The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 100 100. Attention

Feng Jinlin nodded, this was exactly what he wanted to say.

But the eldest brother’s ambition has always been to go deep into the people, understand more of the people’s sentiments, and do more good things for the people. Staying in Dongdu City may not be what he wants.

Feng Jinxu did not answer Feng Jinyao's words, but took two more sips of tea.

"There is another thing that I have wanted to say for a long time. I am just afraid that it would be inappropriate to find my father rashly, so I will talk to my eldest and second brothers first."

"What's up?"

Feng Jinxu saw that her face was rarely serious, so he also sat upright.

"Some time ago, my mother left the housekeeping affairs in my hands. This year's harvest and shop performance are good, but the weather is not good. I asked Yun Xu to ask several accounts in the village, and they all said that the snow came too late. , I am afraid that the weather will change next year. Therefore, I asked people to store a lot of food in Zhuangzi on the outskirts, just in case. I also took half of the field and dug it into a mud pond to grow lotus roots. That stuff is good for filling my stomach. The most important thing is not to worry about abundant rain.”

“You mean there may be too much rain next year?”

Feng Jinyao nodded and responded to Feng Jinxu’s question.

Hearing this, Feng Jinlin looked at her with deep eyes. How could she, a girl at home, have the same thoughts as that person? She became more curious about her sister.

"Excessive rains can lead to poor harvests and can easily cause river water levels to rise. I went to Jiangnan with my mother two years ago. When we were taking a boat, I heard local people say that the surge in river water would be detrimental to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in the three places. But if the disaster breaks down the dike, not only will there be no harvest, but there will probably be refugees everywhere."

Feng Jinyao's words were deliberately exaggerated. She was afraid that they would not pay enough attention to them.

 Eldest brother has always kept the people in mind. If he uses this as an excuse, he might be able to keep them.

"I think it might be better if the eldest brother can be promoted to the Ministry of Industry or go to the Ministry of Household Affairs under my father's jurisdiction. Firstly, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's granary. If there is a disaster, it is a good thing that the eldest brother can help my father with disaster relief. Secondly, , the Ministry of Industry and Water Conservancy, and many matters of repairing rivers and dams are decided by the Ministry of Industry. If the eldest brother goes there, it is not a bad idea to take precautions in advance. Thirdly, I stay in Dongdu City, with my sister-in-law, my two nephews, and my mother. It's more appropriate. You are the eldest son in the family, and you are also the pillar of support for my sister-in-law and them, so you will be safe here."

I have to say that as soon as these words came out, Feng Jinxu’s original determination to take up his foreign post was shaken.

In fact, the weather this year has been abnormal. He and his father have discussed this matter. However, his father said that the grain that Caosi has transported from various places in recent years has been so large that even the granary in Dongdu City can hardly be filled. Even if there is a disaster, it will be enough to cope with it. .

On the other hand, the Ministry of Industry's repair of river embankments should not be underestimated.

He looked at Feng Jinyao with calm eyes, glowing, "Ayao, do you think these words yourself, or did you hear them from somewhere?"

 She was still a little timid when faced with her elder brother's inquiry after living another life. After all, he was the person most similar to her grandfather. She was a little scared when she thought that her grandfather looked at people the same way.

“It’s just something I just thought about when I had nothing to do. You also know that I stay in the backyard all day long and the most I can do is just think about miscellaneous things.”

Feng Jinyao felt a little guilty when she said this. If she had no memory of her past life, how could she, a young lady from an aristocratic family, care about people's livelihood issues and make so many preparations in advance.

Originally, this rhetoric was used to deceive the second brother and her father who loved her, but she was a little unsure about the eldest brother.

"Well, I will think carefully about what you said today and talk to my father later. Your sister-in-law has been busy taking care of Yunli these days. If you have nothing to do, just take Yunhe over and watch him practice a few more times. Copybook."

Feng Jinxu didn't ask further. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, brother, I will do the same even if you don't tell me."

"Um."

Then he looked at Feng Jinlin next to him. Before he could speak, he had already raised his hands and bowed, "I know, I know, I will go back to study now. I will never embarrass the Feng family in the spring!"

 “I hope you won’t talk empty words!”

Feng Jinlin curled his lips, it was like this every time, no matter what the topic was talking about, it would definitely fall on him in the end.                                                                            He is probably jealous of talents, because it has to be a little more difficult than others.

Outside the door, the voice of the personal guard Fu Yi came in, "Sir, someone from Dali Temple is here, and they said there are some details they want to tell you."

“Well, let them wait and we’ll go there.”

"yes."

This voice suddenly reminded Feng Jinyao, wondering what happened to He Huan who was taught a lesson by Lin Lang Liwei?

If the eldest brother doesn't go to Qingzhou this time, that's okay, but if he still can't escape and has to go to Qingzhou to take up his post, then Fu Yi must not be used again!

Thinking of this, she pretended to be chatting and asked about Acacia.

Feng Jinxu didn't care much about this and just said, "I heard from your sister-in-law that it's much better."

In this case, some things may have to be put on the agenda, such as asking for Acacia and holding it in her hands, so that she will not be afraid of Fu Yi having any objections.

The smile became a bit fierce. Feng Jinlin watched from the side and couldn't help but trembled, "Second brother, are you cold?"

 Brother, there is never a charcoal fire in this study, so it is normal for him to be cold.

Handed the heater in his hand over and motioned for him to continue, but Feng Jinlin pretended to be annoyed and said, "Are you that kind of sick man? Do you need a heater?"

As soon as he said the words, he suddenly thought of that person and stared at him surreptitiously as if he were prey. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and ran away without waiting for Feng Jinyao to open the door.

 Feng Jinxu and Feng Jinyao were both confused. I am afraid this person is not seriously ill!

Fu Yi was blown by his whirlwind and almost hit him. He touched his nose to calm down his shock. When he looked up again, he saw Feng Jinyao looking over in amusement, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

 What's going on today? Each of the masters of the Feng family is more terrifying than the last.

 He had to tell his sister earlier that he would be able to leave as soon as possible after his health was restored and he took the deed.

At the same time, Hehuan was half leaning on the bed made of bricks, with a soft pillow behind him, drinking medicine one mouthful at a time.

The person responsible for taking care of her is a new little girl. Although she is a bit dull, she can always do the things she is told meticulously.

 For example, Zhu Hibiscus, who was beside Wen, reminded Acacia to take medicine well.

This little girl can stare at her all the time, even if there is not even a mouthful left, she must be satisfied when the bottom of the bowl is empty, otherwise she will be talking about it every day like a little chatterbox.

 “Lotus, I’ve finished drinking.”

After saying that, he poured the bowl down as usual without leaving any drop. The little girl who was called Lotus happily handed over a small piece of the preserves in her hand.

"Here it is, Sister Hehuan. Brother Fu asked me to give it to you. He said he knew you were afraid of hardship, so he went to the fruit shop in the south of the city to find it."
