Fortune Orb [Qing]

The capital is not a place with much rain. In previous years, there would be a few rains in March and April. This year is extremely dry. Leaving aside a few heavy snowfalls in winter, only rain...it must have been seven or eight months.

The lack of rain for more than half a year has no effect on the rich and noble families, so Baozhu didn't notice it at all, but Yinzhen heard some complaints from the courtiers recently, especially the department in charge of farming, and now he is already in a hurry.

From the beginning of spring plowing, the old farmers are worried, who knows when the spring rain will come, if there is no rain, should they plant all the drought-tolerant crops?They looked forward to it from the beginning of plowing the field, until the field was fully healed and ready for planting, but there was still no sign of rain.

Those with courage immediately gave up the idea of ​​conventional planting, and planted enough drought-tolerant crops in their own fields.But most people still have expectations, thinking that it is not a year without a late spring rain, because it is too alarmist to say that there will be a severe drought this year.

Thinking about it this way, even though I felt a little uneasy, I still rushed to plant the seedlings.

If the rain was only ten days and a half months late, it would not be a problem. Who would have thought that the old farmer had been looking forward to it from February to May, but there was still not a drop of rain.Every household carries water from the small river to irrigate, which is already a great consumption, and they also need to drink water...the water level in the river has dropped a lot.

When the weather is cold, you can bear it even if you work hard. As we approach May, the sun is getting stronger and stronger every day. The old farmers who watch the sky eat are all worried. Carrying water for irrigation, but still panic, the well water will not bottom out if this continues?How long can the river last?

Because of the inconvenient transportation, at first I only thought it was a drought in some areas, but more and more urgent reports came to Beijing. Since April, Kangxi has hardly smiled, worrying, worrying every day.

The south is supported by big rivers, and the situation is good, but the north is already very bad. Taking the capital as an example, the daily water supply has begun to have problems.For half a month in a row it was sunny and the temperature was soaring. Bao Zhu would go out every now and then to see the Crown Princess or Fifth Sister-in-law, but now she was not willing to go out.She stood under the eaves of her house for a while, then went to Dongnuan Pavilion to write a few short letters, and handed them to the two sisters-in-law on the same day.

She also wanted to send a letter to her natal family, so Er Niang sent someone to remind her to bring back a few more water tanks and fill them up.It would be fine if the rain came, but if it continued like this, even if there were no chaos at the root of the imperial city, life would be difficult.

Water is different from ice carbon, it is essential, especially in hot summer, how can you not drink water after sweating?If you don't take a bath for a day, you will be suffocated to death.

The messenger who came over spoke clearly, but Baozhu was confused.

Especially when I heard that the water level near the capital has dropped sharply, the small rivers have dried up, and it is hard to say how long the big rivers can last... Baozhu's reaction was very honest, she blinked, thinking, are you kidding me?The lake water in my house is still the same, clear, cool, and there is nothing missing.

She had a lot of doubts in her heart, and there were some doubts on her face.

Seeing her like this, the person who came to deliver the message was not surprised.

Before Fujin came out of the cabinet, he was well protected, and he didn't care about big and small things. After marrying Lord Jiubeile, the situation would only get worse. Who in the imperial city didn't know that Jiubeile was a madman who spoiled his wife.

It's not surprising that she didn't hear the wind. I think Master Jiu didn't want to make Fujin bother, and put all the pressure on his shoulders.

Yinzhen's mentality, these serving servants can't understand, if you want them to say, to marry a wife, you have to choose the one who can do the job, this kind of finger is not touched by the sun, and usually just enjoys the freshness of Miss Jiao, who doesn't care about everything. Few people can afford to serve her... Marrying her is like marrying an ancestor.

This kind of thought didn't last for a while, when he saw Baozhu's face that looked like a fairy, he felt that such a fairy was indeed born to enjoy blessings, and the gap between people is so big.

Baozhu doesn't know how to read minds, so how can she think that a simple doubt from her will make the heart of the person who came to convey the message turn back and forth.

She simply didn't care what other people thought, so she made people wait and asked Tiandong to bring the embroidery she made in her free time. They were two summer shirts, made of satin. The material was light and breathable, very suitable for summer wear. The upper body is extremely comfortable.

"You take this back and hand it to Er Niang, don't let her worry, everything will be arranged by our master."

In the evening, when Yinzhen returned to the mansion, Baozhu told him about the matter, Yinzhen didn't answer her questions immediately, but sat down and hugged Baozhu into her arms.I don't know if it's an illusion, even through his clothes, he feels cool as long as he holds the orb.

This snow-skinned body with icy muscles and bones made Yinzhen so comfortable that she wanted to moan.

Seeing that he was still living in a dream, Baozhu stretched out her hand to pinch his handsome face, it was useless, but successfully summoned his soul.

"I'm still confused at the moment, so if I know what's going on, I'll tell you quickly."

Usually, Yinzhen has to tease her, eat soft tofu before getting down to business.But this matter is of great importance, so he didn't hold back, and said directly: "I didn't want to tell you, I was afraid that you would be worried. Judging from the current weather, I am afraid that there will be a severe drought this year."

