After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 299 Marry Meng Ao When He Comes Back Safely

Lu Wanzhi stood up and flipped through the bookshelf behind her to find a bamboo slip with two big characters of Qianmen engraved on it. Lu Wanzhi put the bamboo slip in front of Zhao Heng and said, "You see clearly, this is the eight generals of Qianmen."

Zhao Heng flipped through it, and all the records in it were gambling tricks, "Brother Huang really lied to me, why did he lie to me?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Everyone behind the opening of a gambling shop is not afraid of things. Although you are the prince of the county, if you go to a gambling shop, you will not be recognized. If you use a thousand tricks and you are rarely discovered, you will definitely have one of your hands chopped off." of.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not teach you the art of a thousand schools, but teaches you the art of a thousand schools of armor, presumably because he does not want you to cause trouble in the gambling house. "

Lu Wanzhi took a sip of tea, and continued: "Besides, this skill of a thousand schools is impossible to guard against, some entire gambling houses are full of eight generals, who specialize in catching big fish, that's why I don't allow you to go to the gambling houses.

Many gambling houses are desperadoes who regard money as their life, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. After a person becomes a gambler, all relatives and nine clans will not recognize him, so naturally no one will be afraid of whether you are the prince of the county. "

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "You're right, I won't go to the casino again in the future."

Lu Wanzhi said slowly: "It seems that His Royal Highness is really good to you. He is even willing to teach you the skill of Dunjia, which is very rare."

Zhao Heng said: "Is it difficult? I think this arrangement is much simpler than those who memorize those words, and so on."

Lu Wanzhi smiled lightly and said, "Where is the letter from Shen Luozhi?"

Zhao Heng said: "Throw it away."

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng and said, "Did you really throw it away? He wrote a letter, how could I not reply?"

Zhao Heng said: "What kind of letter should you reply? You don't need to reply. It's another autumn exam. He must be busy in the Imperial Academy. Let's not bother him."

Lu Wanzhi: "..."

Entering the dog days of July, the cicadas still sing non-stop, and there are strong winds and heavy rains for days.

It rained heavily for three days, and there were reports of flash floods everywhere in Shanyin County.

Zhao Heng was very busy, there was a strong wind and heavy rain outside, so he went to various embankments and arranged for people to guard the embankments.

Lu Wanzhi saw the strong wind and heavy rain outside in the room, and asked Lu Yunxuan beside him, "Does this mountain shade have such strong wind and heavy rain every year?"

Lu Yunxuan said: "That's not true, it only happens when there is a hurricane. This is the hurricane. The Shanyin side is still doing well. The hurricane doesn't come every year, but if it comes, many people will definitely die."

Lu Wanzhi looked outside and was extremely worried about Zhao Heng. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have gone to help Zhao Heng.

But now, she dare not make fun of the child in her womb.

Lu Wanzhi instructed Xingrui who was on the side: "Go and open the door of the front yard of the yamen. If someone's house is damaged by the hurricane, they can come to the yamen to rest for a while."

Xingrui responded, "Yes."

Lu Wanzhi grew up in the Central Plains of Chang'an, and it was the first time she saw the power of a hurricane. Lu Wanzhi stroked her lower abdomen, thinking that it would be bad if she encountered such a day during childbirth.

Lu Yunxuan said from the side: "Sister, are you worried about the little prince? Don't worry, it's fine with Meng Ao by his side."

On the edge of the Hejiang River.

The heavy rain fell obliquely, and everyone took bags of sandbags to reinforce the embankment. Once the embankment breaks here, several villages on the edge of the Hejiang River will also suffer.

"Heng!"

The rain was too loud, and Meng Ao shouted vigorously, "Go back to the pavilion to rest first, and let the subordinates come down here. You are not good at water, and it will be too dangerous if the embankment breaks."

Zhao Heng wiped his face with his hands and said: "As the official of Shanyin parents, how can I ignore the comfort of the people and go to the gazebo by myself?"

Meng Ao said: "You are the parent officer, so you have to protect yourself. The wind and rain are too strong here!"

