Chapter 234: The Suffering of the People

Gan Lin has been living in the farmhouse for the past two days, and the aunt of the farmer's family is very good, and she bought a lot of delicious food to entertain her, which made her embarrassed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gan Lin actually likes this place very much, although life here is more difficult and the days are hard, but the people here are very simple, and when she was a child, her home was also in a small mountain village, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the days are carefree.

"The girl woke up. The eldest aunt smiled when she saw Gan Lin come out with her hair scattered, and turned around to go in to get hot water.

Gan Lin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Auntie, you don't have to take care of me like this, I'll just come by myself." So saying, she went into the kitchen, which was the first time she had lived here for two or three days, and the kitchen, needless to say, was small, and there were two large vats covered with bamboo strips, and a scoop of hot water was warmed in the pot.

The eldest aunt also followed, and smiled and scooped the water into the basin for Gan Lin, "Go wash your face, I'll cook." ”

"Auntie, I heard the movement, you went out early in the morning, why did you go so early?" Gan Lin stood with a wooden basin and talked to the aunt.

The eldest aunt pointed to the wooden barrel and said with a smile: "Go and carry water, otherwise there will be no water to eat." ”

When Gan Lin heard this, he walked to the big clay jar and uncovered it, "Isn't this water?"

The eldest aunt smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, our family eats this water, but can't we use this water for you?"

Gan Lin curiously put down the wooden basin and asked, "Why?"

"I'll tell you the truth," said the eldest aunt, pointing to the muddy water clay pot, "This tank of water is the snowy water we collected, and I don't have the strength to go up the mountain when I'm old, so I'm ......."

Gan Lin was even more puzzled, "Why are you going up the mountain?"

"Go up the mountain and carry the snow, the snow on the mountain is clean," the aunt smiled innocently, "There are many impurities in the snow here, and it is turbid when it melts. ”

Gan Lin couldn't help but have a sour nose when she heard this, dare to love that the water she used in the past two days was something that her aunt was reluctant to use?"Why didn't you say it earlier? I already knew ......" Gan Lin looked at the water in the basin, and knew that she would use the muddy water to wash her face.

"It's okay, there is a well in the neighboring village, although the well water is not much, but it is also used by us in other villages, but the distance is a little far, and it takes an hour and a half to come and go. ”

"I don't wash my face anymore. Gan Lin pushed the tub forward, she almost forgot what she was here for, wasn't it because of the drought here?

The eldest aunt laughed when she heard Gan Lin's words, "It's already all scooped in the basin, and it's even more wasteful if you don't wash it." ”

"Auntie, you haven't washed it either, come and wash it first. Gan Lin thought about it, so he pulled the eldest aunt and asked the eldest aunt to wash it first.

The eldest aunt hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, no, this can't be done, girl, you just wash it," she is an old woman in the village who doesn't have to wash her face once for ten days and half a month, and Gan Lin is a pampered person, how can she wash her face with a basin of water, "Otherwise, girl, you wash first, you wash and I'll wash it again, you see how dirty my face is, if I wash it first, I'm afraid this water won't be able to see." ”

Gan Lin nodded coaxing his eyes, walked a few steps with the wooden basin and comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, the imperial court has already sent people to Daxing Water Conservancy, and there will be water for another year and a half." ”

Who knew that the eldest aunt was not only unhappy when she heard this, but shook her hand with a pout, "It's useless, it's useless." ”

"Why?" Gan Lin looked at the eldest aunt suspiciously, it stands to reason that this should be a happy thing.

The eldest aunt chattered while going to the stove to add firewood, "This has nothing to do with us, the imperial court is planning to build a dike, but once this dike is repaired, we originally had some water here, but now there is no more at all." ”

"Why?" Gan Lin became more and more confused the more he listened, how could it be gone?

"The people are cut off, the people upstream are water, we still have to look at the sky to speak, we belong to the area along the river, it's all right, you didn't go inside, where ......" Originally, the eldest aunt was also looking forward to the court to solve it like other people, but now her eager heart was cold, and she waved her hand in disappointment and stopped talking.

Gan Lin didn't quite understand these things, but the idea of cutting off his waist was enough to damage, so he said to the eldest aunt: "Don't worry, auntie, if that's the case, I'll help you reflect it." ”

"You?" the eldest aunt couldn't help but be surprised by Gan Lin's identity when she heard this, she originally thought she was from a rich family, but now when she heard her tone, it turned out that she was still involved with the imperial court, "Girl, who are you?"

Gan Lin grinned when he heard this, "I'm just an ordinary person, but I know someone who can talk." ”

"If you can really help us, then you will really accumulate great virtue. Listening to Gan Lin's words, the eldest aunt couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, and began to cook for Gan Lin alone.

As soon as Gan Lin thought that the life of the eldest aunt was so hard, and saw that she was making fine food for her alone, he stopped him and said: "Auntie, you don't have to make it for me, I will eat whatever you eat, and keep the silver to buy some food." ”

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "The girl has a really good heart, but we can't buy food with money here." ”

Gan Lin said: "Then you can't waste it for me, I eat the same as your aunt." She is also a person who is used to living a hard life, and she can accept good and bad food, as long as she doesn't go hungry.

Yan Rongzheng spent two days reading all the account books, and the shortages were also counted in his heart, just when he was about to rest, Zhou Xiangyun said that Yan Rongduo was here.

"What is he doing at this time?" Yan Rongzheng rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, he was already drowsy, and he had to cheer up again, "Please come in." ”

Yan Rong Duo didn't come in yet, and his voice came in first, "Your prince is doing his best, and he hasn't rested at this hour." ”

Yan Rongzheng hurriedly stood up, "Brother Emperor." ”

Yan Rongduo didn't say anything polite to Yan Rongzheng, and said directly: "The embankment is built well, why do you say stop it." ”

"Originally, I also had to take the time to tell the eldest brother about this matter," Yan Rongzheng saw that Yan Rongduo mentioned it and just saved him trouble, so he said: "The construction of the embankment is very problematic, I have read the drawings of the embankment, if it is built according to the drawings, then the people downstream will be completely cut off from the water source, and the embankment itself is very problematic, didn't the eldest brother find that the workers cut corners? There is also ......" (to be continued.) )
