Chapter 691: A Miracle
When Guo Dan rushed back to Yaxing, it was already late at night, but Kou Zhuansha and Aunt Xu were still waiting for him.
"You haven't rested yet?"
Guo Dan was slightly surprised.
Kou Zhuansha smiled, "We've just finished our work. ”
After Guo Dan sat next to Kou Zhuansha, Aunt Xu asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "The only good news at the moment is that I can ride a horse to Kaifeng Mansion this time, which should buy us a lot of time." ”
Aunt Xu asked, "So the rest is all bad news?" ”
Guo said lightly: "It's not bad, but it's definitely not good news, at present, it may be that there is a flood in Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion, hehe, this God is really targeted, even if we can handle it well, we still have to accept the inquiry and investigation of the imperial court."
But if we don't handle it well, the result can be very bad, and in short, it's destined to be a loss for the wife and the army. ”
This loss cannot be avoided, and at the same time, it will certainly be difficult for those officials, and it will certainly not benefit from it.
Kou Zhuisa couldn't help but worry, "How can this be good?" ”
Guo Dan put one hand on Kou Liansha's shoulder and said, "Madam, please rest assured, no matter what, it is impossible to compensate you, Madame." ”
Kou Liansha slapped his hand away, "At such a time, you still have the heart to joke." ”
Guo Dan said: "I also want to cry, but the problem is, but even if I cry, I have to face a huge loss, and my tears are also very valuable." ”
Aunt Xu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Liansha, don't worry too much, no matter what, since things have happened, it is better to be optimistic than to be negative." After a pause, she continued: "Actually, after you contract these state capitals, you have to deal with these problems. ”
Guo Dan nodded and said: "Learning experience and lessons is probably the only gain from our trip, and this harvest will also benefit us immensely." ”
The two sang and harmonized, giving Kou Zhuansha great confidence, and she smiled: "Big sister, husband, no matter what difficulties you face, you can face them optimistically, it seems that I am still far from you." ”
Guo Dan laughed and said, "That's because you didn't see the scene of the layman fleeing in the wilderness." ”
Kou Zhuansha asked curiously: "What did you run away from in the wilderness?" ”
Aunt Xu naturally knew that Guo Dan was referring to the last time she said goodbye, so she couldn't help but stare at Guo Dan and issue a serious warning.
Guo Dan smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Oh, madam, I almost forgot to tell you something, is there still a vacant mansion next to us?" ”
Kou Zhuansha nodded and said: "Because of the previous share matter, the money village couldn't handle so many affairs, so we bought the mansion, but then the share transaction moved to the prize pool hall, so it has been vacant, husband, why do you ask this." ”
Guo glanced at Aunt Xu lightly and said with a smile: "Because I think there have been a lot of things recently, and I really need the help of the layman, so I invited the layman to live here, and the layman has agreed." ”
"Big sister, huh?"
Kou Liansha asked Aunt Xu happily.
Aunt Xu was unwilling, she was wronged last time, and the hatred for her father in her heart added another point, but she still nodded.
This is willing to gamble and lose.
However, she didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic, and said, "When are you going to go to Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
"Tomorrow morning." Guo said lightly.
.....
Early the next morning.
Li Fangchen still got up early and came to the back door.
And Guo Dan was already waiting there.
"Am I late?"
Li Fangchen said with a little apprehension.
"It's me who wakes up early."
Guo smiled lightly: "I have to rush to Kaifeng Mansion today, I can't take you to exercise together, but I hope that when I come back, we can jog together." ”
Li Fangchen's eyes showed disappointment, but she still smiled and nodded.
"Remember, don't force it, you can't rush it."
"Hmm. I remembered. ”
Zhu Yaoyuan nodded firmly.
Guo Dan waited for a moment and said with a smile: "I thought you would wish me good luck." ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Yaoyuan opened her mouth slightly, and then smiled shyly: "Good luck." ”
"Thank you. Leave. ”
Guo Dan bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.
Zhu Yaoyuan looked at the back of Guo Dan leaving, pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and her mood was a little low, after all, she had just come here, and the one she was most familiar with was Guo Dan, although she had a good relationship with Xiaoxiao and Xin'er, but she still had a lot of reservations about them, and Guo Dan knew her identity, and she could not have any reservations.
Of course, she didn't want Guo Dan to leave.
This did not escape standing at the door and waiting for Yang Feixu.
"Did you give the princess any medicine?"
She asked Guo Dan in a low voice.
Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Yang Feixu said: "She doesn't look like a princess at all. ”
Guo Dan reacted at this time and said: "If there was really this kind of medicine, I would have secretly given it to you a long time ago, and in front of you, I don't look like an employer at all." ”
"My employer is the Queen Mother, Your Majesty."
"Do you know that I hate others to use His Majesty and the Empress to oppress me the most, because I can't do anything about it."
Guo Dan put down this cruel sentence and strode towards the door.
Yang Feixu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Guo Dan, Aunt Xu, Yang Feixu, and a team of royal guards rode fast horses and rushed to Weihui's mansion day and night.
