Beijing, Cao Mansion, Fuyuan Hall.

Li sat in the small Buddha hall, facing the Buddha with kind eyes, kneeling on the futon, closing his eyes and chanting in a low voice.

When she was done, she opened her eyes, with a sorrow between her eyebrows.

The men of the family are not in Beijing, Zuo Cheng also went out of Beijing on business, Zuo Cheng's wife Zhu was pregnant in October, and she arrived half a month ago, but there was no movement before production.

In Li's heart, how can he not worry?

Chu Yu couldn't sit still, so he went to Ning's house after breakfast today.

I really didn't dare to delay any longer, so she made her own post and invited a doctor who is good at gynecology and infanticology from Tai Hospital to go with her.

I don't know what the situation is over there.

In the middle of his thoughts, he heard a maid come to say: "Old lady, the eldest girl is here......"

A maid lifted the curtain, and Tianhui walked in.

She was wearing a flag suit of kudzu yarn, with three-inch-high flag shoes on the soles of her feet, and her small body was straight.

When Li saw his granddaughter coming, he wanted to stand up.

Tianhui hurriedly took a step forward and held Li's arm.

The two grandparents and grandchildren walked out of the Buddhist hall, came to the outer hall, and sat down on the south kang near the window.

"Won't it be too hard?" Li asked, looking at his granddaughter's flag shoes.

Tianhui shook her head and said, "It's okay, but the soles are higher than in the past...... Mama Chang said, it won't last long......"

Seeing his granddaughter's generous manners, Li Shi added a smile to his face when he remembered his eldest daughter and young man: "When your aunt was so old, she also said similar things. You follow your aunt, you are tall, what is the advantage......"

Wearing a flag suit should be equipped with flag shoes, and it is okay at home, just wear flag shoes more than an inch high; When you go out as a guest, it is not good to stand alone, and you have to follow the crowd and wear three-inch high flag shoes.

Tianhui is tall and tall, wearing three-inch-high flag shoes, so she has more figure; Those petite Eight Banner ladies, as well as the soles of flag shoes that are more than seven inches high.

Tianhui has been wearing flag shoes since she was thirteen years old, and she has long been able to walk steadily.

It's just that Cao Hao and his wife love their daughter, and they don't allow her to wear high-soled ones, so they make flag shoes that are more than an inch high for her; As long as you officially go out, you will change to a three-inch height.

However, since discussing with the university scholars, under the advice of Mama Chang and Mama Luo, Tianhui also began to wear three-inch-high flag shoes at home.

"Ming'er is your father's birthday...... I've been there for so long, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back next month...... Your two brothers are not here, this is really a coincidence......" Li muttered.

Tianhui said with a smile: "Mother sent someone to Shengjing to give a birthday gift, Ming'er's father can eat longevity noodles, grandmother, you can rest assured......"

As she spoke, she looked out through the glass window.

The sky was gloomy, and since June, the rain in the capital has been more diligent.

Li didn't know what Cao Hao's errand was, but Tianhui did. Cao Hao's trip before he traveled was prepared by Tianhui with his mother.

Li followed his granddaughter's gaze, looked out the window, watched the light outside dim, frowned, and said, "It's only been sunny for two days, why is it cloudy again?" Your mother hasn't come back yet, so don't let the rain keep you out......"

Before the words fell, I saw Chu Yu entering the courtyard surrounded by the maid and the mother-in-law.

Li's brows furrowed, and he said to Tianhui with a smile: "Look at your mother's steady walk, there is no hurry, your second sister-in-law of Bai, there should be nothing to do......"

After Chu Yu came in, he hesitated for a moment, and did not send Tianhui down to relay the diagnosis of the imperial doctor in Ning Mansion.

Zhu's pulse is not abnormal, and his body is also healthy, and it is not uncommon to give birth later, so there is no need to worry too much, and it will be ripe in the next few days.

Li is an old man in the end, and he has some knowledge.

Listening to Chu Yu, Zhu's delay in giving birth was not due to his health, and his colleagues who were relieved were a little worried: "What the imperial doctor said is right, it is not too rare to give birth ten days and a half months late...... It's just that most of those who are born late like this are girls......"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "The Imperial Doctor said the same...... Bai Ge'er and Zhu's are still young, this is the first child, and there is nothing bad about flowering first and then bearing fruit......"

Li said: "Previously, because the Zhu family was waiting to give birth, they did not move back to the old house for a long time...... Wait until the full moon, but it's really not good to delay any longer, or you will lead people to gossip......"

Speaking of this, Li sighed and said, "I heard that Ning Siye's children are still by Mrs. Ning's side, and the old lady loves that grandson...... This family is divided into two families, and the two families become a family, which is disturbing enough...... I originally thought that if Brother Bai's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, Mrs. Ning would get along better with each other for the sake of her great-grandson......"

Chu Yu knew that although Zuo Zhu's surname was loyal, Zuo Cheng was successful. Although I haven't moved to the old house yet, it's all arranged inside and out.

Mrs. Ning used to provide for the elderly with peace of mind, and she couldn't use her grandmother's identity to stir up.

The Li family is worried about a white one.

It's just that these words are not good to say in front of her mother-in-law, so Chu Yu said: "If you get along for a long time, you will have love...... Ning Si has already returned to the house, and Mrs. Ning only has the two grandsons of Brother Song, which one can they get close to if they are not close relatives? ”

Li Shi thought about it, nodded and said, "That's exactly the truth......"

