After another two days, the sun finally started to shine, the clouds cleared and the rain began to fall. It was a rare good weather.

It's just that the sunshine has finally become cooler. Even just after noon, there is a hint of coolness in the air, and it is no longer as hot as before.

Yuan'er had time to look for Shi Jin again, and quietly lied in her ear, showing off the reward given by the second young master.

Shi Jin's eyebrows relaxed and she was making shoes for her brother while listening to Yuan'er's chatter.

As the topic turned, Yuan'er suddenly remembered something, "Sister Shi Jin, do you know General Ling Yaoling of General Weiyuan's Mansion?"

When she mentioned the name, Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and the image of a shirtless and sweaty general suddenly appeared in his eyes. He stopped sewing and glanced sideways at Yuan'er, "I know."

"I heard that General Ling made a betrothal to the Yao Mansion yesterday, asking for Miss Zixian. I heard that the betrothal gift was worth sixty-four dollars, but it shocked a lot of people!"

Shi Jin couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of the Ling Mansion, and also thought about General Ling and Miss Zixian climbing the mountain together on the ninth day of September, fearing that there would be some entanglements at that time.

She just pursed her lips and smiled, "It's a close family."

It's a good relationship, but Little General Ling is eager to return home. If they get married, we will spend less time together and more time apart. If there are losses on the battlefield, it will probably be bad.

"Isn't that true~" Yuan'er thought deeply and whispered, "I heard that General Ling has broad shoulders and narrow waist, and is so good-looking that he is very popular with the daughter of the boudoir in the capital. Unexpectedly, I still want to live up to my cousin's expectations.

!”

Shi Jin was also happy for Miss Yao, but she was more concerned about the marriage of Miss Qi San and Miss Qi Fourth. She immediately inquired about the marriage of these two people.

"The eldest lady has been looking for a lot of portraits in the past two days for the third lady to choose. The fourth lady rarely goes out of the courtyard recently, and even Aunt Sun has kept a low profile. I don't know if these two have changed their gender.

Yuan'er replied.

Shi Jin didn't know whether he would change his gender or not, but she could guess some of Miss Fourth's thoughts.

Ever since I met Kang Shicheng last time, I was afraid that the Fourth Miss would also be knotted in her heart and would not dare to go out easily.

She drooped her eyebrows and smiled suddenly, the smile on her lips was as warm as the spring breeze, with a gentle and gentle arc, "Just listen to what happened to me, Master. It's better than us servants."

After sending Yuan'er away, Shi Jin took advantage of the fine weather to take out the things in the inner room to dry them out. Then he practiced cooking and ordering tea with Siqi for half a day, and then he had the time to put some ointment on his lower back.

The ointment sent by the second young master is refreshing and cool, with some emerald green in it. When rubbed into the waist, it also brings some heat, which is very useful.

The injury on her waist has healed well, but she can't bend down for a long time, otherwise she will always show some soreness.

.

September twenty-seven.

Due to continuous rain in the south, the Jialing River opened a hole in its bank, and all the villages that originally lived on both sides were affected by the disaster. The river flowed back and flooded three nearby cities.

The autumn floods are coming now, and it seems to be more severe than in previous years. If corresponding measures are not taken, I am afraid more cities will suffer.

Nanyang Prefecture rushed eight hundred miles away and sent a memorial to Beijing, asking for the opening of warehouses to release grain and appease the victims. Emperor Tianyuan was also worried after reading the memorial. The civil and military officials in the court were not sure which one to send to the south.

According to Emperor Tianyuan's thinking, chaos leads to change. Although this matter is a natural disaster, if it is not handled properly, it will be the reason for arousing public anger.

In addition, the weather is getting colder. If these victims are not properly resettled before winter, they may starve to death and suffer from frostbite.

One by one, each one weighed heavily on Emperor Tianyuan's heart, and he had to treat it with caution.

Therefore, not only did the disaster have to be rescued, but the prince was also sent to do it himself.

However, in recent days, the prince has been recovering from his injuries, and the second prince has also been involved in the Dali Temple trial. They are all tired of fighting in the court and dare not make any big moves.

The rest of the princes were either too young or too old to be of great use, so none of them could do anything.

Just when Emperor Tianyuan was undecided, the fifth prince Xiao Ji Mao recommended himself and set foot in the court.

"My son heard that there was a sudden natural disaster around Nanyang Mansion, the people were displaced, and people's livelihood was very difficult. Therefore, I specifically asked my father to allow me to go to Nanyang Mansion to show my great power and save the people from the fire and water." He looked sincere and bowed.

After all, there was a solemn tone of concern for the country and the people in his voice.

Emperor Tian Yuan looked at his fifth son with a complex expression. It must be said that Lao Wu had a weak temperament, but he cared about the people of the world and was famous for his benevolence and righteousness. Except...

The emperor's eyes swept over Xiao Tian's injured legs, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.

"Liangzhou, Qingyan, and Yunzhou are the three cities where the water is the most urgent. I know that Lao Wu cares about the people, but it is safe to do everything according to one's ability." Emperor Tianyuan said.

As the fifth son, he is not good at walking. If it is other errands, he can do it. But if he is saving people in a flood, he is afraid that the people will not be saved, so he must give up himself first.

"Father, the Nanyang Mansion is in danger right now! Since I have invited you to go, it is for the sake of the world, and I will handle the matter properly. Please also give me an order, so that I can arrive at Nanyang Mansion as early as possible.

Save the people from fire and water every day!"

The ministers above the court can be roughly divided into three categories: first, pure ministers, who only focus on government affairs and do not form factions for personal gain; second, those who are close to the prince; third, those who are close to the second prince.

The relationship between these three parties is complicated, and they all stand on the country and the country. In the past, they had different opinions on various political disputes and were incompatible with each other.

But the fifth prince is an exception.

Everyone knows that only a healthy person can stand on the top of the temple. Ever since the fifth prince broke his leg when he was fifteen years old, he had no chance of being in that position.

Seeing the fifth prince and Emperor Tianyuan arguing about disaster relief, the crown prince and grand master Yao Zhizhang was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, the fifth prince has both talent and virtue, and he also cares about the world. I think he is worthy of this position!"

As soon as Yao Zhizhang stood up, officials who were close to him appeared side by side, and they all agreed with his words.

In addition, the remonstrating minister Hu Miaohe was related to the Yao family by marriage, so he also came out from the Jinluan Palace to support Yao Zhizhang.

The rest, who were either close to the prince or close to the second prince, had no objection to the fifth prince's relief work.

There was also a faction of the second prince, who even thought of taking over this job for the second prince, but Emperor Tianyuan just put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Okay! Although the fifth prince is ill, he cares about the people of the world. I consider it a great blessing for me."

Changde, Xuan Gu's decree, ordered the fifth prince Xiao Shi to leave Nanyang Mansion to be responsible for supervising the Jialing River disaster relief. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated one million taels of silver for this disaster relief!"

The fifth prince, Xiao Yan, straightened his robes and knelt down in the hall with his forehead on the ground to express his gratitude for his father's kindness.

The plan was decided, and in full view of the public, he was helped to stand up from the ground by Eunuch Changde, who was beside His Majesty, and then sat upright on one side of the wheelchair. He was in a state of embarrassment as he walked and stopped.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Chang." He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, aware of the various looks directed at him by the ministers. There were bulging veins on the back of the hand he placed in his sleeve, but with a smile on his lips, he tried his best to maintain the noble son of the Tian family.
