【No.60 Eight Chapters】Grandma Liu enters Rongguo Mansion for the second time · Lin Yin saves the flood

But when Sister Feng Zhang Luo came back, Fang went back to the room and said with a smile to Ping'er, "I think the crabs brought by my aunt are very good, but I didn't eat them raw just now; go and ask if there are any, and bring some back." Let’s have delicious food.” Ping’er agreed, and was about to go out when she saw Mrs. Xing’s maid, Xia Xi, leading a woman with a food box, and said with a smile to Sister Feng: “Madam saw that grandma was just serving the old lady. I didn't eat anything, so I quietly asked my aunt for these crabs, and told my second grandma to close the door at home and eat them raw with Miss Ping." When Sister Feng heard this, she smiled at Ping'er: "It can be seen that the wife loves us. This is my favorite food; you came with me just now, and now we can eat as much as we want." So he thanked Mrs. Xing to Xia Xi, and taught him how to make a few snacks to bring over; Xia Xi Then he ordered the woman to put down the food box, took the snack box and went to Mrs. Xing.

Ping'er sent Xia Xi back, opened the food box on the table, opened one inside, and said with a smile, "There are so many of them, we can't finish them." Sister Feng was very happy, and said to Ping'er, "You can keep some of them." The second master came back to eat. — After all, it is my wife who remembers me, and it is rare for a mother-in-law to do this." Then he ordered people to pour wine, and smiled at Xiao Ning: "You come here too. Anyway, There is no one, just come and eat with me, sister Ping." Xiao Ning didn't dare to sit down, so she looked at Ping'er; Ping'er smiled and said, "Sit down quickly, don't pretend. It's been so long, you still don't know our grandma's nature. Son?" Hearing this, Xiao Ning bent her knees and sat down on the couch.Sister Feng also taught some people who went out to serve with them to eat. While a maid brought wine up, the three of them ate once.

After a few people had eaten, Ping'er taught people to come in, looked at clearing the table, and saw Wang Cheng's family come in and replied: "A man named Grandma Liu came with two big bags and said that he would pay homage to Second Grandma Tong Ping." Miss." Hearing this, Ping'er went out again, and saw Grandma Liu sitting there, and a few maids untied the mouth of the bag and poured out the fruit and vegetables inside, seeing Ping'er hurriedly came down to the ground to say hello and exchange some pleasantries. , Pointing to the melons and fruits on the ground, he said with a smile: "Last time, I received more help from my aunt, and the whole family felt very grateful. I wanted to come here early in the morning to see my aunt and the girl, but I couldn't get away from it. I finally got a good one this year." Harvest, I picked the first stubble of melons and fruits to honor my aunt and girl; girl, don't think we are poor, it is our wish to use some of it." Ping'er hurriedly said thank you, and while giving up his seat, asked him if he had seen Sister Feng before. Grandma Liu said: "I have already seen it, but my aunt is busy, teach us to wait a while."

Ping'er then ordered people to grab the fruit and eat it with the board, and then smiled and said, "After eating here, we can go." Grandma Liu glanced out, and said, "It's already this time, why don't we go? When the time comes, the city gate will be closed, and you won't be able to get out." Hearing this, Ping'er instructed Wang Cheng's family to go back to Sister Feng.Unexpectedly, Sister Feng was talking in front of Mrs. Xing, and when she heard him coming and going, Mrs. Xing asked Grandma Liu who she was, and heard that Wang Cheng's family had said it, and said, "This family is very kind. Since it's late, stay What's the matter if he stays overnight?" Sister Feng told Wang Cheng's family to send Grandma Liu to live there, and Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "The old lady is getting bored these days, why don't you teach this grandma to go there?" It's also good to talk to the old lady while going to relieve boredom; he can also visit here for a few days, which is considered to be a visit to us." When Sister Feng heard the words, she also said yes.

When it was time to eat dinner, Mrs. Xing told Jia's mother, and sure enough, Jia's mother liked it, so she taught grandma Liu to come; Once again to comfort him, he pulled the board and led grandma Liu to this side.For a while, in Jiamu's room, Aunt Xue and all the sisters were there to have fun. They had met each other. To be stubborn; when he talked happily, he tried his best to keep him for a few days.Seeing that Jia Mu liked it, Sister Feng also smiled and said, "Grandma, just stay longer, so that we can talk to our old lady and tell some stories about your place." But seeing the scenery here, I have a feeling of nostalgia, but I half push and half agree.

From time to time, when it was time to eat, after everyone had finished eating, they all came to Jiamu's side again and sat listening to Grandma Liu.Sitting with Baochai, Daiyu was surprised to hear him talking about the farm. When she heard him say that all the family affairs were difficult, she sighed and said to Baochai: "Brother Wei Dao said that the farmer's family is hard every day, and we only live in the high gate compound every day, but we don't know about it." Baochai laughed and sighed: "Many people in the world have difficulties, not just farmers? But each has its own way. It's just a problem. It's just that when you see Grandma Liu, you don't think it's hard, but you like it every day; or if the harvest is better that year, you will be very happy; if that year is not good, you can come to fight the autumn wind. It can be seen that everyone has their own way of living." Hearing this, Daiyu pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "What you said is that seeing Grandma Liu like this seems more comfortable than us." Baochai laughed and said, "Exactly. It can be seen that reading too much will make people unhappy."

