Chapter 240: Disaster Relief
"Really."
Mo Shi looked at her with a curious and expectant look, and his heart was distressed and helpless.
"But you can't play with this snow, you know?"
"I know." Shen Youqiu nodded, "I'll just look through the window."
She was born with a fear of cold and easily got sick, so even if she wanted to go for a lap in the snow, she would definitely not be able to go, at most she would see the snow in the house.
"That's right." She thought of something, and suddenly said, "With such a big snowfall, can't our shop be opened?"
"If it goes on like this, it won't be able to open."
Mo shook his head helplessly, "Many shops on the street are closed, but fortunately, I bought a lot of firewood and clothes before, otherwise, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to endure these days."
"Mother is prescient." Shen Youqiu drank the hot soup and held her hand and said coquettishly.
"However, it's snowing too early in this capital, it's still autumn at this time, why is it snowing so much?"
"Who knows?" Mo Shi shook his head, "I asked the two mothers-in-law in the family, and they said that there had never been heavy snow so early in the capital before, and this time the heavy snow, I am afraid that it will be a natural disaster, if the snow continues to fall like this, I am afraid that many people will die."
Speaking of which, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little heavy.
"Anyway, let's take care of ourselves first." Shen Youqiu leaned on her shoulder and whispered, "My only wish is to hope that our family can be safe and reunited, and I don't want anything else."
"Me too." Mo Shi pinched her face and smiled gently: "Mother hopes that you can be safe and healthy for the rest of your life, and when is the best time to cure your congenital disease, that is, let your mother die, and my mother is willing."
"Don't say it!"
Shen Youqiu covered Mo's mouth.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
The two laughed for a while, and Mo went out to prepare lunch.
There was hot chicken soup for lunch, looking at this big pot of chicken soup, Shen Youqiu glanced at Shen Mingyue, sure enough, his face was radiant, he looked very good, and he was wearing very little.
Seeing that he was not afraid of the cold at all, and then seeing that he was wrapped like a dumpling all over his body, Shen Youqiu couldn't help but purse his mouth, not to mention how envious he was.
When will she be able to be like everyone else, and not have to wear as much in winter?
After eating, Shen Mingyue felt a little hot, so she went straight out of the door, standing in the snow and staring at the snow blankly, as if she was thinking about something.
Shen Youqiu looked at him through the window, envious, and felt that this was like a particularly beautiful painting.
How did this guy look so good?
Fortunately, I already like Qi Jingxing, otherwise, maybe on the day I first met, I would probably be attracted to this guy.
No, it should be unlikely, this guy looks a little too tender.
Thinking about it, she thought it was funny herself, and laughed out loud.
Just as Shen Mingyue looked back at her, and saw that she was wrapped like a bear, she couldn't help but smile deliberately.
"Laugh at it!"
Shen Youqiu rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and secretly muttered in his heart.
I wouldn't have bought you chickens if I knew about it, so I would have made you angry with me.
When she was secretly poking and getting angry, suddenly the door was pushed open, and Shen Mingyue walked in, without saying anything, and suddenly took her hand.
Before Shen Youqiu could react to this guy's strange behavior, he was suddenly shocked by the touch on his hand.
"Why are your hands so hot?"
She remembered clearly that every time she accidentally touched Shen Mingyue's skin before, it must have been cold, and it felt like a living person at all, but today's hand was not like a living person.
"I used internal force." Shen Mingyue said, "Don't you want to go out and see the snow? I can temporarily protect your body meridians with my inner inside, so that you are not invaded by the cold, what, do you want to go out?
?」
"Of course!"
"Can you really keep Qiu'er from getting sick?" Mo asked worriedly.
"Mother believes me, I can still do this."
"Mother, let me go." Shen Youqiu looked at Mo Shi pitifully, "This is something I've been thinking about for a long time."
"Okay, let's go."
So, the two went out holding hands.
As soon as he left the house, the goose-featherlike snow fell, falling on Shen Youqiu's hands, shoulders, and head, the light and cold feeling, as well as the pure white and flawless transparency, made Shen Youqiu couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
"It's so beautiful!"
She couldn't help but hold a snowflake, watching the snowflake slowly melt in the palm of her hand, and her heart felt like something had melted.
At this time, a cold wind blew, but she didn't feel that cold.
Looking up, countless snowflakes were falling one after another, on the eaves, on the ground, on the firewood, everywhere was a white expanse, she stared at it for a long time, and her heart was indescribably happy and relaxed.
After so many years, her wish has finally come true.
At this time, a very serious and heavy atmosphere was permeating the court.
"Your Majesty, now that this heavy snow has come suddenly, many crops in the crop fields have been frozen to death, I am afraid that the year of the catastrophe is coming, and we must prepare in advance!" A minister spoke heavily.
At this time, another person hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has urgent matters to report, this morning the minister just received the news, a few counties hundreds of miles away had begun to snow heavily the night before yesterday, the heavy snow flooded the heavens and the earth, crushed many rural houses, and many people have been frozen to death, this matter must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, I don't know how many people will freeze to death this year!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this heavy snow came suddenly, and I don't know how long it will continue to fall, according to the old minister, not only must we start preparing now, but the imperial court must send people to rescue the disaster, otherwise I am afraid that many people will not be able to survive this winter!"
Many ministers said with heavy expressions.
And on the throne, the emperor had a headache.
"I know what you said, in order to avoid famine in the future, measures must be implemented now, rice and flour grain will be controlled from today, in addition, grain merchants are absolutely not allowed to increase prices now, and if they find a price increase, they will directly ask them to cut it."
As he spoke, he covered his head, his face showed pain, and then he said, "You will sort out the policy and send it to the imperial study, and in addition, the disaster relief cannot be delayed."
He groaned, looking down, and after a while, his gaze locked on a person, and then he raised his hand, pointed at the person, and said slowly, "Qi Jingxing, you will lead the team in this disaster relief!"
