Outside the Forbidden City, Zhang Lin stood on the Yuhe Bridge and scolded. Fu Zhong scratched his head and said, "That kid is clever, and he actually left the palace ahead of schedule." ”

Ouyang Lun smiled: "It's better to go out of Beijing, didn't he go north to Yanjing?" One of the guards was not a chaplain, at most he brought a few of his own guards with him, sent someone to slaughter him halfway, and then scuttled the boat without knowing it. At that time, who else can the county lord of Yuning marry besides you? ”

Zhang Lin smiled cruelly: "I should personally kill this fang, otherwise it is impossible to solve the hatred in my heart." ”

Fu Zhong deliberately said eagerly: "It's not appropriate, after all, it's a human life lawsuit, don't get into a big disaster for the sake of a momentary anger." ”

Where did Zhang Lin listen to people's persuasion? After saying that, I took it seriously, and got on the horse and took the slave away.

Ouyang Lun looked at Zhang Lin's departing back and sneered: "A reckless man is a reckless man, what do you care about him?" Let's go, I haven't visited Lord Guogong for a few days, and I went to your house to ask for a glass of wine to eat. ”

··············

As soon as he got home, Xu Hao found that the atmosphere in Fushou Ju was a little weird today, so he quietly walked in front of the old lady and sat down slowly.

The three ladies all looked a little strange, and they all stood, and the others all stood obediently. There was no reaction to his grandiose sitting, in the past, his mother would always laugh and scold, accusing himself of being ignorant, but today he frequently gave himself a look unusually, and the big guys also looked at themselves with blank eyes, Xu Hao understood the meaning, everyone wanted to make themselves happy with the old lady.

But Xu Hao is not stupid, it is not good to talk nonsense in this situation, and it is not interesting to get burned if he is not angry, and he is sitting honestly with a smile at the moment.

The old lady habitually held her grandson's hand and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court sent Zengfu to Qingzhou Mansion to serve as the magistrate, there must be a deep meaning of the imperial court. Your husband and wife hurriedly went back to pack up and set off as soon as possible, and the old body allowed you to go to work with Zengfu. ”

The third wife, Liu, said with a look of grievance: "Mother, due to the frequent wars in the early years, the people were displaced, and the vitality has not yet fully recovered. The old man also said that Qingzhou has been a mess of people since ancient times, and the hungry people even dare to eat each other in order to survive, which is appalling. originally thought that the imperial court would be promoted to the official position of the lord, but who would have thought that he would go to the poor mountains and bad waters to continue to be the magistrate? Mother, you can't repair a letter to King Yan right away, even if you stay in the capital and stay at home, it's better to go to Shandong. ”

The old lady immediately sank his face and asked, "Is this your mind or the meaning of blessing?" ”

Liu didn't know what to do, and lowered his head and said: "This is my couple's idea, please fulfill my mother." ”

The room was full of people, and the old lady was suddenly furious, staring at the third daughter-in-law who was not angry, and just about to have a seizure, she found that her grandson's hand was strong. Only then did he suppress the disappointment in his heart, and said weakly: "That's it, I'm old and useless, worry about the future of your husband and wife, don't expect me to write to King Yan, you can find a way to go by yourself." ”

Liu's big joy, just waiting for the old lady's words, even if he returns to the north to be a magistrate, it is always better to go to Qingzhou Mansion, which is full of victims, or take a sick leave with the officials, and stay at home to make plans.

The old lady looked at her happy appearance, and said discouragedly: "Except for the second wife and Hao'er, you all go, you don't have to come over at night to say goodbye, the old body is tired and you have to rest early." ”

Xu Hao noticed that the eldest lady Wang immediately gave a slight salute with an expressionless face, and turned around with her aunt and daughters.

Liu Shi thanked him for his kindness, and turned around and left satisfied. In an instant, the house was full of only Xiao's mother and son and the eldest girl Yuelan.

The old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a wry smile: "What kind of sin did I create in my last life?" As a result, such a group of bastards who are not angry have been raised. When I swallowed my breath, how could I have the face to go to my ancestors, ancestors, and husbands? ”

Xiao Shixin said that it is not all your old and blindly spoiled long room and three rooms? So much so that today's fruit has come? The face persuaded: "Mother, you are so good to dissipate your anger, it is not an exaggeration for the three and two to avoid evil and seek good fortune, I have also heard of all kinds of tragic situations in Qingzhou, and there are tragic things about changing children and eating, even many officials were killed by the hungry people to eat, so frightened that the Qingzhou officials closed the city gate tightly, and did not dare to step out of the yamen." I was also so scared that I couldn't dream of it, the third couple had been clothed and fed since they were children, how could they have seen such evil things? If you don't go, you won't go. ”

Xu Hao also heard about this matter, Shandong and Henan have always been battlegrounds, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was the main battlefield, so that the population of ten rooms and nine empty rooms decreased sharply under the chaos of war for many years. In the past ten years, the imperial court has continuously migrated nearly 100,000 households from various places into various prefectures and counties in Shandong, and actively built water conservancy and rewarded land reclamation.

Unexpectedly, last year's flood, the whole Shandong was affected, Qingzhou is the hardest hit place, although the imperial court immediately exempted the money and grain taxes, sent ministers to disaster relief, but with the current manpower and material resources, the progress is extremely slow, so Qingzhou broke out a large-scale famine and plague, the people in order to survive, nothing can be cared about.

