The more you wear your sister

Chapter 29

"Did you tell him?" Chu Feng asked in surprise.

"No, it's just that I was invisible and went out to play that day, and he came to look for me..." I briefly explained to Chu Feng what happened that day.

Chu Feng was silent for a moment, then comforted me and said, "It's okay, just keep your mouth shut like this, don't say anything when he asks you, let him be suspicious. The more he is uncertain about your details, the less he dares to ignore you. "

"But he's so smart, he can often see the clues from some details that I didn't notice. Dealing with such a person, I feel that the pear is very big." Thinking about Yang Jue's inhuman insight, I felt a little guilty: "Why don't we just stop relying on King Ning, okay?"

"No, whether you want it or not, he has already tied you into his chariot. King Ning went to the border to welcome you back in person, and gave you a mansion next to the mansion for you to live in. There are people waiting for you in the mansion." They were all sent by King Ning's mansion. No matter what you think, others have already identified you as someone from King Ning's side. Even if you want to set up another family, others will think that everything you do is from King Ning. Encouragement." Chu Feng frowned and said, "I used to be a general of the frontier army, and I was at least neutral in this dispute between crown princes, but now he sees that you are interested in me, so he made me a fifth-rank captain, and so on. Now, I really became one of his subordinates under King Ning."

I asked in surprise: "Aren't you one of my subordinates?"

Chu Feng shook his head: "That's not the case. Although you have been named the Immortal Protector of the Nation, you seem to have a great name and influence, but you don't actually have any real power. Zhang Guan, your original guard captain, and I are both different in terms of establishment. He is from Prince Ning’s mansion. What he told you about the future is indeed not an exaggeration, but everything must be based on the premise that King Ning will rule the world in the future. If you are executed by the gang, you will definitely be beaten to the end, and there will be no day to stand up from now on."

A strong feeling of being tricked made me deeply depressed: "Does he need to plot against me like this? I didn't say I wouldn't help him."

"You have to think about it this way, as the second son of a concubine, it is no accident that King Ning has the status he has today. Just like his father-in-law, they always hope to keep all variables firmly in their hands, and never act emotionally , and will not trust anyone."

"However, I think he trusts me very much. He will tell me many confidential things."

Chu Feng frowned: "What did he tell you?"

I think about it, Chu Feng is still very reliable, even if I tell him, I can't say that I betrayed Yang Jue, so I picked up some of the things I learned from Yang Jue and told Chu Feng.

Chu Feng thought for a moment, and then made a judgment: "These are just means for him to win people's hearts. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it has long been Sima Zhao's heart that he wants to take down the prince and replace him. I also know it well, but no one dares to mention it on the surface. As for the other secrets he told you, it seems that life is at stake, but in fact they are all empty words, unless you have iron in your hand Otherwise, no matter who you tell these words to, it will be just nonsense. Even if you betray him now and join the prince, and reveal all the secrets you know, think about it, which one of them can really Shaken to King Ning half a point?"

When I thought about it carefully, there was really none.

Nima, it's simply too insidious!I thought he was confiding in my heart, but it turns out that the whole thing is a lie!

From this, I also clearly realized that without Chu Feng, I would never have known when I was betrayed by these conspirators, so I must not let him escape!

Although the army to attack the Turks should have already moved out, Chu Feng still had to go back to Xingting Mansion to do some things like handover work and retrieval of files and documents.

In fact, his back and forth is at most ten days and half a month, but I am very reluctant. Now the relationship between the two of us can be said to be the stage of newlyweds, gluey, and sweet. She resisted not touching him, but wished she could stick to him all the time.

"You've finished the business over there, so come back soon." At the gate of the Baifu, I held his hand affectionately to say goodbye, only missing the bloody drama of "holding hands and looking at tears".

"En." Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Feng did not make any intimate gestures, but exhorted Zhang Guan who was demoted to vice captain: "Before I come back, I must take strict precautions and protect Master Xianshi. "

"Don't worry, boss." Zhang Guan obediently agreed.

I don't know what kind of magical power Chu Feng possessed, but after only a few days, he subdued Zhang Guan, who was much older than him, and bowed his head and ears to him, the captain of the guard who came by air, and obeyed his words.

I thought to myself, maybe this is the legendary person born with the halo of a commander.When I thought that such an excellent person would benefit me in vain in the future, I put aside the sadness of parting and became overjoyed again.

When Chu Feng was away, I had no choice but to play with Liu Jinqing and other princes, grandsons, literati and so on to pass the time. After returning from the lake tour this day, after everyone dispersed, Liu Jinqing came to my house for dinner as usual.

He always doesn't like to go home very much. He would rather go to various friends' houses to enjoy the autumn breeze, and sometimes even spend the night at other people's houses.Because he has a wide range of friends and there are many people who want to curry favor with him, even a meal at each family is enough for him to eat for a month without repeating the same.

As for why the son of the dignified prime minister's family doesn't like to go home so much, this is not a housework that can be understood by outsiders.

I was drinking sour plum soup in the gazebo, watching the dark clouds in the evening getting thicker and thicker... Finally, it couldn't hold back the heavy rain.

I was glad that the rain had dilute the heat of early summer, but I heard Liu Jinqing shaking his head and sighing in an unpleasant way.

