Hearing that his second brother had a situation, Cuihua didn't bother to check how much the crops in the village had lost to the locusts this year. Busy urging Heiwa to investigate, this suspected heroine of the peach blossom scheme.

A few days later, Zhao Leiting sent Cuihua the results of the investigation.

Hearing Zhao Leiting say this, Cuihua could only sigh: The capital is really small! You can meet acquaintances everywhere.

This heroine You Shi is not the one they met in Biluo Lake on the Shangsi Festival, the niece of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!

Well, she's still a widow, only 22 years old.

The hometown of the Ministry of Rites is Jiangnan, when his sister got married, he was just in the middle of the move, and his sister married a small landlord in Jiangnan, and later this brother-in-law funded him to enter Beijing to take the Jinshi.

He also got his sister's help, and when he heard that his niece was newly widowed, he was also sent to the capital, thinking that he could give her a good family affair for her, so as to repay his sister for her kindness back then.

At this year's Spring Banquet, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites took You Shi to participate in several times, but unfortunately, this kind of woman who has been married for many years and has returned home after half a year is not in good market.

I thought that my uncle was a member of the first grade, and he was popular in the capital, but he didn't expect his family affairs to be so unsmooth.

One time in midsummer, when he went out of the city to burn incense, the horse that pulled them in a carriage got out of control on the official road, and I thought that the horse would have to be pulled into a ditch for them, and they would be seriously injured if they were not disabled.

Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, a young man grabbed the horse alive, you can imagine that this strong man's body is not ordinary strong and powerful!

The man before You was a scholar, his health was not good, she had only been married for a few years, and she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, this short-lived ghost, how many decoctions and supplements he ate, he lay on the bed for two years and then died.

Therefore, when I met this kind of strong man who can control the crazy horse, You Shi, who has no good feelings for weak readers, is brightened.

Hu Erniu, although he has been busy on the construction site this year, his whole body is not bad, and there is no mother-in-law and an old lady to worry about.

A man who is well-dressed, powerful, and has a clean face, looking at his twenties, is not You's dream lover?

It's a pity that after inquiring about the identity of her benefactor, she was stunned, her eyes were too good.

Mrs. Zhongqinbo's second brother is still a reconciled person, if time can be turned back, how good it would be if there was no Shangsi Festival.

I also know that I can't expect that my sister can forget about it, and I want to give up, but I'm not reconciled.

procrastinated, and also sent food to Hu Erniu a few times, wanting to establish a good impression from a man first.

Cuihua was a little entangled, although she had a bad impression of this You Shi, but the choice was ultimately in the hands of her second brother.

She didn't hide it, she asked people to bring a letter to Hu Erniu, called him to Bofu, and then told him what happened to Shangsijie, and let him make his own choice.

Hu Erniu scratched his head and made a bitter face: "Sister, forget it, she hasn't told me for so long, what is the origin, hearing you say this, my heart is cold, this woman is really fickle."

"Second brother, it's not that people are fickle, but that they are used to what kind of things they say to people of what class, believe it or not, she wants to see your sister and me again, and she has to rush to ask for tricks, this is their way of survival!"

"Then our Hu family doesn't have such a person, we are also a slightly richer peasant family!"

"Forget it, I'd better find someone who is close to our family, there are too many eyes, your second brother can't afford it!"

"Second brother, don't worry, you should pay attention to this kind of thing in the future, it's better if it's not a trap designed by others, if someone deliberately asks you to be a hero to save the beauty, you won't be able to get rid of it!"

"Ah! I'm scared of what you said, and I'm going to go in and out with my eldest brother in the future!"

Cuihua didn't use the examples that Heiwa encountered, and she could make up ten different ones casually by touching porcelain and fairy jumping, which scared an honest man.

The brother and sister didn't dare to let the Zhang family know about this, and it was better to have more than less.

This year for the whole of Great Summer

Two-thirds of the crops have been destroyed by locusts, and now it is too late to replant, and there is not enough food for a year.

I am also afraid that the grain merchants will collectively raise the price of grain and make the people suffer.

Wei Shangshu, a dry old man, is even drier, seeing that the new sea ship of Jiangnan Shipyard is about to become famous, and he can't cut off the investment here.

The construction of this river embankment is also a top priority, but two-thirds of the people have no food to eat this year.

In the end, the discussion of the imperial court still had to mobilize the government to reserve grain, but when the little emperor was in power, the army that was transferred to the north was followed by the reserve of grain.

From the first year of Tianshun to the second year of Tianshun, the imperial court continued to distribute relief grain to the severely affected areas, which were also reserve grains over the years.

Old man Wei wanted to hug Xia Hongdi's thigh and cry: The landlord's family doesn't have much surplus food!

When there is something in the court, Xia Hongdi is always used to talking to Zhongqinbo, if there are no good ideas, bad water can always be squeezed out.

Looking at the bitter Wei Shangshu and the emperor who had expectations for him, Heiwa swallowed her saliva: "Your Majesty, the one with the most food must be in the Shangjia's family, shall we, or, let the merchants donate some of it?"

Old man Wei was puzzled: "How much can this donate?" Those big businessmen are very slippery!"

"Hehe, Wei Shangshu, you can't always stare at those big businessmen and wool, medium businessmen, small businessmen, these can't be left behind!"

"That's even harder, these people, don't you want their lives to let them pay for food!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks so, now in the imperial court's policy towards merchants, the imperial examination is the most restrictive, and many of the children of merchants, some of whom are studying, have to find ways to engage in crooked ways.

