Chapter 364: The marriage didn't go very well
Mrs. Wang is old, and she is very tired all the way back from Fucheng.
She did not go back to Li Jiaao directly, but came to Li Yuan's house.
Li Yuan, who happened to come back from Lijiaao not long ago, saw Mrs. Wang like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the person.
", what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Wang waved her hand, waited on the stool, rested for a while, and then picked up the tea poured by Li Yuan.
I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel that after drinking this sip of tea, the whole person is in a lot of energy.
Because of this, Mrs. Wang silently drank the cup of tea, and then said with a serious face: "Yuanniang, during this time after the New Year, is it raining here on our side?" I've lived in Fucheng for so long, and it's been sunny all the time, except for a drizzle in early March that didn't even wet the ground. It is rumored everywhere in the city that this year's year is not good, there will be a drought, and everyone can stock up on food and water. ”
"No, not a drop of rain. And the temperature in March this year, except for morning and evening, is so hot at noon that it catches up with summer. As soon as everyone arrives at noon, they wear summer clothes, otherwise they will sweat wildly in the heat. I gave the business of the noodle stall to the third aunt, and the third aunt said that it was a hot day, and the business was affected a lot. Later, she changed the noodles to cold noodles that had been boiled and then passed through the water, and changed the soup to mung bean soup in the well, and business was much better. ”
Mrs. Wang was not in the mood to take care of business, so she said: "Yuanniang, the situation outside is like this now, I think it will be worse in April and May." It's just that we're not afraid of drought, and we're afraid of the dam bursting due to the heavy rain you said. It's mid-March, but someone in the clan has gone to check the river dam in Liufeng County? ”
The old lady said, and asked again: "I heard Jiaojiao in Fucheng say that the county order of our Liuyun County can listen to the advice." Everyone thought that he would be a corrupt official, but they didn't expect that he was actually a good official dedicated to the people, just like Lord Chen. In this case, did Shao An tell him about this, let him go upstream to have a look, and talk to the county magistrate over there about this matter by the way? ”
"Milk, Lord Xu was persuaded by Brother Xie and them, and he felt that instead of making money for the faction behind him, it was better to make some political achievements on his own. He only cares about making money, and if the people behind him are on the throne, he may want to cut them down, so as to show that he is a fair and honest emperor. And he, making money for others, but in the end he didn't die well, it was better to only think about himself at the beginning. ”
"Brother Xie and Master Xu said that it is better to rely on others than on yourself, as long as he makes political achievements, the people behind him have light on their faces, and they will also value him. If the people behind him fail to compete for the throne, he is far away in a small place here in Xinyang Mansion, and he will not be able to affect him. Even if it is affected, as long as he is a good official, the people will send him a letter of all the people, begging the emperor to spare his life. Besides, this place is rich, and if he is an official here, as long as he does not go too far, those rich merchants will not treat him badly. ”
"Now Master Xu has been moved by Brother Xie and has decided to be a good official. Then the day before yesterday, I was escorted by Brother Xie and Brother Cao and others to Liufeng County. ”
Mrs. Wang knew that Liufeng County was in the upper reaches of the Liuyun River, and the river dam was also from that county.
Hearing this, he asked: "Then if the county order of Liufeng County arranges for someone to repair the embankment, can we not have to move it?" ”
Li Yuan shook her head: "Milk, don't think so simply. After all, Lord Xu is the county order of Liuyun County, even if he goes to Liufeng County, it is difficult to take the county order of Liufeng County to the river dam at most. How to do it depends on the county order. ”
"Besides, even if the dam has not failed, our Liuyun County is low-lying and should have been relocated. The topography of our Lijiaao is the lowest in the whole Liuyun County, and it is also the closest to the Liuyun River. As long as there is a heavy rainfall, and it lasts for a while, the river will inevitably rise and flow back. It's not that it hasn't been flooded before, but it rained heavily before and it lasted for a short time, so the river finally retreated quickly! ”
"But this time the situation is different, from last year's abnormality to the present, you should know the milk! Should we move or should we move, Brother Xie asked Lord Xu to go over there to see, at most, there is a reason to persuade Lord Xu, for the sake of the other people in Liuyun County, and apply to the boss to let him take the people in the county to leave here when the time comes, and let the boss approve the places that may not be seriously affected by the disaster for him, and give everyone an overdrive. When the flood waters completely receded, he took the people back to rebuild their homes. ”
Mrs. Wang thought about these brain pains, she actually thought that if that was the case, then their people in Lijiaao could also consider advancing and retreating together with Xu Xianling.
However, no one can guarantee when they will be transferred.
What if it's late?
So, according to the original plan, they went to Luyang Mansion!
Thinking like this, the old lady said: "Yuanniang, my grandmother is too old to withstand repeated tosses. When I come back this time, I want to discuss with your grandfather and let your uncle and third uncle separate their families. The land at home, whether it is still in the future or not, will be divided for the time being, and then let your aunt take your sister-in-law and sister-in-law to Fucheng first. Before I came back this time, your uncle had already rented a house, which was not very far from Jiaojiao's house, but it was not as big as hers. But if you want to live with your uncle's family, it's still okay. ”
When Li Yuan heard this, she asked, "If you don't go, my eldest aunt and two sisters-in-law, can you do it?" ”
"That's what Milk wants to tell you today! Junzi and Zhengzi are going to take the Fucheng test in April, and they have to go to Fucheng early if they want to come. I want them to come with you! By the way, Yuanniang, do you want to go over together? ”
Li Yuan shook her head: "No, I'm going to let Brother Xie take Caiwei and Qingsha together, Canniang and I will stay here, and then send everyone to Luyang Mansion together." It's a hot day, and no one can stand the back and forth on the road. Besides, Canniang and I also grow watermelons and strawberries, which are rare and delicious, and can be sold for a lot of money. Because there are a lot of watermelons planted in the clan, I have made an appointment with Su Mingshan before, and she will come to collect them in mid to late April. ”
When Mrs. Wang saw that she had already arranged it, she stopped squeaking.
Cai Wei is more than seven years old, and she will take care of herself and her sister, and she doesn't need her mother to be by her side all the time.
In addition, Shao An is a good father, and he will not treat them badly.
What's more, there is also Li Jun's uncle!
Li Yuan thought of Su Mingshan's marriage, so she asked, "Milk, did you go to the Su family's sister's wedding?" ”
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "No! She knew that I was in Fucheng, but she called me to go in your face. But what did I do with an old country lady? I don't have to disgrace you! However, I heard that her marriage did not go very well in the restaurant. It seems that when it was a visit, the kid from the Qin family suddenly fainted, and then the Qin family was in a hurry and said something not very good. Immediately after that, a handsome boy came on horseback and pulled her to leave. By the way, I heard that the son's surname is Chen, Yuanniang, do you think it will be Chen Gongzi who came to our house during the Chinese New Year, and he is the one who came to the general's mansion with the girl of the Su family? ”
