Ah
in the early morning, when the sky was just dawning, a shrill scream broke through the clouds and came out from the courtyard of Mu's family. The voice was so sharp that Zhu Erzhen was scared to scream.
Shen Jingli held the child in his arms and coaxed him to a servant girl: "you go to the front yard and have a look at it in the early morning. Who is making a fuss about it?"
Before waiting for the maid to find out, Li Qi rushed in and reported to Shen Jingli: "madam, that coral is really not a peaceful person. He has been here for a few days and just wants to climb the master's bed.
listening to Li Qi's vivid speech, Shen jingliming has forgotten the cause and effect of the matter. Coral saw Mu Chen enter the study last night and ran to climb the bed in the middle of the night As a result, when she woke up, she found that it was not mu Chen who was lying with her, but the boy beside him. She started to make hysterical noises.
Shen Jingli frowned and gave her to mother Jin. She said to Li Qi, "you go with me."
Li Qi was happy to see the excitement, and was elated to open the way ahead. "Woo Sobbing... "
Before entering the courtyard, I heard the woman's sobbing from afar, which was very sad.
Cry, cry, cry what cry? Make it clear, how did you get to the study and lie with the pillars? Did you seduce him? "It is Zhu Zhu's mother who bought her after they came to Fucheng. "Wuwuwuwu..."
The coral did not speak and kept crying.
Shen Jingli led Li Qi into the door. As soon as coral saw him, he immediately jumped up and held his thigh. He yelled: "madam, you must make decisions for the coral. Coral is framed."
"What was framed? You don't want to say that it was my pillar that dragged you to the study? Are you dead? If others want to drag you, they can do it? " Pillar's mother surnamed Li, also known as mother Li, was a few years older than mother Jin. She was shrewd and refused to suffer at all.
Coral was speechless. Last night she saw Mu Chen come back. She didn't go back to her room or inform her wife. She went straight to the study. She thought he would stop in the study. She dressed up enchanting and ran to seduce him. Who knows, she ran into the room next to the study and ended up with the pillar in the dark.
In the heart is really aggrieved, she wails to burst into tears, cry that cry extremely. "Madam, you must be the master of our pillars. My pillars are honest people. How can they do such things?" Mother Li knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Jingli. "Madam, it must be this little bitch who is so mean that she can't stand hunger and thirst in the middle of the night. She touches the man's bed to seek comfort. The singer of the rich family is the most vagrant. She thinks about how to climb into the master's bed all day long..."
"Madam, you must be the master of my pillars." Mother Li also howled, which was more powerful than coral.
Coral was so angry that she dared to say so. She really wanted to tear her mouth, and she did go up and fight with mammy Li.
Shen Jingli looks at them coldly. You catch me and I catch you. She shakes her head in her heart. Mrs. Liu has a bad eye for people. Such a mindless woman dare to send her to tempt Mu Chen, but she is not afraid of bad things.
Without that compassion, he turned to the pillar and asked, "did you do it last night?"
Pillar is just a 17-year-old boy, listen to this, shyly lowered his head to answer the voice, "yes."
In that case, will you take her as your wife
The pillar opened his eyes and looked at Shen Jingli in disbelief. Could he marry such a beautiful girl?
"No, I don't want to marry him..." Coral yelled, she would not pick a worthless boy again, she would not live a miserable life.
"No, my pillar can't marry such a disaster." Mother Li also strongly opposed.
The two women looked at each other badly and began to fight again.
Shen Jingli ignored them and just looked at the pillar. "You decide for yourself. If you marry her, you can't stay in this house, but I will compensate you for 300 Liang silver."
The pillar was still young, did not understand the emotional things, only felt that the coral was beautiful, said, "he broke your body, you don't marry him, who can you marry?". His voice was quiet and pleasant, which made him happy. He nodded, "I want to marry her
" I don't want to marry him... " Shan: Hu screamed hysterically
without paying attention to coral's cry, Shen Jingli directly asked people to drag her down. Three days later, the pillar took three hundred taels of silver given by Shen Jingli and left Mu's house with coral and his mother.
On the day they left, it rained as thin as wool. The rain was very thin and very small. It could not get wet under the umbrella, but it continued for a whole day.
It's always rainy in the south in summer, and it never stops raining. Shen Jingli sits in his room, listening to the full cry of coral outside, and can only laugh it off.
It has been raining for seven days, but it has not stopped. Moreover, the rain has a trend of gradually increasing from continuous drizzle. As soon as the window is forgotten to be closed tightly, it is knocked into the house, and the ground is covered with a piece of dry cloth. How to wipe it with dry cloth, it feels damp.During this period, magistrate Liu came to visit and apologized to their husband and wife about the coral incident. He said that it was not good to discipline them, which caused them trouble. He also gave them a big gift, a good-looking jade Ruyi.
