Chapter 7 Wen Renyin, the plague of locusts

Chapter 7 Wen Renyin, the plague of locusts
After finally arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Wen Ruyue's temples were disheveled, and the corners of her skirt were covered with dust, making her look embarrassed.

At this time, it was too late to change clothes, Yan Wenmao helped Luo Chuchu onto the dragon chair, Wen Ruyue only had time to stroke her hair, and looked down nervously.

Below is the place where the ministers stand, unless they raise their heads hard, it is difficult to see the sky, Wen Renyin should not be able to see her at the moment.

Wen Ruyue reluctantly calmed down, randomly scratched a few strokes on the booklet, and recorded Luo Chuchu's actions and words, which was the responsibility of the female historian.

Luo Chuchu didn't make drastic comments as soon as she came up to show her sense of presence, but followed Luo Chu's character before, allowing the ministers below to ignore her and secretly observe their actions.

Scanning around in the front row, Luo Chuchu quickly found the prime minister, Wen Renyin. He was dressed in a black official uniform, which made him tall and straight, with a gentle smile on his lips. Among the people and the old man, he stood out from the crowd.

Standing behind Luo Chuchu's right side, Wen Ruyue looked at Wen Renyin with admiration in her eyes. Thinking of her current image, she squeezed her sleeves tightly and gave Luo Chuchu a sneaky look.

Sure enough, it was a dog-meat bun who was not on the stage, and she was made like this. If Wen Renyin saw it, she would be ashamed and angry.

Luo Chuchu felt a little cool in the back, thought it was a cold wind, moved his body, rested his hands on the table, and listened to Ren Yin's report on the results of the disaster.

After he finished speaking, Luo Chuchu suddenly said: "I want to know the details of the disaster. After the court was over, I heard that Ren Aiqing came to the imperial study and told me carefully."

Wen Renyin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "Follow His Majesty's will."

The small episode did not attract the attention of the ministers. From their point of view, Luo Chu couldn't control the matter at all, and it was up to Yan Wenmao to make the final decision.

The only person who responded to Luo Chuchu's words was Wen Ruyue. Her heart was beating wildly, and she wished she could go back to her residence immediately to change her clothes and touch up her makeup.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was impossible to sneak away, so I had to continue to record with a pen holder, a little irritable between my brows.

After the court was over, when Luo Chu saw Wen Ruyue walking in a hurry, a big question mark could not help but float up in his head.

What happened to Wen Nushi? In the past, the most important thing was to behave elegantly. Why does she look in a hurry now? Could it be that she wants to go to the toilet?

Forget it, she is not someone who is inconsiderate of her subordinates, so she can take the paperwork by herself.

On the case table, there are three big volumes of bamboo slips recording the disasters in recent years, plus Wen Renyin's memorial, which weighs at least ten catties.

Luo Chuchu picked up a roll and felt her thin arms trembling, overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, let this servant come." Shi Xue hurriedly took the things in her hands.

It stands to reason that Wen Ruyue should do this, but she is not here, so Shi Xue Shiyue can only take responsibility.

There should have been low-level female officials to help, but Luo Chu didn't go to court very much, and he didn't communicate with the ministers much, so the low-level female officials were not called over.

Wen Renyin followed the ministers out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the officials who had a quarrel with him deliberately walked by, mockingly said: "Fortunately, His Majesty summoned you, Mr. Wenren must seize the opportunity, maybe the salary can go up again." Let me mention it, wouldn't it be great to have a few taels of silver more every month!"

The prime minister's official salary was 500 taels of silver per year, but people in the court bought shops in private, and they really lived on their salary, and they couldn't afford a luxurious life.

Hearing the opponent's ridicule, Wen Renyin's expression did not change at all, and said: "It is the duty of the minister to share your majesty's worries."

Walking to the imperial study room alone, Wen Renyin frowned slightly until there was no one else around.

This is the first time since the empress took the initiative to let the courtiers go to the imperial study to discuss matters. Are there any twists and turns?Did Yan Wenmao invite him to discuss in the name of the Empress, or was there another reason?

In the imperial study room, Luo Chuchu was sitting upright on the top, and after hearing Renyin's salute, he didn't see the female official assisting the empress in handling affairs, so she couldn't help asking:

"Your Majesty, where is the lady next to you?"

Luo Chuchu looked around, but she didn't see Wen Ruyue.

Haven't come back for so long?With a light cough, she said, "Nv Shi Wen is not feeling well and has gone to the latrine."

As soon as the words fell, the low-ranking female officer standing in the corner of the imperial study room let out a whispering laughter, and they exchanged glances with each other, suppressing the smile.

Wen Ruyue has always been proud of herself, and the female officials below have been sent around, and she picked out mistakes from time to time, and she has long disliked her.

If she loses such a big shame in front of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, let's see how she will be upright in the future!

What's so funny about going to the latrine?Luo Chuchu was a little puzzled, but it was stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to enter the imperial study room, and Yan Wenmao was not around, so no one could ask, so he had to forget about it.

Wen Renyin then began to explain in detail the areas affected by the locust plague, the start and end time, how to control it, etc. Knowing that Luo Chu had just started to govern the country, he tried to explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

When Luo Chuchu heard that the officials sent people to scatter insecticides everywhere, the best way was to catch locusts with nets and burn them to ashes to fertilize the field. He couldn't help asking, "Are these locusts poisonous?"

Wen Renyin explained: "Your Majesty, locusts are food-eating insects and have no poison..."

After listening to him talk about a lot of knowledge about locusts, Luo Chuchu interrupted: "In that case, why don't you eat it?"

Fried locusts are a delicacy in China. Although some people may not accept it, it is better than starving to death.

Hearing the empress's suggestion, Wen Renyin's complexion changed, and the ugly appearance of locusts appeared in his mind. He resisted the discomfort and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, locusts are not edible..."

"Who said that, I can eat it if I say it can be eaten!" Luo Chuchu said firmly.

Under her strong request, Shiyue hurried to the imperial dining room and made the weirdest request that the master of the imperial dining room had ever heard so far.

Fortunately, there are a few little eunuchs in the palace who love to play with bugs, otherwise where would they find grasshoppers?
Not long after, Shiyue returned to the imperial study with a food box containing two plates of fried locusts emitting a strong aroma.

Wen Ruyue finally came over dressed up in a new look, her sky blue dress was graceful and graceful, and met Shiyue head-on, and Shiyue let her advance.

Wen Ruyue lifted up her skirt gracefully and stepped into the imperial study, feeling a little nervous.

Will Wen Renyin like her dress?I heard that he loves orchids, so he specially put orchid-scented powder on his body. You should smell it when you pass by him...

When passing by Wen Renyin's side, Wen Ruyue deliberately swung her sleeves, exuding a burst of fragrance.

After smelling the fragrance, Wen Renyin stepped back without a trace, his mind was full of "discomfort" and "toilet", for fear of smelling some foul smell.

Wen Ruyue noticed his movements, her steps faltered, and her heart was hurt.

Shiyue, who was carrying a food box, walked around her, took out the things and put them on the table, Wen Ruyue saw them, she stepped back in surprise, and said in disgust:
"What is this?"
