Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

The daughter of the Lin family is also the mistress of the Lin family, to whom can she tell her sufferings.

☆, 20, Jiamu threw the cup in anger

"Quick! Bring in another pot of hot water, let's boil a few more pots later, Madam will need it later."

Listening to the mother-in-law's voice in the delivery room, Father Xue went back and forth several times outside.Today is the 21st of the first lunar month, and Xue's mother suffered from labor pain while listening to Xue Pan's reading, and then was helped into the delivery room that had been prepared long ago.Because this is the first lunar month, I am afraid that Mother Xue and the baby will be cold, the floor heating has been warmed up long ago, the fire in the room has not been interrupted, and even the medicines such as ginseng to replenish Qi and continue to be prepared first.It had been more than an hour since Xue's mother entered, and then she heard low-pitched crying, heart-piercing crying is not good, it would take a lot of effort.

Xue Pan was also standing outside the door, holding his sleeve tightly. He had experienced the pain of being squeezed out of his body. Not only the mother's body, but also the baby had to go through this final darkness before being born into the world.Xue Pan thinks that it is not a good thing to remember things too early. He still feels that pain is a process of epiphany, from chaos to transcendence in the world.This is also wild thinking. Just when the father and son were about to lose their stamina, there was a burst of crying in the room, "Ah, ah, ah--".

"My lord, she gave birth to a daughter." The sound of the mother-in-law's happy announcement came from Chad, and Xue's father and Xue Pan both heaved a sigh of relief.

"Where's Madam? Are you okay?" Father Xue asked immediately.

"Mother and daughter are safe." Hearing the reply in the room, Father Xue really felt at ease.

Father Xue quickly ordered the housekeeper Xue Ping to reward everyone with money, and they were happy together.After waiting for the delivery room to be cleaned up, Father Xue and Xue Pan went to see the newborn little sister after getting rid of the cold. "Father, my sister is so cute. Look at her round and tender face." Xue Pan wanted to poke his sister's face, but he was afraid that the baby's face would be tender, so he held back his hands. Baochai in the Red Chamber.

"At first glance, our Baochai is a beautiful woman. Pan'er must take good care of her younger sister in the future, and she must not be wronged. Speaking of which, the little clothes your mother made earlier can also be worn by Baochai. It complements Baochai's white complexion." To say that this Baochai is different from other babies who are born with a blushing face like a monkey, is very fair and tender at birth, but Xue's father thinks far, probably for a long time After that, Baochai grew up and got married.

How come the Xue family decided it was a daughter?This is not just thinking about having a perfect son and daughter.Hence the name Baochai.I also asked Song Quan for advice on this. At first glance, it sounds a bit vulgar, but it is not just a jeweled golden hairpin. What parents want is the wealth and well-being of their children. I hope they will have a smooth life. Afterwards, she can also be a wife respected by her husband's family.

And this name has another meaning, as Mr. Song said, Baochai can be used as a blind medicine, "Baochai Dendrobium", the fairy grass in folklore, which was first seen in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Youlan is in the valley, the original Since no one knows.Only for the fragrance, the seekers are all over the mountains and corners'.The folks call it Dendrobium officinale, and it is a herbal medicine that is hard to change. It also implies that Xue Pan's sister must be different from ordinary people, and she will be the good girl that all families want in the future.

"Brother, can I also have a younger sister?" Xue Biao also asked Aunt Xue to come to see her sister after Baochai's full moon. This kind of soft doll that can spit bubbles is so cute.Xue Pan grabbed Xue Tada's eager paw, and the baby's face would drool if poked. How could his sister have such a dark history?I don't even show it. "Of course you can have it. Go play with your sister then."

Xue Biao muttered for a while, hum, he still regarded me as a treasure when he didn't have a younger sister, so he is going to abandon me now, didn't he say to reward me for doing good arithmetic and gifts, all gone.

Xue Pan looked at this cousin's face, it was written on his face with all the little thoughts, he couldn't help pinching Xue Biao's face, "New glass objects have been burned in the workshop, Your zodiac signs have already been sent home, why didn’t uncle tell you?”

