Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 93 Missing the Sheriff

Zhong Yang's eyesight is indeed extraordinary. That day in Qianxiang Tower, after Pei Ying saw clearly that it was him, he quickly closed the door. He never thought that he would remember everything in that hurry.

"Are they my younger siblings? She is a girl. How come she appears in a place like Qianxiang Tower?"

"Brother Zhong, I see you have only had a few drinks, so why are you talking nonsense? You have said it yourself, my wife is a girl, and since she is a girl, why does she go to a brothel? Is it like a man to have a romantic and happy life? ?”

Listening to Wei Shao's analysis, Zhong Yang also felt that it made sense.

"There are many people with similar looks in the world. I think you miss my wife's cooking skills, so you mistake others for her."

After Wei Shao said this, Zhong Yang also suspected that he had made a mistake. After all, he was only in a hurry, and many things were difficult to determine.

"Then you are right. Last time we were at your house, my brothers and sisters made the dough and that for us."

"Meat in steamed buns."

"Yes, my sister-in-law said we can call it Roujiamo. It's this Roujiamo. It really makes me think about it day and night. When can I eat it again?"

"When we come back from the disaster relief work in Henan County, would you like to invite you to our house to eat meat on steamed buns?"

Zhong Yang patted Wei Shao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wei, it has to be you, the refreshing one."

Seeing that Xiao Shen was almost busy, Wei Shao picked up a bowl of water and walked over and handed it to Xiao Shen.

"How is it?"

"We can set off tomorrow."

"Okay, how is your father's side?"

"It doesn't matter if you ignore me if you're angry. It will take about two months to go out for disaster relief. By the time I return to Chang'an, my father's anger will be almost gone."

"it is good."

Wei Shao has always been close to Xiao Shen. In fact, he doesn't understand why Xiao Shen doesn't want to get married, but these topics are rarely discussed among men, and Xiao Shen won't take the initiative to bring them up, and Wei Shao can't say much.

Before leaving Chang'an, Wei Shao visited the palace once and told his cousin Deng Zhao to visit his mother and concubine if he was free. Wei Shao could always accompany his mother and concubine when he was not out to open the palace. Since he opened the palace, he has been accompanying his mother and concubine. The concubine's time is getting less and less, and now that his cousin is in the palace, he can feel a lot more relieved.

Before leaving Beijing, Wei Yuan gave his personal token to Wei Shao. This token can command all officials in the county. Wei Yuan told him that after entering Henan County, he should control the political situation in the county as soon as possible and control the next steps. Disaster relief matters only help.

When everything was ready, Wei Yuan personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to see him off outside the city gate.

This trip was not for a march, so Pei Ying specially brought Yunrou with her. After several days of training, Yunrou was still not proficient in controlling horses, so she could only follow the team.

"Yunrou, get on my horse and I'll take you."

"No, madam, your equestrian skills are not superb. If you bring one more person with you, what should you do if something goes wrong?"

"Then you can't let her keep walking."

"Bai Zheng."

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Let Yunrou get on your horse and you take her."

Upon hearing Wei Shao's order, Bai Zheng thought his ears had heard it wrong.

Seeing that he didn't act, Wei Shao asked, "What? You don't want to?"

"No, no."

Wei Shao's arrangement, let alone Bai Zheng, Pei Ying is not very understanding, but there seems to be no better way at present.

Since his equestrian skills were not superb, it was impossible for Wei Shao to teach Yun Rou how to ride a horse, and Xiao Shen looked unfeminine, so it seemed that this matter could only be left to Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng jumped off the horse. Yunrou was a little embarrassed. Pei Ying pushed her gently before she stepped forward. Yunrou hesitated for a moment, then stepped on the pedals and mounted the horse. The horse shook its head, and Yunrou was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the bracelet on the saddle.

"Bai Zheng, mount your horse."

Seeing that Bai Zheng was still hesitating, Wei Shao assisted.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This was the first time that Bai Zheng was so close to a woman. Yunrou's bun brushed his face from time to time, teasing his heartstrings, and her faint body fragrance. Bai Zheng straightened his body and forced himself Don't think wildly.

Wei Shao had already caught sight of such a scene from the corner of his eyes. He only glanced at it before retracting his gaze and continued on his way.

Every summer, during heavy rains, the Yellow River always faces a flood season. This year's heavy rains are more frequent than in previous years. After each heavy rain, the water level of the Yellow River soared, and several small-scale embankments burst.

But this time, three consecutive days of heavy rain turned the fertile fields along the Yellow River into a vast ocean. After passing through the capital of Luoyang, what they saw and heard along the way made everyone feel sad.

After Wei Shao and his party arrived in Henan County, they went straight to the county governor's mansion, but the door of the huge county governor's mansion was closed during the day. Bai Zheng knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded.

"Bai Zheng, go and ask the people where the county guard is?"

"promise."

This is the first time they have encountered the situation before them. Several people are waiting at the door. The food and silver delivered by the court are shipped in two batches. Now they have to transport the first batch to the county governor's house and work with the Henan county governor. Discuss next disaster relief matters.

Zhan Rao saw many strangers and a large group of carriages and horses appearing at the door of her house. She hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to step forward.

"Who are you looking for?"

With this crisp sound, everyone turned around and saw a girl about sixteen years old in front of them. She was fair-skinned, but very thin. The bun on the back of her head was a little loose, and her face was stained with mud.

"We are looking for Zhan Xun, the governor of Henan County. May I ask who the girl is?"

"Are you officials sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief?"

Wei Shao nodded and said, "Exactly."

"I am Zhan Rao, the daughter of the county governor. My father is on the bank of the Yellow River. Since you are here, sir, please go to the mansion first."

Zhan Rao is generous and generous, and his words and actions are very decent.

Wei Shao and others followed Zhan Rao into the governor's house.

"All the men in the family followed my father to the Yellow River. The disaster was serious. I went to deliver food to everyone."

Not long after, many maidservants came back to the house. Zhan Rao first settled Wei Shao and others, and then went out to arrange things for the afternoon.

Pei Ying watched her busy in and out, arranging things in an orderly manner, with admiration for this girl in her eyes.

"Master Zhan's daughter is not very old, but she is very capable. She has the demeanor of a matron at a young age."

After a stick of incense, Zhan Rao came back again.

"Sir, my father is not in the house, so I arrange everything in the house. I am responsible for providing food for everyone. I am inevitably a little busy, so I apologize for my poor hospitality to you."

Wei Shao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just don't know when Master Zhan will return home?"

"Since the floods in the Yellow River, my father has not been back to his hometown. He eats and lives with the people."

After hearing what she said, Wei Shao said: "In that case, let's ask the girl to lead the way. I want to meet Mr. Zhan first."

"it is good."
