    Seeing Yan Zhigao leaving in a hurry, everyone in the Yan family had no intention of eating.

    After Daohua returned to her yard, she rushed into the study, rummaged for a while, and found a map of Jiguang Province: "The Grand Canal also flows through Jiguang Province. If the embankment breaks, how many people will be affected?  "

    Wang Man'er, Gu Yu, and Li Xia also looked worried: "Girl, the bursting of the embankments in Jiguang Province will not affect us, right?"

    Daohua was silent for a while: "Jiguang Province is above Zhongzhou Province. If the upstream dyke bursts, there will still be some impact on the downstream. However, it is a bit far away from us, so don't worry too much."

    Wang Maner frowned and said, "Okay, why did the embankment burst?"

    Guyu sneered and said: "Why else? Not every official is as diligent and caring as our master. It must be the officials of Jiguang Province who embezzled the money used to build the river embankment."

    Daohua glanced at Gu Yu: "It's okay to say things like this in the yard. Don't talk nonsense after you go out."

    Guyu immediately lowered his head: "Girl, I understand."

    Daohua didn't say anything more. She warned Gu Yu. Firstly, she didn't want her to speak out and cause trouble. Secondly, judging from what Cheap Dad had experienced when he took over Xingzhou, even if some officials wanted to do something practical, if  Even if the money was seized and owed by the superiors, they were powerless.

    You can¡¯t kill everyone with one shot.

    In the next few days, Yan Zhigao was very busy, leaving early and coming back late, with almost no one around.

    "Mom, what has dad been busy with these days?"

    One day, Daohua came to the main courtyard early in the morning to say hello, and found that her father had already gone to the Yamen, so she couldn't help but ask Mrs. Li.

    Mrs. Li: ¡°I¡¯m busy reinforcing the river embankment.¡±

    Daohua frowned: "Didn't you say that the river embankments under my father's jurisdiction are all stable?"

    Mrs. Li looked solemn: "Your father is worried. He is worried that when the flood peak comes, the embankment will not be able to support it. He has been reinforcing it overnight these days."

    As he spoke, he sighed.

    "Your father has received news that several places upstream of the Grand Canal have burst their banks, and the damage has been serious. This year's floods are coming hard and fast, so your father has to keep his spirits up."

    Daohua looked worried: "Is it so serious?"

    Mrs. Li nodded heavily: "Which time was the Grand Canal bursting its banks not serious? Well, you don't have to worry about these things. After breakfast, go to class quickly."

    Daohua nodded and said nothing more.

    That afternoon, just after class, when Daohua was still sorting out the incense tools, she saw Wang Maner walking over quickly, and Fu Er said to her: "Girl, the uncle sent someone to deliver a letter back, but after reading the letter, the lady sent it  What a big fire."

    Daohua suddenly looked surprised.

    Her mother¡¯s temperament is very gentle, and she rarely gets angry, but it can make her furious. What big thing did her elder brother do?

    Daohua quickly packed up her things, handed them to Lixia, and then hurried towards the main courtyard.

    Halfway through, I met Pingtong.

    "Miss, are you going to find the madam? The madam is not in the main courtyard now, but in the old lady's yard."

    After hearing this, Daohua quickly changed direction and walked quickly towards the old lady's yard.

    After a while, Daohua came to Songheyuan. As soon as he stepped into the old lady's house, he noticed that the old lady and her mother didn't look good.

    "Grandma, mother, what's going on? Brother, what did he do to piss you two off?"

    Mrs. Yan glanced at her granddaughter and tapped the letter on the table with her chin: "Read it yourself."

    Daohua hurriedly stepped forward, opened the letter and quickly read it. After reading it, she finally understood why her mother and grandmother were so angry.

    "Brother, they are going to Jiguang to provide disaster relief. It is alsoa rare experience"

    Before Daohua could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mrs. Yan: "Experience, what kind of experience? My family doesn't want to stop your brothers from going out to experience, but they have chosen a good place."

    "Last time, we went to Fenxi, which is a place where banditry is serious. This time, it's better to go directly to the place where the flood occurred. Do they think their lives are too high, so they just go wherever there is danger?"

    Seeing that the old lady was really angry, Daohua didn¡¯t dare to speak for her three brothers anymore.

    Mrs. Yan stretched her neck and looked out the door, dissatisfied: "Why hasn't the boss come back yet?"

    Mrs. Li explainedHe said: "The master seems to have something on hand, and he should be back soon."

    As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhigao walked in.

    Mrs. Yan pointed at Daohua: "Go and show your father the letter written by your eldest brother."

    Daohua quickly handed over the letter.

    Yan Zhigao took the letter and after reading it, he frowned. He was silent for a long time and looked at the old lady and Mrs. Li: "It's rare that Wen Xiu and the others have such thoughts. If they want to go, let them go.  "

    Mrs. Yan suddenly became angry: "What are you talking about? The flood is ruthless. When it rushes over, it will kill people."

    Yan Zhigao sighed: "Mom, I know all this, but aren't Wen Xiu and the others following the young prince? There must be a lot of guards around the young prince, so safety is guaranteed."

    "Besides, this is also a rare experience. After the birth of several children, although our family is not rich, we still have no worries about food and clothing. These children don't know what it is like to be miserable. We just took this opportunity to  Let them see the suffering in this world."

    Mrs. Yan was still a little reluctant: "It's too dangerous."

    Yan Zhigao said patiently: "Mom, children always have to grow up. Wenxiu is the eldest son of the Yan family, and he will establish his own family in the future. Wenkai and Wen Tao are also boys. The growth of boys cannot be without wind and rain.  You can¡¯t stand it, right?¡±

    Mrs. Yan remained silent, and finally looked at Mrs. Li: "What did you say?"

    Although Mrs. Li was full of reluctance, she also knew that boys should walk around and see more while they are young. Only with more experience can they be able to withstand the responsibilities on their shoulders, so she whispered: "I listen to the master."

    Hearing this, Mrs. Yan sighed: "That's all, you parents don't worry, why should I, an old woman, worry so much? Let you go. But, you have to go to Zhiqiang and Wu's place in person  Go ahead and say it.¡±

    Mrs. Li stood up immediately: "Mom, don't worry, I'll go talk to my third brother and sister."

    Mrs. Yan waved her hand and asked them to leave.

    After the others left, Daohua sat down next to the old lady, leaned against her, and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry too much. Third brother, you know that water quality is one of the best in Yanjia Village. Can I swim or not?"  He taught it."

    Mrs. Yan said angrily: "How dare you mention this? You, a girl, actually imitated the boys to swim in the river. Your third brother didn't stop you, but he was an accomplice. I was really beaten last time."  Take it easy."

    Daohua shook the old lady's arm: "Oh, grandma, being able to swim is also a survival skill. Think about it, if I fell into the river, would I have a better chance of survival than someone who can't swim?"  ah?"

    The old lady snorted: "I'm too lazy to argue with you."

    Seeing that the anger on the old lady's face had faded a bit, Daohua smiled, and then called out: "Oh, grandma, I have to prepare some common medicine for my three brothers, but be sure not to get sick. I'll come over to stay with you later."  You have dinner!¡±

    Looking at her granddaughter running away in a hurry, Mrs. Yan shook her head helplessly: "Fortunately she is a girl, otherwise, she would have been more troubled than her three brothers." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
