stormy clouds

Chapter 143
On August 28, Mrs. Cheng Anbo sent Lian Zhen to the Marquis of Changping.

Chang Luoyun looked at her no differently from the last time they met. If they hadn't known in advance, no one would have been able to tell that she was sick.

"Sister, I will leave Lianzhen to you." Mrs. Cheng Anbo said reluctantly, "If Jing Yi comes back, I still need to ask him to help enlighten me, maybe it will be all right."

"Lianzhen is not as serious as you said. Tell me to see, I really can't see anything, so don't worry about it."

"It's nothing to look at on weekdays, but I can't say anything about Jing Yi." Mrs. Cheng Anbo glanced at Chang Luoyun, "If she finds out that Jing Yi has married a bride, maybe there will be trouble again."

Madam Mu sighed, "I see."

Mrs. Cheng'an gave a few more instructions before going back.

Chang Luoyun smiled and said: "Mother, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I will send Lian Zhen to Qingcui Pavilion."

Mrs. Mu has a leg problem these days, and she really can't walk more, so she nodded and said: "That's good, you are about the same age, maybe you can play together."

Chang Luoyun got up with a smile and went to the yard to call Lian Zhen.

Lianzhen was sitting on the swing in Mrs. Mu's yard accompanied by her maid Hongyu, when she saw Chang Luoyun approaching, she giggled and said, "Look, look, how Yunying in front of brother Jingyi has changed."

Chang Luoyun didn't speak, just walked over with a smile, "Sister Lianzhen, it's very windy here, I'll take you to Qingcui Pavilion."

"Aren't you Yunying? Who are you, and you dare to take care of me." Lian Zhen raised her eyebrows and pointed at her, "I'll tell my aunt that she doesn't want anyone to be put into the Hou's mansion."

Chang Luoyun smiled lightly and said: "If you come to my house as a guest, I can naturally manage you."

"Your home?" Lian Zhen looked at Chang Luoyun blankly, "Isn't this Brother Jingyi's home? How did it become your home?"

Her face changed abruptly, she got up and hid behind the swing in a panic, "Hongyu, tell her to go quickly, I don't want to see her."

Hongyu anxiously went to help her, "Miss, ma'am."

Lian Zhen covered her ears with her hands and screamed terribly.

"Madam, Madam, I beg you not to come here, our girl can't be stimulated anymore." Hongyu squatted down to support Lianzhen, begging with red eyes.

"You really don't know what to do," Bi Yan said angrily, "Our wife didn't do anything, how could you be so afraid?"

"Biyan, don't talk about it." Chang Luoyun interrupted her: "You take Miss Lianzhen to Qingcui Pavilion first, and I will go to see her later."

Lian Zhen gradually calmed down under Hong Yu's comfort, Bi Yan was a little angry, "Let's go, I'll take you to Qingcui Pavilion."

Lian Zhen shrunk her body, was supported by Hong Yu and followed behind Bi Yan, when she crossed Chang Luoyun, her fingers bent slightly, and then let go.

When they were far away, Qing Luo said: "Miss Lianzhen looks fine, but she is ill when she is ill."

"Sometimes it is more convenient for sick people to do things than normal people." Chang Luoyun said lightly.

Qing Luo stared at Lian Zhen's back thoughtfully, amidst the flowers and trees, that distant back was delicate and delicate, more and more pitiful.

In order not to irritate Lianzhen, Chang Luoyun arranged for her three meals a day to be delivered to her room.

Although it is said that there is one more person in the Hou's mansion, in the huge Hou's mansion, it seems that there is no one more person.

It was already late when Mu Jingyi came back, after dinner, Mrs. Mu urged them to go back to their room to rest.

Back in the house, Chang Luoyun took Mu Jingyi's changed clothes, and brought him home-made clothes to change into again,

"Lian Zhen came over today and lives in Qingcui Pavilion, do you want to go and see her?" Chang Luoyun asked with a smile.

"Mother and you are here, what should I go to see her for?" Mu Jingyi sat down leisurely, "Did you make some herbal tea for me today?"

The weather in autumn was dry, Chang Luoyun would make herbal tea to keep warm for him every day.

Chang Luoyun poured a cup of tea from the pot and handed it to him, "Lian Zhen fell ill as soon as she saw me today, I think it's okay to ask Miracle Doctor Xu to come over and show her."

"Yu Lun can cure physical ailments, but it can't cure mental ailments." Mu Jingyi picked up a book, "Her ailment is a heart ailment, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I don't worry about it," Chang Luoyun smiled and picked up the embroidery stretcher beside him and began to embroider against the lamp, "Today, mother handed over the cards and ledgers of the Houfu to me, and I am too busy with my own affairs. Have the energy to take care of that much.”

She lowered her head and concentrated on embroidery, and she looked more and more demure under the lamp.

Mu Jingyi looked at her for a while, put down the scroll, got up and took the embroidery frame in her hand and put it on the table, "Yun'er, embroidery hurts the eyes the most. You can embroider during the day, but don't embroider at night."

Chang Luoyun smiled and got up and took off the glass cover, and brightened the candle, "Bi Yan put two more lights in the room, such bright lights, no problem.

Besides, Mingxiufang has just started, and I'm in Lindu again, so I want to think about a few more sets of stitches, so that Mama Wu and Sujin can relax. "

"It's not that I don't want you to do it, but I want you to stop it." Mu Jingyi took her hand, which was soft and soft, but there were thin calluses on the pads of the fingers.

"I know, this will be idle, and I will always find something to pass the time."

Mu Jingyi was silent, and said: "I wrote a booklet to let the people of Qi State grow beans to replenish the grain depot."

"Is the emperor ready?"

Mu Jingyi's eyes flickered, he let go of Chang Luoyun's hand, took a sip of herbal tea, and said lightly: "Everyone is discussing this today, and more than half of the ministers think it is unnecessary.

It is said that if we rush to plant grain and beans now, it will not be conducive to the planting of sericulture in the coming year. "

Most of the mulberry trees in Qi State are planted in fertile fields. If they want to rush to grow grain and beans, the mulberry trees will inevitably be insufficient.

"I don't understand, don't these people need to eat?" Mu Jingyi's voice was a little higher, "I don't need to say anything else. Could it be that they don't see the prosperity of the refugees in Lindu because the people don't have enough to eat? meal."

Chang Luoyun said, "Ministers are high above, and what they are arguing about is the important affairs of the court. Even if there are a few people born in poverty, I'm afraid they have long forgotten the days when they couldn't eat enough. Miserable and helpless."

"Why don't you eat minced meat?" Mu Jingyi snorted coldly, "As long as it's winter, if there is no food relief, the city will be in chaos."

Chang Luoyun looked at him with bright eyes, "None of the ministers in the court dare to tell the truth?"

Mu Jingyi's voice became low, "In the current situation, even if you tell the truth, it's better to be wise and protect yourself."

Chang Luoyun's soft hands suddenly covered Mu Jingyi's. The woman's hands were as soft as bones, but they had the power to comfort people's hearts, "Master Hou, no matter what decision you make, I will stand by your side." .”

Mu Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared in his eyes, and he asked softly, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but since the day I entered the Marquis' Mansion, I've been prepared to advance and retreat with the Marquis' Mansion, so I'm not afraid anymore." Chang Luoyun's bright eyes contained firmness.

There is not a single woman who is courageous in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Mu Jingyi sighed leisurely, held Chang Luoyun with his backhand and said, "Don't worry, if something really happens, I will definitely protect you and mother first."