Afterwards, I heard that coral was brought back to Liu's house, and the pillars came to ask for help several times, but they were all beaten out. After that, no one would continue to pay attention to the matter. The coral affair was like a small episode, adding some spice to their life.
Standing by the window, he watched the rain drop from the eaves and hit the big banana leaves. The rustling rain made Shen Jingli feel restless and uneasy. He thought of his field, and there were still crops in his field. He thought of the dam that had problems. His field was downstream of the dam. If the dam collapsed, the flood would wash his field All the crops in the field will suffer.
The more you think about it, the more anxious you are. You can't control the weather and keep it like spring forever.
Ah, it's his dream. Even in the 21st century, in the era of advanced science and technology, there are still food crises, floods and droughts. There are still people who starve to death because they can't eat a mouthful of food, not to mention the ancient times with backward knowledge.
He sighed and silently counted the grain and silver he had accumulated during this period of time in order to be more at ease.
When Mu Chen came back from the outside with a coir raincoat and a hat, Shen Jingli immediately met him, "what's the situation of the dam?
He felt uneasy and vaguely felt that something was going to happen.
Not very optimistic. "Mu Chen's face is solemn. The dam is a bean curd project, which can't resist the impact of the flood. If the rain keeps on and the dam collapses, the people living in the lower reaches of the canal are bound to suffer.
"Is the problem serious?" He gripped his hand nervously and could feel the cool of his fingertips.
"I'll take care of it."
The more he said that, the more worried he was. He was afraid of the tragic situation after the heavy rain. What about the harvest of his field? Where should people who live in the land go? Once the canal burst, the flood would surely rush to the fields and people's homes, so the disaster would not be
the people near the canal would lose their homes and be displaced. He could not expect the government to provide disaster relief.
14、 You can transfer hundreds of people to me. You can find the people in Chuang Tzu or those in King Jing's hands. You can let them stay for me. " be prepared against want.
"What do you want? "You can transfer people, but you can't do nothing. "I don't know." He looked at him, anxiously moving around the room. "Well, I'll prepare someone for you.
The rain continued for a month, and the rain did not slow down at all. Mu Chen went out of the city every day to check the situation of the dam. The dike was even worse than he thought. It had begun to show tiny cracks. King Jing sent the Constable of the prefect's Yamen to carry sandbags to remedy the situation. But he was afraid that the flood might be too strong to prevent the sandbags.
Shen Jingli is in a hurry every day. He urgently asks Mu Chen to send people to him. He wants to collect all the crops in the field.
"Jingli, the rice is not fully ripe. Are you too anxious?" He knows he is in a hurry, but he can't go to the doctor in a hurry.
"Do you know how long that dam will last? Once it breaks the bank, all my crops are gone? Do you know how many people can be saved from starvation by those crops It was because he understood the importance of food that he was worried and worried.
"Well, I'll transfer you right away."
"Let them quickly take back the crops in the field. Remember to dry the rice and not put it directly on the ground for fear of moisture.
he felt like an old lady. He didn't want to worry about it. He just wanted to be quiet and lazy, but He looked up at Mu Chen, and then looked back at yu'er, who was playing with Li Qi on the Luohan bed. He really had to worry about some things.
14、 Do you know what happens when the levee breaks? Mu Chen tightened his eyebrows, which is exactly what he worries about.
"You know, the river bank is unstable. If the rain keeps on raining, it will break up sooner or later." His face is heavy. He never thinks that he is worried about the country and the people, but he passed through after he died in the earthquake. There is always a kind of inexplicable fear of the disaster caused by natural disasters
"But the people may not be willing to go, after all, before the flood, no one believes that the levee can not stop the flood, and no one will easily leave their homes." He was always worried. During this period of time, he went to inspect the outside of the city every day because he was worried that the rain would cause great disaster.
"Therefore, what we need to do now is not only to harvest food, but also to find ways to minimize the loss when the flood comes." Shen Jingli scratched his head and felt that he would be bald sooner or later. He told Mu Chen all his thoughts, including informing the people outside the city to take preventive measures, preparing a large number of sandbags at the gate of the city. When the flood comes, it can block the flood control at the gate of the city, and let the people prepare wooden pots and buckets for escape, and even find several high-lying Chuang Tzu as refugee camps After that, we should take in the people affected by the disaster and collect medicinal materials and grain.
Mu Chen looked at him and saw a surprise in his eyes. He suddenly hugged him and said, "I'll go to see the Lord and make arrangements immediately."
