Today, in the Great Dynasty, Xiong Le, the imperial envoy who was outside to investigate the water situation and the river, returned to Beijing and complained bitterly about the evil deeds of the Jiangnan clan in the court.

In addition to the large-scale reclamation and occupation of the lake by the Lu family and the Sun family, many other small clans also followed the wind to do so. There are many lakes and rivers in the south, which makes reclamation very easy, and over the years, the barren land has become fertile soil, and even if you don't cultivate it, you can make a lot of money by selling it.

What's even more terrifying is that Xiong Le detoured to see the mountainous areas, as long as the heavy rain continues, mudslides will definitely occur in these mountainous areas.

The reason is precisely because the major clans have been over-logged in recent years.

When the daughter gets married, the furniture in the room must be the woman's dowry, which makes many families in Jiangnan have the habit of buying mountains and forests and planting trees.

A few years ago, many families did not get married, and then out of filial piety, each family has to prepare for marriage, everywhere to build construction, quarrying and logging and ruined a lot of mountains.

Nowadays, these bald mountains cannot hold the soil, and when there is a heavy rain, mudslides are frequent, where the mudslides flow, the roads are blocked, the villages are destroyed, and there are a large number of casualties of people and animals, which is more terrible than the flood.

Many officials in the court have bought good timber, and some have bought a mountain and cut it down entirely. Some of the clans in the south have to accompany the boat for marriage, and the cost of wood is even more.

For a while, many people's faces were not good-looking, if it weren't for the fact that Xiong Le was a relative of the emperor, many people wanted to give him a good look.

Chu Rui, who was sitting on the throne, naturally saw everyone's expressions clearly, this time the water situation was both a natural disaster and a *, and once it broke out, it would be even more menacing. But now the situation in Jiangnan is unstable, and the court still needs these clans to stabilize the local situation, so as not to make trouble for the victims after the flood, so he hates and hates, but he can't express it.

He looked at Li Mao below and made a silent look.

Li Mao and Chu Rui cooperated tacitly, and immediately knew that Emperor Lu Dao was unwilling to change in Jiangnan, so he immediately went out and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't think I can blame those people in Jiangnan for this. Since it is a custom, it has naturally been around for a long time, and it is not a deliberate destruction of mountains and forests. Those who spent money to buy mountains were naturally for wood and stone, otherwise what would they do with this big price? What's more, not everyone knows what is the harm of indiscriminate logging of mountains and forests, and now that they know it, they will be ordered to close the mountains and cultivate forests in the future, and the top priority now should be how to control the trend of debris flows. ”

Li Mao spoke for the Shi clan, and many ministers were surprised.

But Li Mao has indeed never stood in line, although he was born in the noble faction and is a benchmark among the nobles, but in the way of being a minister, he took the road of "lonely minister". However, because of his background, most of the time he still favors Xungui more.

"What Li Aiqing said is reasonable, Xiong Yibin, how do you think we should grave now?"

Xiong Le thought for a while, and replied to the emperor:

"At this time, we should be steady, stopped, discharged, and stopped. Use drainage, blocking, slope protection, etc. to stabilize loose materials, landslide bodies and slope residues; Set up grain mills or dams in the middle and upper reaches to intercept debris flow solids; In the debris flow section of the debris flow channel, the debris flow smoothly downstream, in the debris flow outlet conditions to set up a silt stop site, to avoid blocking the river. At the same time, the people in the surrounding areas of these barren mountains were evacuated to avoid being wiped out. ”

After Xiong Le said these measures, some of the ministers of the Ministry of Industry nodded one after another. This guest of honor looks quite insightful, and I heard that he is a close disciple of the old man Qiu, the master of civil engineering, and now that he looks at it, he is indeed a vain man under his fame.

"Then let's do what Aiqing has planned. After the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household and Xiong Yibin discussed, they will discuss and resolve it at the meeting tomorrow. Now that the time is getting urgent, Zhang Xuan's prediction of the flood will come in July, and there is not much time left.

Local officials from all over the country frequently sent letters to Beijing, asking for support from the imperial court everywhere, and Chu Rui's daily table about the water situation was piled up, and it had reached the point where the color of the flood changed.

After the dynasty, many officials of the clan faction were unprecedentedly kind to Li Mao. Li Mao was not enthusiastic, and when others greeted him, he responded very indifferently.

But it was this indifference that attracted everyone's favor. Unintentional overtures are the most clever political means, and the officials of the clan also know what Li Mao is difficult to do, so they are a little polite and do not talk much.

