The rain is really strange, it is obviously a thundershower, the wind is thundering with lightning, and the heavy rain is pouring down, but it doesn't stop, until the next day it is still like that, and the uproar is endless. It's cool, but it's cool, and the small flower pond in the yard of the back house is about to end, and several jasmine plants planted at the beginning of the year have been beaten around, and they can't survive.

"Husband! Come back! Ying saw me jumping into the rain regardless of life or death, and shouted loudly to the maid: "Don't follow with an umbrella yet!" Going to die? ”

Before the maid came out with an umbrella, I pinched the dying jasmine and rushed back, "It's a pity, it's all blooming, find a pot!" ”

Ying snatched the flowers, and slammed her backhand to the top of the corridor, "Death is dead, what else can you save?" ** Quickly change clothes, it will be troublesome if you catch a cold. "Come up, pull me by the shirt, and leave.

"Maybe you can still live, what are you doing when you throw it away?" It was rescued only after the soup chicken was put together, and he went to the house again, and he didn't respect the fruits of other people's labor at all. "I also expect to collect some flowers and bones to make tea."

"What if you don't throw it away? Who is going to dig for you in such a heavy rain? Ying stripped me naked in three or five strokes, covered me with a big blanket, and climbed on the box to find clean clothes: "My body was weak, and I had a problem in the rain so how can I live with my concubine and my second daughter?" Think about it before you go crazy next time! ”

"What's the big deal, can you die in the rain? Fuss. "I don't care about taking a blanket and rubbing it on my body," What about the second daughter? Just before I was in front of me, where did I go? ”

"Don't worry, you can't get her! With the fourth child. "Ying threw a bunch of clothes out, straightened me, and put them on me one by one," the concubine told them to go to the warehouse to divide some food. Seeing that the rain will have to fall for another day, it is inevitable that there will be people in Zhuangzi who have suffered from disasters, and as soon as the rain stops, they will have to repair their houses. The food eaten by the craftsmen who repair the house is fifty percent of the food eaten by our family. If the disaster is severe, you will have to borrow the annual rations, so you have to prepare them first. ”

Yesterday the rain fell quickly, and my sister-in-law was blocked before she had time to go home, so she had to go to my house to live temporarily, and slept in the original main room with her second daughter. Ying hasn't been alone with me for a long time, and last night the two of them were mixed up for half a night. Get up early as a swallow and be in good spirits.

Also, I see that most of the houses in the village are adobe houses, and it is not surprising that they collapsed in such heavy rain. Tenant farmers are also regarded as regular employees of the Wang family, although there are no welfare, labor insurance, medical subsidies or anything in this era, but they can't stand by while watching the suffering of the workers' families. "What about people who have real estate? Who cares if the house collapses? ”

"It has nothing to do with our family, go to the government." Ying pulled down her belt vigorously. Tie it tightly, "Just stay under the eaves, and then jump in the rain and pick up the second daughter, hehe." ”

"Hey, Madame laughed again." I moved my circle chair and rested it on the door. He sighed: "It's the first time I've seen such a big thundershower, and it's rained all night, so I have to appreciate it." ”

"The next three nights are not surprised, the concubine still remembers when she was a child. It's been about seven years, and it's been raining for more than four days. The Wei River flooded and flooded an unknown number of people. Ying held on to the door frame and looked out worriedly, "Although the water does not rise here, it is not easy to go down for a long time." God bless, I just hope that this rain will pass soon, and everyone will live in peace. ”

Oh, yes. With such a heavy rain, if it rains for a few more days, the watermelons in the Lanling Garden will not be soaked? Thinking of this, I can't help but worry too, and I really want to go over and say hello.

God pretended not to hear Ying's prayers, and the rain was still heavy. This large area near Wangjia Zhuangzi is originally lower than Chang'an, and it is most prone to water accumulation. On the third day. There have been a number of landslides in Zhuangzi. There was no way to rescue the affected farmers in the heavy rain, so they could only be relocated to the large hall of the Wang family ancestral hall first.

