Chapter 733: Great Drought
Lin Ruan was driving away from the crown prince's car, and then turned around and was about to go back, but saw King Shen Jun standing there with his hands in his hands.
King Shen asked, "You chose that kid from the Xiao family because he promised you that you would never take a concubine?" โ
Lin Ruan's eyes widened, "Grandfather, are you eavesdropping on me talking to the prince?" โ
King Shen Jun snorted embarrassedly, "The old man is afraid that you will be embarrassed by the prince, that kid looks like a real person on the surface, but in fact, he has a bad ...... in his heart."
Lin Ruan rolled his eyes, "Grandfather, it's quite powerful for you to talk about eavesdropping so righteously and strictly." โ
Shen Junwang's face turned red, ignoring this ridicule, "I asked you, but you haven't answered me yet."
Lin Ruan smiled, "Yes, not all. His promise to never take a concubine was only a basic condition, and the most important thing was ......"
Deliberately only halfway through his words, Lin Ruan walked towards the small courtyard with a smile.
Seeing that she didn't say anything halfway, King Shen Jun's curiosity was aroused, and he hurriedly chased after him and asked, "What's the most important thing?" You're done. โ
Lin Ruan just didn't say anything, the ancestors and grandchildren returned to the small courtyard with a smile, and Princess Shen asked curiously, "What are you happy about?" โ
King Shen Jun glared at Lin Ruan: "This girl intends to hang my appetite, she only said half of what she said, she was really looking for a fight." โ
Princess Shen was even more curious, "What do you say only half of it?" โ
Lin Ruan said with a smile: "My grandfather asked me what I liked about Xiao Jingchen. โ
"And then? Which point? โ
Yes, Princess Shen was also hung up by Lin Ruan.
Lin Ruan laughed evilly: "I won't tell you, how can I be embarrassed to say this kind of thing." โ
After speaking, Lin Ruan ran away with a smile, leaving the old couple there with wide eyes and small eyes, as if they were scratching cat's paws.
After Lin Ruan finished teasing the old couple, she went into the house to continue drawing her plan.
I didn't come out of the house until it was time to eat.
Sitting at the table, Lin Ruan found that today's meals were all his favorites.
As soon as he picked up the chopsticks and was about to start, Princess Shen waved her hand. A few maids stepped forward and pulled all the dishes away.
Lin Ruan's hand fell into the air, and he looked at Princess Shen innocently with blinking eyes, "Grandmother, what does this mean?" โ
Princess Shen snorted: "I haven't finished my words earlier, if you don't finish speaking, you don't want to eat." โ
Lin Ruan was growing his body, and he was busy for another day, and he was so hungry that his stomach was growling, especially when it was all his favorite dishes.
So she said unproductively: "Then will I talk about it when I'm full?" โ
Princess Shen is not so easy to fool, "That's not good, you have to say it first, otherwise you won't want to eat today's meal." โ
Lin Ruan stroked his forehead, as for it?!
But seeing Princess Shen's unanswerable appearance, she had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I'll just tell my grandmother that you're alone, and you have to let me eat after that." โ
Princess Shen looked very cooperative, and nodded in response.
Lin Ruan leaned into Princess Shen's ear, whispered, and then waved his hand at the maids: "Bring the food quickly." โ
The maids glanced at Princess Shen, who looked incredulous, and then put the dish in front of Lin Ruan.
Lin Ruan took the chopsticks and ate happily.
King Shen looked at Lin Ruan, then at Princess Shen, and then touched Princess Shen who was still in a daze with his hand: "What did this girl tell you?" โ
Lin Ruan glanced up at Princess Shen: "Grandmother, you can tell your grandfather when I finish eating." โ
After speaking, he sped up his meal.
For a meal, Lin Ruan only took one-third of the usual time, fought quickly, and then left the table quickly.
King Shen Jun urged: "You are talking, what did the girl say?" โ
Princess Shen couldn't cry or laugh: "That girl said that she was rebellious against Xiao Jingchen because he was good-looking." โ
"Poofโ"
King Shen almost choked his saliva to death.
Lin Ruan used his ability to look at the way King Shen Jun was choked and coughed, and couldn't help but laugh and fall down on the low couch in his room.
Laughing and smiling, Lin Ruan couldn't help but take out the jade pendant he was carrying.
It was the promise that Xiao Jingchen gave her.
Stroking the lines on the jade pendant, Lin Ruan's nose was sore, and he almost shed tears again.
Another month has passed, and her letter should have been delivered to him. I don't know what happened to him over there.
didn't want to cry at home and make the elders worried, Lin Ruan wiped her tears, put away the jade pendant, and buried her head in her own affairs.
In the following days, Lin Ruan plunged into his own affairs and no longer thought about it.
The layout of the amusement park is not a hassle, but the equipment is the trouble.
In ancient times, the level of machinery was very limited, and the large amusement equipment was unheard of, and the technical aspect was even more zero. If you want to bring modern things to ancient times, you have to start with every small part.
This is not a small project, everything needs to be drawn by Lin Ruan himself.
Therefore, in addition to the necessary to go to various places to inspect the planting and growth of sweet potatoes, Lin Ruan soaked in the study almost every day.
After tossing and turning for a while, I felt that it was not feasible to just draw on paper, so I found a few old carpenters and asked them to make some one-to-one models based on their sketches to see if their ideas were feasible. And then keep improving, or overturn and redo it entirely.
After a month of being so busy, Lin Ruan's life was extraordinarily fulfilling.
But busy and busy, Lin Ruan found a problem, it seems that there has been no rain during this time, the temperature remains high, and even the small river in front of the door that flows all year round has lost most of the water.
In previous years, this season has entered the flood season, but this year, God does not seem to have the slightest intention of raining.
Lin Ruan felt that something was not right, so he asked people to go around to check the situation.
The news I got was not optimistic.
Some high-lying land has a serious shortage of water, and half-human-high bud rice seedlings have already died of drought.
Green Calyx also said: "The slave maid heard that the sister-in-law Guo and her family on the other side of the livestock shed have been getting up early and driving the mule cart to pull water in the past few days, and they are afraid that the chickens and ducks will die of thirst if they lack water." โ
Lin Ruan felt that this drought was definitely not simple, so he put down all the things at hand and began to visit around in person, and the first stop was to go to the livestock shed.
In the livestock shed, Lin Youyu and Guo Shi wiped the beads of sweat on their heads, poured the water they had just brought back into the big basin in the shed, and then prepared to fetch water again.
This water was brought by mule cart from a big river more than 30 miles away from Linjia Village, and it took at least five or six trips a day to barely solve the problem of water for the livestock shed.
Seeing Lin Ruan coming, Lin Youyu and his wife hurriedly put down the bucket in their hands and stepped forward, "County Lord, why are you here on such a hot day?" Come inside, it's smelling big outside, don't smoke you anymore. โ
Lin Ruan waved his hand: "It's okay, I heard from the green calyx that you have been driving the car to pull water for the past few days, so I came over to see the situation here." What's going on here, can it still hold up? โ