In the temple of Zhiyun.

Gu Qing received Zhang Xuan, who resigned to her.

He wants to go to the south with his master and his brothers and sisters to stabilize the victims, and the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Officials have already granted a special vacation, and this time it is considered a mission, and he will not be able to return to Beijing until the autumn.

Zhang Tianshi saw his "Mysterious Wonderful", and he was simply breathtaking. He didn't expect that a disciple in his early twenties could have so many insights about the "Dao". When Zhang Tianshi knew the reason for his disciple's epiphany, he felt that he was very lucky, and advised him to learn more from Tianjun, not to be impatient, and not to be too deliberate.

Zhang Xuan wanted the master and his senior brothers and sisters to follow Qiu Lao Taijun to listen to the teachings, but Taoism pays attention to "chance", and Zhang Tianshi was worried that he and his apprentices would rashly visit the heavens, which would cause the disgust of the heavens, and even Zhang Xuan's opportunity would be cut off, so he didn't dare to come rashly, and only asked him to talk about the old lady's tone.

Zhang Yuanmou is the head of the world, and his views on Taoism are completely different from Zhang Xuan's. He does not aspire to become an immortal, nor does he want to live a different life from the present, but he has a deep obsession with making Taoism the number one sect in the world.

However, he did not hinder his disciple's idea of cultivating and becoming an immortal, and he also respected his ideas and choices.

"Are you going to Jiangnan Town to comfort the victims?" Gu Qing said with some admiration, "Pay more attention to safety when you get to the place, a gentleman has a solid foundation, you have to take care of yourself before you can do more." ”

"Thank you for your concern, Xiaodao is going to Jiangnan with Taoist friends from all over the country this time, and there are Taoist temples and Taoist friends in the local area, so it's not dangerous to come." Zhang Xuan thanked Gu Qing for his concern, "Old lady, I will definitely complete your entrustment." ”

Gu Qing didn't know that his original suggestion to Zhang Xuan would make him attach so much importance to it, not only did he invite Zhang Tianshi all the way, but he also had to go to Jiangnan in person.

You must know that the flooding in the south of the road will happen, and if you are not careful, you may have to stay there.

She's just a bad old woman, how can He De let Zhang Xuan run for her like this?

She was moved in her heart, but then she laughed at herself again.

Are you really when everyone loves flowers and flowers bloom? It's not a peerless beauty, even if people do this because they listened to your advice, it's for the common people, in order to enhance the influence of Taoism, but it's not for you.

Zhang Xuan respectfully stood at the bottom of Old Taijun Qiu, waiting to listen to Old Taijun Qiu's instructions.

"I know that Dao Master wants to ascend to immortality, but before you achieve your goal, you might as well take a look at the various forms of life in this world. Of course, it is important to attain the right path, but the birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people in this world are not without merit. Gu Qing felt that Zhang Xuan had some incomprehensible affairs, although he also sympathized with the suffering of the people, but with a bystander mentality.

If there is a flood in Jiangnan this time, I hope to teach him a good lesson.

Becoming an immortal is so ethereal and invisible, Gu Qing grew up in modern society, and he didn't think that Zhang Xuan could become an immortal, if this young man lived in his illusory dreams and impossible dreams all his life, would his life be full of regrets?

It's just that an individual has a personal way of living, and she can't replace and guide other people's lives, so she can only persuade her like this.

'Huh? Is the Heavenly Monarch imparting her own enlightenment experience? Did the Heavenly Monarch ascend to immortality after entering the world and experiencing the world? Could it be that my immortal fate is in this trip to Jiangnan, what is Tianjun hinting at me? Zhang Xuan felt that the bubbles of joy in his heart couldn't help bubbling up, and then crackled and burst, bursting with countless satisfactions.

'After so long together, the Heavenly Monarch really began to prepare to cross me! ’

'Thinking that if there is a flood in the world this time, the heavens will also send countless immortal officials down to transform the world. Tianjun said, 'You might as well take a look at the various lives in this world first', and also said 'ordinary people' or something, could it be that the immortal officials under the mortals are hidden among ordinary people? Zhang Xuan's comprehension is the most praised on Longhu Mountain, and at this time, listening to Gu Qing's words is all kinds of meanings, he can't wait to set off immediately and go to the south to find immortal traces.

"Follow the teachings of the old lady, and the trail must be remembered in your heart."

