Great Blue Night Watchman

Chapter 166 Dream of Red Mansions

But whether it was Lin Su or Qu Wendong, they still underestimated someone.

That person is Lu Tiancong.

Why is Lu Tian such a good person? How could you not see through Lin Su's clever plan? He sat down and drank a cup of tea, walked slowly to the backyard with his hands behind his back, and met Lu Youwei.

Lu Youwei is always in the garden during this season.

why?

The flowers began to wither. Every time the flowers withered, it was an unspeakable pain for Lu Youwei.

These flowers stayed with her throughout the flowering season. She watched the flowers bloom day by day and become more beautiful day by day, as if she were seeing herself.

The flowers were falling, and she seemed to feel the same way.

Especially today, the song "The Song of Flower Burial" came to her heart, making her feel like she was in a dream.

Flowers are falling, flowers are flying all over the sky, red flowers are disappearing and fragrance is gone, who can pity...

The poignant words are accompanied by bright red all over the ground...

She took a silver hoe, dug small holes, and buried the fallen flowers in the soil...

People who bury flowers today are laughing like idiots, but who do you know who they will bury next year? Once the spring is gone, the beauty will grow old, and the flowers will fall and people will die...

Flowers fall and people die, are they really unaware of each other?

At least you know, I know!

A moment of love, full of sadness...

At this moment, a reflection in front of her was reflected on the ground. Youwei looked up suddenly and saw her grandfather...

"Youwei, haven't you always been on good terms with the two girls from the Qu Mansion? Qu Xiu has just come back from Haining. You might as well go and get together with their sisters. She is married far away in Haining and has no relatives. She is lonely in her heart. You can get together with her. , which is in line with the feelings of a true friend."

Qufu?

Quxiu?

Youwei's heart beat faster for some reason. Qu Xiu, Qu Juan, the third and fourth ladies of the Qu family are her best friends. After Qu Xiu got married, she didn't see her for nearly two months. When the scientific examination was over, she returned to Haining with her husband, and it was even harder to see her again.

You should definitely go and see him.

Seeing his granddaughter's expression, Lu Tian smiled from the corner of his mouth. He is the prime minister. From his position, it would be unwise to have any personal relationship with Qu Wendong. But his granddaughter and the younger generation of the Qu family are best friends, so why not meet her? And in his opinion, in solving certain problems, his granddaughter may have a greater role than his own intervention.

It was afternoon, but dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and a depressing cold wind blew through the window, lifting the paper written by Lin Su. This was a dozen pages of manuscript he had just written.

Lin Su stretched out her hand and grabbed a few pages of the manuscript that were about to be blown away by the wind. She looked at the sky outside the window, thoughtfully...

There was a gentle knock on the study door, and Sister Chen opened the door and came in: "Sir, it's going to rain. This year's rainy season has arrived."

Lin Su nodded.

The river beach in Haining is the place where Lin Su has put in a lot of effort. He grows sweet rice, sweet potato flowers, and makes briquettes to survive the cold winter. He also builds strong embankments to ensure peace. Now it is about to face the most severe test. The only way to survive this year's rainy season is , Jiangtan is the real home of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangtan.

He went to Beijing for scientific research and could not be on the river embankment, but Sister Chen also knew that he was thinking about him.

Lin Sudao: "Don't worry! Even if the water volume this year is two or three times that of last year, the river bank will still be impregnable! It's just that once this heavy rain passes, the land will be filled with refugees again..."

Sister Chen said: "You are not an official and cannot control the whole world. As long as the Haining embankment is intact, it will be enough to comfort you for your hard work last year... What are you writing?"

Lin Su handed the paper in her hand to Sister Chen. Sister Chen took it and looked at it, her eyes lit up: "This is the "Dream of Red Mansions" you mentioned... Let me take a look..."

The first chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" "Zhen Shiyin's dream is psychic, and Jiayu Village is pregnant with a lady". On that day, the land fell to the southeast. There was a place in this southeast corner called Gusu, and a city called Changmen. The most wealthy and romantic people in the world of mortals. place. There is a Shili Street outside Changmen, and within the street there is Renqing Lane. There is an ancient temple in the lane. Because the place is narrow, everyone calls it Gourd Temple. Next to the temple lived a local eunuch, whose surname was Zhen, whose given name was Fei and whose courtesy name was Shiyin. His legitimate wife, named Feng, has a virtuous nature and a deep understanding of etiquette and justice. Although his family is not very wealthy, he is considered a prominent member of the local community. Because this gentleman has a quiet nature and does not care about fame. He only enjoys looking at flowers and cultivating bamboos, drinking wine and reciting poems every day. He is a first-class character like an immortal. There is only one shortcoming: now he is half a hundred years old, he has no children, only one daughter, whose nickname is Yinglian, and she is only three years old.

