In the early morning of the next day, Xue Xiao ordered Zhaocai and Laifu to load the luggage into the carriage and prepare to set off.Originally, the next stop of the group was Luo City, but Xue Xiao received a letter from Song Lin last night. It turned out that he was sent by the government to Gu'an County to supervise the county magistrate's disaster relief.

Gu'an County is one of the most severely flooded areas of the Yellow River. Because the Yellow River diverted, it happened to flow into the Baishui River outside Gu'an County, and then into the sea.Fortunately, the county magistrate saw that the Baishui River was rising and moved the surrounding villagers in time, so the casualties were not too great.

This time Song Lin sent him a letter for water control. The letter said that the matter was of great importance and he had reported it to the officials, but the officials asked him to write a letter to Xue Xiao. What a good idea, so I invite him to Gu'an County.

When he opened the letter and saw the contents, the corners of Xue Xiao's mouth twitched for a few seconds. Everyone said that he cheated his father and his son, and his uncle didn't cheat his son and his nephew.

Fortunately, in the 21st century, his major is water conservancy engineering. He originally wanted to be a civil servant in the water conservancy bureau, but he choked on a piece of bread and passed through.Although he lacks experience in events, his professional knowledge is not bad at all. Let's wait and see him show his skills.

In order to reach Gu'an County as soon as possible, Xue Xiao and his group accelerated their pace and slept in the wild a few times along the way. Fortunately, they didn't encounter bandits on the way, otherwise they don't know what will happen!

Hurrying all the way, finally arrived in Gu'an County ten days later.

Beside the gate of Gu'an County, a young man was sitting on a horse looking into the distance. This man was Song Lin who wrote to Xue Xiao.Yesterday he received a letter from Xue Xiao saying that he would arrive in Gu'an County in the near future, so he was waiting at the gate of the city early this morning.

About an hour later, the shadows of several carriages appeared from a distance. Song Lin took a closer look at the driver, and knew that they were Xue Xiao and his party.Song Lin waved his whip, pulled the reins and rode forward to meet him.

"Wow..." Song Lin tightened the reins, stopped beside Xue Xiao's carriage, and got off the horse sideways.

"Brother Xiao, you've worked hard all the way." Song Lin lifted the curtain of the car to greet Xue Xiao.

"You know I've worked hard, so don't stop here to reminisce about the past. I'm so hungry and tired, I'd better go to the city. There's plenty of time for a good chat when I'm in the city." Because of familiarity, Xue Xiao just nodded casually, and sent a message to Song Lin complain.

"Okay, I've already ordered a table of food and drinks in the restaurant, and we're going into the city right now." Song Lin put down the curtain of the car, got on his horse, and led the way.

"Here we are." Song Lin dismounted handsomely.

Xue Xiao in the carriage heard this, lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first, followed by Fu Li.

"Brother Song Family." Fu Li greeted Song Lin.

"Brother Zhao, you don't need to be so polite. I am a friend of Brother Xiao just like you, so you should call me the same as him!" Song Lin said.

"Since that's the case, obedience is worse than respect, Geer Lin." Fu Li changed his address in a polite manner.

Song Lin said that this is right, and patted Fu Li on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

When Xue Qing got out of the carriage and saw the three of them chatting and laughing happily, she always felt that she had missed something.Walking in front of the three of them, Xue Qing greeted Song Linxing and Li.

"Although this mansion is not big, it won't be a problem to house so many of you." Song Lin took the three of them for a stroll in the rented mansion, introducing the structure of the mansion.

"Sister Qing, you see that Caixia Pavilion is where you live. I have someone decorate it for you. Go and see if you like it. If you don't like it, I will change it." Song Lin pointed A two-story embroidered building not far away said to Xue Qing.

As soon as she heard that it was where she lived, Xue Qing couldn't wait to say goodbye to the three of them, and hurried towards Caixia Pavilion with a look of joy on her maiden face.

Song Lin said that his daughter's home was really easy to coax, so he took Xue Xiao and Fu away from where they lived.

"This is Songzhu Courtyard, where Xue Xiao lives, and the Tingfeng Courtyard not far away is owned by Fuli. The beauty of these two places is that they are planted with bamboo, which is very quiet and elegant." Song Lin said with a smile. Xue Xiao and Fu Li entered Songzhu Courtyard.

Gu'an County is located in the Central Plains, and the area is more northward, so the styles of Songzhuyuan and Tingfengyuan are relatively rough and concise, but this clump of bamboo is planted around the stream, with a touch of Jiangnan refinement.

After strolling through the courtyard, Song Lin left first, leaving Xue Xiao and the others to rectify and rest.

"Finally I can rest well. I haven't had a good rest after traveling these days." Xue Xiao sighed while lying on the bed.

At the end of Shen Shi, Song Lin appeared again and took Xue Xiao and others who had rested to Wenxianglou, where a table had already been set up for them to wash away the dust.

"Spiced eight-treasure duck with sauce, white-cut chicken, stewed beef, stir-fried vegetable brocade, clear mixed lotus root slices..." Xue Xiao looked at the table full of dishes, and his tongue was salivating.

Song Lin greeted a few people to sit down, and ordered Xiaoer to serve wine. Knowing Xue Xiao's drinking capacity, Song Lin specially asked someone to bring two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and one jar of pear blossom white.

"Come, you are welcome to come to Gu'an County to help." Song Lin raised his glass to the three of them and drank it down.

Xue Xiao and the other three also raised their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.The banquet didn't end until the middle of the month, and Xue Qing had already been escorted back home by the guards.

