Asking the emperor for a day to think about it is because Qin Luochuan wants to go back and discuss with Shang Qingyue before making a decision. He is not alone now, not only has a husband, but also a child, and he is not the kind of bossy person. For such a big matter in Southwest China, Shang Qingyue must agree to it.

Before the emperor asked him to step down, Qin Luo first said: "Can I take a closer look at this map?"

After hearing the request, the emperor raised his eyes to look at Qin Luochuan for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said, "Let's just watch it in the imperial study."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Luochuan cupped his hands in thanks.

On the cowhide that almost covered a desk table, the mountains, rivers and rivers of the four southwest provinces were drawn in detail. Qin Luochuan was sure that there was probably no more detailed map than this, except for the emperor, and once he went to the southwest, there would be such a If there is a map, it will definitely save a lot of things.

It was not until after noon that Qin Luochuan wrote down all the contents of the entire map, and only after confirming that he would not forget it did he return the map.

After that, he didn't go to the Hanlin Academy, but went home directly.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the house, Qin Luochuan said to Uncle Fu who came up to him: "Now let someone go and invite uncle over here, saying that I have something to discuss with him about the Southwest."

Yesterday when they were discussing the flood in the Southwest, they didn't deliberately send away the servants in the mansion. Naturally, Uncle Fu knew about the situation in the Southwest, so he immediately turned around and arranged for people to go.

Not only Uncle Fu, Shang Qingyue was also very surprised when Qin Luochuan came back at this time. After hearing the servant girl's report, she immediately came out to welcome her, and asked with concern, "Why did my husband come back so early today? Have you had lunch yet?" ?”

Hearing Shang Qingyue's question, Qin Luochuan realized that since he was summoned to the imperial study room in the morning, he hadn't even had time to drink tea, let alone eat. Being mentioned by Shang Qingyue, he could not help feeling Hungry and thirsty.

So he ordered the servant girl behind Shang Qingyue: "Su Xue and Ting Yu, go and prepare me something to eat."

After speaking, he looked at Shang Qingyue again, and continued, "I have something to discuss with you."

His expression was serious, and he came back suddenly at this point. It can be predicted that the things to be discussed are by no means trivial.

Shang Qingyue raised her heart, but she didn't ask directly in the yard. After returning to the side hall of the small courtyard where they lived, Shang Qingyue poured a cup of tea for Qin Luochuan first and said, "Mr. Drink a cup of tea to soothe your throat."

After drinking a cup of tea without a drop of water all morning, Qin Luochuan felt that his throat that was about to smoke finally felt a lot better.

Then he stared at Xiaotuanzi who was taking a nap next to him for a while, then pulled Shang Qingyue to sit down next to Xiaotuan, and said slowly: "Today, the emperor asked me if I would like to be responsible for this trip. Southwest disaster relief, and the follow-up investigation and management of Yunjiang."

After he finished speaking, Shang Qingyue's eyes were dazed for a moment. She didn't know whether she hadn't reacted or was too shocked by the information in the words. After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses, her eyes focused, and was held by Qin Luochuan hands clenched unconsciously.

He asked with some difficulty, "Then...are we going to set off with my brother?"

Qin Luochuan put his hands into Shang Qingyue's fingers that were about to clenched into fists, and interlaced them, and replied with a smile: "Although the emperor intended to let me go, he just asked me if I was willing, and he didn't force me. I fought with him for a day. time to consider."

Both hands were held tightly by Qin Luochuan, and Shang Qingyue's uneasy emotions were calmed down little by little, and she couldn't help but cast a glance at Qin Luochuan and said, "Can the holy will still bargain?"

"Others may not be able to," Qin Luochuan said in a low voice, "but with my father around, we can occasionally be unrestrained."

The holy will is like a mountain, how can it be so easy to change, if they don't want to go to the southwest, because of their father's relationship, the emperor may agree, can they follow?I'm afraid the emperor will never trust her husband as much as now, after all, no one would want a disobedient subject.

How could Shang Qingyue not understand such a simple truth.

So he asked, "Why didn't my husband agree immediately?"

Qin Luochuan laughed, "I have to discuss this with you when I come back."

Even though the result of the discussion was the same as when there was no discussion, Shang Qingyue still liked the feeling of being respected, so she swept away the previous uneasiness, and there was a smile on the corners of her brows and eyes, "Although everything in the southwest is not as good as the capital, but In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, not only is it not far from my brother, but when we settle down there, maybe we can take my father over there."

From the words spoken by the emperor and King Ning, both of them knew that Qin Yan could not return to the capital for some reason, but they did not say that he could not go to other places.

Unexpectedly, Shang Qingyue was more decisive than him, Qin Luochuan squeezed his hand and said: "So you decide to go to the southwest?"

Shang Qingyue said: "It doesn't matter where I go, as long as my husband is here, I can go anywhere."

Qin Luochuan knew that his words must come from the heart, but he still said: "I can go to the southwest, but whether you and Xiaotuanzi will go with you now will have to be discussed after discussion."

