green bamboo dream

I don't know what it is, and I don't know how the old lady dealt with it. Anyway, what happened that day was like a dream without trace, and it didn't cause any waves in the Cheng family. 【26nbsp;】

But after all, something happened. Yuzhu noticed Xie's uninterrupted heavy makeup in recent days, and noticed the increasingly forced smile on Ji's face, including Cheng Xunxun's entangled eyebrows when he came back at night... …all indicate that something, or certain things are moving forward with an unstoppable trend.

At the same time, it was accompanied by natural disasters. When the fourth batch of famous doctors recruited by the whole country were sent to the palace, an urgent memorial of eight hundred miles broke the superficial calm in Beijing.

——The flood in Yuzhou, the choke river that has been uneven since ancient times, diverted its course again, breaking the embankments of Liyang and Songjun.Pan Yongyu, enter Guiyang, Gaibei, Jingyang, Guan three counties and 23 counties, flooded more than 19 hectares of land, more than two feet deep, and more than [-] ruined houses...

When the news came, the capital was shaken. Such a big disaster was rare in ancient times. When the reaction came, the disaster relief was about to start. The Ministry of Households immediately began to cry for poverty. I dare not say that the treasury was emptied by the emperor tossing the canal. Anyway, the Minister of the Ministry of Households saw it Close, looking like he wants money but not desperately, he gritted his teeth and said he has no money, what he likes.

If there is no money, the Ministry of Industry is just a decoration, leading to ditches, weirs and canals, whichever does not require money, and things can only be discussed if there is no way out.In a few days, it won't work, and the urgent memorial was sent in again, saying that the continuous heavy rain caused two embankments to collapse, the houses were completely collapsed, countless people were drowned, and the prices were so high that the opening of the storehouse for relief has arrived. There is no food left, and there is no food for relief. Thousands of people have starved to death. There has been a tragic situation of changing children to eat... Now the people are full of complaints, and the victims of the disaster are full of complaints. Migration, I can't even make decorations, I am in a hurry everywhere, and I urgently need all the support of the court...

When it comes to the sensitive word of public grievances, all the adults who still have time to fight have solemn faces, stopped arguing about unnutritious topics, and began to seriously look for countermeasures.

The emperor has been unable to go to court for a long time, and he is "recovering from illness" in the palace every day. It is said that Concubine Shu is weak, and she fell ill all of a sudden if she couldn't bear such a blow. Only Concubine An with the highest status is qualified to serve the imperial court and personally Serving medicine and feeding food has won unanimous praise from the front and the harem.

So in the early court, there was a more distinct camp than before, taunting and sarcasm, with sharp tongues, agitating three-inch tongues, and threatening to bring down the opponent.

Over the years, the fourth prince has lost some weight, but he has also become much calmer, and has a faint imperial majesty derived from the nobleman's demeanor in the past. The style of a prince who supervises the country.

The fifth prince's benevolent and virtuous name is outside, and he smiled to express his point of view, "The bandits are also my people, and they are in trouble. How can we not be sympathetic and embracing? I should caress him, if he can correct the evil and return to the right, That is to say, they are recognized as good citizens, honored and protected, and received as a whole."

Afterwards, one party expressed that it was due to the benevolence of the house and the blessing of the common people... it was almost the fate of the family.

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows and remained calm. When his father succeeded to the throne, he relied on benevolence to win the hearts of the people, but at what time did "troubled times" produce not only heroes, but also villains... It is said that the success of every emperor cannot be copied...

Lin Yuanzhi, who was standing beside him, nodded lightly. Lin Yuanzhi understood, and immediately took a step forward and said with a smile: "What the fifth prince said is true, but I don't know that after the flood disaster, the land rent will be halved, and the national treasury is still empty. , I wonder if the fifth prince has a countermeasure?"

"Taxes in rich places can be increased by [-]% for the time being, presumably the people will not care about doing some practical things for the court; in addition, this prince will take the lead in practicing frugality, reducing daily expenses, and the capital will prosper. As long as we work together, the money saved will definitely be able to Slow down the previous situation, and all problems will be solved after the new tax comes up." The fifth prince knows that now is a good opportunity to show his talents, but there is really no better way to do this kind of thing. Trapped in a dead end, his vitality was severely injured, and he could not recover without decades of recuperation.He can only borrow the idiomatic method recorded in the history books, no one can find fault, and... He looked at the silent fourth prince meaningfully, with a slight curl of his mouth - to say it before the fourth child, this is the only way , Whoever speaks fast is the credit.

The elders also stroked their grizzled but sleek beards and nodded. This method is more appropriate. No one said anything when they aimed at the four princes, so they all agreed. The matter of Yuzhou really cannot be delayed. Immediately, a solution was decided, and the funds in the palace were moved, and then the treasury was scraped, and some money was collected to buy rice and send it to the disaster area.Along with the rice, there is also appeasement from the imperial court-it takes time to prepare, you should eat this rice first, the most important thing is to survive, you must wait until the imperial court comes to rescue you.

Before the fifth prince returned to the mansion, the fifth prince concubine who got the news ordered someone to go to the rice shop to buy high-profile rice with silver. Originally, it was enough to choose three big shops, but the stewards of the fifth prince's mansion who went out to purchase were divided into more than a dozen groups. I bought all the rice shops in the capital, and even went to the south of the city where the common people lived to buy more than a dozen bags of rice—it was half a city away from the imperial palace.

