Chapter 298 Something Happened
Two days later, Qi Jingxing did not come to see Shen Youqiu, and the city was as lively as ever, as if nothing had happened.
In the courtyard, Shen Youqiu sat on the edge of the fireplace, boiling the medicinal soup to ward off the cold on the stove, she looked at the situation of the medicinal soup, and at the same time took the surname of the hundred families, and taught Xiao Ruyue to read word by word.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good."
Xiao Ruyue read aloud: "At the beginning of man, nature is good."
"Sex is close, Xi is far away."
A soft voice followed: "Sex is similar, Xi is far away."
"Hey, yes, I'll teach you to write a stroke, and you can learn a stroke next to you, come, try."
"Okay—"
The voices of the two came to the courtyard along the crack in the window, Mo Shi listened to the voice, felt very satisfied and warm, and then looked at his hand, it had already changed from the previous thick and swollen carrot back to the previous slender finger, and since Shen Youqiu massaged her with the egg oil a few times, this finger sometimes automatically heats up, even if it is a cold day to wash cold things, the fingers will not feel cold, and there is no worry that the fingers will recur.
"Oh no!"
Suddenly there was a voice outside the door.
Shen Yuxin creaked and pushed the door in, holding a stick-like thing wrapped in cloth in his hand, and quickly closed the door after entering the door in a panic, and then hurriedly ran to Mo's side, his face was a little pale and said: "Something happened, I see that there is chaos on the street today, a lot of victims have broken into the capital, looting everywhere on the street, and even many shops have been burned, as long as it is a store that sells food and clothes, all of them have been robbed and smashed, and many people have been injured, but I don't know if there are any deaths, but the scene is terrible, I don't think it's right, I quickly closed the shop and ran back."

"It's not that the imperial court distributed cotton clothes and food, what, how can this still happen?"
"I don't know."
Shen Yuxin took a few breaths, and after relieving for a while, he hesitated: "However, on the way back in a panic, I met someone talking about it, but I heard some words, as if there was something wrong with these things issued by the imperial court...... Oh, by the way, it seems that something big happened last night, didn't the imperial court originally build a lot of shacks outside the city? These shacks were originally for the victims to live in, and they can be regarded as being able to block the wind and rain and help them survive this cold winter, and it is also convenient to distribute food and heat up collectively.
"What!"
Mo's face changed, "The shack has fallen, what happened to that person, what happened to that person, something happened?"
"Anyway, it seems that a lot of people have died."
Shen Yuxin sighed and shook his head, "Probably because of this incident, the victims outside the city made a fuss, and they took advantage of the guards' inattention, and all of them broke in at once and began to make a fuss in the streets."
"Forget it, let's just close the door."
He looked back at the door twice with palpitations, and made sure that the door was closed, and then said, "Let's stay at home for a few days and don't go anywhere, so do Qiu'er and Mingyue, don't go out, anyway, there are enough things at home to eat."
"Okay."
Mo nodded, his face was a little worried, "This natural disaster has been going on for so long, no matter how you look at it, there is a problem, is that shack so unstable?" I remember that last night's wind and snow were not too big, which is the normal kind, why was it blown down?"
"Be quiet."
Shen Yuxin put his finger to the side of his mouth and motioned for Mohs to speak quietly.
"I also heard them say that the grain issued by their court seems to be all dregs, and there is ash mixed with it, and there is something wrong with the clothes, anyway, it is not real cotton, and it cannot withstand the cold at all, I think this court has really lost its conscience, and it has not taken the victims into account at all, and has not spared the lives of the people at all, it is really, it is really - hey!"
He let out a long sigh.
"It's not so good at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and I see, it's not as good as our little place."
"This is not necessarily what the court did."
Mo shook his head, "It is estimated that those people below are greedy for everything, but we can't help these people because of the pity of these people."
"Don't worry about it, this is all the business that the Son of Heaven should take care of, and it has nothing to do with us little people."
The two of them whispered.
When Shen Youqiu heard the content of their conversation, his heart moved, and he handed the pen to Xiao Ruyue.
"You write first, and then my sister will come and see how you write."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door, frowned and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Something is wrong with the supplies for the victims?"
She obviously told Qi Jingxing about this matter the day before yesterday, and Qi Jingxing also said that she would deal with it, why did such a big thing happen, and it has been two days, and Qi Jingxing has not sent a single message, it shouldn't be that something happened.
Thinking of this, Shen Youqiu's heart couldn't help but sink, and his face was a little unsightly.
"Something went wrong."
Shen Yu nodded sincerely, "It must have been done by those corrupt officials in the court, but they are too bold, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they are so blatantly corrupt, and they don't put so many lives in their eyes, they are really, they are not worthy of being people!"
"Daddy, have you heard anything about Qi Jingxing?"
"Not really."
Shen Yuxin shook his head, suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Shouldn't it, shouldn't Qi Jingxing be corrupt too!"
"Nope!"
Shen Youqiu shook his head, "Don't think about it, it's just that he mentioned it to me, saying that he was also responsible for part of the defense work, and this time the city gate was lost, so many victims broke in, and he was afraid that he would also be punished."
"It's not going to be a big deal."
Hearing her say this, Mo Shi was also a little worried, "Speaking of which, Qi Jingxing hasn't eaten at my place for several days, even if he came over, he just glanced at you hurriedly, chatted with you a few words, and left in a hurry, isn't he a general?" Why are you still so busy every day?"
"He has to train the army every day, so he's quite busy."
Shen Youqiu nodded, and said a little absent-mindedly: "Besides, the current situation is not stable, as a general, he has to be ready to go to the battlefield all the time, maybe he will go to the battlefield when the spring begins."
"What!"
Mo's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "But, didn't you just say last time that he was about to get engaged to you?" If he goes to war soon, then what kind of marriage is he going to get married? I think it's better to forget it!"
