The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 912

[Chapter 912 Hot]

The sun was like a fireball, scorching badly. The weather was sultry, too, with no wind at all.

Oak-hee fanned the child and said, “This weather is terribly hot.” It hasn’t rained since the last torrential rain. During this time, Oak Hee, who was confinement, really lived like a year. Luckily, Oak-hee was able to hold back, but the three children were not enough. I had no choice but to put a basin of ice in the corner of the Bisha cabinet.

Mother Quan handed Yuxi a bowl of porridge with red dates, white fungus and lotus seeds, and said, “It hasn’t rained for half a month, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Princess, I’m afraid it’s going to be really dry.” This kind of weather is very abnormal, like Last year was also hot, but not as muggy.

Oak Xi drank the bowl of porridge and said, “No one can stop it. But it’s only half a month, so it’s too early to say drought.”

Mother Quan thought for a while and said, “Princess, I only entered the palace because of the drought.” At that time, she was only six years old.

Seeing Yuxi looking at her, Mammy Quan said, “Because of the disaster, the food production in the field was severely reduced. If it was only like this, I could still receive 20% to 30%. But I didn’t expect that after the drought, there would be another plague of locusts, and All the food was eaten up by the locusts.” This is Mother Quan’s personal experience.

Yuxi’s face stiffened, and she said, “Mammy, do you mean that once there is a drought, there will be a locust plague?”

Mother Quan nodded and said: “This situation is definitely not accidental. The princess can go to check the local chronicles.”

Oak-hee said, “Let’s talk about it when I’m out of confinement!” Oak-hee still had three days to go.

Just as he was talking, Yun Qing strode in and asked Yu Xi, “You wrote to Wu Kuo without telling me?” Yunqing was not told.

Yu Xi hummed: “I asked Wu Kuo to buy one million shi of grain, and let him pay for the grain first. What’s the matter? Are things not going well?”

Yun Qing was so angry that he said, “Didn’t I say that there is enough food, so I don’t need to buy it? Why do you take my words as deaf ears?”

Yuxi said to Mammy Quan, “Go and bring a bowl of lotus seed soup over, and let the lord reduce the fire.” The weather was sultry, and people’s anger grew.

After Mammy Quan went out, Yuxi said, “I was just talking with Mammy Quan about the fact that it hasn’t rained for a while. Mammy Quan just told me that droughts are often accompanied by locust plagues.”

Yun Qing’s expression changed, and he said, “What? Locust plague?” The three types of natural disasters he was most afraid of were floods, droughts and locust plagues. If there is a plague of locusts, the people will be left with nothing.

Yuxi nodded and said, “Let Tan Tuo and eldest brother check the local chronicles to see if there are any records of this. If there are more than three such records, we have to take preventive measures.” Do not stay, this shows the terrible plague of locusts.

Yun Qing hurriedly stood up and said, “I’ll go right now.” After speaking, he hurried out. As for the question of why Yuxi asked Wu Kuo to buy food just now, he had already thrown it away.

Oak Xi shook his head and said to himself, “What can I do with such an impatient person in the future?” Whether it is political or military affairs, it is necessary to maintain sufficient calm and rationality. And Yunqing is far from reaching this level.

When Grandma Quan came in, she saw that Yun Qing was no longer there, she put down the lotus seed soup and said, “Your Highness is out?” When she heard that she was going to look up the local annals, Grandma Quan said nothing more.

Tan Tuo and Han Jianming moved quickly, and they gave Yun Qing a reply at noon. Han Jianming said solemnly: “My lord, the local chronicle of Shaanxi recorded a total of twelve droughts, seven of which were very serious, and all seven were accompanied by locust plagues.” For them, this was an extremely serious disaster. matter.

Tan Tuo said: “Although it has not rained for half a month, it is still too early to say that there is a drought, but we still need to take preventive measures.” Not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Yunqing was silent for a while, and asked Tan Tuo and Han Jianming: “Do you think there will be a drought?” In fact, up to now, Yunqing still hopes that the drought is a false alarm.

Han Jianming nodded and said, “There will definitely be.” Han Jianming was certain that it was Oak Xi who said there was a drought, not some old farmer. Those old farmers were just used by Oak Xi as a cover.

Tan Tuo put it more euphemistically: “My lord, I asked a few old farmers a few days ago. They all said that the weather is abnormal this year, and there may be a drought.” The people below did not know about the possible drought. They To say that the weather is abnormal is based on years of experience.

Yun Qing looked a little grim. After a while, he said, “It will take a few more days for the millet to mature.” .

Tan Tuo said: “The millet can be received in the warehouse at most in half a month. This should be no problem. What I am worried about now is that if there is a locust plague, the entire Shaanxi will be left without any grass.”

Han Jianming suddenly asked, “What did Yuxi say?” It was impossible for Yunqing to think that the drought would accompany the locust plague. So this is 100% related to Oak-hee.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, “Yu Xi just asked me to check the local chronicles to see if the drought will accompany the locust plague.” Yun Qing also didn’t understand how Yu Xi knew about this.

Tan Tuo said: “Maybe we think too much, there is no drought at all, or it is just a small drought.” The biggest problem now is that they can’t control this kind of thing, so worrying is useless.