Zhang Xuan walked away with full expectations, carrying a small bag on his back, carrying the "Flying Chess" he bought with a "huge amount of money", and rode a white horse to follow the Taoist friends to the south.

This time, he no longer has to worry about no one playing "Ascension" with him.

After Zhang Xuan left, there was a wail in the Qin Heavenly Prison.

As the most capable official of Qin Tianjian, Zhang Xuan has done countless things alone, such as stargazing, calculating, and sorting, and has already done what should be done in three positions. Xu Gongling, another five-official Lang, resigned due to illness, and the remaining Zhang Xuan was out of tolerance again, and his subordinate officials temporarily took the position of Lingtailang of the five officials, but before he had been working for two days, he was scolded by the prison and bloody.

Although the official position of the five senses Lingtailang is only seven grades, it is indeed recognized as the official position with the most "technical content", and he wants to come to the hereditary or be recruited into the Qin Tianjian from among the special talents. This subordinate official does not have such ability, but he always thinks about this position, and now he is placed in this position, and he is not competent, and he is disgusted by the supervisor of Qin Tianjiao, and there is no hope of promotion.

Zhang Xuan's departure from Beijing naturally couldn't bring any big fluctuations, but at the beginning of July, something happened in the Xinguo Mansion that made people's hearts rise to their throats.

Fang's is about to give birth.

When Fang's stomach began to hurt for a while, Gu Qing was chatting with Li Rui, who was returning home from vacation.

"Rui'er, is there any music in the palace?" Gu Qing squeezed out a smiling face and asked Li Rui with a pleasant face.

"Yes, but my grandson didn't learn." Li Rui saw his grandmother's familiar suspicious smile, and his heart trembled a few times.

The last time I saw this smile was when my grandmother smiled and said, "Rui'er, grandmother wants to eat duck."

Later he caught ducks for a year.

"How can you not learn? You see, there is no one in this house who understands the rhythm of music, what a pity? Later, when the people in our house went out of the house, others played the piano, and then said, "Let's come to the Xinguo Mansion too, but no one in our family can play the piano." Somebody else has to ask, or else, come and go individually, and we say, 'Ah, we won't know anything!'" Isn't that too striking? So......" Gu Qing began her broken thoughts*.

"Grandma, no one will let our master in the house perform arts." Li Rui put on a bitter expression, "There has always been only others who play for us, why do we have to play the piano and blow the flute to make others happy?" ”

"You can't say that. If your future wife can play the piano and you can't even understand the tune, it will be too boring. Gu Qing revealed some things without moving.

When it came to his marriage, Li Rui's face was about to bulge into a bun.

"The grandson has already settled the relationship with Miss Lu......" This matter hit him quite hard, "Playing the piano or something, let's talk about it when the grandson marries a wife in the future." ”

"You can't get married without this family business? The existence of music rhythm is to cultivate people's sentiments, and if you put on a bitter face all day long, grandma will be uncomfortable to look at. I said, when did you become so uncute? How fun it was when I was a kid! Gu Qing pinched her throat and learned what Li Rui looked like when he was a child:

"'Ahh Grandma help, there are ducks to talk to me! ''Grandma, you don't like your brother, you have to like me!'' ’”

"Grandma!" Li Rui was successfully teased by Gu Qing! "My grandson has grown up! Don't keep talking about your grandchildren's past! ”

、

"Then you can learn me some rhythms. Grandma will know a lot of mountain and wild tunes, and when the time comes, she will teach you to tease your future daughter-in-law, and she will definitely be able to smile and increase the relationship between husband and wife. ”

I don't know if Zhang Suyi will laugh when he hears "Come on, I'm a fragrant, banana banana banana". Personally, she thought it was funny.

"Grandma, I'm only fourteen years old, can you not keep talking about the future daughter-in-law! I don't know where the shadow is! ”

"You just said that you have grown up...... Gu Qing opened his mouth and said "oh", "Double standards are not good!" ”

"Me! I ......" Li Rui knotted.

"Grandma, grandma!" Li Ming's voice suddenly came from a distance, and in just a few breaths, Li Ming's little head and melon seeds reached into the curtain of the main house.

"Grandma, my mother said that my stomach is starting to hurt!"

"What?" Gu Qing stood up. "Mama Hua, bring my tools, let's hurry to Fang's place!"

Damn, the world without B-ultrasound is too pitiful!

This is half a month earlier than the budgeted due date!

