237. Song Jing's past

However, Zhu Neng was interested and talked to Song Jing about himself and women.

Zhu Neng described the feeling between him and the woman of Chengguo Mansion, which was summed up by Cheng Yuan in one sentence: holding the hand of the main room, touching the right hand with his left hand. Holding the hand of the new concubine, it seems to be back to fifteen or sixteen, holding the hand of the person you like, and the water of the Yangtze River is going backwards.

Zhu Neng was amused by Cheng Yuan's generalization, but Zhu Gaochi fell asleep tiredly, and the guards were there to protect.

"Actually, Song Jing, you don't have to be surprised." Zhu Neng began to interject again: "Your Majesty and the Empress Niangniang value the prince of Zhen Guogong very much. ”

"Chengguo is a serious man, and His Majesty treats you well."

Zhu Neng next to him smiled and said, "Song Jing, follow Zhen Guogong, you are blessed." ”

Thinking of the fact that Song Jing had just thrown all the silver on his body to a little red, Cheng Yuan said: "Song Jing, why did you just give a little red to all the silver?" She delivered meals in accordance with government regulations. ”

With just one sentence, Song Jing's tall and burly body shook, as if sluggish.

Cheng Yuan sensed Song Jing's abnormality and said, "Song Jing, sit down, just now I and Cheng Guogong are just curious." ”

"Yes, Grandpa Guo."

Of course, Song Jing didn't dare to hide the two princes.

"Xiaguan's ancestral home is Huazhou, when I was young, my father was literate and comfortable, and I was sent to study by my father.

My father died when I was nine years old, and this year, because of my poor family, I had to go to Qinfu to work, and it was here that I met the love of my life.

Her name is Qin Shuwan, and she is the same age as me, but she is the eldest lady of the Qin family, and I am just an ordinary poor boy.

The days went on like this, until one day my husband asked me to recite Wang Wei's poems, and she happened to come over and ask me what poems I could write, and I was so nervous that I bit my tongue.

She smiled and said that I am a little Xiucai, and said that she likes Wang Wei's sentence that red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. ”

Cheng Yuan and Zhu Neng originally fed mosquitoes and wanted to shoot them to death directly, but Song Jing's intoxicated narration made them ignore the taste of being bitten by mosquitoes.

"Then I got acquainted with her, and sometimes when I got out of school to help her family, she would bring me a bowl of porridge, until one time, she gave me a packet of red beans, saying that they were rare in the north.

She gave it to me, and we were getting older, and the Qin family didn't allow her to associate with me, and later I was kicked out by the Qin family.

Every day when I got out of school, she would stand in the backyard of the Qin family and look at me, and then leave immediately, and I vowed to take the test to make a name for myself and marry her. ”

The more Song Jing spoke, the more choked he became.

Cheng Yuan said: "Later." ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "Go on." ”

Everyone passed the time in a quiet ravine, listening to stories.

"Later, the Qin family knew about us, so they found a family for her, that person was a gentleman, but the family was powerful and wealthy, and on the day she got married, she gave me a bag of red beans.

Because of this, I gave up my fame and became a small scribe in the county government, and three years later, her husband's family fell into many debts.

She sold her to the person who opened the Qinglou, and she once asked someone to persuade me to take a good test for fame and gave me a sum of money, but I never continued to test for fame.

In the fourth year, the old Qinglou sold them all to the boss in Jiangnan, and took them south the next day. I have a mother at home, so I can't travel far.

I had nothing to do to study this mountainous area, thinking about how to go to Jiangnan in the shortest possible time without having to climb the mountains.

But later, this idea turned into a way out of the mountain for the people, but it was only a shallow study, and it was very difficult to do.

Fang saw that little red, remembered Miss Qin, and took out the silver for her. ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Song Jing, so you think you can chisel through the mountain?" So time-saving and effort-saving. ”

Song Jing nodded.

Isn't this the idea of the tunnel in the future, Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "After Huazhou is rebuilt, you will go back to the capital with me, and I will help you inquire when the time comes."

Since you love each other, it's a pity that you missed out because of a few taels of broken silver. ”

"Yes, thank you Zhenguogong." Song Jing immediately knelt down and kowtowed gratefully.

"Don't kneel, get up." Cheng Yuan Dao.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng."

Zhu Gaochi in the back gnawed on the dried sweet potatoes, trying not to make a sound, but he still said, "The ground has moved." ”

"The ground moved?" Cheng Yuan turned around.

"Well, the ground is moving slightly."

"Then I'll arrange for the guards to take a look." Cheng Yuan Dao.

Zhu Gaochi said to go by himself.

When Cheng Yuan heard this, he felt that he was going to explode on the spot, such a dangerous place, and he was asked to come to comfort Zhu Di.

However, how can you run around with such danger.

If you are buried once, you have to remember it for a long time.

If something goes wrong, how can I explain to Zhu Laosi and Queen Xu.

However, Zhu Gaochi said that Zhu Neng and Cheng Yuan needed to rest and went over to command the guards.

But after seeing the nervous guards and Li Gan not far away, he sighed and said, "Chengguo Gong, Zhen Guogong, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

"We are not afraid of the earth moving, but Your Highness, you are so disturbed, I am afraid." Cheng Yuan said seriously.

Zhu Neng also nodded.

Zhu Gaochi said: "I need to temper. ”

Yes, Zhu Di's meaning is a bit of refining Zhu Gaochi, but more because Zhu Di believes in Zhu Neng and Cheng Yuan.

Zhu Neng motioned for the guards to come over and protect Zhu Gaochi.

"Your Highness, it's better for you to sit here than anything else."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Sir, you are my teacher, why can Kuang Yu and them go to the depths of the ruins of Huazhou, but I can't." ”

"Your Highness, because you are the prince." Cheng Yuan said seriously: "Your Majesty agreed to the prince because he trusted me and Cheng Guogong, so he ......."

"Therefore, the minister cannot live up to His Majesty's trust." Zhu Neng replied truthfully.

Zhu Gaochi is not Zhu Gaochu's reckless nature, but he is anxious about this ground movement and cannot get the assistance of the imperial court for a while.

In the next few days, Kuang Yu and his team brought medicinal herbs from other prefectures and counties, and the water level of the river on the ground was slowly dropping.

However, because the upstream is a ground subsidence area, some corpses have polluted the water source after rotting, so Yang Xianzhi organized people to carry spring water in the mountains.

Just when everyone was anxious because of food, Song Jing provided another very important news.

The location of the cellar where the county government transported and stored grain at that time was found, but it was covered by rocks and tiles and needed to be cleaned up.

Cheng Yuan took out a piece of baked cake from his arms and handed it to Song Jingdao: "Eat it." ”

"Grandpa Guo, I just came here, and I heard that a few children are sick, and they are still contagious." Song Jing lowered his voice and said: "You still have to pay attention, but there are a few people in Huazhou who know the place where the government stores grain." ”

"Find the grain first, so that we can distribute it evenly to the people, and immediately organize people and horses, and we will walk to the middle of Huazhou."

The hunger had spread, and as for the sick children, Cheng Yuan knew that they had drunk the water from the well without being persuaded to do so.

That water is long gone.

But these people don't listen, and no matter how you call them, they are still thirsty and can't steal the well water, and then they start to have diarrhea and fever.

In fact, not only Huazhou, but also all nearby counties ran out of water and food because of the ground movement, so Cheng Yuan decided to find the grain of Huazhou Yamen first for emergency relief.
