The Qing people have not yet left the city of Tianjin, and the alarm of the flood has come from the Yellow River. Several provinces in the lower reaches of the Yellow River are extremely cold this winter, and the river surface has not yet been unsealed, and the river water that has been dissolved in the upper reaches is mixed with a large amount of ice and rushed downstream, blocking the river channels in Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, and causing major floods and counties along the river in the three provinces.

The big water, which had nowhere to enter the sea, once again rushed north out of the old course of the Yellow River, along more than ten small rivers, and rushed into Zhili Province. Although Tianjin Wei has not yet entered the waves, the victims of Shanxi in the west, Shandong and Henan in the south, and the border of Zhili Province have flocked to Tianjin Wei, fearing that there will not be millions of people.

Qi Suniang was sad for the victims on the one hand, and worried about Chen Yan who was still opening ice on the edge of the Yellow River.

"Grandma, I heard that the ice gushing down from the upper reaches of the Yellow River blocked the river, and it was so urgent that the flood flooded out of the river for hundreds of miles at once, and the drowned ones were not counted, and the frozen ones were countless...... Bi'er's face was gloomy, "There are thirty porridge factories in Tianjin, but they can't supply ......"

Qi Su Niang was speechless for a long time, "The silver was sent over?" ”

"It's been sent to the yamen, and I didn't say anything about the adult's name. There are a lot of gentry in Zhili City who donate silver and soup porridge, but there are not many, and the Cha family is the most, only 2,000 taels...... How many times is their family's wealth compared to ours? Pour a number of ...... with grandma's donation"

Qi Su Niang sighed, "No wonder your grandfather was busy making a new river map every day after Zhili, the Yellow River disaster broke out, and the affected people were afraid that they were all over Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi provinces. Looking up at Bi'er, "Let's donate some more, donate in my name, and the official daughters in Tianjin will always donate some."

sighed, "After Miss Cha got married, she went to Beijing with her uncle, if she was there, she might be able to donate some." ”

Half a month after the ice flood, it gradually receded, but the victims in the heavenly city did not return to their hometowns. It was cold and freezing, and when I went home, I starved to death in the soup kitchen in Tianjin to save my life.

Qi Su Niang continued, Chen Yan had already entered the city and hurriedly asked someone to prepare lunch, but he waited until the sun set and the lamp came before Chen Yan went home.

Qi Su Niang saw that his face was heavy. Silent for a long time. Eating is also absent-minded. Carefully asked: "...... ice disaster in the lower reaches of the Yellow River?"

Chen Yan was distracted. I didn't see Qi Su Niang speak at all. Qi Su Niang was taken aback. She and Chen Yan have known each other for all these years. Only when they got along in the Jiangning courtyard, they once turned a deaf ear to her words. Since the fight in Texas after getting married. Chen Yan is again attentive in official affairs such as river governance, water transportation, and civil affairs. I never missed a word from her.

Qi Su Niang was worried. Half of my mind is thinking. I was about to speak. Chen Yan dropped the dishes and chopsticks and stood up. Hurried out of the hall and into the study. He turned out a self-made map of the Yellow River. Go to the window. Look out the window at the sunset.

Qi Su Niang walked into the study with two bright five-pillar candlesticks. Place one on your desk. Holding the other one, he walked to Chen Yan's side. Illuminate the source map of the earth and river on the sheepskin and green silk for him. When he got used to the light, he quietly walked half a step and half a step. used the candlestick to slowly lead Chen Yan to the desk.

Qi Su Niang put down the candlestick. Standing behind Chen Yan and peeking in. Chen Yandi's finger was pointing to the Lingxun lot of the river patrol. Qi Su Niang bit her lip slightly, knowing that he must be worried about Huang You's downstream, the ice is blocked and the water is blocked. Chen Yandi's fingers followed the mouth of the Yellow River all the way up. Crossing Shandong through Henan. He entered Ningxia and Inner Mongolia and went north to trace the source. It is the land under the jurisdiction of the North River Governor.

Chen Yan repeatedly proofread the source map of the Yellow River in the old system under the lamp. Qi Su Niang sat across from the desk. Shoes are made by the light of two candlesticks.

