"Run Chen."
After the master's words, several ladies and sons all looked at the master Su Yunqi.
Upon hearing this, the eldest son Su Runchen, who had not yet had time to chew the food in his mouth, looked at his father Su Yunqi.
"This makes you stay in the Hanlin Academy for many years, which is indeed a bit aggrieved."
Upon hearing this, Runchen laughed: "Dad, are you going to be promoted to an official?"
"You boy, my father begged you hard and forced you many times before you became the official you are today. Seeing you like this, my father feels that everything is worth it."
I was just relieved, but who knew there would be a big turnaround.
"Dad, I'm really aggrieved. You don't know that I get up early every day and work hard at night, and I've lost a lot of weight. Dad, tomorrow you go tell the officials and ask them to resign. Now... This is too tiring." Runchen begged.
Upon hearing his eldest son's words, Mr. Su Yunqi, who was smiling and happy at first, suddenly became serious, with a somewhat stern look on his face.
"Things that don't make progress! What can you do like this!" Mr. Su became angry.
Seeing the angry face of the master, Madam Fan said a few words of comfort: "Master, don't get angry. It will hurt your body."
Listening to Mrs. Fan's consolation, Master Su not only remained angry, but also became even more angry: "Look! Look! Look! Look at the good son you are used to!"
Seeing his father so angry, Su Runchen pretended that nothing happened and continued to eat.
Looking at the table full of families, who should be eating happily, it seems that they are making such unpleasant noises every day.
Thinking that his second son Su Yanzhi had gone to join the army and now heard that he had joined the main army of these three provinces seemed to give Su Yunqi a small comfort.
"Run Chen, my father doesn't want to talk about you. But look at what you are like. Your brother Yanzhi, look, a few days ago there was news that the main force of the three provinces had entered the army. If he works hard, he will become a general in the future. It’s no big deal. Can’t you imitate him?”
After saying this, Su Runchen suddenly felt that the food in front of him no longer tasted good and stopped eating.
His wife Xia Siqing on the side saw this and gave a warning with her elbow. Although she didn't say anything, Runchen could understand that this was a warning to herself not to be reckless.
"You are older than them all in this house. As the eldest brother, you should set an example. Now Yanzhi Rang is quite satisfied with being a father."
As he spoke, Master Su Yunqi didn't want to mention Su Runchen anymore and looked directly at Jinfan: "Jinfan, listen to my father's words and learn from your second brother. Don't be like him and just think about being like him all day long. He acts like a god, waiting to eat and drink and unwilling to do anything else. Those gods are better than him, at least they are of some use in this world."
After that, Mr. Su unknowingly talked about Su Runchen: "What about you? You stay in this world just to eat and drink. See for yourself how you did in the Hanlin Academy? Official in January, you I did it for half a month.”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Su couldn't go on talking anymore, and he didn't even have the intention to eat the food.
I can't bear it anymore, no need to bear it anymore.
This is what Su Runchen often says after Xia Shan when he is bullied by others on the street.
"Dad! You're going to join the army tomorrow, right? Even if you can't become a general, maybe you'll be happy if your son dies on the battlefield." Su Runchen stood up.
What Su Runchen said was so true that Mr. Su didn't expect it.
"Runchen, don't be rude." said the biological mother, Mrs. Fan.
The wife Xia Siqing on the side pulled a corner of Su Runchen's clothes with her slender hands.
After looking at the two of them talking, and then looking at Xia Siqing's handsome face, he suddenly seemed to have been tamed, calmed down, and sat on the chair.
Seeing this situation, Master Su felt a little happy. It seemed that his daughter-in-law had made the right choice.
If it had been before, I don't know what this child would have done.
"Death in battle is not what I hope for. My father hopes that you will grow up and become a high official soon, so as to save face for your sister and our Su family." Mr. Su's anger also dropped. Somewhat.
What his father said made Su Runchen feel a little bit regretful: "I understand, Dad."
"Listen to my father's words and go to work on time from tomorrow. Don't miss it without any excuse. Otherwise, all the civil and military officials will say that I, as a father, am incompetent and let you use the money of the country."
"I understand, Dad."
Look, my daughter-in-law made the right choice. Su Runchen suddenly became like a sensible child.
Early the next morning, Su Runchen obeyed his father's words and went to work obediently.
"Hey, uncle Guo, are you here?" Xiao Guan greeted.
He is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, with a thin body, only from the eighth rank.
Uncle Su Runchen is now an official of the sixth rank.
Runchen smiled proudly and made up his mind: "That's right. No, a few days ago, my body has been feeling weak all day long. After diagnosis, the Queen's doctor said that it was due to functional impairment in various parts of the body. He prescribed some medicine for me. , after drinking for so long, I feel as alive and energetic as I do today."
Upon hearing this, the junior official was very happy.
What Uncle Guo thinks is exactly the same as what he thinks.
