Lingzhi was also happy.
Thanks to their timely arrival, the losses caused by this flood were the lowest in history.
They relocated people in low-lying areas to temporary residences in advance, and the subsequent casualties were zero. This report card can be said to be a perfect score.
As post-disaster work proceeded step by step, the relocated people returned to their homes.
The water traffic that had been stagnant for nearly a month was finally restored, and more ships were seen on the river.
Lingzhi and his men, who were ordered to come to the disaster relief, finally completed their mission and would be returning to Beijing soon.
Today, Lingzhi, Xiao Qingyun, Su Shisan and Shen Yuchao went out with a few people.
The streets have returned to their former bustle, with all kinds of food for sale.
Today, Shen Yuchao wore a white robe, which looked fluttering. He was truly a modest gentleman, gentle as jade.
"My dear, you look so handsome today!"
Lingzhi squeezed in front of Shen Yuchao, with little stars in her eyes.
Xiao Qingyun and Su Shisan, who were following behind them, looked unhappy when they saw this.
Su Shisan shook the green robe on his body and muttered, "Oh, if I had known Lingzhi liked white, I wouldn't have chosen this robe today."
Xiao Qingyun, who was dressed in a black robe, glanced at him and said, "This robe is okay. It would be even better if it were paired with a hat of the same color."
"Oh? What does that mean?" Su Shisan scratched the back of his head.
Xiao Qingyun ignored him and walked forward after saying that.
"Hey, are you cursing me to be cuckolded?" Su Shisan chased after him.
In front, Shen Yuchao was in a good mood when he heard Lingzhi's praise: "You are so sweet, what do you want to eat? This young master will buy it for you!"
Lingzhi narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Really? I want to eat candied haws!"
When Shen Yuchao heard this, she hurriedly caught up with the vendor in front and bought her a string of candied haws.
Lingzhi held the candied haws in her hand, gently took a bite of one, and ate it with relish.
Seeing that Lingzhi was eating so sweetly, she smiled at Shen Yuchao in front of her with curved eyebrows.
Su Shisan, who was following behind them, was not happy about this. He turned to Xiao Qingyun and said, "Look, Lord Shen is really stingy. He could have bought a few more strings without losing a few copper coins, but he only bought one. Buying one more string would kill him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyun replied, "Maybe. He only has enough copper coins to buy a string of candied haws. If you want to eat candied haws, I can buy it for you."
Su Shisan snorted in a haughty manner: "Humph! Why should I ask His Majesty to buy it for me? I'm not that shameless. If I want to eat, I won't buy it myself. I have plenty of money."
The two of them were bickering all the way, but Shen Yuchao ran to buy osmanthus cake for Lingzhi, looking like a gentle male god.
Lingzhi was eating a candied haws in her hand while staring at the osmanthus cake, feeling indescribably comfortable and satisfied.
"Lingzhi, eat slowly."
Seeing that she had already started eating, Su Shisan was unwilling to be left behind. He immediately pushed Shen Yuchao away and took out a handkerchief to wipe Lingzhi's mouth.
Lingzhi stuffed the food into Su Shisan's hand, took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
At this moment, she saw a beautiful carved silver bracelet from the stall. She picked it up and put it on her hand, then casually asked Su Shisan, "Shisan, do you think this looks good on me?"
Her snow-white skin looked even whiter under the reflection of the carved silver bracelet.
"You look good in anything you wear."
Su Shisan smiled and responded, then turned to ask the stall owner: "How much is this bracelet?"
The stall owner smiled and replied, "These bracelets are sold in pairs, eight taels a pair!"
Su Shisan waved his hand and said, "Okay, wrap them all up. This prince wants them."
Lingzhi spread her hands and said, "I was just planning to go shopping, but I ended up buying so many things and now I have to ask you to pay. I'm so sorry!"
The stall owner wrapped up the items and said with a smile, "Women dress up to please themselves. Since you have such a handsome husband, you should spend money on dressing up for him to see!"
"He is not my husband!"
Lingzhi's cheeks flushed a little, and she quickly waved her hands to explain.
The stall owner gave Lingzhi a smile that showed he understood and handed the package to him.
Xiao Qingyun had been watching all this with narrowed eyes, but now he could no longer bear it.
He walked towards Lingzhi in full view of everyone, and then, as if to prove something, he pulled Lingzhi into his arms.
Stall owner: “…”
Su Shisan: “…”
Shen Yuchao: "..."
I was completely stunned.
Lingzhi uncomfortably pulled Xiao Qingyun's hand away and kept some distance from him.
Xiao Qingyun glanced at her with a slightly dark look in his eyes, then turned to the stall owner and said, "This pair of bracelets doesn't suit her. Get me that jade hairpin and wrap it up."
"Hey, the bracelet is so beautiful, why doesn't it fit me?" Su Shisan finally reacted.
"If I say it's not suitable, then it's not suitable." Xiao Qingyun had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were surprisingly cold.
Su Shisan looked at Xiao Qingyun with a sneer, and Xiao Qingyun also looked at Su Shisan without avoiding.
For a moment, there seemed to be lightning and thunder in the air, and the situation was tense.
"Forget it, forget it, pack up both the bracelet and the hairpin, I like them both."
Lingzhi stood on tiptoe and inserted herself between the two of them, and the atmosphere was finally temporarily eased.
As time passed, Lingzhi realized that it was a wrong decision for her to go shopping with three men.
Su Shisan and Shen Yuchao looked at her passionately, making her feel uncomfortable during the fight.
Xiao Qingyun had a dark face the whole time, and kept glancing at her with cold eyes.
At first she was quite happy to be able to go out shopping, but now she feels like she is being tortured along the way.
Lingzhi used the excuse of being tired to end this painful street journey.
When they returned to the government office and the posthouse, He Deshui had prepared a farewell banquet and officials from various departments were waiting for them.
After several people entered the banquet, they drank happily.
Lingzhi had drunk a few more glasses of wine, and felt his face flushed and his ears hot, so he walked unsteadily to the corridor outside to cool down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she was blocked in the narrow corridor.
At that time, the banquet behind him was bustling with people and the sound of clinking glasses could be heard everywhere.
Lingzhi raised her hazy drunken eyes, and saw the man's clear and smooth lower forehead line. Looking up, she saw a pair of upturned peach blossom eyes, fair skin, and a handsome and unparalleled appearance.
"It turns out to be... the Regent!" Lingzhi's tongue was a little big.
Xiao Qingyun leaned the Ganoderma against the corridor wall, and to match her height, he squatted slightly.
"You seem very happy today?"
Xiao Qingyun asked in a bad tone.
Surrounded by young heroes, she really had a great time!
"Happy? Oh, no, no, it's torture!"
Lingzhi shook her finger, looking disapproving.
As I was shaking, I almost fell down.
"careful!"
Xiao Qingyun frowned and reached out to support the staggering woman.
"No! Don't touch me!"
Lingzhi waved her arms to reject his touch, but because her movements were too big, she accidentally fell backwards.
Xiao Qingyun hurriedly tried to pull her, but accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt that was dragging on the ground.
There was only a "swish" sound.