One day, in the hot summer day, Shi Yin sat idle in his study. When his hands got tired, he threw away the book, lay down for a while, and fell asleep. I dreamed of a place, but I couldn’t tell where it was. Suddenly I saw a monk coming from that room, walking and talking. I just heard the Taoist ask: "Where do you want to go with this stupid thing?"...

After reading one page, Sister Chen was already drawn into the story. When she changed the page, her face was full of addiction. When she changed the page again, the light and shadow outside the window changed, the clouds hung low, and she was completely unaware. There was a thunder and heavy rain. As the rain poured down, Sister Chen was suddenly startled. She raised her head and looked at Lin Su, who was a little confused. Where is this? who I am?

Ah, I finally remembered!

Sister Chen grabbed Lin Su's hand: "Ms. sir, this book... your book..."

Her chest rose and fell rapidly, and she was speechless.

"How is this book?"

Sister Chen took a deep breath: "It's unbelievable, really... I'm fascinated. If Lu Yi sees it, she won't sleep tonight. It's really my husband... ah, young master!"

"Your husband-in-law screamed well, why should you change your words? There is no need to change it." Lin Su hugged her and touched her back gently.

Sister Chen's face was as red as fire, and she leaned into his arms and gently said: "Young master, in the hearts of the three of us, we have already called you husband-in-law. I can only call you young master now. You haven't got married yet. Wait until the young mistress officially calls you." Now, if you accept us again, everyone’s faces will look good.”

Hearing what she said, Lin Su felt a little numb.

In this world, one wife has many concubines, that is to say, there is only one main wife, and the rest are concubines, but what should he do? At present, he has officially confirmed his relationship with four people (including Sun Zhen), but who will be his official wife?

To be honest, none of the four of them fit the definition of a real wife in this era.

Although the Lin Mansion is no longer a Marquis Mansion, it is still a wealthy family. The first wife of a wealthy family must also be a young lady from a wealthy family, otherwise it is against etiquette and law.

Sister Chen was once a slave, Lu Yi was a homeless person, and she didn’t even know where her family was in the dark night. Sun Zhen was the only one with a family, but her family was a refugee...

Of course, Lin Su didn't care about this at all.

But Mother Lin cares.

Even Mother Lin doesn't care, these four women do.

If you ask any of the four of them to be the head wife, the lucky one will definitely disagree. Even An Ye, who is usually carefree and dares to do anything, will definitely not be the only head wife...

Sister Chen got close to him and took out the "Dream of Red Mansions" he had written. This was a big deal. When Lu Yi saw it, his eyes lit up. He really didn't sleep that night. The next day, Lu Yi He looked at Lin Su with his eyes: "Where's the one behind?"

Lin Su scratched the bridge of her nose: "I knew you all had this kind of virtue, so I wrote slowly, no more than one chapter a day, so that you would not play with me."

Therefore, Dream of Red Mansions was slowly written at the pace of one chapter a day.

On the river beach in Haining, Magistrate Yang stood in the middle of a heavy rain, watching the river in front of him flowing eastward. His face was extremely serious. The moment the heavy rain came, he took three squads of government officials to the river embankment. They stayed there for a whole day and night, He stood in the heavy rain, keeping an eye on the situation upstream.

On the other side of the river beach, the coal factory, cement factory, and brick factory have temporarily stopped working. All workers are on duty in the river beach area. A rescue team has been set up. The young and strong men among the 100,000 people on the river beach are also ready to go up the embankment at any time. Disaster relief.

This is an unprecedented moment in history.

For many years, in the face of Yangtze River floods, the refugees have been doing their own thing. When the flood comes, they pack up their belongings and run to the nearest mountain peak, watching helplessly as the flood engulfs their homes. Although they have nothing at home, this kind of devastation is felt by the world. The feeling of being enveloped by the general situation and being bullied occupied all their minds.

This year is different.

This year they just had new hope. They built a new house, and they finally lived the life of the Elephant Man. They didn't want all their hopes to go away like this, and they didn't want Mr. Lin's hopes to go to waste like this. .

News from the Thirteen Prefectures upstream is coming one after another...

Hedong Mansion lacked embankments, resulting in numerous casualties...

Xijiang Mansion lacked embankments, resulting in numerous casualties...

Meijiang Town was littered with corpses overnight...

The peak of the flood has reached Chenzhou and will come to Haining tonight...

"Sir, look..." The catcher next to him pointed his knife directly at the Yangtze River.

Magistrate Yang cast his sharp eyes on the rolling river. He saw the corpse. The corpse was tumbling in the turbid waves all the way down. Magistrate Yang closed his eyes tightly. He was not a cold-blooded person. Although he had been an official for decades, he had seen There are countless human tragedies, but when he sees such tragedies, he always finds it difficult to suppress the grief and anger in his heart.

