Shen Lingye and Qinghan and their entourage left from Liushutun in the early morning of the ninth day of the fifth month, because they were accompanied by Qin Zhixuan, so they didn't dare to rush as hard as before.
Besides, they didn't have anything to do to rush back, so they didn't have to rush on the road.
When passing by Dongning County, Qinghan also went into the city to take a look at the dim sum shop and arranged it there.
The group got up early in the morning and hurried, stopped to rest at noon when it was hot, continued to walk in the afternoon when it was cool, and walked a little longer in the evening before resting.
In this way, it took more than four days on the road, and on the morning of May 13, I came to Fucheng.
On the Fucheng side, the congregation was not informed in advance, so no one came to greet them.
This is better, Shen Lingye didn't like to make it so grand, so the group drove into the city and went straight to the post house.
I settled down at the post house to rest for a while, and after lunch, I went to the Qin Mansion to deliver the letter.
Qin San and Huo Jingqi immediately rushed to the post house after receiving the news, "Your Highness, Fourth Sister, why did you come back so early."
Didn't you say that you would stay at home for a while longer?"
Qin San asked curiously as soon as they met.
"There's nothing to do at home, everything is settled in order, I don't know what it's like in the capital, come back quickly."
Qinghan naturally didn't talk about the troublesome things in Liushutun, so he only understated it.
"Well, it's good to come back, it's really a coincidence, I received news from the capital this morning.
It is said that Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion are in trouble, first drought and locust plague, and now the disaster is already somewhat serious.
His Majesty was very anxious and sent people to help the disaster, but it is said that the situation is not very good.
His Majesty was so worried that he had ordered officials at all levels in the capital to save money and donate food for disaster relief.
Huo Jingqi said with a solemn expression.
In these days, the common people rely on the sky for food, and once they encounter natural disasters, the lives of the people will be greatly affected, and a large number of refugees will go out to flee the famine, which will cause all kinds of dongàn.
Therefore, natural disasters must be caused, so every time there is a famine, the imperial court will send people to provide relief.
"Do you know who was sent to the disaster relief this time?"
When Shen Lingye heard the news, he couldn't help frowning, remembering that he had gone to deal with the Yellow River flood at that time.
The emperor sent officials and allocated enough food to go to the disaster relief, but the result The officials perfunctorily refused to go to the site of the accident to conduct a detailed investigation, and then withheld relief food from it, resulting in the people having no food to satisfy their hunger, and I don't know how many people died of starvation.
If it weren't for Shen Lingye's thunderous means to quickly and thoroughly investigate and kill a few corrupt officials to appease the people, that flood would have caused a lot of turmoil.
This time, the drought in Baoding and Baoding was reported, and I don't know if the rest of the places have concealed it or not, and I don't know if the disaster is serious.
If the disaster is serious, and then encounters a corrupt official who does not act, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of chaos again.
"Han'er, since something happened to the court, I don't think we should stay in Liaodong for too long, if there is nothing too important here, let's try to leave for the capital as soon as possible."
Well, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with, go, follow me to find Sun Tongzhi.
Shen Lingye suddenly thought of something, and immediately couldn't sit still, so he got up directly and walked out.
"Third brother, second brother Huo, go, take a few guards and go to the mansion with me, let's sing a good show tonight and clean up those squires and rich people in Liaodong Mansion."
Shen Lingye smiled mysteriously and called Qin San to leave with Huo Jingqi.
"Han'er, you have a good rest in the post house, this way back is enough for you to be tired, delay for two days, and we will go back to the capital."
After speaking, without waiting for Qinghan to say anything, Shen Lingye took people away.
Qing Han sat there looking at Shen Lingye's back, shook his head and smiled, this person must have come up with a bad idea again.
Those squires and wealthy businessmen in Liaodong Mansion are estimated to be unlucky this time.
"Aunt Zheng, we don't have to take out all our luggage, just leave some simple ones for a day or two.
Didn't His Highness say just now that we have to leave for Beijing earlier, let's deal with it for the time being in the next few days, and when the province is leaving, we have to clean it up again. ” Qinghan saw Aunt Zheng leading Zisu and they were busy arranging the residence, so she hurriedly instructed.
Aunt Zheng was stunned, "Okay, then listen to the county lord, as long as the county lord doesn't feel wronged." ” Aunt Zheng was born in the court, and she is used to seeing pampered concubines, not to mention concubines and princesses, and even those noble ladies in the capital are required to be meticulous everywhere and as comfortable as at home.
It is really rare to see a person like Qinghan who does things casually and does not pay attention to food, clothing and enjoyment.
"What is this grievance, my aunt has never seen what kind of life I used to live in that time, and it was a problem to even eat enough, let alone live.
The three of us sisters covered a quilt, and the quilt had been stacked on top of each other for many years, and it was as hard as striking iron.
Now that I am so comfortable to eat and live in brocade clothes, and you are waiting in front and behind, where will I be wronged In my opinion, this is very good, too extravagant enjoyment, it will be blessed.
Qinghan smiled.
Aunt Zheng was slightly stunned, and nodded a little distressedly, "I can't imagine that the county lord suffered so much when he was a child, no wonder he is willing to think about others everywhere now."
Back then, the slave maid's family was also very bad, and there were many children in the family, so there was really no way, so they sold me into the palace to be a girl. ” "Although it is hard to enter the palace as an errand boy, I can finally be fed and clothed, except for the first few years when I am not used to being beaten, and then I gradually get better.

Especially when she was transferred to the queen's side as an errand boy, the queen's mother was gentle and sympathetic to the palace people, and never punished the slaves and maids, so she was happy. ” Aunt Zheng remembered the old days, and she was also a little emotional.
"I have been in the palace for 30 years in a blink of an eye, and in the first few years, my father and mother came to the capital to see me once in a year and a half, and I gave them the money I had earned and let them take it back to support their families.
But then I don't know what's wrong, there is no news, I'm waiting in the palace, I can't wait for them.
The more Aunt Zheng spoke, the more sad she became.
Qinghan sighed, in life, there is always sorrow that others can't know.
Aunt Zheng, as the aunt in charge, looks at the glory of the scenery, but in fact, she also has a sad past.
Thinking that the Zheng family couldn't live anymore, they sold their young daughter to the palace as a palace slave.
"I can't imagine that my aunt is also such a hard-working person, if my aunt doesn't dislike it, she will always stay with me in the future.
My aunt is like an elder to me, and I am quite close to my aunt, and my aunt stays by my side to support the elderly, how" When Qinghan heard Aunt Zheng say this, she couldn't help but feel sympathy, she had already admired Aunt Zheng very much, and at this moment she had more different concerns.
Aunt Zheng was also very happy to hear this, "If it can be as the county lord said, the slave and maid will naturally be happy, and from now on, the slave and maid will count on the county lord." ” The emperor sent Aunt Zheng over, initially just to teach the rules, but Aunt Zheng liked Qinghan more and more, and now she can't do without it, if she can always follow Qinghan, it will naturally be happy
