Chapter 75 Plan
Chipu County was not affected much. It was only shaken for a while in the morning and then there was no movement, but this was enough for some people to feel the earthquake coming and panic.

In the county government office, Lu Shiren stabilized the hearts of the people in the county, and at the same time sent people to check in the northwest direction, mainly to see where the earthquake started.

Because there is still a prince and a county lord living in the yamen, after arranging the front, Lu Shiren wanted to take a look at the backyard. Just after passing through the Chuihua Gate, he heard a woman's coquettish laughter from the front left.

Knowing that the voice belonged to the eldest daughter, Lu Shiren's face turned dark at first, but after taking two steps forward, he saw King Jin sitting under the pavilion from a distance, so his pace slowed down a lot.

Lu Ningya was holding a piece of paper and handing it to King Jin, who accepted it with a smile.

The atmosphere between the two of them was quite good, Lu Shiren turned his footsteps to another direction, pretending not to see and walked past.

Others may think that King Jin's status is also trembling and he is not a good marriage partner, but Lu Shiren doesn't think so. King Jin is in danger after he married the county lord Zhang Yan, but if his marriage partner can Changing people may mean that the crisis is eliminated.

Lu Shiren didn't want to spend his whole life outside the fourth rank. If his daughters could marry into good families, their family would have a bright future.

"Miss, why does the master not care about it?" On the other side, Qingluan whispered incomprehensibly in an attic in the county government office that was specially used for viewing the scenery.

Because even she felt that in the past few days, the eldest lady had been too close to King Jin, and the reason why there was no trouble was that the county master Zhangyan was recovering from his injuries.

Lu Ningxin smiled, his father is such a person, he looks upright on the surface, but in fact he is no different from those who are busy.

This will not have a bad effect on her, and it is not the focus of her attention at the moment. The focus now is that the elder sister, who is inherently profligate, stretched her claws towards King Jin.

If you don't teach her a lesson, she really thinks that she can conquer the world with that charming smile.

When the master and servant returned to the residence, Nanny Liu, who had been back on duty for several days, sent someone away and said to Lu Ningxin, "Miss, you read that right that day, the carriage really belonged to Mrs. Rong, Duke of Qi. It is said that they went to Huaiyang Mansion and have already set off to return to Beijing."

Lu Ningxin felt a burst of joy, it seemed that every path she took was right, and then there was a deep sense of loss and resentment, if it weren't for Andani, Zhao Cheng would be by her side now, taking advantage of the opportunity to run into Mr. Rong who had returned to Beijing The woman then revealed Zhao Cheng's life experience, and she could find a great asylum simply.

Hateful, hateful.

"Miss has something to do with Mrs. Rong? Do we need to send someone to meet him on the official road ahead?" Nanny Liu asked, but in fact, there were eight or seven guesses in her mind.

When I was in Beijing before, let alone my own family, it was my own family, and had no contact with Duke Qi's mansion, so it is impossible for the young lady to care about Mrs. Rong so much because of her friendship.

And according to what the young lady said, she only happened to see the carriage of Duke Qi's mansion passing by when she went to Fucheng.

Why does it seem to be very sure?

Nanny Liu lowered her head, her thoughtful expression was well hidden, Lu Ningxin decided to reveal something, and just said: "I received a letter from Liu Er before, she said that something big happened in the capital, and the eldest grandson of Duke Qi is actually He's a son of a man."

As soon as Nanny Liu's face changed, she subconsciously wanted to ask, how can the Duke's Mansion spread the word so that even the youngest daughter in the boudoir knows about such an important matter?But when she thought of her son who died so suddenly, she felt disheartened for a moment. Since the young lady wanted to hide something, she didn't need to get to the bottom of it as a servant.

Immediately surprised: "How can there be such absurd things?"

Lu Ningxin sighed: "Who says it's not. But nanny, do you think I can be their guest if I help Duke Qi find their eldest grandson who is living abroad?"

Nanny Liu said: "Don't talk about being a guest, it's not impossible to treat Miss as a benefactor."

