Chapter 169 Arriving in Yangzhou
In fact, Mo Rulan didn't even remember how she agreed to Shen Qingling.

She only remembered that she was very happy, after properly putting away the coastal defense map, she chatted with Shen Qingling a lot about how to dispatch troops and generals, and finally called her subordinates to serve wine and cut meat, and she got very drunk.

Shen Qingling let go of the important matter on her mind, and drank along with her, feeling very happy.

When the boat travels on the water, it is half a moon in a flash.

Mo Rulan, who had learned how to fight with Shen Qingling for half a month, was a different person now, she was more stable, restrained, and unfathomable.

However, when sending Shen Qingling off the boat, she was smiling as usual.

As for Shen Qingling's side, as soon as she landed, she got into the carriage in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

Yangzhou.

The place that Shen Qingling had missed for several months.

When Shen Qingling wrote to Ping Niang to inquire about the matter of heatstroke prevention and epidemic prevention, she realized that it was indeed done. After all, there were quite a lot of treasures brought back from Jinyun, and with the help of the government, it was difficult for people from all over the country to refuse.

But when it came time to become famous, it was not Shen Qingling who became famous.

Because of this, Pingniang murmured for a long time in the letter, saying that Ren Zhizhou was not a good person, and while his wife was away, he made a lot of credit for nothing and gained a reputation as a great virtuous.

Fortunately, Shen Qingling really didn't want to show the limelight, after patiently convincing Pingniang, the matter was over.

The gate of Yangzhou city.

The three brothers Ren Shaochun and Shao Ying stood upright, beside the four of them stood two and a half adults.The six people looked forward to the official road, and they looked at the passing vehicles all over, but they didn't see the person they wanted to see.

I don't know who yelled first:
"Is it that!"

With sharp eyes and quick feet, Shao Ying jumped out and grabbed the first one.

That's why Shen Qingling opened the curtain, and before she looked up to look at the city gate, she saw Shao Ying's panting face and the crowd of people running and cheering behind her.

"Waiting for the door?" Shen Qingling simply got out of the carriage, jokingly said: "Brother Shao is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that he has not been delayed in Yangzhou for a few months, unlike me, I don't care when I go out. Good practice, the riding post is a bit rusty."

"Second lady!"

Du Feng and Jun Yin were two boys jumping high, yelling, their eyes were dark and shiny.

Ren Shaochun's three elder brothers then bowed to Shen Qingling solemnly, apart from expressing their own respect, they were also bowing to their father.

"So polite?" Shen Qingling raised her eyebrows.

She was surrounded and walked towards the gate of the city, the smile on her face could not be stopped no matter what.

Go home.

Now she's home at last.

Shaoying held back for a long time, and said: "Second lady, you are getting thinner and darker."

"Really?" Shen Qingling raised her hand to look left and right, pursed her lips on purpose and said, "I didn't think so, I guess the scorching sun in Saibei is too dazzling."

"Not black." Ren Shaochun quickly comforted her, "Where is it dark? Shaoying is talking nonsense, the second lady is not dark at all, but she has grown a lot taller, and she looks more lively than before."

A group of people entered the city laughing and making noise, causing many people to look sideways along the way.

At this moment, Pingniang had already prepared a table of delicacies at home, and upon learning that Shen Qingling had returned, Zhou Langhuan rushed to Shen's house immediately, forgetting to put down the account book in his hand.

Surrounded by Shen Qingling, all of them had red eyes, such as Yingxiu Yuxiang who loved to cry, tears were watery and kept streaming.

Everyone knew about leaving Yongguan, so they naturally knew the danger.

"Sister can't be so desperate in the future." Zhou Langhuan fell into Shen Qingling's arms, complaining tearfully: "In those few days, Pingniang would have nightmares as soon as night fell..."

Ping Niang hurriedly stopped Zhou Langhuan and said: "No, no, nothing, Er Niangzi don't worry."

Shen Qingling regained her senses and grasped Pingniang's hand, raised it up and pressed it against her cheek, said in a gentle voice: "Yes, I won't work so hard in the future, the seeds of what I want have already been planted."

During this meal at night, the Shen family ate with joy and laughter.

On the next day, Mrs. Ren hastily handed over an invitation card, asking Shen Qingling to come and visit her as a guest.This time I went to Ren's house, and the servant of Shangguan's house came to invite me the next day.

After spinning around for nearly four days, Shen Qingling finally calmed down in front of the Shen family's house.

As soon as she was free, she had time to think about things.

Pingniang entered the room with bamboo shoots and white jade soup, turned her head and saw Shen Qingling drawing something, so she asked a lot: "Second lady, what you painted is the Yellow River?"

"En." Shen Qingling nodded, moved the drawing paper to Ping Niang's side, and said: "Ping Niang help me to see, but what's wrong?"

After drawing a dozen or so in succession, Shen Qingling felt that something was wrong no matter how she drew.For this reason, she ran to many bookstores in the city, trying to find some current water transportation maps, but failed to find the latest ones.

"No? The maidservant can't see it." Pingniang tilted her body to look at it, and carefully put the soup on the table, wondering why: "The maidservant only knows that the Yellow River changed its course the year before last, and I heard that the water transportation map was issued three times that year. , this time is different."

divert!

Yes, divert!

Shen Qingling patted herself on the forehead violently.

"Oh, Er Niangzi, please be gentle." Ping Niang hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Hehe, it's okay, thank you Pingniang for helping me." Shen Qingling stood up and hugged Pingniang for two laps, then ran out of the house as if flying.

When she was drawing the picture, she only thought about the diversion of the Yellow River, recalling where the embankment would break in the future, or trying to figure out where the official was, but she forgot that the Yellow River diverted three times in the year before. .

Corruption has long been uncovered.

However, when the officials are concerned, there are really some people who are not afraid of death and continue to be greedy.In the end, two batches of heads were beheaded, and the river supervisor was temporarily stabilized with an iron fist.

Originally, Shen Qingling didn't want to bother Ren Bingyi, and caused doubts for no reason. After all, being interested in the Yellow River really didn't match her status as a young lady from Yangzhou.

When the matter came to an end, Shen Qingling didn't care so much, so she could only ask him.

When Ren Shaoyan went out from the government office, he happened to collide with Shen Qingling who was rushing forward. He groaned, and hurriedly supported Shen Qingling, and asked: "What is Er Niangzi doing in such a hurry? Is there something to help you."

"I want to see the diversion map of the Yellow River over the years." Shen Qingling took a breath, grabbed Ren Shaoyan and ran to the government office, "If there is no one in Ren Zhizhou, then help me to secondment, as soon as possible, the sooner the better .”

So one person split up to find the road diversion map, and the other rushed to Ren Bingyi.

"What? Map of diversion?" Ren Bingyi was a little confused.

Shen Qingling nodded, and said: "I dreamed at night that the Yellow River broke its embankment, but when I woke up, I forgot where the embankment was, so I wanted to take a look at the road diversion map, but when I got it done, there was something on my mind. "
