Fu Jingene stood in front of the window and watched Qing Shu get into the carriage, and was about to leave his friend Liu Heizi and walk in.

Liu Heizi saw the corners of his mouth raised, and asked a little strangely: "Boss, is it coaxed to make money again when you are so happy?" ”

The little spy of the Flying Fish Guard is also divided into several factions, and Fu Jingene is the boss of their faction. In fact, he is the youngest, but he is ruthless and thoughtful, and everyone else listens to him.

Fu Jingene regained her indifferent expression: "She heard that I was abused by my mother-in-law, and gave me another hundred taels of silver. ”

"Boss, how do you say that she believes what others say, how did she get the first place in the exam? Could it be that the female students of Wenhuatang are so easy to deceive. After speaking, Liu Heizi said: "You say, should I also sell it miserably?" ”

Fu Jingene's expression was slightly cold, but he didn't object in order not to make Liu Heizi suspicious: "You can go and give it a try, if you want to coax the money, we can eat meat in the next few months." ”

Little spies like them only have two taels of silver a month, and they can't eat enough and don't die of hunger. However, as long as you find valuable information, you can get a big reward.

Liu Heizi really listened to this.

It was close to noon before Qingshu returned home. Old Lady Gu let go when she saw her hanging heart: "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Qingshu blamed himself a little: "I saw a newly opened calligraphy and painting shop on the street, and I went in to buy some pen and ink. It's my fault, I should have sent someone to tell my grandmother. ”

Calligraphy and painting shops like this will be sold with the Four Treasures of the Study, and newly opened shops will generally have discounts. Qingshu has to practice calligraphy every day, and things like pen, ink and paper are in great demand. If you run into it, you won't miss it.

Old Lady Gu heard her explanation and asked a little strangely, "Didn't you go to do something?" How can I still have time to visit the shop. ”

Qingshu glanced at Mother Hua and said, "Mother Hua, you go outside to guard, I have something to say to my grandmother." ”

Mother Flower immediately walked out.

Seeing that Qingshu's face was a little serious, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but get nervous: "What's the matter?" ”

"Grandma, Lu Zijiao went to Jiangnan."

Old Mrs. Gu was taken aback: "What is he doing in Jiangnan?" Is there any ulterior motive? ”

Qingshu was silent and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Grandma, there is something I was going to tell you in a few days. In my dream, Peach Blossom Village rained heavily for more than half a month in August this year, and finally Peach Blossom Village and the surrounding villages were submerged. ”

The terrain of Taohua Village is relatively high, if their entire village is submerged, wouldn't Taifeng County be flooded?

Old Lady Gu tugged at her heart and asked, "Submerged?" Is the house flooded or is it all submerged? ”

"It's that the house is so flooded that you can't even see the roof. Fortunately, the patriarch of the Lin clan was afraid of flooding when he saw the heavy rain and persuaded most of the clansmen to avoid the mountains, so the number of dead and injured was not large. But there is no mountain to avoid around, ten rooms and nine empty. After speaking, Qingshu said: "Grandma, the disaster is nothing more than floods and droughts. Lu Zijiao decided to go to Jiangnan to hoard materials, wanting to make a fortune. ”

I don't know how many people will die in a flood, and food and money will be reduced to nothing. Therefore, what Qingshu said about ten rooms and nine emptiness is not an exaggeration.

"To earn such money, I am not afraid of going to the eighteenth layer of hell after the sky thunders and kills." Old Lady Gu said reproachfully: "Qingshu, why didn't you tell me about such a big matter earlier." ”

Qingshu said: "Grandma, I'm going to tell you in two days." Grandma, don't worry, it's still more than four months before August! ”

Mrs. Gu said a little anxiously: "This is a flood!" I don't know how many people died in this flood, and we tell everyone that they can prepare in advance. In this way, losses can be avoided. ”

Qingshu smiled bitterly: "Grandma, I want to tell people that there will be a big flood in Jiangnan in August, others will think I am crazy, and the government may also arrest me for spreading rumors." And when there is a big flood in August, I am afraid that the government will burn me to death as a demon again. ”

"Qingshu, you can't just ignore it because of this. Qingshu, that's tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives! If you don't care, then the sin will be deep. On the contrary, if the warning in advance saves the lives of those people, it is a supreme merit. ”

Qing Shu saw that Mrs. Gu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, I've been thinking about countermeasures these days. ”

"Did you think of it?"

Qingshu nodded and said, "I thought of a way." Grandma, this time you go back to Taifeng County to visit your grandfather's grave, and then go to Ganquan Temple to stay for one night. On the second day, you will tell the monk that you dreamed of the Bodhisattva and asked you that there will be a big flood in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"What should I do if the host doesn't believe in the monks of the temple?"

"It doesn't matter if the host doesn't believe it, you just need to make this matter known to the entire Taifeng County."

Old Lady Gu shook her head and said, "Qingshu, if the houses in Peach Blossom Village are submerged in the flood, then it will not only be Taifeng County, but the entire Jiangnan will be affected. ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "I know." Grandma, that's what I thought. First we publicized the Bodhisattva's dream to the public, and then we bought food and medicinal herbs, cloth and flint in large quantities. If the action is big, there will definitely be a lot of people who pay attention to these things. When it rains in August, I'm sure many people will believe it. Grandma, when the flood is over, we will give these supplies to the victims. ”

"Grandma, didn't the Xu family covet the gold and silver that my grandfather hid? Just let them know that our family does have mountains of gold and silver, but unfortunately they can't get a single point even if they do everything. ”

Afraid that Mrs. Gu would be reluctant, Qingshu said again: "Grandma, I have never been sure to put this money in my hands. Take this opportunity to use it, and you will no longer be afraid of being coveted; Second, as you said, it is also to accumulate merit for our ancestors and grandchildren. ”

Mrs. Gu thought about it carefully and felt that she couldn't think of a better way than this.

"Grandma, in case those officials in Pingzhou say that you spread rumors and caused panic among the people, you have to ask your aunt for help in this matter."

Old Madam Gu nodded and said, "To buy such a large amount of food and medicinal herbs, you must ask your aunt for help." If she hadn't helped, she would have had the idea of beating this money, and if she didn't save people, she would be killed for money. ”

It was just because he was afraid that this situation would occur, so Qingshu wanted to ask Mrs. Qi for help: "Grandma, I'm worried that Old Lady Qi will object?" ”

Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Old lady Qi never interferes in your aunt's business. As long as it's your aunt's nod. ”

After thinking about it, Mrs. Gu said, "Your stepfather has a sea boat, and I will ask him to help buy some food then." ”

Although he had a good impression of Shen Shaozhou, Qingshu didn't want to hear him too much: "It's good that grandma decides about this." ”

Old Lady Gu looked at her indifferently, and sighed secretly in her heart. It seems that Ah Zhi is right, Qingshu has a grudge against Xiaoxian in his heart.
