Chapter 66: Confusion
Nanping County is located in the north of the southern country, at the confluence of three large rivers, this place has a special geographical location, and it is also perfect for flood prevention measures.
During the rainy season, when the rain was pouring down, there was no flood in this place, but when the year was approaching, suddenly there were reports from below, saying that there was a flood here, and the disaster was full of people.
At first, the emperor didn't take this matter to heart, but just asked the officials below to deal with it wholeheartedly.
However, the situation became more and more serious, and the flood situation below became more and more severe, and it was a cold winter, and the water was often mixed with huge ice blocks and rushed downstream, and almost no houses in the disaster area survived, and the victims could only rush to the surrounding areas that were not affected.
Nanping County was originally located at the confluence of three rivers, the soil here is the sediment brought by the confluence of the three rivers, the soil is fertile, the products are abundant, and the people here are also rich, so the population is large.
However, in the event of a disaster, these people can only rush to the surrounding area, putting a lot of pressure on the surrounding area.
Originally, the officials below had been concealing the news, and the disaster situation was getting stricter and stricter, and at this time it had already affected the surrounding counties and districts, so the paper couldn't contain the fire, and everyone reported to the imperial court.
After Su Li came to Nanping, he has been rushing to the front line of disaster relief, he is not unconcerned about what happened in the palace, and when he left, he still remembered the matter of choosing a concubine, but when he arrived at the front line of disaster relief, he was shocked by the tragic scene in front of him.
At this time, all he had in his eyes was the victims, and all he had in his mind was how to provide relief.
When he hurried along the way, he already had a general understanding of the situation, and he was already thinking about countermeasures along the way. Even so, after arriving at the scene, the tragic situation still made him a little at a loss.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after a long day's work, he was extremely tired and leaned on the table to write the disaster relief plan and look at the drawings.
"Master Qincha, drink a glass of water. ”
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl stood behind Su Li with a cup of tea in her hand.
She is only the daughter of the county magistrate, and she only knows that it is Lord Qincha who came to control the water, and she doesn't know that Su Li is also the prince of the palace.
She had dark eyes, two long braids, and stood there a little shyly.
"Put it down and get out. ”
Su Li didn't raise his head, and said indifferently.
Li Xianglan responded, hurriedly went over with the teacup and put it down, and then glanced at Su Li shyly.
Su Li, who was still in a white robe, looked very tired, but his beautiful side face was still enough to kill a qiē** in seconds.
Li Xianglan is just the eldest lady in the county, although she has seen a lot of the world, but it is definitely the first time she has seen a masterpiece like Su Li, looking at his side face, she was distracted in an instant.
She stood there dumbfounded, her eyes drawn to him.
Su Li stared at the tea on the table, the person who delivered the tea had not left, and the long green skirt appeared in the corner of his eye.
"Is there anything else?"
"Ah, no, it's okay. ”
There was a slightly panicked voice in his ears, and it gradually disappeared with small broken steps.
After Li Xianglan left, her face was red, she was a little distracted, and when she returned to her boudoir, she was still in a trance.
When the little girl came in to wash her feet, she hadn't come to her senses, and the little girl had finished washing her feet, and when she went to bed and lay down, she didn't hear even screaming several times.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The little girl helped Xianglan to lie down, and chattered, "I have been in a state of mind since I came back from delivering tea, could it be that the old man Qincha did not look like a mortal, and took away the soul of the young lady." ”
She said as she teased Miss Xianglan.
Li Xianglan remembered the appearance of the Qincha, and her face turned red again with excitement, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is in the prime of her youth, and a girl of her age is the most likely to be cranky.
"Hey, you said that Lord Qincha is so young, will he have a family?"
Li Xianglan was lying in the quilt, pinching the corner of the quilt and looking at her girl with a smile.
She fell in love with Su Li at first sight, and at this time, her heart was full of Su Li's appearance.
"Miss?"
The little girl understood as soon as she heard it, although this little girl was a few years younger than Li Xianglan, she matured early, and she was a ghost.
After hearing Li Xianglan's words, she knew that the young lady had moved her mind about Lord Qincha.
"Miss, you're not ashamed. A girl who has not yet left the cabinet is starting to think about people. Look at me tomorrow to tell the master, let him call the shots for you, and let our master marry you. ”
The little girl has long been used to joking with the young lady, and this kind of joke is nothing.
The girl who has not come out of the cabinet, only the girl around her dares to joke with her like this.
"See that I don't tear your mouth and let you talk nonsense. I think you're crazy about men. ”
Li Xianglan said this in her mouth, but she just reached out and pulled a few handfuls on the little girl's clothes, but she was so ashamed that she hid in the bed.
She stared at the tassel hanging from the window with big dark eyes, thinking about his face.
"I wonder if he drank the tea at this time?"
Su Li only took a sip of tea, frowned slightly and couldn't drink it, although this was a good tea specially made for him by the local government, but as soon as he entered the tea, he would think of the situation of water control.
I can't swallow it when I feel sad.
It was only at this time that he remembered Ouyang Heyue, remembering that there seemed to be no news for him in this palace, and what happened to Ouyang Heyue, he didn't know at all.
When I left, I asked the emperor, expressing the hope that the emperor would not make Ouyang and Yue Ji concubines, and the emperor promised him, maybe there should be no problems.
"Xu Yan!"
He shouted outside, and immediately walked in from the outside a middle-aged man with a long face and a burly figure.
He was dressed in a navy blue robe, with a long sword at his waist, and his whole person looked neat and capable.
"Lord Wang?"
He waited at the door.
"Is there any news from the palace?"
Su Li still couldn't let go of Ouyang Heyue in the end, even though he believed that what the emperor had promised would definitely be done, but there was no news of her in the palace, and he was still a little uneasy.
Xu Yan was a little overwhelmed and stood there awkwardly.
News had already come from the palace, Su Li's heart for Ouyang Heyue, could he not see it when he was by his side? Even if the prince didn't give orders, he would send someone to pay attention to it in private.
Ouyang Heyue became concubines, and when the news reached his ears, he couldn't believe it at all, it was even stricter than a thunderbolt.
Seeing that Su Li had been busy with water control in the past few days, he didn't dare to tell him about Ouyang Heyue.
Now that he asked, he didn't know how to answer.
