Under normal circumstances, even in the rainy summer, the water surface of the Dujiang River is seven or eight steps away from the embankment, when Li Xi saw it in the Jijiang Pavilion, it is such a Dujiang, but when I saw the Dujiang River again at noon today, the water surface is only one step away from the embankment, so to speak, there is a danger of bursting the embankment at any time.

Of course, because there is no large-scale embankment at all, the water surface of the Dujiang River at this time is only slightly higher than the fields and roads behind the embankment, if you take into account that the fields are already full of water at this time, in fact, even if the Dujiang River bursts the embankment, the amount of water that can be washed out is not too large, after all, at this time the inside and outside of the embankment is almost full of water.

But even so, the Dujiang River is a turbulent current, and its impact should not be underestimated, and if the levee collapses, it will still cause floodwaters within a few miles of the embankment, and when the time comes, the fields will be completely washed away, and the houses and people will be washed away, which will certainly be much worse than if it is only flooded at the moment.

Moreover, staying on the edge of the embankment like Li Xi and Zheng Shuang may even be life-threatening once the flood bursts.

In the afternoon, seeing that the water surface was rising rapidly at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, looking up at the sky, and the rain was still not stopping, Li Xi and Zheng Shuang couldn't help but frown.

Zhuang Ding was soon organized by the officials in various places, but according to the officials who came back to report, although the people in the villages have been soaked in the rain, there are still countless people who are not willing to move to avoid disasters at all, and would rather stick to their collapsed houses than resolutely refuse to leave.

Li Xi is a new official, and he is not very familiar with the setting of the village near Dujiang, so even if the county commander Zheng Shuang is short of manpower, he still did not send him any work, just let him stay by his side, in his opinion, at this moment Li Xi can take the initiative to rush over from the comfortable county town, and the symbolic meaning has long been greater than the role he can actually play.

However, after standing on the embankment and patrolling back and forth for a period of time, after receiving this report from the officials, Li Xi still took the initiative to persuade those people to avoid the places that might be affected by the flood as soon as possible.

In his last life, Li Xi remembered reading a lot of reports on TV about people who were difficult to relocate, and at that time he only knew that even in the face of danger, people were often reluctant to live and work in peace and contentment for several generations or even more than a dozen generations.

But at this time, under the severe disaster, even if the ordinary people were afraid of the officials or something, at this time, in the face of the collapsed house, they couldn't take care of anything, even Li Xi stood behind three or five black-clothed soaps with broad shoulders and round waists, and they were resolutely unwilling to move.

After working for a long time, the persuaded family finally began to move in the direction of Jinyuan County behind them, and Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little big.

There are so many villages on the banks of the river, and there are hundreds of families who are unwilling to avoid the disaster, if they are persuaded by such a family, I am afraid that they will not be able to move until the flood arrives.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone gradually noticed that the rain seemed to be slowing down.

Then, after a short time, the rain actually stopped gradually.

Because the Li Zheng of each village was mobilized under the order of the county governor Jiang An, they had mobilized everywhere, asking everyone to move as soon as possible to avoid the flood that was likely to come, so even if they were unwilling to move their nests, they knew the danger they were facing, and as soon as the rain stopped, there was no doubt that the danger was immediately countless times smaller, so when the rain stopped, there was a sudden sound of cheers all over the mountains, and many people simply knelt in the muddy water and looked up to the sky and shouted.

Li Xi's ears were sharp, and he also heard a lot of "Qingtian Lord Shengming, even God is afraid!" I just don't know if this is praised by myself or Zheng Shuang, or is it Jiang An?

At this time, no matter what persuasion the people took, Li Xi hurriedly rushed back to the embankment, and saw that Jiang An had arrived first, and Zheng Shuang was pointing at the river and talking, although the two of them were a little embarrassed, Zheng Shuang's official uniform placket even splashed a large piece of the river waves, and Jiang An's hem was full of speckled mud, which was not better than himself at all, but at this time the two people were still full of smiles.

As long as the heavy rain stops, even if it slows down for a while, it is a rare respite!

Li Xi also rushed over, and the three of them spoke together, at this time, it seemed that some of the scheming of the three people when Li Xi first came in the morning had disappeared, and everyone was celebrating with a smile on their faces, and they were unprecedentedly close to each other.

