Chapter 129 Zhao Linger Begged Governor Shi

Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Su saw that Master Su hadn't come back, so she asked Su Yi Ning to deliver food to his father.

Su Yining found out that Master Su was with Governor Wang, so he came to them with a food box.

Master Su and Governor Wang have worked all day and are sitting on the ground to rest at the moment.

Su Yi Ning took the food box and invited them to eat.

Seeing that most of the wheat in the field had been destroyed, Su Yi Ning was also very distressed, and decided not to go back tonight, and to help everyone catch more locusts with his father and the governor.

They dug a ditch at the head of the field according to the way this afternoon, and then kept transporting firewood into the ditch to ensure that the fire would not go out.

But this requires constant cutting of firewood and trees. The farmers have almost cut down all the trees on the field, and if they want to find firewood, they have to go to the mountains ten miles away.

There are also ditches with water in them, which cannot be burned with fire. The locusts will swim from the ditch to the other side and continue to harm the crops.

Su Yining took people to the mountain to cut branches.

Zhao Ling'er waited and waited but did not see him come back, thinking that he would not be able to fall asleep waiting at home anyway, so why not go to the field to check the situation by himself, maybe he could be of help.

When Zhao Ling'er came to the field, she saw that her father and Governor Wang were still taking the lead in transporting branches, so she couldn't help but want to help.

Master Su hurriedly scolded her to go back.

Zhao Ling'er knew that he had good intentions, but seeing that there were tens of thousands of locusts in the field here, ready to gnaw the wheat over there, how could she be free.

She saw someone standing in the ditch catching locusts at the other end of the wheat field, and after thinking about it, she asked Ah Zhen to go back and send someone to drive the ducks back, and at the same time bring as much oil as she could bring .

After a while, Ah Zhen came with people and ducks.

Zhao Linger ordered people to drive the ducks into a ditch with water to help them eat the locusts.

Then pour the cotton oil brought into another section of the canal, and drive all the caught locusts into it. After a long time, the locusts will be suffocated because they cannot breathe.

Seeing the ducks and cotton oil brought by Zhao Linger, Governor Wang couldn't help saying to Mr. Su: "This daughter-in-law of your family is really different and smart!"

Master Su saw that Zhao Linger could really help a lot, so he didn't drive her home any more, but ordered the maids around her to take good care of the young mistress and not make her tired.

After a night of hard work, the number of locusts in the field has decreased a lot.At least one-third of the wheat has been kept, so it will not be out of production.But most of the ears of wheat have been eaten up by locusts. These farmers don't know how to live this year!

Zhao Linger felt dizzy, and couldn't bear it in the middle of the night, so she took Ah Zhen home together.

When he woke up, Su Yi Ning hadn't come back yet.

"This Su Yi Ning is so desperate to work!" Zhao Ling'er sighed, feeling that she was still very tired, and fell asleep again.

In the afternoon, Su Yi Ning fell asleep on the bed as soon as he came back.

Zhao Ling'er, who had already rested, quietly got out of bed, she went to the backyard to find Su Yixiang, and said: "Although many locusts have been wiped out now, they may still lay their eggs by the river, we need to find someone to quickly clear those wet places by the river. Turn over the land several times, put it on the side of the road to dry in the sun, and kill all the eggs, so as to ensure that there will be no second locust plague.”

Su Yixiang heard this, and said: "The locusts only came for a short while, and now we have almost wiped them out. How many eggs will they lay? Besides, Yunzhou City is so big and has so many ditches. Do you want to go over it again?"

Zhao Linger nodded and said: "They lay eggs very fast. The male and female locusts will lay eggs seven to ten days after mating. A female locust can lay three to five eggs in a lifetime, and each egg can have From 49 to [-] eggs, one locust can breed four to five hundred small locusts, and then lay eggs after these small locusts grow up...The consequences are really unimaginable!"

Su Yixiang smiled and said: "According to what you say, there is no cure for this migratory locust. We humans may be wiped out by this locust!"

"Oh, it's true! When Dad wakes up, tell him quickly, this is really not a trivial matter, let him quickly find someone to dig up the eggs, and all their offspring must be wiped out! "

Su Yixiang said: "Okay, okay, I will tell my father. But now I have to go to Leyouyuan Town to see how the situation is going there. By the way, your sister-in-law has been very weak these two days, Wenxuan You've been arguing with her all the time, go and help me take care of your sister-in-law when you're free."

Zhao Linger nodded in agreement, Su Yixiang had packed up and was ready to go out.

Zhao Ling'er came to Mu Yunqing's room. She had just given birth and was still very weak.

Su Wenxuan came to look for his mother, Zhao Linger pulled him aside to read with him, and asked him to be quiet for a while.

After a few minutes, the little one started crying again.