Thinking of his wife and concubine, the official asked with a smile: "What kind of medicine does Uncle Guo use? Can you recommend it to Mr. Huang?"
Upon hearing this and looking at the smiling face of Huang Dianji in front of him, he knew that what he was thinking was different from what he thought.
Su Runchen smiled: "You want it?"
Huang Dianju nodded anxiously, looking eager.
"There are many doctors in Yanyang City. You can go and see them in your spare time."
Upon hearing this, Huang Dianji did not give up: "Which of the doctors out there can treat Uncle Guo? Uncle Guo might as well tell Huang a prescription, so that Huang can let the servants at home get the medicine." "
"Hey, this... I really forgot. After drinking the medicine, Madam threw away the prescription. She said: I don't want to see that thing again."
"I don't know where she went."
After hearing what Uncle Guo said, Huang Dianji was disappointed and had no choice but to ask no more: "Madam is really kind to Uncle Guo."
"That's right." Uncle Su Runchen smiled triumphantly: "Okay, no more words. I'm busy, I'm busy."
Seeing Uncle Guo's energy and energy, Huang Dianji felt a little envious.
…
"Ah, cut!"
A cold sound startled the maid aside.
"Ma'am, do you have a cold?"
Xia Siqing smiled slightly: "No. I feel like someone is talking about me."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know. I used to hear my mother say that someone would be talking about something like this suddenly. I don't know whether it's true or not," Xia Siqing explained.
"Who could this be?"
"Madam, how about my servant go check it out for you?"
Seeing her maid Lianxiang about to leave, Xia Siqing stopped.
"Lianxiang, there's no need to go. It's just a trivial matter. Besides, it was said by the older generation, so you don't know if it's true or not. It's even worse if you offend someone in a while."
"Okay, that slave is not going."
At this moment, the disaster relief food located in Lenan Prefecture, Huguang Province is heading to Jiang Lai Province.
Among this second batch of disaster relief food, only the relief food from Lenan Prefecture is still on the way.
Lenan Prefecture is located in the plains, and the rice industry is considered very good in Huguang Province.
Among them, there is also a river flowing through Lenan Prefecture.
Because of such a river, an official once came here to serve as the magistrate of Lenan Prefecture. He saw that there were various farmlands on both sides of the river at that time. It would be okay if it rained frequently. But if it didn't rain for several days in a row, the common people could only carry buckets. Melons and gourds take water from rivers to irrigate farmland.
When the farmland is dry and there is no rain, in order to keep the seedlings alive, they have to carry buckets and gourds to fetch water to irrigate the farmland.
After seeing this scene, the prefect felt very considerate of the people, and then led his yamen officials to observe the terrain of the river.
As you can see, there are very high slopes on both sides of the river. Even if there is a sudden flood, it will not affect the surrounding farmland at all.
Seeing the terrain, the prefect ordered the construction of a dam upstream of the river to increase the water level. Then he asked the villagers to help the government officials dig ditches upstream, and the ditches extended to each farmland one by one.
It is then processed so that the upstream water will not increase the water level in the ditch when a flood comes, but will be released appropriately and flow towards the original river.
As for the ditches, it can be said that almost every piece of farmland is equipped with a baffle, which is closed without warning and continues to flow along other ditches. The water that does not flow to the farmland finally gathers together and flows into the river.
This approach by the prefect has improved people's livelihood and at the same time reduced the pressure on the people, so that they have more energy to care for the rice.
Therefore, after the prefect's actions, Lenan Prefecture's grain production increased until it later became the prefecture with the largest grain output in Huguang Province.
Among the food for this disaster relief, the food from Lenan Prefecture is very critical. Although it is not much, it can help Jiang Lai Prefecture.
The grain from Lenan Mansion has just passed through the middle of Jianglai and is heading towards Jinhua Mansion.
While the officers and soldiers were sitting on the carriage chatting, several arrows suddenly struck and hit several government officials.
"There's an ambush!"
When the leader shouted, all these people stopped talking, jumped out of the carriage, drew their long swords, and were ready to fight.
Just when these people couldn't see the enemy, arrows from the sky were shot over, hitting many government officials.
"careful!"
The horse was also frightened by the arrow, howling and jumping up.
I saw that half of the fifty or sixty-strong government officials were killed or wounded before they even saw the enemy.
Seeing that the arrows had been used up, the assassins just drew their long knives, covered their mouths and noses with a piece of black cloth, rushed over with murderous intent, and immediately started fighting with the government officials.
The sound of knives clashing rustled in the bamboo forest and woods, scaring away a few birds in the trees.
Soon, all the government officials were knocked down. Those who did not take the lead were still fighting desperately, but there were more than twenty assassins.
"Who are you? Why are you grabbing this relief food?" The leader of the delivery of relief food had already suffered several sword wounds.
Before he could get a big case, a sword struck him in the chest, blood spilled on the ground, and he fell to the ground.
