Chapter 403: The Flood

Dong'er closed the oil-paper umbrella and shook it vigorously, spilling a bunch of splashes.

"Miss, when did you say the rain would stop, if it goes down again, the yard will be flooded." Dong'er looked at the rain outside for a few days, it was a good thing to rain in the summer when the weather was slightly hot, but this time the last three days were unbearable. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy.

Liu Rong is concentrating on fighting with the rice paper on the table, the starling is now more than a year old, and has begun to use the stick figures she prepared at the beginning, and she asks the literate maid to show the starling those stick figures from time to time, and by the way, point to the words on it.

Although the starlings are lazy and look unreasonable, they can really ask the result when they occasionally point to a word.

So Liu Rong thought about it and began to prepare comic books for future use, when the time came, it would not only tell stories to starlings, but also recognize some words.

Of course, the theme around which the comic strip revolves is the Three Character Sutra.

Dong'er saw that Liu Rong was focused and didn't answer, knowing that her young lady was busy, so she didn't bother Liu Rong, but whispered to Dong Huwei: "I heard from the little guy in the house that the south side is even more powerful than the capital, and the embankment on the river has collapsed, drowning many people." ”

"If that's the case, and the news from there reaches the capital, I'm afraid it's been a while for something like this to happen over there, right?" Dong Huwei couldn't help but ask Dong'er.

He followed to protect Liu Rong every day, and didn't deliberately check anything, so the news was not as well-informed as before.

"I don't know what to do, it's just that the little guy's family is from Jiangnan, and the news is sad, and it is said that Haijin Town, which is closest to the capital, has also had such a thing. A lot of people died. ”

"Fortunately, it's not an accident in the capital, speaking of which, I don't know what's going on in the past two years, it's all kinds of disasters, and now there are people outside who have begun to spread that it is the lack of virtue in the saints today that will cause such a result."

Liu Rong frowned slightly, and stopped the brush: "Don't follow the clouds, follow the nonsense, disasters in the world are all natural phenomena, and they have nothing to do with people's morality." ”

If you don't say that such things have nothing to do with character, you can't say such things to the people of the Marquis of Wending. The sword of the military department is resting on the neck. I can't wait to find some faults from the Marquis of Wending's Mansion, and if the Marquis of Wending's Mansion says such a thing again, wouldn't it be looking for death.

But why did such a word come out of the capital, it wouldn't be that someone was making trouble.

Think of something out of modern history books. There were similar rumors that there were such rumors that there were not people behind them.

Thinking so. Liu Rong said to Dong Guard: "Dong Guard." You should go to Prince Guo's Mansion in a while, and let the people of Prince Guo's Mansion find out where this rumor came from. By the way, check the situation of water distribution in various places. ”

Let the investigation of Prince Guo's Mansion actually ask the people raised by Shangguan Yu to investigate this matter. No matter how carefully the Marquis of Wending's Mansion is managed, some of the backgrounds are not as good as the Prince of Guo's Mansion after all, such things can be checked by the people of the Marquis of Wending's Mansion, maybe nothing can be found, and it is different to let the people of the Prince Guo's Mansion check, those people are specialized in doing these.

Dong Huwei also happened to want to know about the flood in Ludao, so he quickly nodded to Liu Rong to deal with this matter.

Liu Rong paused slightly, as if she thought of something, and then opened her mouth to Dong'er and instructed: "Dong'er, you too, I will go and remind the housekeeper in the mansion, you must carefully clean all the locations in the mansion, clean up well, and it is best to prepare and store some edible water as soon as possible, by the way, pay attention to the maids in the house, if there is a fever or something, see the doctor as soon as possible." ”

Dong Huwei looked puzzled, and asked him to investigate the rumor, but he suddenly ordered the government to pay attention to these things, but he was completely puzzled.

Liu Rong naturally didn't notice Dong Huwei's doubts, she was thinking about some things carefully, and after saying to Dong'er, she ordered Dong Huwei to tell the county lord of Yongcheng about this matter again, and the government must follow the rules of the Wending Marquis Mansion.

Saying this, Liu Rong instructed Dong'er to inform Mr. Zhang's mansion, as well as the mansion where he was familiar with him and had a decent relationship.

Of course, if the rest of the people don't listen, Liu Rong doesn't care.

However, Dong Huwei was even more puzzled about why he was doing these things, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask Liu Rong: "Princess Rong, is it useful for you to let everyone do this?" ”

Liu Rong was thinking about what else she needed to prepare, and when she heard Dong Huwei's words, her thoughts were interrupted for a moment, and she remembered that she hadn't told Dong'er and Dong Huwei why she did this.

If you want to know what you do, you can only tell the executor the reason why you want to do it, and the executor will be more serious, although there will be no such problem for Dong'er and Dong Weiwei, but tell the reason, the information will come out, maybe everyone will pay more attention to it, and it will be better if there are fewer people who die of illness at that time.