"I'll ride to my uncle, he should be in the military department." Li Rui also stood up, and after saying hello, he walked out without stopping. This is a major event in the house, and my uncle should be in charge of it at home.

Gu Qing took the tools that he made from the tools at home. She saw Fang's skinny appearance at that time, and she was even ready for a caesarean section. If Fang's hemorrhage couldn't live, she didn't care what others thought, she had to take the child out.

The forceps and sputum suction tube are only made in a rough way, and the incubator is also made, which is plumbing. Since there is no ultraviolet lamp, if the child has severe jaundice, he can only think of basking in the sun.

She is a pediatrician, and she and her mentor often have to go to the obstetrics department to accompany the delivery of newborns when they have complications or congenital diseases, so as to give emergency to the newborn as soon as possible.

Now she doesn't want that child to be beautiful or not, she just wants to be healthy. When Fang's first pregnancy was pregnant, he worked hard to be himself, and he didn't raise it until a few months later, and he didn't know how the child was!

When Gu Qing arrived at Fang's courtyard, the courtyard was not flustered, Wen Xiu and the others had already experienced Fang's production once, and they had experience in this, and the tasks assigned by the little girl were also orderly. Seeing that Gu Qing brought the big and small girls, grandma grandma and grandma Hua came, Wen Xiu immediately came forward and gave Gu Qing a gift.

"Get up. How is your wife doing now? Is the amniotic water broken? How long has it hurt? "Fang's is the second birth, and the labor process will be much shorter, but even if it is shorter, it will take a few hours.

"No, just in labor, first once every two quarters of an hour, and now once every quarter of an hour."

"That's going to be soon, too." As soon as Gu Qing opened the curtain, he saw that Li Ming's little face was white and he was about to go in, shook his head and said, "Don't come in, your mother won't want you to see this scene." It's hard for a woman to have a baby, and she's afraid you're worried. ”

"But ......"

"You just stay outside, and if I have to tell you to get something, you can run an errand."

"Grandma, I'll be waiting for you at this door, and if you have something, you can shout inside!" Li Ming sat pitifully on the threshold and watched his grandmother enter the house.

Gu Qing asked someone to clean her face and hands, washed it with spirits again, changed the smock that had been cooked in advance, and then entered the delivery room. Because ancient people had taboos about white coats, she didn't wear white, but a goose-yellow blouse.

Dressed like a grandmother, holding Gu Qing's iron box with various tools, they entered the house together.

Fang Shi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. On the side are three stable women invited by Li Mao, and two or three grandmothers who have served Fang's birth Li Ming.

Seeing the old lady coming, Fang hurriedly sat up. Gu Qing knew that she was lying down because she was in pain now, so he held her down and didn't want her to move.

"Go to the kitchen and see what porridge and water you have, and bring it to your mistress." Gu Qing instructed a grandmother, "Be fast." ”

The mama ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Mrs. Tai, we have prepared the birth soup and the Fixing God Pill......"

"My daughter-in-law is in a very positive fetal position, and she is young, so she shouldn't need to give birth to soup. You don't have to eat that fixing pill, drink some porridge and water, and maintain your physical strength is the right thing. ”

Gu Qing looked through the memories of Old Taijun Qiu and realized that there are many differences between ancient and modern production.

In this era, women give birth to children not at all like lying in bed on TV, most of them are born on their knees on the delivery bed. A long hand towel is tied to a high place above the delivery bed, and the pregnant woman grasps the towel with her hand. "Vertical delivery" in ancient medical conditions underground, when there are few monitoring methods, will greatly reduce the probability of dystocia.

After a while, Fang's pain was not so much and she was able to sit up by herself, Gu Qing asked her to feed her some soup, and told her to get out of bed and walk by herself.

The stable woman next to her looked at Gu Qing's eyes like the kind of evil mother-in-law who abused her daughter-in-law.

Fang didn't know what the old lady was going to toss her to do at this time, she was helped up by the two grandmothers, and began to walk around the room according to Gu Qing's instructions.

She was extremely grateful to her sister-in-law for not coming out to ridicule her at this time, or she was already in a bad spirit, even if her sister-in-law spoke, she couldn't hear it.

She walked slowly through the room. When it hurts, stay in bed to rest for a while, and when it doesn't hurt, continue to get up and walk until the amniotic water breaks, and the farrowing bed begins to prepare for labor.

On the other side, Li Rui hurriedly rushed towards the yamen of the military department.