Han Jianming said: “We have so much food in storage, even if there is a drought or a locust plague, we are not afraid.” These grains are their confidence.

When Yun Qing heard this, he said, “The princess asked Wu Kuo to buy one million stone grains in Jiangxi and Anhui. These grains are already on their way to the northwest.” Wu Kuo’s movements were still very fast.

Tan Tuo said in a low voice, “If there is really a drought and a locust plague, then the princess is really the reincarnated Guanyin Bodhisattva.” They have been preparing since last year and have stored enough food. As Han Jianming said, even if there is a natural disaster, don’t be afraid.

Yun Qing said: “I still hope that all this is our unfounded worry.” Once there is a drought, it is not just a matter of the Northwest. Neighboring provinces are bound to escape.

Tan Tuo and Han Jianming said in unison: “We also hope that what we are worried about will not happen.” Once there is a drought and a locust plague, the loss is incalculable.

Three days later, Oak-hee gave birth. In the first three confinement periods, Oak-hee had to wash three times. This time it was better than before, only washed twice.

From head to toe, Oak Hee felt relieved. After taking a shower, Oak-hee sat down at the dressing table.

Looking at the person with the round face in the mirror, Yuxi couldn’t help pinching her face and smiled, “It’s all meat, I have to reduce it.” During the confinement period, Yuxi had already lost a lot of weight. Less, but still a lot of fat on the body.

Mother Qu gave Oak-hee a high bun to make her face look smaller. Mother Qu said while combing her hair, “Princess is just right now, neither fat nor thin.” The older generation thinks that being plump is a blessing.

Oak Xi chuckled softly and said, “I can’t wear my old clothes anymore, it’s okay!” If she was as thin as her weight before giving birth, that would be fine.

At noon that day, the family got together for dinner. After the meal, Liu Er said to Yuxi, “Mother, you asked me to take care of Ah Hao for a month, and it’s been a month now.” She said she was taking care of her, but she was actually playing with Ah Hao. Liu’er was only four and a half years old, so how could she take care of Qihao.

Oak Hee smiled and asked, “What? Ah Hao is too naughty, so he doesn’t like to play with him?”

Seeing this, Liu Er quickly shook his head and said, “Mother, although Ah Hao is naughty, he will be obedient as long as he is coaxed. It’s just that I have fallen behind without practicing the piano for a while, so I have to make up for it quickly.”

Yuxi smiled and nodded: “From tomorrow, Ah Hao will be taken back to the main courtyard, you don’t need to play with him every day.”

Liu Er let out a long breath.

Ok-hee looked at Liu Er’s face and chuckled in her heart. Let Liu Er play with Ah Hao, it really embarrassed her. But this month, Liu Er did not slack off, but did her best to take care of Ah Hao. For Oak-hee, that was enough.

Before the afternoon nap, Yun Qing said to Yu Xi, “You take another day off and take care of the government affairs the day after!” He was really overwhelmed during this time. If it weren’t for the help of a few capable officials such as Tan Tuo and Han Jianming, he might have Can’t stand it anymore.

Oak Xi smiled and said, “You don’t need to take a break anymore, let’s start tomorrow! You’re also exhausted during this time, and you will be able to relax earlier if you take over government affairs earlier.”

Yun Qing happily agreed: “Okay, then tomorrow.” In a few days, there is no need to work from morning to night every day.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days and months have passed, and it still hasn’t rained for these ten days. The hot sun dried the small ditch, and the fish and shrimp in the ditch turned their white belly.

Zaozao was originally afraid of the heat, but it was hot and stuffy this day, so she couldn’t stand it anymore and ran to live with Liu’er. The sisters have a good relationship, Zaozao is willing to live in her yard, Liuer is very happy, and even chooses the coolest house for Zaozao.

Not only Zaozao can’t stand the heat, Qi Hao and Brother Rui can’t stand it either. Even using ice at night, the four brothers could not sleep well. If you don’t sleep well, you can get sick easily. Even Qi Hao, who doesn’t get sick on weekdays, is sick, not to mention Brother Rui.

The chickens and dogs danced for a few days, and it was only after a few children that they became agile. Yuxi looked at the children who looked sad, and couldn’t help but discuss with Yun Qing, “The Green Bamboo Courtyard is cooler. I want to bring the children to live in it. What do you think?” It is a yard full of bamboo. One of Ji Xuan’s staff likes bamboo very much, so he ordered a lot of bamboo to be transplanted into the yard. After more than ten years, most of the yard is made of bamboo. Of course, it was not called Qingzhuyuan before, but Yuzhuju.

Yun Qing said, “Could it be too cold in the Green Bamboo Courtyard?” The Green Bamboo Courtyard was too shady and cool, but he was fine, as he was afraid that the four children could not bear it.

Yuxi shook her head and said, “If it’s not too hot, I don’t want to move inside. When the weather cools down, I’ll move back to the main courtyard.” The weather was so hot that several children ate a lot less than before.

Yun Qing nodded and said, “You don’t think it’s a hindrance, then move!” He also wanted to live in the Green Bamboo Courtyard, which was much hotter than the Green Bamboo Courtyard.

ps: I have something to do today, the update may be postponed to ten o’clock in the evening, sorry.
