Chapter Seven: The County Master of Qinghe County (3)
Qi Su Niang heard Li Siqin speak, and couldn't help but laugh, even the big boat and even the big river also laughed. Lian Dachuan is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young student, the most clever, and said with a funny smile: "Second master, fortunately, you only have a concubine, no mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this." ”
Li Siqin glared, and before he could speak, Lian Dahe, who was two years older, frowned and said, "How can these foul words not be silenced in front of Mrs. ”
Even the big boat was immediately silenced, and Li Siqin smacked his tongue, "I said, Dahe, you have even taught me a lesson now, which sentence I said is not rude?" You're still not letting me speak? ”
Qi Su Niang couldn't laugh well, and even Dahe laughed with him: "The second master, the meaning of the little one, just let him not say those two words, so as not to offend Madame." ”
Li Siqin glared, "Which two words?" Is it a mother-in-law, or a concubine? It's not much worse. ”
Qi Su Niang and Lian Da Chuan laughed secretly, and even Da He smiled bitterly, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Second master, I heard that the emperor is touring the south again, I don't know where I am at this time?" Will it come to us? Our dam is the name of the imperial dam given by the emperor himself. ”
Even the big boat hurriedly picked it up, "I heard that the emperor is still in Cangzhou, and there is another flood over there." ”
Li Siqin said: "I obviously heard that the emperor has passed our piece, and they have all arrived in Yangzhou Mansion, why are they still in Cangzhou?" ”
Qi Su Niang quietly yawned in her bib, and said indifferently: "Who cares where the emperor is?" When he came to us, it didn't do us any good, and we had to work hard to take over, and how much money would be thrown into the water alone? We don't have the money to spare. "She has been used to being a rough man in the past few days, and her speech is less restrained, and the taste of Kanshan in her previous life has come out.
Li Siqin glanced at her, "In the past few days, I still feel that you are very clever, not like an uninformed woman." Now I know that you are more stupid than my concubine. Are you so used to having no brains anymore? ”
Rao is Qi Su Niang has never bothered with him, and she can't help but be annoyed: "What do you say? Isn't it fun to find? ”
Li Siqin didn't look at Lian Dahe, who gave him a fierce look, and snorted: "The wife is expensive with the husband, if your man takes the driver, it means that the emperor values him, maybe he will be promoted to three levels, and your order will also jump upward, and it will not take you any effort." Thinking about your pungent and poor appearance in the Guandi Temple at the beginning, I didn't expect that you would be able to become the lady of the county and the queen mother, and wait in front of the emperor and the queen mother, isn't it all up to your man? Why can't you think about something so clear? ”
Qi Su Niang sneered, "This is good-looking on the surface, and it's really good on the inside." Others fool us, we can't fool ourselves, right? ”
"You are content, nothing else, think about the miserable appearance of the two of us in the Guandi Temple, you gave up a hand for a few beds of rotten wool, and I was also bullied by you in Pingyang, how are those days better than now?"
Qi Su Niang suddenly laughed, and was about to say more, but she heard a mess outside, and a panicked cry sounded outside the gate, "The second master, the second master, it's not good!" Just now, Bai Lao Wu pulled the wrong bar, and the water outside flooded in! ”
The room was full of surprise, and Li Siqin immediately jumped up, "You stay here, I'll go and have a look." With that, he rushed out the door. Qi Su Niang's mind turned sharply, which construction site is Bai Lao Wu in, and what pole will make the river water pour back if he pulls the wrong one? Suddenly, his heart flashed, he jumped up and chased to the door, and shouted: "Li Si, just take a look, don't move." "Li Siqin has long since disappeared.