Lu Ningxin's hand resting on the table kept tapping on the tabletop, yes, why didn't that child know how to seize such a good opportunity.

But in fact, the little young master of the Duke of Qi who is living abroad may not necessarily want to do it for real, but the other party is not a fool. One day in the future, he will pass the exam in the capital, and it would be bad to be recognized by the people of the Duke of Qi.

"I read a book the day before yesterday, and saw two sentences, I think it makes sense," Lu Ningxin said to herself with a smile, "It's so-called fake when it's true, and sometimes it's fake."

If it's not even real, it doesn't matter whether it's true or false.

----

Passing through the Chaoyang area, where most of the buildings are crooked, An Xu and Fang Bo finally arrived at the village where Zhao Cheng lived, Mitsui Village.

This village is similar to most of the villages they saw on the way, because most of them are thatched houses, so at a glance, the whole village seems to be in ruins.

The aftershocks lasted for two days, and by this day it seemed to have calmed down. Every family was in front of the collapsed houses, and there were people pulling things from under the rubble.

Rescue team, don't even think about it.

At this time, the government's ability to respond was too poor. When they came, they passed by the county seat, and even the county seat was only in charge of each house. Later, they saw guards sorting out one or two gates.

After asking, I found out that it was the servant's house.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

A child's cry came from a house on the side of the road. It turned out to be a child sitting in a basket. The basket had a handle, and a patched padded jacket was placed on the handle. Underneath were two disheveled children.

The adults in the family were sorting out the things that could be used, and when they heard the child crying for hunger, the woman scolded: "Why are you hungry if you don't do anything? Stay well and eat until noon."

But muttering, the woman stepped over a pole, took out a miscellaneous grain bun from the small bamboo basket next to the basket, patted it and handed it to the child in the basket, cursing: "Eat, eat, you will know how to eat."

The child giggled, broke open the steamed bun, and gave half of it to the child next to him.

The two children were also disheveled. At this time, the boys and girls were all struggling, and An Xu couldn't tell whether the two children were boys or girls.

As they stopped, the woman turned her head and asked, "Who are you?"

An Xu said: "We are here to find relatives, sister-in-law, do you know that there is a young scholar named Zhao Cheng in this village?"

"Xiao Cheng," the woman immediately became more enthusiastic, "The scholar who was among the geniuses a few days ago has only been back for a few days. Granny Zhao has just passed two days. Who would have thought that this thief would come out like this."

Cursing and realizing that something was wrong, he quickly stopped talking, pointed to the inside and said: "It's inside, you go all the way to the end, the thatched cottage on the east side of the road is there."

An Xu thanked her and said, "It's so cold and cold, my sister-in-law is still making ginger tea frequently at home."

"I know, I know, the pot in our house is still buried, and the water from the well in the village just now is muddy. Wait for it to clear up for a while."

When An Xu heard the words, it was funny, knowing that she had said some nonsense, and ordinary people also have the survival wisdom of ordinary people, she nodded, and walked forward with Fang Bo.

The man of this family turned his head and asked his wife standing at the door, "Are you looking for Zhao Cheng's family?"

"Well, it might be some kind of distant relative," the woman bent down and continued to pick things up, "but I think she is a kind girl. If there is such a girl to take care of her, Mrs. Zhao doesn't have to worry about Zhao Cheng."

Mijing Village is not very big. Seeing that dozens of households in the village are distributed along the north-south main street, An Xu and Fang Bo walked to the street and saw Zhao bending over to pick up straw and sticks without looking. become.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but the child seems to have lost some weight. He is still wearing the big bloated padded jacket. His nose and face are flushed from the cold. Not far away, an old lady with a back on her back is also pulling things from the ruins.

Sensing someone on the road, Zhao Cheng looked up, his eyes flashed with surprise, shouted "Sister", threw away the straw and stick in his hand, and ran over.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the girl in front of her, and she didn't know where to put her hands, "Cheng'er came back and said he recognized a sister. I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to really come. It's just that there is nowhere to lay your feet in this house." No."

An Xu smiled and said: "You are too polite. But this is just right, I just want to take you and Cheng'er to live in my house, don't clean up these, just come back later and build a new house."

