Chapter 163: The Hidden River Bursts Its Banks & Precursors to Production

Although Nishihara has a rainy season that lasts for more than half a month around mid-October, it still rains heavily for six consecutive days, and there are still accidents.

The people had already taken precautions, and there was no one living by the embankment on the river bank for a long time, and they would stock up on rain gear and firewood early, but no one expected that the embankment would burst this time!

Most of the people of Xiyuan are merchants or farmers who form a team to travel to and from various places around Xiyuan to subsidize their families, so most of them live in the city, and no matter how poor they are, they are also in the surrounding villages, and the only embankment in Xiyuan is hundreds of miles away from the town.

The embankment blocked the Youhe River, which came from the high mountains in the southwest of Youxi, went all the way east, gradually diverted or even disappeared, and finally a large tributary joined the moat of Yuncheng.

But now, the embankment of the Youhe River has burst......

Li Xiang stood by the window, looked at the still continuous rain, and sighed.

There is no rain in the north, and there is even a drought for many years, but the rain in the west is overflowing, and it is about to become a disaster.

Hearing the sound of the rain hitting the umbrella, Li Xiang gathered the cloak on his body and left the window.

The two teacups on the table hadn't had time to be closed, and when I touched the teacups, the tea inside was still hot.

Thinking back to how Murong Jin, who seemed to be comfortable and leisurely with her a quarter of an hour ago, left in a hurry, Li Xiang felt more and more that Murong Jin might have bad luck, and there were waves of unsettled and wave after wave, and a lawsuit was waiting for him every day.

It's just that this time, God really wants to help her. She didn't even need to think about Murong Jin!

Thinking about it, someone has already entered the door.

"I've seen the kingβ€”"

"Excuse me." Li Xiang quietly put Murong Jin's cup back into the tea tray, took the cup again, and poured a cup of red bean tea for Fucha Wenyin.

Fucha Wenyin also knew some of the princess's temperament, and before she bowed down, she was like a good flow, consciously sat down, and saw a teacup in the tea tray at a glance that was being placed instead of being upside down, and her heart was clear, sure enough, His Royal Highness really walked away from Xianxian Courtyard.

"Drink tea." Li Xiang pushed the cup over and took a piece of pastry that Chunyu hadn't had time to remove.

Fucha Wenyin took a shallow bite as she said, but she didn't look like she wanted to explain her intentions, but she glanced at Li Xiang's stomach several times.

"Sister Wen, you don't come to Xianxian Courtyard much on weekdays, but you think of me today? Just in time, I'm bored! Li Xiang said with a smile, it is true that he does not come often, in other words, except for Xiao Mingyue, no one in the backyard will run to Xianxian Courtyard for no reason, and I don't know if it is her delusion, Li Xiang always feels that they are a little afraid of themselves.

Fucha Wenyin was still a little restrained in the end, smiled slightly, and hurriedly confessed: "I'm just afraid of disturbing the princess's tranquility, the concubine has a stupid mouth, and she feels unlikable. ”

Li Xiang pushed the pastry plate over, shook his head with a smile, "Sister Wen, don't be presumptuous!" ”

"Don't you dare to serve and send me, you have to keep Sister Wen in charge!"

"Try it, this is a new flavor made up by a few maids, if you like it, make more of it another day and send it to my sister to eat and try it."

Listening, Fucha Wenyin wanted to laugh a little, the princess is really generous, what this means is that at least she will be in charge of the family for a short time in the future, she has really never seen a housewife who is so generous that she even gives up the power of the house, and has repeatedly said that she has no intention of taking it back. I twisted a piece of pastry and tasted it, it was indeed new, but the taste was just average, and it was really new.

"It melts in the mouth, the fragrance is light, it is obviously a crisp cake, but it still has a bit of Qingtuan flavor, they have a heart." Fucha Wenyin praised it, it was raining heavily outside, and the faint grass smell inside this pastry was naturally hard to come by.

Li Xiang took this compliment, and before she could ask Fucha Wenyin what she was here for, she heard another sound outside, and then a "sister" floated in.

Needless to say, the person who came must be Xiao Mingyue......

As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Mingyue couldn't wait for the maid to wipe the rain on her body, so she grabbed a thick handkerchief and wiped it casually and came in.

"Sister Wen is also here! I've seen my sister. Xiao Mingyue came in and saw Fucha Wenyin, and then hurriedly bowed and came over.

"Sister, this rain is so heavy, listen to the housekeeper, this rain will be more than half a month, wet, really annoying!" Xiao Mingyue touched her hair bun, and wiped the little rain on it with a handkerchief, and her face was full of displeasure.

"It's annoying, it's annoying, it's going to be many years in the future, so it's easy to get used to it." Li Xiang couldn't help but smile and handed the handkerchief over.

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she sighed lamentingly, and when she raised her head, there were two handkerchiefs in front of her, and she was happy again, she took both of them, and thanked them one by one.

Fucha Wenyin has a younger sister, and the sixth sister of a mother's sibling is also like this, happy and angry, lively and a little naughty, every time she sees Xiao Mingyue, she will think of the sixth sister, in a big family, such a fresh person is also rare, and she unconsciously brings a little smile.

Chu Chu wiped the raindrops on his body, Xiao Mingyue took the dehumidified red bean tea, drank most of it in one gulp, frowned as soon as he entered it, and swallowed it silently after a while.

"Sister, what kind of tea is this?" Xiao Mingyue put down the cup, said with a bitter face.

"It's red bean tea, it doesn't taste very good, make do with it and drink some, otherwise, make another pot of tea?" Li Xiang himself also thinks that this taste is not very good, but it can reduce edema.

Xiao Mingyue shook her head, "It's not necessary, in fact, the taste is not unpleasant......

Silently glanced at the teapot and swallowed her saliva, Xiao Mingyue added tea to herself, tasted it tentatively, squinted one eye, as if she was testing poison.

Li Xiang looked at Xiao Mingyue and felt uncomfortable, laughed, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not too unbearable, he let out a long breath, and stopped again and again, "If you don't like it, don't drink it, just add another pot immediately, don't force yourself so much, it's just a pot of tea......"

"Lixia, make another pot of tea, use Longjing tea."

Xiao Mingyue scratched her head, refusing to give up, she had to finish drinking, her face was wrinkled, she put down the cup heavily, and sighed, "Sister, this tea, in fact, ...... It doesn't seem to be hard to drink......"

"It's not hard to drink, and you don't need to drink a few more cups, no, this tea is made for me, if you don't like it, change a pot, what are you doing with a pot of tea?" Li Xiang didn't understand her, so he added tea to himself.

"I just want to taste it, sister, this tea-"

"Wait......" Li Xiang held his waist with one hand, raised his other hand, slowly eased his breath, and then grabbed Fucha Wenyin's hand and said, "Sister Wen, I seem to be about to give birth to ......"