Qi Su Niang was about to chase out, and Lian Dahe and Lian Da Boat stopped left and right, and Lian Da Boat smiled and said: "Madam, the second master, please wait here for a while." ”
Even Dahe said: "The big boss will come back from the salt pan soon, there will be no big deal, don't worry, madam." ”
Qi Su Niang was so anxious that she opened the tent, glared at Lian Dahe, and shouted: "This project has not yet been completed, if it is not good, it will be completely destroyed, and the things will be destroyed, or it will hurt people's lives, how can I explain to him when the big boss comes back?" How do you explain to the county people when you go back? ”
Lian Dachuan on the side saw Mrs. Xiantai's face for the first time, and couldn't help but take a closer look, and Qi Su Niang immediately rushed out from his side. Lian Dahe was furious and smacked him hard, "Look at it!" Can you see her? Beware of the big boss coming back and gouging out your eyeballs! With that, he hurried out in pursuit
Qi Su Niang came out of the gate, saw that the gang was in a mess, and hurriedly went to the dam. Lian Dahe followed closely behind her, and occasionally the gang came over, and when they saw Lian Dahe, they hurriedly hid to the side.
Qi Su Niang lifted her skirt and waded into the water, staggered into a construction site, turned into a sluice room, and suddenly saw that Li Siqin was going to set up a new organ, and shouted: "Stop!" He rushed over and grabbed his arm, but he didn't expect the mechanism to be activated, and the river rushed into the room in the early spring, and immediately rolled up everyone in the room and rushed towards the room.
The icy water of the Cao River in early spring was so cold that people shivered, and Qi Su Niang grabbed a mechanism in the room and resisted it to prevent it from being washed out of the sluice room by the water. When the water stopped for a while, Qi Su Niang endured the cold, raised her head and took a deep breath of water, dived underwater, examined the organs one by one, and secretly complained, she had learned to repair the dam and gate with civil engineering. There are only five mechanisms, which are not her master, but are now mixed in the old mechanisms at the gate, and it is especially difficult to distinguish them underwater.
While thinking about it, the breath in her chest was insufficient, and she was about to float up, but she was grabbed by a hand, and rushed out of the water with her in a blink of an eye, and a thunderous voice sounded in her ears: "Didn't you stay in the house?" You-"
Qi Su Niang hurriedly waved her hand to stop him from talking, inhaled again and again, and said, "Second master, don't talk about this yet, you help me, let's go down together and restore the mechanism." ”
Li Siqin stepped on the water and looked at her for a while, "Why are you working so hard for this?" What benefits did Big Brother give you? ”
Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Siqin carefully, and secretly said that Chen Yan was really right, and an honest person like Li Siqin also had his own plans. She didn't want to deceive her and have trouble with him, so she smiled vaguely and bitterly: "Naturally, there are in and out, am I a person who is willing to suffer?" ”
Li Siqin snorted and said roughly, "Inhale." When Qi Su Niang took a deep breath, she turned over and dived underwater with her.
It took the two of them three times in a row to restore the mechanism, and the river never entered again. In the early spring, the river water was cold, Qi Su Niang's hands and feet were shivering with cold, but fortunately, Li Siqin had good water sex and a strong body, and it was effortless to take her with her, and she swam out of the organ room, and saw the Lian Dahe floating in the water.
When Lian Dahe saw the two of them, he was immediately overjoyed and shouted: "Second master, come here, the water has not yet entered the sluice." With that, he turned and swam towards the gates.
Li Siqin saw the movements in the water of the big river, frowned and shouted, "What are you doing while you are still soaking in the water when you are injured?" ”
When the two of them finally arrived at the shallow place and stood up from the water, Qi Su Niang's hands and feet were numb from the cold, and she couldn't stand steadily, and the sand had already been washed away by the water. Li Siqin hurriedly helped her and walked towards the gate, but before he entered the door, he heard a broken shout, "Second brother, don't let go yet!" But it was Lian Zhenyun's voice.
Li Siqin instantly withdrew his hand, Qi Su Niang sat back in the water with a tom, Li Siqin was startled, and reached out to help her, Lian Zhenyun hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "You go and change your wet clothes." Sweeping on all sides, "You all stand down." ”
And all the people withdrew, and only the great ship stood far away. Lian Zhenyun looked at the woman sitting in the water, and saw that she was soaking wet, and her thick brocade and leather skirt was soaked in water and weighed heavily on her body. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and she was already too cold. Lian Zhenyun immediately took two steps forward, and was about to bend down to pick her up from the water, but before he could stretch out his arm, he suddenly saw the woman's figure move, Lian Zhenyun froze, his hands clenched into fists to his side, and slowly straightened his waist, "Madam, can you still get up?" He turned his head and instructed the big boat, "Go and make a fire in the lock." ”
Qi Su Niang only felt that the heavy wet clothes on her body hung on her body like ice cubes, so cold that she shivered vigorously, struggled for a while, and got up from the water, Qi Su Niang held on to the wall, and forced to move step by step to the gate, the river wind blew, she only felt cold to the bones, dizzy and weak, and she had to stop when she couldn't take two steps. Lian Zhenyun neither opened his mouth nor reached out to help him, and stood silently to the side waiting. Although Qi Su Niang was dizzy and leaned against the wall, she couldn't help but sigh that Lian Zhenyun was not like an ordinary person. She is now taking every step with all her strength, if a person like Li Siqin is here, he will definitely come to help her.