So what if we give some businessmen some places for the imperial examination?

For example, we advocate this time: the reserve is abundant, and we are willing to donate a certain number of merchants to the imperial court, and give the children of the family lineage, and the corresponding number of imperial examination places!

I think there should be someone who responds positively!

In addition to donations, the imperial court can also fund purchases, doesn't our navy have a boat?

You can go to some nearby countries, one is familiar with the sea routes, and the other is to buy or exchange, such as silk, porcelain and other foreign food, there is also one more choice, isn't it?"

"This exchange of silk and porcelain for food, I think it's good! We can also see how far our ships can go!"

Didn't this go to Xia Hongdi's heart? I can't let his brother-in-law stay on Shield Fish Island for pure military training.

The rest of the specific countermeasures, Wei Shangshu's total scheduling ability can be controlled, sometimes, what is missing is a direction, and a person like Heiwa, who has been baptized by various information in later generations, has an idea that is not a clear way.

The full moon banquet of the five princes in the summer, a big banquet was held in the palace.

After a month of careful care, the little prince spent it safely, and the baby, who was just over three pounds after birth, will grow to five pounds a month later.

Empress Gao deliberately let Cuihua hug the fifth prince, and said to her with a smile: "En'er was born safely because of your great kindness, so you should treat him as a godson in the future!"

Cuihua smiled hesitantly: "That courtier has earned it, this is a golden lump!"

"This palace hopes that there will be one more person to love him, so that he can grow up in peace!"

"With your love, the little prince will definitely grow into a healthy, beautiful man!"

"Then the main palace will have no worries."

After the full moon of the five princes, Xia Hongdi announced the punishment of Concubine Xian: enter the cold palace and never see each other again in this life.

This should be the most cruel punishment for the concubines, they will not see the sky for the rest of their lives, and there is no possibility of getting out of the cold palace.

The ten-year-old second prince Xia An and the eight-year-old Princess Fangyi, after knowing what their mother had done, did not dare to plead with their father, and Empress Gao, the mother-in-law, treated them sincerely.

When they were in the palace of the king of Shu, their food and clothing were no worse than those of the prince, and they also allowed Xia An to go to his foreign school to study.

Before Concubine Xian went to the cold palace, she smiled bitterly

Female Says:

"The mother concubine was blindfolded by jealousy, and was used as a knife messenger, you two are good, don't make trouble, the queen mother should not do anything to you, hehe, the mother concubine is in the end, and what she relies on is actually the character of the queen mother, hehe"

Princess Fangyi cried breathlessly, the cold palace would not allow them to come to visit often, she would not be able to see her mother in the future, and the motherless child was bullied!

The Cining Palace of the Holy Empress Dowager has long been sealed by the Praetorian Guards, except for a wedding grandmother, the palace people inside have long been gone.

The Holy Empress Dowager lay on the bed and asked Mama, "Is everything arranged?"

"Niangniang, it has been arranged, all the shadows have been evacuated, the old slave has handed over the master token to the little master, and after the old slave accompanies you, they will be dormant."

"Hmph, did you tell Wan'er? After the mourning family leaves, it will be her beginning!"

"I've already explained, the little lady is a smart person, she hasn't gone wrong in the past few years since she entered the palace, in the past few years, you have been cold to her, who can not see that she has fallen out of favor with you?"

"Well, without the drag of the mourning family, the king will have no worries!"

At the end of the month, the torrential rain did not stop, and on a downpoury night, the Holy Empress Dowager collapsed.

On the day of the death of the Holy Empress Dowager, Xia Hongdi recruited the ministers into the palace and read out the last edict of the Empress Dowager.

According to the usual practice, the death of the queen mother needs to be suspended for three months, and the emperor needs to keep filial piety for his mother for three years.

However, the Holy Empress Dowager is sympathetic to her old people, the locust plague, and the people are suffering, and she hopes that the funeral will be simple:

Stop the spirit for three days, the emperor and queen take the month with the year, and keep filial piety for three months.

The ministers all shouted: The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!

Heiwa and Cuihua need to enter the palace to cry and mourn, and they must not fall for three days, and they see their parents entering the palace in white every day, and their eyes are still red when they return home.

A few children stopped playing, and Xiao Liu cautiously asked, "Mother, which ancestor is gone?"

"Well, it's the prince's brother's grandmother who is gone!"

"Oh, it's good that Xiaoliu's grandmother is still here, but I'm lucky!"

Alas, I didn't expect that the step-grandmother of the Ma family still has a certain status in Xiaoliu's heart, on weekdays, it is rare for the Ma family to hug them, only the old Yuan Tou is rare for them.

"Mother, do people die when they get old?" Xiao Wu experienced death for the first time, he didn't like this feeling very much, the adults were sad, didn't they see her mother's eyes crying and swollen.

Cuihua: Ginger juice is too domineering, how many ladies don't use this prop, they can cry when they can cry?

"Well, people die when they get old, but it will take decades from young to old!"

"Mother, don't be old!"

"Mother, you don't die!"

"Ouch, mother's precious son, mother strives to live longer!"

Holding the two small stoves, Cuihua's heart softened, and she thanked God again for making them reborn and having such a few precious eggs.

Warmth only lasts a few seconds:

"Mother, it's so hot!"

"Mother, don't hug it!"

Cuihua: Hmph! Men are little pig's trotters when they are young! When you grow up, it's a big pig's trotter!
