Chapter 500 Disaster Relief (4000)
"In addition, the young master didn't know that because Jizhou was plagued by locusts this year, many people had no food to fill their stomachs. As a result, the Zhen family did the opposite. Not only did they take the opportunity to conquer gold, silver and treasures like other gentry, they also exempted the tenant rent of their own land tenants. Now they are opening warehouses to provide grain to help refugees in Zhongshan."
"The legend is that this matter was also written by Zhen Mi."
"It was her who persuaded the mistress of the Zhen family: 'Seeking treasures in troubled times is not a good plan. Every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. This is what is called losing his life due to wealth. Now many people are hungry. It is better to open the grains in the family to help neighbors around the world. This is a virtue that benefits everyone." The mistress felt that she was right, so she led to this matter. It is also because of this matter that the Zhen family's reputation in Zhongshan Country is unparalleled and has a very high reputation among the people. Everyone says that the Zhen family has a kind-hearted and kind-hearted and rational daughter, which will definitely be of great value in the future."
"Young Master, this is the news I'm inquiring about. Because time is in a hurry, some rumors cannot be verified. However, I have seen the Zhen family opening a warehouse and releasing grain with my own eyes."
Speaking of this, Yang Wanli took out a small cloth bag from his arms, then quickly opened the small cloth bag, poured a handful of corn in it in his palm, and added to Wu Liang, "This is the grain distributed by the Zhen family. I tried to make a secret handful of it. It was indeed real food, not old rice and bad rice, nor did it mix with bran to make up for the scattered amount. It seemed that this move was not to seek fame, but to sincerely release food to save people. Please give me a decision."
“…”
Wu Liang raised his hand and picked up a few grains of corn, but he was thinking about the news that Yang Wanli had inquired about, and compared it with the historical records he knew, trying to further understand Zhen Mi's true situation.
Seeing this, Yu Ji also came up, took a few grains of corn from Yang Wanli and put them in his mouth to chew it. Unfortunately, his teeth had almost fallen off and could not chew the corn. At most, it could only be considered as a taste.
"Um……"
While smashing his mouth, Yu Ji nodded and said, "Young Master said that he had inexplicably called the spirits a few days ago, and he had a premonition that he would have an inescapable intersection with the Zhen family in Zhongshan Country. Now it seems that the Zhen family is essentially different from those rich and unkind families. Then the intersection between the young master and the Zhen family should be 80% of the good relationship. I feel much more at ease."
"This girl named Zhen Mi is about the same age as me. She is a little admired by her ability to say these general words. This is true. I am willing to admit that she has at least half of my talent, and she can be regarded as a rare and amazing woman."
Zhuge Liang also nodded repeatedly. When he said this, his eyes turned and noticed that Bai Jingjing frowned slightly, and then said, "Of course, if you have to make a ranking, she is still the third-ranked woman, and she still has to be behind Sister Jingjing and my sister Sunset."
"Wu Youcai, if you don't teach Zhuge Liang these evil ways in the future, he is at least half as shameless as you."
Bai Jingjing immediately broke the effort, but she held back her smile and rolled her eyes, and scolded Wu Liang in anger.
"I can't blame me, I don't teach him these things normally. Is this entirely his own teaching?"
Wu Liang came to his senses, defended himself with helpless expression, and glared at Zhuge Liang.
"Yes, yes, I'm self-taught, and my talented brother just taught by example and did not really teach me."
Zhuge Liang said quickly.
"Hey! You guy's itchy skin, right?"
Wu Liang immediately dunked on his head.
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing, Prince Chamu, a real social awesome patient, took the conversation and said solemnly: "I just don't know how this girl named Zhen Mi looks like. A kind-hearted and young girl like her, if she is born with a beautiful appearance, she will be qualified to become Princess Shanshan. Although I have not learned the art of being a good student in the room, I have no resistance to such a girl. Therefore, if she has any ideas about me, I will not be able to give her a chance to follow me back to Shanshan and become a queen in the future."
In fact, after returning to the Central Plains with Wu Liang, Prince Chamu had no relatives and still recognized his life. This period was much more honest than when he was in Shanshan.
