Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 533 Investigate the news
"It's not good to hide it?" Qingzhu hesitated.

"Anyway, Gege doesn't go to the main courtyard to pay his respects now. Let's keep everyone in the courtyard quiet so we can hide it from Gege. Gege also knows that Lord Baylor is busy these days, so he won't ask even if he can't see him. Maybe Lord Baylor will spend two days I’ll be back in a few days. This will let Ge Ge know, but it’s just worrying in vain.” Wu Youcai said.

"What Eunuch Wu said is true. Let's talk to Gege when Master Baylor comes back safely. Now Gege is recuperating, so why worry her?" Qing Miao said.

"Ask what Nanny Luo means." Qingzhu thought for a while.She also felt that what Wu Youcai said made sense.But the big and small affairs of Yileyuan are now being taken care of by Nanny Luo.If you really want to hide this from Mao Tongtong, you still have to tell Nanny Luo.

So a few people took advantage of Mao Tongtong's afternoon nap to discuss with Luo Mama.

"It's better to keep it a secret for now." Nanny Luo nodded and said, "If there is no news in five days, let's talk about it."

With the solidarity of the servants, Mao Tongtong knew nothing about the news that Ba Ye was sealed outside the city.She just thought that Ba Ye was too busy with things, so he was resting in the front yard all the time.Originally, she also planned to go to the front yard halfway.Ba Ye said before that there is still time to have a meal with her.

As a result, Wu Youcai said that Ba Ye had been busy for the past two days and hadn't returned home, so she dismissed the idea.

"Why is Lord Baylor so busy? Have you heard the news?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"The catastrophe in Henan caused many refugees to flee to the outskirts of Beijing. I heard that the imperial court is trying to resettle them now! Lord Belle is probably busy with this." Wu Youcai said after deliberation.

"Drought?" Mao Tongtong couldn't help asking.

"That's right. I heard that there hasn't been a drop of rain over there for more than a month. The ground is so dry." Wu Youcai said.

"Then it's not harvested this year?" Mao Tongtong said.

"No! That's why so many people escaped." Wu Youcai said.

Mao Tongtong shook his head, this kind of natural disaster is the worst.Today's weather prediction is not as accurate as in later generations, and it is difficult to prevent it in advance.The only way to deal with it is to wait until it happens.Moreover, the current communication is not well developed, and it often takes ten and a half months for an event to receive news.

"We are lucky to be in the capital." Mao Tongtong sighed.

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.With the big Buddha Kangxi living in the capital, no matter what happens, the stability of the capital will be guaranteed.Even if there is a disaster, the supply in the capital will not be short.

Wu Youcai and the others exchanged glances, smiled and echoed a few words, but didn't say much.If Mao Tongtong knew that everyone outside was in danger, she might not be able to say that.

On the surface, the Eighth Master's Mansion was peaceful, but the servants were full of speculation and uneasiness in private.Guo Luoluo punished the two gossipers, which made things better.

Next door to Si Ye's mansion, Si Fujin sealed the mansion after returning from Ulanara mansion.Except for the purchased slaves who come in and out at fixed points every day, everyone else is not allowed to come in or out.Without the spread of rumors outside, the mansion has remained stable.

Five days later, the city closure order has not been lifted.Fourth master and eighth master have not returned yet.Guo Luoluo couldn't sit still anymore.

"Mommy, I want to go to the palace. The news from Concubine Hui is always better."

Madam Lei was not calm this time either.The longer Ba Ye stayed outside the city, the greater the chance of contracting the disease.If you don't inquire about the news now, you really don't feel at ease.

"It's good for Fujin to ask."

"Or should I visit the princess? The prince should be the most informed." Guo Luoluo said again.

"Crown Princess?" Lei Momo hesitated, "Fu Jin and the Crown Princess don't have much friendship."

"Anyway, she is also a sister-in-law, she will never turn me away." Guo Luoluo said.In my impression, the princess is a gentle woman.Although the two of them didn't have many chances to get in touch with each other, she thought that the princess could tell her some news for the sake of their sister-in-law's relationship.

"Then Fujin is planning to visit Concubine Hui first, and then the Crown Princess?" Lei Momo said.

"Let's visit the Crown Princess first. If there is news from her, I won't ask Concubine Hui." Guo Luoluo said.

After the decision was made, Guo Luoluo brought the pomegranate and hibiscus into the palace.But what she didn't expect was that she was not the only visitor in Yuqing Palace.

"Yo, the eighth younger siblings are rare visitors!" The crown prince sat down with San Fujin, who laughed when he saw Guo Luoluo's family come in.

"I've seen the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law." Guo Luoluo didn't look at Sanfu Jin, and directly saluted the princess.

"Come and sit." The princess smiled kindly.

Guo Luoluo sat down opposite Sanfujin.

"The eighth younger siblings have seldom entered the palace in the past six months, so what happened today?" the princess asked.

"I'm impatient, so I won't go around with the second sister-in-law. I came today to ask the second sister-in-law if she has any news. Our master has been away from the city for several days, and we don't know when we will be back?" Guo Luoluo said .

"The eighth brother and sister are asking such a strange question. The second sister-in-law stays in the palace all day, so she doesn't know what's going on outside the palace. It stands to reason that we have more news outside the palace." San Fujin said first.

Guo Luoluo has always been at odds with her, and when he first came in, he didn't like Sanfujin's tone of voice.Before the Crown Princess could speak, she rushed to answer, with a reprimanding tone that she shouldn't have asked, which made people really upset.

"Sister-in-law San is in such a hurry to speak because she knows something?" Guo Luoluo looked at Sanfujin with a half-smile.

Everyone knows that because the third master has not been reused these years, Sanfujin is also a little bit embarrassed among his sisters-in-law.But her prickly tongue wasn't much better.This time the third master and the seventh master went out to Beijing together on a business trip, which meant that they wanted to use it, and San Fujin couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Guo Luoluo wasn't one to admit defeat at first, but seeing Sanfujin's face, he couldn't help but stab at him immediately.

"I only care about our master's. As for the eighth brother's, I don't know." San Fujin said.

"Since that's the case, please ask the third sister-in-law to say a few words less. I'm talking to the second sister-in-law. Isn't it good for you to intervene in the middle?" Guo Luoluo sneered.

San Fujin's face sank, and just as he was about to speak again, the Crown Princess spoke up, "Men are on business outside, and it's really hard for us women who stay in the back house every day. Don't tell me the news, and worry about it all day long. You guys, It's not easy. In the past, when the crown prince went to Beijing on business, I was just like you, I just wanted to find out more information, so that I could feel more at ease."

"It's good that the second sister-in-law understands. I can't help it. The city has been closed for five days, and I don't know when it will end." Guo Luoluo showed a sad face.

　It's three o'clock today.Tomorrow the fourth update will resume.