After a few days, they finally arrived at Weihui Mansion.
When passing through Zhangde Mansion, Guo Dan originally wanted to inquire about the situation, but because the news is spreading relatively slowly, Zhangde Mansion did not give Guo Dan any news, no, there is a news, that is, there is no flood in Zhangde Mansion, this is because there are not many news rivers in Zhangde Mansion.
"Brother Guo!"
"Uncle!"
Cao Xiaodong and Chenchen, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately ran over.
"Strange?"
Guo Dan, who had just turned over and dismounted, suddenly heard Aunt Xu say something from sitting on the horse, and couldn't help but look up, only to see Aunt Xu looking around, with a puzzled look on her face.
He couldn't help but look around, but there was nothing strange about it!
At this time, Cao Xiaodong and Chenchen had already run over.
Without waiting for them to speak, Aunt Xu asked first, "Is there a flood in Weihui Mansion?" ”
Cao Xiaodong and Chenchen were immediately stunned.
Guo Dan was also stunned.
If this is a lie to him, even if it is April Fool's Day, he will go on a killing spree.
"Yes... That's right! A few days ago, there was a flood in our Weihui Mansion, but it is not this generation, there is no river here, mainly concentrated in Ji County. Cao Xiaodong said nervously.
Aunt Xu asked, "Why didn't we see a single victim along the way?" ”
Guo Dan also woke up suddenly and said, "That's right! Why didn't you see the victims? ”
Cao Xiaodong and Chenchen glanced at each other.
The two little ones shook their heads at the same time.
"There are no victims, there are no victims in Weihui Mansion."
"Why?"
Aunt Xu was surprised.
Cao Xiaodong scratched his neck and said: "Because all the fields in our Weihui Mansion are in the hands of big landlords, this field is flooded, and the farmers have nothing to lose, and they can still receive wages." ”
Chenchen added: "Most of the workshops are not built by the river, and even if they are built by the river, they are all built on relatively high ground, because the low-lying ones are all fertile land, and the workshops are not flooded. ”
Aunt Xu and Guo Dan reacted at this time.
Weihui Mansion has completely entered the commodity society, and it is very thorough, and there is not an inch of land in it that is completely farmer's, because farmers will also settle accounts, and find that they are really not profitable from farming, so it is better to go to the workshop to do things.
Renting the land to the landlord and going to the workshop to work on his own, this has two incomes.
The big landlords suffered heavy losses, and the hired farmers were still paid, and as long as the workshop was fine, there were basically no victims.
Smack!
Guo Dan directly made a move to fly the dragon in the sky, hit the two of them on the head, and roared: "There is not even a single victim, you tell me that it is very serious, are you playing tricks on me?" ”
"Uncle!"
Chen Chen held his head in his hands and said aggrievedly: "We didn't say that it was very serious, and we have 200,000 acres of land flooded, and 2,000 acres of pasture have been affected. ”
Guo Dan blinked, it seems that it is also, they didn't say that it was very serious, it was Aunt Xu who asked me to deceive those ministers, this is ......!
Aunt Xu asked, "How many people died then?" ”
Cao Xiaodong said: "What we know so far is that more than 90 people have died, and more than 200 people are missing. ”
"So much?"
"So little?"
Guo Dan and Aunt Xu spoke at the same time, but the meaning was diametrically opposite.
Guo Dan asked Aunt Xu, "Isn't that much?" ”
Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "This is simply a miracle. ”
Cao Xiaodong said: "Brother Guo, this is mainly because most people live near Fucheng nowadays, and there is no flooding, most of the flooded farmland on both sides of the river is lived, and there are some hired farmers living there, and many hired farmers do not live with their families. ”
Guo Dan nodded, and asked again: "What is the situation in Kaifeng Mansion now?" ”
Chen Chen said: "We don't know for the time being, but the situation is much more serious than Weihui Mansion, Xu Xiucai and Uncle Li have already rushed over." ”
Cao Xiaodong immediately said: "It's really thanks to Xu Xiucai and them, it is precisely because they have been consolidating the embankment over the years, this time the flood did not break the embankment, and the water is not so fast, so many people can be spared." We just heard yesterday that the embankment in Guide Province had been breached, and more than a dozen villages were flooded in an instant, which was really terrifying. ”
Guo Dan was surprised: "What did you say?" There are also floods in Guide Province? ”
Cao Xiaodong nodded straight and said, "We also just received the news, and the situation is much more serious than that of Kaifeng Mansion." ”
Guo Dan immediately scolded: "They are all so virtuous, and they really have the face to accuse me, I thought that God was specifically targeting me, no, I have to go and make a small report to Your Majesty, they must have concealed the disaster." ”
Aunt Xu said: "Wherever a disaster occurs, it's not a good thing. ”
Guo Dan suddenly looked embarrassed, and said: "That's, that's, but I still have to tell Your Majesty, so that the imperial court will hurry to rescue the Guide Mansion." ”
