Chapter Ninety-Eight

"My grandmother is getting better these days, and it won't be long before she can get out of bed and walk around." Acacia sat on the edge of the bed and carefully straightened the old lady's sideburns.

Mrs. Guan looked at Acacia lovingly, stretched out her hand and touched the sleeves of Acacia and said: "It's still the right clothes for Shui Bi on this day, some people are not well dressed, and their skin is dark, but it is my granddaughter, who is bright and bright to wear, and looks very good." ”

"When the fabric was taken out, my granddaughter also felt dull, but the clothes made were embroidered with silver threads, and when I wore it, it had a luster on my body, so that my granddaughter didn't expect it." Acacia smiled softly, some little girls were embarrassed.

Mrs. Guan's eyes were already a little cloudy, she half-squinted at Acacia, and suddenly there was a trance, once upon a time...... That sister sat on the edge of her bed like this, looking at her sick and smiling so softly.

"It's like ......"

"Grandmother, what did you say?" Acacia asked suspiciously.

"Ah...... I said you're twelve. Old Madam Guan blinked, forced back the tears and asked.

Acacia nodded and said, "The virtual age should be thirteen." ”

"I remember, it's November 15th." Mrs. Guan leaned on the soft pillow and muttered.

"Grandmother, you misremember, my birthday is November 16." Acacia thought that the old lady was old and sick for a while, and she didn't remember much.

Who knows that Mrs. Guan's hand under the quilt clenched tightly and said, "When?" ”

"November 16!" Acacia covered the old lady with a quilt, and personally picked up the stove that rose in the house.

Mrs. Guan slowly slid down and lay on her back on the bed, yes, that person used to be the birthday of November 15, but her death date was November 16.

"Sanniang, ......"

"Grandmother, I'm here......"

"In the future, don't enter the palace, and don't get involved with those royal relatives...... Don't. Old Madam Guan's tired voice wafted through the room.

Acacia only felt that the old lady was worried, but she still responded: "I know, it's just that those royal relatives and relatives have taken a fancy to me, and our family is worthy of those nobles." ”

"Yes, yes! Wait...... Waiting for my grandmother's health to get better, I will definitely choose a noble family for you, so that you can live a smooth and happy life in this life. Mrs. Guan closed her eyes, and a teardrop fell down the corner of her eye.

Acacia thought that her grandmother remembered her mother, and then thought that she was not a few years away from getting married, if her grandmother was really willing to meddle in her marriage, thinking about her father's virtue, it should not be too much of a hindrance.

It's just that the matter before Meng Ruoyang left at that time was too weird, and her father was likely to have already fought to send her to the palace, which was not what she wanted, and she had to think of a way to dispel her father's thoughts.

"I listen to my grandmother! As long as your grandmother is good, take good care of your body and get healthy...... You love me the most, don't you? Acacia walked to the side of the bed and took out the soft pillow above the old lady's head, put the old lady's pillow under her head, and carefully arranged the bedding for her.

Mrs. Guan breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, she stretched out her hand to hold Acacia and said: "In the future, you stay at home more, don't run around like your fourth uncle's girl, a good girl should learn more things and be knowledgeable." In the future, no matter who wants you to accompany you into the palace or when you go out, there are royal people, you can push it. ”

It is exactly what she wants, and Acacia does not hesitate to respond.

After Mrs. Guan finished speaking, she fell asleep in a daze, and she didn't know if the sentence just now was a dream.

Acacia checked again, and then slowly exited the room.

As soon as she went out, her grandfather Lao Yongchanghou stood outside the door, and two years did not bring much change to this old man, but since she often came to take care of her grandmother, she had more contact with this old man.

Acacia can see through many people, but he doesn't quite understand his grandfather, obviously he cares about his grandmother so much, since the unfilial daughter like Acacia's mother, my grandfather did not alienate my grandmother, but took her away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, and ran to a secluded place in the suburbs to spend her old age.

The concubines who once married, and the children they once gave birth to were all left aside, and there was only a tea wife every day, and even the lovesickness in the silence in the courtyard felt uncomfortable.

Many times, when Acacia first came, he could see his grandfather taking care of his grandmother personally, and the next girl was kicked out early, unless he felt that he couldn't do it, so he called Acacia to do it. With such careful care, and a sincere heart wrapped in that cold and hard attitude, this is a man who is truly affectionate to his grandmother.

It's just that what Acacia doesn't understand is that this couple obviously loves each other, but why for so many years, there has been no shortage of concubines in the Hou Mansion, and there are even more concubines, can the grandmother tolerate it, won't the grandfather feel sorry for the grandmother?

