Chapter 216

At the end of the ceremony and before the imperial list was opened, an urgent letter printed with the symbol of six flames was sent from Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, to Shangjing. Lixiang City encountered a once-in-a-century Earth Dragon turning over, countless houses collapsed, and there were countless casualties. its number.

When Luo Tiandu heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.Lixiang City?Isn't that where Wei Que works now?I don't know if he is okay?
Speaking of which, the dagger for self-defense that Wei Que gave her last time seems to have been left in the pool of Shangyuan Temple.

When Luo Baisu came back in the evening, Luo Tian asked about this matter. Luo Baisu only said that the court had got the news and was discussing how to relieve the disaster. He didn't know the details, after all, with his rank Even the dumb government office couldn't get much news.

"Hey, why is it so difficult to think about having a safe birthday for two years these days? There are always disasters like this. Alas, the people in Lixiang are suffering now. The snow disaster just passed a few years ago, and now it's coming again. It happened to me. Alas!" Fang sighed with concern.

Uncle Gu was sweeping the windows with a feather duster, when he heard this, he coughed and said, "Oh, what a crime."

No matter which era, the destructive power of natural disasters is huge, Luo Tian sighed in his heart, wondering how many people will die this time.

Luo Baisu comforted: "No matter what, the imperial court got the news in time, and the regulations for disaster relief should be released immediately, and the people affected by the disaster will be properly arranged. This is the imperial court's business, so don't worry too much." How, as a female family member, it is not good to talk about the affairs of the court after all.

Cheng Qing, who has always been silent, suddenly said at this time: "No matter how timely the court's actions are, the disaster will never come sooner." He and Cheng Sheng had experienced the snow disaster before, because they felt much more deeply about the disaster than ordinary people. At that time, it was obvious that the disaster was not that serious. If the imperial court's resettlement could have been more timely, quicker and stronger, many people would not have died.

Luo Tian was also silent.She also knows that the information in this era is far less developed than in later generations, so rescue operations are bound to be more difficult.It was already half a month ago that the earth dragon in Lixiang City turned around, and the court only got the news now. As for the charter of the court’s disaster relief, it would take endless quarrels among courtiers to finalize it. The materials have to be distributed step by step, and a lot of time will be wasted. At that time, officials from all walks of life will take advantage of it to get some extra gray income for themselves, and it will be greatly reduced if they can really fall into the hands of the victims.During this period, I do not know how many people died.

However, this is the court's business, no matter how worried they are, they can't help, she'd better live her life well first.

These days, the business in the fitness center has been good. This year has just started, and they have gradually saved more than 100 taels of silver, which is comparable to Luo Baisu's salary for a year.

At this time, Luo Baisu would jokingly say that the position of the head of the family should be changed.

Seeing their harmonious family, Mrs. Liu was very envious, and thought to herself that a woman must marry the right person in order to have a good life. Mrs. Fang's life is as comfortable as it is today thanks to her marriage to Luo Baisu Therefore, Fang Min's marriage is more and more concerned. You must know that Fang Min's marriage is directly related to Niuniu's marriage in the future.

It's just that the threshold for people in Beijing is too high, not to mention those high-ranking officials and nobles, even small families have to choose a dowry. Although the Fang family will also ask people to inquire about relationships, very few people respond.

Seeing that Luo Tiandu is so good at making money, Mrs. Liu couldn't help thinking a little bit more carefully. She didn't want Fang Min to marry in the countryside, and she couldn't find a suitable son-in-law when she went to Beijing, so she thought it's better for Fang Min to learn from Luo Tiandu. To make money, if Fang Min can earn hundreds of taels of silver a month like Luo Tiandu, why would she worry about her daughter not getting married and going back to see the face of Fang's family.

"Big sister is very lucky, this kid in Xiaodu is so good at earning money, in the future, big sister's good life will never end." Liu said half-truthfully.

Usually, Fang didn't care much about Luo Tiandu's affairs. Hearing what she said, she said, "I can't control her when the child is old. Let her earn some pocket money." Speaking of this, Fang thought of something again. , "Siblings, it's spring now, and the family is going to prepare for spring plowing, won't you go back and help with the farming?"

Mrs. Fang always speaks straightforwardly, and the Fang family has a lot of land, so she was really kind and urged Mrs. Liu to go home and help plant the land.In fact, Mrs. Liu has been out for so long, and she is also very concerned about her husband and two children, but Fang Min has not found a place yet, and she is always worried.

"I'm also thinking about it. I should go back in a few days. I've been out for almost half a year. I don't know how their masters are living at home. It's because Minmin has nowhere to go." Liu said this At that time, he kept looking at Luo Tiandu.

Luo Tiandu was playing with Luo Zijin, when he heard what Liu Shi said, he put Luo Zijin into Fang Shi's arms, smiled and said to Fang Shi: "Mother, brother Cheng Sheng will be back today, I'm going to see the kitchen. What kind of food, if it is not enough, I will buy some more."