*Shengjing, southern suburbs.

Cao Hao and Yi Duli wore robes and braved the rain to come to the eastern suburbs bridge.

Since three days ago, Shengjing once again poured heavy rain, and the situation of the embankment below began to be bad.

As of today, three embankments have been breached and six bridges have been blown up.

Fortunately, several other places have been flooded one after another, but the situation on the side of the eastern suburbs bridge is critical.

It's just that I'm afraid of what's coming.

The Hunhe River in the eastern suburbs, although it is a tributary of the Liao River, can be close to the Fuling of Emperor Taizu. The Fuling Gate is only about 100 steps away from the Hunhe River.

The two palms of Shangshu squatted in Shengjing for a month, if they really let the flood flood Fuling, not to mention the hard work, I am afraid that the top on the head will not be able to be saved.

E Fei had already led people to guard here, and when he saw Cao Hao and Yi Du standing up, he stepped forward and asked with a little trepidation: "Lord Cao, do you really want to blow up the bridge?" This is in front of the Taizu Mausoleum, not other realms! ”

In his early years, when he was the deputy commander, he came to worship Fuling with the princes.

In Fuling, there are many stone statues and Chinese watches.

The two bridges that Cao Hao and they were going to blow up were too close to Fuling, and if they damaged the furnishings in Fuling, not only Cao Hao and Yi Duli, but none of them would be able to run.

Cao Hao did not answer immediately, but stood by the bridge, looked at the turbid river under the bridge, looked up at the thick clouds in the sky, and said: "The water level has risen so high, if you don't blow up the bridge and discharge the flood, what will be the consequences, Lord E should also think about it." ”

In his heart, he struggled.

Although Cao Hao was ordered by Qin, he himself was the secretary of the military department. If he came forward to stop Cao Hao from blowing up the bridge, even if it was just a formality, it would have no effect, but he could still show his disapproval in front of others.

In that case, if you investigate it in the future, you won't be able to involve him.

But who can you hide from this careful thinking of "seeking good fortune and avoiding evil"?

In this way, Cao Hao will be offended.

and Yi Duli's side, he has no idea, with Cao Hao as the head of the horse, and he will annoy himself when he thinks about it.

is not to take risks, continue to be too cold; Or is it impulsive?

Oqi clenched his fists hard, and finally gritted his back molars and retreated to the side, silent.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Along the Hunhe River, four bridges were blown up in one go, and the water flow was smooth, and the water level dropped when I saw it...... Everyone was busy in the Hunhe River until dark, and even if the water level dropped, everyone did not dare to take it lightly.

Because, the rain is heavier.

It was pouring rain and pouring down all over the world.

Everyone went to the barracks outside the west wall of Fuling to take shelter from the rain, and the atmosphere in the house was very depressing.

Even an optimistic surname like Yi Duli began to be afraid, and he regretted it in his heart.

Cao Hao wanted to blow up the four bridges here a few days ago, but Yi Duli persuaded him to come down.

The emperor's tomb used explosives in front of him, which violated the way of the courtiers.

Cao Hao knew Yi Duli's concerns, thinking that after all, this side was a tributary, and the water volume was not as majestic as that of the main stream, so maybe the water level could not go up.

Because of luck, Cao Hao did not insist on blowing up the bridge.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the water level of the Hunhe River was already critical.

This night was extremely difficult.

Listening to the sound of rain outside, where can Cao Hao sleep?

The heavy rain in Shengjing continued, and under the hard work of everyone, it still flooded four military camps and two villages.

Still, the soldiers were sent to the flood-stricken villages to transport people and animals out of the villages, so that there were no serious casualties.

The situation in Jiangnan will only be more serious than the situation in Shengjing.

tossed and turned, until the sky was dark, and Cao Hao fell asleep grogily.

The next time, it was God who opened his eyes and cleared up.

The water level of the Hunhe River has dropped by a foot from last night, and the current has become gentler from the initial kicking.

Iduli stood by the river, looking at the debris of the blown up bridge in front of him, and then looked back at Fuling not far away, and closed his mouth with joy.

Seeing Cao Hao come out, Yi Duli smiled and said, "We are also considered to have completed our merits, isn't it time to go back to the city?" ”

Cao Hao walked up to Yiduli, and looked at the position of the water line like Yidu Licai, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This, let's go back to the city." ”

Although he was in a happy mood, his body was very weak.

When he got on the horse, he was unsteady and almost broke off his horse.

Yi Duli's heart rose to his throat, and he immediately dissuaded Cao Hao from staying temporarily, and sent people back to the city to find a carriage...... * Beijing, Ning Mansion, and delivery room.

Chu Yu hugged the swaddling clothes and looked at the little baby sleeping soundly inside, and only felt that her heart was about to melt.

Zhu leaned on the pillow, his face was radiant, and he did not have the slightest melancholy of giving birth to a daughter or a son.

Seeing this, Chu Yu nodded secretly, this Zhu family is not only soft, but also a generous heart.

Tian sat aside, his eyes glued to his granddaughter.

Seeing this, Chu Yu handed the swaddling clothes to Tian.

Tian took it cautiously: "This little grinding spirit is finally willing to give birth to the mother's womb...... I will choose a son, and I will have a life with their godfather......"
