The rainstorm poured, and the nurse sighed: "The hot water for bathing has already been prepared, if it rains for two days, it will have to be flooded" Zheng Qingchuan couldn't help laughing, and the nurse also said that the weather should be sunny for a few days, maybe there is really a crow's beak phenomenon in the world.The nurse said that the rain had rained for four days in a row, and the air was wet, and what was worse was that the rain had stopped for only two days, and the imperial court received news from the south that a major flood broke out, and every time there was a natural or man-made disaster, the officialdom would be a little shaken.At the same time, this has also become a hot topic among the people in the streets and alleys of the capital, Zheng Qingchuan stayed in the inner house, and the impact was relatively small.However, the unexpected always happens.Mama Yun reported: "The beautiful girl is here" Because this is in the Su family, she used the title of the Su family, and did not call Su Liang the young lady of the Hong family.Knowing that Su Liang was at Mrs.
Su's place, Zheng Qingchuan immediately went over."
Uncle and grandmother, my father may not be able to keep the official this time" Su Liang held a big belly like a big watermelon, crying with pear blossoms and rain on her face, and her eyes were swollen like red peaches, which shows that she is crying a lot.Old Mrs.
Su's eyes were also red, they turned their heads together, and when they saw Zheng Qingchuan coming, Su Liang immediately put away her crying and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but the choked sound she endured was even more pitiful.The eldest aunt of the Su family sat on the side gloating, chewing something delicious in her mouth, and the expression on her face seemed to be smiling.Zheng Qingchuan looked at Mrs.
Su with a calm gaze and didn't rush to ask.There is no need to ask, she can almost guess that Su Liang must have come to ask for help when she came back crying with a big belly this time.As for Su Liang's father, Su Dong, who was going to lose his official position, Zheng Qingchuan heard about it for the first time, and he was surprised and felt a little uncomfortable.Su Dong's official position was not easy to come by, and Zheng Qingchuan was one of the witnesses.She walked to Mrs.
Su's side and sat down, holding Mrs.
Su's hand that was like the bark of a jujube tree, and there was a rough feeling on her hand.Su Liang observed Zheng Qingchuan and was a little disappointed, originally she thought that Zheng Qingchuan would come to her side to comfort her, so that she could pick out her words clearly, but unfortunately Zheng Qingchuan did not play cards according to common sense.Su Liang lowered her head and wiped her tears with a pale red handkerchief.Others can wait patiently, but she can't wait She suddenly raised her head, and finally got to the point: "My father sent someone to send a letter to Beijing, and the grandfather of the Hong family helped to inquire, but said that this official can't keep it This is God is going to rain, my father didn't do anything wrong, I want to ask my cousin to go to the Hong family's grandfather to help intercede" Zheng Qingchuan's eyes were confused, she felt that things would definitely not be so simple, I heard that this time it was a large-scale rain across the country, if the person who was an official was so weak, because a natural disaster came, the official would be lost, so precarious, So this time, wouldn't the court want to take off hundreds of black gauze hats She looked at Su Liang's belly, and looked at the face of her unborn great-grandson, Old Lady Hong must have done her best.But for the sake of Su Liang's red eyes, Zheng Qingchuan couldn't say anything cold.Old Madam Su's face was solemn, and she had already made a decision in front of her: "Xiaohua go and call the fifth young master to come" Zheng Qingchuan did not interject.Su Liang continued to weep, and her maid also wept silently, looking at her master nervously.After a while, Su Mu came.Afraid that Su Liang would be sad, Mrs.
Su rushed to say the words first.After Su Mu listened, his eyes were not shocked, and he immediately agreed: "I'll go to Hong's house." ”Old Madam Su was like a savior: "Go and say quickly that you must keep the official" Su Mu did not respond to this sentence, he looked at Zheng Qingchuan and said, "Ah Qi, you go and clean up, and go together." ”"Hmm" Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly went back to the West Cross Courtyard to change his clothes, brought some small things to Ah Qing and Ah Yun, and then came back to accompany Su Liang to the gate, and when Su Liang got into the carriage of the Hong family, Zheng Qingchuan did not go with her, but turned around and went to the carriage of the Su family.Su Liang's maid complained in a low voice: "The fifth young lady of the Su family is a cold-bellied young lady, you have such a big belly, but she doesn't care at all." ”Su Liang stopped her tears, and when she heard this, her face was a little stiff, her eyes were a little cold, and she acquiesced to this.Obviously, she also minded Zheng Qingchuan returning to the carriage of the Su family and sitting beside Su Mu, who reached out and put his arm around her shoulder.In fact, Zheng Qingchuan didn't deliberately avoid Su Liang, although Su Liang's resentful aura made others feel depressed, but what she was really afraid of was Su Liang's big belly, which seemed to be ready to give birth at any time, on the carriage, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan talked for a while.Zheng Qingchuan asked: "Is there anything else on the uncle in the lobby" Su Mu said: "I'm not sure yet, I'll ask the second grandfather." ”Zheng Qingchuan said: "I think the second grandfather has done his best.Has the situation changed in Suzhou?"
the old lady of the Zheng family and the family of the eldest uncle of the Zheng family are still in Suzhou.Yesterday, Su Mu told Zheng Qingchuan that there was also a flood in Suzhou, but there was already a developed shipping there, so everyone hid in the boat, and then connected everyone's boats together and tied the big trees tightly so that they would not be washed away by the flood.Su Mu showed Zheng Qingchuan the letter that Zheng You wrote to him, and Zheng You also said in the letter that he went with the officials to distribute relief food, and his tone was not pessimistic.This is the news that Zheng Qingchuan learned yesterday, and when she met Su Dong today, she felt the rapid changes in the officialdom, and she hung her heart again, and she was also worried about the affairs of Suzhou.Su Mu touched her forehead with his chin and said succinctly: "The situation on both sides is different. ”After getting out of the carriage, Su Mu stayed directly in the outer courtyard of the Hong family, and Zheng Qingchuan accompanied Su Liang to the inner courtyard.When Mrs.
