The Concubine's Rebirth: The Third Miss Doctor

Chapter 161 Flood
Due to the continuous rainy weather, the entire capital city seemed to be shrouded in mist, and even the people in the city were in a gloomy mood.When will this rain end?

Fu Wenzhu held Doudou in his arms, listening to the sound of ticking, he couldn't help being a little irritable, but Doudou in his arms didn't know what sorrow was, and danced happily in her arms, feeling very happy.

She smiled and touched Doudou's little head, "You! Do you miss your father? Your father hasn't come home for three days! Hey, it's all caused by the rain, okay? , Brat, I get excited when I talk about your father, look at your meaty appearance, mother, I can hardly hug you!"

Putting Doudou, who was dancing more and more in his arms, on the ground, he can walk more steadily now, and the room is covered with thick mats, so he is not afraid of him falling!

"Zihuan, go to the kitchen and bring Doudou's rice cakes, this kid must be hungry after a long time of fuss!" Fu Wenzhu ordered while looking at Doudou.Since Doudou was one year old, she has weaned Doudou from milk. Now, Doudou can also eat rice cakes, custard and other foods.Fu Wenzhu would also feed him some coarse grains from time to time.

Although the people in the mansion were surprised, in their opinion, this coarse grain should be eaten by their servants, but they never thought that the wife would give Master Doudou this stuff.But this is the master's business, and of course they will not talk too much as servants.

Fu Wenzhu naturally sees other people's eyes, but she naturally has her own reasons.Now Doudou has grown up to one year old alive and kicking, and caught a cold once during that period.Today's Doudou is strong and strong, and his small arms and legs are even more powerful. He can even splash in the water for a long time. No one in the capital would envy him.

It was Song Yi, who was worried at first that his little wife was still young and it was her first time as a mother, so she would inevitably be in a hurry.Later, when he saw that Zhu'er was a decent girl, and Doudou was brought up to be smart and cute, he felt relieved and would not interfere with Zhu'er's raising the children at all.

"Ah, Doudou, come here, eat delicious rice, it smells so good, Doudou..." Fu Wenzhu held the rice bowl and coaxed him to eat, only to see Doudou sticking out his little butt and walking erratically. Short legs quickly ran up to her, ah, his mouth grew wide, and he muttered indistinctly, "Eat, eat...Fan!"

"Zhu'er, I'm back!" A voice came out suddenly, Fu Wenzhu raised his head quickly, and Doudou even ran over with his mouth open, threw himself into the opponent's arms, and cheered happily, " Daddy, it's Daddy!"

Song Yi hugged him in his arms, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Doudou, do you miss Daddy? Look, what good things did Daddy bring you?" His other hand took a delicate little Inside the cage, there was a parrot calling tirelessly.

Doudou was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and immediately hugged the small cage with her two little hands, even if she couldn't finish hugging, she didn't let go, and shouted excitedly, "Mother, mother, look, bird...it's a bird..."

Fu Wenzhu took Doudou with a smile, "Yes, it's the bird, the bird that talks to Doudou, come on, Doudou, sit here and talk to the bird!" Put Doudou on the mat and walked to Song Yi Help him change his coat.

"Master, are you done with your work? Why are you free to come back today? I think the rain won't stop for a while, what is the court planning to do?" Fu Wenzhu personally changed the plain clothes he wore in the house.

Song Yi frowned slightly, and for a moment, he took her hand and sat next to Doudou, gently touching Doudou who was teasing the bird with one hand, "The imperial court has begun to allocate funds for disaster relief. The imperial envoys have also been sent downstream, I am afraid that the life of the common people will be really difficult this year, I only hope that a little power from the imperial court can help the common people get through this hurdle!"

Fu Wenzhu expressed that he had little hope in his heart. Since ancient times, the money from the top has been exploited layer by layer to the bottom. No one can guarantee how much the common people will receive!It would be fine if the imperial envoys were more helpful, but if the imperial envoys also joined forces, then... the consequences would be disastrous.

Song Yi obviously didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic at home. Thinking that he hadn't returned to the mansion for several days, he asked with concern, "Zhu'er, how is everything in the mansion these days? Has Doudou made trouble with you these few days?" I have been busy with disaster relief at the Yamen, and I wronged you to take care of the mansion!"

Fu Wenzhu shook his head and said with a smile, "No, where is the grievance coming from? This is what I should do. Besides, what you are doing is a serious matter, and it is too late for me to support you. Doudou is so good. I have been busy training him recently. The small steps, very law-abiding."

When Doudou heard his name, her little ears trembled, she turned her head quickly, stared at her mother with two shining eyes, and said, "Doudou!" A cute little hand pointed at herself.