Heaven and earth are knives, and humans are fish and meat. In the face of the general trend of heaven and earth, in the face of great disasters, human lives are like grass and grass. Alas...

"Sir, tonight..."

Magistrate Yang slowly raised his hand: "Tonight, I live on this river embankment and swear to live and die with the people!"

Night is coming soon.

The torches were lit high, the river seemed to be swelling every moment, the wind was still strong, and the rain was still heavy...

Finally, at midnight, a row of huge waves rushed from above and hit the river embankment with a loud bang. Water columns rose into the sky, and Magistrate Yang's heart suddenly reached the sky.

As the floods descended, he quickly reached the embankment. The embankment below was impregnable. Another wave of floods came, and a shout came from behind Magistrate Yang: "My lord, step back quickly..."

Magistrate Yang refused to retreat. He was like stepping on thousands of waves before the flood. His thin figure fell into the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people on the river beach, just like a sculpture...

After ten hours of suffering and an hour of raging river water, the first wave of river peaks finally passed smoothly. The entire forty-mile river embankment was inspected and no damage was found.

The torches in the hands of countless refugees were thrown high, and Magistrate Yang finally showed a smile on his face...

Floods were raging in the thirteen southern states, but the capital was still singing and dancing.

It's not that the news didn't reach the capital, it's that when the news did, the senior officials of the capital just said nothing - floods happen every year, so which year doesn't happen? No fuss.

In Qu Mansion, a heavy rain last night washed away the trees in the yard. Lin Su stood on the roof of Yixian Courtyard. From here, he could also see the Western Mountain. It was windy and rainy all night, and the peach blossoms on the Western Mountain were all blooming overnight. It fell cleanly.

Lin Su gently stroked a pot of small peach blossoms on the roof: "Your friends' flowers have withered, but you are so beautiful all by yourself? Are you really embarrassed?"

Bullying has come to Taohua. It seems that he is too idle...

This peach blossom was brought down from Xishan. He said countless words to the peach blossom, but there was nothing strange about the peach blossom. The "human face" of that day no longer appeared.

It gave him an illusion. Could it be that he saw it wrong at that time? Misheard? Is this an ordinary peach blossom?

But when he placed his fingers on the branches of the peach blossom, he still had a strange feeling. He felt that the peach blossom could communicate with him. She was still inside, just sleeping...

"Sir!" Sister Chen rushed to the roof: "Uncle Dai just sent news that the first wave of floods has passed, and the river embankment is not damaged at all! The villagers were so happy that they threw torches into the sky..."

She looked so happy that she was spinning around.

"It's done, give me a kiss."

Sister Chen jumped over, snuggled into his arms for a hug, smiled softly to avoid his messy mouth, and pulled him to hide in the small pavilion on the roof. Although Lin Su had a literary spirit to protect his body from rain and fog, but She was still used to giving him the most comfortable environment.

In the yard next door, the fourth lady Qu Juan looked away quietly: "Third sister, what kind of background do the three concubines around him have? I think they all seem to be very presumptuous..."

Concubines are not the same as concubines. There is also a chain of contempt between concubines. Women from wealthy families despise women from the lower class. Those with rich and powerful parents look down on those without money and power. Those with no money and power have parents and brothers. , despise those homeless duckweeds, so by looking at the behavior of other people's concubines, you can basically judge the wealth of this concubine's natal family.

But this theory seems to be invalid when it comes to Lin Su. Her three concubines are all very wanton. Could it be that the concubines he found are also from wealthy families? So awesome?

Qu Xiu looked away from the piece of cloth in front of her: "He is different from others. He never looks at people's wealth. These three are all homeless."

No home?

Qu Juan was so surprised...

The one you see is called Sister Chen. She was originally a slave and was rescued by my father-in-law. Later she became a guard of the Hou Mansion. The one in green is from the Jin Dynasty. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, she lived in the world. Uncle Saved her in Huichang, that Sister Ding...she is from Jianghu...

Qu Xiu actually didn't know An Ye's level of cultivation. She knew nothing about martial arts and didn't care about it at all.

Qu Juan shook her head slightly, she couldn't understand this person! I really don’t understand!

With his literary talents and his style, he should have high standards for finding a concubine, but he actually found three people who didn't even have a family, slaves, people who had lost their country, and people from Jianghu. All of these are the end of the chain of social contempt. ah……

"Sister, the matter at hand is a big one. Did grandpa say how to deal with it?" Qu Xiu changed the topic.

My sister came over today and told her something. She just said it casually and didn't pay attention to it, but Qu Xiu suddenly became alert and sensitively realized that something was wrong.

whats the matter?

The largest dye house in the capital suddenly stopped cooperating with Qujia.
