Chapter 47
When Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang arrived outside the city, they ordered people to quickly set up a shed to store food, and then asked the six sons to build a small shed next to it, where the two doctors from the prime minister's mansion and the doctor who was hired at a high price sat in it for consultation. .

"Go to the side after eating, you can see a doctor for free!" Lu Luo Hong Ye and Liu Zi said enthusiastically to the refugees.

Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang shared porridge, the prime minister's mansion took a lot of food today, saving some is enough for people to eat.

The skinny old man was very moved when he saw the white rice in the bowl, he knelt down in front of Shen Jingyuan with a plop, and cried bitterly: "Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!"

Shen Jingyuan quickly helped him up: "No need, go eat."

The old man nodded hurriedly, wiping away his tears.

Most of the porridge sheds in other people’s homes have clear soup and little water, and better soup and rice are mixed, but Shen Jingyuan’s side has more rice and less soup and can still see a doctor.

Looking at the long line in front of them, there are women holding small children in their arms, and some adults are carrying their grandmothers on their backs. They were not crowded and noisy, but they were grateful and carefully obeyed the order.

"Who is next to Miss Zhao's family? He looks so handsome!"

"It should be the young master of the Marquis of Weihai. I heard that the two adults intend to get married!"

"Nonsense, that's not what He Lianjing looks like. Look at that man's facial features and eyes, it seems that he has some blood from outside the border."

"Yeah, what you said is really similar!"

"However, Zhao Jinjin is so close to the outsider, it's really not self-respecting."

"That man's name is Li Shang. He is the prime minister's favorite student. I heard that he is very good at studying. He has a bright future. Maybe he is the prospective son-in-law that Prime Minister Zhao is looking for. You should stop chewing."

This kind of whispering went on for a whole day, Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang turned a deaf ear to it, they just concentrated on doing their own things, and it was dusk when the miscellaneous things were dealt with.

Seeing that most of the people were temporarily relieved of their hunger, and the sick patients had some medicine to hang their lives, the two were relieved.

They were the last to go back. Shen Jingyuan opened the curtain in the carriage and looked back. The dusk enveloped the capital. The refugees outside the city watched them leave under the setting sun. Everyone's faces were so simple and kind, but All of them lost their families due to the flood and were infected with resentment.

Today, doing good deeds every day is a bit scattered.

Long-term grievances will be unfavorable to the world. I hope that the previous court will negotiate a decision as soon as possible.

Shen Jingyuan was exhausted after returning to the chancellor's mansion, Hongye was very worried, stepped forward to rub her legs and shoulders, and Luluo brought a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.

This is what Shen Jingyuan usually likes to drink, but when she looked at the precious things in the bowl, she frowned and pushed them away: "Let's be frugal and vegetarian in the yard during this time."

What was usually mouth-watering became unappetizing.

Now that the flood has stopped, it depends on how the emperor Yunmin handles the follow-up.

The sixth day of June.

The emperor issued a water control order and sent ten outstanding water supervisors to the south to rescue the people and clear the flood. In addition, the state treasury released 100 million shi for grain and 600 million gold for disaster relief. As a supplement, it is bound to control the flood and plague, so as to reduce the casualties of the people in the world.

The seventh day of June.

General Qin's adopted son was ordered to lead [-] troops to escort the water supervisor all the way to the south. When seeing him off, the people of Kyoto knelt down to see him off, praying for the general of the Qin family to have a smooth journey and the water supervisor to eliminate the plague and floods in one fell swoop.

June tenth.

Li Shang, a student of the Zhao family, ranked first in the provincial examination of the imperial examination, and became the first Jie Yuan in the Chaochanghe period of Dayun. He won two yuan in succession, had good conduct, and gave porridge outside the city to help refugees every day. He was a first-class family in Kyoto. Many of the daughters were secretly inquiring, so many families are waiting for the results of the third round of the test. If Li Shang still ranks in the top ten, they plan to force the list to capture their son-in-law and marry him in the house.

June thirty.

Good news came from the south, the flood was under control, the relief food had been distributed, and the casualties had been reduced to a minimum. The water inspector led the refugees to clear the mouth of the reservoir, cleared the sunken ships and trees, and began to build dikes, and built protective banks along the river bank, completely controlling the flood. At that time, the imperial physicians guarded the places where the plague was rampant, burned everything that the patients came into contact with, and separated the severity of the disease into two categories for care and treatment. The wormwood repelled the mosquitoes and scattered the poison, and suppressed the spread of the disease as much as possible.

"It's great, the south is stable this time." He Lianjing took a sip of pear blossom wine and sighed, "It would be great if I could lead the troops there."

"There will always be a chance, why are you in a hurry?" Li Shang shook his head and smiled.

In the courtyard of the primary school, He Lianjing snapped off the willow branches beside him, and the blue and white hair band on the back of his head fluttered with the wind, quite high-spirited: "Siqing, men should make meritorious deeds, and shouldn't drink flower wine here."

Siqing is the name given to Li Shang by Mr. Shu. He Lianjing actually doesn't like it very much, because he always feels that this name is not like Erlang's name, but Li Shang likes it very much. Every time He Lianjing calls him When you are named, you should remind me: "Qingzhong, my name is Siqing."

"If you are less stubborn, maybe you can really go." Li Shang joked: "Isn't it enough that Fu Wenjin has been teased by you five or six times, what's the use of throwing him into the lotus lake to hide with me today? Mrs. Wei Haihou is afraid that she will send someone to the door to arrest you soon."

He Lianjing bared his teeth: "I'm not afraid, as long as the beast suffers, it's worth it."

Li Shang disagreed: "You haven't healed your injury for a few days, what are you doing now?"

He Lianjing threw the willow branch in his hand, grabbed the jug on the table and drank with his head up. After a while, he casually wiped the liquor from his mouth: "Siqing, I should deal with this kind of scum."

"Her mother has been entering the palace for the past few days. I heard that she ran away to the empress dowager. Everyone can understand her obvious intentions. Zhaohua has no father or mother. If the empress dowager is in charge of the marriage, I, and Is there room?"

He Lianjing looked at Li Shang seriously, with stunned firmness in his eyes.

"Today Zhaohua was called into the palace by the Queen Mother." He lowered his voice, "What should you do about me?"

Cining Palace.

Several nuns were in the hall, the maids knelt down and played fans, the eunuchs softly changed the food in the hall, the night pearl curtain worth thousands of dollars shook, the amber and jasper cups in the hall shone with light, and the musicians behind the bead curtain were playing Playing the Lingling guqin, she had been playing the qin for two hours non-stop at that time, her fingertips were bleeding and the pain was unbearable, she had to distract herself and glance at the person sleeping on the soft couch.

The woman on the soft couch was nearly forty, wearing a purple palace gown embroidered with large peonies, and densely packed with gold hairpins and jade buttons. Her fair hands were being painted with cardamom, and the silk and gold gauze on the gold pillar was covered with The wind lifted her beautiful face, confirming that she was asleep, the luthier relieved and stopped playing the music.

"Did Aijia tell you to stop?"
