Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chapter 158 Making something out of nothing

Cao Luyun led his maid and stood at the door, looking at Lu Huai who was rummaging around in the house and felt a bit at a loss.

After looking at it for a long time, she asked tremblingly: "General, what are you looking for?"

Lu Huai looked back, paused for a moment, and said, "It's a book I read in the old days."

After that, he went to look for it again.

As soon as Liang Huan entered the room, she heard a rustling sound and looked at each other strangely with Lu Xiu.

When Cao Luyun heard the person coming forward, he bowed and said, "Are your lord and Liang Ji here to see the general?"

Lu Xiu nodded slightly and went to the inner room.

Liang Huan stayed to talk to Cao Luyun.

Lu Huai finally searched to no avail, so he had to give up, but there was still a little sadness between his brows.

Cao Luyun has asked people to prepare tea fruits.

Liang Huan saw that Lu Huai was distracted, "Brother, what are you looking for? I'll help you look for it again later."

Lu Huai came back to his senses, thought for a while, and looked over: "The book you mentioned to me in Zhou Mansion."

Liang Huan was startled and stood still.

That day at the Zhou Mansion wedding banquet, the story she mentioned was something she read in a book at home, not Lu Huai's study. At that time, she just said it casually, but now Lu Huai told her that he was looking for her to tell it. that book……

Does he really have that book on his bookshelf? Is it lost now? It had been so long, how could she still remember what the book was?

Seeing several people looking at her, Liang Huan gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "I'll help you look for it in the next few days."

"Okay." Lu Huai said simply.

Liang Huan was even more confused. What was the meaning of making something out of nothing?

After sending Lu Huai away, Liang Huan and Lu Xiu returned to Nanyuan.

Liang Huan frowned and said nothing.

Lu Xiu glanced at the distracted person beside him and said calmly, "Isn't it the book he is looking for?"

Liang Huan stopped and looked over, "I flipped through a few books on his bookshelf, but it wasn't the one I was talking about. Even if it was, the content in it was ordinary. Why come here in such a special way? You still let me continue. Looking for it? What do you mean by saying that?"

Lu Xiu pondered for a moment, "Maybe I'm reminding you."

"Reminder?" Liang Huan was confused.

Is there anything you can't say directly, but you have to be so cryptic?

The more Liang Huan thought about it, the more confused he became.

Lu Xiu pursed his lips slightly. Lu Huai looked like he was looking for something, but what he was looking for was definitely not an ordinary book.

For several days, whenever Liang Huan had free time, he would go to the East Pavilion to look for the book that was made out of nothing, but to no avail and did not find any difference.

Every time she looked for it, Cao Luyun would stand aside and watch.

As the days passed, the disaster outside became more and more serious. As expected, the drought was followed by the locust plague.

In the Gengyin month of the tenth month, locusts came from the east and covered the sky.

I don’t know when, but gradually there was a rumor that there was an evildoer causing trouble, angering God, and sending down punishment.

The locust plague was serious and rumors spread everywhere. Gao Qian had no choice but to lead a group of ministers to worship heaven and gods in order to avoid disasters. He even followed the advice of Prime Minister Cao to grant amnesty to the world and change the reign name.

Locust temples were built among the people, and people also knelt down to pray for blessings.

In the end, it doesn't help.

For a time, many of their sons and daughters were sold in exchange for rice, so that the fields were starved and devastated.

Even so, the royal family has not curbed their extravagance.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty also took the opportunity to provoke wars at the border several times. Just in case, Lu Huai led his troops to garrison near the border.

It was so difficult right now, but it was only half of the experience. Liang Han sighed silently.

"Liang Ji, the rice porridge is ready." Bai Lu walked in from outside the house.

Liang Huan nodded and stood up, following her out.

Cao Luyun was already ready and waiting for her at the gate of the outer courtyard.

The disaster was serious, and many refugees flocked to Jinye. In order to prevent those who wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the capital, Prime Minister Cao suggested setting up a tent twenty miles outside the city as a temporary shelter, and stationing troops to guard it to prevent the refugees from being instigated and causing chaos. In the event of turmoil, the officials and their families in the city could set up tents and give porridge every day.

Since it was Prime Minister Cao's suggestion, Zhou and Lu were naturally the first to respond at this juncture.

Liang Huan and Cao Luyun go to give porridge every day.

At first, there were only a few scattered households. After the Queen Mother and the Empress unanimously praised the move, there were indeed many more people giving porridge.

Cao Luyun is still Mrs. Sima outside.

Coming here every day, the guards were very familiar with them and their attitude was very polite.

Perhaps this was the suggestion of Prime Minister Cao. Cao Luyun was very concerned about giving out porridge and did it himself. Liang Huan had no intention of competing with her for the limelight, so he helped out from the side.

The porridge stall next to them belongs to the Zhou family. If Cao Luyun is trying his best, he is still slightly inferior to Cao Danqing next to him.

Her long hair was tied into a high bun. Apart from a few plain hairpins, there were no other gorgeous jewelry. Her clothes were mainly plain colors, dignified and elegant.

Liang Huan was observing from the side intentionally or unintentionally. Since Cao Danqing got married, there have indeed been quite a few changes.

Since he started giving porridge, he not only didn't cause trouble to her, but also treated her politely, which was really impressive.

Liang Huan couldn't help but laugh. After all, Zhou Yun was quite charming.

Cao Luyun was still serving porridge. When Liang Huan saw that it was almost over, he simply gave up his position and turned around to go behind the porridge shed.

Liang Huan glanced at the guarding soldiers and said to Bai Lu: "Go and distribute the brewed tea. Just say it was sent by the Taishi Mansion."

Bai Lu nodded.

Liang Huan looked at the sea of ​​refugees and felt slightly worried.

Although giving out porridge every day can solve immediate urgent needs, it is ultimately a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

It's not like she hasn't thought about taking this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, but after all, the people are innocent.

She was once starved of food and suffered from hunger and cold. Every day when she opened her eyes, she would worry about food for the day. She would go into the mountains and forests to dig wild vegetables and find wild fruits... and later even narrowly escaped death.

Liang Huan lowered his eyes and slowly sat down.

"Ji Liang."

A clear voice interrupted her memories.

Liang Huan raised his head and saw Cao Danqing with a smile.

"Can I sit down and talk to you?" The wind made her voice light and not aggressive at all.

Liang Huan also smiled at her: "Please sit down."

After Cao Danqing thanked her, he sat down opposite her.

Liang Han still felt a little uncomfortable with such a pleasant-looking Cao Danqing.

Cao Danqing looked at Bai Lu's retreating back and smiled slightly: "In the past, my father and brother always praised you in front of me. At that time, I was very unconvinced."

Liang Huan smiled lightly and poured her a cup of tea that had just been distributed, and said with a smile, "Try it."

Liang Huan also felt quite sentimental when thinking of Cao Jun.

Cao Danqing took the tea, paused, and then said: "I really like you now."

That's right.

Liang Huan laughed and said, "Mrs. Shaobao, you're welcome."

Cao Danqing glanced at the figure who was giving porridge in front of him, "In the first few days when I came here, I was worried that you would have a dispute with my sister, but after observing these days, you actually gave way to her in everything. That position should have been yours." It’s yours, but you—”

Liang Huan: "I'm not letting her go, I'm just helping Zhou Yun."

"I know this. It was my sister who asked him for help," Cao Danqing picked up the cup and took a sip of tea before saying, "It's the Queen."