"Laifu, hurry up and help Brother Lin, he's drunk." Xue Xiao helped Song Lin halfway, and called for Laifu, and Laifu responded and sent Song Lin into the carriage with the waiter in the shop .

When he was free, Xue Xiao quickly turned his head to look at Fu Li, only to see that he was sitting upright on the chair, his eyes were clear, and he was not drunk at all.Xue Xiao couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart that Fu Li was not drunk for a thousand cups, so amazing.

"Brother Zhao, it's time for us to go home." Xue patted his shoulder and said softly.

Fu Li nodded slowly, stood up and said hello, then followed Xue Xiao and left from Wenxiang Tower.

The three people in the carriage were in different situations: Song Lin sat half leaning against the carriage and snored loudly, sleeping like some kind of animal; Fu Li sat obediently next to Xue Xiao, holding Xue Xiao's sleeve tightly in his hand, He didn't let go at all; while Xue Xiao was trying to save his sleeve, but despite all his efforts, he still succeeded, and there was still a faint layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Brother Zhao, let go, okay?" Xue Xiaofang said to Fu Li in a soft tone.

"If you don't let go, you will run away." Fu Li shook his head and said, the strength in his hand was secretly increasing.

"I promise not to run away, how about we hold hands in another way?" Xue Xiao made an oath with three fingers together.

Fu Li tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled at Xue Xiao, and let go of his tightly clenched sleeves.Xue Xiao glanced at his crumpled sleeves, and before he felt sorry, Fu Li grabbed his hand.

Xue Xiao secretly sighed, adjusted the posture of holding hands, and sat quietly like this.On the other hand, Fu Li held Xue Xiao's hand tightly as if he had obtained some rare treasure, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and eyes closed.

The night was like water, with a bright moon in the sky, and the carriage was driving slowly on the quiet street.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the leased mansion, Xue Xiao asked Laifu to help Song Lin down, why didn't he help himself?That's because as soon as he touched Song Lin, his hands would hurt a little from Fu Li's grip, and he was not a man of steel, so he couldn't help the pain, so he could only compromise.

Xue Xiao led Fu Li out of the carriage and went back to Tingfengyuan. At this time, Zhao Cai handed him hangover soup. When Fu Li tugged at his sleeve earlier, he knew he was drunk.It's just that when he's drunk, he doesn't make noise and is very obedient. The only bad thing is that he is too stubborn, which seems to be a sign of insecurity.

Xue Xiao was silent for a while thinking of this, Fu Li had already finished drinking the hangover soup while he was silent.No, he tugged on his sleeve again, with an aggrieved look on his face.

Knowing that he was asking for comfort, Xue Xiao patted his head and gave him a candied fruit.Fu left the bathroom and turned his head three times a step. It was Xue Xiao's repeated promise that he would not leave, so he was relieved.

"Brother, let's sleep with Brother Zhao!" Fu Li blinked his water-sheared pupils and looked at Xue Xiao, with a hint of pity in his tone.

Xue Xiao's heart softened after being stared at by him, "Brother Zhao, be good. My brother will watch you fall asleep before leaving."

Fu Li nodded heavily, and said again: "Brother, can you hum a song to Brother Zhao, then I will fall asleep soon."

Xue Xiao agreed, and began to hum his favorite song "Grandma Bridge" in modern times.

"The wind blows the shadow of the tree and shakes, shakes and shakes to Grandma Bridge, thinking of my good baby..."

Xue Xiao's gentle voice slowly floated into Fu Li's ears, lingering in his dream for a long time.

Seeing that Fu Li's breathing became long and even, Xue Xiao got up gently and returned to his room to take a shower and go to bed.

"Brother Xiao, brother Zhao, how did you sleep last night?" Song Lin propped one hand on the table and rubbed his temples, looking at the energetic two people opposite.

"Not bad" "Very good" they both replied in unison.

"That's good, I'm afraid I won't take good care of her!" Song Lin joked.

"By the way, follow me to the embankment to have a look today. The flood season is over, and the current is not too fast, so it's convenient for you to check." Song Lin put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, swallowed it, and then spoke.

"Okay!" Xue Xiao nodded.

Because they had to get down to business, the three of them speeded up their meal.In less than a stick of incense, the three of them rode their horses and rushed out of the city, where someone had already been staying and watching.

"Junwang An." The magistrate of Gu'an County pointed at Xue Xiao's luggage.

"Excuse me, my lord." Xue Xiao went to help the county magistrate upright, and quickly said excuse me.

Afterwards, Fu Li, Song Lin and the county magistrate met with each other.After the meeting, the county magistrate led the three of them to inspect the river.

Due to the flood, the village next to the river, which was originally filled with smoke, was deserted at this time, and many houses were washed away to pieces.

When Xue Xiao asked about the resettlement situation of the villagers, the county magistrate said that those who had relatives in other places had gone to visit relatives, and those who were lonely had been properly resettled in the shantang in the city.

After looking at the side of the river for a long time, Xue Xiao had no choice but to use the map and the topographic map of the Yong Dynasty to implement it.

In addition, he still has some new ideas that need to be sorted out and reported to the officials for approval.

"Let's go, let's talk when we go back." Xue Xiao turned and said to the others.

Unexpectedly, his foot slipped, Xue Xiao instantly lost his balance, leaned back, and fell into the Baishui River with a plop.

"Brother Xiao, hurry up and save people!" Song Lin yelled in a panic by the river.But I am a landlubber and I don't know water, so I can only do it in a hurry.It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, I saw a blur in front of my eyes, and a figure rushed into the water quickly.