The neighbors on the left and right of the opposite door all looked over, curious about where this strange woman came from.

Looking at the well-dressed clothes, the family must be well-off. When did their family have such good relatives?
What kind of relative is Yijie.

Mrs. Zhao is an old lady with great survival wisdom. After listening to An Xu's words, she was grateful and polite again and again, without showing any distrust towards her. She asked Zhao Cheng to say, "Take the little burden of grandma, and we will follow you." sister go."

Ugh!
Zhao Cheng happily agreed, turned around and pulled out a blue cloth bundle from a pile of straw.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao made a special trip to find the village head, and they didn't know what to say. After a quarter of an hour, they left in Uncle Fang's carriage.

On the day they set off to return to Chipu County, snow finally fell in the gloomy sky for two days. It started to fall finely and densely, and there was no worry of aftershocks, but the bone-chilling cold hit.

The wind swirled and opened the curtains of the car, bringing in fluttering snowflakes. Mrs. Zhao suddenly sighed: "I don't know how many people will die this time."

Hearing this, An Xu also felt very heavy. When he passed through Chaoyang County again, he saw that the general order of the place had been restored, but there were a lot more beggars on the street than when he passed by before.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "The Chen family is serving porridge, everyone go quickly."

In an instant, more beggars appeared, no, more precisely, ordinary people in ragged clothes. They all ran in one direction, crowded and noisy, and the county town became lively in an instant.

However, the few of them who were passing by didn't join in the fun. Just after they left the city gate, they saw an acquaintance standing there.

"It's Mr. Shen," said Fang Bo, slowing down the carriage.

Hearing this, An Xu lifted the curtain of the car and looked over, then got out of the car, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, how do you know we're going back at this time?"

"It's probably today," Shen Xiao held a bamboo basket in his hand, covered with a thick cloth cover made of neat cotton cloth, "Here are some porridge and steamed stuffed buns that we just made at home. It’s hot, eat on the go.”

An Xu was not polite, and reached out to take it, "Thank you. When are you going back to Beijing?"

"Let's see how many days it's snowing, stop before going." Shen Xiao said.

Then there was a moment of silence, he turned sideways and said, "Come back, girl, be careful on the road," the last sentence was obviously for Fang Bo.

Fang Bo looked at Dani, nodded and said, "Master Shen, don't worry, we are close to home, even if we take a long way, we will be home in two or three days."

At this time, Zong Che was driving his horse through the mountain road full of trees and soft soil, and saw two people wrapped in mud and staggering out.

"Brother, help." Lu Ba saw someone coming from afar, and when he knelt down, his face was covered with tears and snot.

Zong Che walked a few feet deep with one foot, and it took about a quarter of an hour for Zong Che to reach the two people who were shouting for help.

Zong Che was so smart, he asked about their conflict with An Xu and Fang Bo two days ago.

"You want to kill her?"

Hearing this, the bald-mouthed Lu Ba was taken aback for a moment, seeing the man's eyes getting more and more wrong, he hurriedly said: "Brother, brother, don't, we really don't want to kill people, we just want to scare people."

Seeing that he didn't say a word, he picked up a branch and greeted him on his head. The two people who climbed out and walked here with difficulty cried and begged for mercy.

Lu Ba was witty again, and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, you and that girl are acquaintances, right? Don't do anything, that girl spared our lives, let us go and reply to the person behind. "

Zong Che swung his stick at the man's head, frowned and said, "Who is your sister?"

Lu Ba touched the two tubes of nosebleeds, and quickly changed his words: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare again."

Zong Che threw away the stick, and reconfirmed: "They walked over when the earthquake happened?"

"Yes, they left on horseback, but soon, that place is not far from another exit, and they must have passed by."

Zong Che was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He glanced forward, turned around and led the horse back.

"Do well, don't mess it up for her."

Listening to the light voice in front, Lu Ba and Hei Chaozi agreed repeatedly.

After coming out of the quake zone, Zong Che changed lanes and headed directly towards De'an Mansion.A day later, I met An Xu and their carriage on the road.
