Chapter 173: Ahe, Where Should I Look For You?

or hundreds of years, he deserves some peace and happiness.""That's right, that's right. We are lucky enough to see the Emperor with our own eyes tonight, it is already a blessing from heaven, we don'...Quan Qinghua carried people out of the ruins, but he didn't know where to take them.

The Dust King's Palace is gone, now if you want to sit down, you can only sit on the ground. 。He didn't care, but what about Feng Zhaolian A person was still leaning on his shoulder. He turned his head to look and saw that her eyes were closed, but tears streamed down her face incessantly, almost soaking through his thick winter robe. 。He was truly worried and asked her, "What's wrong" The person on his back didn't answer. Someone came over to help, wanting to take Feng Zhaolian off his back, but Feng Zhaolian hugged his neck even tighter and said, "Don't let strangers touch me." 。He then dismissed his servants, and alone he carried her from the guest courtyard to the main courtyard. When there was nowhere else to go, he heard Feng Zhaolian say: "I'm fine, I just remembered some things I had forgotten before, and some people " 。He probably got hit on the head by a ceiling beam. That must have cleared his head up! 。It's clear, but I still don't know where to find them, and even if they're still alive. 。My heart is filled with longing, but there's a possibility I may never see you again in this lifetime…”

In the inner city of Lin'an, Li Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Li family, sat in a soft chair and was carried out from the imperial palace 。Her mother, Tao, followed behind her, saying as she walked, "It's fortunate that your light kung fu is solid. Although you've injured your foot, the injury isn't very serious." 。But the imperial physician still needs time for the empress to recover, you really shouldn't be in such a rush to leave the palace right now. 。Tao stared at the street scene as he spoke, his heart filled with anxiety. 。I wonder how things are at home. I hope your father is well. 。“He paused for a moment, then added in a hushed voice, ‘I also hope that those who deserve to die will be killed.’” 。Li Yanran glanced at the palace maids carrying the chair. Seeing that they hadn't heard anything, she breathed a sigh of relief and then said to Tao Shi: "I also know I should recuperate, but now is the best time to leave the palace. Mother, everyone is helping me, I can't be the only one who doesn't try." 。" Tao took a deep breath, feeling more and more satisfied with the daughter she had raised. " 。To be able to see the current situation clearly and know what to do at this time is the most correct choice, even if you encounter setbacks, you can quickly put them behind and come back fighting. 。This is the kind of hope that the Li family should cultivate the most. Compared to the one in the palace, her daughter is undoubtedly much stronger in terms of character and intelligence. 。The palace guard, Li Yanran, sent Lady Li back to Li Manor. After glancing at the intact manor, seeing nothing amiss, he bowed and returned. 。Before leaving, I did keep that soft armchair. The reason is that Ms. Li has an injury on her foot, and a soft armchair would be more convenient for her. 。Li Zhiyuan seeing his daughter emerge from the palace safely and in good spirits, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. 。At the same time, I was also grateful that Yanran had left the banquet hall before it collapsed. Otherwise, with her injuries, she might not have been able to escape such a situation. 。Li Yanran, however, saw Li Zhiyuan with his arm bandaged. She couldn't help but worry and asked what was wrong. Had he been injured when the earth dragon flipped overLi Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head: "Our family mansion is well-built, with no collapses throughout the entire house. This arm of mine wasn't broken today..." 。"If it wasn't bad today, it was bad last night. Li Yanran lived in the palace and naturally heard about what happened to the phoenix at Feidian." 。including her aunt, Empress Dowager Li, rushing back in panic and running into her room to point at her and scold her. 。She and her mother, Mrs. Tao, still don't understand why Empress Li got so angry, nor do they know what the collapsed palace hall has to do with her. 。She remembered her aunt's every word, each sentence pointing out that she shouldn't compare herself to Ye Wen when it came to dancing. Her aunt warned that her competitiveness would sooner or later bring harm to the Li family. 。 Tao Shi stepped forward to care for Li Zhiyuan, and also asked about the situation at the house. After hearing that there was nothing wrong with the house, he made a plan with Li Yanran: "Yanran, we must do something, only in this way can we show the righteousness of the Li family at this time" >>> 。And this matter still needs to be spearheaded by Yanyan. In the future, when it comes to rewards based on merit, it will also be Yanyan's credit. 。" Li Zhiyuan nodded, “You’re planning to do the right thing, but how to make this achievement truly impressive, you need to think deeply about that.” 。Li Yanran had already figured out how to do it. She ordered people to set up a large awning outside the Li Mansion. Several rice merchants under the Li family's name brought their stored rice over and handed it to her. Then, Li Yanran presided over the cooking of porridge and its distribution. 。The porridge shed at Li's house quickly drew a crowd of onlookers, but most were just curious observers. Very few people actually came forward with bowls to beg for alms, and those who did were mostly shopkeepers from the inner city. 。The mansion wouldn't be able to bear the shame, how could it possibly do something that was equivalent to begging. 。This scene made Old Madam Li frown. She asked Li Zhiyuan, "You spent many years raising your daughter, and this is the idea she came up with Carefully consider who is coming to receive porridge. Are you saying that our Li family wants to progress further, to avoid being eliminated, relying on those merchants You expect a daughter with such a limited mind to replace Xiao Han, and rely on her to fawn over the new Emperor Don't you find this ridiculous" Li Zhiyuan listened meekly, after all, she was his mother, and he couldn't say much. 。But doing nothing instead represented a kind of attitude, that is, he believed in Li Yanran and was willing to turn his back on his own sister for her. 。Tao shi naturally had the same idea, and even retorted to her grandmother: "At last night's palace banquet, even the late emperor's will was brought out, but it clearly wrote the name of the current emperor." 。Mother, if Prince Six even had a glimmer of hope, we wouldn't be taking this path. 。We really can't see any hope. We can't possibly use our family business and years of hard work to rebel just because the Empress is unpopular. 。That's too much risk, and too much responsibility. Could a mother destroy the foundation of the Li family that her daughter married out of for one daughter The daughter-in-law analyzed, "I'm sure the ancestors of the Li family wouldn't agree either!"

