Xie Ning beat five eggs, added sugar, and asked the cook to mix them evenly.

He himself was kneading the noodles, and sprinkled some black sesame seeds to make a thick batter, then poured in the egg liquid, stirred evenly, and was ready to make the kang omelette.

Once the pan is hot, turn to low heat, scoop a spoonful of batter in the middle of the pan, Xie Ning scrapes the batter with the edge of the bowl, and spread it into a thin pancake in the pan.

When the batter is burnt yellow, roll it with chopsticks from the edge while it is still hot, take it out and put it on the chopping board to cool, then it will be set, and the egg will be fragrant and crispy.

It is slightly thicker than the ones sold on the street, but the weight is more substantial.

Xie Ning first made a plate and asked Lu He to serve it to the elders.Patiently rolled another plate of egg rolls, took them to the study in person, and fed them to the husband and son.

As soon as Xie Ning entered, his blood pressure soared.Brother Yu's face is covered in ink, and the padded jacket he was wearing was completely ruined...

As soon as Brother Yu saw the delicious food Daddy was carrying, he turned over the brush and drew another line on his chin, Xie Ning's eyebrows and coccyx twitched.

Then Brother Yu rubbed his chin with his sleeve, got up and jumped towards Xie Ning...

"Zhou Yu!" Xie Ning put a finger on his son's forehead, "Are you drinking ink?"

Xie Ning couldn't help but raise his voice once, "You are three years old! Look at your clothes! Are you still one or two years old? Change eight sets a day?"

Zhou Jinnian held his breath, screaming inwardly...

"Zhou Ji Nian!" Xie Ning stared at his son and shouted his husband's name angrily.

The magistrate of Jianzhou approached his husband nervously.

Xie Ning angrily handed him the plate, and took Brother Yu to wash his hands and face.

Zhou Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief, put down the plate, and tidied up the desk swiftly, as long as it was within sight, he would definitely tidy it up.

When Xie Ning led his son back to the study, the study was already clean and in order.

"Ning Lang, come." Zhou Jinian was eager to divert Xie Ning's attention.

Xie Ning went to stand in front of Zhou Jinnian, and was held by Zhou Jinian and sat on his lap, with a painting unfolding in front of him.

"I just drew it, you come to help Wei Fu with a word."

The person in the painting is Xie Ning himself, sitting in the gazebo with a small ball beside his legs, and Zhou Jinnian painted him with a flowing shirt in the windblown fairy coat.

Xie Ning really forgot something...

He reached out to touch the brush, then paused again, "You draw so well, why don't you let my calligraphy be ruined?"

Zhou Jinnian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Just write it, my husband likes it."

While his son was playing with brushes, Zhou Jinnian was distracted and went to paint. He didn't want to let Fu Lang see his son's pretty face, and once he lost his temper, the prefect of Jianzhou was really a little scared.

Sure enough, Xie Ning's mind was full of words, poems, and...

Brother Yu came over and grabbed his father, "Father."

His little paw pointed to the egg roll on the table, he wanted to eat it.Unexpectedly, his father also went to see his father. It turns out that his father can't make decisions in front of his father.

"Eat." Xie Ning said.

Zhou Jinian then gave it to his son, and he picked up one to taste.After he finished eating one, he still didn't want to finish it, so he wrapped his arms around Xie Ning's waist and leaned forward to read it. After writing for a long time, Xie Ning wrote the word 'Lonely Year'.

"..." Zhou Jinian chuckled softly, held Xie Ning's hand, and wrote under the word "Ji Nian": once in his life, he will stay here for the rest of his life;

After finishing writing, Zhou Jinnian let go and said, "Ning Lang's signature."

Xie Ning wrote happily, signed his name at the bottom of the poem, picked up the painting and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more something went wrong, "Then this is not a love poem I wrote to you?"

Zhou Jinnian laughed and said nothing.

Xie Ning pouted and pinched Zhou Jinian's Adam's apple, "Hmph!"

Brother Yu is used to seeing the two fathers fighting again.Putting his little feet on his feet, he stretched out his arms to grab the egg roll and continued to chew.

