Chapter 159 Floods
Chen Baiwei has been very irritable recently, and he doesn't know which god he has offended. Not only can he not please King Qi, but the house is also a mess.

I don't know some wicked ghost compiled a book manuscript, and now people are talking about this book in several teahouses and restaurants.The content mentioned in it is common in the book, and it can also make people laugh. If the characters are not too similar to the setting of the Chen family, people have to think that this manuscript is alluding to the Chen family, and he can also listen to it.

But God knows, except that the characters set in the book are similar to the Chen family, the content in it is mostly nonsense. Although the Chen family also has various problems, under the eyes of the old lady, it is still clean compared to other houses.

It's just that people who have seen the manuscript always put all the filth in the manuscript on the Chen family, and even he couldn't help thinking, could it be that the Chen family's lack of heirs for generations was caused by the restlessness in the back house?
Especially before Chen Wenzhi was ill in bed for a long time, but his life was saved by a pair of poison.

Chen Baiwei pondered for a long time, and recalled in his mind who he had offended. After much deliberation, no matter what the inside of the Chen family looked like, the Chen family was also a charitable family on the surface. Could it be that the conspiracy between the Chen family and the prince was known, and wrote The purpose of publishing this manuscript is to tarnish the reputation of the Chen family, so that the crown prince will despise the Chen family?

But if someone really wants to destroy the cooperation between the Chen family and the prince, they will not be ordinary literati, otherwise, if they are found out, no one can bear the anger of the prince alone.What's more, their conspiracy is too vicious, and if they really find out who it is, they can't keep alive just in case.

It's just that, in this land, there are not many people who have this motive. If King Qi knew about this, he would not make a public announcement, but would do it secretly.

However, this also reminded Chen Baiwei, maybe the Chen family has been a bit high-profile recently, if it is really caught by King Qi to listen to Datian, it is not just the Chen family who can't eat, and even the prince will not even think about it. get away.

Thinking about the nursing home that was sent out to monitor Fatty Zhang, it has been so long that there is no news of whether he is dead or alive, which is really worrying.It's hard for him to pretend to be stupid in front of King Qi. It would be a shame if he attracted King Qi's attention because of a mistake in the guard.

Thinking back carefully on his performance in front of King Qi, although it was remarkable, there were no loopholes. He thought that his sudden request for disaster relief was not because he was suspicious of the Chen family and the prince.

Chen Baiwei heaved a sigh of relief for a while, and he was relieved for a while, and the ups and downs of his mood were very tossing.

At this time, Chen Wenzhi came in from the outside. These days, Chen Wenzhi wandered around the county town with his two followers all day long. He was a little bit too happy to play, but suddenly he felt bored when he came home, let alone study medical books with peace of mind.

Because he has been ill for many years, Mrs. Chen also loves this great-grandson too much. Since he doesn't like reading, then he won't read. At worst, he can cultivate a few people around him who can support him. Maybe in a few years, when he grows up When you are an adult, you have to give birth to a child and cultivate it well from an early age.

Originally, Mrs. Chen wanted Chen Wenzhi to marry Jiang Yunqian. When a woman married a man, she would naturally think of her husband's family wholeheartedly. No one reassured her more than marrying a new wife.

As Jiang Fang's talent, even if Jiang Yunqian is not a talented woman, she should be able to read, but whoever wants to marry Jiang Yunhe, not only can't read a few big characters, but also can be even more stupid, thinking about it all day long. , It really made her regret it, but it was impossible, and now she couldn't let it go, so she could only think about finding another chance for Chen Wenzhi to marry a concubine.

As for Chen Wenzhi, he always used the excuse of being weak, and never refused to be harsh. Although Chen Baiwei was angry that his son could not be supported by the mud, he was helpless. His grandmother was always strong and his wife was protecting him. He was also very helpless towards Chen Wenzhi.

It's just that every time I see Chen Wenzhi, I can't help shaking my head, and Chen Wenzhi also knows that his father doesn't want to see him, so he rarely goes to him except to say hello in the morning and evening.

But today, it was the first time that Chen Wenzhi came to look for Chen Baiwei first after he came back from outside, and it made Chen Baiwei feel a 'thump' in his heart, wondering if this kid had caused some trouble outside again.

After Chen Wenzhi entered the door, he greeted Ann first, and then stared at Chen Baiwei non-stop, making 'tsk tsk' sounds from time to time. That half-smile made Chen Baiwei's nose crooked in anger. This is the way a son looks at his father. ?It's like a dude looking at a woman from a good family.

"What's your look?"

Chen Wenzhi seemed to have just realized that there was something wrong with his eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, but his words were gloating, "Father, my son just heard a joke at the market and thought it was funny, so he couldn't help but want to ask his father. "

Chen Baiwei didn't need to think about it to know that the joke must be related to him, otherwise Chen Wenzhi wouldn't have come to look at him eagerly. As for the nonsense in those manuscripts, he had someone find a complete copy, which is really not glorious. Yes, afraid that Chen Wenzhi would say something that would embarrass him, he stared at him, "You can listen to what the market says? Where have you read all your books? Go back and copy the classics of Materia Medica."