As soon as the door of the sluice gate opened, a stream of hot air rushed up, and Lian Dahe, who was dripping with water on his body, had already built a big charcoal fire, and he saw Lian Zhenyun coming in, and hurriedly retreated with Lian Da boat.
Qi Su Niang was flushed by the heating of the charcoal fire, the cold on her body faded a lot, and she felt a little less dizzy in her mind, thinking about not letting Lian Zhenyun misunderstand that the project was flawed and not easy to use, so as to reduce her bargaining capital in the future, and couldn't help but say: "Big boss, it's just a trivial matter, the water recedes today, and the project can be completed tomorrow." ”
Even Zhenyun didn't look at her, pulled the chair in front of the brazier away, and asked her to sit down to keep warm, "Madam, you stay in the gate." I'll call someone out there to buy you some clothes. With that, he turned and opened the door. Qi Su Niang shook her head while twisting the water on her clothes: "Don't be so troublesome, the grass hall is not far away, and there is no reason for the concubine to change clothes here. After a pause, "If it is convenient for my sister-in-law, it is better to borrow clothes and put them on." ”
Lian Zhenyun paused, turned his back and whispered, "The grass people don't have a wife yet. ”
Qi Su Niang was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had either accepted a few concubines, or raised a concubine like Li Siqin, or went shopping with Qi Qiang, so naturally it was not good to ask more, "Big boss, then bother you to call the warm sedan chair to the front of the room." ”
Lian Dachuan and Lian Dahe lowered their heads and carried the warm sedan into the house, Lian Zhenyun handed Qi Su Niang a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, watched her drink it, summoned Lian Dahe to his side, and whispered: "Go to the county seat to buy some ......"
Qi Su Niang sniffed and got into the sedan chair. Fortunately, it was late, but two or three miles away, she hurriedly got off the sedan chair, and was about to enter the hospital, Lian Dahe whispered: "The little one is now going to the county town to buy some typhoid medicine, and I will put it in front of the door after a while, and Mrs. will take it by herself." ”
Qi Su Niang thanked her repeatedly, closed the door when she entered the hospital, and after going back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, she endured dizziness, took the medicine bag at the door, cooked a bowl of typhoid medicine and drank it, and went back to the house to fall asleep.
In the evening, Qi Su Niang still started to have a fever, Chen Yan hurriedly invited the doctor in the county to come over, and sure enough, he was cold, and he had to raise it for more than 20 days. Qi Su Niang knew that she could relive the old dream in this life, and it was not easy to preside over a project on the dam, all of which were tolerant by Chen Yan, who naturally knew how to converge, thinking that the dam project was almost the same, and she didn't need to go again, so she honestly lay at home to recuperate.
Chen Yan originally wanted to ask Wang Zhutou's mother-in-law to take care of one or two, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu heard the news of Mrs. Xiaoxiao in the county, not only sent ten boxes of medicinal materials, but also sent Lianxiang over to serve.
Although Lianxiang is a girl, she is loved by Mrs. Xu, and she is very particular about food and clothing, and she is decent. But she has a cautious and considerate temperament, takes care of Qi Su Niang without undressing, decoctions and porridge, and is extremely careful. Although Qi Su Niang refused to accept the gift again, she was grateful, and her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xu had been completely eliminated, and she loved Lianxiang's temperament, so she got better, and left her for more than ten days before sending it back. Lianxiang only loves Hangzhou Guan Yuhe's lotus powder, took two boxes, and went with a smile.