Brother Yu can eat and sleep. He is still round and round at the age of three, and his whole body is soft and fleshy when he hugs him.

The couple got bored for a while, and Xie Ning went to the kitchen. With a cook at home, he doesn't cook often, but today he is in a good mood and wants to make soup for his husband.

Delicious Bao Yu, brother Pidianpidian, followed his father away, the little guy has forgotten his father's ferocious lecture just now, regardless of the adult's fault.

Brother Yu ran to the stove and sat in front of the threshold of the stove with a charcoal stick to draw the ground.If he dared to draw on the wall, Xie Ning would spank his ass.

Xie Ning planned to cook a haggis soup to drink, and a cook would help wash the tripe, intestines, lungs and meat.

All the ingredients are ready, Xie Ning will cook it, he is still very relaxed.

Fill the pot with clear water. After the water boils, put in the haggis, add firewood to the fire, skim off the foam, then pick it up and let it cool. Cut the haggis into strips.

After re-boiling the water, put the lamb bones, add Chinese herbal medicines such as Angelica dahurica, cinnamon and grass fruit, and ginger slices to taste, and boil the lamb bone soup.

After the mutton bone soup was boiled, the fragrance came out. Brother Yu stood up, holding the door and watching eagerly.

Xie Ning lifted the lid of the pot, put in the haggis, and continued to simmer over low heat.

I don't plan to cook in the evening, so let the cook make bread with flour, sesame seed cakes with haggis soup.

The scent made Brother Yu greedy, and shouted in a small voice that he was hungry, Xie Ning smiled and scratched his chin, "Have you eaten so many egg rolls, did they all go into the puppy's stomach?"

"Haha..." Brother Yu rushed to hug Daddy's leg, and continued to shout: "Daddy, I'm hungry."

In the evening, a large pot of haggis soup, with scallions, garlic sprouts, and milky white soup floating on it, makes you swallow when you look at it steaming hot.

Brother Yu has already developed a good habit of sitting and waiting obediently, watching his father fill the soup for the grandfathers first, and then serve him last.

Xie Ning took a biscuit and wanted to break it in half. Brother Yu pouted, "I want to eat the whole!"

"You can't finish it." Xie Ning knew his son's little milk belly too well.

Brother Yu pouted and groaned, "Woo...I don't like it...I can finish it!"

"Okay, okay." Xie Ning handed him a biscuit as big as Brother Yu's face, "If you can't finish it, I'll give it to your father."

Zhou Jinnian put down the soup bowl and laughed.

"Hey..." Xie Ning was embarrassed by his husband's smile, and smiled flatteringly with his eyes narrowed.

Every time at this time, the hall is the warmest, and Zhou Feng and his wife are very comfortable.

The biscuits were firm, and the cook worked hard to knead the dough. Although it was dry, it tasted delicious.Brother Yu took a bite, chewed slowly, pouted his mouth and drank the haggis soup.

There is a little fat floating on the haggis soup, but it is not greasy to drink, the mutton is fragrant, and the soup is mellow.Drink a bowl to keep you warm in winter.

Brother Yu really couldn't finish the whole biscuit, the dog's teeth were messed up, so he held up the biscuit and handed it to his father.

"Do you dare to ask for a whole one next time?" Zhou Jinian didn't take over immediately.

This time, Brother Yu could talk easily, and shook his head again and again, "No."

He just tasted it, and the whole thing is not very fragrant.

Only then did Zhou Jinnian take it over to help his son with the remaining half of the biscuits.

Brother Yu slipped out of the chair when he was full, and touched the lantern heater to play by himself.The stove was locked tightly, and the outer layer was wrapped with green cloth to prevent him from breaking open and touching the charcoal with his little hands.

Xie Ning took the lead in cooking haggis soup, and within a few days, Lin Jin went to buy sheep whips and came back. Xie Ning was forced to stay out of bed when winter came...

Zhou Ji Nian passed this year with a radiant face and a comfortable body and mind.

It's just that it didn't take long for the spring rain to come.

As the saying goes, spring is difficult and three days are sunny.In the 42nd year of Qingyuan, from the [-]th day of February, continuous spring rain enveloped Jianzhou Prefecture.