Over there, Grandma Liu was frothing all over the place, waving her paws and talking about staying for half a day.Jia Mu was very happy, so she ordered him to clean up two houses in her yard and teach him to live there. The next day, she held a feast and invited Aunt Xue to accompany her. Grandma Liu also ate there and stayed for two days before leaving. go back.Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and others all had gifts, not to mention. Grandma Liu was very grateful, so she took the board with great gratitude.Nothing for now.

Now it's about Jinyu.The day before yesterday, the Holy Majesty issued a clear decree, instructing everyone to act according to what Yunyu said; if they did not obey, they would be punished without mercy.Although the officials were dissatisfied, none of them dared to disobey, and Kuang Yuyu acted vigorously and spared no effort; therefore, a large group of migrant workers gathered, and the aqueduct was dug in a short time.Over there, Xue Die also led a group of people to build the dam at the place chosen by Yunyu; it was completed in a few days.The two went to check the place that the other was looking at, and they were relieved when they saw that there was no mistake.On the day of completion, Jinyu ordered people to open the sluice to release the water. Seeing that the river was no longer rushing like before, it flowed down the canal all the way to the foot of Mang Mountain. When the dam was built, the water was stored. They are all based on the ideas of the two, and there is no difference.

But he said that everyone was watching from the sidelines, and they couldn't help cheering.Although Yunyu and Xue Die knew what they had in mind before, they were still a little worried because they had never seen it in person. The side spread is down the drain, and the water control is done.As a result, all the people watching were rejoicing, and some of them got on their horses and galloped to report to the sage; but Yunyu and Xue Die did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people along the long embankment to patrol all the way, for fear that something might go wrong there. .After Fang patrolled and came up, someone flew to report that the Holy One had come in person, and he was busy dressing up again, and came up to see him together.

Today, I have heard other people talk about this matter, and now I see the two of them coming up, and I said with a smile: "Sure enough, 'heroes have been young since ancient times', the two of you have made great contributions to this matter. ; but now that we are away from home, it is not good that we will be rewarded, and when we return to Beijing, I will definitely reward you a lot." Hearing this, the two quickly kowtowed and thanked.Today, because he saw the tired faces of the two of them, he said again: "You two have been very tired recently, let's teach Li Lin to lead the people to patrol here. Let's go back and rest for a while, and we will have to do it later. All the officials here are gathered together to listen to the two of you teach this method of water control." Yunyu said with a smile, "I dare not. I discussed with Wenqi the day before yesterday, and copied this method, and compared it with the two of us recently. I made some comments on the scene I saw here, and when I go back later, I will show it to Your Majesty, and then I will ask someone to write it to them, so it will be more clear than what I said." Xue Die also smiled and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I will Young people are most afraid of talking to others; it's better to say that according to Yinzhi, it's cheaper to do it twice, and ask for the permission of the sage." Today I saw Yunyu and Xue Die decline, once they like it, naturally they will not be stronger; Nai Ling When the man came with a cart, he didn't teach him how to ride a horse. He only taught him to ride a carriage and come straight to his residence.

When the two entered the room, they were about to sit down. Seeing that the sage ordered a servant to come forward and say: "You two go to rest first. If you want to eat, just tell the kitchen to do it. Tomorrow, we will have an extra banquet." The two thanked each other hurriedly, and Xue Die handed the little waiter a purse, and the little waiter resigned firmly, "You don't have to do this, my lords. A few days ago, my lords worked hard for the national economy and the people's livelihood. Your Majesty is merciful, so I teach you He came to proclaim the decree; he dared not accept rewards for nothing." Xue Die laughed and said, "Although this is the case, it's just the rules, so you have to accept it." As he stuffed the purse into his hand again, the little servant put the purse in his hands. , smiled and said: "Your Excellency, just pay for your work. We all admire this water control work when we hear about it. If I have to serve you, it will be a face." The group said, and went out.

Seeing that he was gone, Zhenyu smiled at Xue Die and said, "This is the first important thing you and I have done here." Xue Die smiled and said, "Exactly. Now the flood problem is over. See After all, the people are relieved of their sufferings, and they are happy after all, but what will happen if the spread of rumors and embezzlement of money and food have not yet been investigated and dealt with?" Yuyu laughed and said, "I think I have already taken care of myself. If he doesn't mention it, we will Then I just forget it, and I think there will be a saying later." When Xue Die heard the words, she didn't mention it any more; when she saw that the bed curtains were folded and ready, she felt sleepy, so she took off her clothes and went to sleep on the bed. Nothing for now.