This surprised me. Generally speaking, at such a time, talented Liu would happily come up with some sour poems such as "The wind blows the lotus leaves, and the rain hits the plantains". How did they switch to the sad spring and autumn mode today? ?

"Brother Jinqing, why are you so sad?" I asked out the doubts in my heart, and Liu Jinqing smiled bitterly: "Sorry, brother Yu has something on his mind, which disturbed your pleasure."

"What's bothering you so much? Could it be that your hen has dystocia?" I made a joke, but Liu Jinqing didn't laugh, but looked at the rain curtain at a 45-degree angle melancholy, and said, "In the past half a month, Xiazhou, Xiangyang The torrential rain has never stopped in the area, the floods are merciless, millions of victims are starving and homeless, and countless people are drowned and starved to death. Every time I think about this, Brother Yu... oh..."

If he doesn't tell me about it, I really don't know.But even if I know it now, I can't empathize with him as much as he does about a natural disaster that happened in this strange age without intuitive photos and news reports.

It was Liu Jinqing who once again refreshed his image in my mind. I looked at him in amazement: "I didn't expect you to care so much about the suffering of people's livelihood. I thought you could only recite poems and fight against others."

Liu Jinqing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People are not grass and trees, so how can you be ruthless? Brother Yu, why don't you want to do a little bit for the people of Li, but..." He suddenly looked at me eagerly: "Recently, there are rumors in the whole Luoyang city , Said that you, my virtuous brother, have great supernatural powers, you can predict the future, I wonder if my virtuous brother can predict when the rainstorm will stop?"

"I'm not as good as you think." I asked me what I was doing, and I'm not a weather forecaster.

He looked very disappointed: "Brother Yu sees that in your daily conversation, you seem to know everything in the sky and on earth. Why is it that when it is about people's livelihood and suffering, my virtuous brother keeps silent and refuses to answer?"

I rub it, if I knew I would shoot myself in the foot, I would not show off the heretical knowledge I got from watching "One Hundred Thousand Whys" when I was a child.

Even with modern advanced technology, I can’t completely predict natural disasters. I really can’t help it. I might as well change the subject first: "The power of the sky is unpredictable, and I can’t say for sure. Anyway, if it rains enough, it will stop naturally. Instead of going Instead of guessing when the rain will stop, it is better to think about how to provide disaster relief after the rain stops.”

"It's true." Liu Jinqing said, "Brother Yu has decided to donate all the 500 taels of silver from his private house to the victims. Although it is a drop in the bucket, at least it will allow the victims to eat a few more meals."

Unlike novels and TV dramas that used tens of thousands of taels of silver bills as pocket money, 500 taels was not a small amount in the impoverished Chen Dynasty. .I think about the property that King Ning gave me that I can’t bring back even if I die, why don’t I also give some to those in need: “I don’t have any money left, so I just want to donate 200 taels .”

After I finished speaking, I thought of a certain Cross Society in the Celestial Dynasty, and asked, "I heard that...every time the imperial government allocates disaster relief money, it is always exploited by corrupt officials. In the end, it can really be used on the victims. It’s only two-tenths, the money we donated won’t just enrich those corrupt officials in vain, right?”

In that case, I might as well save myself and buy more delicious food.

"No, this time the person in charge of disaster relief is Mr. Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. He is an upright official known for his stern and selfless face, and his reputation of being honest and caring for the people is well-known in the government and the public." Liu Jinqing said, "every time after a severe flood, there are always infectious diseases everywhere. , This time, in order to prepare for a rainy day, Mr. Zhao will go back to Beijing to buy medicinal materials in person, and Brother Yu will hand over the money to Mr. Zhao face to face."

When I mentioned this, I remembered that every time a typhoon storm caused floods, the school would always send us some promotional pamphlets on post-disaster epidemic prevention, and I just took it out to suggest: "After the disaster, people are prone to get sick, and most of them are It is caused by drinking unclean water. As long as you boil the water every time before drinking, and then dispose of human and animal corpses and rotting garbage in time, you can avoid large-scale epidemics.”

In this era, it seems that only those who are more particular can boil water to make tea. Most common people drink spring water and well water directly. There is at least one advantage of backward productivity in ancient times, that is, there is no industrial pollution, and the water quality is generally good, so Under normal circumstances, drinking unboiled water is not a serious problem, but if you still drink unboiled water according to your usual habits during floods, accidents will easily occur.

"Brother Yu has heard of...disposing of corpses in a timely manner, but why drink boiled water?" Liu Jinqing said that he couldn't understand.

"Let's put it this way, there are many tiny eggs and... and bugs in the water that are invisible to the naked eye. Boiling the water for a while will kill the bugs in it." He probably didn't have the concept of germs, so I won't mentioned.

Some people may think that I am talking nonsense, but Liu Jinqing has been with me for a long time, and she still believes in my words, and immediately said that she would tell Mr. Zhao truthfully.

"However, if you tell the truth like this, ordinary people don't pay much attention to it, especially those who are used to being sloppy. Why don't you put it another way." I thought for a while: "Just say, those who drowned in the flood There are a lot of people and animals, and their grievances linger. The water is full of their grievances. People can easily get evil spirits into their bodies after drinking or soaking in such water. Only fire can drive away the evil spirits in the water, so boiled water is the It's clean, and you won't get sick if you drink it."