Zhou Jinian retrieved the information on the water level from the embankment envoy, and decided to go to the east coast of Haidong to have a look.

Xie Ning naturally wanted to follow him. Xie Ning's original words were: "If you don't tell me to follow, then my ability to communicate with carp is buried, isn't it?"

With the continuous drizzle, Brother Yu will definitely be left at home by his two fathers.

Xie Ning could sense the weather, so he picked a morning when the air was not so humid, and rode a horse with Zhou Jinnian, with stones behind him, and three government military officers, riding the horses to see the water level.

After leaving Jianzhou Mansion, the ground was full of mud pots and low-lying areas, making it difficult for horses to move. It took a whole morning on the road before finally reaching the east coast of Haidong.

"It's going to rain." Xie Ning raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling the humidity of the air.

Zhou Jinian turned around and told Shitou, "Go and inform the river embankment envoy, and I will show Ning Lang to the bank."

After speaking, he went to lead the horse, and Xie Ning got on the horse and headed towards the seaside.

It was rainy and cold, but after approaching the sea, the wind howled and Xie Ning shrank into his husband's arms, and was led to the viewing platform.

The water level has indeed risen a lot, just look at the water measuring stone pillars in the water.

A drop of rain fell on Xie Ning's forehead, he looked up at the sky, and said to Ji Nian: "Go back and wait until the rain stops."

Zhou Jinnian hugged him again and left the viewing platform.

The river embassy had already come to welcome them, and the river embassy did not expect that the magistrate would come to see the water level in person, so he was very disturbed.

The group returned to Jianhai Station, and just as they sat down, there was the sound of rain falling outside.

Zhou Jinnian sat in the upper seat with hot tea in front of him. He asked the embankment envoy, "In your opinion, what measures can be taken to solve the flood?"

There are still many professional embankment envoys. "In the flood season, we can only take dredging and sealing methods."

Dredging ponds and lakes is a big project, and the embankment made it impossible for the newly appointed magistrate to have the foresight to plan ahead.

People are like this. When things happen, of course they will solve them, but before they happen, they don't always know how to prevent them.

Zhou Jinian heard a lot of pertinent suggestions, and summed it up, it is to build a dam.This matter had to be reported to the imperial court, so Zhou Jinian could only go back and write a letter.

The rain kept falling, and the group was forced to stay in Jianhai Station to wait for the rain to stop.The river embassy gave the magistrate a room for him and Xie Ning to rest.

Hearing the sound of rain ticking outside the window, and the temperature was cold, Xie Ning was drowsy, and Zhou Jinnian sat by the window, holding him in his arms.Xie Ning leaned on Zhou Jinnian's leg, yawned, and squinted with his eyes closed.

Just like Xie Ning's perception, when the afternoon is announced, the rain breaks.

A group of people got on their horses and ran along the lower reaches of the sea, and they could see fish jumping out of the sea along the way.

Finding a coastal reef, Zhou Jinnian escorted Xie Ning to touch sea fish.

The sea is huge, and there are no carp hiding on the small rocky shore, so Xie Ning has nothing to gain.

Xie Ning shook his head as a signal, and talked about what he noticed, "Look at Ji Nian, these fish jump out of the water and all swim in one direction."

Zhou Jinian stood up and looked at the coastline. Indeed, the fish jumped in one direction as if they were being chased.

"Go back, I will report the flood to the court."

A group of people go out in the morning and return at night.Zhou Jinian went straight back to the government office, checked the information and wrote a memorial.

This spring, Zhou Jinnian is very busy.

Farmers want to harvest, and all counties and villages dig ditches to drain the farmland.The problem of rising sea level was reported, and the emperor sent a governor to build the state.

The governor is an official position established by the imperial court to worry about the excessive power of local officials and to avoid a battle with the imperial court. Its duty is to decentralize power and contain the magistrate.

So after the governor arrived in Jianzhou, he first checked the civil affairs of Zhou Jinnian, and then checked the collection of money and grain.

After sightseeing around for the last time, I headed back to Beijing.