As he spoke, he sighed: "After the beginning of spring, there was not much rain in the whole country. Not long after I came back from Hongchuan, the urgent memorials from eight hundred miles were sent to the capital. Discussing the matter in the South Study Room, I still haven’t come up with a solution. If there is only drought in the south or drought in the north, that’s all. If there is drought in both the north and the south, where does the water come from?”

Baozhu frowned, she thought about it, there hasn't been much rain in the past few months, but what did the family say?

"They say the rivers around the capital are all dry, why is our house still in good condition? I saw Cinderella flopping about in the lake yesterday."

This Yinzhen really couldn't tell. When he realized that the water level in his house hadn't dropped, he became very careful and stopped him calmly. He would rather let Baozhu go out to a banquet than let her entertain guests at the house. At the same time, he quietly observed.The koi pond in the imperial garden was fine, it was because there were eunuchs carrying water into it, other families were not so lucky, the water in the lotus pond in Zhijun Prince's Mansion was much less.

The conjecture in his heart was confirmed. Yinzhen was both happy and worried. He turned around and straightened up the house. At the same time, he thanked Dong E's family again from the bottom of his heart, and thanked them for raising an unlucky daughter. He wanted to be a concubine, so Baozhu came to him.

Yinzhen observed for half a month, and other households were complaining about water shortage, but his own household was really not affected at all, not only the lake water was as clear and beautiful as usual, but also the two wells in the household were normal.

Like there's no such thing as a drought, they're not nervous at all.

Without the pressure of water, he had other worries, and Yinzhen was still hesitating whether to tell the story, when Baozhu said that he saw Cinderella flopping about in the lake yesterday... He wished that someone would arrest the wolf cub immediately, You have to teach it a lesson.

Others have to save water to wash their faces, and it dares to pollute the entire Hongye Lake!

That is a life-saving lake that never dries up even in droughts!

Yinzhen felt pain in his heart, seeing him like this, the corners of Baozhu's mouth curled up slightly, and felt that the problem was so serious at the moment, when it was not time for joy, he withdrew the smile that was about to spread.

Baozhu stretched out her hand to caress his chest, and asked if it was true?Drought really coming?

Yinzhen sighed again: "I didn't believe it at first, but it's the truth."

"That's really a blessing I cultivated in my previous life."

At this time, Baozhu also felt Yinzhen's mood. When other families were worried about running out of water, they didn't have this problem. This is a good thing, but it may also lead to disaster.She quietly lay on Yinzhen's chest, put her head on his neck, and said softly, "Shall we thank guests behind closed doors?"

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows. This matter has troubled him for a long time, and he has not yet come up with a perfect idea.

Baozhu thought wildly for a long time, but she didn't have a charter. She didn't like to waste her brain on these things, so she simply broke the pot and said, "Go to the palace tomorrow and talk to Huang Ama directly! For others, Huang Ama Ma is a gentleman, and to him, he is his father. I, Ama, always say that when my children and grandchildren gather together, I will still be his most beloved and charming daughter. I have already married and established a business, so I can’t ask my own father for help when I encounter problems?”

Hearing this all of a sudden, Yinzhen chuckled lightly, what kind of solution is this?

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was indeed a good choice.

First of all, Huang Ama enjoys the feeling of being trusted by his son, and he likes it very much.

Secondly, he should have known about the origin of Fujin himself. He probably had investigated it when he pointed out the marriage.

……

Anyway, I have been mentally prepared, no matter how much it is, it is not so difficult to accept.

Yinzhen also brought himself to think about it, and if he was in the position of Huang Ama, there was a family with a well that never dried up. Get over it.

To be in such a situation, it is obvious that he is a blessed person blessed by the heavens, so it is easy to move him, but who will bear the responsibility when the retribution of the world comes?

Thinking about it this way, my family is really that hot potato.

Yinzhen hugged the orb and kissed for a long time, which made her gasp.

"Good Fujin! You are really my lucky star!"

"This is a good idea. I'll go find Huang Ama soon!"

Yinzhen is a quick-tempered person, he does things in a hurry, and never dawdles.He wanted to find Huang Ama after the morning court the next day, but found that the atmosphere in the court was not right.Suo'etu was even more impatient than before. After the next court, he chased the prince out, whispering incessantly.

Haven't given up yet?

Yinzhen thought about it again, this year's severe drought just provided the best opportunity for these unruly ministers, no wonder they were reluctant to give up.

He looked coldly at the prince who had already figured it out, and worried that Suo'etu had given him too much ecstasy soup and made him foolish.Originally, he wanted to find Emperor Ama immediately, but now he gave up the idea and said to wait and see.

To see if the prince can hold on, and wonder if Suo'etu is really that wicked, and is planning to use natural disasters as a raft.

If they were really going to be rebellious, they would just use their own lake water to kill him back.

You said that the emperor was not benevolent, so heaven sent punishment.

In my opinion, it is the fifty-fifty avenue, the forty-nine in the sky, and the one in which people escape.

Life is not in my house!

Thinking this way in his heart, he still hoped that the prince would be stable and not go to a dead end.