"It's not the way to go." Ying looked at the torrential rain that was still raging outside, with a worried face, "Three have already collapsed, and I listen to the reports of the next people, and a few of them can't hold on." The Fenghe River is so noisy that the irrigation canals that were originally drawn from the Fenghe River will all rise out, and the water will enter the Zhuangzi if the rain does not stop. ”

"I'll take a look!" The safety of the thousands of people in the Wang family's Zhuangzi will all be tied to me, the head of the family, and I will have no face to be a master if I don't care about it. "You and your second daughter stay at home, don't run around, don't scream ** heart!" Afraid of Ying blocking me, my face was serious, and my tone was much harsher.

"Yes!" Ying nodded, "Husband, just go, there is me and the second daughter at home to greet you, and you can't get out of trouble." "Turned around and instructed the second daughter to take the rain gear and put it on for me, "Some villagers are reluctant to come out when the house collapses, call a few more people to follow, don't be soft when you encounter this situation, drag it outward, and beat if you don't obey!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, ma'am." Ying is a reasonable wife, she looks at the small things, and the big things are absolutely stable, without the disgusting appearance of the children, and she is a great housekeeper. Dressed properly, patted the children's heads, shouted at the vestibule to gather the people, and selected a dozen or so strong retinues.

I didn't let the money housekeeper go, I was afraid that I couldn't get wet in the rain when I was old, who knew that the old man was the first to wear a coat and hat, inserted a short knife in his waist, and stood beside me with a long stick. As he spoke, he patted the handle of the knife, and someone butchered the posture.

The dirt road outside has been soaked in rainwater, and I can't pull it out for a long time after stepping on it, and I have to die of hard walking. The canal in the middle of the Zhuangzi has already shown signs of overflowing, and the low-lying area is a vast ocean, and many farmers have begun to pile up sand and soil in front of their houses to block the backflow of water.

"Who's this?" I pointed to the collapsed house, which was lonely with half of the main wall and a few logs, and the yard was full of rubble and mud. ”

"Liu Gou's house, everything is settled, the mother-in-law and the two babies smashed their heads, it's not a big deal." The housekeeper pointed to the side, "The house here was built early, for decades, and the Wang Shun family is afraid that it won't be able to last." ”

I went door-to-door to see it, not to mention Wang Shun's family, according to my local standards, I am afraid that this even seventeen families are dangerous. The water outside was full of calves, and the men, women, and children in the courtyard all brought pots and pans to the outside to fetch water. Usually this method may be useful, but now even the canal outside the door is full, how can you get it.

"Go, just this piece, door-to-door notice, all move out, while the water is still not big. You can move as many valuable things as you can. "I was anxious to see it, and if the water rose a little more, there would be no way, and there would be no landslide.

"Little Hou Ye, our family can't be accommodated, there are too many people." The butler wiped his face and sneezed, "At most, ten more people will enter the ancestral hall, and there will be several families inside." ”

"Is the family successful? Many of the yards were empty. Make do with it first. "There are more free courtyards in front of and behind the palace, and there is no problem in accommodating more than 100 people.

"No!" The housekeeper refused my request for the first time, and said firmly: "Blame the old man for being rude, I know that the little marquis is kind-hearted, but we have never set this precedent in our family." Once this opening is opened, all the small disasters and disasters in the future will be squeezed into the house, and they will not be able to contain it. ”

"Well, don't blame it, what Uncle Qian said is reasonable. Go and get them to pack their things now. I'm going to talk about it now in the paper workshop, it's big, there's a place. "I think of the huge operation room of the papermaking workshop, half of the court is about the same, and there is no problem for the 100th person to sleep in it." You two go with me to the workshop, and the rest will help persuade people. "You can't take too many people away, and now when it's time to die, there are many ways to persuade people. More people are more effective.

The paper-making workshop was originally selected on the wasteland where the terrain was high and there was no production, and the surrounding craftsman dormitory was also built by Lanling with a lot of money. Except for a few big heads, the people who are low have no impression of me, a shareholder who is side by side, and they are in a hurry, and they don't bring waist cards. He was blocked from the door.

"Lao Tzu is Wang Xiu Wang Zihao! The majority shareholder of the workshop! "I wanted to go in and talk to the big treasurer. I didn't expect to explain to the doorkeeper for a long time without any effect, so I hurriedly reported the door and started scolding. It seems that he is a subordinate of Lanling.

