"Bah, bah, bah..."
Xu Laosan, who was slapped by Mrs. Xu, obediently sighed.
However, Xu Laosan's unintentional words still put a huge stone on everyone's heart.
After the drought, if there is another heavy rain and disaster occurs, will these people still live
At night, it was stormy.
Mr. Xu, who was lying on the kang, had a rare insomnia.
With such a heavy storm, there might really be a flood.
What might be done
There is no other choice but to pray to God.
Fu Bao slept soundly.
Heavy rain causes disaster
impossible.
In her dream, the sky cleared after the rain, a long rainbow spanned the sky, the vegetation sprouted and came to life, and there was a fresh breath between heaven and earth. What makes Fu Bao happy the most is that she has grown up and can ride a pony around.
"Giggle..."
Mr. Xu, who was worried, suddenly heard Fu Bao's laughter and was startled.
He quickly turned sideways to see his precious daughter sleeping next to Mrs. Su.
have to!
Fu Bao was sleeping soundly now. He had obviously had some sweet dreams. He smacked his lips from time to time. He didn't know whether he had eaten something delicious or what happened.
By the light of the flickering candlelight, Mr. Xu saw everything clearly.
"It must be okay!"
Thinking of his daughter's blessings, Mr. Xu suddenly realized what he was thinking about here.
Regardless of whether it was a flood or not, would it have any impact on him
The drought has passed, but what if there is a flood? Anyway, here in Lingshui Village, there is no need to worry about flooding. As for the Peach Blossom River next to it, even if the Peach Blossom River overflows, it will only flow into the wet depression to the east.
On the other side of the wetland, there wasn't even a village.
Therefore, I was just worrying blindly.
Sleep, sleep!
The overthinking Mr. Xu said he would just sleep when he said it, which was not ambiguous at all.
Have a good night's sleep until dawn.
It's still raining.
But compared to yesterday afternoon, it was already much smaller.
The older people in the village ran to the Peach Blossom River and circled back. The Peach Blossom River that had dried up before was now filled with water again.
Unfortunately, after this drying up, the big fish in the Taohua River have basically disappeared. People in the surrounding villages may have to wait for several years if they want to fish in the Taohua River again.
Although it was still raining, Xu Laosan still went to the county school to study.
A coir raincoat, a cape and an oil-paper umbrella are all complete equipment.
However, Xu Laosan's fake Jade Night Lion had no choice but to brave the wind and rain to send his master to the county seat.
As for the two good horses at home, no matter how much Xu Lao Er and Xu Lao Er praised them to the sky, they failed to catch the eyes of Xu Lao San.
But it was Fubao's pony that made Xu Laosan very jealous.
It's a pity that the foal is too young, and it belongs to Fubao. Even though Xu Laosan was greedy, he couldn't possibly grab something from his little sister.
After this incident, a group of people from the old Xu family finally understood.
Xu Laosan only chooses horses based on whether they look good.
A perfect looking dog!
…
As noon approached, the rain became lighter and lighter.
The gloomy sky also became much brighter.
That is, at lunch time, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and a rainbow spanned the sky and the earth, which was beautiful.
No heavy rain caused disaster.
This rainfall completely moistened the long-drought land and filled all the dry rivers, ponds, and reservoirs.
As soon as the rain stopped, the villagers went to the ground in a hurry.
Preparing the soil in preparation for planting.
At this time, if you plant a crop of crops, whether it is beans, peanuts, or corn, you can harvest it before winter.
This rain came just in time.
If it were ten days and a half later, the time for sowing would have been missed.
Xu Laosan originally studied at the county school, but after he found that the rain had stopped, he asked for leave from the county school teacher and went home to help sow seeds.
No one needs to inform about this matter, Xu Laosan still has the consciousness.
…
In the next two days, the entire Xiangyi Prefecture was in a super busy state.
Shen Wansheng was also very busy. Originally, he was dealing with people from the imperial court and Xu Mansion, but later because of the rain, he abandoned them all.
In order to grab time, Shen Wansheng also went crazy and sent all the horses that the government had purchased for the government-run carriage operation to the villages below for free.
Fortunately, the fields are now saturated with rain, so whether it is an ox-drawn plow or a horse-drawn plow, it is not very strenuous.
Otherwise, if these horses are lost, Shen Wansheng and Mr. Xu's big plan will be completely ruined. By that time, Shen Wansheng's performance evaluation as an official will probably not be able to escape a low ranking.
Even with his previous achievements, his career may have been ended.
But now, as this batch of horses has been released to various villages, this race to breed has successfully come to an end.
When the censors reported the situation to Emperor Yongping, Emperor Yongping's evaluation of Shen Wansheng was even higher.
Yan Jing accompanied Emperor Yongping and was very worried about his sworn second brother.
Today, it's good, the weather is sunny after the rain.
"Yuan Shu, what do you think is going on with Xu Yuanzun?"
It's really a strange thing to see no one alive and no corpse after death.
Emperor Yongping has been a little troubled recently because An Taigong Xu Huaiyi complained to him when he saw Tiandi, saying that his son had been harmed. He also said that his son had given him a dream, saying that the person who harmed him was Xu Huaiyi, the abandoned son of the Xu Mansion.