From Yongding River to Gaojiayan, from Yangzhou to Tianjin, along the way, Chen Yan's shoes are always made by herself. Hit ~, twist the twine, cut the upper sole, and then if the shoes, Xuan shoes, on the upper of the same color lotus branch pattern.

Although I often make clothes, I always feel that I am not as careful as making shoes. Each one was sewn strongly, and each one was embroidered with lotus branches on the hem, just because she only wrapped this one pattern? Yes, but no. The Yellow River rushes and goes eastward endlessly, thousands of miles away, rugged and dangerous.

Qi Su Niang looked at the red candle that was about to burn out and the sun rising outside the window, clenched the shoes in her hand, closed her eyes, and wished Chen Niangzi the blessing of the spirit of heaven......

The sun rises and sets, sets and rises, and the days pass.

Chen Yan handed over the remake of the Heyuan map again and again, although Kangxi refuted it with Zhu a few times, Chen Yan still looked for various reasons to play, and was finally summoned into the capital by Kangxi.

Qi Su Niang was full of worries and followed Chen Yan into the capital. After entering Chaoyangmen, Chen Yan did not call him into Qi Mansion, but directly ordered someone to go to the capital to check the Mansion.

Liu Heting, the lord of the capital Chafu, picked up Chen Yan at the gate early. Qi Su Niang followed Miss Cha into the back house, and listened to Miss Cha smile and said: "You and Lord Chen just live in our house, our house is different from other places, all of you lords and subordinates appreciate faces, they are the emperor's cronies, and we can also give a few faces." Besides, our two families have relatives who talk about it. Lord Chen lives here, and no one else will say a word. ”

Qi Su Niang was secretly surprised that there were many ways to go in the house, and a young man like Liu Heting could eat well in the capital, but she also understood that Chen Yan also wanted to reassure the emperor at this time. Qi Su Niang thought of this, but she smiled bitterly, the emperor asked Chen Yan to guard the Tianjin guard, but he wanted to go to the source of the Yellow River, the emperor is the emperor after all......

In the Zixiang Zhai in Chafu, Qi Su Niang changed into an official uniform for Chen Yan and handed over an official hat. Chen Yan glanced at Qi Sunu, as if she was about to leave, but she stood in front of her and did not move.

Qi Su Niang looked at Chen Yan and didn't say anything for a long time.

There was silence in the inner room, except for the sound of the two of them breathing together.

Chen Yan's face was full of hesitation, he stretched out his hand,

The mother hugged her into her arms. Qi Su Niang listened to Chen Yan's heartbeat, and said softly, Mr. Beihehe, you can't just watch and be silent, you can talk to the emperor. ”

"I have thought of a method, I plan to present it to the emperor, not only to make a map of the source of the river, but also to continue to harass Tibet by Tsewang Abutan of the Jung'er Department, and now I am prepared to explore the fine topography of the source of the Yellow River." Chen Yan said slowly: "Don't worry, the emperor will approve it." ”

Qi Su Niang nodded, "Let's go." ”

The morning rooster crowed, and the red candles of the palace lights of the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion quietly burned out. The flower hall has been replaced with a whole set of carved dragon inlaid marble iron wood furniture, in the early spring under the cold sun, a layer of tired color. But because it is the finest iron wood, there is a layer of deep-rooted hardness in that layer of exhaustion.

Because he didn't sleep all night, the original rough contours of Brother Shi's face were a little soft, and the suddenness was broken by his round eyes, "Chen Bianzhi's request to revisit the source of the Yellow River?!" He jumped up from his chair, "Who is the new Governor of Beihe?!" The Governor of the East River is already one of ours—"

The eighth master's eyes were still smiling, but he was also a little tired, "What time is it?" The prince is tossing and dealing with it day by day, and the emperor is better? The emperor has not been confused like this, and let the position of the governor of Beihe be exchanged. Although the disasters in Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Ningxia were extremely serious, he didn't want Chen to go. Chen Bianzhi - looks like an old and serious pure minister, but in fact, he is still a stunned young man who can only govern the river. ”