Xiang Lan said with a smile: "Young lady is a lady of every family, how can I go to a place like the market, I can just go."

Fang also said: "You go and have a look first, and let Xiang Lan buy what you need. If you are a girl who has never been in the house, you should avoid running on the street."

In fact, Luo Tiandu didn't like the noisy environment of the vegetable market, so he didn't object when he heard the words. He went to the kitchen to look around, then took the money, and asked Xiang Lan to bring Zishu back to buy some meat dishes.Cheng Sheng trained in the military camp, and his food and clothing were very frugal. Every time he came back from the military camp, the Luo family would buy a lot of fish and meat to improve his diet.

"Cheng Qing and I should take care of Ah Sheng when he comes back. The young lady is always so polite, Cheng Qing and I feel bad for it." Xiang Lan was both happy and embarrassed.

Cheng Sheng is Cheng Qing's brother, so she and Cheng Qing should take care of him, but all along, Cheng Sheng's food, clothing, housing and transportation have been provided by the Luo family. Without him, I really treat him like a family member, and I am very moved.

"Don't say that to Xiang Lan, I look forward to Cheng Sheng's return every day, so that I can buy delicious food in a fair manner." Luo Tiandu laughed.

In the evening, Cheng Sheng came back, with a bag of candy in his hand, and passed it to Luo Tiandu when he entered the door, saying: "I bought it for you, I tasted one, it was so sweet."

Luo Tiandu didn't like candy, but he thanked him anyway and accepted it cheerfully. She didn't like it, but Luo Ming liked it. Besides, Fang Min also liked candy.

Fang Shi was also very happy to see Cheng Sheng, and kept saying: "Oh, you've lost weight, darkened, and strengthened. Could it be that you can't get enough to eat in the military camp? Every time I see you, I think you've lost weight."

Cheng Sheng is no longer the thin and small boy who first came to Luo's house back then. He has grown taller, stronger, and a lot more cheerful. Probably because he has been in the military camp all the time, he has become more masculine. Hearing what Fang said , also smiled: "No, the food in the camp is no better than the food at home."

"Knowing that you are coming back, your sister-in-law has bought a lot of vegetables. You can eat as much as you want today." Fang also said.

"I just know that I can have a good meal at night. I was only half full at noon." Cheng Sheng laughed, and went to see Luo Zijin after speaking. The arms and legs are very cute, and I love him so much, "The little guy is so beautiful." After speaking, he took out a small silver bracelet from his bosom, and wanted to put it on Luo Zijin's hand.

When Fang saw it, she quickly stopped her: "What are you doing? Put it away quickly, and keep it for your little nephew and niece in the future."

Xiang Lan blushed.

Cheng Sheng said indifferently: "This is for Zijin, and I will give it to my nephew and niece in the future."

Fang Shi was about to say something more, but Luo Zijin was so tossed awake that she grinned and was about to howl, but as soon as she moved her hand, a few small bells fell on the silver bracelet, which jingled incessantly. Stop, Luo Zijin stopped crying, and kept staring at the bell.

"Look, kid Jin likes it too." Cheng Sheng was a little proud, looking at the kid's fair and tender little face, wanting to touch it but worried about his rough skin and thick flesh, he scratched him, with a troubled expression on his face.

Luo Tian saw Luo Zijin's expression of wanting to hug but not daring to hug him, so he picked up the child and said with a smile, "Zijin likes you, you should hug him." Without waiting for him to finish speaking Refused, and carefully placed the child in his arms.

Cheng Sheng was so frightened that he was in a hurry. The child's body was too soft, and he felt restless in his arms. Cheng Sheng held it with one hand, as if he was holding the most precious and fragile treasure in the world. He didn't dare to move, and was stiff. In the same place, his eyes kept looking straight at Luo Zijin.The boy is so beautiful, he will definitely be like the uncle when he grows up in the future, he will be a handsome man.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to wonder if his little nephew and niece would be so beautiful when they were born in the future.

However, Luo Zijin was very squeamish, probably because he thought Cheng Sheng's arm was uncomfortable, so he only let him hug him for a short while, then grinned and howled, even Luo Tian was pulling his little wrist and shaking it, the bell The "ding ding dong ding" kept ringing, but it didn't stop him.

Fang could only hug the child back, and said with a smile: "Oh, this child is just too delicate, even if I hug him, nine out of ten times I will cry."

Luo Tiandu then touched his little face and said, "That's right, it's not good for a boy to be so delicate."

When they were talking, Liu Shi kept looking at Cheng Sheng, and then at Fang Min who was silent by the side, feeling a little regretful.

Originally, she also had Cheng Sheng's idea. She knew that Cheng Sheng was going to take part in the martial arts exam this year. Shi felt a little dissatisfied. The most important thing was that he had been a servant of the Luo family, and there was no elder to help him in the family.
