Chapter 239: Decisive
The rain fell to the fifth day, and seeing that the sky was still gloomy, and there was no sign of sunshine, the third master's brows were locked for a few days, and it was even more like a dead knot. www.biquge.info In the afternoon, the rain was still falling intermittently, sometimes big, sometimes small, and the third master could no longer sit still.
Sitting in a galloping carriage, outside the car, the sound of rain was like a note. Lan Xi looked at the third old man sitting opposite, and saw him bowing his head and frowning and pondering, Lan Xi was also silent and speechless. In fact, as early as when she was taken into the carriage by the third master, she had vaguely understood something, and there was no need to ask at this time, she thought, the stakes are very high, even if the third master really makes a decision, at this time, I am afraid that there are still many details to be imagined.
The carriage traveled a little further and stopped in front of Sanliu Lane. Lan Xi lifted the curtain and looked at the familiar courtyard door in front of him, and his heart became more and more determined.
The entourage held umbrellas for Lanxi's father and daughter, and the group walked quickly into the courtyard gate. Thinking that someone had already informed him in advance, Lu Zhan was standing under the porch with his hands in his hands, looking at the rain curtain in front of him, frowning and pondering, as if he was waiting for them.
A few people moved into the flower hall, different from the sweltering heat of the previous two days, the rain did cool down in the past two days. Therefore, there was already a small stove burning in the flower hall, a pot of water was simmering on the stove, and the three old men, father and daughter, together with Lu Zhan, sat around the low table. I sat down, and then I listened to the gurgling sound twice, and the water came out of the kettle, white smoke curled, and the water was boiling. Lu Zhan didn't say a word, he personally lifted the kettle, and with a tilt of his hand, the water rushed out from the slender spout with billowing white smoke, pouring into the tea set that had already been placed on the low table. It was a white porcelain blue and white bowl that was only larger than the general tea bowl, and the tea leaves had already been placed in the bowl, and as soon as the water entered, the tea leaves tumbled, and soon stretched out the branches and leaves, and Lu Zhan had already put down the teapot, turned to pick up the tea bowl, covered the bowl, and poured out the water.
Lan Xi said with a smile while watching his master wash the tea skillfully and elegantly, "Master, this good rain dragon well is finally willing to take it out for me to drink today." ”
Lu Zhan glanced at her, and said angrily, "You girl with no conscience, can you drink less good tea here?" It's a pity, no matter how good the tea is in your mouth, it's the same, but a good taste or not, the cow chews the peony, I don't know the taste, but it insults my good tea. Truly you are stained with your father's light today. Lu Zhan said, while the movements in his hands still did not stop, as he spoke, he had already brewed the tea, took a cup, and handed it to the third master with his own hands, "Jingzhi, you came today, have you already made a decision?" ”
The third master took the tea, took a sip, seemed to taste it carefully, and then swallowed it, and his demeanor stretched for two points. The river in Huzhou has not been dredged for many years, and the embankment should be heightened and reinforced. ”
When Lan Xi heard this, he didn't feel happy, but he was worried again in a blink of an eye, "It's not easy to dredge the river and strengthen the embankment, if it's not the rainy season, it's okay, but now it's raining, and besides, my father will not encounter a lot of resistance when he does this." ”
"In Huzhou, you have to completely subdue it, and you don't have to worry about it for your father." Different from Lan Xi's worries, the third master is very confident, in the past few years, he has been able to gain a firm foothold in Huzhou, although he does not cover the sky with one hand, but it still has some weight. To do this, there will inevitably be opposition, but there is no fear of it, and there is absolutely no resistance. "What do you say? Brother Hirano. After that, the third master turned to Lu Zhan again and asked.
Lu Zhan nodded with a deep groan, "That's how it should be." Since it is decided to move, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. ”
"I'll get back from here and I'll make arrangements." The third master nodded, and then, his gaze turned to Lan Xi, and said, "What does A-Qing think?" There are only Father and your Master here, and there are no outsiders, but it doesn't hurt to speak. ”
This is asking Lan Xi's opinion. Over the years, although the third master has always attached great importance to Lan Xi, but today, it is the first time that Lan Xi has been pulled together about such a major event, and he also asked her opinion. But Lan Xi was very hesitant, "Father, this is a big deal after all, have you really decided?" If...... If this rain is not what I say...... Then ......."
The third master didn't seem to care, and laughed, "If it doesn't become a disaster, it's naturally a blessing." In fact, there are many rainy rivers in the Huguang area, and this dredging of rivers and strengthening of the embankment should be a routine every year. ”
"Now that you have made up your mind, it is better to donate another sum of money in your own name, which can block the mouths of the people." Lu Zhan proposed.
The third master's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said, "Brother Hirano has a good plan." ”
Lan Xi was still a little worried, "Father, if you want to do good deeds, you shouldn't leave others behind, we have rich businessmen and giants in Huzhou, and there are many prominent families." Promising them some benefits, it is natural that people are generous. Furthermore, although my father is doing good things, he also needs to guard against one thing, that is, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan! ”
This is for fear that someone will use this to spread rumors and cause trouble, and if the people are panicked and cause a great disaster, then this good deed will become a disaster. Lan Xi said seriously, and the third master also listened seriously, at this moment, the third master finally had to admit that his daughter was really promising now, and her vision was far beyond the limitations of an inner house woman, but at this moment, the third master had to be proud.
"In that case, these days, my old bones will reluctantly charge you a master!" Lu Zhan stretched his waist and smiled as if jokingly.
The third old man smiled, but he arched his hands seriously, "I can't ask for it!" ”
Lan Xi saw it and didn't stop it. It's just that after leaving Sanliu Lane, he parted ways with the third master and went to Baoren Hall in Nancheng, called Yu Nanxing to come, and explained carefully, "These days, I'm afraid I have to work for a doctor." Master's health has always been bad, I am afraid that I can't be tired, but now that I encounter something, I am afraid that I will not listen to persuasion when I am busy, and I still need the help of Dr. Yu to recuperate. ”
Yu Nanxing is now both respectful and grateful to Lan Xi, and completely regards her as the master, listening to her like this, he has nothing to say, patting his chest and promising to take care of the bodies of those two.
Lan Xi was a little relieved at this time, but when she returned to the mansion, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw a mess. Walking quickly to Qingming Residence, he asked with a full stomach, "Mother, what are you doing here?" (To be continued.) )
