Qiu Lizheng smiled and said don't worry, and asked Qiu Yinong to go back to sleep quickly, as it was the time for growth. Qiu Yinong didn't bother to be polite with him, turned around and rode Lu Yuan back.
As soon as I got home, Chu Hongyun and Jing Xu also came back from other villages.
"It's getting late. Ayun and brother should go to bed early. We'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay, go back and rest soon." Chu Hongyun smiled at her gently.
Qiu Yinong knew that they had something to say, so she went straight back to her yard and got off Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan went to his shed to rest.
Chu Hongyun took Jingxu to the study in his yard.
"Cousin, Yi'er said before that Lao Wu would do bad things, but hasn't he been banished to the imperial mausoleum?"
"Don't underestimate his desire to fight for the throne." Chu Hongyun sneered.
Jing Xu suddenly looked at Chu Hongyun and asked seriously, "Cousin, do you have any ideas about that position?"
Chu Hongyun looked at him with amusement: "Why, if I said I had my eye on that position, what would you do? Would you kill me for Father, or help me get that position?"
Listening to Chu Hongyun's words, Jing Xu thought without hesitation: "If cousin wants that position, I will definitely support you with all my strength, but cousin, you need to promise me one thing, you must be good to Yi'er."
"Yier is a good girl, you can't let her down. Sitting in that position means you have to expand your harem..."
"Who says being an emperor means having a harem? Not only am I not interested in that position, but even if I were to take that position in the future, I would only have one wife in my life."
"Yier was given to me by God. If it weren't for Yier, I would never be able to vindicate my mother."
Jing Xu smiled when he heard this: "I'm glad you think so, cousin."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that position. Being an idle prince is fine. In the future, as long as Da Chu needs me, I will do my best to protect Da Chu."
"Me too." Jingxu also promised seriously.
"Hahaha, okay, don't worry about it. My people have already started keeping an eye on Lao Wu and will try to minimize the losses."
Chu Hongyun laughed and patted Jingxu's shoulder.
Jingxu also said: "I have also written to my father, and he has sent people to keep a close eye on Prince Shen."
"Well, in the afternoon, I also received a pigeon message from my father. He is also keeping an eye on Old Five's movements."
"Okay, since all parties are keeping an eye on Prince Shen, I don't think he can cause any trouble." Jing Xu stretched and yawned.
Chu Hongyun patted him: "Okay, go back to sleep!"
"Okay, I'll go back first." Jing Xu did a chest expansion movement, twisted his neck, and went to his yard.
Chu Hongyun sat at the table, watching the flickering candlelight. After a while, he stretched, changed his clothes, blew out the candlelight, and went to bed.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature rose significantly.
Even hotter than in the summer, Father Qiu said to Qiu Wanjin, who was sitting in the yard drinking tea, "Dad, this weather is so abnormal! It's early autumn, and it's suddenly so hot?"
"Something is indeed not right. I'm afraid there will be some turmoil in the capital." Qiu Wanjin thought more long-term.
The autumn floods and abnormal weather may have caused someone to deliberately make a fuss about it.
Father Qiu was silent for a moment. As an ordinary civilian, he could not comprehend the affairs of the court.
"It's okay. Your second brother works at the Taibu Temple and won't get into trouble." Seeing that his eldest son was silent, Qiu Wanjin hurriedly spoke to comfort him.
"I'm just a farmer, I don't know much, but I do understand that if the court is in turmoil, the people will be uneasy. The Tatars are eyeing the border covetously in the west, and there's the Southern Territory in the south."
"Da Chu is now suffering from a natural disaster, and I'm afraid these two parties will take action." Listening to his eldest son's words, Qiu Wanjin nodded in agreement.
"Well, the things Han Sheng made should be used as strategic materials and should be reported to the court."
Qiu Wanjin also nodded in agreement.
Father Qiu looked at his father and said, "If what Han Sheng makes is useful to the court, it should be reported."
"Grandfather, don't worry, Father. Whether it's a waterwheel, a catapult, or a large crossbow, I've already written to my uncle, the Emperor, to let him know. Just wait patiently!"
Qiu Yinong walked out of the circular door and said to the two of them with a smile.
"That's good. Let Yier tell him. Maybe Hansheng can get some positions and achieve success as a craftsman." Qiu Wanjin laughed.
Mr. Qiu said that whether he could get a position was secondary, he would be happy as long as he could help the court.
"I'm also going to the county town today, so I'll trouble my grandfather and father to take care of the family." Qiu Yinong told the two elders her thoughts.
Qiu Wanjin nodded: "Okay, those bandits really need you to go there in person."
"Come back and bring some delicious squab for Grandpa."
"Okay, then grandpa will be waiting." Qiu Wanjin smiled happily.
Qiu Yinong waved to them and walked towards the village entrance.
Chu Hongyun has something to do today so he won't be accompanying us. Old Five Hanchi will be with Qiu Yinong.
"Sail carefully and don't do anything bad." Qing Yuan warned the captain. The captain didn't dare to say anything and quickly nodded and bowed in response.
The boat was heading towards Wen County. Due to the flood, the river water level had risen. Even if it went upstream, it would only take three hours to arrive.
"How pitiful." As they drove along, they saw many corpses floating on the water, and the villagers who followed were all very sorry.
Shortly after passing Qingquan Town, Qingyuan saw a little baby sitting on a corpse.
"Master, look!"
Qiu Yinong stood up and saw the doll sitting steadily on a female corpse.
The upper body of the female corpse was exposed. Even though she was dead, her hands were still holding the child steadily. Seeing this scene, Qiu Yinong felt mixed emotions.
This is a great mother.
"Stop the boat." Qiu Yinong shouted loudly.
The boat quickly stopped, and two villagers said, "Miss Qiu, let's go and fish out the body and the child."
"Okay, be careful." Qiu Yinong nodded, and the two villagers jumped into the water.
After a while, it swam to the mother and daughter.
The child's hands and feet were already wrinkled from being soaked, probably because he had been drifting on the water for quite some time.
A villager, with a look of reverence on his face, reached out to tidy up the woman's clothes, and then dragged the body towards the boat.
When they came back, it was as if someone was pushing them and they got back to the boat easily.
Qiu Yinong looked at the shadow in the water and said, "Don't worry, we will take good care of this child. Go with peace of mind."
The shadow was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you, young lady."
Her wish came true. A vortex appeared behind the shadow. She looked at her daughter, who was less than two years old, again, shed a tear, and turned to enter the vortex.
Qiu Yinong went forward and hugged the baby girl. The baby girl, who was only a little over one year old, didn't understand what was going on.
