Chapter 173: What It Looks Like After the Flood
After autumn, the weather becomes cold and dry, and occasionally a light rain makes people feel an autumn rain and a cold.
What happened before came to an end intermittently, which also made the cooperation between Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi more tacit.
Sometimes two people are busy, and they know what the other needs with just one look.
This delicate relationship sometimes makes Su Yan on the side a little envious, jealous and hateful.
It was windy at night, Dongfang Yi was awakened by the freezing that was rolling outside, and when he saw that Nalan Jin's quilt was not covered, he covered the quilt for her. Stopping the sound of the rain outside, it is destined to be another night that will never be extinguished.
Suddenly lightning and thunder woke Nalan Jin from Dongfang Yi's arms, looking at the lightning outside that illuminated half of the sky, a little frightened and scary.
"It's late autumn, why is there such a terrifying thunder?" Nalan Jin nestled into Dongfang Yi's arms and complained.
"There are still three muffled thunders in the summer, not to mention when the rainy season alternates to leave, it's okay, don't be afraid, it's good to have me to sleep with you in peace." Dongfang Yi touched Nalan Jin's sack to comfort him.
All night, I heard the thunder loudly, and no one had the heart to sleep, and I always felt that the bad things I did on weekdays were God's warning to them.
Nalambo cried all night, and Li sat with the child in his arms until dawn.
As soon as you got up from the Nalan family, you saw Lian'er running in in a panic.
"Were you also frightened by last night's thunder? How ugly is the face? Nalan Jin opened her worried eyes.
"Oh no, miss. There was a flood, and some of the people's homes were submerged. Lian'er stomped her foot worriedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about in the morning? How can rain flood this season? Nalan Jin frowned puzzled.
"Miss, I'm not talking nonsense, the government has already sent someone to rescue me, my family is in that direction, I'm worried about them, I want to go to them." Lian'er's anxious tears kept falling.
"If that's true, how can you help by going back like this? Don't worry! "Nalan family, you are completely sleepy all of a sudden, get out of bed to comfort Lian'er.
Dongfang Yi came back from outside, and his face was full of worries. The clothes on his body were still a little damp. It seems that the rain outside is quite heavy.
"Is it really flooding?" Nalan Jin stared at Dongfang Yi.
"You got it. I've sent the people in the workshop out to help, hoping there are no casualties. Dongfang Yi pinched his temples and felt sleepy all over.
"I'll go with you to see it."
The Nalan family took Lian'er and followed Dongfang Yi to the upper reaches of the flood to round with the lord of the mansion.
Watch as the relentless flood washes away the houses and crops, as well as the things that people have accumulated after a year's hard work, all taken away.
"Lord Fuya, how's the water going?" Oriental Elegance.
"The current situation is not optimistic, basically there are no casualties, but a little property is lost." The government has a fever
Pointing to the traces in the water.
Basically, it can be seen that those who are embarrassed have been rescued to high places. It's just that they are frightened and hungry, and they are shivering all over.
Some people even feel sorry for their own things, so they are carried away by the merciless flood in vain, sitting on the benefits and crying and shouting.
"What now? How can there be a flood if it is good? This terrain shouldn't be submerged. Nalan Zero looked at the direction in which the flood came down and was puzzled.
"The upstream of this place is a river, which has been safe before, it is estimated that there is too much water in the summer, and it rained heavily last night, and the water has not gone out, so it flows out along the low place, and the lowest terrain here has become a victim of the population."
The lord of the government took the drawings from the yamen, compared the current location in detail, and then carefully explained the surrounding terrain and landforms.
Nalan Jin looked at the people who fell into the water, everyone was soaked, and some even started to have a fever.
"If this continues, their bodies can't stand it, they are cold and hungry, and sooner or later something will go wrong." Nalan Zero pointed to those people.
"The official has ordered the yacha to start building their houses and build a porridge shed nearby to give porridge." The arrangement of the government is clear.
Nalan Ling felt that it was far from enough for so many people to rely on the people of the Yamen. So people in the workshop were arranged to stop the medical team from seeing a doctor and giving free medicine to the injured.
ordered the subordinates of Nalan Mansion to also follow the government to build a porridge shed and give porridge, and asked Su Yan to study the prescription to prevent the epidemic in this disaster, and help them test the wound to see if there is a possibility of inflammation.
After a few busy days, people gradually accepted the destruction of their homes, and with Nalan Jin's encouragement, they slowly began to cheer up.
Those young and strong young men, Nalan Jin arranged for them to work in his workshop to support their families.
"Jin'er take a break, and be careful of your body after being busy these days." Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin and obviously lost weight.
