Chapter 181: The Great Drought
Jiang Dige nodded, "It's my master, and I can't write such a recipe with my current talents." ”
Hearing this, Sun Gongshi looked at Jiang Dage with a touch of admiration in his eyes. If this is a change to someone else, it is natural to take the credit on yourself.
But Jiang Dige is not like this, she is not only kind-hearted, but also upright.
After the two finalized the matter of herbal tea, Jiang Dige left the Sun family. Before leaving, Sun Gongshi insisted on sending her, and Jiang Dige could only let it.
For this send-off, Sun Gongshi sent Jiang Tuge to the entrance of the village.
"Sun Gongshi, don't send it. Be sure to keep an eye on your bones, especially in this weather. Jiang Tuge said out loud.
Sun Gongshi nodded, "Since that's the case, then the old man won't send it anymore." Jiang Niangzi, Yan Le is here with me, you can rest assured! ”
"This kid is smart and tight, he will definitely succeed in this year's imperial examination."
Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed in Jiang Tuge's eyes. She hurriedly thanked Sun Gongshi, "In this way, I thanked Sun Gongshi." ”
"Where, where, this kid is a seedling of reading. If it weren't for Mrs. Jiang, I'm afraid I would have missed such a good student. ”
"In our place, there are not many people who can be admitted to Xiucai. If I hadn't looked away, Yan Le, this kid, would definitely be the first one of us to be admitted to Xiucai. ”
Scholar? Jiang Dige just thought that Yan Le could be admitted to Tongsheng, but he didn't dare to think about it.
In this way, she didn't help the wrong person in the first place. What Liu Feng and West Wind are nothing compared to Yan Le.
After Jiang Dige thanked Sun Gongshi again, he walked in the direction of Yunzhuang.
Jiang Dige walked very slowly this way, Rao is that she has already drunk herbal tea this morning, and this climbing mountain is also a physically demanding job.
She finally climbed to the top of the hill and found a pergola to rest there. Just as she was cooling off the hat in her hand, her eyes were attracted by the scene down the mountain.
Jiang Dige tightened his eyes and walked towards the other side, and sure enough, the scene on both sides was not much different. It should have been a green field, but now it reveals a hint of yellow.
There was a hint of worry in her eyes, this is a dry land with a lack of water, and she is only afraid of it in the long run......... Jiang Dige sighed and decided to talk to Li Guanshi about it after he went back.
On the way back, Jiang Dige passed by the Yan family. When Jiang Dige told Yan Shu the news she got at Sun's house today, she burst into tears.
"Sister-in-law Jiang, Yan Le didn't embarrass my father and mother, nor did he embarrass you. If he hits this time, even if I die now, I will see my father and mother. ”
Jiang Dige was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What nonsense, Yan Le's future will be successful, and you are just the time to live a good life." ”
"What's more, your father and mother are blessed by heaven for the two of you!"
Yan Shu wiped the tears on his face and said with a smile, "What Sister-in-law Jiang said is that my father and mother blessed us, so I met such a good person as Sister-in-law Jiang." ”
The two sat down and talked for a while, Jiang Dige looked at Yan Shu's embroidery in the past few days, and then got up and left Yan's house.
Yan Shu sent Jiang Dige outside the door, looked up at the sky, and said, "I don't know what's going on lately, it's been a few days since it rained." ”
Jiang Dige frowned slightly, "Yan Shu, it's been a long time." ”
"Hmm...... It's been about half a month! If this continues, I am afraid that there will be a great drought. When the time comes...... Well, the price of this grain is going to go up. I'm afraid that many people will starve to death! Yan Shumei's eyes revealed helplessness.
Jiang Dige nodded, what Yan Shu said was not groundless. Once that time comes, not only these villages, but even the whole of Lingnan will be in trouble.
"Sister-in-law Jiang, what are you thinking!" Yan Shu watched Jiang Dige fall into deep thought, and couldn't help but ask.
"No... It's nothing! Jiang Dige smiled lightly, and then said, "Yan Shu, you should go back quickly!" I just saw that your double-sided embroidery has not been finished, if it is because I have delayed the progress, it is not mine. ”
When Yan Shu heard this, he remembered the needlework in the house, "Look at my brain, I only care about talking to you." Sister-in-law Jiang, you should also go back and rest for a while! ”
Looking at Yan Shu's departing back, Jiang Dige fell into deep thought. It seemed that the matter of going to Steward Li could not be delayed, and she turned around and walked in the direction of Steward Li's house.
Along the way, Jiang Tuge thought of countless possibilities. Either way, the result is unacceptable.
She knocked on the door of Steward Li's house, and when she saw that it was Jiang Dige, she hurriedly beckoned her into the door, "Si family, why are you here today." ”
Jiang Dige smiled and said a few words to the housekeeper's lady, although she and Mrs. Zhang are sisters, but the two of them act very differently.
"Auntie, is Steward Li at home?" Jiang Dige didn't plan to beat around the bush, it was really boring.
The lady in charge nodded, poured a glass of water for Jiang Tuge, and went into the house to call Steward Li.
After a while, Steward Li walked out with a smile, "Jiang, is there something wrong with coming here today?" ”
"Hmm!" Jiang Dige nodded, and then said, "I did have something to do with you today, it hasn't rained for more than half a month." ”
"And the weather is very hot now, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be a big drought. ”
Great drought!
Steward Li and the steward's lady looked at each other, and then his face became gloomy, and his voice was very cold, and he said, "Jiang, you can't talk nonsense like this. ”
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Jiang Dige didn't care what kind of tone Steward Li was, she was here to get down to business.
The housekeeper's lady stood aside and coughed lightly, and then Steward Li realized that his emotions were a little out of control just now, and he slowly sat down and said, "Jiang, I know you are kind to remind you." ”
"But if you let others listen to such words, you can't bear the consequences for fear of it!"
Jiang Dige nodded and said, "Manager Li, I know what you said just now. So I didn't tell anyone about it, but came directly to you. ”
"That's good, that's good!" Steward Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Dige's face was very serious at this time, "Steward Li, you are busy worshipping your ancestors these days, I'm afraid you haven't been to the field to see it for a while!" ”
Steward Li was stunned for a moment, "That's true, what happened in the field made you have such an idea." ”
"It's not for me to say anything, but if you have time, you can go and look in the field. Not only here, but even in the next village, the top of the wheat has turned yellow. ”
"I'm afraid that if this continues, within half a month, this year's harvest will become difficult." What Jiang Dige said was very true.
After hearing this, Steward Li felt uneasy in his heart. Jiang is a person with ideas, and if she doesn't have something, she shouldn't be alarmist.
Besides, if this matter is true, then no one can afford the consequences, "Jiang, you come with me to the field to have a look!" (End of chapter)
