"Wait for me? What are you waiting for me to do?"

Jiang Tunan walked up to Xiao Mingrui and looked doubtful.

"So you're going to walk back?"

Xiao Mingrui pointed at the Xiao family's carriage next to him, and Jiang Tunan realized that Xiao Mingxu was in a hurry to go to Nazhe Garden, Ji Lingyue and Ye Ruzhen had gone home again, and if Xiao Mingrui also left, he would indeed have no carriage to ride.

After all, there was no Didi taxi in ancient times.

So Jiang Tunan immediately smiled and said,

"Thank you, cousin Mingrui. I knew that under that cold but handsome face of cousin Mingrui, there is a warm, thoughtful, careful, kind, friendly... heart!"

Xiao Mingrui: ...

"You'd better go back."

As he said this, Xiao Mingrui was about to get in the carriage and leave. Jiang Tunan hurriedly followed the carriage.

"No, I won't tell you. Boys of your age are very shy. I understand!"

Xiao Mingrui was actually amused by Jiang Tunan's words.

"I am eighteen years old. How old are you?"

"Well..I think I'm only sixteen."

Jiang Tunan almost forgot that although she was already in her twenties in modern times, her body was still that of a sixteen-year-old girl.

Xiao Mingrui glanced at Jiang Tunan sideways, and did not continue to ask questions, but coughed lightly a few times.

"Ahem, so what were you doing in the Imperial College? Why did you come out so late?"

The carriage was driving slowly on the streets of Kyoto, and Jiang Tunan found that the victims were everywhere on the road, and each of them looked not very well.

But it’s not surprising. They are all victims of the disaster. How could they all have rosy faces?

"At first, I met with the headmaster and the two deans, and then gave a simple inaugural report. Later, for some reason, they seemed to have a disagreement and started arguing. Then I went to deal with the application form with Meng Jingchen."

Jiang Tunan leaned casually against the car window and gently lifted the window curtain with one hand, but she didn't dare to open it too much. She only dared to observe the situation outside through a gap.

"Cousin Mingrui, you don't know how weird the reasons those people gave for applying are. Sometimes I admire Meng Jingchen's strong psychological quality."

When Xiao Mingrui heard Jiang Tunan praising Meng Jingchen, he subconsciously frowned. There were a few words in Jiang Tunan's words that he didn't understand, but when he opened his mouth, he was saying,

"Meng Jingchen has been trained by Duke Rong to handle the affairs of the palace since he could read, and later he was gradually transferred to the affairs of the clan. He has always been a man of swift and resolute actions, and his methods are ruthless and decisive. Naturally, he doesn't take this little trick to heart."

Jiang Tunan lowered the curtain. Her mind was not actually on the conversation with Xiao Mingrui, but she still nodded to give him face.

"So that's it."

Xiao Mingrui thought Jiang Tunan understood his hint, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"You will naturally have to come into contact with him during the next military training, but don't worry. If you have any trouble, just come to me."

After all, if there are some things that Xiao Mingrui can't solve, there is still Wen Zhu.

Jiang Tunan thought that Xiao Mingrui had given him information that he could rely on, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Okay, thank you, cousin Mingrui!"

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Jiang Tunan repeatedly lifting the curtain, Xiao Mingrui became curious.

"Cousin Mingrui, have you noticed that there are more and more disaster victims in Kyoto?"

Xiao Mingrui's expression froze. He naturally knew about this, but he didn't expect Jiang Tunan to have discovered it too.

"Yes, but the court has already sent people to deal with it. I believe these people will be properly resettled."

Jiang Tunan also remembered that the emperor had said that they were going to the southern suburbs of the city to reclaim wasteland and resettle people, probably for the disaster victims. Thinking of this, Jiang Tunan felt relieved.

"But cousin Mingrui, don't you think those disaster victims are a little strange?"

"Strange? Why?"

Xiao Mingrui sat forward and looked out through the gap opened by Jiang Tunan. He saw the victims lying listlessly on the sides of the road, some of them were still coughing violently.

Xiao Mingrui couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"These people have probably been hungry for too long, but the court will soon distribute food, and these people will be saved."

Xiao Mingrui's eyes darkened. As long as his people in Jizhou got to the bottom of the matter, they would definitely catch a few corrupt officials, as those people had a lot of money and food.

"Well... I hope so."

For some reason, Jiang Tunan always had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart. She always felt that those people did not look like they were simply hungry, and she always felt that something was wrong.

"Maybe I think too much."

Jiang Tunan muttered softly and stopped thinking about it.
