Eldest daughter

Chapter 456 No One Available
The news of the Shanjiao in Changle Town flew out as if it had grown wings.

Wang Yuan'er didn't care about being sad after hearing the news, and sent people back to the town to find out the news, and also restrained the servants in the courtyard, not to discuss with outsiders about Wang Qing'er's fairy boy's warning.

After giving the instructions, I respectfully worshiped a stick of incense in front of the Bodhisattva seat, and silently prayed to God to bless this natural disaster in my heart.

"Second Grandma, Mrs. Hou is here." Xia He led Wang Chun'er into the house.

"Elder Sister." Wang Chun'er's face was full of tears, and her bun was a little disheveled. When she saw Wang Yuan'er, she cried again: "Our town is really flooded. Our family is gone, woo woo."
Wang Yuan'er's eyes were red, she sniffed her nose, and said, "I know all about it, look at you, you're a mother, and you're still crying like this. Xia He, go fetch some water and serve Mrs. Hou to clean her face."

Xia He bent her knees and agreed.

Wang Yuan'er pulled Wang Chun'er again and said, "Don't worry, most of the people in this town have relocated according to the emperor's decree, and the neighbors in the village should be fine. As for the home... the water will recede, and it will definitely be rebuilt. You Do not worry."

Wang Chun'er cried and shook her head: "Sister, I don't care about others, but Jiu'er's father didn't come over yesterday. He, he's still in Changle Town!"

Wang Yuaner's expression changed.

"Now that I'm sick, I don't know if he's alright. Is he alright? Sister, I can't let go of this. I, I, I'm going to find him." Wang Chun'er stood up.

"Nonsense!" Wang Yuan'er pressed her down and scolded, "You little woman, how do you find it? There is water everywhere, where do you go to find it? Also, what are you going to do with the children?"

Wang Chun'er was startled, and cried, "Eldest sister, is it just waiting like this? I'm afraid, elder sister!"

"What are you afraid of? Eldest sister is here." Wang Yuan'er comforted her, and when Xia He came in with water in her hands, she said, "Clean your face first, I sent Yuan Dazhi back to check for news, how about I notify you as soon as there is news? "

Wang Chun'er sobbed and agreed, followed Xia He to wash her face, and Wang Yuan'er sent someone to call Yuan Dazhi again, carefully instructing him to look for Hou Biao.

After returning to the room, Wang Chun'er had washed and washed again and was sitting on the couch, weeping blankly, seeing Wang Yuan'er coming in, she immediately wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Sit down." Wang Yuan'er waved his hand, and sat on the couch, leaning on the big pillow, and said, "I have already ordered you to go down, and I will notify you when I have news. You should be tough anyway, and the children are still relying I'm following you!"

Wang Chun'er's tears came again, and she hurriedly wiped them off, saying, "I'm just worried, if something bad happens to him, I, I won't be able to live."

"Jing nonsense, what's good or not, you don't want to live or not?" Wang Yuan'er scolded, her face full of hostility.

Wang Chun'er shrank her neck and said loudly, "Eldest sister..."

"Relax your mind and go back and take care of the children carefully. Hou Biao is not a frail scholar, he will take good care of himself." Wang Yuan'er persuaded with a tired face.

Wang Chun'er saw her tired face and lack of energy, so she hurriedly agreed, and said worriedly: "Eldest sister, I understand. But elder sister, you look so ugly, do you want to call a doctor to come and take a look?"

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare yesterday and didn't sleep well." Wang Yuan'er frowned and said.

Wang Chun'er opened his mouth, and said for a while, "Eldest sister, you have to take good care of yourself. Now that brother-in-law is out to control the water, if you fall down, we really have no backbone!"

Wang Yuaner showed a smile uglier than crying, and hummed.

After Wang Chun'er left, Mrs. Cheng and others came over to comfort Wang Yuaner. After all, it was her mother's hometown that caused the disaster, so she wanted to comfort her, but Wang Yuaner had something on her mind, and she was not in the mood to socialize with them. Just sent away.

This Mrs. Cheng is also very sensible, before leaving, she said one more thing, just speak out if you need help, no matter whether she is sincere or not, Wang Yuaner still accepts this intention.
……

After waiting anxiously for two days, Wang Yuan'er still did not receive Cui Yuan's letter, and was even more worried, but Yuan Dazhi came back to report the news.
In the main room of Qinghui Courtyard, Wang Yuan'er was listening to Yuan Dazhi's reply, her face was gloomy and extremely ugly.

"...Second uncle is doing well, now he is helping people resettle those disaster victims, let the young one come back and report to grandma and Mrs. Hou, and relax." Yuan Dazhi first talked about Hou Biao's safety, and Wang Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief .

"...The scope of this waterlogging is very wide. Changle Town not only has mountain floods, but the water level of the Changle River has also overflowed due to the heavy rainstorm. It collided with the flood from the mountain and flooded more than half of the town. , The houses are basically soaked in the water, some people are waist deep, and the lower ones are already overdone."

Yuan Dazhi's face turned pale, and he said with trembling lips: "There are also many surrounding farmlands, all of which are flooded and full of water. On the way to the capital, the water level in some places reached calf height, and many refugees rushed to the capital. "

"Have all the people in Changle Town moved out?" Wang Yuan'er's face was a little gloomy.

