Chapter 202 It's alright
...
...
Jizhou City.
Feeling dizzy and disoriented, Pei Zhichuan bumped his head against the wall while walking, and his vision went black.
"Young Master!"
Ah Fu rushed over and caught it, otherwise it would have been seriously injured.
Seeing the handsome young man wither like a flower in just one month, Afu was heartbroken.
"Young master, you should rest. Your body can't take this."
After arriving in Jizhou, Pei Zhichuan worked with the prefect of Jizhou to provide disaster relief.
So far, the imperial court has only distributed disaster relief grain once, which is far from enough to help the snow disaster in Jizhou.
Help me up.
Pei Zhichuan was still clean and presentable, but his exposed hands had slight frostbite.
Afu was anxious. "Young master, you're all alone. What can you do by yourself? Even if you work yourself to death, you can't save all the people in the city. Let's go back. Madam has already sent messages several times. She's so worried about you."
Pei Xiang's son, whose maternal family is the Cui clan of Qinghe, was born into a wealthy and powerful family. Why would he need to suffer like this?
“I left when Minxian was occupied by the rebels, and now I have to leave again. What use is it for me to have read so many books of sages and worthies?”
Pei Zhichuan felt that he had been out of touch with the suffering of ordinary people, and now he thought that the people of Min County were living a miserable life.
Now, looking at Jizhou City with my own eyes, and then looking back at Min County, I can only imagine how peaceful and prosperous the people of Min County are.
He has sent letters home several times, but so far there has only been one shipment of disaster relief grain.
This was only because he delivered the message; what if he hadn't?
“I’m going to ask for help myself.” Pei Zhichuan stood up.
"Young Master..."
"Alright, that's enough, Afu. If you say any more, you can go back by yourself. I can't keep you here." Pei Zhichuan's face was cold.
Afu gritted his teeth, "Young master, you rest, I'll go!"
Afu ran outside, the biting cold wind stinging his face.
...
...
It hasn't snowed or been windy these past two days, and the weather has warmed up.
It was already quite hot wearing a cotton-padded coat at midday, and people basking in the sun had rosy cheeks.
Just as they were about to have lunch, Lin Anyuan rushed back from outside.
"What's wrong?" the old man coughed and asked.
After settling down, the old man with the cough returned to his old profession, opening a school to teach children to read and write.
Tuition fees remained very low, and some children could even pay on credit if they couldn't afford the fees.
No one knew that the gaunt old man who gave the child his first education was actually a renowned Confucian scholar.
"I am going to war with King Jing."
Lin Anyuan stared intently at Ye Wan.
"How could this have happened so suddenly..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence, realizing that such matters should not be mentioned.
Since we've already become rebels, we should naturally stick to it to the end.
"I'm going to pack my things, wait for me a moment." Ye Wan got up and walked towards the room.
Lin Anyuan looked at the three girls and said, "You three, take good care of your mother while I'm not around. She took care of you before, but now that you're older, it's time for you to be sensible."
Daya said seriously, "Dad, don't worry."
Er Ya nodded. "Dad, I will definitely take care of Mom. You must also be careful."
Sanya clenched her fists. "Father, I will protect Mother!"
Lin Anyuan asked Huigu to take extra care of him, and Huigu agreed.
He knelt down, looking at the old man coughing and Aunt Cai.
"Father, Mother, your son-in-law is unfilial."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. You're not exactly filial by nature, but you're always up to no good, confiscating property and exterminating families. Do you think I'd stop you now?"
This was his most prized disciple, and also the only one no one knew about.
However, the old man always knew that golden carp were not meant to stay in a pond; once they encountered the wind, they would transform into dragons.
Ye Wan quickly packed everything she could think of for Lin Anyuan.
Just as I finished tidying up, Lin Anyuan came in.
Lin Anyuan looked at Ye Wan with a deep gaze.
"Wanwan, wait for me to come back! I want to marry you in style!"
Ye Wan chuckled, "Those who say things like that are usually cannon fodder who never come back, so you'd better not say it."
"Wavy..."
Lin Anyuan pulled the person into his arms.
Ye Wan hugged him back, "You have to come back, or I'll marry someone else. I'm definitely not going to stay by your side."
Lin Anyuan burst out laughing, "You really have no conscience."
"You just like that I'm heartless?"
"like."
"You must stay safe and sound."
"good."
"..."
Lin Anyuan died before Prince Jing, and not many people know this.
He's gone, but things at home remain the same.
Ye Wan came out of the house and bumped into Ye Hua.
Ye Hua is lost in thought.
"Big sister, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing the sound, Ye Hua snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "It's nothing."
She had just seen Daya and suddenly remembered that Chu Xiujie had been following Daya around busily yesterday.
Chu Xiujie saw Da Ya again when he left today...
She originally wanted to tell Ye Wan about this, but then felt that she shouldn't say anything, since Daya has always been a sensible child.
"Big sister, you should go out more often. Staying at home is too boring. You'll get bored to death."
After arriving in Ganzhou, Ye Hua still did not go out.
She spends her days either reading and writing or threading needles and embroidering, becoming increasingly quiet.
Ye Hua looked at the green shoots emerging from the corner of the wall in the distance, "Little sister, it's been so long and we still haven't heard from Cao'er. Could she really be..."
Since the last time, I haven't heard from Ye Cao at all, and I don't even know if she's still alive.
The leaves and flowers will always remember.
Now, only the three sisters remain as her family, and she misses Cao'er.
Ye Wan held her hand, "My three sisters are all lucky, my second sister will definitely be alright."
...
...
"Young master, you will be alright."
Looking at Liu Wenshu lying on the bed with a pale face, Lü'er couldn't stop her tears.
Lu'er did not give Liu Wenshu the medicine given by Madam Cui, but told him the truth.
Now, Greenie is pretending to be Liu Wenshu's concubine.
The Cui family managed to smooth things over, but Liu Wenshu was still poisoned after attending a banquet. The cause of the poisoning has not yet been found, and they can only watch his body deteriorate day by day, just like before.
"Greenie, you won't betray the young master, will you?" Yantai looked at Greenie.
With tears streaming down her face, Greenie said, "Young Master has been kind to me. If I betray him, may I be struck by lightning!"
"Alright, you stay here and watch over the young master, I'll go think of a solution!"
After gritting his teeth and finishing his sentence, Yantai turned and left.
After Yantai left, there was no one else in the room except for Lü'er and Liu Wenshu.
Greenie stared blankly at the unconscious Liu Wenshu for a long time.
She came alive to this bustling capital city, but is she really destined to be a slave for the rest of her life?
I don't know about my eldest sister and younger sister... Never mind, she's having a hard time herself right now, how could she possibly care about so many other things?