Thinking so, Liu Rong explained to Dong Huwei: "Actually, just in case, I once saw a passage in an ancient book that said that the epidemic is most likely to occur after the catastrophe, especially when the weather is hot. ”

"Now it's a hot time, and I think it would be better for everyone to take precautions earlier. lest something really go wrong. ”

Dong Huwei listened to Liu Rong's words, his heart tightened, the longer he was by Liu Rong's side, the more he could know the truth, and Liu Rong's words were never without purpose. Since it is said that there will be such a thing, there will be it.

The General had to be informed of this.

In this way, the two of them hurried to do what Liu Rong ordered.

Liu Rong saw that the two of them had gone to run errands, so she returned to the table, preparing to continue to draw the enlightenment comic strip prepared for the starling in the future, just thinking about the flood that washed the river dam and the disaster of many people in the south, her mood was a little heavy, and she couldn't continue to draw, so she had to put down the half-painted painting first, and decided to go to see Liu Zhongshi and the starling.

As soon as Liu Rong moved, the two little maids who were called by Dong'er outside to serve Liu Rong hurriedly prepared the outfits needed to walk around on rainy days, so the group went to Liu Zhong's courtyard.

"How are the manors doing?"

"If Mrs. Hui's words, I'm afraid it's not good, it's okay to say that the fruit trees or something, those dealers, I'm afraid they are all ruined."

When I arrived at Liu Zhong's courtyard, I saw that Liu Zhong's was holding the starling brother and asking the same mother in charge, but the starling's small body was twisted, obviously unable to sit still, this time I raised my eyes and saw Liu Rong coming, and I actually stretched out my hand to Liu Rong: "Sister...... Sister ......"

Nowadays, starlings will simply say some things, but some sad things are that starlings never speak with one word, no matter how they teach, they are very concise.

Because the starling is small, Liu Zhong doesn't care, and says that Liu Rong was like this when she was young, and it's good to be able to speak.

If Dong'er was there, she couldn't help but add a sentence, yes, I didn't expect the young lady to fall into the lotus pond once, and her temperament was enlightened, and her words were better than before.

As soon as she heard this, Liu Rong couldn't help but be nervous, but it was not that she was found out for a long time, but she was nervous.

Think about the state of being completely bullied by people in my body before, a boy can't be like this.

Thinking like this, Liu Rong will always be strict with starlings in this regard.

For example, now, the starling reached out to hug him, but he didn't say the whole thing, and Liu Rong didn't reach out to take it, but just asked the starling: "Starling, what do you want to do?" If you don't speak, my sister doesn't know what to say. ”

Seeing that Liu Rong didn't hug himself at all, the starling brother had a deflated mouth, and his eyes immediately turned red, and he was going to cry like that.

Don't look at Liu Rong always bullying the starling, compared to everyone in the house, the closest starling is Liu Rong.

Every time he looks at the starling's little appearance, Liu Zhongshi always can't help but say that this child is abusive, and he has to abuse his sister a few times.

But it didn't make Liu Rong laugh.

As for the appearance of the starling about to cry, Liu Rong didn't care about it at all, and just saluted and spoke to Liu Zhong's family.

A child can't let him cry and get what he wants, which will make the child mistakenly think that as long as he cries, others will give her what he wants.

When the time comes, I will cry because I want more.

Starling is smart, when he saw that Liu Rong completely ignored the appearance that he was about to cry, he pouted, roughly knowing that he was lazy, and finally spoke: "Sister...... Sister hug. ”

Hearing the starling speak, Liu Rong immediately took the starling with a smile on her face, and kissed her on the little face.

Liu Zhongshi couldn't help laughing, thought about it, and then told his mother to leave and no longer worry about the things on the manor.

Liu Rong watched the boss leave, and then asked Liu Zhongshi, "But is something wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, the dealers in the manor are all drowned, I'm afraid that the harvest of the next year will not be completed, this person is in charge of this matter, but he is in a hurry."

Seeing that Liu Rong frowned when he heard his words, Liu Zhongshi paused slightly, and said to Liu Rong again: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the food stored at home is enough to survive this year, as long as the harvest next year is good, there will be no problems." ”

Liu Rong didn't answer this, but asked Liu Zhong's family: "Is the crops in the entire capital bad now?" ”

"Those on high ground may be fine, but those on low ground may be all gone, hey, people like us are okay to say, those who help plant, or have their own crops, I'm afraid it's not good." Liu Zhongshi sighed slightly, but this kind of thing, she must not be able to manage it as a woman, so she sighed.

Liu Rong frowned tightly, thought for a while, and asked about the situation in the capital to Liu Zhong's again, she specially asked for leave to focus on painting at home these days, and she really didn't know much about the impact of the rain.

After this question, I found that not to mention other places, even the situation in the capital is more serious than imagined.

Liu Rong thought about it, then opened her mouth to the coral on the side and ordered: "Sango, you go and call Mother Chen, I have something to do with her." (To be continued......)
