The embankment burst and flooded the entire village.
Fortunately, the nearby villagers had already expected it, so they all hid in the mountains, and no one was washed away by the flood.
Halfway up the mountain, the place where you can easily see the entire village, is now full of villagers.
Ruoxuan, Xuanyuan Que, and Mrs. Lei got off the carriage and walked over directly.
Ruoxuan saw the raging floods wash away a mud-brick house, and then the house crashed into another adobe house, and then the adobe house also fell down. Then the two houses were rushed forward by the flood and knocked down one after another. Two or three houses.
Those whose houses fell down could not help but kneel on the ground and cry!
"Oh my God! I can't live without this..."
Everyone felt sad and anxious.
Many people knelt on the ground and prayed to God that their homes would be okay.
Ruoxuan turned to look at her house. Fortunately, it was still there!
Mrs. Lei was worried when she saw this: "When will the flood recede? Don't knock down everyone's houses!"
Shopkeeper Gu: "It shouldn't be that fast. The house will collapse easily if it is soaked in water for a long time."
The village chief's wife nodded: "It will take three or more days anyway. We have to wait until all the water upstream has flowed down before the water on our side can recede. Otherwise, water will continue to come."
Mrs. Lei: "I'm really worried! The house has been soaked for so long, and the east and west wings of my house are made of adobe and they will easily collapse."
After hearing this, Ruoxuan comforted her and said, "Grandma, don't be afraid. That's right. Xuanbao will build you a new house. It will be more beautiful than the general's mansion."
Magistrate Zhang was helping Mrs. Xuanyuan come over. The people were in dire straits. Mrs. Xuanyuan couldn't sit still in the house, so she came out to take a look.
As for County Magistrate Zhang, he was here because Mrs. Xuanyuan was here. He was worried that the embankment would burst and something would happen to the ancestor. He arranged everything and rushed over to accompany her.
Mrs. Xuanyuan listened to Xiuxuan's words as soon as she approached. She smiled kindly and said to Magistrate Zhang, "This child Xuanbao is really well-behaved and filial."
Magistrate Zhang nodded, he also liked Xuan Bao very much.
Mrs. Lei was also warmed by her granddaughter. She smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, grandma. Xuan Bao is so good and filial. Grandma is waiting for Xuan Bao to build a beautiful big house for grandma."
The village chief's wife also praised: "Xuan Bao is really good and filial. Sister-in-law Lei, just wait and enjoy the blessings from now on!"
There were many villagers standing around them, and everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Build a house more beautiful than the general's mansion?
It's just nonsense!
Zhen Hu has read books and knows that houses have regulations. Not just cats and dogs are qualified to live in a house like the General's Mansion.
He sneered: "Ignorant idiot! Let's not say that your family is so poor. Do you have the money to build a new house? Besides, if you want to build a mansion more beautiful than the general's mansion, are you qualified? Don't even think about it in this life!"
Daniel: "Her family is so poor and miserable that she can't even afford food, and of course she can't build a house! It's just bragging!"
Daniel's mother: "Oh, Daniel, you don't know, Xuan Bao's family has made a lot of money selling wild bamboo shoots! Maybe they can really build a big house like the General's Mansion and dream of being a general, haha !”
Baocai's wife: "Mrs. Lei, even if the child is ignorant, you don't teach her? You are not qualified to live in a house like the General's Mansion. That is where only generals can live. You are just common people. If you have money, you You can’t afford to build it or live in it, let alone you don’t have that much money. But you can dream! There is everything in your dream. Don’t say such ridiculous things in the future!”
The four-year-old Baocai thought of what his mother had said before and followed suit: "You weaklings don't accept the wild bamboo shoots from our family. You have a black heart and rotten intestines. There will be retribution. Even if you sell the wild bamboo shoots, you won't be able to grow them." Da, want to build a house, dream!”
Daniel's father: "It's not impossible to build a general's mansion. Wouldn't a general's mansion made of paper be enough? Right!"
"Haha... should you live with a dead weak old man..."
"Haha." Everyone around couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
After hearing what the villagers said, Mrs. Xuanyuan's graceful and kind face turned sharp.
She said to Magistrate Zhang beside her: "Xuan Bao has made great achievements, shouldn't there be a reward from the government?"
"Wei Chen has already requested the emperor's order."
"The emperor's reward is too late. Give the house on Jingfu Street in the county to the weak family!"
Magistrate Zhang was surprised: "Old madam, that mansion is..."
Mrs. Xuanyuan interrupted him: "What's the matter? I can't even reward you with a house?"
"I don't dare." It's just that the empress of the mansion hinted to the emperor many times that she wanted to go there and give it to the uncle.
"Why don't you tell the weak people?"
".yes!"
Only now did County Magistrate Zhang know that the old lady could be so willful!
And being willful is not ordinary expensive.
Mrs. Lei in the crowd was furious when she heard this: "Whether we build a house or not, or what kind of house we build, does it have anything to do with you? Even if we don't build my house, it's still bigger than yours! I think you should talk less and accumulate more blessings." Come on! Otherwise you won’t be able to live in a big house in your next life!”
Ruoxuan glanced at their faces and said honestly: "It's true that we can't afford to live there. Even our descendants can't afford it."
Is this cursing them to be poor for three generations?
Several people were angry!
Treasure his milk: "Who are you cursing! Three generations of your talented descendants cannot afford to live in a big house!"
Xiuxuan was very innocent: "I didn't curse you! I just told the truth. I wanted to curse you, but that's not the case. You can't bear my curse."
Baocai's milk: "Bah, I didn't expect to have such a vicious heart at such a young age! He can also curse people! Mother Lei, remember to teach your granddaughter to control her mouth. The more she sins, the less the blessings will be. Still want to live there? It’s a big house, I’m afraid her life will be shortened!”
Zhen Hu: "Smelly girl, I will take the No. 1 exam in the future, and I will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future. Not to mention a house as big as the General's Mansion! I can afford it even bigger than the General's Mansion! Be careful, don't you dare? Curse me, offend me, and I will make you miserable in the future!"
Mrs. Xuanyuan came closer and snorted coldly: "If you are the number one scholar and the prime minister, then the Xuanyuan Kingdom will be destroyed!"
"Who are you! I will be the first to be prime minister." I'll deal with you!
Zhen Hu turned his head and took a look, and found that the other person had an extraordinary bearing, and the clothes on his body were the best he had ever seen, and there was a maid standing behind him. He shut up and did not dare to say the last three words.
When Daniel saw Old Madam Xuanyuan, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why are you so serious about what a child said? Xuan Bao said that building a house as big as the General's Mansion should be treated as a joke! Mother Lei We are all joking! Don’t blame me!”
Baocai Tainai: "No, it's all a joke! Don't be angry, Mrs. Lei. It's good for Xuan Bao to have ambitions! In the future, she will marry a guard of the General's Mansion and take you over to live there for a while. You can be considered as living here. It’s a big house in the General’s Mansion, don’t you think so?”
Mrs. Lei was almost furious. She said "Bah!" and was about to curse back. At this time, a government official came over and said loudly: "Is the weak family here?"
