Chapter 125 Attention
Mu Jingyi and Chang Luoyun's wedding was scheduled for the eighth day of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just a few days after the wedding, so it happened to be a happy family reunion.

Seeing that the dust of her son's marriage had settled, Mrs. Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Cheng Anbo has lost her temper since she came here last time, and she hasn't visited the door again.But this is also good, to avoid the embarrassment of the two meeting each other.

Mrs. Mu began to draw up a list of betrothal gifts. Although the Chang family was not a wealthy family, Jing Yi was not only the only son of the Mu family, but also the Marquis of Changping. His marriage could not be sloppy.

Mrs. Mu asked Yuncai to go through the previous engagement lists of Marquis Changping, copy a copy according to the old list, and make additions and deletions according to the current situation.

This busy work took half a month.

At the beginning of July, news came from the palace that Grand Concubine Yi had passed away.

The king of Anjun was so sad that he rushed to Lindu overnight to attend the funeral.

The distance was far away, and the wedding was approaching, so Chang Luoyun couldn't go to mourn in person, so he sent a message to ask Mother Zhou to visit the princess and send a funeral.

Chang Luoyun went to the post station to deliver the letter and came back. As soon as he walked outside the courtyard of Mingxiufang, he saw several children throwing things at a four or five year old girl.

The girl stood in the middle and didn't fight back. Although she was crying sadly, she was pretty and cute.

Chang Luoyun's heart moved slightly, and he walked over.

Seeing someone approaching, the children around the girl scattered and ran away with a coaxing sound, leaving only the girl standing there wiping tears.

Chang Luoyun squatted down, and plucked a dead leaf from the little girl's head, "Little sister, where is your mother, have you gotten separated?"

Although the little girl was sobbing non-stop, she still remained dignified, "Lady, our village was hit by a disaster. My aunt took me and my brother to Qingzhou to escape. When I saw an embroidery workshop here, she threw me here and said it was Let's see if I can find someone with good intentions to take me in and give me a way to survive."

Chang Luoyun patted her head, and asked after a moment of silence: "What's your name?"

"My name is Chuyu." The little girl stopped sobbing and opened her black and white eyes. "Auntie said, if someone takes me in and gives me a new name, I can't be called Chuyu."

Qian Hong and Wu Ma heard the movement at the door and had already come out of the embroidery workshop. Seeing this scene, they sighed endlessly.

Qian Hong couldn't bear it and said: "What a good child, how can you be willing to lose it like this?"

Chang Luoyun smiled and held Chu Yu's hand, "Then sister asks you, does Yu'er like the name Chu Yu?"

Chu Yu nodded vigorously, "My aunt gave me this name, of course I like it."

"Then you will be called Chu Yu from now on, you don't need to change your name." She smiled and handed Chu Yu into Qian Hong's hands, "You will follow this aunt from now on, be obedient, and be filial to her when you grow up."

Chu Yu suppressed her sobs and nodded childishly, "Please don't worry, sister, Yu'er will remember."

Qian Hong looked excited, "Miss Si, you really let me raise this child."

"Among these people, you are the most careful and like children. It is her blessing that Yu'er follows you." Chang Luoyun looked at her with a smile.

At the beginning, Chang Luoyun promised Pei Cheng that if he could tell the origin of the poison, he would pay the fine for him and avoid the pain of prison.

Although Pei Cheng came out, Qian Hong resolutely refused to go with him. It happened that there was a shortage of people in Mingxiufang, so Chang Luoyun asked her to help in Mingxiufang.

Although Qi State does not restrict women from remarrying, Qian Hong is discouraged from remarrying.If she can have a child to accompany her, it will also give her some comfort in the future.

"What? You don't want to?" Chang Luoyun joked seeing her unbelievable expression.

"I am willing, I am willing," Qian Hong said incoherently with joy, her eyes were shining brightly, and she held Chu Yu's little hand, "Yu'er, are you hungry? If you want to eat, aunt will make it for you."

Mama Wu said lovingly, "Although this child is unfortunate, he is blessed to have such an encounter."

Chang Luoyun smiled, "Qianhong likes children, this is also their fate, Mama Wu, have there been more and more refugees in the market during this time?"

"That's not true," Wu Ma said with a worried look on her face, "The area around the vegetable market is full of refugees, if this continues, there will be chaos."

"King An Jun went to Lindu for the funeral and will not be able to return until early August at the earliest.

"Mother Wu, go and ask Shunzi to invite Uncle Yanqing over here." Chang Luoyun said.

Later, Wang Yanqing went directly to the courtyard of Zhuxi Lane to look for Chang Luoyun.

July was the hottest time in Qingzhou, Chang Luoyun asked Biyan to bring sour plum water to Wang Yanqing.

"Uncle Yanqing, I know you don't like sweets, but this sour plum juice is different from ordinary sour plum juice. You should try it soon." Chang Luoyun rolled up his sleeves and personally served the sour plum juice in front of Wang Yanqing.

Wang Yanqing took it with a smile, "Yun'er, you didn't cook this sour plum water yourself, did you?"

"Not in person, but I told them the recipe." Chang Luoyun watched Wang Yanqing take a sip of sour plum soup with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Yanqing, is it good?"

"Well, it's really different, sweet but not greasy, very refreshing."

"This is the frosting I brought back from Lindu, and it was specially made by Master Shenglou."

"No wonder." Wang Yanqing drank the sour plum water, "Shenglou only produces high-quality goods, so when I go to Lindu this time, I must go to satisfy my hunger."

Chang Luoyun picked up the sour plum soup in front of him and took a sip without saying a word.

Wang Yanqing only thought she was shy, smiled and didn't ask too many questions.

"Uncle Yanqing, what's the price of grain in Qingzhou these days?" Chang Luoyun asked suddenly.

"Did Yun'er notice it too?" Wang Yanqing asked.

"Today, some refugees threw their children in front of the embroidery workshop. If it weren't for the hard life, who would abandon their children."

Wang Yanqing's face was gloomy, "In the early years, the common people saw that the price of silk was good, so they planted mulberry trees in the good land, raised silkworms and reeled silk, and obtained profits.

This year, there was a severe drought in many places in Qi State. The only farmland was affected and there was no food. Many people became refugees and came to Qingzhou.

In addition to Qingzhou, the number of refugees in the Lindu area has also increased. "

"But Migui in Qingzhou, do the common people have a way to survive here?" Chang Luoyun asked worriedly.

"It's because people always want to find a way to survive, and when they are forced to have no other way, they can't care about anything."

Wang Yanqing's eyes became deeper and deeper under the dim light, "I received a letter from Lord Hou a few days ago, telling me to pay attention to your safety.

Yun'er, you will be married to Lord Hou in one month. If you arrive at the Hou Mansion, even if the world is really in chaos, you will have shelter. "

Chang Luoyun said indifferently: "Uncle Yanqing, sort out the accounts in the pawnshop tomorrow. Those pawned things that can be exchanged for silver can be exchanged for silver. If they can't be exchanged for silver, see if they can be exchanged for some food."

Wang Yanqing nodded, "That's a solution, but now the price of rice is still rising, and we don't lack food. What does Yun'er need so much food?"

"I just think that if something happens, there are so many of us, we always have to fill our stomachs."

Chang Luoyun said, "If you have food in your hand, don't panic. Counting the three meals a day, you will need a lot of food."
