When Pei Qi came out of the house, Qian He saw the joy on her young master's face, and knew that the conversation between Pei Qi and Zhao Shutong turned out very well.

"Master, Mr. Zhao has left, where are we going now?" Qian He asked.

Pei Qi took Qianhe and ran back to Pei Shilang's study, and made a big request for Pei Shilang to engrave the seal, and asked his father to find someone to engrave the seal for him.

It's rare for Pei Shilang to see what he likes, and Pei Qi also likes it, so he happily accepted Pei Qi.If it wasn't for Pei Qi's urgency, he would have no time on weekdays, so he would have planned to go into battle himself.

The wise and powerful servant did not know that Pei Qi suddenly became interested in the seal because he thought that the next time he saw Zhao Shutong, he would also stamp him, so that he would not think about other wild brothers Wild woman, so it seems fair.

"Master, have you and your master settled yet?" Qian He asked after returning to Qiwu Courtyard.

Pei Qi is full of joy and wants to share it with others, even if Qianhe doesn't ask himself, he will take the initiative to say it, and besides, he will ask Qianhe to help him send letters between him and Master on the fifth day of the next month, "Master said, go back now Prepare the betrothal gift, and come to propose marriage in three months."

"That's great, young master. You finally got what you want, and Qianhe wants to marry you." Qianhe said happily without principle.

Pei Qi also couldn't do without his first puppy leg, "Of course I can't do without you."

"My lord, this young master Xi went to the study of Lord Shi Lang twice, and once to see Mrs. Zhao off." Bai Lu, the first-class servant by Pei Yinlan's side, came to him and reported back.

"Grandfather gave him something nice again." Pei Yinlan pouted.

Bailu didn't go along with Pei Yinlan. From his point of view, Master Pei Qi is the youngest son of the servant, and the servant should give him whatever he wants.Moreover, even if these things were not given to Pei Qi, they would not reach Pei Yinlan's hands.

Pei Yinlan also knew this truth, but she was a little jealous.

"When Master Pei Qi went to see off Mrs. Zhao, he entered the guest house full of anger, but he came out happily. I heard from the servants of the guest house that Mr. Zhao asked for help because Master Pei Qi didn't go to class for two days. Mr. Shi Lang asked to resign, and Young Master Pei Qi felt that he had lost face, so he went to settle accounts with Mrs. Zhao to vent his anger." Bai Lu said.

"He will show off his prestige." Pei Yinlan pursed her lips, her tone full of indignation towards Pei Qi.

There is no chance for others to make progress. As long as Pei Qi moves his mouth, his grandparents will meet him with what he wants, and he doesn't know how to cherish it.

"Where's big sister?" Pei Yinlan asked again.

"Missy doesn't do anything other than take care of her own yard these days."

"She's stable." Pei Yinlan said disdainfully.

The family said they were relatives, there were only a few young talents, Pei Yinyi could only pick what was left of Pei Qi, but as for him, he might not be able to pick what was left of these two.He didn't believe that Pei Yinyi had no complaints against Pei Qi.

Pei Qi didn't know that his nephew and niece regarded him as a stumbling block in their marriage, and they only cared about his own happiness.

**

Walking out of the gate of the Minister's Mansion, the spring wind blew in front of him, and Zhao Shutong felt relaxed.

Kyoto is worthy of being the most prosperous place in this dynasty, and its growing popularity makes it more vibrant.The greening in the city is well done, and there are basically trees planted in the yards outside every house. This kind of living environment is still very pleasant.

Zhao Shutong walked leisurely on the street. Although it was inevitable to fight with Pei Qi during this period of time, Zhao Shutong felt that this was the happiest time he had ever lived since the end of the world broke out.

Moreover, this peaceful and prosperous age will continue forever, and the end of the world will never come again.

When Zhao Shutong walked to the Liji Snack Shop on Ping'an Street, he smelled the aroma of the food and suddenly felt his appetite whetted. He chose a seat in the yard and sat down, "Boss, here is a bowl of wontons."

An old man with gray hair yelled inwardly, "Do you want some side dishes? Yes, please wait a moment, they will come right away."

Zhao Shutong waited for a short while, and wontons and two plates of cold side dishes were brought out.The skin of Li Ji’s wontons is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the filling inside, which is meat lumps tightly hugged with other side dishes.The milky white soup smells very delicious, with seaweed and shrimp floating on it.With such sufficient materials, the price of wontons is naturally not low.

Zhao Shutong took a sip of the soup and took another bite of the wonton.A feeling of enjoyment spread from the cavity to the stomach and then to the whole body, and he felt that his whole body was stretched out.

Since the end of the world, he hasn't eaten a few good meals.

The food in the Shilang's Mansion is also very good, but when he was in the Shilang's Mansion, he had to maintain his personality, fearing that his eating like a starved ghost would scare people, so he didn't dare to open up and have a big meal.

