The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

With these two confused brothers, even if Baoqin had seven points of resourcefulness, he would have to spend nine points on making amends at this moment.

In the long corridor, Bao Qin, wearing an off-white cloak, walked quickly. On the snow-white cloak, on the left side of the hat brim and at waist level, there were two exquisite late plum blossoms embroidered. This is Suzhou's embroidery technique. Almost fake.

As the girl took a few steps forward, the plum blossoms on her cloak swayed in the light outside the corridor, really like a proud plum blossom in the snow.

Walking to the door of Xue Biao's room, Baoqin didn't care that the owner was not there, and opened the door directly and went in.

All the way to the closet, she thought about what her brother was wearing when he went out this morning.

Miss, how about this one? Chun Yan was a little more clever than Xue Yan, and took the initiative to help his lady pick up her clothes.

Xue Baoqin looked at the clothes in the maid's hand, but shook her head. It's not a bad thing, this fox fur cloak looks good, and it's also warm enough. But my brother is out of town this time to provide disaster relief, so it’s ridiculous to wander around in this dress.

It should not interfere with work, but also keep warm and fit well. Xue Baoqin turned his head and thought for a moment, then picked out a goose feather cloak with a straight collar. The color was dark red, and even if it was stained with some dust, it would not be noticeable.

This one is good, this one is good. Chun Yan said happily, took the clothes from Bao Qin and was about to turn around and leave.

Yan'er, wait a moment. Baoqin suddenly stopped her.

Chunyan turned sideways and blinked curiously.

Didn't you find the young master's clothes? He's going home to stay at night, so he doesn't need to bring two pieces with him.

Xue Baoqin couldn't help biting her lower lip. The shape of her lips was not as thin and flexible as Daiyu's. Instead, she had full and red lips. Just looking at them reminded people of ripe fruits. .

She turned her back and recalled Chen Heng's figure, her face couldn't help but blush. The raised fingers paused on the pieces of clothing. Baoqin remembered that he liked to wear a blue gown, if it was matched according to his preference.

This light green goose feather straight-collared cloak is quite nice. Xue Baoqin nodded secretly. Chen Heng was only a little taller than Xue Biao, so it was appropriate to just take his brother's clothes right now.

Take it with you. When Xue Baoqin turned around, the blush on her face had already subsided. She handed the clothes to Chun Yan and warned, Before you go out, tell Manager Xu and ask him to send a servant to accompany you out of the city.

Then who should I give it to? Chun Yan was stunned and didn't really react.

This idiot, just give it to your brother. He has such a good relationship with the Chen family brother, can he still wear it for others?

Xue Baoqin controlled his vibrato and said as normally as possible: To brother Chen.

Oh. Chunyan nodded, without any doubts, just took the clothes and ran out.

Seeing the maid leaving, Bao Qin sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and pulled the white cloak. Just as he closed the wardrobe and was about to get up and leave, Chun Yan came back with a sad face.

Miss, miss, I remembered that the city gate is only open for two hours every day.

Ah, Bao Qin opened her mouth slightly and suddenly realized what she was saying.

It is true that every wise man will make mistakes. Baoqin comforted Chunyan and said, It's okay, I just didn't think of it. In this case, let's go to the kitchen to prepare some food, and you can take it with you when the time comes.

This preparation takes a lot of effort.

Bao Qin thought of his brother's character of making friends, and also thought of Qian Dayou and Jiang Yuanbai who had been to the house several times, so he simply prepared for four or five people.

By the time this matter is finished, it will be almost time to leave the city.

Chun Yan was holding a full food box in his left hand and two pieces of clothing in his right hand. Some weird people got on the carriage leaving.

It’s not like our family is short of clothes. Since we’ve prepared dishes for four or five people, why not pick out a few more clothes?

Come to think of it, this is the second mistake of a wise man.

…………

…………

Chen Heng, Xue Biao and others followed the officials out of the city, so the government's ban could not stop them.

When the students came outside the city, they were shocked by what they saw.

In the cold winter, dense crowds of victims sat around the river banks and official roads.

In the distance, in the second uncle's shop, several people were busy making porridge.

The officials came here with the students from the academy. They met with a few soldiers first and handed over the matters.

He left behind an old official who could take charge of matters and hurried back to the city with most of his colleagues.

There are still many things in the city waiting for them to deal with when they return, and there is no time for the scholars to get familiar with them. Regardless of whether they know it or not, they just have to get on with it first.

Among this group of people, Cui Youdao has the highest reputation. He followed the old official and wrote down what he had to do later.

The other students did not wait for the signal and assigned several people to take over the cooking task on the spot.

We need to keep track of where they came from, whether they have family members, whether they are in the city or outside the city. If you meet someone who is looking for someone, ask them to write down the information. We made a notice board before, so you just have to order someone to put it up. Above. Be careful when you go out to talk. There may be sharp weapons hidden among these people...