"I came to see Sister Baochai early in the morning, and I didn't notice." Xue Biao smiled embarrassedly, and went to observe Baochai in her swaddling baby again.But Baochai looked at the two elder brothers with a smile, but did not start crying. In Xue's mother's words, this daughter is also very well-behaved.

The glass object mentioned here is the product after Xue Pan invited Yan Shi back years ago.Xue Pan and Father Xue discussed the development of the Xue family in the future, firstly for the experiments he wanted to do, and secondly for opening up wider business avenues.

"Pan'er, the master Yan you found is quite capable. Ordinary craftsmen can't make his almost lifelike objects. This can be said to be a treasure, not a simple thing to play with." "Father Xue looked at the handmade mechanical products made by Yan Shi, and he also saw the extraordinary things inside, "Are you thinking of asking him to help improve the method of colored glaze? Is it in a more transparent direction? burn?"

Xue Pan has some ideas. According to his setting, first, a situation must be opened at the upper level. It is not a good idea for one family to dominate, but it is also impossible without the capital to lead the trend. The best choice is the glass something like this.

In Daqing, the craftsmanship has gradually matured. In Gusu, those sand lamps have already been reflected. This thing is very valuable. The glazed lamps headed by Gusu have formed a unique mark. Celebrities all over Daqing sought after.Not only because it came from the West, it is closer to the style of Daqing than the ones from the West, but it also corresponds to the vague concept of beauty in Daqing culture. The waiting is the hobby of literati and refined guests.

"Father, this glass can be burnt to be more transparent. Just look at the lenses of the microscope made by Mr. Yan. My son wants to make them into tea sets. Looking at the way the tea leaves are tumbling inside, there are also purple sand teapots and porcelain ones. The beauty that cannot be seen from the bowl."

Father Xue did not expect Xue Pan to link this thing with tea. If you say that group tea was still popular in the Song Dynasty, it was not until the end of the former Dynasty and the Daqing Dynasty that fried tea became popular. thoughts?"

"I don't know what Dad thinks about scented tea. Since the Daqing Dynasty, more and more people drink it." What Xue Pan was thinking about was the scented tea that only started to emerge in the Daqing Dynasty. Unlike the general tea market, this is a specialty of flower tea. Rise is to break away from traditional tea making tools, and the advent of glass teapots must be said to be an opportunity.

Father Xue patted his thigh with a smile while thinking about it, "Yes, this idea is really wonderful. It is about to be burnt into transparent glass, put the rose into the teapot, and once the tea is poured in, from the rosebuds, slowly Stretch out slowly, just looking at it is a pleasure, I am afraid that everyone in the back house will like this thing. Pan'er is probably your master's favorite thing, and he likes these things when he sees them for his father. A relaxing view.”

Xue Pan also nodded in response. Naturally, literati will not be short of reciting words and sentences about these things.This also makes such an expansion and innovation in the market a culturally elegant thing.When mentioning the inventor, it is not only about the wealth and wealth, but also adding an elegant word like a layer of poetry.

"This matter is settled like this, let the workshop start to make improvements in this area. Speaking of which, Pan'er, Mr. Song is planning to let you go to the Tongsheng examination this year, and the title of being an imperial merchant is also going to be given up. , I plan to gradually hang on your uncle's head, otherwise the name will always be bad."

What Father Xue said was that in April, Xue Pan was going to take the children's examination first, after which he was a child student, and he had officially entered the imperial examination.Later, according to the imperial examinations in Daqing, those who passed the yearly examination were called scholars, and then they were qualified to participate in the provincial examinations, and began the official imperial examinations. Only after passing the provincial examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations could they become famous in one fell swoop.

The Xue family is an imperial merchant in Daqing, and there is no saying that they must not be able to enter the court as officials, but at least the title of the patriarch is not suitable for Xue's father, and it is appropriate to transfer it to Xue Biao's father. The side branch is too far away. Although it is only the transfer of the name and does not involve the actual property, Father Xue believes in his younger brother even more.