Zhao Heng said loudly to Meng Ao: "Why are you bothered? Either resist the sandbags, or shut up! Don't bother the king of this county!"

Seeing Zhao Heng carrying two sandbags, Meng Ao didn't say any more, and stepped forward to carry the sandbags.

Jiang Li on the side looked at Zhao Heng and said, "Finally, I have some bloodyness like the king of Chu."

Listening to Jiang Li's words, Zhao Heng snorted softly, "If you want to tell me, don't fight the sandbags."

Seeing the urgent rain, all the people were a little powerless. Seeing that the young masters and brothers in brocade clothes in the yamen were still carrying sandbags, they tried their best again.

"There are not enough sandbags."

"The tree in front fell down, and the horse was unwilling to run under the heavy rain, and the big tree blocked the road again!"

Zhao Heng listened to Xu Baotou coming to report, and seeing that it was getting darker and darker, he really wanted to curse, "Light up the lights, Meng Ao, Jiang Li, follow me to fight the sandbags."

Inside the yamen.

It was already dark, after Lu Wanzhi had dinner, seeing that Zhao Heng hadn't returned yet, the strong wind at the door made the doors and windows creak.

Lu Yunxuan leaned into Lu Wanzhi's arms and said, "Sister, will anything happen to brother-in-law and Meng Ao?"

Lu Wanzhi hugged Lu Yunxuan lightly and said, "They will be fine."

Lu Yunxuan said to Lu Wanzhi: "Sister, I heard that the Crown Princess is pregnant, right?"

Lu Wanzhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Lu Yunxuan said softly: "Princess Huaying almost died this time. I can see that elder brother likes Princess Huaying. Is the grudge between us and the Meng family settled?"

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said: "Mother does not agree to your marriage with Meng Ao because she is afraid that if you marry into the Meng family, your mother-in-law will look down on you and bully you. As long as Meng Ao puts on enough posture, mother will definitely agree to your marriage. "

Lu Yunxuan said: "If Meng Ao can return safely this time, I will marry him."

Lu Wanzhi said: "In the script, if you say this, something will happen to Meng Ao."

"Ah?" Lu Yunxuan covered her mouth and said, "Then I won't marry him when he returns safely."

Lu Wanzhi smiled, "Just kidding, you can sleep here today, I think Zhao Heng won't come back."

Lu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Yes."

After midnight, the wind blew up, and the rain stopped.

Seeing the rain stopped, the people beside the Hejiang River embankment all sat down on the ground.

Most of the candles inside the lantern had melted, and after the wind and rain subsided, they finally stopped shaking.

In the dark, Zhao Heng asked the young man beside him, "Does it rain like this every year?"

"Well, there are few years in Shanyin City where there will be floods. The previous county magistrate was not so good. He didn't care about our life or death. Only people from our village came to guard the embankment."

"Xiaobai, don't talk nonsense. There are rivers everywhere in this Shanyin city. There are more rivers than roads. Sometimes the county government can't do anything."

Listening to the words of the older villagers, Zhao Heng said: "Then why not reinforce the embankment?"

"Well, there are many rich merchants in Shanyin City. The county magistrates who come here will do nothing, and they will probably be promoted. They are all relatives and relatives of the emperor who spend money so that they can go back to the court to report their achievements. Which official is willing to work hard for nothing? What about using the national treasury to strengthen the embankment, if it is not done well, it will be beheaded."

Listening to the people's words, Zhao Heng shook hands and said: "The king of this county has decided, the king of this county will wait until the embankments in Shanyin are reinforced before returning to Chang'an!"

"Then you don't have to go back to Chang'an for the rest of your life." Jiang Li gave Zhao Heng a blank look, "Do you know how many rivers there are in Shanyin?"

Zhao Heng said: "That's true too, Zhizhi's parents are in Chang'an, we can't stop going back to Chang'an, but I can send someone I trust to come to Shanyin, don't worry, the king of this county will be the king of Shanyin every day." Yin's parent officer, I will be a good parent to you in the future."
