Chapter 506 Snow
Hearing what Lin Guyu said, Chi Hang stretched out his hand to stroke Lin Guyu's shoulder, and replied softly, "En."

It's getting colder.

That morning, when Lin Guyu woke up in a daze, he heard it was snowing outside.

Slowly getting up, Lin Guyu felt the cold air coming, put on a coat, got off the bed, and ran to the window.

Reaching out to open the window, seeing that the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of white, the corners of Lin Guyu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Lin Guyu hurriedly ran to the bed and woke Chi Hang up, with a little excitement in his eyes, "Brother Chi Hang, get up quickly, it's snowing."

Every time it snows, Lin Guyu is inexplicably excited.

Chi Hang put on his clothes without haste, and followed Lin Guyu to the window.

The window was moved away, a gust of cold wind hit, and everything outside turned white.

Snowflakes fell here and there from the dark red sky.

"It's still beautiful when it snows," Lin Guyu said, turning his head to glance at Chi Hang, "It's time to build a snowman."

Chi Hang smiled softly, Lin Guyu would do this kind of thing every year when it snowed, he was used to it.

Perhaps the children were also infected by Lin Guyu, and they all played in the yard.

Xu Zixuan and Dousha went to school early, Dong'er and Nian Gao struggled to roll the big snowball, and only Tuanzi stood in the door looking at everyone with a serious face.

Seeing the serious expression on Tuanzi's face, Lin Guyu walked slowly in front of Tuanzi, reached out and stroked Tuanzi's head.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Guyu squatted down and looked at her dumpling seriously, "Are you afraid of the cold?"

Tuanzi shook his head slightly, and said with a serious face, "It snowed early this year."

"Yeah," Lin Guyu said, slightly curling his lips, and glanced at the sky, "I'm afraid there will be a few more snowfalls this year."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Guyu frowned as if thinking of something.

Usually, the snow does not fall so early. This year it snowed early, and next year it is very likely that there will be a drought.

Of course, rich people like them don't worry about drinking water. After all, the capital is surrounded by rivers, so there is no need to worry about drinking water.

But people who farm the fields have to count on the gods to show their face and rain to irrigate the farmer.

If it doesn't rain next year, the harvest will be small next year, and the Huns in the north will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

Thinking of this, Lin Guyu suddenly felt that she could be the emperor herself, worrying about this and that all day long.

But this snow still needs to be saved, not only that, but also to dig canals and build reservoirs in the fields, and the saved snow water can be used to irrigate the farmers next summer.

"Master said, if the snow falls early, there may be a severe drought in the coming year." The little boy Tuanzi said, frowning into a ball, looking at Lin Guyu seriously, "Mother, what is a severe drought?"

Lin Guyu was very surprised when she heard the first sentence from Tuanzi, but she couldn't help laughing when she heard the last sentence.

Stretching out his hand to touch Tuanzi's head, Lin Guyu said calmly, "A severe drought means that it doesn't rain much, so we have no water to drink, and farmers have no way to grow crops."

"Isn't there still water in the river and in the well?" Tuanzi looked at Lin Guyu in a daze, and asked wonderingly.

"But in times of drought, the river may not be enough," Lin Guyu simply explained, "If the snow that falls now is stored as water, there will be some more at that time."

Tuanzi nodded half-understood, and suddenly felt that his mother was so powerful and understood everything.

"Go play with your sister and younger sister, don't think so much." Lin Guyu didn't want Tuanzi to think about so many things every day, after all, those things are what adults should worry about.

Lin Guyu got up and walked to Chi Hang's side, sat aside, and said what he just thought of.

"You mean building a reservoir?" Chi Hang asked doubtfully, frowning slightly.

"Talk to my elder brother and sister-in-law to let them store more water at home. Let's dig a reservoir directly in the backyard. Even if there is a drought, there is no need to worry." Lin Guyu wanted everyone to dig A reservoir to store all the snow water in winter, but who would do this kind of thing in the winter, after all, it is hard for farmers to rest at this time.

"I'll go back and talk to my elder brother and sister-in-law." Chi Hang said this, and said with a serious face, "We still have a lot of land in our hands, and we will also dig a reservoir in our land, otherwise the water in our own land will The bankers may all die of drought.”

"En." Lin Guyu replied with a smile.

Chi Hang got up and walked in front of Lin Guyu, lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her forehead, and whispered in her ear, "Then you rest at home, I'll get someone to do it."

"Okay." Lin Guyu watched Chi Hang leave, then picked up Mrs. Tang and walked outside.

Chi Hang ordered the repair of the reservoir to go down, and hired a few people to supervise the work, and told them to complete the project before spring.

The Duke's land has more than 4000 mu of land, including the land that Chi Hang and Lin Guyu bought with their own money, a total of more than 7000 mu of land.

With so much land, one reservoir is definitely not enough, and twenty of them must be enough.

Their land is not in the capital, but in Yancheng, which is two days away from the capital, where the land is sparsely populated.

Because Chi Hang gave two hundred Wen a day to the people who came to dig the reservoir, and many people wanted to come in and dig the reservoir because of the two hundred Wen.