After all, no one dared to guarantee whether the rain would start again, but when the three of them were still discussing this, everyone was surprised to find that it seemed that the heavy clouds in the sky were gradually dispersing, and after a while, a round of red sun even appeared in the western sky.

The three of them subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands and looked into the western sky - including them, all the people in Shuzhou had not seen the sun for more than ten days, and at this time, the dark clouds suddenly opened and the golden light broke through, which made people feel that the light of Wandao was dazzling.

At this time, a servant standing outside the embankment couldn't help but clasp his hands together and mutter, "Amitabha, God, God, it's sunny, don't go down again." ”

Li Xi and Zheng Shuang glanced at each other when they heard this, and both of them smiled slightly.

At this time, I can't help but think in my heart, I'm afraid that Jinyuan County is full of such prayers at this time.

And then, it seems that God really heard these prayers, and an hour later, the dark clouds in the sky really dispersed, and only the golden black light was left in the whole world.

It was only an hour, and the wet marks on the clothes were gradually drying, and the mud spots on the placket and hem seemed to have turned into small dry and hard mud spots, and everyone on the embankment was smiling.

Zheng Shuang put his hands behind his back with a proud face, as if this dark cloud was dispelled by him, and waved his hand: "Look at this day, I'm afraid that the ten ** will be clear, let's go back to the government and start preparing for disaster relief." ”

※※※

When Li Xi returned home, it was already the second half of the night.

Although he is completely unfamiliar with the various general affairs in the yamen, as one of the four chief officials in the county yamen, and according to his duties, he should still be specifically responsible for the payment of taxes, money and food, he still participated in the discussion of the four people from beginning to end, until finally under the leadership of the county commander Zheng Shuang, the general plan for disaster relief was roughly determined, and then they turned around and went home.

Although in fact, most of the time he only has the part of auditing, but after this night, he began to get acquainted with many details of the county.

When he returned home, he looked up and saw the starry sky, and Li Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because Zhao Laoan had come back in advance to report the news, although Wu Lan was used to going to bed early, she was really sleepy at the moment, but she still didn't fall asleep, she was dozing off with her head on her back, and suddenly heard the lights bursting out with a pop, she suddenly got up, and then heard movement in front of her, and immediately woke up the two maids to come to the front together, first waited for Li Xi to wash her hands and face, and then personally went to the kitchen to call her mother-in-law to get two bowls of porridge for Li Xi to pad her stomach.

Watching Li Xi gobble up the two bowls of porridge cleanly, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but she also knew that it was inconvenient for her to say anything at this time, so she just commanded her mothers-in-law to send the hot water in the back kitchen, so she set up a bath bucket in Li Xi's bedroom, adjusted the water temperature by herself, put aside the replacement clothes she found, and asked the mother-in-law to go down to rest, and then said: "Listen to Zhao Lao'an, your whole body was wet when you arrived, and you were so busy in the afternoon, it must have rained again, take a bath." ”

At this time, Li Xi was sleepy and tired, and he only felt that his whole body was extremely sore, especially the inner thighs, which made the saddle even more painful, and he didn't know if he had broken the oily skin. But seeing Wu Lan acting like a little lady, busy eating and bathing for herself in the middle of the night, I still couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.

Looking up at her, I felt that her eyelids seemed to be red, and her eyes couldn't be opened, Li Xi couldn't help but smile, waved his hand and said: "Didn't you let people come back a long time ago, you may come back very late tonight, it's not good to just leave the door, don't wait for me, you have to wait." Okay, I'll wash it myself, you go and lie down and rest. ”

Wu Lan noticed Li Xi's gaze, and reached out to rub her eyes embarrassedly, but she shook her head gently but firmly, and said, "I'll wait for you to wash it, and ask you to wash it yourself, just wipe it casually!" ”

glanced at the door, and said: "Besides, your body is dirty like this, and you don't want to let the maid help you wash it, I don't serve, and people will gossip!" ”

Li Xi knew what she meant when he heard this, and he couldn't help frowning.

