Chapter 564: A pile of mud supported the wall
Liu Yunxiang frowned and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. Instead, he turned around and went to Yan'er and Xingyi's room in the east. The two children were sleeping soundly. Jinyan was in front of the Luohan bed and was about to sleep.
Down.
Liu Yunxiang said that she would stay here tonight and let Jinyan go back to her room and have a good sleep.
"Girl, are you and His Highness... okay?" Jin Yan was a little worried.
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Of course it's okay, he and I... are fine."
After Jin Yan left, Liu Yunxiang covered the two children with quilts and lay down on the Arhat bed. In fact, she felt quite uncomfortable. She treated Yan Mu sincerely, but he still had this knot in his heart. If he had not lost his memory, she would
She must have a quarrel with him. She has abandoned him, but he has also abandoned her. She can let go of her knot, so why can't he. She also wants to ask him if this knot will never be untied for the rest of her life. Really?
If we can't get rid of them for the rest of our lives, then...then why bother to stay together.
It's just that he has lost his memory, and she can't explain it to him clearly.
Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang came out of the east room, and Yan Mu also came out of the west room.
"Are you going to the Yamen?" Liu Yunxiang asked.
"The two murder cases should be settled, so that the emperor can feel at ease with me."
"Well, the murderer has been brought to justice, and it is indeed time to end it. However, you should have breakfast first before going to the Yamen."
"No, I'll go to the Yamen to eat."
"oh."
Both of them were a little embarrassed. Yan Mu nodded to Liu Yunxiang, turned around and left first.
Liu Yunxiang frowned. It was unclear what happened between the two of them at the moment, so he simply put it aside and didn't mention it.
She went to Mo Zhai after breakfast and left the news with the clerk. When Ruan Lingyu came over, the clerk would pass it on to him.
At this time, the street was in a mess. Liu Yunxiang stood at the door and saw many people dressed as scholars wearing plain robes and square scarves on the street. They looked angry and shouted something.
"The Jiangnan Mansion collapsed, killing ten people, and the court must give us an explanation!"
"You are the future pillar of the imperial court, you can't die for no reason!"
"This autumn, many students are sleeping outside and cannot study and prepare for the exam. Since the court doesn't pay attention to us, then we won't take the exam either!"
"Yes, let's stop taking the exam!"
Liu Yunxiang looked back and forth, but couldn't see the end. There were at least tens of thousands of people marching in the parade. It seemed that the collapse of the Jiangnan Mansion was really a big deal.
"Yesterday, some scholars came over to buy pens and ink. I heard that they were going to march and asked the court to give an explanation." The shopkeeper of the study sighed.
"For those who have no place to live and are living in difficulty, the court has not given them any accommodation?"
"I didn't see any movement from the court. Only the fourth prince and the people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing were digging at the Jiangnan Mansion. I heard that eight corpses had been dug up, and there were two more buried underneath. The rain has poured down on them for the past few days.
He must be dead. But the fourth prince said that he would dig it out dead or alive, and even took the lead in digging it out himself. The princes and the people all thought of him well."
Liu Yunxiang squinted her eyes. She really wanted to know who the master behind Qin Shengrui was.
"If nothing else, this is also an opportunity for our study."
"How to say?"
Liu Yunxiang pondered for a moment and said: "Although our study is backed by Lingyun, it really can't be ranked among the major study halls in Shengjing. In this way, you can put a table outside our study and put some paper, ink, pen and inkstone on it. Don't
It's too good, don't be too bad. Put a basket next to it, put some dry food in it, and leave a sign on it. These are all provided by our store for free. If you need them, you can pick them up yourself."
"Ah?" The shopkeeper looked at Liu Yunxiang with a crazy expression, "Then they will all be sold out in a while."
“We’ll continue after we’ve finished grabbing it.”
"But I'm afraid that they don't really need it, or they want to take advantage of it and take a lot at once, even if they don't even need it. Then this hole will be too big, and we will suffer a loss."