However, since he experienced the Bai family affairs with Wu Liang and others, this guy no longer treats himself as an outsider and has revealed his true colors when speaking.
“…”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't speak for a long time.
"Brother Chamu, I heard that you know a lot about the culture of our Han Dynasty, but our Han Dynasty culture is profound and profound. Why not rely on you? Do you know how to write the word "Shao"? How many ways do you write it?"
Zhuge Liang asked in despair.
"I wonder which word sao is Zhuge Xiandi said?"
Prince Chamu asked in confusion when he knew the profound meaning.
"Shameful, if you don't reply, I can teach you."
Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"I still know this word, it should be..."
Prince Chamu nodded complacently. He was about to write it out for Zhuge Liang to see, but he finally reacted and immediately raised his face and said, "Okay, Brother Zhuge, are you deliberately playing tricks on me, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
There was another burst of laughter.
This time, even Prince Chamu couldn't stand it. His face turned slightly red, but he still said with his neck: "I'm not wrong. Although Shanshan is a small country in the Western Regions, the position of queen is not as high as that of the Han Dynasty. However, in Shanshan, it is also a status of more than one person than a thousand people. No matter how much the woman in Shanshan has become queens, she has never humiliated her!"
"Okay, okay, I'll count on my fingers and know that you have no chance or separation from Zhen Mi. You should put aside this idea."
Wu Liang finally came out to smooth things over and said with a smile, "Now the plan is to further clarify the situation of the Zhen family. My spirit shows that the intersection between me and the Zhen family is destined, but unfortunately, what will happen is unknown. In addition, we are now in the hinterland of Yuan Shao's territory, and the Zhen family is a famous family in Zhongshan. They will inevitably have some contact with Yuan Shao. Therefore, even if you want to contact the people of the Zhen family, you must master the standards and skills. You must never easily reveal your identity. This requires a suitable opportunity."
"Yang Wanli, this matter is still taught to you. Continue to inquire about the situation of the Zhen family... The next focus of the investigation is on Zhen Mi's second brother, the current head of the Zhen family, "Zhen Yan", to pay special attention to whether he has any hidden diseases. At the same time, you should pay special attention to the cause of his father "Zhen Yi" and eldest son "Zhen Yu". I always feel that these two people do not seem to be as simple as death. Try to check it in detail."
When his father "Zhen Yi" died, Zhen Mi cried more sad than anyone else.
When the eldest brother "Zhen Yu" died, Zhen Mi was not so sad and forgot her very quickly.
Of course, Wu Liang had doubts that a person's character will not change easily. If Zhen Mi was a person who valued his family, then he should not have such completely different behaviors when his father and elder brother died.
There is another reason to focus on investigating the second brother of the current leader, "Zhen Yan".
Because according to official historical records, "Zhen Yan" will also die when Zhen Mi was fourteen years old. This is something that is about to happen, and it is actually not far from now.
The father "Zhen Yi" died prematurely.
The eldest brother "Zhen Yu" died prematurely.
The second brother "Zhen Yan" is about to die early.
The third brother "Zhen Yao" is still unknown, because there are only five records about him in history: "Chi Yao, filial and honest", and there is no record of his deeds and life in the rest, and it is even more impossible to explain his final death and cause of death. Wu Liang is also a clever wife who can't cook without rice.
But this does not prevent Wu Liang from making some of his own inferences based on known information.
The Zhen family has three sons and five daughters, the father dies early, the eldest brother dies early, and the second brother is about to die early...
He had to suspect that the third brother might have a rare good death.
This doesn't feel like a natural phenomenon. Unlucky things came to the males of the Zhen family one by one, and they were also in order, which looked a bit like some kind of unexplained curse.
Even if the matter was not inferred by Wu Liang, this matter can be regarded as an excuse for Wu Liang to approach the Zhen family.
"promise!"
Yang Wanli responded and immediately went out to do so.
...
Wu Liang was not in a hurry and took the clerks and stayed in Zhongshan City temporarily, waiting patiently for opportunities and opportunities.
It has to be admitted that as the rear of Yuan Shao's territory, Zhongshan Kingdom was also in charge of the "kind-hearted" clan like the Zhen family, so the public security situation was better than most places Wu Liang had been to before.
