Evil girl follows good

Chapter 62 Alternation ([-])

Zhao Yushu frowned slightly. There was no place for a man to intervene in the affairs of the inner house. Besides, the fifth child himself was still confused, but he went to talk about others.

Not only the second master Zhao Yushu thought so, everyone present thought so too, except the old lady Zhao who was biased towards the old man above.

Bao looked at it secretly worried, now that the prime minister's mansion is in decline, and the big house is in the top spot, it's not too late to curry favor, he is still here to bully his daughter.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Yufan thought he was right and didn't feel complacent, "Mother, it happens that I have some friends who are going to the Northwest these few days, why don't I let the second girl go back with me, and I can rest assured that they will take care of me."

Feng Shi bowed her head and remained silent. With her father around, she never talked too much.

As for the three-bedroom family, they didn't get involved in anything at all, and the four-bedroom family was honest after experiencing Yuan Wan's incident, and now only the fifth master, Zhao Yufan, was left talking about it.

Before Mrs. Zhao agreed, Prime Minister Zhao dropped the teacup in his hand, "You write poems and paintings all day long, and that's all you've learned? You don't understand the principles of being a human being. I think you've read all your books into the stomach of a dog." Alright, I will put down all those poetry clubs in the future, pick up my studies, look at your brothers, you are looking at you, who will you rely on when we are old?"

"Xiao Wu is also angry. What do you think he is doing? When you say that he is not just discussing with others when he is writing poetry, it is not playing."

"You don't need to speak for him." Prime Minister Zhao said with a gloomy face, "You don't love him or hurt him like this today. I just hope that one day you won't regret it. It's getting late, let's go away."

After the people in each house had left, Prime Minister Zhao started talking about Yuan Xi, "How long are you going to keep the matter from me about the second girl?"

The old lady Zhao's face froze. The old lady Zhao didn't tell her master about the Duke's mansion.

Caiqing took a look, hurriedly led his servants back out, and closed the door from the outside.

"It's not that something happened to you just now. I also want to not upset you with this." Mrs. Zhao is still guilty after all.

Prime Minister Zhao snorted coldly, "In the future, the mansion will rely on the big house. The second girl is bullied like this, and her parents are not around. You, a grandmother, will not help you out. What will the boss think then? Isn't it? Chilling the heart of the child? At the beginning, I asked the boss to send the second girl back, hoping to bring the relationship between the big house and the family closer. Look at what you have done, and let the other four rooms see you, how do you think of you? Today And you said Er Yatou in front of each room, you really want to break the heart of the eldest room, don't you?"

Prime Minister Zhao was not disappointed, now that the matter has been completed, he also listened to the second girl's rebuttal, she is a thoughtful girl, it is difficult to coax people's hearts back.

"She was wronged? What about the master? Now that I'm at home, it's not because of her making a fuss." Mrs. Zhao did not hide it, "Today, Yifu came to exchange horoscopes. The second girl didn't come over for dinner. The people from Yifu went back and returned I don’t know how to arrange it, so I feel so good?”

"Forget it, it's useless to say what you're sure about." As soon as Prime Minister Zhao's mansion finished speaking, it was clear that someone from outside broke in.

She was shocked, "Old man, old lady, something is wrong, something happened outside."

Caiqing has always been safe, and it must be a big deal to break in like this suddenly.

"What happened?" Mrs. Zhao hurriedly asked.

Caiqing pointed to the door, but didn't say a word for a while.

Prime Minister Zhao got up and strode out of the house. When he stood outside the door and saw the scene outside, his whole body froze, and the yard was in chaos. He heard the exclamation of his servants fleeing everywhere, and the locusts were like hail He threw himself on Prime Minister Zhao head-on.

The old lady Zhao reached the door with Caiqing's hand, and was startled by the overwhelming locusts, she stepped back again and again, "Is this a plague of locusts?"

"The sky is changeable, and something will happen." Prime Minister Zhao said with a serious expression, and ordered his servants to close the door.

Sitting in the house, I could still hear the sound of locusts hitting the window outside, and the sound was especially loud in this silent night. It was the first time that Mrs. Zhao saw such a plague of locusts after living such a long life.

"After the natural disaster, it will be a man-made disaster, and the people will have to live in dire straits." Prime Minister Zhao was worried.

The old lady Zhao didn't say anything, but she didn't care in her heart. No one was in the court anymore, so she didn't care about the people.

After this night, I don't know what happened to the other messy things in the capital, but most of the flowers, plants and trees in the prime minister's mansion were eaten by locusts, and there was not a single good leaf in sight, and the corpses of locusts were everywhere.

The locust incident made people's lives difficult. The crops that were about to be harvested were all eaten up, and the people couldn't find a place to cry. On that day, the prices of grain and rice shops in the capital tripled. Save it, but those who have no money can only go hungry. In just three days, a large number of beggar refugees flooded into the capital.

When the men of the Zhao family came back from the outside, they gathered in the Indus courtyard with ugly faces.

"There are more and more refugees coming from the capital, and the imperial court has not made any movement. If the food can't come down, I'm afraid something will happen after a while." On weekdays, it took half an hour to get home, and it took a full hour and a half. Zhao Yushu reluctantly became worried.

