The emperor urgently summoned the ministers for a small court meeting, and the prince also attended. After the meeting, the prince took Zhao Mo on a tour of several areas inside and outside the capital that were most severely affected by heavy rains for several days.

Fortunately, the prince's physical condition has greatly improved now. Although he was in a hurry along the way, it was not a rush march. He had all the guards and entourage with him, and the imperial doctor followed him. He also paid more attention to his diet, so he was still strong.

He carried it over and did not fall down after returning to the palace, but just looked a little tired. Compared with his previous weak experience, this was a big improvement, and he was very satisfied with it.

When the Queen Mother, the Emperor and several important ministers saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy. For them, there was nothing more gratifying than seeing the Prince in good health.

Of course, the prince was happy for a short time that his health had improved, but then he immediately became worried about the disaster. He reported his personal experience to the emperor: "Most of the crops grown in the fields around the capital were flooded.

, I am afraid that production will have to be reduced by at least 40% to 50%. The good news is,

It’s not like there’s no harvest. It’s just that this year’s autumn harvest will definitely be no better than in previous years.” He also pointed out several areas where the disaster was particularly severe, and several areas where the damage was mild. Which types of grains grown in various places were more severely affected, and which ones were more severely affected.

He also listed them clearly one by one if he could still save others.

The emperor was very satisfied when he saw that the prince had done his homework seriously and his body could still hold up. He praised him a few times and then turned to several important ministers and asked them if they had any countermeasures.

Everyone spoke individually, and Zhao Mo was just a wallflower in the process, standing in the corner without saying a word. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the prince could not remember something clearly and couldn't explain it at the moment, he could remind him at any time, but he wouldn't want to

Staying in the imperial study room.

Except for him, there are all important ministers in this room. He is just a young man, not of royal blood, and has no merit. He just stands aside and listens to others. It is really too pushy!

Now that the heir to the East Palace is expected, Zhao Mo never wants to be in the limelight. If there are still people who think too much at this time, regard him as a threat to the imperial power, and slander him in front of the emperor and the prince all day long, then wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

Already?

Fortunately, the important ministers in power now are all sensible people. Although they were quite surprised to see Zhao Mo standing here, thinking about how he accompanied the prince around various places in the capital, what the prince could see,

He also saw it, and he was an insider after all. When they needed to ask about something, they couldn't ask the prince directly, but there was no problem in asking Zhao Mo. Keeping him in the house was a very reasonable decision.

As for the rest, it's not that they don't have random thoughts, but that the emperor and the prince clearly value Prince Suning, and the East Palace is about to have a new baby. How can a clan prince cause chaos? Is it possible that the emperor and the prince can be deceived by a young man?

At present, the Prince of Suning County has not gone against the trend, so there is no need for ministers like them to worry about it. Didn't you see that Tang Lao Shangshu, Shoushan Bo and Yunyang Hou didn't say anything?

Zhao Mo was taken to this small court meeting by the prince, and stayed in the palace until it was almost dark before coming out. Before he had time to return to his residence, he rushed to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

When he came, he was just in time for dinner. It was rare that even Qin Ping and Qin An were here today, so Niu hurriedly said: "Hurry up and bring me a pair of chopsticks." Looking at Zhao Mo, he felt a little distressed, "It's so pitiful to see him in such a bad state.

I have lost weight and my complexion is not that good either.

Are you tired when you went out to patrol the city with the prince? Eat something more quickly. Today, I asked your fourth cousin to cook a few more nourishing dishes, and also asked someone to prepare a medicinal diet. Originally, I asked your two cousins ​​to

I’ve been trying to make up for it, now you should drink two more bowls too.”

Zhao Mo accepted Niu's kindness with a smile, sat next to Qin Ping and Qin An, and had a sumptuous dinner, feeling very satisfied.

Qin An will come back today because of the heavy rains a few days ago, which flooded a large area of ​​the camp in the west of Beijing. He took his men to help with the repairs and was tired for a few days. Now that the camp has been repaired, General Ma

He and several colleagues were given a holiday. He could rest at home for three days.

On the same day, I came back early. Someone from home reported that my baby son had caught a cold and had a cough in the heavy rain. He was so anxious that he hurried back to see the child. Fortunately, Brother Zhuang was in good health.

My wife and daughter are well taken care of, and now there is nothing serious.

After dinner, Qin An hurried back to the west courtyard with his wife and children. He had been away from home for a long time and was busy enjoying family happiness for a while longer.

Qin Bai and Qin Ping stopped Zhao Mo and began to discuss the storm that had just passed. Cai Shengnan called Qin Hanzhen with a smile and helped Niu into the inner room to talk. Qin Hanzhen looked back at his grandfather, his father and

My fiancé went there with some regret.

She actually wanted to stay and listen to what they were going to discuss. For example, if grain production was reduced this autumn, would it have an impact on the imperial court's intention to mobilize troops in Liaodong? Zhao Mo seemed to be the person in charge of raising military rations. Could it be that he wanted to

To solve the food problem, he has to go out on a long trip, right?

Qin Hanzhen expected it to be true. Zhao Mo mentioned in front of Qin Bai and Qin Ping that he might have to go on a long trip in the near future. He might not necessarily need to go as far as Jiangnan, but he would at least go to Shandong to make it easier.

A large batch of grain returned to the capital. Mingli said this batch of grain was to be used to stabilize grain prices in Zhili after the autumn harvest was reduced. In fact, everyone knew that it was to prepare for Liaodong.

