Chapter 870 Changing Physique
Thinking of this, Xia Zihan broke out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, she thought of this, otherwise... instead of helping the Shen family, she would be harming the Shen family.
The Shen family, old and young, are all weak scholars. Once they meet a hungry refugee on the way, they are not allowed to have their bones ripped apart and eaten?
Her heart trembled for a long time when she thought that the Shen family members were almost accidentally killed by her and Chu Jingqi's kindness.
When Mrs. Shen learned that the Shen family could return to the capital, she burst into tears of joy and was so excited that she didn't notice anything was wrong with Xia Zihan for a moment.
When Mrs. Shen was excited for a while, wiped away her tears, and pulled Xia Zihan to thank her, Xia Zihan's expression had returned.
Mrs. Shen said excitedly, "Princess, it is really a blessing for our Shen family to meet you and the prince. My old lady will not hide it from the princess. When the old man was alive, all he thought about was returning to the capital. But back then, the Dou family He doesn’t have much say in the court. The old man is afraid of causing trouble to his nephew, so he doesn’t say anything and just looks forward to..."
"Until everyone left, they couldn't return to the capital."
"I thought that Uncle Ji Shen would be able to return to the capital when he recovered, but who knew that he was actually transferred to Ningfeng City, which is thousands of miles away from the capital."
"Fortunately, your Uncle Shen has a good nature. It doesn't matter where he is an official. However, it is the old man's wish for the Shen family to return to the capital. Sometimes your Uncle Shen thinks about it, just sitting there alone in his study, drinking wine, and Once, when he was drunk, he hugged his wife and cried, saying that he was useless and could not even fulfill his father’s last wish.”
"My child, if the Shen family can return to the capital, you and the prince will be the great benefactors of the Shen family. Even if my old lady dies, she will rest in peace."
Mrs. Shen's heartfelt cry made Xia Zihan's heart sink, and she swallowed all the words that came to her mouth.
After returning to the inn, Xia Zihan nestled in Chu Jingqi's arms and told Chu Jingqi her worries, "Aqi, either the transfer order will be sent a few months later, or it will be sent at the beginning of next month.
In short, everyone in the Shen family must leave the dangerous place in Jiangnan before June.
And now, it’s mid-March.
If it is urgent to send the transfer order from eight hundred miles away, then half a month is enough, plus the days for flying pigeons to send messages, the total is twenty days. Calculating from this, the Shen family can leave in mid-April at most. Ningfeng City.
On the road, we can leave the Jiangnan area in one and a half months, which happens to be June at that time.
And if she remembered correctly, chaos broke out in Jiangnan in late June. By July, there was great chaos. In August, there were a lot of casualties, including cannibalism. At that time, the plague also began to spread.
Therefore, if the Shen family wants to return to Beijing, April is the best time to do so.
Chu Jingqi's expression was also very solemn, and there was a sharp shock behind her back.
He still remembered the drought, but it was not related to the relocation of the Shen family. Fortunately, Ayu thought of this, otherwise, he would not be helping the Shen family, but harming the Shen family.
Chu Jingqi patted Xia Zihan on the back and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Shen family will be fine."
He stood up and walked to the table, "I will write another letter to Dad and ask him to apply for the transfer order as soon as possible, and then send someone 800 miles away to deliver the transfer order urgently."
Chu Jingqi immediately wrote a second letter to express what he meant. Not only that, he also briefly mentioned the drought in Jiangnan this year.
It is now March. If there is really a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, it is time for the people in Qintian Prison to figure it out.
As long as the court makes preparations in advance, he believes that the drought will soon pass. He has great trust in the emperor's ability.
Chu Jingqi rolled up the letter, called the secret guard, and ordered him to fly a pigeon to deliver the letter to Chu Xuanyu.
After the secret guard left, Chu Jingqi said, "If there is a drought this year, it will not be safe for Uncle Shen and his family to stay here. It is better to get them away in advance."
The Shen family, old and young, are all weak scholars. Once there is drought and chaos here, and the people get into trouble, they are afraid that everyone in the Shen family will die here.
What's more, there is a Qian Tongpan watching eagerly next to him.
Chu Jingqi curled her lips and said, "Just in time, leave the troubles here to Qian Tongpan."
Qian Tongpan got a sum of grain in his hands, and even where he hid it was discovered by Chuan Qiong. Originally, he planned to use this matter to find out Qian Tongpan and send the Qian family to the jail. Go and spend the rest of your life in jail.
But now, he changed his mind and decided to ask Qian Tongsuan to take over Master Shen's position.
If a drought breaks out in the south of the Yangtze River, Ningfeng City will inevitably be affected. At that time, as long as he sends someone to reveal that there is food in the Qian family's cellar, the Qian family's mansion will not be destroyed by a group of hungry and anxious people. go.
When she thought that the Qian family would be forced into desperation by a group of common people, Chu Jingqi's lips curled up, "Forget it, seeing that Qian Tongsuan still has some use value, I will temporarily spare his dog. Life is better.”
However, what awaits him soon is life worse than death.
Since there was no need to punish Qian Tongpan, Chu Jingqi decided to return to Beijing in two days.
Before returning to the capital, Chu Jingqi made a special trip to the Shen family and told Mr. Shen that when he went to the capital to take office, he must move the whole family to the capital together. No one should be left here, and the house would be sold. .
Although Chu Jingqi's instructions made Mr. Shen feel puzzled. Originally, after he learned that the transfer order would be released in May, he planned to go to the capital alone to take up the post. He was afraid that the old lady would not be able to bear the heat on the road in May and June.
When the weather gets cooler, the family will move to the capital in September.
However, Prince Chu kept saying today that the transfer order would be sent in April. Although Mr. Shen was confused, he still believed Chu Jingqi's words.
If the transfer order comes in April, then I can set off back to Beijing in April, and it won’t be too hot on the way.
Moreover, there is still one month left, enough for the family to prepare for the move.
Chu Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mr. Shen nodded. Then, after giving many instructions, she returned to the inn with confidence.
Before leaving, Xia Zihan also visited the Xu family.
Xu Wan'er's bleeding has stopped. After a few more days, her face has become rosy. Even though she is still very thin, gaining weight doesn't happen overnight. It has to be done slowly.
Xia Zihan told her carefully and seriously, "You have to keep that medicinal soup recipe. It's best to keep it in your mind so that you won't forget it. In the future, you have to take it on the first day of menstruation every time." Take that decoction, twice a day, all the time It won’t stop until menstruation has stopped. If you take it for three consecutive years, the root cause of your disease will be truly eliminated. If you don’t take it, your menstruation will come next month and the bleeding down there will be unstoppable. Don’t forget it. .”
If you want to change a person's physique, it doesn't happen overnight. You have to do it slowly.