How could Emperor Yongping believe this thing that has absolutely no evidence
But when Xu Huairen saw Heaven and Earth crying to him, Emperor Yongping was also very annoyed.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is too strange."
"As far as I know, Xu Yuanzun brought a group of eighteen cavalrymen from the Xu Mansion when he left the capital."
"Then, Anshun County reported that eighteen horse thieves tried to attack Xiaoyi Lang Xu Huaiyi. Fortunately, a strange person took action, and they were lucky enough to escape."
"Anshun County Magistrate Shen Wansheng reported that eighteen thieves raided the magistrate's prison and kidnapped Xu Yuanzun and an old steward of the Xu Mansion."
"The reason why Shen Wansheng captured Xu Yuanzun and the old steward of the Xu Mansion was because they said that they were going to clean up the house with the Eighteen Cavalry!"
"Your Majesty, taste it, taste it carefully!"
Yan Jing did not express his judgment directly, but guided Emperor Yongping to think about this issue.
Xu Yuanzun and the old steward of Xu Mansion went to Xiangyi Mansion to kill people.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying something I shouldn't have said."
"The power of Xu Mansion is a little too much!"
"Emperor Taizu enacted legislation when he founded the country. No clan was allowed to set up private courts. Anyone and any crime should be punished by the court's laws."
"Even the royal family is under the control of the clan government."
"Even the noble residence is subject to the constraints of the clan mansion."
"Only this Xu Mansion is an exception!"
That's right, Yan Jing was applying eye drops to the Xu family in front of Emperor Yongping.
This is not only his duty, but also to help his elder brother vent his anger.
Although Yan Jing is a scholar, he is also a righteous person.
The Xu Mansion has sent people to remove his sworn brother and his family. If he, the sworn brother, doesn't cause trouble to the Xu Mansion, how can he see the three sworn brothers again
"Why don't I know that Xu Mansion is too powerful?"
Emperor Yongping sighed and said quietly, "It's just that Emperor Taizu left an edict that all descendants of the Xu family will be spared death as long as they are not involved in rebellion. If they commit adultery and commit crimes, they should be given a lighter sentence."
"Yuan Shu, I'm in trouble too!"
With Emperor Taizu's edict existing, as long as Xu Mansion does not commit suicide, no one can shake Xu Mansion's honor and favor.
"Your Majesty, how about you arrange something for the three princes of Xu Mansion?"
Yan Jing rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea, "Isn't there a lot of trouble in the Northern Barbarians recently? His Highness, King Yan, is still taking the young prince to the south to fulfill his wish. Why not let An Taigong go to the north? ?”
"Given An Taigong's talent and strategy, I believe that when An Taigong leaves, he will be able to succeed immediately and make new contributions to the Xu Mansion!"
"After all, Duke An Tai was able to inherit the title, but he was better than Marquis Dingbei!"
After Yan Jing said these words, Emperor Yongping was really tempted.
At the beginning, Xu Mansion had one family and three masters.
On the one hand, it is because of the meritorious service of King Taiping Xu Zhengqi, and on the other hand, the three sons of King Taiping all fought on the battlefield and made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Only Xu Zhengqi was granted the title of king, but none of the three sons were granted titles.
Because of this, the Xu Family and the Three Masters were later established.
Emperor Yongping did not think that the Xu Mansion would conspire against him, so he was not afraid of the Xu Mansion.
But during this period, An Taigong Xu Huaiyi's repeated complaints really made Emperor Yongping feel uncomfortable. This person is really too uncomfortable.
How could there be any trace of the decency of a prince in that messy and arrogant manner
Coupled with the fact that Xu Mansion was handling this matter in Xiangyi Mansion, they simply did not take the court laws seriously at all.
"This method is wonderful!"
Emperor Yongping thought for a moment and agreed with Yan Jing's proposal.
Throwing An Taigong to Northern Xinjiang will, on the one hand, make his ears clear. On the other hand, Emperor Yongping also wanted to see what Xu Huaiyi was capable of when he was able to surpass his uncle Xu Shuo and inherit the title of An Taigong.
As a result, a decree was quickly sent to the Xu Mansion by the chamberlain.
When Xu Huaiyi finished listening to the imperial edict, he was stunned.
He used to be skilled in martial arts.
But as he inherited the title of An Taigong, it fell into disuse.
Today, he can still ride a horse, but he is a little older when it comes to carrying a gun into battle.
"Grandma, grandma, you can't ignore your grandson!"
After barely holding on, he sent away the eunuch who was delivering the order, and hurriedly found the old lady of the Xu Mansion.
Mrs. Xu looked at her incompetent grandson kneeling in front of her, and she really hated the iron.
"Get up!"
Mrs. Xu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, resisting the urge to get angry.
"If grandma doesn't agree, my grandson won't get up!"
At this moment, Xu Huaiyi was really shameless.
"Grandma, my grandson has realized his mistake!"
"However, my grandson has not carried a gun for a long time. If my grandson goes to Northern Xinjiang, he will definitely lose the face of his ancestors!" (End of Chapter)