Zhao Ling'er stood up and saw that it was the baby who pulled it, so she hurriedly called the girl over to wipe the baby's buttocks and change the diaper.

Seeing that Zhao Linger was gone, Su Wenxuan ran over and grabbed Zhao Linger's clothes to let her continue reading with him.

Zhao Ling'er really felt that having two children was too noisy, and she couldn't get away at all.

She wanted to talk to Master Su about the insect eggs, so she took Wen Xuan to the backyard together.

When Mrs. Su heard that the two of them were looking for Master Su, she waved her hands and refused to let Zhao Ling'er in, and said: "He has been busy for a day and night, and he is still resting, let's talk to him after two days when he recovers. "

"But, this insect egg has been multiplying, it doesn't wait for anyone!" Zhao Linger said anxiously.

Mrs. Su shook her head, and said: "Your father is no longer a master, this kind of matter should be handled by Governor Shi! If you have any ideas, go to Shi Guangtian and tell him. Your father has no power or power now. You It's useless to tell him!"

Zhao Ling'er thought about what Mrs. Su said made sense, and after Su Wenxuan settled down, she went to the yamen to look for Shi Guangtian.

But Shi Guangtian was not in the lobby at all, and the official said that Mr. Shi was resting at home and didn't sleep well last night.

Zhao Linger thought to himself that he might have been busy killing locusts all day yesterday, and it seemed that he had to wait until tomorrow.

So, again and again, she took A Ke to the yamen to find Shi Guangtian. The strange thing is that Shi Guangtian has been closing the door to thank guests these days. She begged to see him many times, but he couldn't see him.

On this day, when she heard that Shi Guangtian's official sedan chair would pass by the Rainbow Bridge, she made up her mind to stop the sedan chair!

The streets are bustling and lively.

Zhao Linger took Ah Ke and stood on the side of the road looking around.

Pedestrians can't help but look at them as they walk up and down.

Although the streets are busy, they are very peaceful.

Suddenly, the excitement and tranquility were broken.

There was a clutter of horseshoes, and a team of cavalry appeared on the road, followed by officers and soldiers holding the words "Quiet" and "Avoidance", followed by Shi Guangtian's official sedan chair, and behind them were two neat rows of guards. After the sedan chair.A group of people were majestic and arrogantly advancing.

The horse team drove the crowd, and the officers and soldiers yelled: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't block Master Shi's way!"

Zhao Linger's expression lifted, and she became nervous all over. She hurriedly shouted to A Ke:
"Ake, I'm going out to stop the sedan chair, you wait here for me!"

Zhao Ling'er said while running out of the crowd.Ake hurriedly rushed out.

"I will go with you!"

Regardless of the officers and soldiers, Zhao Ling'er went straight to the middle of the road, cut off the officers and soldiers' progress, stopped the sedan chair, and both knelt down.

"Master Shi! The little girl has something important to tell the lord. Please get off the sedan chair and arrange a time for the little girl to tell...Master Shi! Lord Shi!"

The sedan chair was blocked and forced to stop, and the officers and soldiers rushed up viciously.

"Who? How dare you block Lord Shi's sedan chair."

"Drag her down!"

"Go away! Go away! What's the matter, go to the yamen!"

The officers and soldiers chattered and cursed at the two girls.

Ake couldn't help but yelled out:

"We've been to the yamen many times. Mr. Shi doesn't go to the yamen from morning to night. Where can we find someone?"

An officer and soldier roared and said:
"Master Shi is going to marry his daughter-in-law tomorrow, and we are extremely busy. We won't be in the yamen for a month."

When Zhao Ling'er heard that Mr. Shi would not go to the Yamen for a month, it would be a delay, so she couldn't hold back, and shouted anxiously at the sedan chair:

"Master Shi! You are the biggest official in Yunzhou City. This problem can only be solved by you. If it is not a last resort, I will not stop the sedan chair. It is really offensive to report something important. Please take out a little Time, listen to me, I really have something important to tell you..."

The officers and soldiers had already grabbed Zhao Linger and Ah Ke with all their might, and pushed them to the side of the road without any explanation.

"Could it be that Mr. Shi only cares about his own son's marriage, and doesn't care about the life and death of the people?" Zhao Ling'er stretched her neck and shouted.

With a whoosh, the car curtain lifted, and Master Shi stretched out his head.

"Zhao Ling'er? You caused me to lose 2 taels of silver, yet you dare to stop the official's sedan chair and speak wild words. Are you impatient?"

When Zhao Ling'er saw Master Shi appearing, she struggled desperately and ran back.

"My lord! You must listen to me. For the people of Yunzhou City, you will not regret it... Please give me a little time, just a little bit..."

"Who has time to listen to your storytelling? Are you bored?" Lord Shi turned his head and shouted at the officers and soldiers, "Don't delay! Take the sedan chair back home!"