And with Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, after learning that there was a tragedy of cannibalism in Qingzhou, he seemed to feel that he had lost face, and in a fit of anger, he ordered to stop the imperial court from helping the local hungry people, and he was actually a jiashi who wanted to starve everyone to death.

Fortunately, the ministers have long figured out the emperor's thoughts, whether the anger is false or the disappointment is real, if the courtiers learn to ignore it, just wait to lose their heads. Therefore, a large amount of grain was still transferred from various places one after another, and the whole of Shandong finally turned the corner from danger to safety. However, for Qingzhou Mansion, the imperial court did not dare to anger the emperor too much, and simply ordered the surrounding officials to block the road and leave it to fend for itself.

Shandong has been a rich land since ancient times, even if there is no imperial court to help the victims, as long as the government can be loyal to its duties, try to raise its own food, and lead the victims to farm for self-protection, it is not difficult to get out of the predicament.

If we are afraid that officials will neglect their duties, natural disasters are often not terrible, but man-made disasters. There are only two possibilities for dispatching the third uncle to Qingzhou at this juncture. One is to openly push people into the fire pit; Second, officials have placed high hopes on this. Obviously, the third uncle belongs to the latter, and the more he achieves results in this difficult moment, the more unlimited his career will be in the future.

What a pity! Even the old lady understood this deep meaning, and the third uncle didn't dare to go under cowardice, no wonder the old man was deeply disappointed.

Xu Hao didn't speak, he understood that the old lady was disappointed, but in fact, he was just as worried about this matter, what if he went? It's better than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, so he simply let the third uncle and his wife make their own decisions.

Sure enough, the old lady who sighed again and again and hated iron and steel, quickly returned to normal, and lamented: "There are also the eldest couple who have been blinded by lard, and they dare to covet the property of the Wang family. ”

Xiao Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that sister-in-law would be so short-sighted? I want to take advantage of my mother's cheapness, alas! ”

The old lady sighed and said: "She has always liked to be greedy and cheap, how can she not be tempted with tens of thousands of taels of silver in her hand?" In the future, if we don't get rid of this problem, sooner or later we will suffer a big loss. Not to mention anything else, there is no impermeable strong in this world, and when relatives and friends know about it, what will they think of her? What is the use of guarding a house full of gold and silver treasures? What's it like to be a human being? Confused. ”

Xiao Shi felt that the old lady's tone was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, few people know about this matter, and you found out in time and did not make a big mistake." The daughter-in-law promised that she would never say it, otherwise there would be five thunderstorms in the sky, Hao'er would not be talkative, and as for the county lord, she would not do stupid things. ”

"Hmm." The old lady nodded, her eyes wandered, Xu Hao's expression remained unchanged and did not speak, the old lady knew her grandson's personality very well, and she didn't care, which made Xu Hao very useful in her heart. Seeing this, Yuelan knelt on her knees and swore that she would never say it.

The old lady was relieved, and said in a deep voice: "Although we are all tight-lipped, we can't let go of this festival easily, otherwise the old body won't be able to swallow this breath." In the future, you will control the power of the family, and you will not allow their two short-sighted wives to corrupt my Xu family's style, let Qiaoqiao take care of the trivial matters below, and if you don't understand, I will ask you, anyway, with you in charge, the old body will rest assured. ”

Xiao Shi was very happy, but there was no trace of joy on his face, and said: "Skillful and shrewd, and the daughter-in-law has nothing to teach, and your old man mentions it from time to time, and the family affairs must be in order, and the daughter-in-law will enjoy happiness in the future." ”

The old lady shook her head and said: "I look at the clever way of acting as a person, shrewd is shrewd but not steady, bold and spicy, let her housekeeper have a lot of hidden dangers, and besides, she is always young and inexperienced, and she is not as good as you in everything." You don't have to pretend to be clever in front of the old body, this house will be in your hands. ”

Xiao Shi didn't dare to shirk at this time, and said softly: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." ”

Xu Hao shook his head secretly when he heard this, although he fulfilled his mother's wish, but also planted the signs of future struggle, what is there to do in this family?

Xu Hao said: "I was ordered to go to Beiping, and the saint promised to take the eldest sister and the younger sister together to travel the mountains and play underwater by the way. ”

Lao Taijun and Xiao Shi were both shocked, and hurriedly asked for details, and Xu Hao explained a few more words. The old lady suddenly smiled and said: "It's good, it's rare to be ordered to go on a business trip at such a young age." It also shows that the Holy Instrument is more important than you, and it is a great good thing. Alas! It's still Hao'er fighting for her grandmother. ”

While Xiao Shi was happy, he said: "You are not allowed to go out with Qinglian red leaves, Shandong and Henan are not at ease, what if you get caught a sudden illness?" Even you have to be careful, and be careful, oops, I'm not worried. ”

Xu Hao was right to think about it, at this time, the plague in Shandong had not completely passed, and the victims had run to the vicinity of the capital, and it was not safe on this road, so it seemed that they could not take risks. No wonder I said that I was going to take my sister to Mount Tai, why was Comrade Zhu's expression so strange at that time.

Xu Hao nodded in agreement at the moment, recalling the emperor's expression at that time, and secretly said that he had to go to Qingzhou Mansion, otherwise when he came back, Comrade Zhu asked that he knew that the problem in Qingzhou was serious but turned a blind eye, and his death was unknown.