Hong saw Su Liang coming back, her eyes were complicated, with both blame and distress, and finally only turned into a sentence: "Mama Fu, you send the young lady back to the room to rest, and immediately ask the doctor to come and see" "It's the old lady who can rest assured" Mama Fu and the old lady can rest assured" Mama Fu helped Su Liang away.Ah Qing and Ah Yun were very happy to see Zheng Qingchuan, holding Zheng Qingchuan's hand left and right, and the three of them put their heads together and whispered.Old Madam Hong withdrew her gaze from Su Liang's back, then looked at Zheng Qingchuan and asked, "What about Su Mu" Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly replied: "Second grandmother, Su Mu is in the outer courtyard." ”Mrs.
Hong said: "Your eldest cousin went to make trouble for you today" Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly said: "We are not outsiders, so there is no such thing as causing trouble." ”Mrs.
Hong stopped her eyes on Zheng Qingchuan's abdomen for a while, probably because she was in a bad mood today, and asked Ah Qing and Ah Yun to take Zheng Qingchuan to play a little perfunctorily.Ah Qing and Ah Yun immediately took Zheng Qingchuan to the fourth aunt of the Hong family.It can be seen that Ah Qing and Ah Yun were very close to the fourth aunt in the Hong family, and when they were on the road, Zheng Qingchuan gave Ah Qing and Ah Yun two newly made small ornaments, which were two small green and fluffy watermelons, made of cloth, and the watermelons had eyes, eyebrows and mouths.Ah Qing and Ah Yun immediately hung the little watermelon on their waists.The fourth aunt of the Hong family was not as energetic as usual today, and asked in a sleepy tone: "Is Su Liang back?"
A-Qing hurriedly replied: "The eldest cousin is back, my brother and Qiqi sent her back" The fourth aunt of the Hong family asked Zheng Qingchuan to sit down, and sighed helplessly: "The elders didn't let her go out, for fear that the carriage would make a mistake on the road, we persuaded for a long time, she cried and made trouble, we are all tired of these little daughters-in-law, usually seem to be quiet and quiet, and when they make trouble, they are stubborn" Zheng Qingchuan listened, it was not good to talk about anything.A-Qing said: "Officials are more important than life, and the second brother said" She watched what happened, and it was obviously very clear.Then, Zheng Qingchuan laughed and said, "Hong Zhengchang's big mouth is talking nonsense, and when he becomes an official, he wants to resign the next day" Ah Qing raised his face and asked curiously: "Why does the second brother want to resign, the second brother said that he also wants to be an official, very majestic" The expression of the fourth aunt of the Hong family converged a little, and said with a smile: "The official is not something that everyone can do well, take advantage of the fact that before you lose your life, you should resign the official as soon as possible, so you can save your life, if you die on the official position, but you don't have the means to save your life, and in the end, you will ruin your family, Why bother with this official, it's like nectar, fragrant and sweet, everyone is greedy, but there are bees guarding the nectar next to it, and the needles on the bee's tail are poisonous" Ah Yun immediately shook her head: "The bee stings the face, it hurts very much and it will swell into a pig's head" Her maid once helped her block the bee once, but her head was swollen so big, she still remembers it now, and now she is afraid that Zheng Qingchuan reached out and hugged Ah Yun's shoulder.Ah Qing nodded, he understood.The fourth aunt told the maid to bring the watermelon and stop talking about that troublesome matter.Ah Yun cared about the two cherry trees at home and asked if they had been blown down by the wind.Zheng Qingchuan replied no, and then Ah Yun ate watermelon with confidence.The fourth aunt took the initiative to talk about Suzhou, and said: "Qiqi, your grandfather has made a meritorious service this time, and he may return to Beijing next year" Zheng Qingchuan said: "I miss them too."
My second brother wrote a letter to Su Mu, and he liked Suzhou very much. ”"Oh, what did the letter say?"
the fourth aunt said a few words of interest written on her face, and her eyes sparkled.Looking at the expression of the fourth aunt, Zheng Qingchuan couldn't help but desert, thinking: curiosity is bursting, is this the secret of keeping a young mentality After a while, she replied: "He said that the backyard of the yamen where he lived was also flooded, but fortunately he found a boat early, they lived in the cabin for three days, and said that he rowed in the backyard, and when he was cooking, he was afraid that the boat would catch fire, and when the wind was calm, he also rowed with the official to send relief food to others." ”Ah Qing and Ah Yun quieted down, their ears pricked up, their eyes bright, and they listened with relish.The fourth aunt suddenly smiled at Ah Qing and Ah Yun with great interest: "When your aunt comes back, I will have something to tease her":