Zhou Jinian only hated that he was not the powerful right minister in his previous life.This kind of governor who does not do anything is born with a higher official position than him. What is the big deal?Da Zai is a Beijing official.

At this time, it has entered summer in May, and the rain in the south will continue until early June.

Zhou Jinian ordered the evacuation of Haidong Village and Xitang Village along the coast, and temporarily moved to the nearby Nanyu County and Yantang County.

……

Xie Ning's overseas trading business has paid off, and the market has opened up. He bought a piece of land and established a business.

After running outside for a day, just after returning home to visit his son, someone came to inform Zhang Hai to see him.

Xie Ning arranged to have a face-to-face meeting with Zhang Hai in the outdoor gazebo, and Brother Yu rushed over to stick to him, "Daddy, do I look good?"

Brother Yu's soft hair is scattered behind his head, tied up with a blue cloth, dressed like a little brother.Without the liveliness of a bun, the little man has a bit of grace.

Xie Ning knelt down and smoothed his son's hair, "It's so pretty, who tied it for you?"

"Grandpa." Brother Yu is smug, and the little baby knows how to dress up.

"It looks good." Xie Ning praised again, shaved his son's chin and said, "Go and play with grandpa, and daddy will go talk about something."

Brother Yu was also obedient, nodded obediently, and was led by the little maid to find grandpa Lin Jin.

Xie Ning went to the gazebo, and Lu He stayed under the steps of the gazebo.

Zhang Hai hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xie Ning, Xie Ning said: "How many times have I said this, it doesn't matter about these empty etiquettes."

Zhang Hai smiled honestly, the man in front of him was the magistrate's husband, even if he was a businessman, his status was different from that of ordinary businessmen.

"Sit down, but there is a problem with the breeding?"

Zhang Hai hesitated for a while, then sat down, and begged: "Lord Ning, please help! Master Li ordered to drive out the villagers in Haidong. My family has been rooted here for generations, and soft fish farming has almost taken over the entire family's property! Why? Can it be easily moved away? This is not just about destroying my Zhang clan, it is about destroying the roots of the entire Haidong Village..."

Zhang Hai choked up as he spoke, and Xie Ning couldn't bear it when he heard it.

Mr. Li is the magistrate of Nanyu County, temporarily in charge of Nanyu County.But he was ordered by Zhou Jinnian, but this did not mean to drive away, but to evacuate to save his life.

"There is a misunderstanding in this, and it is not to drive away. Since the beginning of spring, there have been successive torrential rains and the sea level in Jianzhou has skyrocketed. My husband is really thinking about your safety. Not only Haidong Village, but also Xitang Village in Yantang County. You were asked to evacuate, you are too close to the sea, you are afraid of accidents." Xie Ning tried his best to explain calmly, mainly to calm Zhang Hai down.

Zhang Hai waved his hand, "My Zhang family has lived on the coast of Haidong Village for decades. There can be no accidents! I'm afraid it's..."

"What? But it doesn't matter."

"Yes... I also heard that Haidong is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and the rich and powerful want to build villas, Master Li also listened to the orders from the people above..."

Isn't the person above Mr. Li his husband Zhou Jinnian?

Xie Ning had a look of disbelief, "It's nonsense!"

Xie Ning was angry, these rumors were meant to tarnish his husband's reputation!

"Zhang Hai, if there is a real flood, it will be too late to say anything! I just want to say that the government has already sensed the danger. If you evacuate now, the most you will lose is your belongings. You can earn it while you are alive, but if you die Woolen cloth?"

Zhang Hai frowned, with a bitter expression on his face, obviously he couldn't listen to it, his ancestral house, the breeding factory he spent a huge amount of money to build...

"From another angle, you evacuate now and take everything you can with you. Isn't that another way to reduce losses?"

Zhang Hai couldn't bear it any longer, and asked directly: "We have lived by the sea for generations, why don't we know the situation of the sea better than the government? There is no danger at all. To put it bluntly, it is just an excuse to occupy Haidong Village!"

Xie Ning immediately turned cold, "Presumptuous! You can move as soon as you want! Whether it is really dangerous or not, we have time to decide."