"When it was time for him to control the river, he threw them all aside. I heard that he talked back to the emperor in the upper study, and the emperor was so angry that he threw the bowl. The ninth master laughed, "Because the jade bowl is filled with almond cakes sent by the queen mother, the emperor has to go to Cining Palace to ask for guilt on the second day." This time, the Queen Mother's Halloween Festival must be even more large. ”

Brother Ten hurriedly urged: "Who is the new governor-"

"It's still him!" Jiu Ye threw the black bone fan in his hand to the coffee table, took a sip of Longjing tea, and woke up with the cold bitter taste, "The emperor hasn't found someone who can replace him." Only let Tongzhou Daotai Li Mingming temporarily belong to the Beihe River Affairs. I still remember that the Cha family relied on him to help him become the general merchant of Changlu, and now I heard that he has also become a family of children. "Look at the fourteenth elder brother" It seems that he is also related to your minions. ”

Seven or eight girls walked in with hot meals in their hands, and made breakfast on the table of the Eight Immortals of Temuli. The fourteenth elder brother waited for them to retreat, stood up straight, stretched his waist, yawned and sat down at the table of the eight immortals, and said nonchalantly: "It's just that what kind of kiss does the godmother have to get married and worshipped?" ”

Brother Jiu shook his head, "Didn't you see a few families approaching?" The eldest son-in-law of the Cha family moved his family into Beijing and bought a new mansion in Hutou Hutong, Xizhimen Street, and Li Zhizhi and Chen Bian, and his majesty in Beijing all lived in his house. When Chen Changzhi sets off for Beijing today, I'm afraid your slave will have to move into the Qi Mansion in the next few days. ”

The long pavilion on the outskirts of the capital is red and twilight.

Chen Yan looked at the silent Qi Su Niang and passed the bag of shoes she handed over. The black cloth shoes are embroidered with blue thread with the familiar lotus branch pattern, which has not changed for more than ten years.

"Half a year soon, October at the latest, I'll go early and come back early." Chen Yan slowly held Qi Su Niang's hand and said softly, "This time I have lost my sacred heart. When I come back, I will resign to the emperor and take you back to Gaoyou's hometown, so as not to obstruct his eyes in front of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely approve it. ”

Qi Su Niang was shocked and happy in her heart, and looked up at Chen Yan, "Brother Chen, won't the emperor blame you?" ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly, and looked at the officials waiting in the distance outside the pavilion, in addition to the officials and lamas of the Li Fan Yuan and the Qin Tianjian, the general Zhao and his own soldiers who followed, as well as He Tuhua and Ne Dingsu.

"The emperor still attaches great importance to the Manchu and Mongolian people, but because there is no one available, Fang reuses the Han people on the river. He Tuhua followed me to explore the source, although it was hard, but after a year, I must have understood everything I could teach, more than I went to school in the palace and Hecao. At that time, the emperor will not need me. Chen Yan gathered his cloak for Qi Su Niang, "He Tuhua is a person who governs the river with his heart, and he is from a noble background, I have been waiting for him to be proficient in affairs, and if there are people on the river, I can also resign with confidence." ”

Qi Su Niang heard that Chen Yan had already planned carefully, and planned to resign and return to her hometown, the joy in her heart surged out in waves, and a pair of eyes smiled into moon buds, "Brother Chen, don't worry." When you leave, I will stay in my brother's house every day, and I will not go out for half a step, just waiting for you to come back. After returning to Gaoyou, I live carefully every day, and I won't cause trouble, we don't have to be officials, and we can live in peace. After thinking about it, he hurriedly said, "I'm in the capital, let my brother find a good doctor for me, I will take whatever medicine he asks me to take, I will take my body well, and I will conceive a child as soon as possible-" As he spoke, his face was already red, but he still couldn't stop talking, "When the time comes, if you want to give birth to a few, I can give birth to a few-"

Chen Yan looked at Qi Su Niang with a smile, "After I come back, when I arrange everything properly, I will resign." Let's go to live in the fan alley of Gaoyou City, and go to live in my hometown when we sow seeds and harvest. If you want to give birth, if you don't like to have children, let's pass one to Brother Qi Qiang, and he will definitely give birth one after another in his house——"

Qi Su Niang giggled, and was already speechless with joy.

Chen Yan slowly bent down and stretched out his hands to caress her face, "You wait for me to come back." ”