Zhao Yuwei also had a displeased expression on his face, "No one at the Metropolitan Procuratorate has made any noises, and each of them is louder than the other on weekdays. It's really something to do, and everyone shrank their heads and pretended to be grandchildren."

Only the third master, Zhao Yuran, sat there with his head down, without speaking.

Prime Minister Zhao glanced at his sons before slowly opening his mouth, "The Zhuangzi in the mansion also suffered a disaster, and the food prepared at home can be used for a while, but there are more than a hundred people in the mansion and the Zhuangzi, so it will continue like this. It's not a solution, you all take a rest tomorrow, and see if you can add some food to your home."

For such a large locust plague, new food will not be available until next autumn when the food is available, or it will be shipped from the south of the Yangtze River, but in the current situation, the food in the mansion is only enough for three or four months.

"Father, I don't think it's that serious." Zhao Yuwei dismissed it. "The refugees are all ordinary people. I can't wait for a long time. There will be food coming from Jiangnan."

Zhao Yushu also felt that his father was too worried, "Speaking of which, both the Duke's Mansion and the Zhuang Mansion have set up porridge sheds, should we also set up porridge sheds?"

"The second daughter-in-law, let's do it." Prime Minister Zhao saw that his sons had their own ideas, so he didn't say much.

After all, you have to learn the lessons carefully before you can grow closer.

It would be a good idea to let them learn some truth through this matter.

In the Yuege courtyard, the smile on Fang’s mother’s face could not be closed, “If I hadn’t watched the girl grow up since I was a child, I would have thought that the girl was a fairy, who would know that there was going to be a locust plague. The food we store is really amazing. I really made a lot of money. Girl, when will we sell it? Now it’s tripled."

Mother Fang didn't think much about it.

Yuan Xi also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Keep it, earning the money now has some virtues and no conscience."

Mother Fang felt relieved, "Girl, you have grown up. Madam will be happy if she finds out."

Fang's mother never expected that the girl would think of this, and she was moved and satisfied. Others said that the girl was spoiled, but if you look at the girls in the capital, who has such a heart like a girl?
"I don't know when my mother will be able to reply to the letter." It takes one and a half months to travel from the capital to the northwest, and it will only take half a month for Zhong Yan to go. I don't know the year and month when I wait for my father to pick me up. Mother Ri should not leave the house, there are refugees everywhere outside, and it is not safe."

"Don't worry, girl, I know this well." Mother Fang smiled reassuringly.

When they heard the death bell ringing outside, everyone's expressions changed immediately.

"Girl, it's the emperor..." Although they had never heard it before, everyone understood what the bell meant.

"Lv Zhu went to find some plain clothes and put away the jewelry and bright clothes." Yuan Xi ordered without waiting for the woman from Wutong Court to come over to guide her.

Green Bamboo responded to the sound and went to prepare, Fang's mother also got up to help, and when Feng finished arranging the things in the mansion, she remembered that there was no notification from Yuege Courtyard, so she hurriedly asked An Lan to go there, and when An Lan came back, she said that it was too late. After changing it, Feng Shi was somewhat surprised, but couldn't help sighing.

"It's said that the second girl is inappropriate, but when something big happens, the second girl can stand alone." After the death knell rang, Feng's heart sank.

The prime minister's mansion really fell this time.

The emperor had a great funeral, and the soldiers and civilians in Beijing had to pick off crowns and wear plain silk for 27 days. They were not allowed to marry within one month, not to have fun for one hundred days, not to be slaughtered for 49 days, and not to pray and give thanks for 27 days. sacrifice.

Coupled with the plague of locusts, the entire capital became more and more depressed. Even the new emperor held a grand ceremony hastily when he ascended the throne, and changed the name of the reign to Jiaqing. There are officials and officials who have been harmed by plots.

All of a sudden, people were in a state of panic, and it was still dark. Apart from refugees, there were no children from various families in fine clothes on the streets of the capital.

In this way, the people in the Zhao Mansion feel more at ease. After all, the recession does not refer to the Zhao Mansion, and all the mansions also shrink their heads to wait and see. There are Zhuang Mansion, Bao Mansion, Gu Mansion, Guogong Mansion and Prince Mansion, and several of them are very close to each other. Prime Minister Zhao took the initiative to sue his nephew for office, and Zhuang Qiyuan's father was also promoted from Prince Shao Fu to Prime Minister. The scenery of the government is infinite.

The fourth room, Li Cheng, looked unhappy, "Father made such a big decision, and he didn't even mention to discuss it with the family first, so it's not too late to get married after all the juniors' marriages are settled."

Cheng finally found his own sister-in-law to go to the Shangshu Mansion, but there has been no movement from the Bai family. Although it is not possible to marry at the moment, there are also private engagements. The silence of the Bai Mansion made Cheng panic. Well, she has been watching this marriage for more than a year. The girl from the Bai family can live a good life and has a good temper.

　If the plot develops slowly, I will hurry up, but I have to explain it, so as to lay it out for the following plot.