The Shi family also heard the news, and was not to be outdone. The following families followed suit to show their loyalty and patriotism.All of a sudden, the price of rice in Beijing and China skyrocketed, and in the end they had to make emergency food adjustments from the outer city, so that no riots were caused.

The people in Beijing all complained that when the emperor was ill, all kinds of disasters would wreak havoc on the world. The world is really bad.The people in the affluent Yangzhou area are also complaining, the fifth prince is really not a good person, why should he propose to increase our taxes here, after finally saving some money to buy a beautiful maid, now it is for nothing, continue to go home To that tigress...

In two days, I don’t know where such a saying came from, and it gradually began to spread among the people-this is the cloud that the Dragon King uses to rain down and lead people out of this place. disaster...

……

Cheng Xunxun has also suffered a lot in the past few days. People in the capital are fluctuating, and a storm of rice grabbing breaks out every now and then. The city patrol team has changed from the first team to the third team, so that they can maintain the superficial calm.Not to mention other unavoidable training, inspections, arrests, trials... and all kinds of troubles behind the scenes.Every night, Yuzhu would wait and wait with the quilt alone, and fell asleep on the pillow. When she woke up the next morning, she was wrapped tightly in the thin quilt, and sometimes she was in a daze in the middle of the night. I can still feel the thick and warm chest around me... Every morning when Mother Ruan came to help Yuzhu to wash and wash, she always sighed: "Mr. How many hours do you sleep in a day..."

Yu Zhu thought about it too, I heard that it was common for this guy not to return home for a month, and after he married in, although he told the servant to come back if something happened and he couldn't come back at night, it took so long It seems that there is never a night when he does not come back, no matter how late, even if he can only sleep for two hours after coming and going... Ignoring the little strangeness that suddenly appeared in the bottom of his heart, Yu Zhu laughed, rewarded him, and made him a suit , take the time and effort, anyway... Well, there is a lot of time.

Pick out a piece of good-quality blue plain silk from the storeroom, let the mother in the sewing room take it to cut it carefully, and roll up her sleeves to get ready. , the big kitchen is not busy with few people, and I went to the big kitchen to ask for flour, wanting to make some special snacks.

Yu Zhu was holding the needle to lock the edge, and the four maids next to her were dividing the thread, and those who chose the pattern were all smiling. They looked like they were all good maids, as long as the master was willing to do it. They are willing to do anything.Yu Zhu couldn't laugh or cry, she was so lazy.

Zaoyuan thought of something, suddenly chuckled, and said, "Do you still remember the first piece of clothing made by Miss? It seems..." Before finishing speaking, he ate Hua Ruo, the master managed to cheer up, What are you messing with?

She didn't hear anything, Yuzhu continued to work on the things in her hands calmly, she was more cheeky than herself, I am afraid that few people in the capital could compare to herself, when she was a waiter, she was in front of a restaurant full of people After being splashed with wine by a drunk customer, he could still apologize with a smile, and of course, in the end, he took revenge on the delirious guy's bill...

While doing this, she was waiting for Mama Ruan to have her snacks, when she suddenly heard commotion outside.

Yu Zhu raised his head suspiciously, this kind of situation is rare, he hurriedly sent the silver chain to see what happened.

Yinlian quickly put down the thread in his hand, hurried out the door, came back after a while, and said with a strange expression: "Ma'am, it's the little Aunt Chen in the yard of the eldest young lady who is about to give birth, and just started it, causing people in the yard to be thrown off their feet. "

"My aunt gave birth." Qin Si's eyes widened in surprise, "This is too...that." As a slave and maid, it is absolutely not allowed to criticize the master, Qin Si tried her best to swallow the words that came to her mouth.

Yu Zhu rubbed the side of her neck, "Little Aunt Chen?" Buddha bless, why did she suddenly think of someone, could it be her.

"It's called Little Aunt Chen, because the old man has an aunt named Chen, and that is Aunt Chen." Zhou's mother, who had just entered the room when she heard the news, replied with a smile, "This little Aunt Chen is the young master four or five years ago. A woman who was bought on the side of the road and sold herself to help her younger brother study. She was originally brought into the mansion to be a housekeeper, but later she became pregnant, and the young master felt sorry for her. In addition, she was originally the daughter of an innocent family. Let the eldest young mistress adopt her as an aunt, and call her Aunt Chen."

Oh my god, it's really that girl named Jiu'er, Yuzhu, who doesn't know what to say. I didn't expect that this girl came from a small family, but she has such means to earn her current position. The future is bright.

Maybe her purpose is not here, after all, the Cheng family has such rules...

"Why is there such a big commotion in light of childbirth?" Since Zhou's mother asked about it, Yu Zhu was naturally not polite.

Zhou's mother smiled sarcastically, she was in the courtyard all the time, how could she know, she immediately complained to Yu Zhu, and then went out.I don't know who she was asking, but she came back soon, "Madam, it's the young lady who fainted. After the doctor's examination, she found that she was pregnant for nearly two months, and... she was in a hurry, and her pulse was a little unstable. I’m afraid I’ve moved my tires...” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and give a reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