"Most of them have already moved away, and there are a few families who are unwilling to move. As a result..." Yuan Dazhi thought of what he saw, his face was very ugly, and said: "The people who have not moved away all ran to the mountains. , Some people couldn't escape, they were all swept away by the mountain torrent, and it is estimated that dozens of people died, including children."

Wang Yuan'er closed his eyes, feeling as if something was blocked in his heart, and said: "This year's waterlogging is a bit more serious, and I'm afraid nothing will get better in the village. Go down and rest first, there are still many things to come back. Things need to be dealt with. Go back to Bali Hutong and report the news about the second uncle to the second aunt in person."

Yuan Dazhi bowed and retreated in response.

Wang Yuaner sat slumped on the couch with an extremely ugly expression.

"Grandma, take a sip of tea first to be sure." Dongxue offered a cup of jujube tea over.

Wang Yuan'er took it, took a sip and asked, "Is there any news from Madam Rong Yi?"

Dong Xue whispered: "A young eunuch was sent over, saying that the emperor heard the news from Changle Town, and immediately went to visit and comfort Madam Rongyi. Madam said that everything is fine with her, let grandma Don't worry, let grandma take care of herself."

Wang Yuan'er let out a sigh of relief, and said, "I can feel at ease with your mother now, but it's your second master..."
"Go and call Nanny Zhong." She wrinkled her brows and ordered after a while.

This time when Cui Yuan went out, she drove Qiu He and Chen Shu to follow him, both of them were capable, now when they go out, there are fewer good people to inquire about the news.

It seems that I am still a bit poor in the arrangement of manpower. Once something happens, I feel that I can't use it. If I want to inquire about some news or do something, there is no one available.

After a while, Nanny Zhong came in, bowed her knees and saluted Wang Yuaner.

"You don't need to be too polite, mother, sit down." Wang Yuan'er pointed to the scorpion under the kang and said.

Nanny Zhong thanked her and sat sideways.
"Second master hasn't sent a letter for a few days. I'm really worried and uneasy in my heart. Mommy, your family has been in Beijing for a long time. How about letting your eldest son go out to find out the news?" Wang Yuan'er said straight to the point.

Cui Yuan was in his teens and wandered around with Emperor Jing. Apart from the bodyguard Qiu He and the servant Chen Shu, Cui Yuan had to use his side. With a Zhuangzi.

As soon as Mother Zhong heard this, her heart became active, and she said: "Second Mistress ordered me to come down, and this servant dare not disobey. I'll go back and ask him to come here as an servant."

This is the time to employ people. If they are appreciated, even if the boss can't move his position in the future, the grandchildren should have a future!
"No rush. Your grandson will be [-] this year, right?" Wang Yuan'er thought for a while and asked.

"If you go back to grandma, you will be twelve in two days. The boy is very wild, and he will run out every three days." Zhong Nanny replied.

Wang Yuan'er smiled, and said, "You little boy, how can you be trapped? You go and call him, I also have something to ask him to run errands."

Grandma Zhong's eyes lit up, she responded repeatedly, and happily went home to call someone.

Wang Yuaner sat blankly on the couch thinking about something.

What is it that made Cui Yuan not send a letter for so many days? What went wrong?Or because of something else?

Even if something went wrong, there should be some news.

After Nana's sitting for a long time, Nanny Zhong led her son Zhong Wei and grandson Zhong Xiaobao to kowtow to Wang Yuaner.

Wang Yuan'er cried out, and looked carefully at Zhong Wei, he was tall and simple-faced, compared to Chen Shu, he couldn't be called shrewd.

Wang Yuan'er asked him a few words, and when he heard that he was also familiar with several managers, his eyes lit up, and he sent him to find out the news.

Looking at Zhong Xiaobao again, his eyes were rolling around, and he looked very clever. Wang Yuan'er smiled and asked him how old he was this year, how literate he was, and whether he had ever read, and he recognized them one by one.

"Here is ten taels of silver. You can take it and play in various restaurants and teahouses. Wherever there are many people, you can gather there. Collect all the news you can hear and tell me later, especially the second master's water control. You have to pay attention to the matter, and never say a word." Wang Yuan'er smiled and handed out a purse.

Dong Xue took a purse and stuffed it into Zhong Xiaobao's hand.

Zhong Xiaobao looked down at the green purse embroidered with begonias in his hand, tilted his head and asked, "Will all the money here be spent by me?"

"Little Treasure, call yourself a slave." Nanny Zhong scolded lightly.

Zhong Xiaobao stuck out his tongue.

"It doesn't matter." Wang Yuan'er waved his hand, and smiled gently: "You spend all the money here, you just go to be the god of ear reward."

"Okay!" Zhong Xiaobao put the purse into his arms with a smile.
Grandma Zhong was both happy and sad. The happy thing was that her grandson was going to get an errand, and when he was done, he would be in the eyes of grandma. A future could not be escaped. The worry was that his grandson would make a mistake in this job. I lost my mind.

Immediately, after she came out from Wang Yuaner's side, she pulled her grandson along and gave them careful instructions.