The wonton tasted good, and Zhao Shutong couldn't help but speed up his eating, and soon a bowl of wonton was eaten.

"Boss, another bowl." Zhao Shutong added another bowl.

The boss came out to get the bowl, and seeing Zhao Shutong's appearance as a scholar, he couldn't help saying, "I've never seen a scholar who can eat like you."

Zhao Shutong didn't feel offended but said, "Boss, scholars can eat it too."

The boss was a little flattered to see Zhao Shutong with such a good temper. There are usually scholars who come to him for dinner, but most of them don’t like to care about others. It’s rare to meet someone who is kind. Ah, reading is more exhausting for the brain, you scholars not only need to eat more but also eat well."

When Zhao Shutong was waiting for the second bowl of wonton, he caught sight of a beggar not far away begging. Pedestrians avoiding him. Begging, he lifted him up and dragged him towards the gate of the city.

Then Zhao Shutong heard Li Ji and the diners in the nearby shop whispering:

"again."

"I saw one on Nanxin Street two days ago, and now Jing Zhaoyin has ordered that refugees not be allowed to enter the city, and the city gates are strictly checked. Anyone who is a beggar in the city will be expelled."

"This is too pitiful. These people came to the capital after traveling so far, just wanting to find a way to survive."

"It's pitiful, but the officials are afraid that they will collude with those outside the city and cause some trouble to harm us people in the city. For the sake of stability in the capital, they can only be driven out of the city."

"In the past two days, some big families have been serving porridge outside, and the imperial court will arrange for them soon."

"I heard that the female relatives of Prime Minister Qian's family went to give porridge yesterday. The prime minister's wife has a good heart. When the porridge was given out in the winter of the previous year, I had the cheek to rub a bowl of it. The porridge can really stand up to chopsticks."

"The younger sister of the prime minister's wife married the imperial merchant Cao's family. I really don't know who paid for the money." Someone said in an old way.

"It doesn't matter who pays for it, as long as someone gives the porridge."

Zhao Shutong was listening carefully to someone saying that the boss brought him wontons, and he asked, "Boss, where do these beggars come from?"

"There is a severe drought in the northwest, and these are all refugees from there."

"There was a severe drought in the Northwest. When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it?" Zhao Shutong asked again.

The person who ate wontons at Liji heard Zhao Shutong’s question, and sat down next to Zhao Shutong, “You are a scholar who doesn’t listen to things outside the window, and only reads the books of sages. It’s been two years. Too much. The year before last, the officials over there hid it and didn’t report it, thinking that the next year would be better. As a result, there was still a severe drought in the second year. But they couldn’t survive anymore, and they all left their homes and ran out.”

"Refugees came to the capital last month, and the matter couldn't be suppressed. Only then did the emperor know that the drought in the northwest was so serious, and he immediately dealt with a group of corrupt officials." The man said this with a sense of satisfaction, "Now the court is trying to find a way What about disaster relief?"

Zhao Shutong was shocked that the severe drought in Northwest China had been concealed for two years.

Such a thing happened in the future world, it is definitely a sensational thing.He only knew that it was common for officials to lie to others, but he didn't expect that these officials didn't take human life seriously at all.

The last days are already very tragic, but here is a man-made hell.

Zhao Shutong couldn't help but feel a little mocking.

"If you ask me, the people in the northwest are almost running away. I'm afraid there will be no one to find when the relief food arrives." Another person approached and said.

"With food, people will go back."

"Scholar, aren't you scared stupid?" The first person who shared the table with Zhao Shutong pushed him when he saw that Zhao Shutong didn't speak.

Zhao Shutong came back to his senses, "It is indeed a little frightening. The court has not received any news in the past two years."

"Let me tell you quietly, no one else knows. I still heard from my uncle who delivered food to Prince Cheng's mansion that the governor of the Northwest is the younger brother of the imperial concubine and the emperor's brother-in-law. The imperial concubine gave birth to the emperor's second son. He didn't say that the people below dared not report it. They were officials, they still collected taxes, they didn't take less money, and they didn't take the people seriously. For this matter, the emperor even abolished the imperial concubines. "

Many people didn't know the inside story, so they all came together.

Zhao Shutong quickly finished his meal, paid the bill, left Liji snack shop, and walked towards his home in Shitai Village outside the city.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Zhao Shutong found that the inspection for entering the city was much stricter.

There were still more than a dozen refugees who wanted to enter the city gathered at the gate of the city, and the two imperial guards were evacuating them. .”

Driven by the forbidden army, the refugees walked towards Nanzhuang one after another.

Shitai Village is thirty miles west of the capital. Zhao Shutong walked straight home after leaving the city gate. On the way, he saw a few ragged refugees who seemed to have fled from a refugee, but there were not many such people and they were scattered. , Not enough to arouse Zhao Shutong's vigilance.
