Chapter 13 Patrol of the Levee
He Lan's hands trembled, and he almost knocked over the tea cup in his hand, others were not stupid, they knew what Su Huai'an said, so they bowed down immediately, and lay their hands on the table, "Master Su knows everything?" ”
"What do you say?" Su Huai'an calmly put down the teacup, "What to do, how to choose, Lord He already knows, whether Lord He wants to take someone to the embankment to have a look." ”
"This ......" He Lan hesitated slightly, he was also planning in his heart.
Su Huai'an got up, helped He Lan up, and planned to appease, "Lord He, since Su is here to supervise the work, of course he has to inspect the existing embankment construction along the river, if there is a problem, it will also be borne by Su Someone, and Lord He doesn't have to go too far in his heart." ”
He Lan was helped up by Su Huai'an, observing Su Huai'an's expression, and some were suspicious, "Master Su." ”
Su Huai'an shook his head lightly, signaling He Lan not to say more, and turned his head and called Fuxi, who was standing outside the door, "Fuxi!" ”
Fu Xi was already holding his arms outside the door, staring intently at the environment outside the house, and at this time he heard Su Huai'an shouting, and hurriedly pushed the door in, "My lord?" What's wrong? ”
"Prepare, Lord He will take us to the embankment to inspect it." Su Huai'an commanded.
Although He Lan had a difficult face, he figured it out in the end, and finally agreed to go to the embankment along the river with Su Huai'an to take a look at the embankment along the river.
He Lan changed into civilian clothes, and then carefully led Su Huai'an from the back door of the granary and entered the carriage, and when Fuxi drove the carriage away, He Lan's expression relaxed slightly.
He arched his hand to Su Huai'an, "My lord, let's talk about it, take you to see it this time, you just need to build an embankment and repair the river, don't ask about other things, ask the lower officials, the lower officials don't know and can't be the master." ”
Su Huai'an nodded, "Please rest assured about this, Lord He." ”
As he was walking on the road, the rain was getting heavier again, He Lan pointed to a shortcut, and it didn't take long to arrive.
The three of them got out of the car, Fuxi took the umbrella, handed it to He Lan, and held it up for Su Huai'an.
The surging river is rushing, and many of the fertile fields that were originally by the river are now like a vast ocean, and they are submerged.
Su Huai'an walked in the wet muddy water one foot deep and one foot shallow, and only when he reached the embankment did he turn around and ask He Lan who was following him, "Lord He, is this the embankment along the river?" ”
He Lan wiped the rain and sweat from his head, "Yes." ”
Su Huai'an squatted down and looked at it for a while before using his hand to buckle the remaining embankment.
She didn't expect that the embankment, which seemed to be still there, was lightly buckled by her, and a large piece of it was buckled, and she twisted it with her hand, and her brows gradually furrowed.
Something was wrong with Fuxi on the side, and he leaned forward slightly, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
Su Huaian shook his head, "It's nothing, that's all for today, let's go back first." ”
"My lord, are you leaving? We haven't seen much of it yet, have we? Fuxi was a little surprised, he didn't know what his lord was selling in the gourd, or that there was no medicine to sell at all.
Su Huai'an glanced at him lightly, he lowered his head and stopped talking, his family adults like to use this kind of silent action the most, looking not salty or light, in fact, the most scary and deterrent, he is most afraid of the adult's gentle sweeping to watch his own actions anyway.
This scene made He Lan on the side relieved, "My lord can say this, that's great, I'm afraid it will be dark in a while, and it's just right to go back at this time." ”
He Lan walked in front, and Su Huai'an walked behind, with a lot of worries.
Su Huai'an and He Lan got into the carriage, and Fuxi was still sitting outside the carriage to catch the car.
Su Huai'an asked He Lan, "Lord He, who is in charge of the construction of the embankment in the front river mansion?" ”
"This ......" He Lan hesitated.
Su Huai'an knew that He Lan had hesitation in his heart, so he laughed and said in a relaxed tone, "Lord He doesn't need to be nervous, just ask casually, Lord He doesn't hurt to say it." ”
He Lan also smiled after hearing this, unlike Su Huai'an, his wry smile, lined with his already fleshy face was all crowded together at this moment, "Why should Lord Su comfort the lower officials like this, being an official in the same field, although he is not a classmate, he is also half a colleague, such a world, the adults know, so he didn't say it casually." ”
Su Huai'an heard He Lan say this, and looked at him quietly, her thin eyebrows and light eyes made people stare at people with cold sweat.
He Lan had no choice but to be stared at by Su Huai'an, knowing that he couldn't hide from the left and right, so he had to be truthful, "My lord, the repair of the embankment along the river has always been in charge of Lord Jiang Zongnian in the past few years. ”
"Oh?"
"But my lord, there are still a lot of interests in this, not all of them have entered the pocket of Lord Jiang alone, if you want to dig deeper, layer upon layer, there are a lot of mouths, Lord Su listens to the advice of the lower officials, if Lord Jiang does not have any out-of-the-ordinary actions this time, it is better for everyone to be at peace like this."
"Lord Ho, do you know that the dikes along the river are made of clay?" Su Huai'an's face suddenly turned cold.
He Lan was silent at the moment.
Fuxi was familiar with driving, and before Su Huai'an could ask again, the car had already arrived at the granary where He Lan came.
The two came down, and He Lan saluted and entered the granary.
Su Huai'an watched quietly from behind, his face slightly pale.
Fuxi handed over the carriage to the granary steward, and followed Su Huai'an with an umbrella.
Not long after, someone in the granary brought Su Huai'an to beat rice this morning.