Or is this just lovesick for their own eccentricity, love does not prevent the inheritance, grandpa can be deeply in love with his grandmother on the one hand, but on the other hand, he has to follow the arrangement of the elders, the concubines in one room are connected to the door, and one by one the concubines go out to the outside?

In this way, it seems that the same is true in Ding'anbo's mansion, and the uncle is full of aunts in his heart, and he can only guarantee that after the death of the elders, he will not marry concubines, leaving those old and decrepit aunts to support the faΓ§ade in the mansion.

Wanting to love a couple for a lifetime is like a dream, almost unrealizable.

Acacia shook her head, and felt that she was a mediocre person, she didn't want to get anyone's love, as long as she married the rules, she could have her own children, and her husband had a few concubines, and the left and right were better than in the previous life.

Acacia slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, it was really much bluer than in his previous life.

Bang!!

The cups on the table were swept to the ground, the bright yellow clothes were stained with tea stains, and the big eunuch who was waiting beside him panicked and hurriedly knelt over to clean up.

"No need!" Sheng Shang took the piece of music he had just read from the table and threw it to the young men beside him to circulate it, "Look at it! Look at it! This is the talent sent by the prime minister to supervise the water conservancy, and it is clear that thousands of people have drowned, but he actually reported that no one has died. ”

Passed to Mo Li's hand, he opened the fold, and sure enough, the nonsense that was full of paper, except for the gorgeous writing, there was almost no substance in the fold, and only at the end did he barely say a word: No one died.

Huainan is the place where the flood is the most severe in Chen State, there is actually the closest to Jianghuai, but the terrain of Jianghuai is higher, the water goes down, there are many fertile fields and lakes, and the products are abundant, but Huainan is diametrically opposite, they are the closest to the mouth of the river, only a dam is blocked, every time heavy rain falls or the river floods, not to mention the fertile land and houses, that is, the population and livestock are all destroyed clean.

Chen Guo paid special attention to this embankment in the past dynasties, and the generation of the saint's grandfather did not know how to find the water conservancy books of the previous dynasty, and it was regarded as a good repair, so that it benefited two generations, until the last years of the emperor, the embankment began to have problems again, and it was clear that according to the book, the embankment could benefit for a hundred years.

The first emperor was already a bit mediocre in his later years, he relied on the prime minister to favor the concubine, and finally passed the throne to the current saint. But it is because of his β–‘β–‘ and easy life, and the pride and ambition of his youth have all been polished, so that almost all of them are doing things in the later period, and they have not done a single practical thing.

The first emperor was safe and happy, but due to his inaction in the later period, he threw the trouble to the saint who is still young now, and the saint's mother was originally a woman with great means, but this woman didn't understand the government and still wanted to seize power, and the prime minister's mansion, as a saint's foreign family, was unwilling to hand over the rights he had to his daughter to his grandson.

Therefore, today's saints can only survive with the powerful forces of both sides, and eat away at the forces of both sides little by little. With this perseverance, this love for the people, and this sober mind, it is no wonder that Ding Anbo stood behind the saint.

"I said that I wanted to deal with the floods, they shirked and resisted, one moment said that there was no money, and the other said that there was a lack of talents, and I went around like a fool and arranged a lot by myself, thinking that everything was ready and only the east wind was owed! But what about this east wind! Just give me such a thing! ”

He also remembered that when he was young, his father told him about the situation of the people during the flood in Chen Kingdom, when his father was still in the prime of life, and it was when he was young and strong, and his father would send people to check the embankment every year for fear that someone would ruin the efforts of the ancestors.

But no matter how afraid you are, you always have to come, but it's a pity that the timing is not good, my father is already old, and he is still young!

It's just that no matter how hard it is, he will not forget his father's expression when he talked about the flood, the embankment will definitely be rebuilt, and the flood will never want to flood the land of Dachen Kingdom!

"This kid has heard of it." Zhuang Jinyuan leaned on the table without an image, eating nuts, and threw nut shells everywhere in the hall, "His cousin married a doorman of the prime minister, and has always been a braggart, before his cousin got married, he bowed his head and wanted to lick his cheeks, after his cousin got married, he looked like a sΓ¨, and he couldn't wait to pull out his big teeth." ”

"The prime minister knows." Shengshang asked with a cold face.

Zhuang Jinyuan was not afraid, chewing peanuts and said: "Many people know what virtue this product is, and the prime minister's magic eye is not blind for a while." ”

The saint took a few deep breaths, and then said, "I know, you must not spread this matter to the outside world. ”

"Holy Lord, do you need to go down to this matter?" Fu Ningzhun suddenly stood up and said.

The rest of the people looked at him worriedly.

Fortunately, the saint just waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry. ”
