Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Honeymoon of Poverty
The prince looked at the princess's eyes, as if he had seen a rare treasure. It's like a child who wants to get close to something he loves, but doesn't know what to do. I want to hold it in the palm of my hand, worried that the temperature of my palm will make her uncomfortable, and I want to hold it in my mouth, afraid that she will feel restricted. When I look at her and smile every day, I feel that the mountains and rivers are sunny and everything is lovely.
Why can't he see where the princess of the mountain is cute, the little peach who is obviously a clever commentator, how innocent, cute and lively, playful and a little calm. He is dignified and gifted with a knife and a product to guard, why is he willing to catch a car every time he travels, because he can be closer to the little peach.
"Princess, urgent letter from Caozhou."
Zhao Xibao put down the soup spoon of dry rice, opened the letter and looked at ten lines, the expression of the original hippie smiling face converged a little, and his brows were tightly locked.
Chu Qinzhi was not in a hurry, put a bowl of pigeon soup that had just been presented, and blew it gently, the temperature was just right, suitable for drinking now.
Zhao Xibao put down the letter and sighed.
"Yesterday, Dongzhou sent a letter, saying that it was a large amount of silver and could not be recovered."
"Today's letter from Caozhou, Changyun Inn is closed, Baoshun Restaurant can't make ends meet all day long, and is ready to close temporarily."
Chu Qinzhi fed the soup spoon to Zhao Xibao's mouth, "It's a big thing, eat first." When you are full, discuss countermeasures. ”
Zhao Xibao had been thinking about the content of the letter, and unconsciously obediently followed King Ning's hand, drank a bowl of soup, and was fed half a pigeon.
King Ning completely treated her as a child. Zhao Xibao was about to pat his little belly and say that he was full. King Ning was ready to take down the meal.
King Ning wiped his slender fingers and glanced at Zhao Xibao, "You don't have to rush to prepare to go out, pack your things, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”
Zhao Xibao looked at Chu Qinzhi with a puzzled expression, he was really accurate.
How did he know that he was going out.
King Ning wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth, "There has been no rain in Caozhou for nine consecutive months. The weather is dry, people are difficult to survive, how can there be money, and the guest house is in a restaurant. ”
Zhao Xibao pondered: "I'm worried about the situation there, so I'd better go over in person and do what I can." ”
Chu Qinzhi took her hand and went to the courtyard for a walk to eat. "In recent years, taxes have been abundant and the treasury has been abundant. Brother Wang has already allocated a large amount of disaster relief money to Jiaodong. The grain official warehouse near the state town has also been opened and will be transported to the disaster area in the near future. ”
Zhao Xibao nodded, "The country is safe and secure, the country has money in its hands, and it has enough confidence to fight disasters." Well, that's the importance of small money, keep working hard to make money. ”
Zhao Xibao still sighed, "Lord Wang, listen to your analysis, Caozhou doesn't have to be nervous." Right now, the problems in the Eastern State need to be solved urgently. ”
Zhao Xibao became excited as he spoke, "The people of Dongzhou dare to owe me money." I'm afraid I don't know, my ability to collect debts. ”
Chu Qinzhi laughed in a low voice, "Well, the little overlord is full, go out for a walk with me." ”
Autumn is strong, and the ginkgo trees in Ningwang's Mansion are covered with golden fallen leaves, which complement each other with the autumn glow. Zhao Xibao looked back at the person who always looked at him gently.
In the palace, no matter how much trouble she makes, she has never seen the prince's indifferent face, and she is very lenient with the servants in her courtyard.
Obviously, he didn't have much contact with the prince, but he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and he couldn't help but want to get close to him.
I heard that he is meticulous in his office, wise and cold, and majestic, which makes people dare not approach.
Especially when she returned from the dynasty two days ago, after seeing her with ice and snow between her eyebrows, she gradually thawed.
She was here with him, feeling the preciousness of being held in the palm of her hand. He gave her a full sense of security.
She didn't dare to deliver her sincerity easily, she once thought that her childhood sweetheart would be able to go in and out of pairs with other women when she turned around, and she was in love. More than ten years of affection went down the drain.
She is lazy and stupid, how can she be worthy of him, worthy of his such love.
Besides, he also has a girl with a sharp heart. He treats her gently, maybe he is well-cultivated, or he may live up to his father's and brother's entrustment.
She was a little afraid, afraid that one day, when he didn't love her, when he was tired of her, all the tenderness and love would be withdrawn. At that time, what should she do, who was used to being taken care of gently.
She didn't dare to give herself up completely, she didn't want to try the night and night cone again.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xibao quietly broke away from Chu Qinzhi's hand.
Chu Qinzhi felt her resistance and smiled bitterly, he came too late. He should have been with her sooner. Not to let her go through such pain. She used to grin and smile freely, but now she is like a frightened bird, afraid of the approach of others.
If he had been a little braver, the situation between them would not have been completely different. Perhaps, the child can be led away.
It's not too late now, at least she's still by his side, Chu Qinzhi told himself to take his time, and use his heart to tell her her about her status in his heart.
Chu Qin took a step forward, wrapped his arms around Zhao Xibao's waist, and led her to sit on the swing.
Zhao Xibao touched the swing, which was almost exactly the same as the one in her yard. She sat on the swing, as if she had returned to the small courtyard of her home.
