Even though Yuan Muren was extremely angry with his son for not doing anything about starting a family, he also knew that Uncle Zhang was right and this kind of thing could not be forced.

Just like his father couldn't do anything to him back then, he also couldn't do anything to Yuan Luzhi.

He couldn't just find someone to marry Yuan Luzhi on his head.

What's more, with the bad temper of the brat, even if his head is smashed, he may not bow down, and in the end he will harm his good daughter.

“I really don’t know who follows his stubborn temper?”

Yuan Muren complained.

Uncle Zhang looked at Yuan Muren with a smile and said with great nostalgia: "I remember, the master said the same thing at the beginning."

"..."

Yuan Muren was choked by Uncle Zhang's words and was speechless. He glanced at him and pretended that he didn't hear: "It would have been nice to have been a daughter. If she was a daughter, she would be as gentle and virtuous as the lady. She would not be like this brat.

People have too much to worry about!”

Uncle Zhang smiled lightly and said nothing.

Maybe Yuan Muren himself felt that this hypothesis was not very reliable, so he simply cut off the topic: "Forget it, just take it one step at a time. If the sky falls from left to right, there will still be tall people holding on. If the tall people can't bear it,

Even short people can’t run away.”

Listening to Yuan Muren's negative remarks, Uncle Zhang smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Even though he has been the city lord for many years, the young master has not necessarily improved much compared to before.

After Yuan Muren entered the city, he drove directly to meet with the principals of the three largest embroidery workshops in Jicheng to discuss cooperation in making cotton-padded clothes.

It's just that there was quite a bit of rift between the three companies, so the cooperation didn't go very smoothly.

On the other side, Yuan Luzhi led Yan Qing and others to the city posthouse to settle down, attracting attention along the way.

"Why are there so many military masters here? What's the big deal?"

People gathered in the streets and alleys, looking at the huge army and exchanging information privately in lowered voices.

"What else could it be? There is a flood in Zhanghuai, don't you know? The donation box has been placed at the yamen gate for several days. In order to raise food, clothing, and supplies for disaster relief, the city lord has been housing big shots these days.

It’s all over the place!”

"Is this serious? In this weather, it's raining heavily in Zhanghuai?"

"What! It's raining. I heard that ants dug through the bottom of the dam. The dam couldn't bear the force and was washed away by the water. All the towns below suffered!"

"What's going on?"

Some people who were not very well-informed suddenly realized it.

But soon some people realized that the flood in Zhanghuai might threaten their wallets, and they couldn't help but ask nervously, "Are these military masters here specifically to collect things?"

Looking at the man's subconscious action of covering his pocket, some people around him sneered shamelessly, "Uh-huh? It's just your little stuff. Are you afraid that others will miss you?"

"Isn't that what you say? Others who are affected by the disaster want to eat, but we who are not affected by the disaster won't be able to eat, right?"

Someone shook his head and retorted to the person who had just laughed, "You guys pay so much food to the imperial court every year, isn't this the time to use it?"

"That makes sense."

"That is to say, it doesn't look good to pay so much food every year."

The person who made the joke earlier realized that he had said the wrong thing. Seeing that everyone was about to isolate him from the gossip circle, he quickly made amends, "I was just joking, this thing is voluntary.

These military men are indeed here to collect things, but they are not here specifically to collect things. Others are just borrowing a road and taking some things with them."

"It seems to be the same. Did you see that they can't pull those cars? They are all full!"

"Do you know that the other one is full? The carriage is covered by the awning. Do you have the skills to circumvent the wall?"

The person in question hummed twice and threw the coarse cloth towel to wipe his sweat over his shoulder, with a proud face on his face, "Don't tell me, I still know! I've been moving goods for so many years, I can tell at a glance what's inside."

Packed with a lot of heavy stuff, it’s impossible to leave it alone!”

"What a loud noise?!"

"Blow! The wind will pick up later, so don't let your tongue slip away!"

"If you don't believe me, son of a bitch, I will show you my hands and open your eyes one day!"

…

Then there was a burst of booing, and the topic gradually went sideways.

Compared with ordinary people who only care about what happened, students who have just finished school in schools and private schools are more concerned about the reasons why things happen.

"Supposedly, for a dam with a huge flood storage capacity like this, the government sends special personnel to guard it and conducts annual maintenance. But in the end, ants burrowed through the dam. Isn't this funny?"

In the teahouse, three or two friends gathered together to express their opinions.

"Have you ever heard of 'A embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest'? In my opinion, if the maintenance people are not lazy, then..."

The speaker paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows as a hint, and then continued, "Whether it is a dam dug through by ants anyway, it is impossible to find out in this situation. The ready-made excuse is here, don't use it in vain."

"In the final analysis, the Yuhuai government has failed in its duties. Otherwise, whether it is caring about others or ants, how can they get up to the dam?"

But there are also those who hold different opinions, "Maybe it was an accident? Ants are so small, and they may not be able to be repaired, right?"

But as soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the laughter of all my friends and classmates.

"Yun Huai, you are really an immortal from heaven and descended to earth, you don't know anything about human affairs!"

A friend laughed, shook his head and joked, and explained to him, "Did you know there is a saying that 'it will rain when ants move'?"

Fu Yunhuai shook his head honestly, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

After laughing, someone explained to him: "The so-called 'ants move when it rains' means that before it rains, ants will move from the lowlands to the highlands in advance to prevent them from being flooded. It can be seen that the ants build

The nest is designed to avoid water."

"Do you think that since the ants are particular about avoiding water when building their nests, how could they build their nests on a flood storage dam that is washed away by rivers all year round?"

Fu Yunhuai suddenly realized it and immediately understood: "So, this is really not an accident?"

Everyone looked at each other, but all shook their heads and said nothing. However, one person advised Fu Yunhuai meaningfully: "Yunhuai, we brothers can talk about some things in private, but when we go outside, we should understand in our hearts.

, Just understand it in your heart and don’t make it public easily, especially if it involves government matters.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, admonishing Fu Yunhuai not to be too outspoken.

It's not that everyone thinks Fu Yunhuai is a fool who can't tell the difference between situations, it's just that after spending time with Fu Yunhuai for a long time, they know that he is a straight talker who can't hide his words.