The doorman politely asked me to wait, went in to report, and took advantage of the time I ordered a subordinate to go to the house to pick up the shopkeeper Hu, and many people were easy to talk, so as not to let the female shopkeeper show off her might.

"Discontinued? No way! There are five and six people in the female shopkeeper, and her tone does not mean to give in at all, "The princess does not speak, there is no room for negotiation!" ”

What kind of thing, took my salary, ran to call me out, turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Go, let the housekeeper and Mr. Hu breathe, the strong men on the Zhuangzi are all pulled over for me, we don't want the workshop, demolish!" "It just so happens that the two of them are used." Playing horizontally, on this one-third of an acre of land, this marquis has the final say! Lao Tzu doesn't dismantle much, just half, and the other half will be left for your princess! ”

The subordinate shouted and took the order, and the cooperation was good.

"Ahh The female shopkeeper didn't expect me to play this trick, her face twitched, and she said hurriedly: "You are unreasonable!" ”

"I reasoned with you, but you didn't listen. Human life is at stake, either stop production quickly, or I will dismantle half of mine in a while, you choose, there is not much time. "I broke my hand joints hard, trying to create an underworld atmosphere, failed, and my hands didn't make a sound," but all the people who came after a while were the chaotic people who suffered from the disaster, not to mention the workshop, you, the eldest girl's family is estimated to be incompatible. ”

The female shopkeeper's face turned blue when she heard my words, but she still bit her mouth and didn't let go, and asked someone to report to the official and send a letter to Lanling.

"It's useless to call the official, it's purely to make trouble for yourself. Hurry up and clean up, you need a dry workshop, and you can lock it tightly elsewhere, and you should look at it. "I can't wait for Lanling to reply, and if I delay any longer, I will have to die," Don't let you be implicated, the loss of production suspension is out of the Wang family, while we can still talk at this time, you hurry up and get ready, don't do it for a while, it's hard to see." Not yet! ”

While talking, Hu Ledger came in a hurry, and when he saw that I was determined to occupy the factory, he could only help me talk and persuade the female shopkeeper. Seeing that things could not be done, the female shopkeeper reluctantly agreed to the request and ran to Zhang Luo.

"I just met the money housekeeper, so I stopped the matter of finding a strong man first, and tried to solve it privately. Don't blame the little marquis. Hu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and reported in a low voice.

"What to blame, it scared her in the first place. Otherwise, why don't you talk to Uncle Qian? After speaking, he laughed with the two thieves in the Hu account, "It's good, Mingli has the prestige to kill her, and he will jump a few times." I'll leave it to Mr. here, and I'll hurry back to Zhuangzi, which is still very numb. "I'm not worried that Lan Ling has an opinion, in comparison, Lan Ling is much more reasonable than this female shopkeeper.

Sure enough, the martial arts incident has already happened. Several farmers cried miserably, their wives and children hugged each other, and several strong men scolded with fierce faces. There is more and more water in each yard, and the ducks are swimming refreshingly.

"I can move the things in the house," I turned back and instructed the steward, "call more people, and the big animals will be raised first, and the chickens and ducks will be bought at a high price." People forcibly pulled me to the paper workshop to listen to Mr. Hu's arrangement! "I see that several houses are crumbling, and I really can't enter the house anymore," Go, you took a lot of wood and stabbed the house down, and stopped these people from guarding the house! He shouted with all his might: "Today, all the people who knocked down the house, the rain stopped, the Wang family paid for you to rebuild, and now they all go to the paper workshop to resettle, and those who are disobedient will ......" I searched around for a long time. Someone brought a dead chicken and pointed it: "This is what the disobedient do!" ”

Listening to my shouting, the farmers no longer insisted, and pushed some things that they thought were valuable to the paper workshop. "Call out all the people who are in danger, and persuade them according to what I have just said. Just scare and use as little force as possible. When you hit, you greet the thick meat, and you are a little measured. "I found that two people limped when they left, and their hands were too heavy.

