To sum up, the Sima Zhu Xiuyuan is not the kind of Sima who is very idle, but one who needs to be responsible for specific affairs and is very busy.

But since he promised his wife that he would take them out shopping today, Zhu Xiuyuan would not break his promise.

After Zhu Xiuyuan went to the Yamen office, he stayed in the check-in room for less than half a quarter of an hour. Then he walked to Dong Cheng's check-in room, made up a random reason, and left the Yamen.

Because Zhu Xiuyuan was responsible for certain specific matters, he needed to go out for a walk instead of staying in the check-in room all the time. This gave him the opportunity to fabricate reasons.

Dong Cheng had no doubt and nodded to show that he understood.

Zhu Xiuyuan left the yamen and directly ordered Yan Dashan to act as the driver and drive him to the Dong Mansion in the carriage.

When they arrived at Dong Mansion, Zhu Xiuyuan told Yan Dashan to wait where he was, while he quickly came to the east courtyard to pick up Dong Shuzhen and the others.

Dong Shuzhen had already prepared and was waiting in the small living room for Zhu Xiuyuan to pick them up.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked into the small living room and took a look. He was stunned for a moment when he saw three delicate beauties in the small living room. They were bright and bright, blinding his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Obviously, they wear makeup!

The face, bun, hair accessories, clothes, etc. are all carefully processed and look several times more beautiful than usual!

"Madam... you?"

"Husband, you are finally here..." Dong Shuzhen immediately jumped up from the chair, but because she moved too fiercely, the various exquisite hair accessories on her bun swayed together.

Dong Shuzhen usually doesn't wear so many hair accessories. Today, because she was dressed up, she also had hair all over her head...

As a result, Dong Shuzhen was too lively and active, and her movements were so large that she wore jingle bells all over her hair, which looked full of comedy.

"Haha..." Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Dong Shuzhen's movements suddenly froze, and she was keenly aware that Zhu Xiuyuan was laughing at her.

She stared blankly at Zhu Xiuyuan with her big eyes, her eyelashes were very long, and there was a trace of grievance in her eyes.

"Haha...haha..." Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't stop laughing.

"Husband..." Dong Shuzhen rushed over aggrievedly, burying half of her face in Zhu Xiuyuan's arms, clenching a small hand into a fist, and gently beating Zhu Xiuyuan's chest.

"Husband, you are making fun of me..." Dong Shuzhen shouted while gently beating Zhu Xiuyuan.

"No, no, how could I make fun of my wife..." Zhu Xiuyuan finally stopped laughing, but the corners of his mouth opened wide and could not be closed for a long time.

"You said no, you are just teasing me. Look, husband, you are grinning from ear to ear..." Dong Shuzhen said aggrievedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Madam, you are extraordinarily beautiful today, just like that little fairy descended from the earth. You are so beautiful. How could my husband make fun of you?" Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly became serious.

Dong Shuzhen was stunned and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan with her big eyes. She felt that her serious husband was so charming when he said such shameful words!

After taking care of Dong Shuzhen, Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Qiu Wen and Xia Wu who were walking over.

The two little maids were also carefully dressed up. In terms of beauty, they were different from Dong Shuzhen.

"Qiu Wen, who put on your makeup? It's very good!" Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Qiu Wen and smiled.

Qiu Wen lowered her head in embarrassment and wrung her hands together, feeling embarrassed.

Qiu Wen is the timidest and most shy, so she cannot withstand his praise.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but lower his head slightly to look at Qiu Wen's shy expression.

However, the scene in Zhu Xiuyuan's sight suddenly changed, and a head broke in.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look, but it turned out to be Xia Wu's head.

"Xia Wu's makeup is also very good!" Zhu Xiuyuan quickly praised.

"Oh, husband, it's getting late, let's set off quickly, otherwise it will be dark!" Dong Shuzhen was startled, suddenly realized, took Zhu Xiuyuan's arm and walked out.

"I just finished breakfast less than an hour ago, why is it getting dark already? Madam, what are you thinking in your head..."

…

This month in Jiangzhou City has been full of disasters.

Thinking back to half a month ago, there were heavy rains and floods, the water level of the Yangtze River surged, and the plague was rampant...Three natural disasters came one after another, almost plowing this area.

The prefectures and counties around Jiangzhou City suffered a great disaster and were almost empty. It can be said that there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, and withered bones are everywhere in the mountains and fields!

Fortunately, there are still more than 200,000 people surviving in Jiangzhou City, otherwise this area would really become a no man's land.

However, today's Jiangzhou City is different from half a month ago. There are no more than 200,000 people there, and most of the people have moved out.

They responded to the court's call and either went to nearby deserted prefectures and counties to help with post-disaster reconstruction, or simply settled there directly...

As a result, there were only 50,000 to 60,000 people left in Jiangzhou City.

Fifty or sixty thousand people are neither too many nor too few. If they were evenly distributed throughout Jiangzhou City, the population would naturally be sparse.

However, people can move!

Some streets in the city are still bustling.

These streets were restored as quickly as possible, and they were already bustling with activity.

Newcomers who see this bustling scene will never imagine that half a month ago, this bustling street was deserted and closed, just like an empty city.

...Zhu Xiuyuan took Dong Shuzhen and the others to this street.

On the bluestone street where people were coming and going, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen were walking side by side in front, while two young maids, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, were strolling behind.

The four of them all held a candied haws in their hands and gnawed on it.

Candied haws on a stick is a classic snack, and Dong Shuzhen must eat one every time she comes to the street.

Needless to say about Qiu Wen, she is a foodie herself. If there is something to eat, no matter what it is, she will welcome it.

Xia Wu is not as greedy as Qiu Wen, but when she goes out for shopping, she naturally needs to eat and drink.

As for Zhu Xiuyuan... He originally thought that he would not be interested in such childish snacks, because after all, he is an adult from the 21st century. It would be so embarrassing to eat snacks that are only eaten by children!

However, when Dong Shuzhen fed him a candied haws...it smelled so good!

Zhu Xiuyuan forgot that he was only fifteen years old, and he was at the right age to be greedy for delicious food...

And Yan Dashan, who was following everyone, actually also had a bunch of candied haws in his hand!

But looking at his thick arms, which are thicker than the woman's legs, and holding such a small bunch of candied haws, it's really uncoordinated.

Yan Dashan silently followed behind his benefactor and his benefactor, holding the bunch of candied haws in his hand. It didn't matter if he said he wanted to eat it, and it didn't matter if he said he didn't want to eat it. How embarrassing!
