"Miss, it's getting hotter." Qing'er lowered the bamboo curtain in front of the window to block the sunlight coming in from the outside, "It's said that there is a drought in the south, but I don't know if it's true?" ”

Just a few days ago, there was news of a major drought in the south circulating in Yundu, and no one came out to refute the truth or falsehood.

Qing'er also knew it from the servants who went out to buy, so she wasn't very sure.

Yuan Shanjia held the cup and savored the new tea.

This tea was just brought by my grandmother, and I heard that it is this year's new tea, and the taste is very fresh.

"If there is a drought, we can only sit here and worry." Yuan Shanjia has a long vision.

She always felt that this conversation was a little familiar, and if she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she had also had this conversation before going to Zhuangzi.

But the weather is so hot, can my grandmother's body stand it? Do you want to persuade your grandmother to go back to Zhuangzi? Yuan Shanjia was a little worried.

The drought was in the southwest, and the clouds did not appear. Although the drought in the southwest is not a once-in-a-century occurrence, it has not been such a major drought in 10 years.

In the previous life, because of this drought, the entire officialdom of Yunguo was shaken like an earthquake. Of course, all this happened after the state banquet, and it really broke out when it was really impossible to hide.

Otherwise, if it broke out before the state banquet, then the emperor's face would be crackled.

This time, Yuan Shanjia specially asked people to poke out the news, the first is to let those ordinary people die less, and the second is to see how swollen the emperor's face will be.

I heard that this year, someone also specially asked people to send ten thousand public opinions, it is said that a piece of paper is full of praise from a thousand ordinary people, which is very touching, and I can't take it out this time.

"So it's better not to show up as well. Drought kills a lot of people. The more corrupt officials are at this time, the more they like to make a fortune. Even if the imperial court allocated food and salaries, they were so corrupted that there were not a few children left. Qing'er's thoughts of worrying about the country and the people broke out in an instant.

Yuan Shanjia chuckled and put down the teacup, "I can't imagine that my Qing'er is still worried about the country and the people?" ”

Qing'er looked at Yuan Shanjia helplessly, and explained seriously: "Miss~ Even if the common people know about the drought in the south, they will be worried, and many people will die." This is not a question of worrying about the country and the people, but just a matter of being prepared for danger in times of peace! You see, it's the south that has caused disaster now, but which one can be said clearly, will we be the one who will cause disaster tomorrow? ”

Yuan Shanjia waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I was wrong!" Indeed, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we should not live in pleasure. We're going to have more food to store up, too! From this day on, cook less for me, lest I run out of food in the future. But don't talk about it outside, or it won't be good. ”

Qing'er couldn't cry or laugh, "Miss, you tease me again!" Of course I do. I won't say it outside. ”

Yuan Shanjia laughed and said, "Where am I teasing you, what I said is the truth." Hmmm......"

She pressed her index knuckle against her chin and thought, "There's no way you're so worried." I heard that someone has already gone to provide disaster relief, so don't worry about it. If you are really worried, you can donate some money, and when the time comes, I will bring it to my grandmother, so that she can buy more rice and help the displaced people. ”

Qing'er thought about it and felt that it made sense, she couldn't go out of the house, she had to be by Miss's side at any time, even if she helped those people.

But if it's a young lady's shot, it should be easy to do. I can also contribute a little bit.

"Yes, miss. The slave just couldn't think of a way. It would be best if the young lady was willing to help. Qing'er said happily.

Ran Zhu frowned slightly, as a maid, she should serve the master, how could she let the master serve her. Isn't this Qing'er not formally educated, and he is always a little reckless when he speaks.

After Qing'er said it, she also seemed to feel embarrassed, "I'm sorry, miss, the slave was rude." The slave was only happy to be able to help the poor people. ”

Yuan Shanjia smiled: "It's okay. Give it to me before you eat in the evening, and I'll accompany my grandmother to eat by the way. ”

Qing'er is happy and more motivated.

In the evening, the night darkened the sun a little, leaving only a little afterglow, and the weather was finally not so hot.

The flowers and trees in the garden finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they still couldn't help but wilt.

Yuan Shanjia took Qing'er and Ran Zhu through the garden to her grandmother's Jialan Courtyard.

Because Yuan Shanjia came early, dinner has not yet come to be set up in a hurry.

Qin Mo welcomed Yuan Shanjia into the courtyard, "Second Miss came really early today, and dinner hasn't been set up yet?" ”

"I came early today to discuss something with my grandmother." Yuan Shanjia greeted people with a smile.

The old lady happened to come out of the house, "Yo? I said, why did this little girl come so early today, it turned out that she had something to ask me? Come on, come on, good girl, little conscienceless, come and tell grandmother what is the matter with you? ”

Yuan Shanjia responded to the greeting of the old lady and stepped forward to say goodbye, "Grandmother An." ”

"What? After a few days of etiquette, there are so many etiquettes in front of my grandmother? The old lady smiled and slapped Yuan Shanjia's hand and helped her up.

"Grandmother~" Yuan Shanjia said dissatisfied, "The granddaughter also bowed before." Don't lie to me! ”

The old lady looked at Yuan Shanjia with a smile, "Alas, alas, alas. Grandmother knows. You used to bow before, haven't I forgotten? Grandmother is old, you have to understand the old man. ”

Yuan Shanjia said coquettishly: "Grandmother is not very old. ”

As she spoke, she changed the subject, "Grandmother, what about grandfather?" Why don't you see others? ”

The old lady smiled and stroked her hair bun, "Your grandfather? Who knows? I must have gone to Mr. Lin to play chess. Recently, Mr. Lin's health has improved, and he often goes to play chess with him. ”

"Is Mr. Lin finally getting better?" Yuan Shanjia exclaimed in surprise and complained a little, "I always wanted to see Mr. Lin before, but my father always said that it was inconvenient, is it okay now?" ”

The old lady smiled and shook her head.

"Still doesn't work?" Yuan Shanjia hung his head dejectedly, "I haven't seen him since Mr. Lin brought me back." ”

"I didn't say I couldn't." Seeing that she had misunderstood, the old lady hurriedly explained.

"Then grandmother, why are you shaking your head?" Yuan Shanjia touched his head, a little puzzled.

The old lady slapped Yuan Shanjia's hand away, "Miss, you can't just touch your head." ”

After speaking, he explained: "I shook my head to mean that your etiquette still needs to be improved." Look at you, when you hear a piece of news, you're so happy that you can't wait to jump. That's not what you're supposed to do. ”

"Grandmother~" Yuan Shanjia was speechless. Grandmother just touched her head, why is she not allowed to touch herself?

The old lady looked at Yuan Shanjia coquettishly, her head shook and her heart was a little itchy, and she wanted to touch her hair bun again.

As soon as she thought of it, the old lady's magic hand touched Yuan Shanjia's bun again.

"Grandmother!" Yuan Shanjia dodged his grandmother's magic hand and protected his head, "Didn't you say that you can't touch it casually?" ”