"I'm not so tired, let them rest first, Su Yan has been working day and night these days, I'm worried that his body won't be able to survive." Nalan Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Su Yan was busy giving people medicine and giving them medicine, and he didn't even have a chance to take a sip of the wine that he had been keeping with on weekdays.
"Instead of letting me rest, give me a drink to warm up. I haven't smelled wine in a long time, and I'm a little hungry. Su Yan gently turned the silver needle in his hand.
"Heh... You really don't leave your old business in three sentences, and you don't forget your wine wherever you go. Here you go, it's been ready for you a long time ago. Dongfang Yi threw the wine jug on his waist to Su Yan
When Dongfang Yi was preparing porridge for everyone, he prepared wine for Su Yan by the way.
Su Yan took the wine, couldn't wait to open it and smell it, feeling that he had strength all over his body. When I took a sip, I felt the blood boiling all over my body.
Looking at Su Yan's contented look, Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly.
Mr. Qian fights himself
After the sale of counterfeit medicines was exposed, business has been cold and tepid, and even if those real medicinal materials are given to people for nothing, people will not ask for them.
"Master, there was a flood, do you know about it?" The housekeeper asked.
"So what, it's not the master who drowned, what does it have to do with me?" Old Man Qian hung his head and shook his chair with his eyes closed.
"I heard that Nalan Mansion is cooking porridge with the government and giving free medical treatment to those who are injured, our business has not been good, if we can take this opportunity to win people's hearts, people will definitely remember us." The housekeeper analyzed.
Master Qian listened to some doorways, sat up suddenly, took away the fan on his face, and looked at the housekeeper in surprise.
"That's a good idea, why didn't I think of it, sir? Hurry up and arrange people, we will also go to soup kitchen, and we will do better than Nalan Mansion. ”
Master Qian immediately arranged for the people in the mansion to set up a porridge shed next to Nalan Mansion, and it was larger than Nalan Jin's shed, and the porridge was thicker than what they cooked.
"This porridge is so hopeful, just give each of them a bowl of water, are you doing a good deed, or do you want to have a good reputation, look at my porridge, it's all rice." Master Qian turned around in front of Nalan Jin with his hands behind his back and taunted her.
"Master Qian still has the mind to come out, there are so many rice in your porridge, who knows if it is better to rush again? Although the rice in my porridge is small, it is all genuine. Nalan Jin ridiculed the sarcastic old man.
"You!" Master Qian was speechless, "You are a yellow-haired girl, I don't have the same knowledge as you, my lord, doing good deeds is not your business alone, and I will too." ”
Master Qian leaned into Nalan Jin's ear and whispered.
Nalan Jin disdained to have a momentary verbal dispute with Master Qian, and concentrated on distributing the porridge to every victim who came to line up.
Master Qian sincerely shouted for a long time, but no one was willing to go to him to get a bowl of porridge. It's just because of the previous incident of counterfeit medicine that people are afraid.
After a few days of hard work, everyone finally overcame the disaster. A range of damage. With the support of the government, the victims of the devastation were able to rebuild their homes.
A young and middle-aged man with a difficult income was also accepted by Nalan Jin to work in his workshop.
In order to thank the government and the private sector for this cooperation, the government specially held a commendation meeting. In particular, Dongfang Yi was commended for his outstanding performance during the flood.
"This time, I would like to focus on thanking Nalan Mansion for its contribution, this is a plaque written by this official himself, thank you again." The lord of the government personally sent the plaque to Dongfang Yi's hand.
The moment Dongfang Yi got the plaque, what he was thinking about was Nalan Jin.
"This incident is the result of everyone's joint efforts, like our parents made the right decision at the first time, and the most important thing is that I want to thank my wife for her help and tolerance to me, and she is the person who should be given this plaque the most."
Dongfang Yi is here
When accepting the award, I don't forget to praise the lord of the government, and the so-called courtesy exchange is this reason.
The people do not fight with the officials, and always put the government in the first place, so that the future will be a little better.
Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi, and tears of emotion kept rolling in her eyes. She held the plaque in her hand and gently leaned on Dongfang Yi's shoulder.
Master Qian stood at the back of the crowd and looked at Dongfang Yi jealously, obviously he also contributed this time, but in the end, it was Dongfang Yi who was rewarded.
Without his benefits, even the lord of the mansion didn't even mention the name of Master Qian, which made her heart suffer a great blow.
"Sir. Why don't we go back first? The butler said.
"Why, obviously my lord and I also helped, and in the end, all the benefits were obtained by him alone." Master Qian asked angrily.
"Maybe the lord of the government thinks this matter is insignificant, so he ......" The butler felt a little reluctant to explain.
"Hmph, let's see, master, I will definitely let them know who is the head snake here!" Master Qian waved away angrily.
