The rain in Beijing is still dripping, at this time, it is not said that it is a farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing, but the water in the yamen has also begun to accumulate, and there are often doors and windows that collapse and hurt people due to soaking in water.

"It's strange to say, I haven't seen such heavy rain for many years, why hasn't it stopped? Thanks to your long-term knowledge, you have put down those grains early, and now you can't even buy brown rice noodles for half a tael of silver and a pound on that episode! Mrs. Fang wore a hairpin for Wen Wan, and her mouth still couldn't leave the sky above her head.

Wen Wan hugged the hand stove and frowned: "My sister has sent a letter there?" ”

Mrs. Fang nodded for her before nodding: "Don't worry, when I arrived at Cao's Mansion, Steward Liu was directing the family to paste broken porcelain pieces on the courtyard wall, and it was not a prejudice for the slave to see his aunt's wife!" ”

Wen Wan relieved her mind slightly, and personally inspected the house inside and out before solemnly explaining to Mrs. Fang: "Close the door, those who want to go out during the day must be accompanied by three or five companies, and they will have to pass your inquiry." When it gets dark, no one is allowed to go out! ”

Mrs. Fang was so flustered that she helped Wen Wan to sit on the main seat before she asked her worriedly: "This rain is so serious?" ”

She wiped her sweaty palms on her body before pouring a cup of hot water and putting it in front of Wen Wan.

"I don't know, it's just such a heavy rain, and the tens of millions of people living by the river are afraid that they will suffer from the big seedlings. And who knows if the flood will be followed by an earthquake, a plague, or a drought? At that time. What can't people do for that bite to eat? ”

Mrs. Fang opened her mouth wide and didn't say anything for a long time, she knew that the situation outside was not good at this time, but how such a situation would harm herself and how it would make chaos in Beijing, she didn't dare to think and couldn't imagine.

She didn't know that what was gentle and sorrowful was not this menacing natural disaster, but the man-made disaster hidden behind this natural disaster.

That evening, Wen Wan, who was sleeping in a daze, heard a few heart-rending cries. When she opened her eyes, Lin Yuan had already walked to the door with her hair disclosed.

As soon as the door opened, the fighting cries that appeared from time to time became even worse, and Lin Yuan glanced back at her and strode out.

After touching a cup of tea, Wen Wancai, who was drowsy at the head of the bed, waited for Lin Yuan, who was cold, to lie down on the quilt: "It's okay, I touched a few nights next door and went in, the dumb man has already brought someone over to cook, go to sleep." ”

Wen Wan nodded, and soon yawned and fell asleep one after another, not even knowing that the man next to her had not closed his eyes for a long time.

A few days later, Wen Wan's speculation was confirmed, and the imperial court posted a grain requisition list, saying that dozens of prefectures and cities such as Lianghu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Changzhen, and Jiahu had destroyed 100,000 hectares of fields, collapsed countless houses, and drowned tens of thousands of people due to floods.

The imperial court wanted disaster relief, but the treasury was empty, so the people needed to contribute to help the Ming Dynasty survive the crisis.

At the same time as posting the list, the emperor, who was worried about the country and the people, had already taken the national teacher to the Guoqing Temple to worship the sky, praying that the dragon king would collect the rain and the world would be peaceful.

But after two days of rain, the men who had been holding up the sky at home began to be busy like spinning tops, and sometimes they could sleep with their rice bowls when they came home at night.

Since she was born and Mu, the spy secret soldier in her hand was taken away by Lin Yuan, and now that her sister is not coming to the door, she doesn't even know what the men in the family are doing.

The dinner table that night was very dull, and Yuan Bao and Ah Xian hung their heads like frosted eggplants and only cared about the rice.

After a while, Lin Yuan raised his head and said to Wen Wan: "You pack up your eldest child's luggage and clothes in the past two days, and He Fang will leave for Jiangsu and Zhejiang in five days." ”

Wen Wan, who fed the egg custard to the rice balls, was stunned for a moment, and looked at the eldest child who didn't speak for a long time before he spoke: "What are you going to do in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" ”

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and hugged the rice balls and put them on his lap, and said lightly: "I went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to serve as the governor of the government, and I am also the minister of disaster relief." ”

Wen Wan dropped the spoon and gritted her teeth: "No, he can't go!" What does the minister have to do with him as a gentleman? ”

Throw a mess to her son that no one has taken over, and if she looks at her, she will be tied up and let the couple take what they want?

She knows her son's temperament very well, and others may swallow the insignificant amount of disaster relief money, but her son will not, not only will he not pay for two more out of his own pocket.

"These days, why do you come home in the middle of the night with He'an? went to raid the house, the ministers, the nobles, the rich, none of them could escape, and the silver copied out was the money and food for disaster relief. Copied one after another, all the powerful people in Beijing called He'an offended, but the soldiers under him couldn't even get a son. Lin Yuan took care of himself and held the rice bowl, unfazed.

That day, because he remembered the little kindness when he was a child, he mistakenly believed in Wang Zheng and almost ruined the entire Ming Dynasty. Who else would you have in his eyes now but the world? Whether it is a powerful minister or a nobleman, he only thinks that he is still the former emperor, which is ridiculous! It's just a king's trade-off, and those who run out of use can squeeze out the last bit of use, and then they can replace them with their own people. ”

The emperor didn't use a trumped-up charge to copy the Lin family, and he took the money directly, but he already remembered the old feelings, maybe there were still people who played a buffering role here.

Wen Wan couldn't laugh even if she couldn't laugh: "So, if you don't want Ah Xian to starve to death with the people, and if you don't want the ingots to support the soldiers under your hands, our family has to contribute money and efforts to the court, right?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's right." The Mongol army is fighting fiercely in Datong with the Marquis of Zhongyong, and as far as I know, seventy-two generals have died in this battle. If the court's salary, silver, grain and grass are insufficient, and Wang Sui is defeated, who will be the next one to guard Datong? ”

At this time, Ah Xian stood up with Yuanbao, and bowed down gently: "The child is not filial, and it affects the parents who are extremely worried about it for half their lives, but the husband does something and does not do something." ”

Wen Wan could only look at the two handsome and upright young men and sighed, took the chopsticks handed by Mrs. Fang again, picked up the vegetables and put them in Lin Yuan's bowl, and then picked up her bowl of white rice, which was already cold, and chewed it slowly.

At night, the couple lay at the head of the bed, and when Lin Yuan pulled the quilt to cover her shoulders, Wen Wan said sullenly: "I can't help it, but he is old and has his own ideals and ambitions, and I can't decide the path of the second half of his life based on my own likes and dislikes." ”

Lin Yuan smiled dumbly: "You also know that he wants to be a good parent official in that city?" ”

Wen Wan looked at his breezy appearance and became angry: "He was raised by me, can I not know?" Since I was a child, I have loved to listen to me tell the stories of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and since I have made this Jishi, the table is full of official documents, not to mention how energetic I am! I guess the emperor asked him to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he was happy on his own, fool! ”

Lin Yuan was overjoyed to see her hatred of iron but not steel: "You should be as greedy for life and afraid of death as you are?" The tiger father has no dogs, and our eldest son is out of breath! ”