This old official named Jia actually didn't agree with letting these talents get involved.

Studying and doing work are two different things. No matter how good you are in the academic exams, they are all in the books. When dealing with people, you rely on another brain.

But he couldn't help it no matter how much he disagreed. Now Yangzhou City needed people everywhere.

Various counties also sent letters one after another, asking the government to send people to help.

Everyone wants to break it in half to use it, and it's always good to have a few more helpers now.

Seeing what the old official said in such detail, Cui Youdao quickly nodded in agreement.

But this old official didn't dare to make excuses. After all, the other party was a senior official, so he had to be more careful with his words.

This is another difficulty. The person who really knows how to do things is in the lower position, but the person in the higher position is a scholar full of bookishness. I don’t know if the subsequent communication will go smoothly.

As soon as Chen Heng and Xue Biao approached the porridge shop, Chen Huaijin recognized them at a glance. It is difficult for my own children to admit their mistakes even if they look at their backs from a distance.

Heng'er, why did you come out? Chen Huaijin's head was filled with questions. You are not at home supervising your brothers' studies, so why did you come out?

Chen Huaijin had seen a lot of fights and injuries in the past few days. When he saw Chen Heng here, he felt 10,000 disagreements in his heart.

After Chen Heng explained clearly what happened in the academy, Chen Huaijin could only sigh and pulled Chen Heng, Xue Biao and others into the porridge shop, You guys stay here honestly, the outside is not as good as in the city, you all listen to my second uncle. You don’t know what outrageous things these people did on the way to Yangzhou.”

Have you seen the officer with his arm bandaged? A few days ago, he only said a few words loudly to someone, and then he was stabbed by a homeless man. Fortunately, it was in his hand. If he had been stabbed on his body, he would have died half of his life. Chen Huaijin quietly pointed at the soldiers guarding the porridge shop.

Jiang Yuanbai was stunned. His blood boiled with excitement when he heard it in the academy. After hearing this, he felt that the matter was difficult. He was a little scared and asked: Is it so terrible? What happened to the refugee?

Chen Huaijin said without comment: Kill him, what else can he do?

Chen Heng raised his eyebrows. The atmosphere outside the city was indeed much more tense than he thought.

But there is no one to blame. The sage also said: If you have enough resources, you know the etiquette. The victims felt that they had no chance of survival, so they naturally became violent.

What can be done to make the victims let down their guard? Chen Heng frowned and thought about it carefully. If this stalemate continues and tens of thousands of disaster victims start to cause trouble, it will definitely not be a simple solution.

There's no rush. ​​Seeing his friend's worried look, Xue Biao knew that the other party must have thought of something that he hadn't paid attention to, so he had to comfort him first, Let's find out the situation clearly first.

Chen Heng nodded, Xue Biao's words made sense. Only by ascertaining the cause of the disease can we prescribe the right medicine.

I just happened to take this opportunity to see if the strategy I wrote yesterday is good on paper and can be used in practice.

Several people were busy in the porridge shop until the afternoon, but they saw two unexpected people.

First came Xin Suzhao, who came riding a red light. He and ten soldiers stood outside the porridge shop and smiled at his classmates: You didn't expect me to come.

Su Zhao, you are too majestic. Qian Dayou exclaimed on the spot when he saw the opponent wearing armor and carrying a bow.

What man can withstand this kind of temptation? The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star.

Hahahahaha. Xin Suzhao raised his head proudly, showing off in front of acquaintances, this is really cool.

He turned over and jumped off the horse, Knowing that you are here, I specially asked for your life to come over. We can be considered to share the joys and sorrows today.

Jiang Yuanbai could not help but circle around the red light. Even in books, such a handsome and luxurious thing could only be seen occasionally.

Awesome, Brother Xin, your horse is so beautiful.

Xin Suzhao almost had pride written all over his face, Be careful, this horse is fierce and recognizes people. If you get kicked, don't blame me.

Several people were chattering in the cold wind, and a beautiful figure also came to the porridge shop, Master, the lady ordered me to deliver something.

Xue Biao saw that it was Chun Yan and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome her in with the boy.

Here, these are the clothes that the lady picked out for you and the young master of the Chen family. She was worried that you two would not have enough clothes. Chunyan didn't look at the people in the venue and directly handed over two velvet and thick clothes.

Do we have any? Jiang Yuanbai looked at his eyes and asked a lot.

Miss has prepared food for everyone. The little maid asked with an unexpected answer.

When everyone heard this, they could no longer hold back and looked at the two people who were getting dressed.

I can't bear it, I can't bear it. I'll go have dinner and come back to see it again.

There are a lot of things at work these days, so the update time may be irregular, so please bear with me, brothers.
