Chapter 207 Flood
On the evening of New Year's Eve, Li Wanqing commanded the kitchen to cook a table full of poached chicken, sour plum duck, roast goose, sauerkraut and braised meat.

None of the servants expected that their princess would be so approachable, not only sharing the same table with them, but also serving the same dishes at the three tables.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Wanqing woke up to the sound of sky-shattering firecrackers, and when she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of eyes full of affection.

"Happy New Year!" Li Wanqing gave Ouyang Yuanhao a big smile.

"Happy New Year!" After Ouyang Yuanhao finished speaking to Li Wanqing, he put his big hand on her protruding lower abdomen, feeling the fetal movement of the little life. The corners of his mouth lightly raised, and he said to his belly, "Happy New Year, baby!"

As if responding to his words, Ouyang Yuanhao felt a slight vibration under his palm.

Li Wanqing also felt it, and both of them looked at each other with wide eyes in surprise.

"He can move." Ouyang Yuanhao said excitedly, this is his baby, he can already move.

"En." Li Wanqing couldn't hide her excitement, but she didn't dare to make any moves, for fear of hurting the child in her stomach.

After the two had a hearty breakfast, they took a walk in the garden. The garden had been completely redecorated by Li Wanqing, with red ribbons tied between the trees and red lanterns hung on the gazebo.

What he saw in front of him was a strong sense of the New Year, with his beloved woman by his side, Ouyang Yuanhao felt that he was the happiest at the moment, he had the whole world.

On the second day of the new year, Li Rulin brought Lin Shuirou and Li Muchen to visit for New Year greetings. According to the custom, Ouyang Yuanhao took Li Wanqing back to Xiaoqing Village to give Li Rulin and the others New Year greetings, but because Ouyang Yuanhao was higher than them and Li Wanqing was pregnant , Li Rulin and Lin Shuirou couldn't bear Li Wanqing's running back and forth, so they drove an ox cart early in the morning with an old hen and some New Year's goods.

Li Rulin, Lin Shuirou, and Li Muchen stayed for one night and then went home. The shops in the eight prefectures began to open one after another at the beginning of the new year, and Ouyang Yuanhao also started to leave early and return late.

Fortunately, Li Wanqing was accompanied by Lin Shuirou, so it wasn't too boring. Every morning, she studied unshakably, and asked Lin Shuirou if she didn't understand.

Happy days always go by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it will be late July, and there are only eight days left before Li Wanqing gives birth. While Li Wanqing is looking forward to it, she is also very nervous. After two lifetimes, she is still a mother for the first time. She heard from a colleague who had given birth that giving birth was like stepping into the gate of hell.

This is an ancient time with backward medical technology. Li Wanqing works, rests and eats according to the doctor's instructions, and walks for no less than two hours a day, just to make it easier to give birth.

"Qing'er is worried about giving birth again?" Lin Shuirou was making small shoes, her eyes were a little sour, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Wanqing staring at the door in a daze, so she asked with concern.

Hearing Lin Shuirou's question, Li Wanqing withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Shuirou: "Mother, what if the labor is difficult?"

Everyone wants to go well, but the world is unpredictable. Just like in the previous life, many people want to take the road, but the reality is not always satisfactory. Many people still have to choose a caesarean section, but there is no caesarean section in this world?What if she dies?What about her children?
"Silly boy, no, there was no dystocia when my mother gave birth to you and Xiaochen. You were born by my mother, and you will give birth to the baby just like your mother. Don't worry, you are always worried like this, and accidents are easy to happen." , do you know?" Lin Shui softly comforted Li Wanqing.

Back then, she had to go to the fields to work every day, and she had to do housework if she didn't go to the fields. Every night, she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow, so she didn't have time to worry about these things.

Looking at Li Wanqing who was always in a trance, Lin Shuirou suddenly wasn't sure whether their decision was good or bad for Li Wanqing.

"En." Li Wanqing nodded, gently stroking her stomach, communicating with the fetus in her womb.

The production is very close, Li Wanqing can only listen to Lin Shuirou's words, let herself relax, and believe that she can survive this test.

Ouyang Yuanhao came back very late at night, and he still looked tired.

"What's the matter? Are there many things going on?" Seeing the exhaustion on Ouyang Yuanhao's face, Li Wanqing asked with concern.

"Floods in Lianyun County, I have written a letter to the emperor today." Ouyang Yuanhao rubbed the bridge of his nose and said wearily.

"Flood? Is it serious?" There has been a lot of rain in the past two months, but Li Rulin and Lin Shuirou often travel between Guizhou Fucheng and Xiaoqing Village, and they haven't heard of floods?

"Lianyun County is the lowest-lying county in Guizhou Prefecture, and it is also the mouth of the sea. According to the report from Lianyun County Magistrate, their county has been raining heavily for the past few days, which is why the flood happened. The rain has been light for the past two days. Come down." Ouyang Yuanhao said seriously.

"Didn't you already write a letter to the emperor, there will be news soon." Li Wanqing comforted.

No one wants such a natural disaster to happen, so since it happened, we can only find a way to solve it.

"It's just waiting for the emperor's approval. It will take ten days at the earliest. By then, the people in Lianyun County will be displaced. What I am most worried about is that there will be a plague in Lianyun County by then."

When it came to the plague, Li Wanqing was also worried: "Then what should we do?"

"Qing'er, I want to take some silver from the mansion first, buy some food and medicinal materials and transport them to Lianyun County first, so as to stabilize the people there. Only when people's hearts are stable, can there be hope for disaster relief."

"Then do as you wish." Guizhou Mansion is Ouyang Yuanhao's fief, Ouyang Yuanhao has the people of Guizhou Mansion in his heart, Li Wanqing feels very comforted, finally he has not misjudged the person.

"Qing'er, I want to deliver it in person, but you are about to give birth again." Ouyang Yuanhao looked embarrassed.

Li Wanqing stared at Ouyang Yuanhao in a daze, feeling very soft in her heart. From a righteous point of view, she wanted to put Ouyang Yuanhao's career first, but in private, she hoped that Ouyang Yuanhao would be by her side when she gave birth. around.

"If Qing'er doesn't like it, I won't go." Ouyang Yuanhao laughed seeing Li Wanqing staring at him without speaking.

Li Wanqing was not happy because of Ouyang Yuanhao's words. On the contrary, her heart was very heavy. Today Ouyang Yuanhao abandoned the people of Lianyun County for her. Since she is pregnant, he didn't think it was a problem, but what about the future? ?Will he feel the same in the future?Would he blame himself for being selfish today?At this time, Li Wanqing was Roudun, she was just an ordinary person, and this was the ancient times with backward production technology, she gave birth to a child for the first time, of course she hoped that her husband would be by her side.

But there are tens of thousands of people in Lianyun County waiting for Ouyang Yuanhao to rescue and appease their helpless hearts, what should she do?What can she do to get the best of both worlds?
