Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 122
Zhu Xiuyuan still has no specific mission.

Just stay in the signing room and accompany Dong Cheng.

It was as if Zhu Xiuyuan was just an idler and didn't have to work.

None of the Cao Cao's military officers and the three government officials paid much attention to this.

Not to mention that Zhu Xiuyuan is Dong Cheng's son-in-law, and the father-in-law keeps his son-in-law by his side, what can you say.

Furthermore, they all know that Zhu Xiuyuan is a "newcomer" and, for now, is "not up to the task."

Therefore, no one has any objection to this.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan stayed in the signing room for a while, and then they set off again to inspect and supervise various places.

Food is always the most important thing, so the two came to Yicang first.

At the beginning of the construction of Yicang, the threat of the rising water level of the Yangtze River was considered, so its terrain was originally high.

For Yicang, there is no threat of flooding.

Then the two went to the river embankment.

After a round of inspection, I saw that the water level of the Yangtze River had dropped again.

Now, there should be no threat of Yangtze River water pouring into Jiangzhou City and wreaking havoc.

However, the waves on the river are still there, and the waves are so huge that it is still impossible to sail.

Next is the City God Temple.

and a temple at the highest point in the city.

After several days of hard work, Dong Cheng has gathered tens of thousands of victims.

Although the Chenghuang Temple in Jiangzhou City is large, it has long been unable to accommodate it.

Therefore, a second resettlement site for the victims was opened, which was a temple on a mountain in the city called "Hongfu Temple".

The monks in the temple were compassionate and naturally cooperated with the yamen's arrangements.

Tens of thousands of people have been crammed into the temple.

Fortunately, the victims do not have high requirements for living conditions, as long as they can have shelter from the wind and rain.

……

In the busyness and rush, time came to the second day.

Early morning, Dong Mansion.

"Uncle, get up!"

The little maid Qiu Wen woke Zhu Xiuyuan up on time.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt lazy and lazily got up from the bed.

He half-closed his eyes and allowed Qiu Wen to "fiddle with" her.

"Uncle, the heavy rain outside has finally stopped." Qiu Wen said casually with a smile while helping Zhu Xiuyuan get dressed.

"Ok?"

Zhu Xiuyuan's half-closed eyes immediately opened wide, staring at Qiu Wen, "What, has the heavy rain finally stopped?"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately listened carefully -

Outside the room, there was indeed no sound like the raindrops from a heavy rainstorm "hitting" on the tiles and the ground.

Exceptionally quiet!

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't care that Qiuwen was helping him put on his clothes at the moment, so he stepped up, ran close to the window, and pushed the two windows open with both hands.

"Uncle..." Qiu Wen chased after holding a belt in both hands.

Zhu Xiuyuan completely ignored Qiuwen, and looked out the window——

"Sure enough it stopped!"

Zhu Xiuyuan shouted, raising his head and taking a deep breath of fresh morning air.

He said excitedly: "Okay, now my father-in-law can rest assured!"

After Zhu Xiuyuan sighed, he looked happy when he saw that there was no rain outside.

The rain ranged from light rain to heavy rain, and it continued for a long time.

Zhu Xiuyuan stood at the window, recalling the rain, and felt a sense of alienation in his heart!
It's like a dream again.

Zhu Xiuyuan, who was full of emotion, suddenly realized that his sleeve had been pulled twice.Zhu Xiuyuan turned around and immediately saw Qiuwen standing behind her, holding a belt in both hands.

She said with a very serious face: "Uncle, you haven't put on your belt yet."

"Oh, fasten it then. By the way, madam, is she up?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"Get up."

After Zhu Xiuyuan changed his clothes and washed himself, he walked up to Dong Shuzhen's room.

Dong Shuzhen has finished dressing up.

He was staying in front of the window, staring at the scenery outside.

Xia Wu accompanies her.

The sound of Zhu Xiuyuan coming in alerted her, and she immediately rushed over, took Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, and said softly: "Husband, the rain outside has stopped. Can I go out now?"

After finishing speaking, Dong Shuzhen looked at him expectantly.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look at Dong Shuzhen's clothes.

I saw that she had already put on a thick coat and a skirt with several layers. It was thick and very warm... This was obviously a dress for going out.

When she didn't go out a few days ago, she was always wearing pajamas.

Zhu Xiuyuan raised the corners of his mouth and tapped the tip of Dong Shuzhen's nose.

He smiled and said: "Madam, you are wearing such thick clothes, have you already thought that you can go out to play after the rain stops?"

"No!" Dong Shuzhen denied.

But she couldn't help but smile on her face, and she didn't blame herself.

She shook Zhu Xiuyuan's hand again: "Husband, look at my concubine's wind-cold illness, which has been cured for several days. Now, the rainstorm outside has stopped, so I should be able to go out, husband..."

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't stand Dong Shuzhen's coquettish behavior.

It seems that if he doesn't agree to her, he feels guilty.

However... the secret joy in his heart cannot be explained to outsiders!

"Okay, ma'am, of course you can go out now, but the city is quite chaotic at this time. You can't step out of the house, you can only walk around in the house." Zhu Xiuyuan agreed.

"well!"

Dong Shuzhen naturally cheered, leaving Zhu Xiuyuan behind, trotting towards the wardrobe, waving to Xia Wu and saying: "Wu'er, come and help me pick out a nice dress..."

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan heard that Dong Shuzhen was going to change clothes, he immediately turned around and went out.

When I just walked out of the room, I heard Dong Shuzhen's voice calling from inside: "Husband, wait for me, I'll be ready soon..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the courtyard."

Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to respond.

Then walked out into the courtyard and walked around.

It’s been a long time since it rained!
Zhu Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at the sky. It was just dark at this time, but he could also see that the sun would rise today.

"Put aside the dark clouds and see the blue sky!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Qiu Wen has been following Zhu Xiuyuan. After listening to her uncle's words, she also smiled and said: "The sun is out today. The clothes I washed in the past few days can finally be taken out to dry..."

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at Qiu Wen, and he couldn't answer the question about drying clothes.

But Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly remembered something and said to Qiu Wen: "By the way, Qiu Wen, give me 20 taels of silver notes."

"Oh!"

Qiu Wen nodded, put one hand into her pocket and dug through it, and took out two packages.

One package is wrapped in oil paper and is relatively large.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew at a glance that it was the snacks Qiu Wen carried with him.

Now Qiu Wen's snacks have been upgraded, and they are no longer the leftover steamed buns and pastries on the dining table.

Instead, Zhu Xiuyuan bought various exquisite pastries, dried meat, etc. from outside.

Anyway, they are a small family now, and they are not short of money. This small amount of money is not considered "splurge".

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes swept across the snack package and landed on another small purse.

It was a purse sewn from silk with flowers embroidered on it.
