Chapter 92 opens the design section

Only then did Li Yun believe in the "luck" that his younger brother had said.

Because it was inconvenient for Miss Fu to dress as a man, she strongly persuaded her father-in-law to build three earthen houses. As a result, Miss Fu was angry with her father-in-law, and her father-in-law took the family to move corn, which was purely angry. The wet corn of the kang was placed directly on the kang, and the kang could not live in people. She and her mother-in-law had to burn the hot kang for two days to turn the wet corn into dry corn.

After seven or eight days of not seeing the sun, and now the corn began to grow mold, their family began to move the corn again, using the other two kangs, not to mention, but also the first batch of dried corn, kneading and dividing the grains, saving space, and the third kang was also used.

Although a lot of corn is still rotten, their family has three more corn in the earthen house than the others. With this corn, their whole family will not go hungry until the beginning of spring next year.

In addition to the earthen kang and earthen houses, that is, the two trucks of grain.

As soon as the news of the Yellow River bursting, experienced old people immediately concluded that the price of grain was bound to rise, and they pooled their money to buy grain. But the eyes of the merchants are more vicious than the people's. At this time, they only said that there was no food, that they had not received new food, and that there was no stock of old grain. And the Mu family has at least 1,000 catties of wheat and millet more than other people's families, and they can fill the stomach of the whole family for two or three months.

Old man Mu is stubborn, but his temperament is really good, he discussed with his wife: "I'm not good-looking or anything, I just think about whether those children have food." If not, let's send them two cars. We didn't give wheat, but gave them two carts of corn, and let the squeamish boy suffer. ”

After all, the old man still remembers Fu Zhenyu's words - corn is something I eat only when I am tired of eating white noodles.

Mrs. Mu is not at home, and she doesn't cause trouble, so she only asks one thing: "The corn that our family can eat now has a total of more than 1,000 catties, and it has been given to others, what do we eat?" ”

Old Man Mu was deflated and said, "Wait for the junior to come back." ”

waited for the Winter Clothes Festival, and Mu Xin walked back home. didn't see Cang Zijian and the others, Old Man Mu's face immediately changed, and he asked his little son who had lost a lot of weight unhappily: "What's the matter, those boys are still annoyed?" ”

Mu Xin was tired for nearly a month, and when he heard this, he didn't feel angry and said: "How can someone else's identity be more true than that of an old man like you?" ”

Old man Mu took off his shoes and was about to shoot his son, so the old lady stopped him, and the old lady pretended to be the youngest son, but actually mentioned: "How do you talk!" Your father has been thinking about you for so long, and he has been trying to bring you food, so we stopped him. As a result, you have lost a lot of weight, and you don't see a few Zijian, so you are in a hurry. ”

"A lot of people are hungry, what is it if we are hungry?" Mu Xin said nonchalantly, his eyes were bright, and he said, "Actually, the academy has already had a long vacation. I didn't come back, but I followed Mr. Cang and them to Kaifeng Mansion to see the collapsed embankment. Mr. Cang, they are still in Kaifeng Mansion now, and I was brought back for the holidays. ”

In the end, it's a pity.

On this trip, he truly realized that studying is not only for the imperial examination, but also for his own welfare, but also for the benefit of the people. Mu Xin has never looked forward to the start of school as much as he did at this moment, expecting that he can be promoted to the Jinshi and make a difference.

When Old Man Mu heard that his youngest son had gone to the mouth of the Yellow River, which broke the embankment, he was scared and sweated. It's just that he is not good at expressing himself, and the words he blurted out were: "If you don't go home from school, you don't worry about your family!" ”

Mu Xin was surprised: "Doesn't our family have food?" I've heard that you can't buy food with money now. Now, either the government has released grain, or Huguang and Jiangnan have brought grain. That's it, food will be very expensive at that time. ”

Old Man Mu choked.

There was indeed food at home, and he had no way to refute it. Also, he knows that food is expensive in disaster years, but he doesn't know that there are so many ways in it. I don't know if he knew the whereabouts of Cang Zijian and the others, or if he was contimidated by his son, he asked: "The embankment has collapsed, what are you going to do there?" ”

Speaking of this, Mu Xin said in a tone full of respect: "Mr. Kobayashi, he is good at counting, not the kind of calculation of merchants, but the calculation of how thick the embankment can withstand and how deep the water is. In this flood, the embankment in Henan Province burst in seven places. But this year's flood was not the biggest. There should be a lot of problems, and that's not something we can know. ”

In the end, Mu Xin's face was solemn.

Those things that shouldn't be known to them were deliberately said by Cang Zijian to him, with the intention of mentioning something. Thinking of this, Mu Xin said to Old Man Mu: "Dad, sister-in-law's mother's family is different from ours. In the future, let Mr. Ikura and Mr. Kobayashi go. Lord Zhixian is amazing in your eyes, right? Lord Henan Buzheng is very gentle when talking to Mr. Kobayashi. ”

Old Man Mu didn't know what the chief secretary was, he only knew that it was the existence of the big man in Bizhi County, so he hurriedly asked: "Then have you seen the chief secretary?" ”

Mu Xin said: "I saw it from afar, not only me, but many people. It's just that the adults only said a few words to Mr. Kobayashi alone. ”

"Really?"

Old Man Mu muttered, and secretly decided that he would not worry about the children in the future, and let Fu Zhenyu be.

Fu Zhenyu, who was worried about him, was really exhausted at the moment.

Her cousin did not inherit the family business, he studied water power, and he showed off to her, which was a unique and attractive subject. When she was in college, she was fooled into going too. She certainly wouldn't be majoring, but she had only taken a few classes, and she was half-baked at best. As a result, this half-hung person has become a very "powerful" existence now.

What kind of bullshit connoisseurs were there before, and she was so noisy every day that she had a dry mouth every day.

Until the Henan Political Division, a real master, Guo Pu Guo, was invited. But the old man is powerful, relying on talent and experience, knowing how to design the embankment, knowing that his method cannot be generalized, but in the end, he cannot popularize and teach the world's disciples.

Someone knocked on the door, Fu Zhenyu beat his spirits and raised his voice: "Please come in." ”

Cang Zijian pushed the door in, and said softly: "I boiled millet porridge for you, come and eat some." ”

When Fu Zhenyu saw that it was him, he immediately softened and said coquettishly: "Senior brother, I'm thinking about major events in life. ”

Cangzijian raised his eyebrows.

He can only think of one major life event in the girl's family. Although it is out of place, however, Cangzijian himself does not matter. He put down the bowl and asked, "So what do you think?" ”

"What does Senior Brother think of Guo Lao?"

"It's too old—" Cangzijian squeezed three words out between his teeth.

Fu Zhenyu glanced over with disapproval, and said: "Guo Lao is only fifty-seven, he is always a little old, not too old, obviously still available!" ”

Available?! Such imaginative words made Cangzijian wake up. The life event in the mouth of the shy junior sister is definitely not married. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked Fu Zhenyu: "Do you want to open a new discipline and ask Guo Lao to be a master?" ”

"yes, what's the idea?"

"Not good! That's the person invited by Lord Wang with all kinds of connections, and you want to get rid of it to be a master? Is Nanhu Academy going bankrupt? "It's rare, Cang Zijian was so angry that he didn't choose to speak.