Xue Biao knew that his father's actions were for long-term considerations. After all, the Xue family was the only one of the four major families, and no one was an official in the court. This kind of business was the most unreliable, and he didn't even have a backer.The other families were down that day, so the Xue family must be unlucky.

*****

"Thanks to everyone, please say it again, at the beginning of this month, the Lin family adopted a child under Lin Hai's knee?!" Mother Jia had a letter from Suzhou in her hand, which was written by Jia Min first.She said that she had been married to the Lin family for many years. Although the husband and wife were harmonious and her parents-in-law were kind, she still had one regret, that is, she failed to give birth to a child for Lin Hai, which was also her fault as the mistress.She had heard the Jia family's education since she was a child, that fathers be kind and sons filial, family harmony and everything prosper, and discussed with Lin Hai. As a mother, she inherited the Lin family's mantle and provided for their retirement.

Everyone Lai was sweating, and she didn't expect such news from Suzhou that Miss Jia Min had been married to Lin Hai for seven or eight years, and everyone knew that she had no children, but the Lin family's children It was not easy to give birth, but now they are not middle-aged and childless, so why did they adopt a child?

But at this time, it never occurred to him that Lin Hai was already thirty, and he couldn't wait until forty to think about such things.

"Old Madam, don't be angry, there is nothing you can do about this young lady. Adoption is nothing, and it's not like you can't have children." Everyone Lai quickly comforted her.

Mother Jia slapped the letter on the table fiercely, was she so angry about this matter, that she was blind because she cut it so clearly.If she had known earlier, such a thing would have been absolutely not allowed to happen, and this would put their Jia family in disrespect.The only way is that the more I think about it, the more angry I get, 'Pa! 'He dropped the teacup on the ground.

"Go and call me the second child's family, and ask her how she manages things. Even this kind of thing is only now letting Jingli know!"

Well, Second Madam, please ask for blessings.Thanks to everyone, he walked out with his tail between his legs, and quickly found the one who committed the crime.

☆, 21, unlucky and tooth loss

Mrs. Wang looked at Mr. Lai who hurried into the yard, and seeing her face, her heart skipped a beat.Didn't the door say that there was a letter from Suzhou? Didn't you always rush to the old lady's side in the past, but now you are coming to me? Could it be that something happened?Could it be that Jia Min is pregnant, and the look on Lai everyone's face is not the same.

"Second Madam, the old lady called you over there, there is something to discuss." Although Lai everyone's expression is hurried, but this end still knows that the person in power in this mansion is Jia Mu, but Mrs. Wang is in charge. He said in a low voice, "The Lin family has adopted a child."

It was like a thunderbolt that exploded in Mrs. Wang's ears. If it was said that it was because of Jia Min's concern, there was no need to guess it was impossible.Mrs. Wang's mind is on big things and she doesn't have much sense, but it takes a lot of effort to look at people's faces, especially Jia's mother's thoughts, otherwise can she gain a firm foothold in Jia's mansion?Did the one who didn't see the big room die?

At this time, the old lady asked herself to go over to find someone to vent her anger.There is no way, she is the only one in this mansion who can be severely reprimanded now, and she must be said to be unfavorable to the housekeeper.

Sure enough, when Jia Mu saw Mrs. Wang, she wanted to start scolding, but she held it back abruptly, and first withdrew a group of girls and women who were waiting on the side, and when the door was closed, she could hear it from afar 'Snapped! ’, hey, this is the second one today, and it’s a pity that this is a treasure from Ding Kiln.

"You should take care of things in Suzhou. I told you 800 years ago. When Min'er was still in the mansion, you got married. At that time, I said that one family should not become two families. Look. The old lady is determined to allocate Miner to the Lin family, and I can't object. Why don't I agree? They don't understand, and you, a daughter-in-law, don't understand. Don't you just hope that she can stay in the capital instead of marrying far away? , helpless!

Min'er has had a good relationship with her second child since she was a child. It was only after you entered the house that they separated. Over the years, I told her that there has been no good news from her. I asked you to send more supplements and snacks. What about you? ?Have you asked an imperial doctor to take a look at her?Have you asked her to try the secret recipe for having children?The mother of two children doesn't even know how to take care of them and give birth well.

