Yang Ruoqing smiled and comforted the eldest Sun: "Auntie, please worry too much. There is a government office in our Changhuaizhou territory."
"From the magistrate of Changhuai Prefecture, to the magistrate of Qing'an County, to the magistrate of Wanghai County, and even the chief security officer of Qingshui Town..."
"There are so many hurdles to go through at this level. Those officials maintain order in the places where they work. If there is a big chaos, it will be difficult for the emperor to explain it. He will be dismissed and investigated."
"So, we ordinary people should not worry too much. If there are too many refugees, the local governments will take corresponding measures."
After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Mrs. Sun's worries finally eased.
"Auntie, how long have Huang Mao been pregnant?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Some time ago, I vaguely heard Sun mention something, but there are unwritten rules in this area.
In the first three months of pregnancy, you generally don’t tell anyone about it and keep it secret for now, unless you tell the closest people at home.
"More than a month, less than two months." Da Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It's mid-April now, and we're going to have a new import in the first month of next year!"
Mrs. Sun nodded repeatedly, "Huangmao's child has not been in good health these days. He is very ill from joy. He eats chicken, duck, fish, meat and shrimp. Not to mention eating it, he will vomit if he smells the smell."
"It looks like she's getting thinner day by day. Your grandma and I are so anxious that we don't know what to get her to eat! Qing'er, please help me think of something!" Dasun said again.
Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "If she doesn't like meat dishes, then get her something light to eat."
"Glutinous rice balls, or candied jujube rice dumplings, etc., the chicken is made into shredded chicken noodles, the fish and shrimp are kneaded with wheat flour into balls, and then mixed with vegetables and eggs to make soup, and in other ways, they are made quietly. She eats it."
"Besides, get more fruits and snacks, so she doesn't go hungry." Yang Ruoqing said.
The eldest Sun touched her palm and said, "What a good idea. I'll do it when I go back later. Hey, this is the fourth generation of our old Sun family. I just hope that the two of them will be well."
After the eldest Sun left in a hurry, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but sigh that Huang Mao was really lucky.
The girl from this farmer's family got married and became a daughter-in-law. When she was pregnant, she still had to cook the family's meals, wash the family's clothes, feed the pigs and chickens, and all the other tasks were indispensable.
Huang Mao’s mother, Aunt Yun, heard that she went to the pond to wash clothes on the third day after giving birth to Huang Mao...
Now Huang Mao is lucky to be married to Dajie. His mother-in-law and grandmother are the most tolerant and kind.
Dajie is a scholar, and he is still studying to prepare for this year's autumn. His mother-in-law and father-in-law have opened a pig farm, and life at home is going well.
Huang Mao is indeed blessed.
However, Yang Ruoqing remembered that in the first lunar month, she accompanied the eldest Sun and Sun to go to Goddess Li's place.
When Da Sun asked Goddess Li for divination to see if she could have a grandson this year, Goddess Li's answer was that the population would not change within this year.
What's the mystery of this?
Huang Mao is obviously pregnant?
Could it be that if the horse stumbles, will Goddess Li also make miscalculations?
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head. She didn't want to go into details. Everything has variables, and everything has its destiny. Just let nature take its course.
…
There are more and more news about refugees in the north in the following time.
How to talk about it in restaurants and teahouses in town.
The people who buy food in Wa City are also talking about it.
In the village, the people working in the fields and the women washing clothes at the entrance of the village were almost all talking about it.
"This guy just doesn't know what's going on. Sometimes the wind is like rain."
While having dinner at Yang Huazhong's house, Yang Huazhong took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and said.
"One or two people spread the word that the refugees were like criminals who committed murder and robbery. They said they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil wherever they went."
"Speaking of which village's grain and livestock were robbed, and of which village's young daughter-in-law who returned to her parents' home and was robbed..."
"Everyone is in a state of panic. The level of panic is no less than that of a war in the second half of that year, when food was in short supply and prices soared..."
Hearing Yang Huazhong's words, Sun's face was full of panic.
"When I was washing in the pond, I heard them say this, saying that the officers and soldiers couldn't control them anymore. Those refugees were killing people and setting fires. Even the officers and soldiers dared to kill them."
"Anyway, I heard that the world outside is very chaotic. Fortunately, you three siblings are at home." Sun said.
At the dinner table, Yang Ruoqing and Daan exchanged glances. Yang Ruoqing said, "Daan, you should tell our parents yourself."
Da'an nodded, then put the chopsticks in his hand neatly aside, and picked up the handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Sun was surprised, "What riddles are you siblings doing? Why can't I understand?"
the woman asked again.
Yang Huazhong also looked at the two siblings, "What's the matter? Tell me, your mother and I are listening."
Da'an glanced at Yang Huazhong and Sun, with something tangled in his eyes.
"Father, mother, I have received inside information. The Holy One may send me to Helanzhou to fight drought and provide disaster relief and appease the refugees..."
"Bang!"
Everyone looked where the sound came from, and saw the chopsticks in Xiaohua's hand falling to the table, and everyone looked at Da'an in astonishment.
Perhaps when she saw everyone looking at her, Xiaohua realized her gaffe, quickly picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to pretend to eat.
But what was in his mouth was a huge head of garlic.
Daan put his hand on his forehead, looking a little embarrassed, this girl...
"Da'an, when did this happen? How come your father and I don't know about it at all?"
Here, Sun's anxious voice sounded again.
The woman leaned forward, her face full of anxiety and worry.
Da'an said: "Sister told me this yesterday morning, but I am still hesitating whether to tell my parents here."
"You kid, why didn't you tell me and your father about such a big thing?" Mrs. Sun became even more anxious, as if she was on the verge of an emergency.
Yang Huazhong also spoke out, but he asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, how did you get this news? Is it unreliable?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "It was Zichuan Feige who sent the message, saying that the Holy Emperor was worried about the drought in Helanzhou during this period, and sent Mu Zichuan as the imperial envoy to Helanzhou to fight the drought. Zichuan recommended that we go to Da'an to do this. His assistant."
"While Zichuan Feige was delivering the letter, the imperial edict has been drafted and should be arriving in the next few days," she said.
"Ah? Was it recommended by Zichuan? Zichuan is... Da'an, can you not go?" Sun frowned, her eyes filled with confusion and worry.
Da'an said: "Mom, you must not blame Brother Zichuan because you are worried about my safety. Brother Zichuan recommended me. In fact, he is promoting me. He is helping me!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Da'an is right. This is a good opportunity for Da'an to show off. By following Zichuan, Da'an can also learn everything that he couldn't learn from books before. This is a good thing for Da'an."
"Is that so?" Mrs. Sun was caught in a dilemma.
