[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

With a solemn expression, Zhan Zhao told Mu Yan what happened in the capital after they left.Not long after their family left, Kaifeng Mansion was overcast and rainy for a long time. The heavy rain lasted for more than ten days and then stopped slowly. Many villages along the Bian River outside Beijing were submerged. The flood flooded hundreds of hectares of fertile land and affected tens of thousands of people. , the relevant people under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng are busy with this matter.Bao Daren's T-shirt Zhan Zhao did not reunite with his family for a long time and did not notify him in particular.In ancient times, there was no telephone network, the news was blocked, and Mu Yan's family traveled by water when they came back, and they were too busy taking care of several children to care about other people's words, so that they didn't know about Kaifeng's flooding until they came back.Zhan Zhao didn't have time to rest at home, so he followed the people of the government office into the hectic disaster relief work.

Hearing the seriousness of the disaster from Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help feeling anxious.Throughout the ages, catastrophes have been accompanied by the spread of the plague, and even modern times with prosperous medicine cannot escape, let alone ancient times with backward medical care.Thinking of this, Mu Yan hurriedly explained to Zhan Zhao the precautions for modern disaster relief and epidemic prevention while the girl was packing up and changing clothes for Zhan Zhao. Disinfection etc.Although Zhan Zhao doesn't quite understand the key point, he firmly believes in what Mu Yan said, and agrees to tell Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun her opinion.

After returning from Zhan Zhao's first day, the two had a hasty farewell, and they didn't see Zhan Zhao for more than a month.The number of victims in Kaifeng Prefecture is also increasing day by day. Several porridge factories have been set up in the city, and the porridge is given out twice a day in the morning and evening. The news that the victims died of illness and starvation.Mu Yan took the girl to visit a few times, it was really sad, looking at those children who were waiting to be fed and the sick and weak old people, Mu Yan once again deeply thanked the people in Guda for their hard life, and they were displaced after some disasters, Even if he met an upright official like Mr. Bao, and he was at the feet of the emperor, he could only barely eat and wear, and the submerged farmland and houses would not be compensated at all.Unlike modern times, although good farmland and houses are destroyed, the state will provide resettlement and appropriate compensation. Even if life is not as good as it was originally, and the houses are not as gorgeous as before, at least they will not have no place to live and no food.

In order to do her best for the victims, Mu Yan asked the girl to provide a part of the silver to buy cloth and cotton, asked the girl in the embroidery house to stop the business that was not in a hurry, allocated half of the people to make bedding and clothes for the victims, and called the servants of the family to collect old clothes from the neighbors. It is nothing to distribute to those helpless women, children and the elderly. After all, it is not unusual to collect old clothes for disaster relief in modern times.But there was no such practice in ancient times. Mu Yan's move not only won the praise of the female family members of the Kaifeng government office, but also made many officials in the city follow suit. After all, this move did not cost much money and gained a good reputation. Old clothes have accumulated negative virtues for themselves, so why not do it all at once.

Mu Yan didn't expect that her own kindness would lead to a large-scale charity movement, so that even the Queen Mother knew Mu Yan's name after the resettlement of the victims had achieved initial success. Alright, now that I know that even Zhan Zhao's wife is so smart, I specially asked the emperor to commend her.Prime Minister Wang and the Eighth Prince in the Jinluan Palace added icing on the cake to Mu Yan. The emperor was overjoyed and appointed Mu Yan as the second-rank wife on the spot. He praised Zhan Zhao and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion one by one. Suddenly, Kaifeng Mansion There is no two in the limelight.

On the same day, Zhan Zhao returned home with the order from the palace and the emperor's reward, and set up an incense table to receive the order to thank him. A bunch of rewards in a daze.Zhan Zhao, who rarely saw Mu Yan's stupid look, couldn't help laughing out loud for a moment.Mu Yan came back to her senses when she heard Zhan Zhao's laughter, and pointed to the things on the table and asked Zhan Zhao: "Is the emperor so exaggerated? Isn't it just a few rags and a few beddings? With so many rewards, it seems that it is not difficult to win the emperor's favor."