"You have also seen that the literati are actually very united. As long as someone spreads the word that our Mo Studio provides free pens, inks, paper, inkstones and food to needy students, this is so new that it will soon spread among the literati.
, the reputation of our Ink Studio has been established. Although we are losing money now, we have to look at the long term, and there is still half a month until autumn, so the loss will not be much."
A businessman's profit-heavy approach is obviously not profitable at the moment. As for the long-term, it's really hard to say. But if the boss said so, he will do it. After all, the loss is not a loss to his wallet.
"I'll make arrangements right away."
"Remember, literati value face. When they take something, don't look outside. As for those who take a lot or make trouble, the polite explanation is that you can't do bad things with good intentions."
"Yes, I remember."
Liu Yunxiang looked at the disciples crowding towards the west, as if something was wrong. She took Zijin and followed behind the disciples, but there were too many people in front of them and she couldn't squeeze in.
"Girl, let's go to the teahouse over there to watch."
As Zijin shielded the people next to her, the two squeezed into the teahouse. They asked for a private room on the second floor. They opened the window and saw someone standing on a stone pier at the west end of the street, shouting to the disciples.
.
"Don't worry, everyone, our people are still digging, and I promise you that we will never give up!"
The one who shouted was the fourth prince Qin Shengrui. He was covered in mud, his face and hands were stained. This look was shown to the disciples. They must have thought that he had also participated in the excavation, instead of just standing aside with his hands behind his back to show off.
.
"It's been raining for the past few days, and the terrain in that place is so low that people must have drowned long ago," Youjuzi said.
"Whether they are dead or alive, they must be dug out and handed over to their parents and family members," Qin Shengrui shouted.
When it comes to parents and family, the elders present are a little moved.
"My Highness knows that you have suffered a lot these days, but the imperial court has not ignored you and is working hard to find ways to accommodate you. It is only because of the ruthlessness of this natural disaster. You will all be the pillars of the country from now on, and I cherish your talents and have already told Sheng Sheng clearly.
The major inns in Beijing must try their best to accept the homeless people who have nowhere to live, and cannot take the opportunity to increase the rent. Your Highness has a private courtyard in Dongcheng that has vacated thirty or forty rooms, which can accommodate hundreds of children.
Those who are really difficult can live there, and there will be food there. Of course, this is not enough. His Highness will go to other court officials and ask them to provide money, strength, and a place, so that everyone can prepare for the exam with peace of mind.
"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples below applauded one after another, praising the fourth prince for sincerely thinking about the disciples.
Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes. If Qin Shengrui vacated his own courtyard, it would be impossible for other officials to remain indifferent. They would naturally take out their unused courtyards to accept the children. But as soon as he said this today, the other officials' actions became his
Achievements.
These few words can only be said by a wise and strategic person.
At this time, Liu Yunxiang also noticed someone standing next to Qin Shengrui. She was wearing a plain dress and stood there like a beautiful jasmine flower.
Liu Yunxiang laughed out loud, it turned out to be Jiang Yunying, and she was the master behind Qin Shengrui.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. First of all, Jiang Yunying has brains, and secondly, she has the beauty to make Qin Shengrui listen to her. In addition, she is about to marry Qin Shengrui, and the husband is honorable and the wife is noble, so she will naturally help him plan.
Qin Shengrui said a lot, and the disciples below all clapped their hands and applauded. His move really won the hearts of the people, especially the hearts of these literati, and also allowed the emperor to see his ability. At the same time, in such a comparison, the third prince
What's worse is that the emperor will turn his attention to cultivating the third prince to him.
They are all legitimate sons, so the emperor naturally wants to cultivate and use them.
As soon as Qin Shengrui finished speaking, a soldier from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing came to report. He looked very excited and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, good news, there is still one of the officials alive!"
Qin Shengrui's eyes widened, "Are you still alive?"
"Yes, we have been rescued!"
