Chapter 320 Do You Have a Way to Send a Secret Letter

Xue Jian took over two slightly yellowed papers, which were the household registration books of this era.I can take this to the government to change this to slavery.The life and death of these two people is in their own hands.

Xue Jian put the two body deeds away, and clearly felt that Wu's eyes were following her hands.Xuejian heard what the senior brother said when he came back last night, and understood Wu's current mood.Didn't say anything.

Outside the door, Mrs. Gu stretched out her head to look over, then retracted after looking, Xue Jian shouted:
"Sister-in-law Gu. Why don't you take Aunt Wu to see the room prepared for them."

Mrs. Gu stepped into the door, answered, turned around but did not leave, and looked back at Xuejian, as if hesitating.Xue Jian said with a smile:
"Don't Mrs. Gu know Aunt Wu?"

Gu quickly waved his hands and said:

"No, no, girl, I'm just... just I just want to ask, can my two children and I sign for you too. Do you?"

Xue Jian was taken aback.Unexpectedly, Gu Shi wanted to sell himself to himself.After being stunned for a moment, Xue saw and said:
"Sister-in-law Gu. Did you get what your mother-in-law meant? Also, you are still young. If you give me a body deed, are you going to guard the two children for the rest of your life? I thought you could form another family. "

Gu's face blushed and said:

"Girl, I've never thought about it this way. I just want to bring up my two children. And I'm too incapable, so I want to live here with the girl. As long as the two children can survive, besides, these few days I can also see that neither of my children will suffer if I follow the girl. I just ask the girl not to dislike us. The child is too young to do much. But my son can do errands or something The girl is still young, she will learn from the people around the girl in the future, and let her serve the girl when she grows up!"

Gu was afraid that Xue Jian would not agree, so she knelt down and kowtowed while speaking.Xue Jian quickly reached out to help her up.Xue Jian knew about the situation in this sister-in-law's family.With a wry smile, he said:

"Well, you go back and ask your mother-in-law first."

"Hey!"

Hearing what the girl said, Mrs. Gu knew that there was hope.My mother-in-law knows it herself, and she will definitely agree, because now the family lives on a daily basis, and these two days I am doing things here, and the two children eat here.The two children were so glib, when they went back and told grandma that they ate the most delicious meat, Gu shed tears.Especially the eldest son, who quietly brought back two pieces of meat in his sleeves for grandma to eat.The old woman burst into tears after eating it!

After making arrangements for Wu Qiming's mother and son, Xue Jian and his grandfather went to the field to check. There are still about a dozen people weeding in the field today.This time, Xuejian went to the place where the river connects with his land to have a look.This river can be regarded as a big river, about twenty feet wide.It's just because the land here is still very flat, so the water flow is not too urgent, but it still looks very clear.

The place where the river connects to Zhuangzi seems to have been protected.It seems that flood control has been done before, Xue Jian frowned, if there is a flood here, it will be a big problem.It is flat here, and when the flood comes, it will be completely submerged.That's the trouble. It seems that we need to know something about the flood control of this river.

Originally, Xuejian planned to use this river water.Open a mouth here.To connect the river with the field here, dig a pond with ten acres of field, and do some fish farming in the future.It seems that the first thing to do is not to borrow water, but to make it waterproof.If you don't prepare for this drought, you will be in trouble when it is flooded.Xue Jian frowned and asked Grandpa:
"Master, do you think this river will flood our land? What if there is a flood?"

Old Shen also looked at it and said:

"Hey, you have to ask the people on the ground here. See if there has been a flood here in previous years."

Xue Jian nodded and said:

"I'll go into the village right away and ask those old people. Lord, you can go back by yourself first."

Xuejian did what she said, and in a hurry, she also practiced lightness kung fu, and jumped to the entrance of the village after a few jumps.Today's weather is good, and there are two old people who are too old to go to the field sitting on the entrance of the village.Xue Jian stepped forward to say hello.Seeing that the two old men were still articulate, they stepped forward and asked:

"Two old men, has the river on this side ever flooded in previous years?"

An old man nodded and said:
"It's been said that if the water rises every few years, there will be a flood here. If there is a flood, it will flood the place. Only the hill behind the villa will not be flooded, so the hill was originally said to be in Kaiping. They came to farm the land. Later, the owners didn’t dare to open it. If it wasn’t for the mountain, the manor would have been flooded.”

Xuejian asked again:
"Where did the deepest water in previous years go?"

The two old men looked at each other, talked for a while and said:

"One year, it was flooded to the gate of my house. The field was completely flooded. There was no harvest that year. Our family has been eating wild vegetables and grass roots for half a year!"

Xue Jian nodded again and said:
"The government didn't ask?"

The old man smiled and said:
"I don't know if the government took care of it before. Even if it did, it would be compensated to the master. It is impossible to compensate our tenants. We have to see if the master will allow us to pay less rent."

Another old man pinched his fingers and said:

"Hey, it seems that the water hasn't risen for five years, and I'm afraid it will be bad again in the past two years!"

"Oh, you're right, I have to remind everyone that the grain at home should be stored higher."

Xue Jian got what she wanted to ask, and walked back to look at the river embankment.Looks like you have to be prepared for flooding.

Back in the manor, Qiu Yuan stepped forward and said:
"Xue'er, look, I just went to the river over there to get fish, don't you like fish the most, you have to eat it today."

Xue Jian nodded and said:
"Third senior brother, do you know if there is any introduction to this river in the government? Where did it come from? It's because it has to rise every few years. I'm afraid what will happen if the river floods this year?"

Qiu Yuan put away his smiling face and said:
"I don't know about this, but the Ministry of Industry in the court knows about this kind of thing."

Xue Jian frowned.The Ministry of Industry, I don't know which is the Ministry of Industry.I'm afraid I have to find the big brother again!Xue Jian hurried back to the house and wrote down the situation here, she wanted to write to the elder brother to ask about that Prince Liang, but she was afraid that others would read the letter and cause some trouble.

Xuejian turned around again and came out to find the third senior brother, and said softly:

"Do you have a way to send a secret message to the senior brother? I have a secret to ask him."

Qiu Yuan looked at Xue Jian solemnly, then nodded and said:
"I'll teach you, it's the elder brother who taught us."

Qiu Yuan told Xue Jian some of the methods taught by Lian Shizi and the method of passing secret letters between their brothers.Xuejian heard a dark head, and it turned out to be Tibetan words.Just not the first word nor the second word.It's the word in the middle.It seems that it is necessary to teach a few people the pinyin that I know, so that I can truly pass on the secret letter, isn't it?No one else can understand it.