"Why?" Shang Qingyue asked anxiously, "Xiaotuanzi and I are going to be with my husband."

"I want to be with you too," Qin Luochuan explained helplessly, "but such a large flood in the southwest cannot guarantee absolute safety. There will be epidemics, Xiaotuanzi is only one year old, how can he let it go to such a dangerous place."

As he uttered every sentence, the light in Shang Qingyue's eyes dimmed little by little, and finally she lowered her head and said in frustration, "I see."

He loves Xiaotuanzi as much as his husband, so how could he not understand her husband's feelings.

Seeing his expression of about to part, Qin Luochuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother said earlier that Rongcheng would not be affected by floods, after asking brother, if it is really safe there, you and Xiaotuanzi can go to Rongcheng first with brother to settle down , I will come to you again after the flood is resolved.”

Upon hearing this, Shang Qingyue stood up and said, "I'll send someone to invite my brother over now."

"When I came back, I had already been invited," Qin Luochuan said, "If there is nothing wrong with my brother, I should be there in a short time."

Shang Qingyue hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Then I'll ask Suxue and the others to bring the food over quickly."

"Sit down," Qin Luochuan pulled the person back to his original position and sat down, "They will send it over when they're done."

The two of them sat on the low step for another half-pay, during which no one spoke, only the small sound of the little dumpling next to him in his sleep.

All the previous emotions gradually became flat, and Shang Qingyue said, "I used to hear people say that the southwest is poor and bad, but when I think about going there, I'm actually a little scared."

"Don't worry," Qin Luochuan said seriously, "with me around, nothing will happen."

Qin Luochuan had just eaten, and Shang Minghe and Zhou Xun hurried over.

Both of them had fine sweat on their foreheads, apparently they ran in through the door after getting off the carriage, Shang Minghe asked, "But what's the hurry?"

Shang Qingyue said: "The emperor wants my husband to be in charge of this trip to the southwest for disaster relief, as well as the follow-up management of Yunjiang."

They didn't tell Shang Minghe about Qin Yan's relationship with the royal family, so Shang Minghe didn't know that there was room for discussion when he went to the southwest. Years to the present, all officials who have made some achievements there will be promoted much faster than other places, but now that there is a flood, it may not be convenient to bring a small group to go there."

"This is exactly what we are worried about," Qin Luochuan said, "so I want to ask you, since Rongcheng is not affected by the flood, is it not easy to have diseases in the future, can Qingyue and Xiaotuanzi go there first?

"Otherwise, we can only let them stay in the capital first, and I will come back to pick them up after the matter is settled."

Shang Minghe thought for a long time before saying: "It will take nearly 20 days to travel from the capital to the southwest. After you work there, it is unrealistic to go back and forth again. It would be a good idea to go to Rongcheng first." My idea is that when there were floods in the past, some refugees would flee to Rongcheng, but it would not cause any impact, and I have a residence there, so if Qingyue goes with Xiaotuanzi, we can take care of it."

Whether it was out of selfishness or otherwise, Shang Minghe felt that it was a very good choice for his younger brother and nephew to live in his own house first.

Compared with staying in the capital, Shang Qingyue was more willing to go to her elder brother's house in Rongcheng, so the matter was settled like this.

It was only a few days before they set off, and they had a lot of things, Guang Xiaotuanzi could fill several carriages by himself, Shang Qingyue ordered the maids to clean up, but at the same time, she felt very headache.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun hurriedly said: "Let them pack up the commonly used ones first, and take them away with us when we leave, and seal the rest in a box. After the business over there is finished, I will ask the guys from the business to come over. Send things over."

Qin Luochuan is going to the Southwest for disaster relief this time, and it is really not appropriate to bring too many things. It would be great if he could handle it like Zhou Xun said, so Shang Qingyue hesitated and said, "Will this be too troublesome?" is you?"

Zhou Xun laughed, "Now you and I are so polite, and I have a lot of things to send over later."

Shang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhou Xun was already married to her elder brother, and he would be unfamiliar with many things no matter how polite he was, and the favor from her elder brother's family could be repaid at any time, so she smiled and said: "Then thank you Brother Xun gone."

You don't have to take everything with you at once, and it's much more convenient to tidy up.

With Shang Qingyue taking care of the family affairs, Qin Luochuan didn't need to worry too much.

Early the next morning, he went to the palace and told the emperor that he agreed to go to the southwest.

The emperor was not surprised at all when he heard it, and instead asked his servant to give him an imperial edict. Qin Luochuan felt something in his heart, and after opening it, he saw that the contents were indeed asking him to go to the Southwest for disaster relief, and to be responsible for the subsequent river construction and water conservancy matters.

Qin Luochuan knew about this a long time ago, but when he saw the official position bestowed on him by the emperor, Qin Luochuan was inevitably shocked. Danzhou Tong knew that this was a fifth-rank official, compared with the sixth-rank attendant he currently held, it was even worse. Not to mention being promoted to two levels, it is a position that has real power and can directly report to the emperor.