Needless to say, Wu Lan also knew that although the two of them moved in as masters, none of the people in this mansion were trained by them. These mothers-in-law have been in the mansion for many years, and they have no other skills, and when it comes to playing with the master's family, they are all tight. A lot of times it looks obedient in person, but in fact, it's not sure how to arrange it behind the scenes.

He himself was too lazy to take care of these things, so since the day he moved in, these tedious housework have been thrown to Wu Lan. And although Wu Lan was born noble and rich in food and clothing, she had always been a singer in someone else's family before, and she had no experience in managing a big family. And don't look at her reading poetry and books, and she is also a little inferior to a man's talent in her chest, but if you ask her to disguise herself as a man to do a state assassin history, she may be able to do a good job for you, and let her deal with these things in the house, but she is not good at it, and even Li Xi can feel that she seems to be not very willing to take care of these trivial matters from the bottom of her heart.

At present, it is only because Li Xi has not married a wife, and there is no official hostess in the mansion, as Li Xi's closest woman, or a concubine, she lives with Li Xi, so she is naturally the first hostess in the mansion, so even if she doesn't want to take care of it, she can only reluctantly take over this stall.

Li Xi also found that these mothers-in-law and maids in the house were a little tricky, but he subconsciously thought that all women must delete and manage these things, so they were relieved to throw them to her. But now, listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that she not only failed to suppress these mothers-in-law and maids, but seemed to be trapped by them.

At that moment, Li Xi couldn't help but ask her with a calm face, "Did you hear what they said?" ”

Wu Lan shook her head, seeing that Li Xi's face was not safe, she thought about it and said with a smile: "If you want them not to chew their tongues, you can quickly marry Miss Liu, she is from a big family, she will definitely be able to suppress her voice, slaves are stupid by nature, and they are not used to taking care of these housework, so they are not afraid of me." ”

As he spoke, he said shyly: "Actually, it's nothing, but once, I heard a few mothers-in-law muttering there, saying that since the slave slave is the concubine of the son-in-law, and there is no eldest woman in the family, why don't you see the princess's favor......" Before the words were finished, it was as if he was blushing or something.

Li Xi nodded, thinking that it was not too much to talk about this. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the bigger reason why the mothers-in-law are not afraid of Wulan is because they have never been able to give her a name.

A concubine who has no name and no point to follow her, and has never even been favored once, although she is authorized to take care of family affairs, but in their opinion, she may not be able to get out of favor when she loses favor, so naturally she doesn't have to be afraid, plus they all know that the candidate for the wife of the eldest woman in the family has long been decided to be Miss Liu Wan'er of the Liu family, and Wu Lan has absolutely no share, so I am afraid that she has long been prepared to please Wan'er, and she is naturally not afraid of Wu Lan now.

Li Xi also knew that to solve this problem, in fact, it was enough to release a signal to the mothers-in-law below that he loved Wulan very much and would continue to love him, but because of the promise he made to Wulan at the beginning, he was still a little powerless - of course, in the current atmosphere, it did not prevent him from borrowing the words of those mothers-in-law.

So he smiled, took Wu Lan's hand, and said: "Otherwise, Lan'er, you just marry and forget it, and when this disaster relief is over, let's have a marriage in a beautiful way, and you officially marry, when the time comes, my son-in-law will naturally be able to favor you openly, and those mothers-in-law will not have the courage to chew their tongues." ”

Hearing this, Wu Lan leaned in his arms in shame, stroked his chest with his small hand, and said, "No, once the identity of the slave is exposed, I am only afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of, we will talk about the future later! I've also figured it out these days, the matter of your identity may not be what will happen in the future, why should we put ourselves on ourselves because of this, but it makes everyone cautious, it's really boring. Not to mention whether it is joy or sorrow in the end, even if it is worry, I am your man, and everything is carried by me. ”

Wu Lan looked up at Li Xi in surprise when she heard this, originally thought that he was just laughing a few words, but after a glance, she found that Li Xi's eyes were extremely sincere and serious, and she quickly dodged away from Li Xi's embrace, and said seriously: "Of course the slave is willing to marry the husband quickly, let alone be a concubine, even if it is to be a personal maid, the status of the slave is also content, but for the sake of the public, this matter is absolutely impossible!" ”

"It's a wife, not a concubine!" Li Xi pulled her back into his arms and said domineeringly.

