In the past few days, the heavy rain has been pouring, and the surface of the Luoshui River has risen upward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are constantly people coming in and out of the Ministry of Industry, from Shangshu to Xiaoyi, and everyone is frowning. The rain in the capital is nothing, but the rain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is worrying.

News continues to come back from all over the country that if it rains like this for two more days, the Yellow River will flood.

Hao Mingyu sent a squire who was proficient in river work out and led people to survey both sides of the Yellow River, hoping to find a possible diversion direction for the Yellow River once the flood season came. If they can be successfully found, they can evacuate the people there in advance, avoiding innocent deaths and injuries.

He rested his hands on the bookcase, rubbing his brows. According to the information coming back, the diversion of the Yellow River is extremely difficult to predict and has not yet been surveyed.

For the sake of today's plan, we can only ask the household department to allocate grain to the area along the river in Hebei Province in advance and make preparations in advance, so that when the flood season comes, grain can be released for disaster relief.

……

Liu Qiran came out of the Guozijian with a bitter face, Gao Yi hurriedly greeted him with an umbrella, and said, "Lord Shizi, the rain is so heavy, it's better to get in the carriage." ”

"The ladies only ride in the carriage." Liu Qiran glared at him angrily, took the coat and hat in his hand, turned over on his horse, and walked in the direction of the drunken white building.

Watching him ride his horse away, Gao Yi hurriedly got on the horse, and shouted: "Master, slow down, the road is slippery on this rainy day, and it's not fun to fall." Liu Qiran had just recovered from his injury, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.

In the private room on the third floor, Shi Jingze sat in a high-backed chair, a pair of long legs raised high above the window lattice, holding a celadon thin waist wine jug in his right hand, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he said lazily, "What are you doing when I was asked to come out in such a heavy rain?" It's still so urgent. ”

Liu Qiran smiled flatteringly, "Yo, my son, brother, I want to see you, do you still need to ask why?" It's so sad. ”

"Come on!" Shi Jingze put down his legs, turned his head to squint at him, and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go!" ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Liu Qiran pressed him and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good meal." ”

Gao Yi saw the opportunity and let Xiao Er come in, and Liu Qiran ordered a table full of good wine and food.

Seeing this, Shi Jingze was not polite to him. He was looking like one who was going to come to him, and I don't know what the problem was. You can't get rid of it horizontally and vertically, so let's enjoy it first.

At the moment, he no longer shirked, and went to the table to feast.

After finishing the meal and rinsing his mouth, Liu Qiran asked doggedly, "How?" Is this meal satisfying? Do you want to find a girl who sings a little song to wait? ”

Shi Jingze waved his hand lazily: "No need." Anyway, what's going on with you? Second Miss Tu Family, haven't you already done it? ”

Liu Qiran had a bitter face and said, "She has no problem there, but Dr. Tu is sad about this." I had just returned to Guozijian after recovering from my injuries, and I was told that I was going to prepare for the next month's exam. He obviously knows my level, but he hasn't touched a book for two or three months, where did he pass the test? ”

"What if you can't pass the test?"

"The rules of the Guozijian are that if you take the last place in the exam twice in a row, you will be expelled from prison." Liu Qiran complained: "My year has only been four months. What can I do? ”

Shi Jingze sneered: "You deserve it!" If you don't learn anything, now you know that it's amazing? ”

Liu Qiran said with a shy face: "Oh, my good brother and good son." I also know that I deserve it, don't you need to find a way to come? ”

Shi Jingze thought for a moment and said, "You are really an elm head. Isn't it two months in a row that the last place will be fired? You want to buy a prison student to make him worse than you in the ten-year exam, don't you just get it? ”

Hearing this, Liu Qiran jumped high all of a sudden, and said excitedly: "I knew it was right to look for you!" When it comes to these crooked ways, I can't compare to one of you. ”

"What crooked ways? There's a way you don't use it. Shi Jingze rolled his eyes.

"Haha, I'm overjoyed!" Liu Qiran apologized again and again: "Don't you know me, I can't speak when I'm young, don't be angry." ”

Looking at Liu Qiran, who was dancing happily, Shi Jingze was also happy for him.

can overcome all difficulties, try to marry the woman he loves, and change himself for her. No matter how muddy Liu Qiran is, he is also worthy of his envy.

Unlike him, he can't even say anything about love, so he can only bury it silently in his heart, for fear of being noticed by her. With Empress Dowager Xiao marrying her and rewarding her with five pleasant products, she will marry to the Zhongguo Mansion in the future, and she will be able to live well.

And herself, since she has become her brother-in-law, that is, her maiden brother. If Wu Zhengxiang dares to treat her badly in the future, he must not spare him!

……

There are many powerful people in Mingyi Fang, and the people who come and go are all important ministers and nobles, and there are very few civilians.

Heavy rain washed away the bluestone-paved pavement, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

At the side door of the Zhongguo Mansion, Wu Rui shook the rain on his coat, took off the oil hat and handed it to the accompanying servant, and walked along the verandah to Wu Zhengxiang's study in the front yard.

"Come in and sit." Wu Zhengxiang saw him, ordered the little servant to serve hot tea, and asked, "How is the investigation?" ”

Wu Rui didn't see outside, drank all the hot tea in one gulp, and said carefully: "Lord, I went down to Jinyang and investigated. That Fan Qianqian is the daughter of a broken Xiucai, and in her grandfather's generation, she was a cousin of the third room of the martial arts family. There were seven or eight members of the family, and her father was bent on marrying her to a wealthy local merchant, and her mother secretly sent her to Beijing. ”

And so it was. Wu Zhengxiang chuckled.

This kinship is too far away. Chen suddenly took such a person to live in the house, saying that there is loneliness under his knees, who believes such nonsense?

Although her life is unbearable, she has no sympathy for her Wu Zhengxiang.

Since she is willing to be driven by the Chen family, she must be prepared to be disgusted by herself.

"You've worked hard this time. Rest for these two days, and I will call you for something. After that, Wu Zhengxiang threw a money bag to him and said, "I know that you are not short of money, a little heart." ”

Wu Rui was originally Bai Yi of Bai Ye, and he used to hold Bai Ye's silver money in his hand. Since Bai Ye has been wiped out, after the martial arts family has settled down, he has collected these remaining businesses that have been cut off from contact, and those that are safe, all of which are under his hands again.

These businesses are large and small, a cargo ship, an inn, several workshops, Zhuangzi, etc., all add up, and there are thousands of taels of silver per month.

He has never been to Wu Zhengxiang about this matter.

Although he is grateful to Wu Zhengxiang for saving his life and working for him at the moment, human nature is always greedy.

Especially after several turmoil and life, he thought about living a better life, thinking about leaving a way back for himself, and began to make his own little calculations.