Even if you suffer from locust plague this year, people will live a relatively stable life, and starvation on the roadside is rare.
Wu Liang and others stayed in Zhongshan City for a week. Except for those who went out to inquire, the rest of the people all ate, slept, ate, and ate, played chess and relieved their boredom when they were bored, or went to the fields and mountains in the suburbs to experience the local customs and customs. They were happier and more comfortable than when they were in Chenliu, and even felt a little happy.
Now the matter between Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing has been acquisced by the Bai family, and it is possible to be a husband and wife at any time.
However, although the two have lived in the same room recently, they have not easily broken through that relationship.
It’s not that Wu Liang doesn’t want to, nor is it that Bai Jingjing resists it.
But considering the current situation, it is really not suitable to do things randomly.
There are many risks when going out, and I am afraid that there will be further dangers in the future. There are no more proper safety measures in this era. If Wu Liang tries every move, his next actions will be greatly affected, especially for Bai Jingjing.
Although Wu Liang is not a parenting expert, he also knows some basic knowledge about nurturing.
If a woman is pregnant, the first few months are often the most critical period. She must have a stable and comfortable environment to ensure the healthy development of the fetus. Otherwise, the fetus will have problems, and the mother's body will also be greatly irreversible. Therefore, this matter must not be done casually.
not to mention.
Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to give Bai Jingjing some sense of ritual before this matter, and that he could not be as unclear as before, and taught his woman to be wronged in this matter.
Of course, this does not prevent him from being a central air-conditioning scumbag.
Otherwise, what would he do to Zhongshan Country this time?
Isn’t it just eating in the bowl and looking at the pot?
However, in such an era, the system of monogamous and multiple concubines is a mainstream and recognized marriage system. A scumbag like Wu Liang is eager to try it out, and the indigenous people of this era are not that difficult to accept.
This is also a kind of adaptation to local customs...
During this period, Yang Wanli disguised himself from outside to inquire every day, and the Zhongshan Zhen family's awareness of defense was obviously not as high as that of the Chenliu Zhu family. In addition, because the Zhen family opened warehouses and released grain, there were still many foreign refugees entering the city every day, so naturally they did not cause any unexpected trouble.
Unfortunately, there is no trouble, and Yang Wanli did not inquire about any useful information.
Especially what Wu Liang focused on explaining to Yang Wanli, perhaps because Zhen Yi and Zhen Yu had died for a long time, and perhaps because the Zhen family did a good job of keeping the secrets in this regard. The cause of death after inquiring about it was all deaths. As for what disease it was, no outsiders could explain it clearly.
As for the second brother "Zhen Yan" who was about to die early in history.
I only know that he is still alive now, and outsiders think that he is healthy and cannot find any clues.
at the same time.
Wu Liang finally got the opportunity to see Zhen Mi with his own eyes.
Yang Wanli brought back the news in advance that the next morning, Zhen Mi will personally distribute food to the victims on behalf of the Zhen family, and his second brother "Zhen Yan" will also accompany him as the head of the family.
"Tomorrow, Prince Chamu will disguise himself as I go to the Zhen family to collect relief grain."
Wu Liang immediately made a decision, "The remaining backbones can also go, but just take a look outside. Don't get close together, so as not to form a gang to attract the attention of the Zhen family."
I think it is Zhen Mi and Zhen Yan who distributed the food together.
Then the Zhen family will definitely arrange many guards to maintain order. When they meet someone who they think is suspicious, they will naturally be inevitable to interrogate a few words. Wu Liang is not afraid of his own people being interrogated, but he just doesn't want to leave an impression on Zhen Mi and others for the first time he meets. Otherwise, what he wants to do in the future will be restricted.
This is the second day.
After Wu Liang got up, he wiped a handful of dust on Prince Chamu's face, and then took him a piece of rag to cover his somewhat curly hair, so that his face with the Western Region style was not so eye-catching.
The same is true for him, after all, his hair that is half long and not short is not very popular in this era.
When they arrived at Zhen’s mansion, the refugees who came to collect Zhen’s grain had already lined up under the instructions of the Zhen’s mansion guards, and the line was lined up all the way to the alley opposite the mansion. It was roughly estimated that there would be at least two or three hundred people in front.