Wu Lan was even more surprised when she heard this, and looked at Li Xi with her mouth open, unable to speak. After a long time, she asked, "Didn't Xianggong already get engaged to Miss Liu's family?" Do you want to ......"

Li Xi shook his head when he heard this, "Where do you want to go, of course I won't want to be a maid, I will marry both of you, can't you?" ”

Wu Lan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then couldn't help but look him up and down with a puzzled expression.

It's no wonder that she has a weird expression, there is a decree in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is the emperor, there is only one wife, of course, in addition to the queen's wife, the emperor Laozi is also allowed to have four side rooms, which are named Concubine De, Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu, and Guifei, which are all controlled, and they are considered one of the masters in the family.

Further down, there are many concubines, like talented people and the like, although they also have titles, but there is no longer a system, they can only be regarded as female officials in the palace, and as long as there is no system, no matter how favored she is, she can only be classified as the same identity as an ordinary slave, and she is not the master of the family.

As for everyone except the emperor, even if it is the prince, there is only one wife recognized by the law, and all his other women can only be regarded as concubines.

But now Li Xi actually said that he wanted to marry himself, but he wanted to marry Miss Liu......

After being stunned for a while, Wu Lan suddenly came back to his senses, and then quickly understood what Li Xi meant, it turned out that he wanted to risk the world's condemnation and give himself a name......

Knowing Li Xi's intentions, she suddenly couldn't help but shed tears.

At that moment, she smiled and wiped her tears, while leaving Li Xi's arms, she gently untied his clothes, and said softly: "The body of the slave slave is just Xianggong's, Xianggong wants, take it at any time, don't take the previous jokes to heart, let alone do those things that are criticized because you cherish the slave, you know, everything exceeds the rules, but if you want to be questioned, even if you are not asked, I am afraid that someone will sue you for immorality, besides, Xianggong, you are already an official of the court now, How can you just do this nonsense for the sake of enslaving a woman...... As long as the slave knows the mind of the minister. ”

When Li Xi heard this, he obeyed her and asked him to take off his official uniform, and said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu wants to marry the woman he likes, what do you do to others, whoever likes to sue will sue you, it's a big deal that I don't want to be an official, anyway, I am actually doing it for you!" ”

When Wu Lan heard this, she only felt that her heart was about to melt, knowing that Li Xi cherished herself, she smiled and said: "Okay, Xianggong said that he wanted to marry, then marry, but there is no need to make any pomp and circumstance, we just know in our hearts?" Why do you have to make a big move that makes people criticized? ”

Li Xi thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "No, I have to ask you to marry in a beautiful way, and give you a well-known identity, nothing else!" ”

Wu Lan smiled when she heard this, pushed him to the side of the bathtub, watched him go in, picked up the loofah on the side and wiped his back, and said at the same time: "What the Xianggong says, the slaves will listen to the Xianggong...... Wait until Miss Liu gets married, okay? ”

Wu Lan's original intention was naturally not to steal the limelight of Liu Wan'er's main room, in the final analysis, in fact, she still didn't want Li Xi to offend the Liu family, after all, no matter how noble her background was, she was already a person in distress now, and she couldn't give Li Xi any help at all, but although the Liu family was not a big official, it was Li Xi's best help right now.

Who knew that after Li Xi heard this, it was an abnormal Chen who fell silent, and after a long time, Wu Lan felt that something was wrong, so he leaned over and hugged his neck, and said timidly: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Did the slave talk to make you unhappy? Nu Nu just thinks that your first wedding is better for Miss Liu, after all, ......"

Li Xi shook his head suddenly, his voice was slightly low, and said, "Lan'er, I'm afraid it's too late, and I won't be able to catch you!" ”

Wu Lan couldn't help but wonder when she heard this, turned to the front of the bathtub, frowned and looked at Li Xi, Li Xi raised her head to look at her, and even couldn't help but raise her arm from the water to hold your pretty face, and said: "A few days ago, a monk who lived in Zhao Temple was a monk who placed an order, from Chang'an, called Mo Yan, he told me that he wanted to take you back to Chang'an......"
