Erosion of bones and pets, forensic mad concubine

Chapter 1815 Rong Li's Postscript 4
Chapter 1816 Rong Li's Postscript 4
On the first day of August, Rong Li left the city early.

At noon, the carriage from Fengzhou also arrived in the suburbs of Beijing.

When Rong Li saw his grandmother, the two of them were very close.

Ji Xiaqiu couldn't even wait until he got home to discuss business with his grandson, so he invited his grandson to the carriage and put some picture albums in front of him.

"The world is far and wide, Yan thin ring fat, famous ladies, Xiaojiabiyu, everything that you can expect, you should take a look first."

Rong Li held the picture album, and flipped through it helplessly. I have to say that my grandmother was really worried about his marriage. Looking at the picture album, it is so rigorous that it can be used to open a blind date parlor. There are portraits of the girl's family, and there is also a brief introduction of the family's life, ancestral home, hobbies, height, weight, and degree of rigor, which is more comprehensive than the household registration of the official department.

Rong Li blindly read a few pages, the expression on his face was always indifferent.

Ji Xiaqiu saw that his grandson was not interested, so he simply turned to the pages he liked and asked him to read them carefully.

"This Miss Li runs a silk and satin shop at home. Her family has only one daughter. Her parents treat her like a jewel. She is seventeen years old. She is the right age for you. Let's see if she is also pretty, like a flower bone. of."

"This Miss Chen is the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family in Nanshui Prefecture. She comes from a scholarly family and is very elegant. I heard that she has been studying poetry and books since she was a child. If she is not born with the wrong gender, then she is full of knowledge. , it’s not a problem to take the number one prize.”

"And this Miss Ou..."

"This Miss Fang..."

Rong Li just listened to his grandmother talking to him about science one by one like a sparrow, but he didn't talk to him, with a dull expression, his left ear went in and his right ear went out.

When his words were almost dry, Ji Xiaqiu patted his grandson on the shoulder and asked, "Did you listen to what I said?"

"I listened." Rong Li agreed.

"Then which one do you like?"

"It will be all right."

"You can call it whatever you want?" Ji Xiaqiu's eyes bulged.

Rong Li shrugged: "Since these girls are favored by my grandmother, they must be one in a million in temperament, so no matter which one they are, they must be more than enough for me. Naturally, I can do whatever."

Ji Xiaqiu was furious: "So you don't like any of them?"

Rong Li put down the picture album, and squeezed his grandmother's shoulders flatteringly: "Marriage is an important matter, there is no rush."

Ji Xiaqiu went to poke his grandson's forehead: "As long as you have high vision, it is harder than the emperor to choose a concubine. Anyway, I don't care. If you don't like girls from other places in the album, then let's look for them in Kyoto. There are many girls of the right age in Kyoto. Let's watch one by one!"

Rong Li nodded: "I listen to my grandmother."

Ji Xiaqiu was furious again when she heard the words, why did she listen to her, and clearly perfunctory her, seeing how careless she was, really wanted her to die of anxiety!
So Ji Xiaqiu began to use bitter tricks: "Grandma is getting old and won't live for a few years. Before she died, she wanted to..."

"Grandmother, you are in very good health, you won't have any problem living another 30 years, don't curse yourself." Rong Li interrupted unceremoniously.

Ji Xiaqiu: "..."

After returning to the city and setting up his grandmother, Rong Li planned to go to Qingle Hall.

Ji Xiaqiu pulled him back: "I asked you to go back to Beijing, not to ask you to see a doctor in another place. If you don't get married, you won't be allowed to go to see a doctor!"

Rong Li blinked and said: "I'm not going to see a doctor. I have something to do these days, so I won't make a doctor's appointment, but I have to go to the pharmacy to get medicine today."

Ji Xiaqiu hummed: "What's the matter with you? Isn't it just looking for a way to avoid me?"

"No, I want to enter the palace." Rong Li said, revealing a little bit of what he was doing: "The emperor has thought of a plan for the drought in Dingzhou, and I need my help in preparing food relief. Return home in one day."

Ji Xiaqiu was angry: "When I asked you to see the girl, you said that you would not go home every day, and that you didn't hide from me on purpose!"

"Grandmother..." Rong Li coaxed patiently: "This matter concerns hundreds of thousands of people in Dingzhou, so it's no joke."

The headquarter of Baxiufang is in Dingzhou. Dingzhou is suffering from drought. Although the girl from Xiufang is not to the point of starvation, she is indeed suffering from it. From the beginning of the drought, Ji Xiaqiu has been sending money to Dingzhou. In the name of Xiufang, she donated a lot of disaster funds. As an ordinary business woman, she can do only these.

Although she was anxious about her grandson's marriage, she was moved by her grandson's serious mention of the disaster in Dingzhou.

She asked: "Does the court really have a solution?"

Rong Li nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xiaqiu didn't quite believe it: "The crux of the drought lies in the lack of food, which is lacking in the north and also in the south. A month ago, the imperial court spent [-] silver to buy rice from Jiangnan at a high price, which was enough to almost empty out all major grain stores in Jiangnan and Kyushu. The common people will only have enough. Even if the imperial court pays another [-] silver to buy rice from the south of the Yangtze River, there will be no market for it. Now everywhere in Qingyun, there is no surplus food anywhere. The only place that still has food... "

As Ji Xiaqiu said, he glanced at Rong Li.

Rong Li shook his head seriously: "The military rations cannot be moved."

Ji Xiaqiu sighed: "Now the only food left in the country is for the border army to guard against. You said the emperor has a way to raise food, so how do you do it?"

Rong Li patted his grandmother on the shoulder: "Anyway, there is a way."

Seeing his grandson's assurance, Ji Xiaqiu could only nod his head: "If you can really raise food, you can go. I'll go to various houses for a while, and see for you which one has a good girl. After you finish your business, why not?" You have to choose one for me!"

Rong Li wrote a bad check, and immediately agreed: "It's natural."

Ji Xiaqiu can't find fault with him, so let him go.

Rong Li went to Qingle Hall first, took the medicine that the shopkeeper had prepared in advance, and delivered it to the palace in person.

In the Palace of Shangqing, Rong Jindong dispatched the surrounding palace people, and when he and Rong Li were the only ones in the palace, he stepped down from the high platform and came to him and asked, "Is that all?"

Rong Li nodded: "That's all, but we still need to make the pill soup in a secluded pharmacy."

Rong Jindong smiled: "I will take you there."

Rong Li never expected that Rong Jindong would arrange the alchemy room at the back of Shangqing Hall, the distance between the two places is not very big, and it would take a cup of tea time at most to come and go.

Rong Jindong opened the alchemy room, and Rong Li saw the stove top of the medicine cabinet with everything in it. He browsed around, and then heard the Ninth Five-Year Venerable beside him ask: "Can it be used together?"

Rong Li nodded blankly: "Very thoughtful, beyond my imagination."

Rong Jindong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to use it together, the disaster is serious, and we don't have much time."

Rong Li also became serious, and he promised: "I will make the medicine within three days." But he added: "But before that, I have to meet Zhong Ziyu first, and I want to check clearly, his current physical fitness, Whether it can bear all the properties of the medicine, the emperor also knows that this medicine is very dangerous, if the dose is slightly off, the person who takes it will easily die."

Rong Jindong frowned, as if hesitating.

Rong Li asked: "Is it convenient for him to come out?"

Rong Jindong nodded: "It's extremely difficult for him to get in, it's really not easy to get out, I'll think of a way."
