Pray for rain

Although Taiwei Xie angrily said to the Ninth Prince that he would wait a long time in Yicheng, in fact he was also with several adults in the Ministry of Works.Several adults from the Ministry of Industry were talented people selected by the emperor, but they surveyed the surrounding terrain in three days. Xie Taiwei was overjoyed and decided to set off in one day.

Xie Wei naturally wanted to accompany him, and he wanted to take Pei Zhen along with him, so he asked him, "Would you like to go with me?"

Pei Yu was silent for a while, and the day before yesterday he slipped out of Xie's mansion to find Geng Ze.I don't know why Geng Ze looked very relaxed, his expression was joy that Pei Yu had never seen before, and he didn't take the drought in front of him to heart.

Pei Yu felt a little displeased, it had been two months since he entrusted Geng Ze with the drought, but so far there had been no progress.He asked Geng Ze how the investigation was going, but Geng Ze said that he already had a clue, and he would definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment.His face darkened, and he ordered Geng Ze to solve the drought in Yicheng within one month, otherwise he would return to Zhongshan to receive the punishment.

Although he knew that as long as Geng Ze was here, there would be no deaths in Yicheng due to the drought, but Pei Yu was still a little worried.Seeing him hesitate, Xie Wei patted his head and smiled, "Still complaining that I don't want to take you on a tour of Mobei?"

Pei Yu shook his head and said: "Of course not, I would like to go to Hanjiang with Brother Xie."

Taiwei Xie discussed with all the adults that the Hanjiang River is the river closest to the cities in Mobei and has the largest water flow, so they decided to divert the Hanjiang River.From Yicheng to the source of the Han River, plus the time to draw the road map, the journey is only half a month.

This time I went to handle official business, so Mrs. Xie and Xie Yuan did not accompany me.Before leaving, Xie Yuan pitifully tugged at the corners of his two elder brothers' clothes, reluctant to let them go.Xie Wei said: "Yuan Yuan is studying hard at home, brother will bring you a gift when he comes back."

Xie Yuan looked at Pei Yu expectantly: "What about Brother Pei?"

Pei Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are indispensable."

Stopping and stopping along the way, Pei Yu became the most leisurely person on the way.Xie Wei always accompanied Taiwei Xie to do everything by himself, and even the Ninth Prince had to follow the adults to investigate hard in order to receive credit.

Pei Xuan looked at the busy Xie Wei and sighed in his heart.In his view, this matter is too idealistic.Taiwei Xie is a very smart person. He proposed to plan the route in advance, and then recruit migrant workers from various places to build the waterway in sections.You only need to know how deep each road section needs to be built, so that you don't interfere with each other, which greatly speeds up the construction of waterways.It's just that even if this is the case, the waterway will not be repaired until at least next year.

What's more, not only is there no time to wait, but there are many things to worry about.First, the terrain in Mobei is high. If the waterway is repaired, can the river water be led to Mobei?Second, the people in Mobei now rely entirely on the government's relief. If it doesn't rain all the time, how rich a country can afford to support these poor people for half a year?

Xie Wei thought that he was sitting idle in the carriage all day long, but in fact Pei Zhen was always thinking about it in the carriage, fearing that Xie Wei would be happy for nothing.Pei Yu sent another message to Geng Ze, asking him to find out as soon as possible, otherwise the distant water might not be able to save the nearby fire.

Half a month later, the group arrived at the source of the Han River.After discussing the depth of the waterway with the adults of the Ministry of Works, Taiwei Xie immediately invited the emperor to dispatch manpower and money to build the waterway in each section.

At present, everything seems to be going well, Xie Wei and Xie Taiwei stayed at the source, because the waterways here are the most difficult to repair.If the source of the Han River breaks the embankment, it will not save the people in Mobei, but will kill the people around the Han River.

After settling down at the post station, everything was managed by the Ministry of Industry and Taiwei Xie, Xie Wei became very leisurely, and finally had time to talk to Pei Zhen who lived next door to him.He knocked on Pei Yu's door, and heard Pei Yu's deep voice: "Come in."

Pei Yu looked a little tired, Xie Wei saw that he was holding a small shovel in his hand, and was exerting force on a small piece of wood. The table was covered with sawdust, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

Pei Yu said: "I have nothing to do, let's make a woodcarving."

The wood carving in his hand was only roughly carved, and he couldn't tell what it was.Xie Wei smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to carve wood."

