Chapter 32 The old and the young are worried

Since the day she was moved to this safe ship, Mrs. Gu had to rest for several days before she recovered. However, she felt tired all day long and it was difficult to lift her spirits. Although both her son, daughter-in-law and maid were all

As usual, she was respectful and didn't slack off. Although her lost grandchildren had news and nothing happened, she couldn't forget the regret in her heart.

If she had listened to her third son's advice, why would things have turned out like this? The Yellow River bursts every year, and the only difference is that the places affected by the disaster are different. Even if the Ministry of Works has people who can control floods, they can't fight against God.

?It is said that some places in the old house have already accumulated two feet of water. I am afraid that the furniture passed down from the ancestors has been soaked. I don’t know what happened to the valuable big things in the warehouse. Is the granary at home a good thing?

I will also be robbed by those mud-legged people...

She has lived for sixty years and has experienced many floods, but none has been as miserable as this one. Not to mention that it will take several years for the family to rest and recover, not to mention the Kaifeng flood.

Whether her eldest son will be implicated in the disaster, even her three grandchildren who are still in the Daxiangguo Temple do not know how much they suffered when they fled.

"What a sin!"

Mrs. Gu shook her head absentmindedly and moved the beads in her hand one by one. Suddenly she thought of the last time she gave the string of beads that had been with her for decades to her grandson Zhang Yue. At this moment, Zhang Yue and the other three happened to be there.

Taking refuge in the Daxiangguo Temple, isn't this the blessing of the Buddha? But when she thought about it, she didn't move out early this time. Of course, it was because of her eldest son, but it was also because of the bewitchment of a certain great monk. So, having believed in Buddhism for most of her life, she couldn't help but feel

He frowned tightly again.

"Old lady, old lady!"

Gu Ming suddenly woke up from deep thought. When she saw Ling Long rushing in rashly, her face suddenly darkened. She always liked Dong Fang's shrewdness and ability, but this time the second daughter-in-law almost made a big mistake.

She had already been annoyed by the mistake, and now she felt quite displeased with Linglong.

"What's going on in such a hurry? There's no sense of decency at all!"

My wife has been quite coldly treated these days, and Linglong always accompanied her cautiously on the ship, but at this moment she couldn't care about anything else. She took a piece of paper from her sleeve, and then her knees softened.

She came down and said with a cry: "Old lady, the eldest and second young masters thought the boat was too stuffy, so they followed the buyers to Zhuxian Town, but they haven't come back yet. The slave just found this letter. They said it was...

He said he was going to Daxiangguo Temple to find the third young master and the eldest and second young lady!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu suddenly felt as if her head was exploding. She slapped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair hard and cursed angrily: "Nonsense!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the cabin door that had just been closed was pushed open again, and this time it was the eldest wife Feng herself who came in. Because she was separated from her daughter Zhang Qing, she did not think about food or food for several days in a row, which meant that she was trying to find peace.

She had just slept for two good nights after hearing the news. At this moment, she was not dressing up, her face was sallow, and even her bun looked a little messy.

Although they usually gather less and disperse more often, Mrs. Gu has always been very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law who comes from a well-known family. Now seeing Mrs. Feng in such a state, she felt angry at first, and then her heart instinctively thumped, and she suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

premonition.

"Old lady, Jiu'er took two companions to Zhuxian Town to relax this morning, but no one came back... I just found a note he left, saying that he was going to find Qing'er..."

"This is such a lawless evil!"

At this moment, Mrs. Gu finally couldn't bear it anymore and actually threw a string of Buddhist beads on the ground. Seeing that the thread of the beads suddenly came apart, dozens of round ebony beads rolled back and forth on the ground. She

Then he took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and slowly sat back on the Taishi chair.

By the time Zhang Zhuosun, his wife, and the Dongfang family arrived, the ground had been cleaned up. Only Feng's absent-minded expression and exquisite pale face vaguely showed signs of the thunderous wrath just now. Dongfang's last time

There was a hole in the sky, and he didn't take care of his two sons at this moment. They stood there without even daring to raise their heads. Zhang Zhuo and Sun didn't dare to worry about anything at this juncture.

Thoughts about oneself are like hanging hands and holding one's breath.

"Since those three villains have sneaked back to Kaifeng City, let's go back too." Gu said and glanced at everyone, and then said in an unquestionable tone, "I am an old woman who is tired of staying on the boat.

No matter what is going on at home now, it is the root of our Zhang family after all, and we can't just abandon it. Since it was said before that the breach has been blocked, and there has been no rain upstream for seven days, nothing will happen again.

Three, what do you think?"

Seeing his aunt looking past the others and only looking at him, Zhang Zhuo suddenly smiled bitterly to himself, thinking that the old lady was indeed afraid of well ropes after being bitten by a snake for ten years. Now she must be worried about what she might encounter if she returns to Kaifeng City rashly.

He pondered for a moment and thought of the officials he had met in the past few days. Then he smiled and bowed and said: "Now that the water in Kaifeng City has not completely receded, it should be okay for us to go back."

"That's good!"

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief and finally showed a smile on her face. She then told Lingxi: "Go and pick a few reliable people. Go to Daxiangguo Temple now and look at those evil obstacles for me. Don't let them go."

What tricks are they playing again? By the way, let Shang Shang Xia quickly pack up and get ready. After staying here for so many days, it’s time to go home!”

After giving this instruction, she nodded lightly to her sons and daughters-in-law: "You all go back too. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it at home. Third child, remember to pay a visit to those adults later. Thanks to their help this time, we can

Find Brother Yue and the others."

The Zhang family who took refuge on the Shahe River were preparing to pack their things and go home. On the other side, the people eating at the porridge shop in front of the Daxiangguo Temple also slowly packed their things and headed home as the flood receded.

—At the same time, I didn’t forget to express my feelings about the free three meals a day that I would never have again. More people were talking about how Henan Dusi Yamen and Jin Yiwei’s big ropes all over the city a few days ago, and how Yu Guang was taking advantage of the fire.

He killed more than a dozen people on the spot and talked about the sight of mass executions and killings in the near future.

Before leaving, many people would take a glance at the six nail-like guards.

Zhang Yue, however, did not go to see the people who came to say goodbye. Instead, he blamed all these things on Abbot Jue Hai - no matter what, it is always a good thing to have more good men and women in this world. He just used his words.

It is the Daxiangguo Temple who is responsible for all the food, manpower and risks. Whose credit and glory is he trying to steal?

At this moment, he was sitting in his Zen room, looking at the brothers and sisters sitting around with sad faces, and couldn't help but rest his forehead with his palms in a daze.

The water receded and I was about to go home, but now except for Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi, the four brothers were all guilty - Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi had sneaked out under the false pretense of passing the imperial edict; Zhang Jiu had also followed suit; even if

It's him. To put it nicely, it's called not being afraid to help relatives and friends in times of crisis, but to put it badly, it's called making one's own decisions. In short, both are wrong.

When they return home, won't they be faced with a family law that they can't escape?

PS: Thank you for your concern. My fever seemed to have gone down this morning, but I ended up with toothache. What a bad luck. I just took another piece of Tylenol... Please vote for me. As long as the coding speed is restored, I will definitely update more. Thank you all.
