Chapter Seventy-Eight: Stomach Aches
Mrs. Li's face changed greatly when she heard this, and then she quickly stepped forward and stopped the two children in her arms, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, "Thank you for reminding you, the women must watch them well these days, and they won't let them go to the front yard if they have nothing to do." ”
"That's very good, the official will leave first if he still has something to do." After An Mingchen left. Mrs. Li still didn't worry about pulling the two children, so she told her to make sure that they wouldn't run around.
The next day, the construction of the dam began, and when the people heard that they were doing this for their rations and for their good, a large group of villagers flocked to the yamen and rushed to the yamen to sign up for the dam. Lord Liu, who had laughed at them before for not finding anyone, looked very ugly when he saw this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for your support, but the construction of the dam is very hard, so let the elderly, women and children, and those who are not in good health go back." An Mingchen saw that there were many old people and children inside, so he directly expressed his worries, and Lord Han also echoed, "Yes, everyone, please rest assured, even if you don't go to work, our government will distribute food every day to ensure that everyone has something to eat." ”
"We know that adults are for our good, but we are not enough to eat as a family, adults can endure it, but children can't bear it, and when they are hungry, they cry, and we parents look at it bitterly. My lord, don't look at me as a woman, I really have strength. What a man can do, I can do. ”
The women under the woman's mouth echoed one after another, and Lord Liu began to gloat when he saw this, "This kind of Diao people like to gather crowds to make trouble, Lord An must be mentally prepared, they will not give up easily." ”
An Mingchen turned his head and glared at him, and continued, "Everyone, this official knows your feelings, but the disaster is only temporary, and the days ahead are still very long. But if you are injured because of a momentary benefit, the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard it, and An Mingchen saw that they were listening and continued, "Although the life is a little harder now, isn't it more important for the family to be together than anything?" Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the advice of this official, no matter how difficult it is, take your time. It's easy to get into trouble in a hurry. ”
"My lord, listen to you, you are a good official, and you will definitely not harm us." Someone in the crowd said, and others echoed it, "Yes, Lord An is a good official, she will definitely not harm us, let's do a good job to repay Lord An." The people followed An Mingchen's request, women, the elderly, children and people who were not in good health left, and the remaining men came forward to sign up, and after half a day's work, the people who repaired the dam were found.
In the afternoon, An Mingchen took people to the small river outside the city, looking at the big river that was level with the ground, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, if they hurry up, there will be a lot of water here at that time, even if there is a real drought later, this water is enough for them to plant two crops in the future.
This side is busy, on the other side, Huang Fuxue is not free for a moment, Huang Fuyun doesn't know what method to use to take the silk village back from Huang Fuxue's hands, for this matter, Huang Fuxue has no opinion at all, although he wants to master the way of doing business in this era as soon as possible, try more items, but she knows better that he is now all from the Huangfu family, and the head of the Huangfu family is Huangfu Zhengxiong.
Huangfu Yun took back the silk village, Huangfu Yue also began to be tempted, it is said that he went to find Huangfu Zhengxiong several times, Huangfu Zhengxiong did not agree, the angry Huangfu Yue made trouble for several days, seeing that there was no hope at all, finally stopped, a few days passed, the atmosphere at home was still a little dignified, Huangfu Xue tried to reduce his sense of existence every day after eating and left the table as soon as possible, not wanting to get involved in these miscellaneous things.
But some people don't care how you hide, she is like a dog skin plaster pestering you, this evening the family sat together to eat, Huang Fuyun suddenly spoke, "Dad, my daughter heard that the situation in Jiangnan is very bad, not to mention the serious floods, and many people have died." Saying that, he glanced at Huangfu Xue, "I don't know what the disaster relief food sent by the second sister is for, otherwise we wouldn't be able to help at all." ”
Huangfu Zhengxiong has also heard about some situations in Jiangnan in the past few days, but he didn't take it to heart, but now he thinks about it when he hears the third child mention it.
"Dad, although our Huangfu family is not short of money or food, but we didn't send food in vain and couldn't even see a splash. If the second brother-in-law fights a little bit and cures the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, there is nothing for the people, even if our Huangfu family is a good person for nothing, but now it seems that there is nothing, is this ......"
Huang Fuyue immediately became interested when she heard this, "Yes, Dad, what did the second brother say at the beginning, that is called an oath, what second brother-in-law is Gao Badou will definitely control the situation in Jiangnan, what as long as the disaster relief food is sent, the people will not have to worry about their lives, but now?" Hmph, I'm afraid they don't have any chance of winning at all, but they just want to cheat some food from home and resell it. ”
Huang Fuxue sat at the table, eating dinner calmly, as if he hadn't heard what they said. Huangfu Zhengxiong glanced at her, "Second brother, do you have anything to explain." ”
"Dad, the clear is self-purifying, I have nothing to explain. And I believe in An Mingchen, he said that if there is a way, there will be a way to control the situation in Jiangnan, we just have to wait. ”
"Where did the second brother get his confidence, I really don't know if you are stupid or stupid, you believe in the second brother-in-law like this, you are not afraid that he will have any careful thoughts behind your back, after all, he is now a big official, we are just a family of businessmen, although the Huangfu family is rich, but our status is low, but we can't help him in the slightest, and it is understandable that he has other thoughts."