The housekeeper explained: "The old man has explained. Didn't mess around. That cripple just now was born and has nothing to do with us. Pointing to the side of the guide, he shook his head and sighed: "There are still five or six families that have to be resettled, and another one has just collapsed, and the two old people have not been rescued." ”

"As soon as possible, there will be no more deaths." What I don't want to see finally happened, they are all hard-working and simple people who have worked for the Wang family for many years, and they are still alive. Not now. I have to be responsible, why didn't I think of it, I had to wait for the rain to fall for a few days before it came out, "The family paid for the aftermath of the accident, and all the houses that didn't fall to the ground were stabbed." Uncle Qian, when the rain stops, count the losses of the farmers, and those who can be compensated will be paid by the family, and no one will be allowed to fight famine. There are also those who take refuge in workshops and ancestral halls. Meals and bedding are prepared. If you get sick, you can cure it quickly, and you are not stingy. ”

"Yes. The old man understood. "Got me a chair to sit down under the big archway." Little Marquis, you are in charge here, and the old man will take care of the rest. "Steward Qian changed his old style, commanded the front and back of the village in the heavy rain, checked the safety of the house one by one, and brought all the livestock that could not be taken care of home to raise. It was not until after noon that I barely put it to a standstill, and all the people who came with me rolled into mud, and none of them shouted that they were hungry.

"Mutton soup to ward off the cold, husband take a few sips." When I came back, I found that Ying had already cooked a large pot of mutton in the kitchen to entertain everyone in the disaster relief area, peeled a few cloves of garlic and handed them to me. "Just eat garlic, spicy sweat."

"It's still late today, and two lives are gone." Ying is usually most afraid of the taste of mutton, and usually the kitchen doesn't do this much, so it seems that she has made a big decision. "You can't get used to this, get out of here."

"The husband has done his best, and it is inevitable that something will happen in such a heavy rain, but I am afraid that it will be much better than other Zhuangzi." Ying took a cake and helped me break it into the soup, "I usually don't smell it, but today I think it smells good, and the concubine has eaten it, so she is waiting in front of me." ”

As soon as I ate a few bites indiscriminately, the maid reported that the eldest lady of the Yun family brought her two younger brothers to the door.

"I'm afraid that her Yun family can't stand it." Ying sorted out the mirror, "Her house is lower than ours, and there is no workshop to evacuate, so the concubine will see what she says." ”

"Let's go together, you put away the idea of seizing the land first." Now it's a difficult time, I'm afraid that Ying will stand on the side of the wind and take profits, "I'll go up and answer in a while, you don't say anything." ”

"What kind of person is a concubine, hehe." Ying smiled and poked me on the waist a few times, "I understand, I won't intervene today." ”

As always, kowtow first when we meet, and thank me for fighting the fire first.

"Hurry up," I dragged the two children over first, the three sisters and brothers were drenched, this rain is not covered by the coat and hat, and said straight to the point: "If you have anything to say, the Wang family will never shirk if you can help. ”

Miss Yun hurriedly saluted Ying again, "Thank you, Madame, for remembering." The little woman is young and doesn't do anything more, and she has repeatedly rejected Mrs. Kindness, you have a lot of adults, don't take it to heart. As he spoke, he knelt between me and Ying again, "Today is not for the Yun family, I just ask the little marquis and his wife to help the Yun family Zhuangzi on the ground tenants, the little woman is incompetent, she is really desperate." He cried as he spoke.

Ying stepped forward and couldn't pull it up, so she hurriedly beckoned and ran to see the lively second daughter, and the two of them held Yun Ya's head, "Hurry up and sit down and say." What a disaster this day! Just now my husband came back from Zhuangzi," with a sad face, he complained: "My sister doesn't know, my Zhuangzi has been flooded, more than a dozen houses have collapsed, and people have died, and I am panicking and have no idea." Raising his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, tears rolling out of his eyes.

Ying forgot about herself, she just peeled garlic for me, and she dared to rub her eyes, she couldn't stand it, right? Let the second daughter twist the wet handkerchief and quickly wipe it, don't spoil your eyes.

"The little girl understands the difficulties of the Wang family, and she shouldn't be cheeky and embarrassed, but only the little marquis and his wife have the ability to rescue the tenants on the Zhuangzi," she said, touching a small box from her arms and opening it, "This is the title deed of the Yun family, you accept it." In the future, the Yun family Zhuangzi will change his surname to Wang, and the tenant farmers in the Zhuangzi are also members of your family, so save them with grace! ”