Zhang Hai stood up and said harshly, "Since that's the case, there's no need to continue our cooperation with Master Ning. Let's leave."

Zhang Hai rushed away angrily, Lu He walked up the steps into the gazebo in twos and twos, and walked to Xie Ning, "Master Ning, don't be angry, why should Zhang Hai be angry with you..."

"No problem, as far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than shutting down the Xie Ji firm." Xie Ning was angry.

For the sake of the safety of the people, his husband has traveled to the viewing platform many times, consulted historical materials, and wrote so many memorials and posts. The court above does not care, and the people below do not cooperate!I don't know what's good or bad, I don't know what's good or bad! !

The uneducated Xie Ning was so angry that all he could think of was the words 'I don't know what to do'.

……

In a few days, the story of forcing the fishermen to evacuate became known all over the city. People with a heart bought beggars and young children, and a doggerel spread:

The magistrate surnamed Zhou covered Jianzhou, and corrupt officials sucked the blood of fishermen.

The people along the coast were homeless and turned into ghosts to knock on the door of their houses.

When this poem reached Zhou Jinian's ears, Zhou Jinian propped his forehead with one hand, and there was nothing but sadness in his heart.

It is not too late to believe what people said before you were alive until you die in Huangquan?

He was very sure that even if Zhou Jinnian came forward and said that he had lived two lifetimes, the two counties of Jianzhou Prefecture were flooded in the last lifetime, killing and injuring more than a hundred people!Before the flood broke out, no one would believe his words.

If the flood is allowed to rage, the whole country will know the trouble, and the casualties will be heavy. If he comes to manage it again, the credit will definitely be greater than the credit of preventing it in advance and reducing the natural disaster.

But Zhou Ji Nian was unwilling.

Now people will only say, if I don't move, it will be my fate if the flood comes.But if something really happened, this sentence would be ignored.

Shitou brought tea to Zhou Jinian, wishing to share something for his master, "Master Nian, I asked Wu Wei to arrest the person who spread the rumor..."

Zhou Jinnian raised his other hand and waved it, "No need."

If he was caught, it would not be as simple as spreading rumors.

Zhou Jinnian looked at the curling green smoke rising from the teacup, and said lightly, "If you know the secret, you will be backlashed."

He admitted it.

Shi Shi didn't understand, Zhou Jinnian said again: "Don't let Ning Lang and the others know about this doggerel."

"Yes." Stone replied immediately.

There are still two years left, Zhou Ji Nian still has time to find a way to reduce the danger brought by this riot.

It's just that paper can't contain fire after all, Xie Ning still heard about the rumors that insulted his husband!

After returning from the street, Xie Ning went to the stables, "I'll go to Haidong Village."

Luhe chased after Xie Ning, but she couldn't ride a horse, so she couldn't stop her, so she had to send reinforcements to the government office.

And Xie Ning had already ridden the horse out of the house, this was the first time he rode the horse alone.

The horse is also a mount with aura, and felt the owner's impatience, but nothing went wrong.

When we arrived at Haidong Village, it was already dark, and a few fishermen were catching the sea with oil lamps on the beach.

He is good at water, he wants to find a few sea fish with aura to see the situation.He accompanied Ji Nian to go back and forth from the government office to the Guanhai Terrace many times. The embankment officer only said that the increase in the water level was unusual, but he didn't know why the husband was so sure that there would be a flood.

So he wanted to find out for himself, what would happen?Will Lingyu tell him what to do to resist this disaster?He wants to share this pressure for Zhou Jinnian.

Looking at the dark sea, Xie Ning muttered to himself: "I, Xie Ning, am also an adult, and I also have the idea of ​​protecting my husband. If there is danger, I will protect myself, but if I can't try, I won't be allowed to try! You can’t even deny me the chance to work hard! Please!”

Xie Ning found a deserted corner, gritted his teeth and jumped into the sea...

There was a fishy and salty smell in the sea water. Xie Ning had good water skills, and he swam all the way chasing the creatures in the sea, touching the fish one by one, and there were also small schools of fish chasing him, but he dodged them nimbly.