In the inner city, most people know this eldest prince of the Xinguo Mansion who is studying in the palace, and at this time, seeing this eldest prince Li galloping from the inner city official residence area to the political affairs area like a gust of wind, they are all guessing what it is for.

Some people guessed that Mrs. Qiu suddenly fell ill, and some thought that it should be the Duchess of Guo who gave birth, and guessed everything.

Li Rui's emotions are very complicated, but the child in Fang's belly is also very much looking forward to it. After all, he was a close relative, and he didn't want that child to have any mistakes.

Li Rui hit the horse and went to the military headquarters and handed the sign at home, explaining that his aunt was about to give birth, and asked his uncle to go home quickly.

When the doorman who guarded the door heard that it was such a good thing, he ran faster than anyone else, and he arrived at the back office as soon as he slipped through the smoke, Li Mao learned the news, and hurriedly ran out of the yamen and returned home with Li Rui.

"How long was your aunt in when you came out?" Li Mao asked his nephew right away.

"When I came out, I heard that it had just been launched." Li Rui replied, "Grandma brought someone over as soon as she heard the news, so there shouldn't be any problem." ”

"Our family has always done good deeds and accumulated virtues, no problem." Li Mao muttered, "God will bless our family, will bless." ”

He and Li Rui were actually thinking about the same, they were both worried about whether Fang's constant lockup during Li Mao's time away from home would have an impact on the child in his womb.

Especially if you can't sleep peacefully at night, this is too exhausting.

When the two of them returned home and went straight to the delivery room in North Park, they saw Li Ming sitting on the threshold with a small white face, and he was about to cry.

His expression startled Li Mao and Li Rui.

"Ming'er, what's wrong, why are you like this? What's wrong with your mother? Li Mao saw that Li Ming's eyes were even redder, and he was so anxious that he hammered the wall, "Oh, you speak!" Don't scare your dad and me! ”

"Daddy...... Father...... Isn't it said that women are called when they give birth? It's been almost an hour since my mother went in, why is there no movement in it? Is something wrong? Li Ming sat on the threshold, and another curtain was lifted inside where her mother gave birth, but there was no sound at all, which was more terrible than his mother calling all the time.

It's so unusually quiet.

Li Mao was more worried than Li Ming, and immediately rushed in. Mama Hua happened to come out, and when she saw Li Mao rushing in with her head stuffy, she hurriedly drove him out.

"Sir, what are you doing here? Madame is very good, and she is accumulating strength. Don't worry, you won't be able to deliver babies, so just wait outside! ”

"Is it really okay?" Li Mao couldn't stop tilting his neck to look inside.

"It's okay, Mrs. Tai is here, don't worry."

Li Mao was pushed out by Mama Hua and had to go out of the house.

"Fang Wan, try not to scream, your strength is to be saved and wait for the next child, at that time, it will not be too late to scream if it hurts." Gu Qing has seen many pregnant women crying wolves before giving birth, but when they gave birth naturally, they had no strength at all, and they could only give birth to a child by caesarean section.

The medical conditions here do not allow it, and if you have a caesarean section, you will die, and Gu Qing is not willing to gamble at all.

Fang was unexpectedly a person who could endure the pain very much, even if it was really painful later, he could still hold back and just grab the sheets on both sides without screaming. It's just that when it's very painful, I will choke a few times.

There were several stoves burning in the corner of the house, and several copper basins were set up on them, in which towels, scissors, tongs and Gu Qing's various tools were boiled, and all the things that Wen Po brought Gu Qing also ordered to throw them in and cook them again.

There is also a basin of hot water next to it, and when you want to use scissors and other things, you will throw it in and scald it.

When a stable woman took the towel, she saw the short knife placed in the copper basin brightly, and her heart and liver trembled with fright.

What do you do with a knife? Could it be ......

This mother-in-law is terrible!

They must take care of the Duchess of the Kingdom, if something happens, whether to keep the big or the small at that time, there is no need to ask, even the knife is ready!

The author has something to say: I am my son's this afternoon, and the second watch is after 8 o'clock in the evening.

Small Theatre:

Wen Po A: Have you heard, the old lady of the Xinguo Mansion asked her daughter-in-law to walk all over the ground before giving birth!

Wen Po B: What's that, she still told her not to scream! It's fierce!

Wen Po C: What you said is nothing, do you know what I saw? I also saw a knife boiling!

Qiu Bing: The one on the ground! Don't ruin my reputation anymore!

Gu Qing: Well, everything is ready, just wait for Bao'er!