Thinking of that thick book, the corners of Chen Wenzhi's mouth twitched, he knew that his father would be furious, why bother to come here and make himself feel uncomfortable?But just copy it, and he doesn't need to do it anyway.

Seeing his son leaving with his sleeves shaken, Chen Baiwei really felt everything in his heart. He even hated the person who wrote such immoral manuscripts to insinuate the Chen family. He came here from other places to frame him. Since there are manuscripts, are you afraid that you won't be able to find anyone by looking at the handwriting?
As soon as Chen Baiwei gave an order, the servants in the mansion ran out to collect the manuscripts of local literati, but they couldn't find out who wrote it, especially Jiang Fang, who was the most suspicious.Whoever made the Chen family want to force Jiang Yunqian to offend Jiang Fang, and Jiang Fang is more talented than others, it is really possible that such a manuscript was written by him.

Fortunately, Jiang Fang's handwriting is easy to get. Back then, he wrote many announcements for the court, and he could see them wherever he went.

But after comparison, the characters on the manuscript are beautiful and round, and compared with Jiang Fang's vigorous and powerful characters, it is known that they are not written by the same person. Could it be that he wrote them and had them copy a few copies before spreading them?But without evidence, he can't casually accuse a person of fame. Who knows whether Jiang Fang will get fame after his leg heals. He must not offend too much, and Chen Baiwei fell into the fog again.

Compared to Chen Baiwei's confusion and anger, the life of the Jiang family is also very depressing.I haven't received a letter from Jiang Xing's family for several days. The family is very worried, but now there is chaos everywhere due to the drought. If you go to Beijing, you may be ransacked before you reach the capital. Safety, the letter was not delivered in time.

It's one thing to think about it, but you can't rest assured, especially Jiang Yunqian, who has never seen her eldest brother since she was reborn, not only the fate of the people at home has changed because of her, even Jiang Xing's family has also embarked on a different path from the previous life In the previous life, Jiang Xing's family had never been to the capital. She didn't dare to guarantee that Jiang Xing's family, who had been poor and safe in her previous life, would be safe in this life. She was more anxious than others.

But no matter how anxious you are, you have to live day by day. Everyone knows that it is not wise to go to Beijing at this time.

With the arrival of a heavy rain, the people who had been looking forward to the rain for more than half a year were all boiling. Some even had serious water shortages in their homes and took various water containers to catch the rain outside.Many people even ran and cheered in the heavy rain regardless of the wetness and coldness of the rain.

On the first day, the dry and curled leaves stretched out in the rain, and the crops that survived the drought were also glowing green. Everyone was talking about planting a sprig of potatoes after the heavy rain stopped, at least until winter Can't go hungry after that.

The next day, the rainwater that failed to infiltrate the dry and agglomerated land in time has filled the river ditches, and the low-lying villages have been submerged in water. The people who were surprised by the heavy rain were worried. He moved to the shed built outside the town without his belongings.

On the third day, Jiang Yunqian watched the servants keep scooping water out of the yard. Although Liujiayu was fortunate that the terrain was so high that it would not be flooded, it was still possible that the rain was too heavy and the water could not be scooped out in time. It was poured into the house, and other places with low terrain may have been flooded.

Fortunately, according to the memory of the previous life, this heavy rain only lasted for three days, and it should stop tomorrow, but under such heavy rain, the disaster along the river is also known to be serious. It is Liujiayu, the servant who listened to the rain and went out to inquire about the news Come back and say that the originally gentle river washed away the trees that came down from the mountain, not only destroyed a lot of crops, but also destroyed a few houses. Fortunately, King Qi had thought carefully before, and on the second day of heavy rain, those families had already moved away. , and now they all live in the homes of good friends in the village.

As for Jiangwang Village, the road was difficult to walk in the first place, but a heavy rain immediately blocked the road, and no one knew what was going on inside.

But in Jiangwang Village, except for Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Hong's family, there was no one to be relocated, and no one was really worried about that family except Jiang Fang.

Three days passed quickly, and when the rain stopped, the originally dry and hard land was soaked and muddy.

Even in Liujiayu, there is water in many places, and the deepest part of the town has already lost people's waists. The situation in the downstream is unknown, but everyone knows that the situation is not optimistic. Let more people survive the disaster brought about by this heavy rain.

When it is not raining, everyone is looking forward to the rain, but now a torrential rain is coming, but it makes people's life even worse.

Jiang Yunqian also followed the people in the village to the river to have a look. The originally calm river was like galloping horses. Not only were there crops and trees washed down from the upper reaches in the water, but also a lot of trees that were obviously washed out from people's houses. Objects, even livestock and human corpses.

Some people are lamenting that water and fire are ruthless, and some people have taken risks to salvage some valuable things in the river.
