Chapter 238: Preparation
As soon as Lan Xi's words fell, whether it was Lu Zhan or the third master, their faces changed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The third master frowned even more, and reprimanded sharply, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Speaking of which, the third master has not reprimanded Lan Xi like this for many years, but it is because Lan Xi's words today are in the ears of the third master, there are really two points of alarmism, if it falls in the ears of someone with a heart, he is afraid of causing trouble, so he is angry, thinking to himself, this child looks the most safe on weekdays, but how can he speak so lightly today? Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.
Compared with the third master's fierce words, Lu Zhan was silent, looking at Lan Xi thoughtfully with frowns, and after a while, he said, "Is there any basis for what you said?" ”
What really happened, of course, has a basis. However, can she tell all the clear words of her past life? Of course not. This is also the reason why she is willing to say it until now, speaking of which, it has been two months since she first recalled this matter, and saying it today has caused such a big reaction from the third master, and when she said it that day, I am afraid that they will really think she is crazy.
Lan Xi had imagined such a situation before, but after thinking about it, she didn't have a good solution, so she could only say, "I have read a lot of local chronicles, and many of the records of floods in various places are long after a long drought and then rain, which is not alarmist. ”
"Okay, don't mention this again, you are a sensible and carefree child, what to say and what not to say, you should know in your heart. My father and my husband still have important things to discuss, so you can go back first. The third old man frowned and interrupted Lan Xi, and said with a warning, and at the end, he even issued an eviction order.
"My daughter naturally knows what to say and what not to say, and when I go out of this door today, I will naturally forget these words and never mention them again. But father, Huzhou is under your rule, the wind and rain are smooth, the people's livelihood is happy, I am like you, I hope it will always be like this, but there is a sentence, called the sky has unforeseen circumstances, and there is another word, called taking precautions. When the words fell, Lan Xi also knew that if he stayed at this time, or insisted on it any longer, he was afraid that it would backfire, but he also stood up quietly, and after saluting, he led the smoke, and the master and servant went out quietly.
The door was gently closed, and in the outer study, there was no sound.
After a long time, the third old man pulled the corners of his mouth a little far-fetched and said, "The child is not sensible, and after reading a few books, he thinks that he understands everything, this girl, she has to beat and knock." ”
Lu Zhan also smiled, "It's time to beat." After that, he picked up the bowl of mung bean soup that had not been drunk and sipped it lightly, without mentioning half of what Lan Xi had just said, but when he lowered his head, his eyebrows were always frowning.
Since that day she told the third master and Lu Zhan the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, Lan Xi seemed to have a matter on her mind, although she still had some worries, but she also knew that she was weak and could do something limited, after all, but she was just worthy of her heart.
In this way, after another two days, Changrou consistently brought a letter to Lan Xi with an indifferent face. After the trip to Hangzhou, Xu was worried about Lanxi's safety, so Geng Xiwu simply left Changrou by Lanxi's side. Lan Xi didn't know if Changrou was unwilling in her heart, but she had to obey orders, anyway, she had already coveted a skilled guard like Changfeng for a long time, and she was not polite at the moment, so she accepted it happily.
The letter brought by Changrou was naturally brought by Geng Xiwu, and the letter didn't say anything, but it was what Lanxi entrusted him with before, and he had already done it, and there were two Zhuangzi around Jiaxing, one is a very rich field, but it is not much, but dozens of acres. On the other hand, the field was not fertile, but it was connected to a hillside, where fruit trees could be planted, and the most important thing was that it was cheap, so he had already made up his mind, and there were two hundred and thirty taels of silver left in Lanxi.
Lan Xi naturally closed the letter in a very good mood, and then looked at Chang Rou, whose expression was as indifferent as an ice cube, and looked at it for a while, Lan Xi finally gave up, she really couldn't see whether Chang Rou was happy or unhappy, so she simply didn't look at it, but just ordered, "Chang Rou, tomorrow, you will run a trip to Jiaxing for me." Your grandfather helped me buy two Zhuangzi, you take the shopkeeper Cao to help me take a look, see if there is a warehouse on the Zhuangzi that can store grain, if not, ask the shopkeeper Cao to help clean up one, and then ......" Lan Xi paused slightly, raised his voice and shouted to the pillow moon, "Open the box." ”
Pillow Moon bowed her head in response, took the key and opened the makeup box on Lanxi's dressing table, Lanxi went over, opened the bottom drawer, but took a thick stack of silver tickets from it and handed it to Changrou, saying, "You can take these silver tickets, or go back to the shopkeeper Cao, tell him, just say that it is the same as the Zhuangzi on my side, and he will know what to do." ”
Chang Rou has been trained to only do what he is told, never asking why. Today, it's the same. Lan Xi is her master, and her words are orders. So, without a word, Changrou took the stack of silver tickets, and after putting them away, he responded in a low voice, "Yes." ”
Arrange this matter properly, Lan Xi felt that the burden of his heart seemed to be relieved by two points, and his eyebrows were stretched out, and he heard a muffled sound in the sky, since the morning, it was covered with lead clouds, and there was finally thunder in the dark and low-pressure clouds, and a cool breeze rose, blowing all the flowers and plants in the courtyard bent over, and the branches and leaves on the trees shook violently, and then, the sky seemed to be darker again, but in the afternoon, it was as if it was about to fall into the night.
A lightning bolt tore through the sky, and there was a muffled sound, a "pop", and rain fell from the sky and knocked on the roof tiles, like a signal, and then, one after another, the "pop" rang out in a hurry, and then it crackled, and then, merged in one place, converged together, and converged into a desperate crackling sound.
There were cheers in the courtyard, and the girls and women cheered one after another, "It's raining!" It's raining! ”
Lan Xi stood at the window, looking up at the dense raindrops that kept falling on the dark sky, his eyes were dark, what should have come has come after all.
At the same time, in the outer study of Lanfu and a certain house in Sanliu Lane, there are also two figures standing at the window, looking at the rain outside the window, and they all groaned in unison, it is raining, but this, is it Ganlin or not?
On May 19, Huzhou, which had not rained for two months, finally rained after several days of heat. And this time, it couldn't rest, it rained for four days and four nights in a row, and the rain poured down. The anxiety in people's hearts was soothed by the coolness brought by the rain, the crops that had been somewhat dry in the fields were finally full, and the river level, which had been lowered for a long time, returned to its former height, but the rain was still falling and did not stop.
