Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

September 16th, at 1:00 am.

Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu slept soundly in each other's arms for several hours like two hibernating bears.

Because he had been a vegetarian for seven or eight days and had gone through so much hard work over two days and one night, Xie Zhaozhao was so tired that he was a little dazed.

However, they both woke up on time at the hour of Mao when it was time to go to court.

Yuanyuanman has already lit up all the lights, and Qingpu Courtyard is full of light.

"Little darling, you sleep a little longer. You don't have to pay your respects." Gu Shaoyu was away for the past two days, but he knew everything that went on at home.

He just couldn't deal with certain people for the time being.

Just as he stood up, he suddenly saw the tent above his head seemed to be shaking?

Both of their bodies were shaking, and they felt dizzy and nauseous.

Xie Zhaozhao said in panic: "It has begun!"

Gu Shaoyu quickly put on his clothes and tied the belt for her, and the two of them quickly ran towards the cabin in the yard.

When I walked out of the door, my feet were shaking violently and the wooden window frames were clattering.

Everyone in Qingpuyuan knew that an earthquake was going to happen.

Because Xie Zhaozhao told Yuanyuanmanman that the weather was abnormal, and Nanxing and Beichen both received news from the Taishi Bureau that there might be an earthquake in Zhongzhou, which would affect the capital.

But when the earthquake came, everyone was still a little panicked. After all, this was the first time they had experienced an earthquake in their lives.

Zhongzhou is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital, but the tremors here are still very strong.

Obviously, the severity of this earthquake exceeded Gu Shaoyu's expectations. He did not expect that Kyoto would also feel such a strong tremor.

He quickly ordered Nanxing, Moyan, Xuli and Guanyan: "You guys, go to each door and each household in the mansion and the street and ask everyone to leave the house immediately and go to the spacious outside."

Several people obeyed the order and immediately ran out of Qingpu Courtyard, shouting, "The ground is shaking, hurry to the open courtyard."

"The ground is shaking!"

"The earth dragon is turning over, leave the house quickly!"

At the hour of Mao, most of the officials in the noble district of West City had already gotten up. In the dark, these cries were still sharp and piercing, making people extremely uneasy.

In particular, they also banged the big gong loudly.

No one expected an earthquake. Some people were still asleep, but after being awakened, they ran out of the house without even having time to put on their clothes and shoes.

The entire West City was filled with panic.

Everyone has felt the earthquake, but many people didn't think about it.

Soon, the whole street was filled with people.

Everyone was in a panic, and the children huddled in the adults' arms in fear.

"what happened?"

"The earth is shaking."

"I heard the windows rattle."

“I walk crookedly.”

The earthquake was not a continuous shaking. After one wave just passed, the earth seemed to have returned to normal, but the chickens and dogs were still restless.

"Wang Wang Wang"

"cluck"

The restlessness of these animals made the atmosphere in the entire Kyoto even more tense.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the earth shook again.

"Moyan, go to the street near Xie's house and beat the gong. Go on horseback." Xie Zhaozhao said anxiously, "Warn them."

Mo Yan rode away on his horse.

Gu Shaoyu held her hand tightly and said, "I want to go to the palace to accompany His Majesty! Xiaoguai, don't go anywhere, just stay in the wooden house."

"it is good."

Because Xie Zhaozhao had mentioned that dream, Gu Shaoyu called Nanxing, Beichen, Moyan and a group of people a few days ago to build several wooden houses in an open area in the yard.

The second wave of earthquakes was much more severe than the first, and the entire earth was rumbling.

From the first time people from the marquis's mansion shouted "There's an earthquake" on the street, the government also sent people to remind every household to escape.

Everyone in the city who could escape from their houses ran out, and those who couldn't run were carried out.

The streets were filled with people wrapped in bed sheets.

There were no casualties, but everyone was scared.

In the morning, as soon as the rice shop opened, the price was posted: 50 coins per catty.

People are like this. When the price was 3 cents, no one was in a hurry to buy it. Now it is 50 cents, and people are chasing the rise and selling the fall. Rice has become 17 times more expensive, and people are scrambling to buy it.