It's all right now, I got an adopted child and inherited the incense, who knows what the nature of that brat is, and who will be able to do things after that, just in case his son-in-law is ahead, Min'er doesn't have a child of his own Pang Sheng, the one who went halfway can take care of her.It's just that our Jia family didn't respond. The south of the Yangtze River is too far away!Isn't this caused by your lack of diligence, the second child's family, let's just say something! "Mother Jia scolded Mrs. Wang in one breath, without giving any time to defend herself.

Mrs. Wang can only slander in her heart. The relationship between Jia Min and the Jia family is gradually estranged because of the death of the old man. At home, the relationship between Jia Gong and Jia Min is the best.You do love your daughter, old lady, why don't you pack more good things and send them over? It's good to blame her. She has a bad relationship with Jia Min. It's not like the old lady doesn't know that it's wrong to ask her to say one more word .

"Old lady, it's because I didn't pay attention to this matter. I've been busy with Yuanchun's affairs these days. She has been suffering from stomach problems after the new year, so she didn't take care of sister Min'er. Now the matter is over. If you don't want to think of a way, you still have to give birth to yourself to be at ease. What do you think?"

Mother Jia glared at Mrs. Wang angrily, but she felt sorry for her granddaughter Yuan Chunlai, and that little baby's face that she had to endure a stomachache made her feel distressed.Thinking of the daughter who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, she was too used to it before, but now she doesn't even know to notify her family of such a big event in advance. If she said it, she would be wronged and let the Lin family do it.

This is because Jia Min knows her natal family well enough to make such an arrangement on purpose. Otherwise, after the adoption of the Lin family is messed up, if there is no child behind, or no son comes out, it is not easy to be a human being. Not herself.If there is a child later, it doesn't matter, anyway, one or two have passed, whoever said that it is not a biological relationship is not good.The two of Jia's family are biological, and the treatment of the eldest brother and the second brother is not the slightest difference. The reason for this is that she, a daughter, can't figure it out, and she doesn't expect Jia's mother to figure out the Lin family's affairs.

After thinking for a long time, Mother Jia was still unwilling to swallow this breath, took a sip of tea, "Well, send Qiu Mama to Min'er from me. Min'er has raised a child. Besides, it's not like you won't hear any rumors in the south of the Yangtze River." After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Wang with a half-smile.

Mrs. Wang could have heard the old lady's sarcasm, which meant that Xue's family was in Jinling, but she was not close to her.In her impression, Xue Pan was also a troubled man, and Xue's family was once again a merchant, so why should they get close to each other?However, there is no news about Madam Xu, which means nothing happened, anyway, there will be no moths, and the mountains and rivers are far away from the capital, so why contact her?Thinking of Father Xue's appearance, Mrs. Wang knew that her sister had a good relationship with Father Xue, so she wouldn't reveal anything.

"What the old lady said is, I'll make arrangements right now, so that Mother Qiu can go with her to the medicinal food room." Mrs. Wang immediately nodded in response.

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang's appearance, and didn't think about whether she was sincere or not. No one could use that anymore.The boss’s family just had a funeral, and they can’t even go to the south of the Yangtze River. Let Qiu Mama go. She is also an old man who has followed her for 20 years. She also watched Jia Min grow up. Jia Min can listen to her words. a little.

Mrs. Wang walked out of the old lady's yard, her whole body relaxed, the corners of her mouth curled up invisibly, what's the use of sending Aunt Qiu there, even if she sent a true god there, she wouldn't be born, these years There is no movement, you alone can play a role, anyway, she doesn't believe it.Even if it is really born, not to mention male and female, it is still uncertain what will happen to the adopted son and parent-child.

She is happy, as long as the old lady is dissatisfied with that place, I don't know why she just doesn't like girls who study like Zhang and Jia Min. No matter how much she reads, it doesn't make any difference if she spends her whole life in the back house. Why should he be superior to others? I didn't see that Mrs. Zhang also passed away. Jia Min was destined to have no children.Her Yuanchun can't take this path, the thing she holds in her hand is the real one.

