Chapter 109: Heavy Rain

The torrential rain has been pouring for several days, but it has no intention of stopping.

The wind swept the torrential rain like countless fierce whips, and the trees, the heavens and the earth, and the houses trembled under the storm.

The ferocious flood could not find a pleasant outlet, and screamed and roared to burst through the dam, devouring the village and destroying the farmland like a beast.

Xie Fuyao stood at the window, looking at the pouring rain outside, which was getting heavier and heavier, like a huge waterfall hitting the eaves.

"Miss, an autumn rain and a cold, don't stand here, be careful of the cold. ”

Ziyu thoughtfully put a cloak on Xie Fuyao, and closed the window a little tighter by the way.

"It's late autumn now, but the rain is still so dense that it hasn't stopped for so many days. ”

This rainstorm, Xie Fuyao is not without impressions, in his previous life, there was also a period of time.

At that time, he had been given marriage to Wei Zheng by the emperor, and he was happily preparing the dowry at home.

"Yes, many people outside say that they were born with visions, and I'm afraid something big is going to happen. ”

Ziyu handed Xie Fuyao a cup of freshly boiled tea so that she could go to the cold.

"Wow, it's raining so hard. Ziyun put away the umbrella and quickly hid under the eaves, slapping the rain on his body.

The torrential rain outside was surging, and even with an umbrella, his body was still drenched.

"It's raining so hard and you're still running out, you really can't be idle. Xie Fuyao scolded with a smile, and quickly pulled her into the house.

"Miss, I'm covered in water...... Ziyun hesitated, afraid that if he went in like this, he would stain the room.

"It's dirty, I want to be as clean as it is on a rainy day, and besides, you will clean it in the future anyway. ”

Xie Fuyao smiled slyly and stuffed a cup of warm tea into Ziyun's hand.

"Miss, I feel sorry for you. Ziyu chuckled softly, found a clean dress from the cabinet next to her, and brought it to Ziyun.

"Look, what is this? As if playing a trick, Ziyun took out a paper bag from his arms.

This paper bag is made of oiled paper, which is extra waterproof, even if the clothes outside are wet and clean, but the paper bag is intact.

More than a dozen pieces of white and frosty dim sum were neatly placed inside, shaped like a bright moon, and there was a faint fragrance of glutinous rice, Xie Fuyao had a great appetite when he saw it.

"Xueyue glutinous rice cake, where did you get this?" Xie Fuyao was a little surprised.

Although he has a small kitchen in his yard, no one can make such snacks, not because of how complicated the workmanship is.

It's because it's a Jiangnan chef's unique skill, and he usually doesn't reveal it easily, so he is the only one in the entire Xie Mansion.

"Of course, Chef Wang made it, it's absolutely authentic! It's raining a lot these days, and Chef Wang has nothing to do, so he makes some every day. ”

Ziyun sneezed and quickly took clean clothes to the cubicle.

"I do it every day, why haven't we ever received it here?" Ziyu scratched her head suspiciously, she hadn't heard anyone say it in the past few days.

"Those minions think that our Mingxin Garden is relatively remote, and no one wants to brave the rain to deliver it, so I had to go over and get it myself. Ziyun said triumphantly.

"It's not that I'm too lazy to give it, but these minions are used to being high and low, and they think that I was reprimanded by my grandmother a few days ago, so I'm afraid that no one wants to wade into this troubled water. ”

Xie Fuyao has long seen through the faces of these people in the mansion, it was like this before, and it is still like this now, only the interests are eternal.

"But taking it in person also has the advantage of taking it in person, and Chef Wang still has a lot left, so I have all of them over. Ziyun said comfortingly.

While speaking, Ziyun had already changed his clothes and walked out from behind the screen, and sure enough, it was still dry clothes that were more comfortable to wear.

"Okay, let's eat a snack, it won't taste good when it's cold!" Xie Fuyao couldn't wait to pinch a piece and put it in his mouth, it was loose and soft, sweet and palatable, and the aftertaste was endless.

It was pouring rain outside, but there was a rare tranquility in the room, the three of them were talking and laughing, and the day was not so boring.

"Miss, I heard them when I was in the kitchen just now, the second lady doesn't seem to be in a good state lately, and since the fourth lady is gone, she wipes her tears in the room every day. ”

Ziyu said, "I also quarreled with the second master several times for this, and the angry second master refused to go back to the house, and now the entire Shuiyun Courtyard is full of miasma." ”

"Now that the sky is abnormal, it has rained so heavily, and I heard that many places outside have been flooded, the second lady is naturally worried about Xie Dongqi, afraid that something will happen to her outside. ”

Xie Fuyao's tone was flat, as if he was describing a person who had nothing to do with him, compared to Wu Shan, Xie Fuyao was now more concerned about the disaster outside.

It's nothing in this wealthy compound, but it's hard for those ordinary people, and I don't know how they should survive with such a heavy rain.

In this Xie Mansion, there is another person who is also anxious, that is He Shi, she is neither worried about Xie Dongqi, nor does she care about the people outside.

Instead, she was thinking about the pair of gold bracelets that Xie Fuyao gave her, and now the torrential rain has been falling one after another.

Xie Fuyao couldn't go out, so the matter of this bracelet was naturally delayed, and when he had nothing to do, He silently prayed in his heart to let the rainstorm stop as soon as possible.

I don't know if it was Ho's prayer that moved the heavens, or if the rain had fallen enough, and after a night of dripping, it finally stopped the next day and dispersed the heavy clouds.

After a rainstorm is often the most worrying, the water in the yard, the damaged trees, the work that has fallen these days, everything needs to be taken care of.

Not only the Xie Mansion, but also the court, the heavy rain for several days caused the disaster outside to be serious, and the nearby counties reported one after another, asking the emperor to send people to treat the flood and relieve the disaster.

The higher terrain near the capital, coupled with proper management, the drainage is very smooth, and the water discharged flows down the rivers and lakes to the surrounding low-lying counties.

The flash floods caused by the heavy rains for several days were unstoppable, which made the situation even worse.

All the ripe rice was soaked in the water and rotted and moldy, and the houses of some poor families were also scattered by the floods.

Some low-lying places and places close to rivers, lakes and seas have long been turned into an ocean, and countless people have disappeared.

The emperor was anxious about this matter, and summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the solution in the court.
