Li Niang sat at the door of the hall, holding her cheeks, looking at the rain curtain outside in a daze, the rain has been falling for three days, and there is no intention to stop, it has always been a posture of moderate rain to heavy rain, and the drainage in the yard has communicated many times, otherwise the yard would have been flooded.

Shubai, who has been worried about flooding, has to go to the bank of the Jinshui River every day to see the rise of the river, as early as yesterday morning, the river has returned to the original water level, but now it is still rising, the speed is a little scary.

"Now the water is only one and a half meters away from the bridge." Shubai told his sister that he went out with his coat on, but when he came back, most of his clothes were wet and his lips were a little blue.

Shubai changed his clothes and came out of the house, Li Niang had already boiled brown sugar ginger water, and the three brothers and sisters had a share, and each of them drank a bowl to get rid of the cold.

Eating porridge on a rainy day, it is easy to urinate a lot, Li Niang stewed rice, burned half a rabbit, mixed a cucumber, the three brothers and sisters were eating, and suddenly heard the courtyard door being banged vigorously.

Shubai looked at the two stunned younger siblings, "You two eat quickly, brother go open the door." ”

He hurriedly opened the door with an oil-paper umbrella, and after a while, a carriage came in, but it was Du Zhong who drove the carriage to deliver the letter, saying that his young master had helped take care of the house, and asked the Mo family to take time to go to the city, and if it was suitable, he would quickly settle down.

"It's the house of a small official in the household department, he wants to sue the old man and return to his hometown, and he is in a hurry to deal with it, the price is fair, and my young master said that it is best to settle it tomorrow." Du Zhong explained to Shubai.

Shubai didn't respond immediately, but asked Li Niang to give Du Zhong Zhang Luo a meal, and when Du Zhong was full of food and drink, he said: "Du Zhong, you also saw it when you entered the village, the river is rising very rapidly, and I am worried that it will overflow." ”

Du Zhong slapped his face, "Then what are you waiting for, let's clean up and go into the city, your yard is high, not afraid of flooding, when you get to the city, my young master has a private house to live in, you have to like the street to be lively, the guest house is also OK, our Du family inn is still very clean and neat, you can rest assured, there are absolutely no messy people and things." ”

Shubai turned his head to look at his younger siblings, both of them were listening with curiosity, so he diverted the topic, "In this way, I don't feel at ease to leave Li Niang and Qingyuan at home, I want to take them all to the city, let's pack up and set off now, if it goes well, we can get there before the city gate closes." ”

Whether the Mo family is going to the whole family, Du Zhong has no opinion, he just needs to bring the person back to the city, and the person who is in a hurry to return to his hometown is waiting to sign and get the money.

Li Niang said: "Why can't you wait for two days, with such a heavy rain, that old gentleman can't set off, right?" ”

"The old gentleman asked someone to see the day, and he must set off at an auspicious time the morning after tomorrow, and no one will listen to him, and he will leave if it rains." Du Zhong replied with a smile.

So that's the case, Li Niang has nothing to say.

Shubai packed up two sets of clothes for himself and Qingyuan, and Li Niang came in with a backpack, "Brother, let's go, what about the chickens at home?" Do you want to call Uncle Niu to come over and help us look down on the house and feed the chickens? ”

"Huh? Really, my brother didn't even think of this. Shubai patted his head and smiled, "I think it's okay, I'll go talk to him when I pass by Uncle Niu's door in a while." ”

Li Niang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was very worried that her brother would ask her second uncle to send someone over to watch the house, which she didn't want to see, and she couldn't trust the people in the second room, which was really a sad fact.

There are still a lot of eggs in the warehouse, Li Niang took a cloth bag and filled a hundred, with a chaff skin in the middle to prevent damage, this egg is to be given to Du Li, Du Zhong thanked him repeatedly, and carefully put it on his car and fixed it with a rope, and he didn't dislike it, but he knew how good the Mo family's eggs tasted, and the production of the Du family's Zhuangzi couldn't be compared at all, and his young master was worried about it.

The two carriages drove out of the courtyard of the Mo family in the rain, Shubai and Du Zhong were both wearing robes and sitting in front of the car, Li Niang and Qingyuan hid in the carriage of their own carriage, the roof was a green tarpaulin, and the rain could not penetrate it, but listening to the sound of the raindrops, I was a little panicked.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped, Li Niang lifted the bamboo curtain and looked out, and arrived at the door of Li Daniu's house, where the elder brother was hurrying inside, and many people in the village did not close the door during the day.

After a while, the elder brother trotted out, and a man in a cloak chased after him, and he ran back with a bag in his hand.

Li Niang opened the carriage door, her brother handed her the bag, and through the rain curtain, her brother's voice was a little loud and a little fluctuating, "This is Aunt Jiang's freshly baked cake, if you are hungry, you can eat it." ”

Li Niang nodded, took the bag and put it aside, closed the carriage door again, Qingyuan smacked her mouth and said, "It's so fragrant, second sister, I want to eat Aunt Jiang's cakes." ”

"You can eat a small piece, and you can go to sleep after eating." Li Niang discussed with her younger brother, and the two sisters and brothers ate a big pancake, wiped their hands clean, drank some water, and the two of them lay down on the mattress to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Li Niang was woken up by her brother, she opened her eyes and saw that there was a little lady with a half-wet dress standing next to her brother, and there was a maid who helped her with an umbrella next to her, the little lady was very beautiful and moving, and the maid was relatively delicate.

Hey? My brother's face seems to be red?

"Li Niang, this is Miss Cuiping of the Lingjia in Lin County, our county, her car has turned into a ditch, and she wants to take our car into the city."

"Oh, hello Sister Cuiping, come up quickly, be careful that the pedals are slippery."

Before Li Niang's words fell, she saw that Lin Cuiping's body was crooked, and her maid screamed and reached out to pull it, but she couldn't pull it with little force, and Lin Cuiping still crooked to the outside of the car.

said that it was too late, and then quickly, a pair of arms suddenly appeared, stopped Lin Cuiping and straightened it, Shubai Daosheng offended, and helped her to send her to the car, and then the hands were quickly withdrawn, and she ran away for fear of being chased.

Li Niang opened her mouth, her big eyes were round and she watched the whole process, her mother belched, my brother's action just now was so handsome! Look, Lin Cuiping's little face is as red as her brother!

The little girl was shocked, and after getting into the car, she groped Lin Cuiping up and down, "Miss, did you hurt anything?" Isn't it a terrible pain in your feet? It's all slaves and maids who deserve to die, slaves and maids are useless, slaves and maids don't take good care of Miss......"

"Okay, okay, Guizhi, don't blame yourself anymore, the car overturned, my foot was sprained, it's not your fault, what do you do to take it to your body, you always think too much, don't shout, don't you see a little baby sleeping here?"

Lin Cuiping spoke softly, with a gentle feeling, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, it seemed that her ankles, which were swollen like steamed buns, didn't hurt at all, how could it not hurt, people could bear it, and they didn't scream when it hurt, and they learned etiquette really well.
