Chapter 219 Concubine is hard to find, Guanzhong drought

"Madam, stay for now, no need to send me off! I'll disturb you later!"

In front of the Chuanhua Gate of Zhaowu Hou Mansion, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were taking a few maids to show two graceful women out.

It was not until the two women, supported by the women, got on the green curtain oil truck and gradually left, that Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai took the people back.

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, "There are too many people coming to visit, which is not a good thing. Just picking up and sending them is a very busy job!

But I don’t know what Brother Jing is thinking about the marriage between Sister Yingchun. How many families have come to inquire about it openly and secretly!”

Xue Baochai next to her smiled and said, "The people who have visited the site recently have indeed come too frequently, but this is what our Marquis of Wu’s mansion should look like!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "What should I look like? I would rather be as leisurely as before!"

While talking.

In the distance, the Qingwei Oil Truck had already left the Wuhou Mansion.

In the carriage, one of the women couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that seeing is better than seeing at first sight. Look at Xue, although she is a concubine, her application specifications in the Marquis's mansion are not much worse than those in the Marquis's house!

People say that Zhaowu Hou enjoys beauty and rare treasures, but now it seems to be true!”

The other woman nodded and smiled, "This is indeed a maverick in Wuhou Mansion!"

The woman said before, "But who would have thought that the old lady in the Rongguo Mansion was a clueless person!

He just turned to the second house, but instead pushed out a grandson who was named a military marquis, so he was forced to do so! Now he is still like an enemy!"

The words are filled with indescribable gloating.

The other woman rolled her eyes, "You are still gloating, but you're still thinking about what to say when you go back. We both went for nothing today!

I never thought that it would be so difficult for our dignified Duke’s Mansion to come to marry a concubine’s daughter..."

"After all, it's Zhaowuhou's elder sister, and it is inevitable that the two of them have a deep sibling relationship..."

There was silence in the carriage again.

…………

On the other side.

When he came back from the camp, Jia Jing couldn't help but frown when he looked at Feng Ziying who had been following him all the way.

"What are you going to do when you follow me here all the way?"

Seeing Jia Jing's face unchanged, Feng Ziying's expression stagnated, and a little red appeared on her face. She respectfully stepped forward and said, "It's a great surprise that the governor learned that when he was invited by the Baoyu brothers of Rongfu, he accidentally saw Miss Yingchun's graceful expression, and couldn't help but be amazed by it..."

Jia Jing raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Feng Ziying stammered, "Then? This... I will think about it and ask my parents at home to ask a matchmaker to come..."

When he was talking, looking at Jia Jing's frowning brows, Feng Ziying's voice couldn't help but become smaller and smaller.

Suddenly, I felt like I suddenly remembered something.

Feng Ziying took two steps at a time and took out two boxes, one big and one small from the pocket next to his saddle. "This item is given to the governor. It is hot in summer. It is also good to put it in the back house to cover mosquitoes and flies!"

After saying that, he put it in Jia Jing's pocket beside Jia Jing's saddle, and without waiting for Jia Jing to speak, he turned over and ran away as if he was flying.

Looking at Feng Ziying who was gradually moving away, Jia Jing's eyes flashed, "But I still have to take a look!"

……………………

June is particularly hot.

The sun above the sky seemed to be picked off and hung on people's heads, and the people were complaining with the rolling heat waves.

It's like putting a person in a stove and roasting it.

Looking up, there was nothing in the blue sky except the dazzling white sun.

Clouds and other things, before they could appear, were evaporated by the scorching sun. As for the rain, I didn’t even think about it!

On the earth below.

The ponds and rivers have already dried up, and even the riverbed below has completely dried up; deep wells have been announced to be completely cut off...

The entire Guanzhong Plain is full of arid scenes filled with loess.

As for the crops, they had already dried up in the fields and turned into a yellow patch!

On the official road leading to Hanzhong Prefecture.

The weeds on both sides have long disappeared, and replaced by pale white bones that can be seen from time to time.

The trees along the valley, bark, leaves, etc. have been snatched away, leaving only thick branches that are difficult to bite, barely exposed to the scorching sun.

Countless ragged people were struggling to move forward on the official road.

They used to be civilians in Guanzhong area, but now they only have a unified name.

Disaster victims!

On their already numb faces, only when they looked at the city ahead, they showed a little difference.

That is the desire for life!

During the crowd, some people fell to the ground from time to time. Some were able to get up tremblingly after doing their best, while others were unable to get up again.

Whenever someone falls down, the crowd around them will be excited, and the blood-shot red eyes are filled with inexplicable desire!

Soon, there will be an extra scattered and clean human bones on the side of the official road...

...

Under the city walls of Hanzhong Prefecture, there were crowds of disaster victims.

Looking around, the victims even stretched out several miles away.

But even so, there are still a steady stream of disaster victims gathering.

Several sporadic porridge sheds set up by the Hanzhong Prefecture seemed so pale and powerless when facing the endless disaster victims.

Change the seeds and eat them, and split the bones and cook them!

When this scene really appears in reality, even if he is in charge of the military equipment of the city and is used to life and death, he still feels cold on his back!

Under the disaster, a series of notes requesting the court to provide relief were sent to Shenjing one after another.

In the hidden corner, figures wrapped in white cloth and wearing patchwork clothes often appear among the victims.

The voice of "The old mother without birth, vacuum home" is getting louder and louder!

……………………

On the eighth year of Hongde, on June 15th, Shenjing.

The Palace of Supreme Harmony, looking at the sun and celebrating the dynasty.

Emperor Hongde sat on the platform and was silent. Qiu Shi'an next to him read a note of the severe drought in Guanzhong and the Shaanxi Governor requesting the court to rescue the disaster.

There was silence in the hall.

After a while, Qiu Shi'an finished reading the memorial.

The ministers still bowed their heads and said nothing, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony could be heard.

On the high platform, Emperor Hongde glanced around and then said, "My dear friends, let me tell you, how should I deal with the matter of the Shaanxi Governor's request for disaster relief?"

How to rescue disasters?

When the civil servants heard Emperor Hongde’s inquiry, they felt their scalp numb.

After looking at each other, they lowered their heads again. No matter what, they just shrank their heads and hid in the crowd!

On the other side.

Because the matter is not yours, although many military officers are also bowing their heads and silently speaking, their faces are all relaxed.

It forms a sharp contrast with the civil servants who are deeply frightened by their grudges.

The eyes of the civil servants and colleagues next to him were full of teasing.

Let you read the jokes of our military officers when the army was defeated last year. What’s wrong with retribution!

As for what the commentary says, the victims and disaster relief workers, in the hearts of many military officers, it is the court's business, and what does it have to do with me?

Above, Emperor Hongde naturally took the performance of both sides into his eyes.

In disappointment, I couldn't help but sigh deeply.

It is said that officials serve the country and the people, but how many people can do it in the court at present?

a long time.
Chapter completed!
