Chapter 3: Luck
Su Huai'an frowned when he heard this, "Drainage and irrigation of acres of fields is a way, but this rain has been raining for dozens of days, breaking the embankment, flooding the fields, displacing the people, and having no place to live. ”
Tang Yue knew her temper, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and then she spat out lightly, with persuasion and appeasement, and more of an instruction, "You, you are in the Ministry of Works, don't be distracted by other chores, disaster relief and appease the people That's the household department, do you want to take care of it?" If you are so arrogant, you are not afraid that the emperor will punish you. ”
"Well, that's how it should be, that is, pity those people, if you don't govern well, it's the ordinary people who suffer." Su Huai'an hugged the tea cup that was not too hot to warm his hands, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"How many generations and how many years have passed since the ancient Dayu control the water? Huai'an, I want to advise you, don't hold on to the king. Tang Yue's last half sentence was the point, he wanted to mention it, but Su Huai'an didn't hear it, and sure enough, she said bluntly.
"If you say that, there's no way to do it." Su Huai'an clenched his fists, "Is there no way?!" ”
She slammed her fist into the table, causing some of the tea on the table to spill out.
Tang Yue was a little helpless, he had to get up, took Su Huai'an's hand, and saw that there was no injury left by beating the table just now, so he put her hand down, he felt that the light in the room was slowly dimming, and looked back at the gradually rising night outside the window.
"It's getting dark, you have to walk through the thorn forest now, rest here tonight." Tang Yue made proper arrangements.
"Hmm." Su Huai'an didn't refuse, just hung his head, still thinking about the affairs of Yanhe Mansion in his heart, "Then I will go to the court tomorrow to tell the emperor that I will go to Yanhe Mansion in person." ”
"Hmm." Tang Yue replied lightly, he didn't have much else to say.
After cleaning up and having dinner, the two of them were separated by half a room, and each person had a bamboo couch.
The night was a little cold, and when the windows were closed, some wind inevitably blew in through the cracks, carrying a stream of moisture from the grass and trees.
"You can't sleep well?" Tang Yue'er heard Su Huai'an, who was sleeping in the other bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't help asking.
"You're still the same as before." Su Huai'an couldn't sleep, and was a little bored and pointed at the brocade quilt on the bamboo couch with his back to Tang Yue, pouting with a hint of coquettishness, "If you are not in good health, you don't rest early, what do you think?" ”
Tang Yue put down the arm that was pillowing her head, "I'm a little worried." ”
Su Huai'an opened his eyes and looked at the shadows of the trees outside the oily paper window, swaying with the rain, and there was silence for a while.
Tang Yue looked at her like this, and expected her to be uneasy in her heart, "You don't need to think too much, do your own thing, and don't worry about the others." ”
"Tang Yue, do you hate me? Do you hate me for being a silent person who enters the court with the worship post that was originally given to you? Su Huai'an tilted her head sideways, breathing steadily, she was really curious.
"What's the use of talking about that now." Tang Yue's tone was light, but it sounded displeased.
"That's right." Su Huai'an closed his eyes, and was just about to go to sleep when he heard Tang Yue's next words.
"The riverside house you are going to this time is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it is the most difficult to treat."
Tang Yue paused, "It has been like this for dozens of days, the river is silted, I am afraid that even the Huai River below will suffer, and when the early autumn is over and the weather is cold, it will be a problem for refugees to keep warm." ”
"I know." Su Huai'an sighed, with a trace of sadness on her face, how could she not have imagined.
Tang Yue pulled out his hand and put it behind his head, "You, you shouldn't go to this muddy water, the middle stream is the easiest to manage, but how many counties are in the middle stream, if you manage them one by one, it will cost a lot." ”
What Tang Yue said was not unreasonable, and Su Huai'an was silent.
"Besides, there is a lot of knowledge about how to plant trees and forests in the middle reaches, even if you have a method, if the imperial court doesn't support it, you don't have the financial support, and it's even more difficult."
Tang Yue looked back and looked straight at the gauze tent above his head, and the white gauze tent could vaguely see the lines of the wooden roof, "Therefore, the top priority is to quickly take the soldiers to strengthen the embankment and dredge the river." ”
"Tang Yue, is this blood feud, only I remember?" Su Huai'an is upright, not like he is sleepy.
"No, I just want to remind you that this world is the emperor's world."
"Since it is the emperor's world, how can you allow the king to behave like this?" Su Huai'an whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let more than 30 members of the Tang family die in vain, I don't have a surname Tang, you are a humble gentleman and follow the teachings, I am a woman, I don't need to remember this, I will do the things to find clues, I won't blame you if you don't make a move." ”
"Don't mention it, go to sleep." Tang Yue whispered softly and stretched out her hand to extinguish the candle flame.
"Your Majesty, the current flood is rampant, and the rain has not dissipated for more than a month, Weichen thinks that the urgent task is to rush to the riverside mansion and lead a group of elite soldiers to take sacks and fill sand and gravel to raise the river embankment to resist the flooding, and it is necessary to dig more rivers to drain the silted rainwater." Su Huai'an raised his hand above his head and bowed his head to the right path.
The emperor of the palace stood up straight, revealing a hint of a smile, "Aiqing said well, would you like to go to Yanhe Mansion to lead everyone to fight against the flood?" ”
Su Huai'an immediately lifted his robe, knelt on the ground and bowed, "Weichen is willing to order the order to go." ”
Coming out of the palace gate, Fuxi, who was waiting outside, saw Su Huai'an come out, and came to greet him with an umbrella at a trot, "My lord, is it okay with the three-day limit?" ”
Su Huai'an looked at Fuxi and nodded.
