Yu Shaoyu slept very comfortably. He slept from the evening of yesterday to the end of today's morning, almost six full hours.
After getting up, he had breakfast and then went to greet his grandmother. When he arrived at his grandmother's yard, he heard laughter and admiration coming from inside.
What could be so delicious and make the people inside so happy?
He went in doubtfully and saw several pieces of cut mooncakes placed in front of his grandmother. After greeting everyone present, he asked: "What is so delicious and makes my grandmother so happy?"
"The mooncakes your classmate sent back as a return gift are more delicious than any mooncakes I have ever eaten in my life!" Mrs. Yu said cheerfully.
"The mooncakes made by my sister-in-law? They must be delicious. I want to eat them too." Yu Shaoyu said, looking at his mother, waiting to be fed.
Zhou Xia's expression was stunned, and she secretly thought that it was too bad, she forgot to leave it for this brat!
Yu Shaoyu knew what his mother was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and asked: "Mom, did you leave it for me?"
Zhou Xia said with some embarrassment: "We have a lot of people in our family, so if you share a portion, it will be gone. The rest will be brought to your grandmother. Who asked you to sleep for so long? You didn't come until everyone had finished eating."
Yu Shaoyu felt aggrieved because his mother had obviously forgotten him, and she also said that he had slept for too long.
The baby is feeling miserable!
Mrs. Yu could not see the expression on her little grandson's face, so she waved him over and forked a piece of moon cake to him.
Yu Shaoyu went up to eat the mooncake, his eyes widened immediately, and he swallowed it in two bites.
"This mooncake is so delicious! It's obvious that the craftsmanship was made by this sister-in-law." Yu Shaoyu glanced at the remaining pieces on the plate eagerly, and then said: "Grandma, I have to go see Brother Lu today, so I'll start with
It’s over!”
"Are you going to the Lu family?" Yu Shaozhou asked.
"Yes. Before we left yesterday, I said I would go find them today." Yu Shaoyu responded.
Yu Shaozhou stood up and said: "For those medicines and food, I should go and thank you. Why don't I go with you?"
Yu Shaoyu glanced at his third brother and thought to himself that he actually just wanted to go to the Lu family to eat mooncakes. Third brother shouldn't be the one, right?
Yu Shaozhou looked at Yu Shaoyu, bowed to Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu, his mother and Mrs. Yu, and went out with Yu Shaoyu.
The two took a carriage to Lu's house and asked the coachman to pick them up in the afternoon. They knocked on the door and waited for someone to open the door.
"Crack-"
Something dripped on his face. Yu Shaoyu reached out and touched it and found that it was wet.
"Crack-"
A drop fell on his hand. He looked at the raindrops on the back of his hand and said excitedly: "Third brother, it's raining!"
Yu Shaozhou also felt something dripping on him. When he looked up and saw the sparse raindrops, he was also very excited: "It's really raining."
The door creaked open, Yu Shaoyu said hello to Uncle Qiu, and ran inside excitedly, shouting as he ran: "Brother Lu, Brother Yumin, come out quickly, it's raining!"
Lu Yan and Huang Yumin were discussing the exam questions in the study room. When they heard his shouts, they came out together and saw that it was raining.
Although the rain is light, it is at least falling.
Huang Yumin came to the yard and looked up at the rain falling, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.
Lu Yan knew it would rain today, so he was relatively calm.
In the inner courtyard, He Yunxi and the concubine stood in the corridor, looking at the raindrops that kept falling.
"It finally rained." Fufeng sighed.
"It's a pity that the rain is a bit light. If it rains for a short time, it won't be of much use." Luo Fu felt that the rain was too light. After such a while, even the ground in the yard was not wet.
"It's always good if it rains." The concubine looked at the raindrops with a hint of relaxation in her eyes.
No matter how heavy the rain is, in the eyes of the victims, it is a signal that the disaster is about to pass. With hope in your heart, you will not despair of life. For the emperor's rule, the pressure on the court can also be alleviated.
few.
He Yunxi did not doubt the magnitude of the rain, because Lu Yan said that the rain would be heavy and would last for almost half a day, then it would stop for two days, and then it would rain heavily for two days, completely easing the drought.
Thinking of this, she frowned and said, "Mo Xin, go and tell Huang An and ask him and the Yu family to prepare some ginger soup and wait for the rain to pass and deliver it to the people outside the city."
Mo Xin looked at the sparse raindrops, said nothing, and flew away.
He Yunxi wanted to remind him to bring an umbrella, but he had disappeared.
When Mo Xin walked halfway, the light rain that had been falling a little to the left and right suddenly became heavier, and soon he became a drowned rat. Just now, he thought that He Yunxi was making a fuss, and he had the idea that she was so powerful and he was so stupid.
I was really poisoned.
In order to speed up, he did not go to the bridge over there, but chose to directly cross the Luo River, which was much narrower due to lack of water. Fortunately, it was raining heavily now, and there were not many people cheering on the road by the river.
He came to the county lord's mansion, found Huang An, conveyed He Yunxi's message, and then left in wet clothes.
After being dry for so long, he also wanted to feel the feeling of rain falling on his body.
He had never thought rain was important before. During the time he was following He Yunxi and watching her worry about drought, he started to pay attention to it.
For the first time, he connected rain with life.
For the first time, I felt that rain... was really nice.
At this time, outside the city, countless refugees rushed into the rain, raising their heads and letting the rain hit their faces and bodies.
They cheered and laughed, completely releasing the emotions they had accumulated in the past two or three months. Some people were crying bitterly, shouting the names of their dead relatives. It would be great if the rain came earlier, so that they would not die.
So many relatives.
Everyone ran wildly in the rain for a while, and some people couldn't stand it anymore, so they took shelter in the sheds built by the branches. Although such sheds could not completely block the rain, they would be much smaller.
When the rain stopped in the afternoon, not many people had dry clothes, and the ground outside the city became muddy.
At this time, people from the County Lord's Mansion and Yu Mansion came again. Buckets of ginger soup were delivered, and everyone wanted to come and have a bowl.
At the same time, Huang An asked people to tell everyone that the wandering Taoist priest who had predicted cold disasters and droughts said that it would rain on August 15th, and it actually rained. The Taoist priest also said that if it rains during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will rain again two days later.
If it rains, then the drought is over.
It really rained today, as the Taoist priest said, then this drought will really end.
If this were the case, the county government, the Yu family and other families would not continue to give alms.
When many people heard the news, their hearts came alive.
At this time, Cui Heng came and brought the court's decision.
