Since returning to Zhuangzi, Su He has subdued the people in Zhuangzi with vigorous means, and by the way, subdued Wang An, and asked him to help him inquire about the news in the mansion.
Aunt Xue hadn't done anything in the past few years, but now she suddenly appeared, and she didn't need to think about who was behind the instigation. He was looking forward to the expression of his "good" cousin when he received his big gift.
Suhe lived a leisurely life here, and his legs were healing quickly, but the news didn't get out. Now that the whole Zhuangzi was tamed by him, no one dared to spread the news.
While Su He was recuperating, a lot of things happened in Beijing. First, there was news that the second young master of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion and the Miss Biao at home fell in love with each other. The third prince privately decided for life.
The rumors spread more and more widely, and the rumors became more outrageous. Many people knew that the "Xiuwaihuizhong" cousin hooked up many men secretly.
These are naturally the news released by Su He. Liu Jingshu loves her reputation the most. Because of this, she first provoked the relationship between Weiyuanhou and Li Shi, which aroused Weiyuanhou's dissatisfaction, and then used Zhenbeihou to frame her. Zhou Yunze, now the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has become the laughing stock of people in the capital, but she, a cousin, is still safely behind the scenes, how could Su He give her this opportunity.
Just as the news became more and more intense, news came from the south that due to years of famine in Huaiyang, the worst flood in history broke out this year, and there were refugees rebelling.
The news can be conveyed to the audience, one can imagine how serious the situation is this time. It didn't take long for the holy decree to order the prince and the third prince to go to the disaster relief.
Su He, who had been cultivating in Zhuangzi, had a smile on his face when he heard the news. He summoned a servant, quickly wrote some words on the letter paper, and ordered the other party to send it to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in three days.
When the people went down, Su He ordered the dog to pack up and salute. An hour later, he left Zhuangzi with the dog and a tenant named Zhang Ji.
While Su He was on the move, Liu Jingshu's personal servant girl was packing her luggage in a small courtyard of Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, and asked in confusion, "Miss, why are we leaving Hou's Mansion? You will... in two years' time?" Although she didn't say it, the meaning was very clear.
As the cousin of the Hou Mansion, Liu Jingshu may not be as good as a real lady who can marry a noble family, but with the name of the Hou Mansion, it is still possible to find a good marriage.
Without the support of the Hou Mansion, it would be impossible for Liu Jingshu, a lonely orphan girl, to have a better marriage.
Liu Jingshu looked at everyone busy, she was very satisfied with her personal servant girl Chunhe, and she didn't mind mentioning her a little bit, "The reputation of the Hou's mansion has been ruined now, and such news came out before. It's not good to stay in the Hou's mansion any longer, why not take this opportunity of visiting relatives and leave the Hou's mansion."
Seeing Chunhe's bewildered look, Liu Jingshu didn't continue. She had the memory of her previous life, so she naturally knew that it was very dangerous for the prince and the third prince to go to Huaiyang for disaster relief. The prince also got an epidemic and his body completely collapsed.
She has also been waiting for this opportunity. After her rebirth, she met the third prince by accident. She could feel that the third prince had friendship for her, but this friendship was not enough for her to give up some interests for herself.
This trip to Huaiyang is an excellent opportunity for her. As long as she uses it well, the third prince's friendship with her will definitely be deepened.
In Liu Jingshu's eyes, there is an unknown ambition. In her previous life, she watched that scumbag marry the princess, who was extremely noble, but she was bullied. It was all because of power. As long as the third prince fell in love with her, she might not be able to. Becoming the most honorable woman in the world, she can remember that in the previous life until her death, the prince did not ascend the throne, but her health became worse and worse.
Liu Jingshu has never talked about these small thoughts with outsiders. It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that, except for dealing with Zhou Yunze herself, the rest is done through the hands of that stupid woman, Aunt Xue, to leave a gentle and kind heart for herself. reputation.
In the 19th year of Zhaoming Dynasty, Huaiyang was in chaos. The original flood was suppressed by the local government and turned into a rebellion. Those who managed to survive the famine lost everything. Facing the oppression of the government, they rose up to resist, and it was called Huaiyang in history. chaos.
Weize County is a place with severe disasters in Huaiyang. After arriving here, Su He knew why the imperial court sent the crown prince and the third prince together.
The 18 counties in Huaiyang, with Yunze as the center, have experienced floods, droughts, and locust plagues in three years.
However, the magistrate of Huaiyang Prefecture was afraid of being discovered by the higher authorities, and kept whitewashing the peace. It was not until this time that seven of the eighteen counties were completely submerged in the recent flood, and the people were destitute.
The reason why Su He came to Weize County first was because he remembered that in the plot, after this flood, a plague would be discovered, and the genius doctor Zhang Sijing would appear in the plagued area.
In the plot, Zhang Sijing once said that before he met the protagonist and his party, he had an accident in Weize County, and Su He planned to visit here first.
The situation in Weize County was even worse than what Su He thought. There were almost no pedestrians on the roads, the houses were in dilapidated condition, and the ground was in a mess after the flood and no one cleaned it up.
"Master, why don't we go back first." Gou'er was timid, and was always worried about encountering robbers along the way. Su He didn't speak, but frowned, as if he was listening sideways.
After standing there for a while, Su He started to walk forward. He went directly to a nearby house and started knocking on the door. The yard was very quiet, as if there was no one there. Su He signaled to Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji approached knowingly, and said, "Is anyone home? My son is tired and asked for a bowl of water."
Zhang Ji was originally a tenant, and he didn't know how to be tactful. He was able to say these words because he usually heard what other servants said when he stayed overnight. I don't know if Zhang Ji's voice is simple and honest, or the other party knows that Su He and his party are not good at it. After leaving, after patting the door for a while, the door opened.
It was a middle-aged man who opened the door. Seeing Su He and his party, he relaxed a little. After all, Su He looked like a rich man with no power to restrain himself.
"Excuse me, I saw the servants coming here and found that there are few people around here, so I want to ask Mr. what's going on?" Su He asked, pretending to be a scholar who didn't understand the world.
The world already respected scholars, and Su He's good looks gave him an advantage. The man who opened the door unknowingly let go of his guard, but his face turned red with embarrassment at Su He's words.