It's just that this person's fate is really hard to say, it's destined, Xue Pan, the lone star in troubled times, may change the rest of the life, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, whoever cries later will know.

Jia Min in Suzhou received the news that Nanny Qiu was coming. In fact, this was a bit out of order. She was a married daughter, and her family even sent a nanny here, but even if she could talk to the Jia family, You can't even tell your own mother.As Mother Jia thought, Jia Min could still accept Nanny Qiu, because she had a clear head and would not come up with crooked ideas. Of course, this was under normal circumstances.

On this side, the Xue family knew about the news of the Lin family, and Xue's father even sent a congratulatory gift, which was also a celebration of Lin Hai's successor.Lin Hai also asked Lin Yu to get closer to Xue Pan's family, and asked Lin Yu to write some letters in the usual letters to Xue Pan. He thought about how old Lin Yu was. topic.After going back and forth, Xue Pan still communicated with Lin Yu. This is actually Xue Pan's ability to talk to people, but that Lin Yu is a talented and upright person. Lin Hai and his clan elders were not wrong about this. In the future, if Lin Hai has a parent-child, the relationship between the brothers and sisters will not be bad.

That is to say, what kind of life people want to live is completely different.The way you look at people, the way people look at you.

***

Xue Pan was reading a book on this side, and was about to start the baby test tomorrow. Unknowingly, he was hungry, so he picked up the pastry on the side, and when he bit it, hey, a tooth fell out.Xue Pan felt something was wrong in his mouth, so he spit out his mouthful, and saw small teeth slightly stained with blood on the plate.He looked at the bronze mirror and couldn't laugh or cry, he had become a child without teeth, even though he was a child in the first place.

"Haha!" Song Quan was delighted to see his apprentice shut his mouth tightly and refused to speak, which was far from his usual adult appearance, and he was very happy. It would be a good commemoration to draw it down.In the future, it can be used to tease Pan'er, "Show me, this is that tooth, keep it, how many years do you have to change this tooth? Why don't you talk?"

"Xiansen——" Xue Pan's opening was really leaking, and he closed his mouth tightly again. He hasn't experienced such embarrassment for a long time. He has forgotten such things after living these days. What about changing teeth? Yes, it's really talkative.

The real kid doesn't care about it, but the fake kid cares about face, luckily he's at home.

"Pan'er can't do that. You're going to take the exam tomorrow, so you can't just say hello to the adults. Don't worry, no one will laugh at you." Seeing Xue Pan's wrinkled face, he started to snicker again. He couldn't see that it was not easy for such a cold person. He really thought about making a painting to commemorate it. When his own son grew up, Why didn't it look so fun.

Unhappy, Xue Pan decided to avoid her husband and go to see Baochai first. The younger sister who is still babbling can't laugh at him, are they all toothless children?

"Ah, let me take a closer look. Pan'er is about to change her teeth, and she must pay attention to her teeth in the future, especially don't forget the mouthwash tea that you usually drink." Father Xue was in the room solemnly. Said to Xue Pan, and didn't look at Xue's mother covering her mouth and laughing, which made Pan'er depressed.

Xue Pan nodded, of course he remembered, this is the saying that there was no tooth extraction in ancient times, and protecting teeth is the basic of a diner.It is the tea Father Xue mentioned, which can be used both before and after meals, and the strong tea is also used to clear the mouth.In the Daqing Dynasty, there were already toothbrushes, but toothpaste was not seen. Generally, people used green salt to replace it. Cleaning the mouth after meals was also extremely important.

"Don't think about it, Pan'er is going to take the exam tomorrow, but relax, it's a big deal next year." Xue's mother was actually nervous in her heart, and she dragged Xue's father to talk for several nights, thinking about passing the exam. Tong Sheng was happy, and he thought about how to comfort his son when he failed the exam, and finally choked out these words.

This is not a problem, Father Xue and Song Quan both think so, as long as there are no accidents.