Mentioning ancestors successfully shut the old madam up. 。Although her heart yearned for the daughter in the palace, she couldn't afford to gamble away the Li family fortune, nor could she risk the livelihood of so many people. 。Overthrowing a regime isn't that easy; it's called rebellion. If you succeed, fine, but if you fail, the Lee family will be branded as traitors for generations to come. 。Either there will be no more generations, or the nine clans will be exterminated, and everything will end here. 。With the old lady remaining silent, Li Zhiyuan’s heart finally relaxed. Tao Shi went to arrange for people to help cook porridge, while Li Zhiyuan stood at the gate of the mansion, watching the constant stream of people at the porridge shed. He couldn't help but wonder what Li Yanran's intention was behind all this. 。The old madam wasn't wrong either. People from the official residence wouldn't come begging for charity, but merchants could. But what use would it be for the Li family to curry favor with those merchants It would just be a waste of rice! Though not many people came, in just a few hours from noon till dusk, Li Yanran's reputation spread throughout Lin'an's inner city. 。Li Jia's elder sister is a truly kind person. She stepped up to help after the disaster, even though she was injured herself. It's truly admirable and sets a wonderful example for women. 。 Some people also disdain her actions, after all, the inner city is dominated by official residences, and the mansions are wealthy. Since their houses have collapsed, they still have reserves of rice and noodles. Who would come here to beg for foodSo someone suggested: "If Li wants to do good deeds, she should go to the outer city, where true relief is needed." 。Li Yanran then smiled, using a voice that was extremely pleasant to say to him, “You’re right, the outer city will definitely suffer more serious damage, and people need food even more.” 。But have you ever thought, compared to the outer city, the stability of the inner city would be more important 。Only when the inner city is stabilized can those in the imperial court have the time and energy to help the people of the outer city. 。Otherwise, we would only be giving out porridge to the people in the outer city and ignoring those in the inner city. When would this end It's not that the Li family cares about money, but they are worried that if Lin'an City recovers too slowly, it will hinder the operation of the imperial court. 。"

She scooped some porridge for a child, adding sugar as well, and then said: "Right now, there are indeed fewer people at our Li family's porridge shed, but that's because the earthquake just happened, and each household is busy rescuing people. They haven't had time to think about food and drink yet" 。Once those who can be saved have been saved, the next consideration is how to survive. 。I believe every household has stored grain, but who will cook it What if the servants are injured, or the iron pots are buried, or there isn't even a single whole bowl left in the house How can they eat this meal! People were stunned when they heard this. A bowl, a bowl is a big deal. The iron pots could at least be dug out, and there are servants who haven't been hurt, but the bowls are all made of porcelain and have been smashed to pieces. Even if the meals are cooked, what will they use to eat them with Those who reacted quickly ran back home to see how many bowls were left, and after a while, they all ran back. 。Not only did he come back himself, but he also brought his whole family with him. 。Of course, the masters wouldn't come. Those who came were servants, and these servants came with tasks. 。They all expressed their requests to Li Yanran: to borrow a bowl. 。Someone said, "Li's big house looks pretty sturdy, the courtyard walls didn't collapse, and all the bowls and dishes are still there, right Could you lend us some We could buy them too!"Li Yanran smiled, "At a time like this, what's the point of talking about borrowing or buying Just take whatever you need." 。From today onwards, our family will only drink congee and eat the simplest dishes. We will also reduce the number of plates and bowls to save more money to give to others. 。But please don't mind it, because there are really no new ones. Though our family is well-off, there aren't many shops left in our house, and we can't pick out any new bowls at all. 。People said they didn't mind, it was okay if it was old, as long as it worked. 。Li Yanran sat on a chair, displaying a graceful smile. She instructed the servants to quickly go to the kitchen and fetch bowls while also asking those returning servants from the manor, "What's the situation like at everyone's homes Has there been significant damage to the houses It's dark now. Do you have anywhere to stay for the night Although this whole day has been spared from the aftershocks of the ground dragon’s upheaval, if a house that wasn't destroyed earlier now has cracks due to the tremors, it absolutely cannot be inhabited." 。Then people thought of another difficult problem - where to sleep at nightn doing all those years Just cultivating Are you telling me that after so many years together, in the end, you don't remember anyone Should I thank you then, at least for remembering there was such a...
