the disaster, the supply of the capital will not be less.
Wu Youcai exchanged glances, smiled and echoed a few sentences, and didn't say much. If Mao Tongtong knew that everyone outside was in danger now, she was afraid that she would not be able to say this.
The Eighth Master's Mansion was calm on the surface, but the minions were also all kinds of speculation and uneasiness in private. Guo Luoluo punished the two who chewed the root of the tongue, which was better.
On the Siye Mansion next door, Sifujin sealed the mansion after returning from Wulanala Mansion. Except for the minions who were purchased, who entered and exited at a fixed time every day, everyone else was not allowed to enter or leave. Without the spread of those rumors outside, the house has maintained stability.
Five days later, the lockdown has not been lifted. The fourth and eighth masters have not yet returned. Guo Luo Luo was a little unable to sit still.
"Mama, I want to go to the palace. Concubine Hui's news is always better-informed. ”
Mama Lei is not calm this time. The longer the eighth master stays outside the city, the greater the chance of getting sick. Now if I don't inquire about the news, I really don't feel sure.
"It's okay for Fu Jin to ask."
"Or what if I go to visit the crown princess? The prince's news should be the most well-informed. Guo Luo Luo said again.
"The crown princess?" Mama Lei hesitated, "Fujin and the crown princess don't have much friendship. ”
"It's a concubine, she won't turn me away." Guo Luo Luo said. In my impression, the crown princess is a gentle woman. Although there were not many opportunities for the two to deal with each other, she thought that the crown princess could tell her some news for the sake of their concubine.
"Then Fu Jin is going to visit Concubine Hui Niangniang first, and then visit the crown princess?" Mama Lei said.
"Let's visit the crown princess first. If she has any news there, I won't ask Concubine Hui. Guo Luo Luo said.
After deciding on it, Guo Luo Luo entered the palace with pomegranates and hibiscus. But what she didn't expect was that she was not the only visitor in Yuqing Palace.
"Yo, the eighth brother and sister are rare guests!" The crown princess was sitting at the head of Sanfujin, and she laughed when she saw Guo Luo Luo coming in.
"I've seen the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law." Guo Luo Luo didn't look at Sanfujin, and directly saluted the crown princess.
"Come and sit." The crown princess smiled kindly.
Guo Luo Luo sat opposite Sanfujin.
"The eighth brother and sister have rarely entered the palace in the past six months, but there is something wrong today?" The crown princess asked.
"I'm an anxious person, so I won't go around in circles with my second sister-in-law. I came today to ask my second sister-in-law if she knew some news. Our grandfather has been out of town for a few days, and I don't know when I will be able to return? Guo Luo Luo said.
The eighth brother and sister are very strange to ask. The second sister-in-law stays in the palace all day, how can she know what is going on outside the palace. It stands to reason that we have more news outside the palace. "Sanfujin took the lead.
Guo Luo Luo has always been at odds with her, and when he first came in, he didn't like the tone of Sanfujin's speech. Before the princess could speak, she rushed to answer, and she had a tone of teaching that she shouldn't have asked, which made people really upsetting to listen.
"Is the third sister-in-law in such a hurry to speak because she knows any news?" Guo Luo Luo looked at Sanfujin with a smile.
Everyone knows that because the third master has not been reused over the years, Sanfujin is also a little unable to raise his head among the concubines. But her prickly speech was not much better. This time, the third master and the seventh master went out to Beijing on a business trip together, which had some meaning to be enabled, and Sanfujin couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Guo Luo Luo is not a loser in the first place, where can he bear the face of Sanfujin, and he can't help but stab two sentences immediately.
"I only care about our master. As for the eighth brother's, I don't know. "Sanfu Jin Road.
"In that case, then please ask the third sister-in-law to say a few words. I'm talking to my second sister-in-law, isn't it good for you to interject in the middle? Guo Luo Luo sneered.
Sanfujin's face sank, and just as he was about to speak again, the crown princess spoke, "The master is running errands outside, and it has made us suffer these women who guard the back house every day." The news is closed, and I am still worried all day long. It's not easy, you guys. In the past, when the prince went out of Beijing on an errand, I was just like you, so I wanted to find out more information, so I could feel more at ease. ”
"It's good that the second sister-in-law understands. I can't help it. It's been five days since the lockdown, and I don't know when it's going to be a head. Guo Luo Luo showed a sad face.
