green bamboo dream

Canal done?

Yu Zhu was slightly surprised, but also smiled.

This is one of the most troublesome things for the emperor. The late emperor worked hard, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and created a big mess. After the emperor ascended the throne, he couldn't stop immediately, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted, and all the previous efforts would be in vain, so he had to suffer haha continue to throw money into it.

Although the project is a bit large, the results are quite impressive.After the expansion of the canal, the tortuous voyage of the canal in the past has been changed, and the canal is basically straightened, so the voyage of the north-south travel can be greatly shortened.

"It's really good news." Yu Zhu smiled charmingly, and said coquettishly: "Without this big expenditure, the emperor can relax a little bit. I'm really worried that if I continue to be so poor, I won't be able to support my son." .”

His eyes were bright, like two lively koi carps playing in a clear and clear pond, with a somewhat indescribable air in their cunning.

Cheng Xunxun saw it in his eyes, and the ripples in his heart spread round and round very gently.

"You're talking stupid again, how can the emperor not be able to support Xi'er?" He smiled and sat next to Yu Zhu, and said with a smile: "But that kid can make a fuss, the news from the palace, brother Xi, etc. The life is taken care of by the emperor himself, except for going to the court and discussing matters in the imperial study room, the rest of the time he personally takes care of him."

Cheng Xunxun had deep eyes and a playful smile, "...this is a treatment that even the eldest prince does not have."

"Will the empress be unhappy, and Concubine Rong..." Yu Zhu became anxious when she heard it. The emperor's favor is a double-edged sword, a double-edged sword, and it is easy to attract people's envy. It's all floating clouds.

"...Silly boy." Cheng Xunxun laughed sullenly, and squeezed her soft cheek, "But I've read too many unofficial history books... What's the problem with Brother Xi and them? Besides, Brother Xi He is my eldest son, but not everyone can bully him."

That's right, she's in chaos if she cares.

After talking for a while, Cheng Xunxun suddenly remembered something, and said another thing: "...when the court was in court today, Old General Feng took sick leave."

"The emperor has already sent an imperial physician. Judging from General Feng's usual temper, he seems to be seriously ill. I also heard that the old general's daughter-in-law is also seriously ill..." He looked sympathetically, and sighed softly: "It's already gone. Emphasis on filial piety, my nephew and daughter-in-law are going to visit tomorrow, if you are free, go and have a look, and take some good medicinal materials from the storeroom."

Yu Zhu didn't want to talk about Qiu Wen, so she followed his words: "Don't worry, I will definitely go tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Yu Zhu followed the Ji family to the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

"There are really few people." The servant girl led the way, Ji Shi looked around and couldn't help but whisper in Yu Zhu's ear.

Yu Zhu looked away.

The Zhenbei General's Mansion was already deserted, but now that the old general has fallen, it becomes even more deserted.

This is the way things are in this world, there are many icing on the cake, but little help in the snow.

The pace gradually slowed down, and he asked about the maid who led the way.

"Go back to Mrs., Grandma, Mrs. He Qinghou and several other wives have just returned, and Mrs. Jingchuanhou is still here." The little maid smiled and turned around slightly, her naive face full of pride.

It seems that it is a very respectable thing for two Madam Hou to come.

Yu Zhu also smiled and nodded to her, and then stopped talking.

Mrs. He Qinghou is a well-known good old man, she won't offend anyone, and she is courteous in everything; Mrs. Jingchuanhou is related to Mrs. Feng, and she seems to be a cousin or something.

After entering the door, Feng Baoer, who was dressed in a light rose red brocade brocade embroidered with silk and branches, greeted her first.

She was much thinner than when she met on the mountain last year, her plump chin became pointed, and she still had a dark halo like the dyed snails under her eyes.

"Second Madam Cheng, Second Granny Cheng."

Feng Baoer saluted gracefully, and led them in with a smile, "Mother is in good spirits now, and my aunt is talking to her."

Entering the inner room, what comes to the face is not the smell of medicine, but the light fragrance of flowers.

Ji Shi and Yu Zhu were a little surprised, but they didn't show it on their faces, and greeted Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Jingchuanhou with a smile.

Mrs. Jing Chuanhou hurriedly got up to return the salute, looked at Yu Zhu and said with a smile, "You're welcome, my elder sister is not well. If you don't mind, I'll greet you on her behalf."

Madam Feng was leaning on a jade-colored and brocade pillow, with a peaceful expression and a gentle smile, but her face was extremely pale and thin, as if speaking loudly would frighten her.

Yu Zhu hurriedly said: "What you said scares us so much that we dare not come... for fear of disturbing the patient's peace."

Mrs. Jing Chuanhou seems to have a very good impression of Yuzhu. There are quite a few people who can still come to visit at this time, but most of them are the family members of low-ranking officials, but there are very few high-ranking ones. The family members of Cheng Guogong's family are also kind Righteous.

The maid came in with the medicine, Feng Baoer hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and went to the bed to serve Mrs. Feng to drink it herself.

After Mrs. Feng drank the medicine and lay down, everyone retreated gently.

When they arrived at the flower hall, they took their seats, and the maids served fragrant tea.

Mrs. Jing Chuanhou held it lightly in her hand, lifted the lid of the cup and sniffed the lingering fragrance, and said with a smile, "I heard that your son is talented and intelligent, with profound blessings, and the emperor and empress dote on him very much. The second lady is really lucky. Silin'er."

The corners of Yuzhu's mouth trembled, neither was it modesty, nor was it gratitude, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Feng Bao'er nodded, and said: "It's a pity that I didn't see him. When he leaves the palace, I must go to the mansion to have a look. What kind of child prodigy can..."

"Miss, miss, it's not good, the master vomits blood..."

Messy footsteps hurried to the door, and a little maid in green ran in, sweating all over her face.

Feng Baoer's face turned pale all of a sudden, and she stumbled and ran out, almost hitting the door frame.

Mrs. Jing Chuanhou's face also changed in horror, she hesitated to go out with Feng Bao'er, hesitated for a while and then sighed, slowly fell down and sat down, gently clapping her hands and chanting sutras.

Yu Zhu and Ji Shi looked at each other, a little restless, but Mrs. Jing Chuanhou opened her eyes after reading a few words, first expressed her apology, and then ordered her maid to send them out.

"Second Aunt." Ji looked at the little maid who was leading the way, and said softly, "Old General Feng will be fine."

Yu Zhu's face was serious. According to what Cheng Xunxun said yesterday, this old general Feng must have been unable to hold on before he fell down. From this point of view, the current physical condition is not optimistic...

Shaking her head slowly, Yu Zhu also lowered her voice: "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Just as she was walking to a round moon gate and was about to turn around, the maid who led the way suddenly screamed. Before Yu Zhu could react, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, and then a brute force rushed into her arms, and she staggered to the ground. Fall back.

"Madam" Yao's mother and Hua Ruo were shocked, and hurried to pull it, but they were a step too late, and watched Yuzhu fall directly to the ground.

When her back touched the cold and hard bluestone slab, Yu Zhu closed her eyes and whimpered, she couldn't get rid of her bad habit of not reading the almanac when she went out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