"My lord, this is the Shengdou that Lord He wants to give to you, and Lord He also ordered, if you need rice and noodles in the house next time, just order your subordinates to take them, and you will not be missing."
Fuxi took it by his side and looked at Su Huai'an, "My lord, are we?" ”
"Let's go back." Su Huai'an suddenly sighed.
The two walked quietly in the rainy night, Fuxi stood beside Su Huai'an and stopped talking, the long night road was silent, and even the watch did not appear.
"My lord, Fuxi has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
Su Huai'an slowed down, and although he didn't speak, he seemed to be waiting for Fuxi to speak.
"My lord, let's come over this time, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the management of floods along the river, and Fuxi wants to remind your adults not to think about other things." Fuxi said seriously.
Su Huai'an slowed down, "Fuxi, do you think I'll think about something else." ”
Fuxi smiled shyly and scratched her head, "My lord, this matter, it's not easy to say, I just think you have other things in mind, but no matter what, the first priority is to do a good job of the things explained by the above." ”
Su Huai'an suddenly laughed when she listened, she teased Fuxi who was carrying an umbrella behind her, "Fuxi, why didn't I look at you so sensibly before, the meaning of the Son of Heaven is not something you and I can guess, what to do, what not to touch, I know it in my heart." ”
Fu Xi saw that Su Huai'an seemed to be determined, and settled down in her heart, "My lord, if you say so, Fu Xi will be much more relieved." ”
The two walked to the original dilapidated residential area, and Fuxi took the shengdou, "My lord, you go into the house with an umbrella first, and the little one will go and make some porridge for the two of us first, what kind of food are you going to eat, adult?" ”
"Where did you get your food?"
"Back to the adult, just now I looked at the cabbage given by the adult in the shengdou." Fuxi's eyes widened and she answered honestly.
"Oh?" Su Huai'an frowned slightly, "Enter the house." ”
"Huh?"
Fuxi entered the house with this Su Huai'an, Su Huai'an ordered Fuxi to put the shengdou on the ground, picked up the cabbage given by He Lan, and looked at it again and again for a while, and then let Fuxi cook porridge.
Su Huai'an began to sort out the books brought to Yanhe Mansion from the wooden box wrapped in oiled paper in front of the hall, and flipped through them, none of them taught people how to fight wits and courage with others, Su Huai'an sorted out the books one by one, and before he knew it, the night was already darker.
Fuxi cooked the porridge here, fried the vegetables, came in with a tray, and saw Su Huai'an cleaning up the desk and hurriedly put it on the table next to the clinic, "My lord, you put it away, just let the little one come to this kind of thing." ”
Su Huai'an smiled, "You can't separate the two portions alone, anyway, I'm idle," Su Huai'an looked at the weight of only one of himself on the table, "Fuxi, where's your food?" ”
Fuxi hung her head and stood up, "My lord, Fuxi can go to the kitchen to eat by one of her subordinates." ”
Su Huai'an didn't wait for him to continue, "You brought the food over to eat together, our family doesn't need to divide any adults and subordinates." ”
"This ......," Fuxi hesitated.
Su Huai'an pretended to be fierce, "What? You don't even listen to adults, do you? ”
"No, it's not!" Fuxi hurriedly explained.
"Then don't go quickly."
Fuxi had no choice but to listen to Su Huai'an's instructions and then quit, and took her share from the kitchen.
Su Huai'an saw the clue at a glance, Fuxi's bowl of porridge was like clear water, and he saw that the porridge soup did not see the porridge rice.
Su Huai'an looked down at his porridge bowl, which was as full as dry rice, and immediately distributed half of his rice grain to Fuxi.
Fuxi wanted to hide from the bowl, but Su Huai'an was pouring rice into his bowl, and he couldn't take it, as soon as he took the rice poured out of Su Huai'an's bowl, it would fall on the table.
Su Huai'an picked up Fuxi's bowl again and poured some rice soup, "Let's two and a half of each person," he saw that Fuxi didn't leave any food for himself, so he pushed his bowl to Fuxi, "Let's eat together." ”
Fu Xi had been following the rules, but seeing Su Huai'an like this to herself, she felt warm in her heart, "My lord." His vocal cords choked.
Su Huai'an waved his hand, "Eat quickly." ”
"Hmm!" Fuxi agreed, and began to suck the rice in the bowl.
Su Huai'an had something on his mind, so he ate slowly, and saw that Fuxi refused to pick up vegetables, and he sandwiched some vegetables into Fuxi's bowl.
The two of them were fast and slow, but the result was that Fuxi finished eating, and Su Huai'an only ate half of it.
Fuxi took her bowl, "My lord, you finish eating in a while, just call Fuxi, Fuxi went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks first, and then packed her luggage in the hall outside." ”
Su Huai'an nodded.
The night was cold, Su Huai'an was wrapped in a quilt that had not seen the sun for a long time, and a tide rushed into her nose, she thought that she would keep her spirit tomorrow to see the strangeness of Yanhe Mansion, no matter what, she had to sleep to save her mental and physical strength, and slept until midnight.
When he was half-asleep and half-awake, a light suddenly jumped out of his eyelids, Su Huai'an came to a strange place, coupled with the complicated situation now, he was already uneasy, and his alertness was unprecedentedly high at this time, although he fell asleep, he felt the heat and light, and suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
She saw that the originally dark room was on fire in the middle, but the fire was not big, it was just a small pile of firewood for heating, she stabilized her mind, and was frowning and sweeping around, and saw a white-clothed figure also looking at herself, and couldn't help blurting out, "Why are you here?" ”
