Chapter 47
: The Provincial Examination Explains the Yuan Dynasty
When Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang arrived outside the city, they ordered people to quickly set up a shed to store food, and then asked the six sons to build a small shed next to it. Two doctors from the prime minister's house and the doctor hired at a high price sat in it for treatment. .
"After eating, go to the side and you can see a doctor for free!" Luluo Hongye and Liuzi said enthusiastically to the refugees.
Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang were making porridge. Today, the Prime Minister's Office brought a lot of food. If you save some money, it will be enough for everyone.
The skinny old man looked at the white rice in the bowl and was very moved. He knelt down in front of Shen Jingyuan with a plop and cried bitterly: "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"
Shen Jingyuan quickly helped him up: "No need, go and eat."
The old man nodded hurriedly while wiping his tears.
Most of the porridge shacks in other places have clear soup and little water, and the better ones have mixed rice and rice. Only Shen Jingyuan's soup has more rice and less soup and can still treat a doctor.
Looking at the long queue in front of them, there are women holding small children in their arms, and there are also strong men carrying their grandmothers on their backs. They are not crowded and noisy, but are grateful and carefully abide by the order.
"Who is that next to Miss Zhao? You are so handsome!"
"It must be the young Marquis of the Weihai Marquis Mansion. I heard that the two adults intend to get married!"
"Nonsense, that's not what He Lianjing looks like. Look at that person's features and eyes as if he has some blood from outside the border."
"Yes, what you said is quite similar!"
"But Zhao Jinjin is so close to his foreigner. He really doesn't have any respect for himself."
"That man's name is Li Shang. He is the Prime Minister's favorite disciple. I heard that he is very good at reading and has a bright future. He may be the prospective son-in-law that Prime Minister Zhao has chosen. Stop talking so much."
Such whispers continued all day long. Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang turned a deaf ear and only concentrated on doing their own things. It was already dusk by the time they finished dealing with all the miscellaneous things.
Seeing that most people were temporarily relieved of hunger, and the sick patients also had some medicine to hang on to their lives, the two of them felt relieved.
They were the last ones to go back. Shen Jingyuan opened the curtain in the carriage and turned around. Dusk enveloped Kyoto. The refugees outside the city watched them leave under the setting sun. Everyone's face was so simple and kind, but They all had their families destroyed due to floods and became filled with resentment.
Nowadays, doing good deeds in a day has become more scattered after all.
Having accumulated grudges for a long time is not good for the world. I hope that the previous government can discuss and make a decision as soon as possible.
Shen Jingyuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and was already a little exhausted. Hongye was extremely worried and stepped forward to rub her legs and shoulders. Luluo brought a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
This is what Shen Jingyuan usually likes to drink, but now she looked at the precious things in the bowl and frowned and pushed it away: "Let's be frugal and vegetarian during this period."
Things that were usually mouth-watering became unappetizing.
Now that the flood has stopped, it depends on how the emperor Yun Min handles the aftermath.
The sixth day of June.
The emperor issued a flood control order and sent ten outstanding water supervisors to the south to rescue the people and clear the floods. In addition, the treasury released a million dan of grain and a disaster relief fund of 6 million gold. Supplementing the treatment of plague will inevitably control the flood plague, thereby reducing the casualties of the people in the world.
The seventh day of June.
The adopted son of General Qin was ordered to lead an army of 10,000 to escort the Water Supervisor all the way to the south. When seeing him off, the people of Kyoto knelt down to see each other off, praying that General Qin would have a smooth journey and that the Water Supervisor would eliminate the plague and floods in one fell swoop.
The tenth day of June.
After passing the imperial examination and provincial examination, Li Shang, a disciple of the Zhao family, ranked first and became the first person to pass the Yuan Dynasty during the Changhe period of the Dayun Dynasty. Because he won two yuan in a row, his conduct was good and he helped refugees outside the city every day, he was a first-class family in Kyoto.
Many of the daughters secretly inquired secretly, and many aristocratic families were waiting for the results of the third round of examinations. If Li Shang still ranked in the top ten, they planned to force his son-in-law to be married.
June thirty.
Good news came from the south. Floods had been controlled, food relief had been distributed, and many casualties had been reduced to a minimum. The water supervisor led the refugees to dredge the mouth of the reservoir, clear out the sunken trees, and begin to build embankments. They also built protective banks along the river banks to completely control the floods.
, the imperial physician guarded the places where the plague was rampant, burned everything that the patients came into contact with, and separated the severity of the disease into separate care and treatments. Mugwort repels mosquitoes and disperses the virus, so as to suppress the spread of the disease to the greatest extent.
"It's great. The south is now stable this time." He Lianjing took a sip of pear wine and sighed, "It would be great if I could lead troops there."
"There will always be a chance. Are you in a hurry?" Li Shang shook his head and smiled.
In the courtyard of the primary school, He Lianjing easily broke the willow branch beside him, and the blue and white hairband on the back of his head fluttered in the wind. He was quite high-spirited and said: "Siqing, a man should make contributions and make achievements. He shouldn't drink flower wine here."
Siqing is the name given to Li Shang by Mr. Shu. He Lianjing actually doesn't like it very much because he always feels that the name is too girly and not like a son's name. However, Li Shang likes it quite much and He Lianjing calls him every time.
When giving a name, you should be reminded: "Qing Zhong, my nickname is Si Qing."
"If you were less stubborn, you might actually be able to go." Li Shang joked: "Isn't it enough that Fu Wenjin has been teased by you five or six times? What's the use of throwing him into the Lotus Lake and hiding him from me now?
Madam Weihaihou is afraid that she will send someone to come to capture you soon and take you back."
He Lianjing bared his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid. As long as that beast suffers, it will be worth it."
Li Shang disagreed and said: "You have only been injured for a few days, so why are you being so mean now?"
He Lianjing threw away the willow branch in his hand, grabbed the wine bottle on the table and drank heavily. After a while, he casually wiped the wine from his mouth: "Siqing, I should be the one to clean up this scum."
"Her mother has been entering the palace these days. I heard that she went to see the Queen Mother. Everyone can see her obvious thoughts. Chaohua has no father and mother. If the Queen Mother is in charge of the marriage, I, and
Any room?"
He Lianjing looked at Li Shang seriously, with a stupefying determination in his eyes.
"Chaohua was summoned to the palace today by the Queen Mother." He lowered his voice, "You tell me what to do."
Cining Palace.
Several maids were in the palace, the maids knelt down and fanned themselves, the eunuchs were quietly changing the food in the palace, the luminous pearl curtain worth a thousand gold shook, the amber jasper cup in the palace shone with light, and the musician behind the pearl curtain was playing
She had been playing the lingling guqin non-stop for two hours at that time, and her fingertips already had bloody marks and the pain was unbearable. She had to separate her mind and quietly glance at the person sleeping on the soft couch.
The woman on the soft couch is nearly forty, wearing a purple palace dress embroidered with large peonies, and a dense collection of gold hairpins and jade buttons on her head. Her white hands are being dyed with cardamom, and the silk and gold gauze quilt on the gold pillars are
The wind blew across her beautiful face, confirming that she had fallen asleep, and the violinist breathed a sigh of relief and stopped playing.
"Did Aijia ask you to stop?"