It is said that earthquakes usually last for at least a month, and sometimes even for decades. Therefore, it is necessary to stock up on daily necessities such as rice, grain, and salt.

Xie Zhaozhao called Guanyan over and said, "You guys should take your rice bags and go to the rice shop to buy some food. Pay attention to the prices of each rice shop. Buy a few bags if they are less than 100 coins, and don't buy anything if they are more than 100 coins."

Mo Yan and Guan Yan stuck out their tongues: "Oh my God, 100 coins? This is too outrageous!"

"If you have grain to buy, buy it now. I'm afraid that in the future you won't be able to buy a pound of rice for 100 coins."

Mo Yan and Guan Yan went to buy food. Yuan Yuan didn't say a word. She knew her master's arrangement, so she said nothing.

Earthquakes continued to occur, so Xie Zhaozhao quickly wrote a letter and said to Yuanyuan, "Go to the Xie residence and give this letter to my grandmother."

Yuanyuan stuffed the letter into her arms and rode to Xie's house.

The Xie family was also tense. When Lao Qin saw Yuanyuan coming over, he asked hurriedly, "Is the eldest lady okay? Is the elder okay?"

Yuanyuan thanked her and said everything was fine, but she had to see the old lady urgently.

Lao Qin quickly led the way and took Yuanyuan to see Old Madam Xie.

Old Madam Xie had already hidden in the wooden embroidery building with her family. Having experienced many things in her life, she was very calm. Her face changed color only when she saw Yuanyuan coming.

"Miss, are you okay? Is Lord Gu okay?"

Yuanyuan immediately bowed and said that Lord Gu and the eldest lady were both very nice, but they asked her to deliver a letter urgently.

Old Madam Xie took the letter and saw what Xie Zhaozhao had written. She was stunned for a moment and said to Yuanyuan, "Good child, go back and tell the eldest daughter that grandma has remembered everything and ask her to take care of herself."

After Yuanyuan left, Old Lady Xie looked at the letter again and said to Aunt Xu, "Tell the buyers that the rice on the farm is enough for the Xie family, so there is no need to buy rice from outside."

Aunt Xu replied yes.

in the hall.

Emperor Hui led his ministers to hold court in the all-wooden hall of the imperial palace. "There was an earthquake today, so special matters need to be handled specially."

Lord Gu, His Majesty, the Crown Prince and others have gathered information from various sources and have determined that Zhongzhou County is the epicenter of the earthquake and has suffered extremely severe damage. However, it is impossible to count how severe the damage is because the earthquake is still ongoing.

All we know is that the government office of Zhongzhou County collapsed and the county governor disappeared.

Countless houses collapsed and countless people and animals went missing.

"We must send people to provide disaster relief as soon as possible," Emperor Hui looked at his ministers, "Let's discuss who should be sent?"

Duke Cheng En was the first to speak up: "The people of Zhongzhou have suffered severely from the disaster and are in mourning. They need the court's comfort. I think this person should not be too low-ranking."

Elder Liu nodded: "I think selecting one from among the princes can best reflect the royal family's love for the people."

Many ministers stood up and said “I second the motion”.

Indeed, this is the time for the royal family to demonstrate God's grace and it is also the time to win the hearts of the people.

The prince's visit not only represents the royal grace, but more importantly, the opening of warehouses to release grain and emergency rescue will be very efficient.

"Okay, then choose my son. Who is willing to share my worries?" Emperor Hui looked at the princes in the court.

The youngest son, Zhou Jingyi, is only 12 years old and is not considered. As for the other three adult princes, the Crown Prince, Prince Qi, and Prince Jin, one of them can be chosen to go to provide disaster relief.

The prince said: "Father, I am willing to go."

Prince Qi: "I am willing to go."

King Jin: "I am willing to go."

Duke Cheng'en stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend the Crown Prince to go. The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne and can best embody the grace of the Emperor. He will share the joys and sorrows with the people and help them overcome difficulties."

All the officials on the prince's side immediately said, "I agree. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the best embodiment of the emperor's grace."