Chu Qinzhi walked around behind her and held the swing rope: "Lady, do you want to stand on the swing and try it?" ”
Zhao Xibao nodded, "Okay ( ́∀')♡"
Chu Qinzhi pushed lightly, and Zhao Xibao screamed, still a little scared, but when he opened his eyes, he could see the panorama of the palace.
Introverted atmosphere, elegant and quiet, just like him.
It's a pity to find such a noisy lady as her. I don't know how Chu Qinzhi endured himself.
Chu Qinzhi saw Zhao Xibao on the swing and smiled happily, his heart was also warm, and he hoped to make his Bao'er smile happily every day.
The fall of the leaves of the ginkgo tree is accompanied by the autumn breeze. Zhao Xibao blew the wind for a while, and was taken away by Chu Qinzhi.
Back in the room, open the homemade small cloth bag, and put on the life-saving pills necessary for travel, seals, etc.
Zhao Xibao patted the swollen cloth bag: "Peach, in addition to daily necessities such as food and drink, remember to install candles in your luggage." Do you remember, the last time we stayed in a broken house in the middle of nowhere, you said you were willing to exchange a month's worth of silver for a candle. ”
Little Peach shook the tea canister and said triumphantly: "Princess, I know, the past is unbearable." This time, bring your favorite Da Hong Pao tea, delicate pocket chess pieces, and folding chessboard. lest you nagging me along the way. ”
Zhao Xibao smiled, thought about it, and his tone was a little low: "Peaches, bring a little more Chinese medicine, the place I went to this time is a little special, hey, I hope I don't need it." ”
Chu Qinzhi looked through his bags and smiled slightly: "Most of the traditional Chinese medicines such as ripe mugwort, rhubarb, miscanthus salt, and licorice have the effect of removing filth and killing insects. ”
Reminiscing about the past, travel thousands of miles lightly, and the water mail mountain post does not care about the journey.
In the past, the most important thing was to be light and comfortable, and it was simple. This time, prepare for the worst and bring all the spices and utensils you need to cook the food.
"Princess, I'll bring the horn comb for you. Combing your hair more every day can dredge your blood and strengthen your body. ”
Zhao Xibao looked at Chu Qinzhi who was sitting on the stepping bed, "Lord Wang, you are being tested, why do you have to comb often?" ”
Wang Ye Ning held the scroll in one hand and half leaned on the head of the bed. The candlelight lined with an elegant smile: "Sui Chao Yuanfang's "Theory of the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases, Health Prescription", haircut on the ctenophore, desire too much, flow blood, disperse rheumatism, number of easy to crow, more use. Ma'am, am I right? ”
Zhao Xibao pulled the sleeve of the little peach, "Peach, you lose, hand over the silver." ”
Little Peach pouted with a fleshy face and said, "Hmph, Miss, you know how to bully me." He muttered in a low voice: "The prince even knows the woman's boudoir dressing." Think about why. Hum. ”
Zhao Xibao doesn't need to mention it, but he also knows, of course, it is the Ruyi of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, although he has never met, I heard that he looks like a beautiful country.
Xibao Xibao is the treasure of the Zhao family, the grass of the prince's family.
Zhao Xibao looked back at the person leaning on the collapse again.
Zhilan Yushu is elegant and noble. does have the ability to be suave, if you talk about the first to come, you are the one who intervenes.
Zhao Xibao covered his face, a good lady in the main room, why did he become a junior.
The autumn wind blows, and the depression is endless. Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Xibao was drowsy, nodding his head and dozing off, like a chicken pecking rice.
Chu Qinzhi took the fox fur blanket, gently hugged her, and put her head flat on her lap to let her sleep more comfortably.
"Phew, lord, someone fainted on the side of the road ahead." The carriage stopped suddenly, and Zhao Xibao woke up. Confused, looks cute and cute.
"Let's go down and see what's going on."
"Well, Lord Wang, what's the matter?" Zhao Xibao rubbed her eyes, Chu Qinzhi helped her, straightened her forehead hair that was messy from sleep, and said softly: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
"Report to the prince, there is an important situation that requires you to move out of the car." Xicheng's solemn tone woke up most of Zhao Xibao's sleepiness.
Zhao Xibao lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car first, and gasped when he saw the person fainting on the side of the road.
He was so thin that he was only skinny and bone, his eyes were sunken, his fingers were thin and long, his abdomen was swollen, and his palms were tightly clutched with a handful of soil.
Chu Qin took a step forward to cover Zhao Xibao's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't look at it." ”
Zhao Xibao shook his head, pulled his hand away, and took a few steps forward. She squatted down and looked at it, sure enough, it was Guanyin soil, eating it can make people feel full, but it will also be difficult to digest, and in the end, she can only watch people die of abdominal pain.
In the sixth year of Chengen, there was a great drought in the capital, and she was only nine years old at that time.
I didn't expect to see it again after many years.
No, among the drought-stricken areas this time, Caozhou is the worst, followed by Ruzhou, Fancheng and other places. The disaster situation in Upper East State is manageable.
What's more, according to the calculation of the itinerary, the official food for disaster relief should also be allocated to Dongzhou earlier than Caozhou.
Why is there still the phenomenon of people eating Guanyin soil, the disaster in Dongzhou is far more serious than imagined.
Zhao Xibao was sad for a while, thinking that the world was too peaceful, and there would no longer be no rice to eat.
Chu Qinzhi's face had already condensed into frost, and since he could meet hungry people on the road, the situation ahead was unpredictable.