☆、22、Thunderstorm Conspiracy

At the beginning of February, a secret booklet was sent to the emperor, which said that a strange thing happened. Several flood control dams in the Lianghuai area collapsed to varying degrees, and some suffered minor damage. , while others were devastated from the rocks at the bottom.But these dams are not at the main river entrances, those places are small towns, and after several checks, there are no traces of damage, but natural weathering damage.

"Third son, what do you think about this matter?" The emperor called the third and fifth princes in the imperial study room. They were all on duty in the Ministry of Industry, but Xie was just thrown in by the emperor this year. Said to give him something to do.

The third prince Xie Chang respectfully accepted the secret book from his father. Although the places mentioned above are small counties, they are very close to prosperous places like Yangzhou and Jinling in the Lianghuai River Basin. "I remember that according to the records of the Ministry of Industry, these dikes and dams were all built by the previous dynasty, but they were all repaired and repaired ten years ago. It is a bit too much to say that it has been damaged to such an extent in only ten years. Soon."

"Fifth, have you read all the materials from the Ministry of Industry?" The emperor turned to ask Xie, "As your third brother said, the speed of damage is a bit fast. By the way, I went there to rebuild it ten years ago. The person in charge, it must be Li Ming, this old guy is walking fast, are there all the repair materials left there now?"

Xie went through it in his mind, there are so many and complicated things in the Ministry of Industry, he only went in for less than half a month, it is impossible to remember everything clearly, but it is a coincidence that he still read , Isn't this planning to go over there to have a look? It is always necessary to find out the situation. "The repair materials left by Mr. Li Ming are still there. They were not burned by the fire, but they are all copies copied by the adjutant later. The original records are only in Yangzhou."

Speaking of which, ten years ago, everything in the Daqing Dynasty was stabilized, so water conservancy construction began today, mainly aimed at the Yellow River area, and the Lianghuai River Basin was repaired first because the dams of the previous dynasty were still usable. Xinjian, the person who presided over this matter was the late Lord Li Ming.

The errand was not completed smoothly. Three years later, when the project was about to end, the government office where Mr. Li lived suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the most original project record books were destroyed. Burnt and grabbed a copy just in case.

The fire nearly burned Li Ming's face. Fortunately, he hid in a water tank and escaped the catastrophe. However, this also made him short of lungs, and he was only in his 40s when he died.

"At that time, the fire was fierce, and there was no way to do it. You should carefully check those dungeons today, and then go to Lianghuai once. Before the summer tide comes, find out this matter. I have sent Liu Yu to Let's take a step, go to Yangzhou, and first strengthen the damaged places."

"Yes, Father!" Xie Chang and Xie Shiqi took orders and prepared to investigate the Lianghuai dam.

"Fifth Brother, we've been in Rugao County for half a month now." Xie Chang and Xie were walking on a mountain path. They didn't bring many guards with them, and there were only four of them in total, just to avoid people. Eyes and ears, and as of today, they have already passed through all the county towns where the dams were damaged. "Ahead, Mr. Liu has already repaired a few places, and the villagers also said that there is nothing strange and abnormal. This matter is probably related to the inadequate repairs back then. What do you think?"

Xie didn't answer the conversation immediately, but just glanced at his third brother Huan Chang silently. The two of them have been working together on errands together for the past two months, and they have never left each other. The same thing is that he is not as uncontested as he showed in front of his father and ministers.

The prince is the emperor's favourite, the second prince is a dandy, the third prince has nothing to do with the world, the fifth prince has a facial paralysis, the sixth prince is approachable, and the remaining two are still young, this is the understanding of the people in the capital.

Xie Chang didn't point out that his fifth younger brother would answer immediately, but in fact, except when his father asked questions, his fifth younger brother would say a few more words, and he was usually very taciturn, and he was not very good at reading books. Touch Western studies. "Back then, there were rumors that there was a shortage of money for repairs, but it was later proved by Li Ming that it was a false accusation. Now it seems that it is not groundless. The yamen in these counties are all good, and it doesn't look like they usually do. According to the report, the harvest of the imperial court is flat, and there is not too much money."

"There is something wrong with the accounts in several county towns." After Xie Chang said a lot, Xie finally came up with a sentence.