At this time, Xie Ning was touching a fish that glowed blue, and the scene finally emerged in his mind.

Xie Ning stood still in the sea, his consciousness had entered the depths, and not far away, a huge monster was staring at him...

Xie Ning's consciousness painted a fish, which came from the distant deep sea with the school of fish, and a wave behind him threw it out of the sea, then fell into the sea again in a daze, and swam with all its innate intuition...

But the waves behind him kept chasing after them, and kept lifting it from the sea surface. It realized that the sea water seemed to want to drive them to the beach, or it could be said that the sea water wanted to occupy the beach and cover the houses...

Suddenly the fish in his hand sensed danger and escaped from his palm. Xie Ning lost its consciousness. After returning to himself, he only felt the surrounding sea water swirling towards a certain place. Xie Ning opened his eyes, and in front of him was a huge A sea monster with sharp teeth in its open mouth!

Xie Ning had no ability to think, he stabbed down instinctively, the corner of his clothes was pulled by the sea monster's teeth, he took off his outer shirt and fled from the tiger's mouth.

Escaping from the dead, Xie Ning came out of the sea and came up with a plan. If he could lure this sea monster to appear in the shallow sea, the fishermen would definitely evacuate, and then he could help her husband solve the problem.

And night is a good time, fishermen will not go to sea at night, so they will not hurt innocent people, and sea monsters are not lethal after being stranded, and will not cause harm to fishermen.

……

After hearing what Lu He had said, Zhou Jinnian smashed the brush, went to the stable without saying a word, took the horse and chased Xie Ning.

You don't need to guess him to know that Ning Lang is definitely going to enter the sea!It's because he has been too used to Ning Lang, the sea is vast, let alone dangerous sea monsters, whether he has the physical strength to swim back is also a problem!

Stone and several military officers followed closely behind.

When the group arrived at Haidong Village, they only found a steed strolling by the sea. Xie Ning probably had already entered the sea.

Zhou Jinnian clenched his hand pulling the rein tightly, and for the first time wanted to commit 'domestic violence' to Fu Lang.

"Look for me! Find someone along the coast, and report immediately if there is any situation." Zhou Jinian gritted his teeth and ordered.

In the dark, Shitou led people to borrow torches from fishermen, and shouted Xie Ning's name along the coast.

And the person they were looking for, Xie Ning, got lost in the sea...

Xie Ning hid in the crevices of the coral. He intended to lure the sea monster to the foreshore, but he didn't know where to swim.

Seeing that the sea monster stopped playing with him and turned back to the deep sea, he finally heard the bustle and bustle along the coast, the sound of gongs and drums beating.

Xie Ning gritted his teeth and scraped his calf on the coral, blood flowed out, which attracted the sea monster to look for him again...

Zhou Jinnian was holding a torch, his soap boots were soaked, and the hem of his official uniform was full of sand. He found a fisherman to rent a fishing boat and planned to go deep into the sea.

"The waves are rising! Run!" Someone shouted at the beach, and all the fishermen rushed to the beach.

Zhou Ji Nian only saw huge waves churning up, and the waves rolled up were as high as two adults.

Then I felt the ground under my feet tremble, and a huge monster lay on the shallows, flicking its tail and struggling...

"Sea monster! The sea monster is coming..."

"Water ghost, there are water ghosts..."

There are all kinds of shouts. Seeing such a giant monster, it is estimated that it can swallow two living people in one mouth. Facing a creature stronger than itself, the fear in the hearts of the people is aroused...

Zhou Jinnian's heart sank for a while, the monster was nearly ten meters long by visual inspection!Where is his Ning Lang...

And Xie Ning came ashore from another foreshore. He thought he was smart. Sea monsters had no feet. Out of the water, the foreshore was just a giant fish to be slaughtered, but it could serve as a deterrent.

He came back from elsewhere, and no one would associate the sea monster with him, except his husband.

So when his white shadow appeared in the crowd and was recognized by Shi Shi, Zhou Jinnian turned around and saw the dripping Fu Lang, the worry in his eyes instantly turned into fury...