"That's right, hehe." Fuxi happily lifted the door of the sedan chair, waited for her to go up, drank the sedan chair, and ran quickly with the sedan chair.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Su Huai'an woke up, he called a few times, and Fuxi hurriedly tied the belt around his waist and ran over, "My lord, what are you calling Fuxi?" ”
"It's been a hard few days, especially today, I found luck earlier, and I should throw it away, and it's time to go to Yanhe Mansion to take office."
Su Huai'an said in an orderly manner.
"Yes." Although Fuxi was very sleepy, she still agreed.
Su Huai'an got up, and Fuxi also went out early to find the luck of being willing to ship goods in Beijing.
The house was busy for a while, and finally sorted out all the things that should be taken to the riverside mansion.
When it was time to leave in the afternoon, Su Huai'an saw the bearded man who was lucky.
The bearded Hu Sheng was rough, full of tendon flesh, and looked reliable, he hugged his fist at Su Huai'an, "My lord, the villain beard has seen Master Su." ”
Su Huai'an nodded, "Well, Fu Xike has explained everything that should be explained?" ”
The bearded man still clenched his fists, "Yes, my lord, Steward Fu has explained, and the little ones know it." ”
"In that case, I don't need to say anything else, but this wooden box in the middle of the car is my books, and I need to be careful about transporting them."
The bearded man's voice was loud, "Yes, my lord." ”
Su Huai'an stepped on the wooden bench that Fuxi put on the ground and got into the carriage, and the group rechecked the items they had transported, and then slowly began to march in the heavy rain, along the river is hundreds of miles away from Beijing, and it will take more than a month just to walk the fastest and fastest, not to mention that it is raining everywhere now.
Su Huai'an gently lifted the square window, looking at the scenery of the capital in the rain, there was almost no one on the street, and the rest were all people who trotted all the way with umbrellas or simply without umbrellas.
She sighed in her heart for a while, the former prosperous capital, shops closed, the bustling streets no longer pedestrians, if the capital is like this, I can't imagine what Yanhefu will become, she has no bottom in her heart, the more she thinks about it, the more depressed she is, and the small space in the carriage makes her feel bored.
She kept moving in the car, and Fuxi, who was sitting at the front of the carriage outside, noticed the movement, and Fuxi knew that her master was unhappy and wanted to be relieved, but she didn't know what to say.
had to be in the carriage where Su Huai'an was sitting outside, "Master Su, we are really lucky today." ”
"Huh?"
"My lord, you said that on this rainy day, who would accept the goods, and the small ones found all the ones on the outskirts of the city, but no one picked them up."
Su Huai'an was silent, waiting for Fuxi to continue.
"But don't you know, the little one was driven out in a few places, and when he accidentally fell into the mud, he met Brother Beard, and when he heard that we were going to Yanhe Mansion, he picked us up immediately." Fuxi's voice was light, and she seemed to be quite happy to hear it.
"Hmm." Su Huai'an responded lightly, still looking at the rain outside the window.
A group of people may have just started on the road, walking is not slow, this will have reached the outskirts of Beijing, as far as the eye can see, full of green, although the rain is heavy, down the leaves, it is also a little smaller.
The forest was silent, and because of the bad weather, there was no one to say anything on the way.
"Drive!" Drinking in the air, it sounds extraordinary.
"Who?" The bearded man shouted outside the car.
Immediately afterwards, Su Huai'an heard the voice of a young woman, the tone was higher than the voice of the bearded woman, and there was no fear at all, but a little angry, "Blind your dog eyes, quickly call Su Huai'an out, my son-in-law has something to explain!" ”
"What kind of boy and girl, if you know each other, give way to Lao Tzu quickly, otherwise don't blame the guy in Lao Tzu's hand for not having long eyes!" Where would the bearded man ignore the unreasonable demands of the living, thinking about scaring off the other party.
"Shake the light, cough cough, don't be rude."
Su Huai'an was closing her eyes and recuperating in the car, listening to the movement outside, she sat up straight and listened carefully to the movement outside the car, until she heard a familiar voice outside the car, she suddenly lifted the curtain and came down.
"Tang Yue?" She was surprised and anxious, "Why are you here?" It's windy and rainy outside, so you shouldn't travel. ”
Su Huai'an ignored the umbrella and walked a few steps to Tang Yue.
"Brothers, copy the guys! Where did this come from, blocking the official road of the adults, and Tse is looking for death! ”
The bearded man behind Su Huai'an didn't know the situation, thinking that he was a bad guy passing by, so he had to rush up with his team.
Su Huai'an raised his hand behind him and motioned for the other party to step back.
The bearded man was puzzled, "My lord? ”
Fuxi, who had just taken an oil umbrella from behind the carriage, recognized Tang Yue, trotted up and stretched out her hand to pull a handful of beards, signaling the other party to listen to Su Huai'an's instructions, and then stood beside Su Huai'an with an umbrella.
Tang Yue was wearing a snow-white cloak, standing quietly in the rain, and the shaking light standing next to him was glaring at Su Huai'an viciously, obviously not waiting to see Su Huai'an.
"Fuxi, you go to the carriage and wait for me with the bearded beard."
Su Huai'an gave the order first.
Fuxi was a little worried, "My lord...... Term of office of Riverside Province ......"
"It's okay, don't delay for long."
She took the umbrella from Fuxi's hand and walked up to Tang Yue, "With such a heavy rain, why is it not good to recuperate?" ”
Before Tang Yue could speak, the shaking light on the side couldn't wait, "Are you embarrassed?!" Su Huai'an, if you weren't idle and had nothing to do, you would have to enter the court, and my son-in-law would have come in the rain again and again for your business?! ”
Su Huai'an knew that what Shaoguang said was true, and felt a little guilty in his heart, and stood back.