Xie had to listen to the speech in person to feel that the tone was wrong, like a straight line without ups and downs in the voice, the emperor asked him to correct this problem, but after the death of Concubine Chen, he couldn't change it even more.Over the years, everyone has gotten used to the fifth prince's face that always has no expression, with a pair of dead fish eyes, and a straight-line tone of voice.

Then what?Xie Chang pointed at him and continued, but he couldn't wait for the rest of the story. Just as he was about to ask another question, he saw the county government office not far away.

"You'll have to read the rest to find out." Xie raised his head and looked at the sky, which seemed to be a little darker.

But both of them got off their horses and entered the county government office.

"Third Prince, Fifth Prince, should we have dinner first before looking at the account books? Don't be exhausted, or take a rest for a day or two, and the humble staff will take the two of you around the county. Tomorrow is the meeting "The county magistrate of Rugao greeted him. In fact, he hoped that the two giant Buddhas could be sent away as soon as possible. It has been ten days and a half months since the account was checked, and the details of the warehouse are clear. Why is it not over yet? .

"Don't worry, the matter of this embankment is of great importance. From the harvest of the farmland to the wealth and lives of the people along the river, it is all on it. The emperor sent us here just in case, and there is no accident. Check the ledger. Must, Mr. Wu, don’t you think so?” Xie Chang said as he went into the warehouse, he still has to stay here today, but luckily it’s coming soon, only the last year’s accounts are left to read.

County Magistrate Wu immediately looked at them with admiration, "The lowly position is that the two princes are too hard, and it is also because the ministers have not been able to share a little for the two, so let the servants deliver the dinner as before. Then don't bother the two princes." Now, the humble post will be retired first, and if you have something to do, just order it." County Magistrate Wu really can't intervene in this matter of auditing the accounts. Whoever the emperor sent to do the work, how could he let others do it for him.

Having said that, it is said that the third prince is a good Buddha and has nothing to do with the world, but he does things upright and does not bully him, which is exactly as the rumors say.That is, the fifth prince has not spoken a few times since meeting him, and he is really very cold.

Early the next morning, County Magistrate Wu wiped off the non-existent sweat on Cai's head, and finally sent those two away today.But before he left, he was still kindly inviting them to that gathering. "The two really don't want to stay for one more day. This kind of gathering will be held for three days in a row. Today is the last day. We can't usually see each other."

Xie Chang shook his head. They had already checked the books of counties with problematic dikes and dams. Now they rushed to Yangzhou to meet up with Liu Yu who was on the other side, and analyzed them in detail based on the clues everyone had. "Master Wu, don't need to be busy. From this point of view, it's the flood season. It's better to prepare early, so you don't need to call us."

"Lord Liu Yu has been waiting in Yangzhou for a while." Xie followed, which surprised the county magistrate Wu. He didn't expect the fifth prince to speak, so he became embarrassed after realizing it. Liu Yu has already been waiting, can the two of them have fun here, it is simply impossible to stay, and he is also enthusiastic in vain.

"This is a negligence of a lowly post. It's important business. It's important. Both of you have a safe journey." County magistrate Wu looked at the four people galloping away, and looked in the direction of Yangzhou. His heart sank. This happened ten years ago. It's old, so there won't really be any problems, right?Then, his good days as the county magistrate will come to an end.

Xie Chang and Xie rushed to the end and did not keep Liu Yu waiting for a long time. Several people met in Yangzhou.

"Third and fifth princes, I have already temporarily reinforced the dams that have problems. Further repairs will have to wait for the emperor's order. Are you going to send officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to have a look before making an agreement. That's it.

I don't know if it will be dangerous?

Jia Yuanchun is already over three years old. Unlike ordinary children, she is very sensible at the age of three, and she is usually favored by Jia's mother.As for the reason, she attributed the reason to her dream.She started dreaming about half a year ago, but it was intermittent, and what she was talking about should be her own later things.

At first, Yuan Chun was of course panicked and wanted to tell his mother, Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang in the dream didn't like people with such a personality, as if she preferred smart and sensible people, so Yuan Chun didn't