After listening to Mu Yan's words, Zhan Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "The reason why the emperor is happy is not because of a few quilts and a few old clothes. The court's usual practice in the past is that the clothing, food and rice for disaster relief are directly allocated by the Ministry of Households, and donated by the Huimin Department." Donate porridge and medicine. If you need bedding and cotton clothes in winter, you will need funds to purchase and make new clothes, which not only costs money but also takes time. But this time you not only do charity by yourself, but also drive people around you to do charity together. This time because of everyone’s donation , the imperial court saved a lot of money, and not only the officials and family members of Beijing and China, but also the officials and family members of nearby places joined in the donation to do their best for the refugees. And after this incident, the emperor and the responsible officials of the Huimin Department After research, it is decided that in the future, each locality will set up a "benevolent bureau", which is under the jurisdiction of the Huimin Administration, and purchases old clothes and objects from the people and accepts donations all the year round. The clothes were washed and repaired, and half of the clothes were recorded and put into storage for future disasters. The other half were placed in the Huimin Department and sold at a low price to the people in need. The common people have benefited from it, and they also helped the imperial court when the catastrophe came. These inspirations all come from the kindness of the madam. How can the emperor not favor him? This time, it is an honor to be a husband. "

Hearing Zhan Zhao's praise, Mu Yan was happy but not so happy.There is no other reason, just because this time the flood also submerged Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao's farm in the suburbs of Beijing.Although Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan's family property is not what it used to be, the flooded farm is not a big loss.However, a flood not only flooded the farmland, but also buried the long-term workers living in the village into the flood.After the flood is over, the farmland can be cultivated again, but the names taken away by the flood will never come back. Every time she thinks of this, Mu Yan feels that she killed them.

Knowing his wife Mo Ruofer, how could Zhan Zhao not know what Mu Yan was thinking.However, as an official of the imperial court, he has participated in disaster relief many times, and he has met countless victims, and he knows that the law of heaven is ruthless, and he regards everything as a humble dog.Disasters such as floods, fires, earthquakes and tsunamis, although disasters have no eyes and no distinction between high and low, but in the end, most of the people who suffer because of this are poor people.But I heard Mu Yan said that the place where she used to live was not like this. Even if the natural disaster is ruthless, the basic life of the people can be guaranteed.Originally, Mu Yan was a soft-hearted person, and treated the servants she bought with courtesy. She never did anything to bully the servants. Now that those long-term workers are drowned in the flood, Mu Yan must feel sorry for herself and feel that she has harmed them. .

Zhan Zhao stood behind Mu Yan, took Mu Yan into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Yan'er, don't be sad. There is nothing you can do about it. If you feel sorry, let's help them more That's it. Ever since you knew that something happened in Zhuangzi, you have always been unhappy, and the atmosphere at home has dropped a lot. Not to mention the servants in the family, even the two children are cautious when they see you. You just Please take pity on me and the children, these days I help adults with disaster relief matters, I don’t eat well, I don’t sleep well, and I don’t have time to take care of you, if Shuang’er hadn’t told me about the things in Zhuangzi, I would have thought I had done something wrong I made you angry. Before I came back today, I went to Xiufang once, and asked Chunhong to help send silver and clothes to the homes of those long-term workers who were affected by the disaster. I also invited a doctor to treat the elderly at home. Don’t worry. Here Smile to see if it’s okay for your husband, don’t keep a straight face.”

Be careful when listening to Zhan Zhao's company, and make small gestures, and Mu Yan shouldn't be too hypocritical.Then he turned around and hugged Zhan Zhao's waist, buried his face in Zhan Zhao's clothes and said in a low voice, "I just feel uncomfortable, and I always feel that it's because of our long-term workers that we died. Although I know it has nothing to do with it, but it's still I can't make it through. I will adjust my mentality and not make it too difficult for you. I have been so busy these days that I have been sad and sad that I didn't even take care of you and my son. Seeing that you have lost a lot of weight after being busy, it is hard to raise it Now there is no more meat, and it feels bad again.”

Zhan Zhao couldn't catch up with Mu Yan's thinking for a while, he was depressed just now, but after a while he thought of his hand feeling, and even pinched her waist twice, this girl is really the magic star in his life.But no matter what, as long as she can be happier, just pinch it.

In the next few days, Mu Yan slowly adjusted her mentality with Zhan Zhao's company and the child's gags.Gradually letting go of the deaths of the long-term workers, Zhan Zhao personally took over the aftermath and kept Mu Yan from interfering. Mu Yan was also happy to be at leisure, and began to concentrate on caring for her husband and raising her children at home again.The only difference from the previous life is that this righteous act won the favor of the Queen Mother and Empress Di, and from time to time, Mu Yan was sent to the palace to chat with her. Banquets with traditional names are simply too much trouble.It wasn't until three or five months later that the queen mother gradually stopped talking with her, and the banquets gradually became less.

Zhan Zhao's life is still as busy, but the days when he went back to warm soup and hot meals are gone. The couple often don't see each other for a few days. Zhan Zhao is also depressed for several months before returning to his previous life. Zhan Zhao's deepest heart My feeling is: Marrying a smart daughter-in-law is sometimes not so pleasant.