Because of the cold weather, Lin Guyu took out all the thick clothes that had been prepared early in the morning. It was snowing outside all the time, so she directly asked the thick clothes to be roasted beside the brazier.

It's only November, and I don't know how cold it will be until December.

The twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when Xiaoxue gets married. Xiaoxue has no natal family, so Lin Guyu is busy helping her prepare the dowry.

Lin Guyu counted the dowry to be prepared for Xiaoxue in the room, turned his head to discuss with Xiao Hua, "Xiao Hua, do you think there is anything missing?"

Xiaohua looked at the pretend list in her hand, shook her head, "Everything is written on the list."

Taking the list from Xiaohua's hand, Lin Guyu counted it again, standing in the middle of the eight big boxes, and it seemed that there was really nothing missing, so he walked out from the middle of the wooden box.

Sitting lazily on the chaise longue beside him, Lin Guyu put the list on the table beside him, "Go and lock up these wooden boxes, so there's no need to count them."

"Yes." Xiaohua replied, and quickly locked the lock.

"In March next year, Xiaoxue is going to get married," Lin Guyu said with some reluctance, with a slight smile between his brows and eyes, looking at Xiaohua standing in the wooden box, "You and Xu Leng Have you set a date yet?"

From time to time, Xu Leng would bring some gadgets to Xiao Hua, but Lin Guyu didn't ask much, thinking that the two were in love, so he let them go.

Xiao Hua paused for a while, looked up at Lin Guyu who was sitting not far away, and said shyly, "Madam, Mr. Leng and I are still early!"

After Xiaohua packed everything up, she walked towards Lin Guyu, "Madam, here are the keys, you put them away."

Lin Guyu put the key in his pocket, and said lightly, "You and Xu Lengfeng should also discuss the matter, you are not too young."

Xiao Hua nodded with her face flushed, followed Lin Guyu and walked outside.

Just as Lin Guyu was going to find Xiaoxue who was staying in the room embroidering the dowry, before she walked out of her yard, she heard that the fourth lady had come, so she hurriedly asked Wang Xiaoqian to come in.

Wang Xiaoqian came in from the outside supported by Xiaocui, wearing a pink cloak.

As soon as she entered the room, Xiaocui helped Wang Xiaoqian take off the cloak she was wearing, revealing the light pink satin cotton coat inside.

Wang Xiaoqian is now three months old and has begun to show her pregnancy, but the dress on her body is a little loose, covering her stomach completely.

"It's true of you, you're still out in the cold weather," Lin Guyu couldn't help nagging at Wang Xiaoqian, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Hua, "Go get a cup of ginger tea."

"Yes." Xiaohua replied and went out.

"It's not very cold. There's a brazier in the carriage, and I'm still holding Mrs. Tang in my hand. How can it be cold?" Wang Xiaoqian said with a faint smile on her face, "I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in the future. This does not bring you some annual gifts in advance."

Lin Guyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Just ask someone to bring it over. Wouldn't it be tiring for you to come here and do something yourself?"

Wang Xiaoqian just pursed her lips and smiled.

Seeing the New Year's ceremony prepared by Wang Xiaoqian, Lin Guyu looked at those things with a look of surprise, and made up his mind, how could these be worth hundreds of taels of silver.

Although Chiye has become an official, his money is very tight. Zhou's money is all in his hands. This time they gave so many gifts, Zhou's will have to ask Wang Xiaoqian to settle the score later.

Thinking of this, Lin Guyu looked anxiously at Wang Xiaoqian at the side, and said hesitantly, "There are too many things this year."

Wang Xiaoqian couldn't remember the previous memories, but now that she heard Lin Guyu say that, she looked at those New Year's gifts in a daze, "These are all prepared by my mother-in-law, aren't there so many before?"

Zhou's?

Since it was prepared by Mrs. Zhou, it is estimated that Mrs. Zhou will not look for Wang Xiaoqian at that time. Lin Guyu is a little confused about what Mrs. Zhou wants to do now, and he is too lazy to think about it so much. To be honest, "It was not so much before." many."

Xiao Hua came in from the outside with ginger tea in her hand, put it beside Wang Xiaoqian, and then retreated in front of Lin Guyu.

Wang Xiaoqian looked at Lin Guyu in surprise, vaguely seemed to remember that the relationship between her mother-in-law and the third sister-in-law was not good, and a vague memory flashed in her mind.

"This is all my mother-in-law's heart, and the third sister-in-law can just accept it at ease." Wang Xiaoqian said very frankly, picked up the tea cup on the side, and took a sip slowly.

Pregnant women love to talk about their children. After Wang Xiaoqian waited for Lin Guyu to help her get her pulse, the two of them talked about the child again. They felt tired, so Wang Xiaoqian left in the carriage.

Sitting tiredly on the carriage, Xiao Cui looked at Wang Xiaoqian's appearance and asked with some concern, "Fourth Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wang Xiaoqian shook her head, leaning her head against the carriage beside her, her mind was a little messed up, and she was completely stunned.