Zhao Mo said: "The batch of grain I raised earlier will probably be used to provide relief to the victims and stabilize food prices. In order to ensure that there is no shortage of food in Liaodong, I can only make another trip to the south. Right now, it is just a short distance from my wedding to my cousin.

It’s less than a month away, so the wedding date can’t be changed if nothing happens. I will rush back as soon as possible to deliver the work. This is just a paragraph

During this time, I may lack some etiquette towards my grandparents and my fourth cousin." When he said these words, he felt full of reluctance. Originally, he would probably not be able to see Qin Hanzhen for a long time.

He can only think of a way in private, but now he can't even think of a way in private. He is about to leave the capital. How can one not regret it?

Regarding this, both Qin Bai and Qin Ping were very understanding: "The court's business is important. You are young and strong, and it is your time to contribute to the court. You should do your best to serve the court and the emperor."

Perhaps considering that Zhao Mo was going to work hard soon, both Qin Bai and Qin Ping treated him more considerately than before. He said he was going to see his cousin, and even Qin Ping didn't say a word against it, so he just acquiesced. Zhao Mohuan

He happily pulled Qin Hanzhen out of the house and went to a quiet corner of the corridor. Qin Ping actually endured it, as if he hadn't seen anything, and only talked to his mother and wife.

Qin Hanzhen was quite happy to see Zhao Mo. Just when he was about to talk to him about some common things, he heard him mention that he was going to Beijing to run an errand. He suddenly became depressed: "Where are you going? Shandong? Listen.

It doesn't seem very far, but

If you want to raise food, is twenty days enough for a round trip? Don't miss the wedding date." Thinking about it carefully, her dowry was soaked by the rain before, and Zhao Mo had to go out to Beijing for business at this time.

, seems a little unlucky?

Zhao Mo comforted her softly and said: "I will definitely get things done as soon as possible and rush back to Beijing. I won't delay the wedding. Cousin, just don't worry!"

Qin Hanzhen sighed and softened his expression: "Forget it, don't be too reluctant. The errand is not easy to handle. If you make any mistakes in order to rush for time, or tire yourself out, wouldn't I think that

Are you happy? You are doing things for the court and the people, so it is only right to do your best. As for the wedding date, you are missing this new bride.

Sir, the wedding can't be held. You are out of Beijing on a mission from the emperor. The clan will definitely reschedule the date. If the clan doesn't say anything, the emperor will rebuke them. Don't worry, just finish the job well.

Now, let the emperor praise you more, and the courtiers will know that you are a hard worker. When the time comes, wouldn't it be better if you come back in glory and marry me?"

Zhao Mo laughed when he heard this: "That is indeed better. Cousin, don't worry, I know it well."

Qin Hanzhen nodded and said: "If you are raising grain in Shandong and encounter officials or grain merchants who are indifferent and uncooperative, you can ask Cousin Wu to inquire. Although he is only a magistrate in Jining,

But with his temperament, he must be familiar with the personnel situation in Shandong, and he may have some clues about several officials, and maybe he can help you."

Zhao Mo was startled, then smiled and said, "Sure, I will contact my cousin."

Qin Hanzhen gave him many instructions and remembered that she had just made him a long rainproof hooded cloak and a pair of cowhide rain boots. It might be a little hot to wear in this season, but it is still very convenient in rainy days.

, we have to give it to him.

Zhao Mo held her hand: "Just send someone to deliver them to me later. It's not like my cousin has never made clothes and shoes for me on weekdays. The size must be right, and you don't have to try them on. I finally came here.

, Cousin, please talk to me more."

Qin Hanzhen blushed a little: "What are you talking about? I don't know how to raise food."

Zhao Mo smiled. If it was a matter of raising food, he had experience and knew what to do. There was no need for Qin Hanzhen to discuss it with him. He wanted Qin Hanzhen to talk to him about common things, gossips and rumors.

, just like they talked when they were together on weekdays. Even if it was just trivial matters, he was willing to listen to her, just like a husband and wife chatting at home on weekdays.

Qin Hanzhen's mind was filled with the fact that he was leaving the capital, and she had no intention of talking about some gossip. Seeing that Zhao Mo wanted to talk about family matters, she casually mentioned the injury of her second roommate, Uncle Qin.

Because Uncle Qin had injured his hands and feet, although the sprain on his feet might not prevent him from attending her wedding banquet, since he could not move his right wrist, he would not be able to eat or drink by himself if he really wanted to attend the banquet.

It will affect the injury. Therefore, Qin Bofu may not be able to attend the wedding banquet or even watch the ceremony. He can only let other people from the second room come to congratulate him.

Qin Hanzhen didn't care about this, he just wanted to mention it to Zhao Mo. But Zhao Mo was thinking in his heart that this second cousin of the Qin family only wanted to please himself all day long. He looked very upset, but he couldn't refute it.

He lost his face. Now that he can't come to his wedding banquet, everyone has peace of mind, and he is still looking forward to it.

Zhao Mo smiled and did not comment on this, only saying: "The Pei family will probably calm down for a while, and Miss Qin will not come out to cause trouble again for the time being."

Qin Hanzhen agreed very much: "Although the Pei family pursues fame, wealth and power, and is not very smart, they are not stupid enough. They should not easily amplify my cousin to cause trouble. Now that the second sister has escaped her clutches, I will wait for me to meet her."

The fourth sister is already married, so there is nothing to worry about her."

Zhao Mo asked: "Isn't there another fifth girl?"

Regarding this issue, Qin Hanzhen clicked his tongue, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.
