Happy peasant girl

Chapter 264 Rescuing the Disaster Victims (2)
Since May, it has been raining all over the south of Chu State. On the second day of June, Hezhou and Haizhou in the southeast of Chu State experienced heavy rain for seven consecutive days. Many people’s homes were destroyed and their wives and children were scattered. , Some villages were even completely flooded, and no one survived. The flooding situation was extremely serious.

Compared with other places, there are more cloudy days in Yunzhou, and there will be two occasional rains, but there are not many heavy rains.In addition, in the past two years, Yunzhou has gradually become the most prosperous and lively place among the surrounding prefectures, so many people who fled from refugees flocked to Yunzhou prefecture.

Wei Ming, the prefect of Yunzhou, had long ago had people build many porridge sheds inside and outside the city, and gave free porridge to the people in Yunzhou who had fled.

Wei Ming is Wei Qi's younger brother, and Wei Qi is Lu Zhiming's second senior brother. Wei Ming and Lu Zhiming have known each other since they were in the capital, and they can be called friends.

After learning that a large number of refugees had entered Yunzhou Fucheng, Lu Zhiming sent the money for buying mountains in Linqingxi to Wei Ming in time, hoping to relieve his pressure.

After Lu Zhiming came out from the prefect's mansion in Yunzhou, he went to Yipinxiang. When he came, he heard that Linqingxi had been staying in Yipinxiang to help these few days.

"Master, why are you here?" Lin Qingxi was helping to cook noodles in the back kitchen. Although they were bean noodles, many people came to eat them because they were affordable.

"Xi'er, why did you cook yourself?" Lu Zhiming didn't wear an official uniform, and many people didn't know his real identity.

"There are a lot of people eating at noon, and the store is short of staff. I have nothing to do, so I just came to help!" Lin Qingxi said with a smile, and served Lu Zhiming a bowl of bean noodles by the way, "Master, you go upstairs first, I will help you!" I'll serve you the noodles later, these bean noodles are delicious."

"Xi girl, go upstairs to talk with this gentleman, and leave the cooking of the noodles to me!" Mu Yuexuan wiped her hands on the apron as soon as she rolled out the noodles, and took the dough from Lin Qingxi's hand. colander.

"Sister Yuexuan, can you do it by yourself? Then, let Haitong roll the noodles for you, she is strong." Now Yipinxiang sells all kinds of noodles, and Mu Yuexuan is mainly in charge.

"It doesn't take much effort to roll the noodles. It's okay. You ask Haitong to stay and help light the fire. I can do it by myself." Mu Yuexuan's cooking skills are better than Lin Qingxi's, so she I can take care of it by myself.

"That's fine, Sister Yuexuan, take your time and get busy first, if it's not possible, let the guests outside wait, and I will accompany Master!" Lin Qingxi said.

Lu Zhiming took the bowl of warm bean noodles in Lin Qingxi's hand, and then the two of them went to Yipinxiang's room on the second floor.

After Lu Zhiming ate his bowl of noodles, Lin Qingxi poured him another glass of fruit wine. After eating and drinking, the two masters and apprentices began to talk.

"Xi'er, I heard from Mr. Wei that Yunyifang, Yingxian Restaurant and Yipinxiang have set up free porridge shops in Yunzhou Fucheng for the victims. Is this your idea?" Lu Zhiming said with a smile.

"Master, it's nothing more than making more porridge every day." Lin Qingxi said disapprovingly.

"Xi'er, Master is content with having you as his apprentice in this life. Master is very pleased that you can help the people like this." Lu Zhiming said with a smile.

"Master, there is no need to be so polite between us two masters and apprentices. Helping others is a basic virtue of life, and apprentices will not embarrass you. By the way, master, what do you want to do when you come to Fucheng?" Lin Qingxi asked road.

"The magistrate of Yunzhou is your second uncle's younger brother. I came this time to bring back part of the money you bought last time. With so many victims, there are probably a lot of places where the money will be used." Being able to live and work in peace and contentment doesn't cost so much money for a while, so it is a good thing for Lu Zhiming to be re-elected as magistrate of Fu'an County, but it is also a helpless thing.

"It turns out that, Master, if you are in a hurry to spend money, tell me, I still have some money in hand." Lin Qingxi poured another cup of tea for Lu Zhiming.

"Master doesn't need money for the time being. Next year, master plans to write a memorial and transfer away from Fu'an County. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to Mr. Wei, the prefect of Yunzhou." Lu Zhiming planned to leave Fu'an County two years ago. It's peaceful enough, there are still too many places in Chu State that are not as good as Fu'an County, and he plans to go to those places to be the county magistrate.

"Master, are you really planning to leave?" Lin Qingxi was very reluctant to part with Lu Zhiming and Huai's.

"Xi'er, there is always a banquet in the world. Now the people in Fu'an County live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't pick up things on the road. I think it's time to leave." Lu Zhiming said.

"Master, if there were county magistrates like you in the state of Chu, then the country would be peaceful and the people would be at peace long ago. It is the daughter of the majestic master's wife who wants to follow you around to live a hard life. She is really wronged." Lin Qingxi felt sorry for her. Huai family complained.

"Oh, I really wronged her." Lu Zhiming felt very guilty towards his wife.

"By the way, Master, can I ask you a question?" Lin Qingxi seemed a little embarrassed.

"Just ask!"

"You and your wife have been married for so many years, why don't you want a child? Jingxiu checked the pulse of both you and your wife, and said that neither of you has any health problems, so why have you never had a child?" Lin Qingxi also felt a little embarrassed, but she felt that Huai family wanted a child very much.

Lu Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "There's no reason, maybe we don't have children and grandchildren in this life, so no matter how hard we try, we can't conceive a child."

"Is there nothing the imperial doctor in Beijing can do?" Lin Qingxi asked.

"You also said that Jingxiu checked the pulse for me and your teacher's wife. There is nothing wrong with our bodies. He is a miracle doctor."

"Genius doctors also have things they don't understand or don't know. Maybe they have encountered medical blind spots, and maybe they will succeed if they try other methods!" Lin Qingxi told Huai several times through Jing Xiu's mouth. The prescription of Haoyun Decoction, but Huai's stomach still hasn't moved in the past two years.

"Your mistress and I are almost 40 years old. Even if we really feel unwell, we probably won't have children in the future." Lu Zhiming said with a smile, but Lin Qingxi could hear his bitterness.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, a woman in her 30s is an older mother, and the chance of pregnancy is already low. The situation of Huai and Lu Zhiming is even worse. It is indeed difficult to have children.

"Master, I am the apprentice of you and your wife, and also your daughter. If you don't have any more children, I will take care of you until the end of your life." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"Okay, hehe!" Lu Zhiming laughed.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Mu Yuexuan's husband, Wang An, said softly outside the door: "Girl Xi, there is a young master who says he is your senior brother, Wei Xuan, let him in." ?"
