The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 57 Water Lotus

Shen Ge was also thinking about this question. It was the same group of people who chased and killed Uncle and An Ziyuan, that is to say, Uncle and An Ziyuan might know each other, and when Uncle woke up, he had to ask him carefully.

"Stop the boat—"

"Help me—"

"Help me—"

Hearing the cry for help, the three people in the house turned their heads to look at the window.The son ran over and was about to open the window when Uncle Ma shouted, "Don't open the window, beware of fraud. You stay here to watch over your brother, and I'll go over to see if the old man is awake. Don't be afraid, there are dozens of people on the Lin family boat. Escorts and guards can protect the ship."

"Third uncle also be more careful." Shen Ge warned.

After Uncle Ma left, the son who was guarding the window ran back to the bed and whispered, "It sounds like someone in the water wants to get on the boat again. This is the sixth wave today."

When the people whose homes were destroyed by the flood saw the big boat, they would regard it as a savior, and jumped into the water desperately to board the boat.But no matter how big these two ships are, how many refugees can they hold?
Shen Ge closed his eyes, "Second Uncle Lin will deal with it properly, let's not talk too much."

"Yeah." Thinking of all the floating corpses floating on the water, Shengzi sniffled, thankful again that his brothers in Wusha Town had left early.

I don't know if the dog's legs are better...

"Brother Chen, the medicine is ready." Amidst the noise outside the ship, Dafu's shout was particularly sweet.

Shengzi hurriedly ran to open the door, took the medicine bowl in Dafu's hand, "Brother Dafu, come in quickly."

Dafu entered the room and pulled up a small stool, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shen Ge.

Shen Ge didn't ask why he had already drank the medicine just now, and now he had another bowl, brought it over and drank it in one gulp, and then said, "Dafu, go do your work, I'm fine here."

Dafu sat still, "Da Furen asked me to guard you."

Dafu is a straightforward person who admits death, and he listens to Mrs. Lin and his second sister the most. Since Mrs. Lin asked him to come, no matter what he says, he will not leave.Shen Ge asked, "Are Aunt and Second Sister okay?"

Dafu nodded, "Okay."

The two stared at each other in silence, and when the shouting outside stopped, Shen Ge asked curiously, "Dafu, what were you thinking when you were shooting?"

Dafu thought carefully for a long time, and said truthfully, "Shooting an arrow."

"Ha ha……"

Shen Ge laughed happily, "You're right, when you shoot an arrow, you don't think about it, what else can you think about it?"

"Second Master ordered someone to throw a few packs of dry food down for the people in the water, we can't take any more people on board." The servant girl Yunjuan told Lin Ruyu about the situation outside.

Yunjuan and Lan Que, who died at the foot of Matou Mountain, are both Lin Ruyu's personal maids.When Lin Ruyu left the house with her mother, she only brought her nanny and Lan Que with her. When Second Master Lin got the news and went out to look for someone, he brought Yun Juan with him.

The area affected by the flood is very large. They only have two boats, and the number of people who can rescue them is limited.The second uncle threw dry food to the people in the water, and he did his best.Lin Ruyu continued to ask about the situation at home, "What did you tell the outside when you came out?"

Yun Juan replied, "After the second master received the news that the second housekeeper sent someone to send it back, he immediately found someone to find the boat, using the name of the medicinal material delivery."

It was the same in memory, Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes and asked again, "Is the eldest aunt in our house?"

Yunjuan replied, "My aunt has been back for three days, and Master Zhisheng and Biao Yuzhen are also here, and Biao Yuzhen lives in the Yuanhua Courtyard."

The Yuanhua Courtyard is her own courtyard, as expected...it is exactly the same as the previous life, Lin Ruyu's eyes are cold.

Her grandfather had three daughters, two concubines and one concubine, both of whom were married in Xuanzhou.When the grandfather was sick in bed, he gave the seal of the head of the house to his mother.Since then, the eldest aunt, who always disliked her, offered to marry Lin Ruyu into the Zhang family and be her daughter-in-law.

Her mother knew exactly what she was planning, so she shelved the matter on the grounds that she had to wait for her father to return from the sea, and then the matter of Matou Mountain came out.

In the previous life, after Lin Ruyu was brought back to Xuanzhou by An Ziyuan, the eldest aunt used many tricks to force her to marry Zhang Zhisheng, but they were no match for An Ziyuan.

Then, I don't know what method An Ziyuan used to win over the eldest aunt's family, and asked the eldest aunt and Zhang Yuzhen to help An Ziyuan deceive himself.

Lin Ruyu thought about it these days, and felt that the person who poisoned her mother chronically in her previous life was most likely her eldest aunt or her good daughter Zhang Yuzhen.

I only hate that I was too stupid and blind in my previous life, and couldn't see through anything.

This time without An Ziyuan, she wanted to see how the eldest aunt's family would act like a monster.

Lin Ruyu ordered, "My mother hasn't had a good rest these days, you ask Aunt Quan to go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available, and make a nourishing soup for my mother."

Aunt Quan's name is Qiuxiu, she is Fang's dowry maid, she was pointed out by Fang to her husband's capable steward Lin Quan as his wife, and became Fang's most capable steward's daughter-in-law, this time she also came out with the boat to find someone.

"Yes." Yunjuan agreed, looking at the girl's haggard appearance, she said distressedly, "Madam has ordered the kitchen to make wolfberry and bird's nest soup for you, and the girl should also make it up, the dye on the girl's face..."

Lin Ruyu raised her hand and touched the birthmark on her right eye, "It's not urgent, we'll talk about it when we get back to the mansion. You should also go and tell Uncle and Shen Ge to take care of it."

In the evening of that day, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the rain that had stopped for less than half a day fell again.

Listening to the rain on the boat is completely different from listening to the rain in the temple. Lin Ruyu gently opened the window and looked out.The surface of this river is fairly clean, and the rapidly falling raindrops smashed water lotus flowers on the surface of the river, which is extremely beautiful.

After staring at the water lotus for a while, Lin Ruyu looked up into the distance.

After passing through this mountain, it's time to go to Xiacai.

If there is no rain or flood and floating objects to block, a big ship like the Lin family can sail at night, but now it can't.So tonight, does the big ship have to berth at the pier in Xiacai and spend the night?

Lin Ruyu thought for a moment, and decided to discuss it with her mother and second uncle.

Second Uncle Lin said, "I have to spend the night in Xiacai. Although Xiacai is in disaster, the county government is still there, and the wharf is patrolled by officers and soldiers. It is much safer than the wilderness."

Lin Ruyu asked, "Second Uncle rested at Xiacai's pier last night?"

Second Uncle Lin smiled and shook his head, "I was in a hurry to find you. I bought some food in Xiacai and didn't stop all night, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the foot of Guanyin Temple this morning."

Lin Ruyu was so moved that she became star-eyed, "Second Uncle has worked hard."

Second Uncle Lin grinned, "I know Second Uncle has worked hard, so I'll wait for your father to come back, and Jiaojiao will speak kindly for Second Uncle in front of him."

Lin Ruyu straightened her waist, "Second Uncle, don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders, and I will take care of my father's request to Second Uncle!"

Second Uncle Lin smiled when he heard that, "Sure enough, Jiaojiao understands Second Uncle's mind best."

Fang said with a smile, "Tonight, let's spend the night at Xiacai Wharf."

Lin Ruyu and her mother smiled, and they wanted to go together.If An Ziyuan wanted to find trouble, it was much safer for them to park at Xiacai Wharf than to park in the wild or drive overnight.

Coincidentally, they can also send someone to inquire about An Ziyuan's details.
