In the seventeenth year of the calendar, April 20th

Yan Kui returned to Xiaoguan from Hongyang, and as soon as he returned to the Pingbei General's Mansion, he met an "old acquaintance" head-on.

His third brother Yan Xiong!

"Second brother."

Yan Sanye was very happy to see his second brother coming back, and rushed up excitedly, hugged Yan Kui, and couldn't help shouting loudly.

Yan Kui still loves Yan Xiong, the younger brother who grew up behind his ass since he was a child, and he couldn't help but rub his head when he saw his face becoming more mature from green to mature.

"I heard your sister-in-law write a letter saying that you brought your mother? Where is her old man now, I'll go and say hello to her. ”

That's right, after being separated from Yan Kui's son for several years, Chen finally couldn't bear his motherly feelings for his son, and traveled thousands of miles from Tong'an Qingyuan to Xiaoguan on the border to reunite with his son.

"I know that you just came back, and you may have official business to do, so my mother is not good to disturb, so I am waiting in the backyard now." Yan Xiong didn't dare to lie in front of his second brother, so he replied honestly.

"What is this called, what official duties can be more important than meeting my mother."

Yan Kui said disapprovingly, and then pulled Yan Xiong to stride towards the backyard of the General's Mansion.

As soon as the brothers entered the courtyard gate, a waiting maid saw it and hurriedly reported it to Chen's Huang Weier and others who were waiting in the room.

So, before Yan Kui came to the room, he saw a Chen wearing a colorful phoenix brocade dress with gray hair, wiping his tears and coming out of the door, as soon as he saw him, he immediately threw himself into Yan Kui's arms, and cried with his throat.

"Mother, you miss me."

"Mother, isn't my son like this, don't cry."

Yan Kui hugged Chen, who was crying, and his eyes were slightly red, although he was reborn through time, he was not a ruthless person.

has been a mother and son with the Chen family for nearly 20 years, Yan Kui has long regarded the Chen family as his biological mother in his heart, and how can he not be moved by seeing his mother who has not seen him for a long time seeing him so emotionally exposed.

Even more than Yan Kui, Huang Wei'er, Huang Lian'er and other female relatives followed Chen out of the room, and when they saw the touching scene of the reunion of mother and son outside the door, they couldn't help but shed tears, picked up the handkerchief and kept wiping it.

…………

Chen kept hugging Yan Kui and crying for a small half of incense, before being coaxed back to the room by Yan Kui and his daughter-in-law Huang Weier.

Looking at the old lady who had calmed down, Yan Kui had time to ask his father why Yan Changlin didn't come with him this time.

There is also the eldest brother Yan Zhen and his wife, it stands to reason that the mother (mother-in-law) is on a long trip, and the couple should at least send one person to accompany the Chen family to Xiaoguan, and the two of them all stay in Qingyuan, which is really a bit unusual

Chen heard that the second son seemed to be dissatisfied, and hurriedly explained for the eldest son.

"You don't know, your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and she has been working hard all the way, I can be willing to let her accompany her, and your eldest brother still has to sit in his hometown.

Now that you are an official, our family is also in Qingyuan, and you don't care, you don't care, you know every day that you are going to Fucheng to find Yan Jiang's rabbit cub, and the third child comes to Xiaoguan with me, can you not leave the eldest brother at home to watch the house. ”

Hearing that the eldest brother had a reason, Yan Kui eased his face, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.

"Then Yan Jiang is almost twenty, is he, such an adult, and my father has to worry about it all the time?"

Chen sneered: "Who is Yan Jiang willing, your father is in a hurry to take charge of the house, before I came, I was full of peace to show Yan Jiang Xiang's family affairs."

Hmph, I don't even have a reputation for showing off my talents, I still want to marry an official lady, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes, Kuizi, my mother told you, if your father writes to you to help, you must not bother with this matter, we can't afford to lose this person. ”

Yan Kui nodded with a calm face: "Mother, don't worry, I won't take care of this matter, on the contrary, I will send a letter to Tong'an, and if you marry Yan Jiang, I Yan Kui will definitely not admit it." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Chen clapped his hands and applauded: "Yan Jiang's child looked okay when he was a child, but now somehow, the older he grows, the more crooked he walks, and he wholeheartedly wants to use your cousin on a raft to get ahead, and your eldest brother and third brother and I can see it."

It's just that your father is blinded by lard, and he still treats him as a good child, alas, you can't mention it, and I will get angry when I mention it. ”

As soon as he mentioned the confused Yan Changlin, Chen couldn't stop sighing, and Yan Kui didn't know how to persuade him.

As someone else, Yan Kui didn't have to think about it at all, he just killed him in one sentence, but Yan Changlin, the nominal father, Yan Kui still had some feelings for him, and he really couldn't do it.

Yan Jiang is the same, the love when he was a child is still there, otherwise with the power of the dark web in Tong'an, how can he be allowed to be free until now.

Anyway, the uncle and nephew can only make a small fuss, as long as there is no major incident, Yan Kui should not see it, let him go.

With a free smile, Yan Kui no longer thought about those bad things, but told Chen about his parting thoughts over the years.

That night, a family banquet was held in the Pingbei General's Mansion, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

…………

Just when Yan Kui felt the joy and warmth of the reunion of mother and son, the four northern prefectures of Jizhou, thousands of miles away from the border, had not rained for more than half a month.

It was the season when the spring rain was as expensive as oil, and there was no rain for nearly half a month, and the crops in the field could be imagined. Experienced local agricultural officials did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the situation to the imperial court.

Soon after, the officials of Qin Tianjian sent from the capital came to inspect the field, and all the four prefectures were visited, and they were almost stunned on the spot, avoiding the trembling officials of Jizhou and writing a secret report to the imperial court.

There has been no rain in Jizhou recently, and there is a fear of a major drought.

At that time, the time had passed May, and there had been no rain for more than 40 days in the four northern prefectures of Jizhou, and the common people were desperately carrying water to irrigate the crops, but they still could not change the difficult growth of the crops.

Agricultural officials asked a number of old farmers who had been farming all their lives and came to a conclusion.

If it doesn't rain in May, the weather is hot, and watering can't save the crops.

The news spread, the people of the four northern provinces of Jizhou were shocked, the price of grain soared, a number of changes a day, under the encouragement of some well-intentioned people, some people have begun to gather to rob the granary.

Seeing this, the imperial court did not dare to slack off, and ordered the Shangshu Qian Ban of the Ministry of Household Affairs to come to the northern four mansions of Jizhou in person.

As soon as Qian Ban came to Jizhou, he immediately began to act, on the one hand to appease the people of the four prefectures, adjust the price of grain, gather the people to dig water and change the canal, and try to rescue the crops, and on the other hand, contact other prefectures and counties, let them transport grain to the four northern prefectures of Jizhou, in case of emergency.

In the middle of May of the seventeenth year of Liyang, although there was still no rain in the four prefectures of Jizhou, the situation was finally stabilized, and there should not be any major changes in a short period of time.

Emperor Liyang, who was in the capital, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, but within two days, someone found a meteor landing on the outskirts of Beijing.

Rumors suddenly began to appear in the capital, and Emperor Liyang, the Son of Heaven, was not virtuous, which caused the heavens to be dissatisfied.

There was a great drought in Jizhou first, and then a meteor fell on the outskirts of Beijing, which was God's warning to Emperor Liyang............