Master Shi retreated into the sedan chair, which was lifted up quickly, and the brigade immediately shouted "Avoid! Be quiet!" and moved forward.

Zhao Ling'er and A Ke were pushed by the officers and soldiers, and both fell to the side of the road.

The onlookers hurriedly helped the two of them up.An old man shook his head and said with a sigh:

"If you have any grievances, it's useless to stop the sedan chair. You still need to find someone to introduce you."

Zhao Ling'er was thrown into a dizzy state, and Ah Ke hurriedly supported the young mistress and asked:

"What's the matter with Mr. Shi? His son will marry a wife tomorrow, and he won't be able to go to the yamen for a month. How can we explain the matter to him face to face? Young Mistress, you are still pregnant, and you fell down again just now. , I think we should go home first. Master Shi doesn’t care, so why don’t we ask Governor Wang to find a way.”

Zhao Linger sighed:
"Governor Wang has no power anymore. He can't influence so many people. Only Mr. Shi will come forward to completely stop the breeding of insect eggs in this matter."

Looking at the disappearing guards and sedan chairs, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help sighing.After a while, she straightened her clothes, pulled herself together, and said firmly:

"Don't be discouraged, Ake, I can definitely find a way to meet Master Shi! If I don't see you, I'll think of another way!" As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up, "His family is going to have a wedding tomorrow. You can’t drive the guest out of the door, can you?”

"Young Mistress, you mean..."

"Prepare a congratulatory gift, we will go to Shifu tomorrow to congratulate!"

Zhao Linger didn't know that her decision determined her fate.Because, at this wedding, she will meet another woman, her name is Huang Feiyan.

Huang Feiyan is a small person among all living beings in Yunzhou City.Just this year.

On the night when Zhao Linger stopped the sedan chair, Huang Feiyan wore a "night suit" and climbed into the wall of a family's house.The family was going to marry their daughter the next day, and it was time to marry into Shifu.

In Huang Feiyan's language, she is going to "walk around" to see if there is anything "available"!The bride must have a lot of dowry, and she is marrying into the Shifu, so if she doesn't take it for nothing, she won't take it!She climbed into the wall and began to look through the windows one by one.

She went outside the bride's window and heard a whimpering sobbing.She licked the window paper and looked inside. It was okay if she didn't look at it, but she turned pale with shock when she saw that the bride was crawling on a stool with her neck stuck into a white coil, kicked over the chair and hanged herself!She forgot that she would expose Xingzang, and also forgot her purpose, without thinking, she pushed the window, walked in through the window, and yelled:
"It's bad! The bride hanged herself!"

The wedding in Shifu was very lively.

That day, Zhao Ling'er put on men's clothes and pretended to be a scholar, and Ah Ke was a servant.

What a grand wedding.The two of them smoothly followed the group of congratulators and entered the gate of Shifu.

Blowing and beating, drums and music are loud.The bride was carried through the door by a gorgeous sedan chair.

Zhao Ling'er endured it, and with great difficulty, she waited until the bride, Feng Guanxia, ​​entered the door, knelt down and kowtowed to heaven and earth, and helped her into the bridal chamber. Only then did Master Shi come down from the "Gao Tang" seat, and his arrogant son Shi Jinhong greeted the guests with a smile on his face.Zhao Ling'er thought to herself, this opportunity cannot be let go any longer, so she mixed in the crowd and walked towards Lord Shi.

"Master Shi..." Zhao Linger tugged at Shi Guangtian's sleeve.

"You are..." Shi Guangtian looked at Zhao Linger inexplicably.

Zhao Linger looked around the noisy surroundings.

"Master Shi, I'm Zhao Ling'er, it's too noisy here, can you find a quiet place to talk?"

"Zhao Ling'er?" Shi Guangtian frowned, and said, "What are you doing here? Don't you think it's not enough to hurt me? You also held the conference and got the money. I didn't get anything, and I caused a disaster. You Don't bother me in the future, I don't want to see you again!"

At this time, Shi Guangtian's son excitedly led an old man over and pushed Zhao Ling'er away.

"Father, Lord Zhao is here!"

Master Shi was pleasantly surprised, and rushed forward to meet him.

Zhao Linger did not give up and followed behind Master Shi, step by step.I was really in a hurry, so I was not very polite when I said:

"Lord Shi, if you don't go to the yamen as an errand, it's so difficult to talk to you at your house. Don't you care about the people's feelings at all?"

Master Shi was annoyed: "Zhao Ling'er, today is my son's big day. Let's talk about what you have to do. If you continue to make trouble here, I will send someone to arrest you. Don't think that your father-in-law is a master. I won't let you go!" If you dare to catch you, do it yourself!"