Song Yi and Fu Wenzhu were so amused by this little picture of playing tricks, Fu Wenzhu laughed so hard that his whole body lay on top of Song Yi, "Hahaha... Ah Yi, look at your son's playing tricks, it's so funny Hahaha... It seems that I chose the name Doudou really right!"

Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he looked at his little wife with helplessness in his eyes, but the hand that embraced her became more and more gentle.

When Doudou saw his father and mother smiling, he became more and more excited, and suddenly he didn't even want the birds, and danced in front of them, showing his unique genius dance steps.

Throughout the afternoon, the room was filled with Fu Wenzhu's cheerful laughter, mixed with Doudou's excited "ah, ah", and Song Yi's muffled laughter from time to time. With a smile on your face, take your steps lightly.

After that afternoon, Song Yi fell into a busy schedule again.Fu Wenzhu also started to get busy. Some areas in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River have been flooded. Now the rain is still going on, and there are more than a few people affected by the disaster.

She transported all the surplus grain from Zhuangzi to the warehouse of the Song Mansion. Not only did she not sell it, but she took all the family books and took most of it out to buy grain, medicine and various miscellaneous grains.

That day finally came, in the middle of the night, Song Yi was sleeping soundly with Zhu'er in his arms, when he suddenly heard a small sound outside the window, he woke up immediately, carefully hugged the person in his arms, so as not to wake her up, He didn't even put on his coat, so he went directly to the outer room.

"Come in, what's the matter? Is there a flood?" Song Yi's deep voice rang out.

The visitor clasped his hands and reported, "Responding to my lord's words, all the banks in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River have burst, and all the people have been displaced. The imperial envoy has sent people to help, and my subordinates have come here to report to your lord!"

Song Yi nodded, "Continue to pay attention to the situation of the people, send our troops out, bring medicines and food from the government, and do our best to cooperate with the imperial envoys to help the people!"

After his subordinates retreated, Song Yi rubbed the center of his brows with one hand, his face darkened, flood, flood!Thinking of the tens of thousands of suffering people, he frowned tightly. Unfortunately, he is only one person, and there are only a few people he can help. Now he only hopes that the rain will stop as soon as possible.

The next day, all the powerful people in the capital got the news that the Huaihe River had completely breached its embankment, which meant that countless places had suffered flood disasters.Whether it is an official or a commoner, all of them have serious faces. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are a catastrophe for everyone.

"Zhu'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back every day during this period. You take good care of yourself and Doudou at home. Don't worry too much about the affairs in the house. I will leave Ah Jing and Ah Guo in the house. What can you tell me?" They, and also, if someone else comes to your door, you don't have to pay attention to it, just say that you are not feeling well and you can rest in the mansion!" Song Yi kept urging while wearing his official uniform.

Fu Wenzhu tied his hair skillfully, "Don't worry! By the way, how is the Fu residence? Will my father have any business?"

"It's okay! Father-in-law is in charge of etiquette and vocal music. Although the entire court is busy with the flood, father-in-law is still relatively free. In addition, father-in-law has been an official in the court for so many years, it's okay! By the way, if you miss father-in-law and mother-in-law and Auntie, you might as well take the guards to Fu's house for a walk. Doudou should miss this little uncle Lele too!"

Fu Wenzhu felt relieved when he said this, "You have to take good care of yourself when you are outside, don't just be busy doing things. There will definitely be people running around due to the flood recently, and you will definitely be busy, but don't forget your body... ..."

After a lot of ramblings, Fu Wenzhu sent someone out of the mansion, turned around and went back to the house, and ordered to bring the ledger.Before Doudou woke up, he looked at the account book. Due to the recent flood, both the Zhuangzi and the shop had reduced production a lot. Looking through it carefully, he met a few stewards outside.

Instruct them to pay attention to safety, whether they are in the Zhuangzi or the shop, especially the Zhuangzi in the suburbs. If they encounter a sneaky crowd, they should notify the mansion immediately.There is nothing wrong with the shops in the capital, after all, they are under the feet of the emperor, and even the famous ones can't get in, it just delays some business.

He also ordered Zihuan to give each steward a reward of ten taels of silver, another two shi of grain, and a pack of medicines for daily use per person.

The stewards below are naturally grateful. You must know that at this time, giving money is better than giving food and medicine. Nowadays, these two things cannot be bought outside with money. They left after thanking them all .

Fu Wenzhu thought for a while, and simply called Zihuan in, "Zihuan, call a few people and go to the mansion to ask. Now that there is a big flood, if any family has any difficulties, you will write them down, but You have to tell the truth. The government can help a little."

Anyway, they have already planned to provide disaster relief, first to stabilize the hearts of the people in the mansion, to stabilize the inner house, and to better frame the outside.

"Madam is really kind-hearted, don't worry, this servant will definitely take care of this matter. Everyone in the mansion knows that the servants and servants know that they can't hide the truth from me!" Zihuan replied with a smile.