Huang Fuyue deliberately squeezed her like this. Huang Fuxue glanced up at her, "Eldest sister can't see me like this, okay?" Speaking of which, we are all a family, you curse my husband like this, in addition, how much do you know about the situation in Jiangnan, what is the difference between you talking like this and the long-tongued woman on the street. ”
No matter what An Mingchen will do in the future, and what he thinks now, Huang Fuyue, as her eldest sister, cursing her sister like this is vicious in her opinion, she is not a saint, everyone curses herself like this, and she has to pretend to be nothing, then he is really stupid
Huangfu Yue didn't expect him to say this about himself in front of his father, angrily pointed at her with chopsticks, opened his mouth and wanted to scold, Huangfu Zhengxiong raised his head and glared at him, "Enough, you guys are not tired of arguing all day." ”
"Dad, it's obviously the second child who is wrong, let's say this is not for his good, who knows that if he doesn't appreciate it, even if he still says this, Dad, the second child is so arrogant now, and he will understand it in the future, and you don't care about her."
"When the eldest sister wants my father to take care of me, think about myself, I keep all the account books of the rice bank, does the eldest sister want my father to take a look?" Huang Fuxue glanced at her with a sneer, and Huang Fuyue's face changed greatly when she heard this. Secretly wondered, how did she know this, why was that ledger in her hand when he had hidden it well?
When Huangfu Yue lowered her head and thought about things, Huangfu Zhengxiong glanced at her, and then looked at Huangfu Xue and asked, ; "What are you going to say to your father, is there something wrong with your eldest sister sitting again?"
"It's better for the eldest sister to say it herself, after all, the eldest sister has been more fond of the role of the long-tongued woman recently." After Huang Fuxue finished speaking, she looked at Huang Fuyun again, Huang Fuyun was not clean, and when she saw her in a few words, she pulled her eldest sister into the water and immediately worried about herself, her stomach began to hurt when she was nervous, her face gradually changed, her hand was holding the table, and a little cold sweat remained. Seeing this, Zhong Lin immediately panicked, "Lady, what's wrong with you, lady, are you okay?" ”
Seeing this, several people immediately stood up, "Go to the doctor, the sooner the better." ”
Zhong Lin took Huangfu Yun back to his residence, and Huangfu Zhengxiong took the two sisters to the North Courtyard together, and after a while, the doctor came, checked the pulse, and prescribed some medicine.
"Doctor, what's wrong with my third daughter, but she's about to give birth?" Huangfu Zhengxiong looked worried, and the doctor smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Master Huangfu, the third lady is just having a fetal gas, and she will be fine after a few days of rest." ”
Huangfu Zhengxiong immediately relaxed when he heard this, but Huangfu Yun in the house didn't believe in the doctor's medical skills, and clamored for Chang Baiyu to come over to help her see the disease, and the doctor's face immediately sank when he heard it, "Since the third lady doesn't believe in the old man's medical skills, the old man will take his leave first." ”
"Doctor Chen, don't go, Doctor Chen......" Huangfu Zhengxiong asked the little servant to send the doctor away, and glared at the middle of the room with an unkind face, "It's okay to mess around on weekdays, is it time for you to mess around?" ”
"Dad, I'm so scared, am I dying, Dad, can you help me invite Dr. Chang over, I don't believe that he is a miracle doctor, I am anxious to believe his words. Dad, you love your daughter the most, can you help your daughter, Dad......" Huangfu Yun begged again and again, Huangfu Zhengxiong originally looked unhappy, and when he saw this, he couldn't bear it. After all, it's all his daughter, and he really can't be indifferent.
Huangfu Xue stood next to him, and when she saw this, she took the initiative to call the maid to invite Chang Baiyu, and after a while, Caiyu followed Chang Baiyu in. The two saluted the old man and went directly to the back room, Huang Fuyun's face was still not very good, but it was much better than just now. Chang Baiyu sat down to take her pulse.
"Doctor Chang, how is my child, is there anything wrong with her, is there anyone trying to harm me, otherwise why do I have a stomachache. Doctor Chang, you must help me, help me find the murderer, and tell my father that she must be arrested, otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping. ”
Huangfu Yun was sure that someone was trying to harm her, so she suddenly had a stomachache, except that she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of the words pointed to Huangfu Xue and Huang Fuyue. Her voice was not loud or small, and she happened to hear it outside, and when she heard it, Huangfu Xue smiled meaningfully. Huangfu Yue's face darkened.