Pei Yu took a small box from the bedside and handed it to Xie Wei, secretly looking forward to Xie Wei's expression when he opened it.Xie Wei took the box and opened it. Inside was a small wooden dragon, from the horns to the tail, and even every dragon scale was carefully and beautifully carved.The wood-carved dragon that was hyped up by the staff in the wood-carving shop that day was no match for the little wood-carved dragon in front of him.Xie Wei caressed the little dragon fondly, and found that there was still something in its mouth.

Seeing Xie Wei's surprised expression, Pei Yu was very satisfied, and explained: "This is for you."

"That day the guy in the wood carving shop said that Yinglong is the god of rain in the heaven, but it is not true. The god of rain in the heaven is Zhulong, and Yinglong is his subordinate. They can call the wind and rain, and this woodcarving is a good idea for you. Omen."

After hearing this explanation, Xie Wei realized that the little dragon was holding a candle in its mouth.The human world regards the dragon as the god of rain, and the temple of the god of rain is the temple of the Dragon King.Xie Wei doesn't believe in legends, but he appreciates Pei Zhen's love.He held a small candle dragon wood carving in one hand, and gently patted Pei Yu's head with the other, as if treating a treasure that he cherished very much.

Being with Xie Wei day and night these days, Pei Yu was also exploring what was going on in his heart, why he felt itchy when he saw Xie Wei.Until the day when he figured it out, he changed the Yinglong woodcarving originally carved for Xie Yuan into a candle dragon and gave it to Xie Wei.

This person in front of him is bound to win.Not only to let him enter Zhongshan, but also for his own heart.

Pei Yu gently grabbed Xie Wei's sleeve, her eyelashes trembled slightly to hide the hot light in her eyes: "Brother Xie, do you like it?"

The young man's face was sharp and angular, which was exceptionally good-looking.Xie Wei looked at him, feeling that there is no other person who is so sincere in the world, so he smiled slightly and said, "I like it very much."

Pei Yu seemed to have received the best award in the world, her smile was brighter than the sunlight outside the window.He continued to sit at the table, carving the gift he was going to give to Xie Yuan.And Xie Wei looked at him, and chatted with him casually.

As the project was getting better and better, the Ninth Prince began to thank Wei for his attention.He thought that the Xie family didn't know that the killer was sent by Prime Minister Bai, and he was no longer on the opposite side, so he invited Xie Wei to the restaurant in the city all day long.Xie Wei rejected it countless times on the grounds that he was too busy, but he never thought that the Ninth Prince found Taiwei Xie and said something sinister.

Xie's family still can't afford to offend the prince, so Captain Xie wanted to make up for the Ninth Prince, so Xie Wei had no choice but to follow him.But he didn't expect Pei Yu to go too, Xie Wei said helplessly: "It's not a good place to go, you just have to follow."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yu was extremely determined and insisted on following, so Xie Wei had no choice but to take him with him, thinking about paying attention to everything.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the Ninth Prince hugged him left and right, and got drunk.Xie Wei was drinking tea and was fascinated by the sound of the piano behind the screen.Now that the Ninth Prince wanted to win over the Xie family, he raised a glass of wine to toast him.Xie Wei originally wanted to replace wine with tea, but the Ninth Prince refused.It's not easy to refute the Ninth Prince's face, so he drank a glass of wine.

It was inevitable that these wines were mixed with some fun things, which made Xie Wei hot all over.

Pei Yu who was at the side asked in a low voice next to his ear: "Is it good?" The warm breath made Xie Wei tremble, and he wanted to keep him from touching the wine during the banquet, but he saw that Pei Yu had already put the wine in his hand. Drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing that Pei Yu's fair face was quickly stained with a blush, Xie Wei suddenly felt a little headache.But at this time, the Ninth Prince thought he was smart again, and called the woman playing the piano behind the screen, and asked her to take good care of Xie Wei.

After everything was arranged, the Ninth Prince took the woman in his arms and went to the wing.When the woman playing the piano saw Xie Wei's appearance, she blushed and her heart beat. She wanted to sit on Xie Wei's lap, but she was pushed away fiercely by her hands.

Seeing Pei Yu's angry face, the woman knelt on the ground in horror.Xie Wei didn't expect Pei Zhen to drink like a drunk, so he ordered the woman to leave, and then took Pei Zhen into another room.

Pei Yu was held by him so obediently, sitting in front of the bed, and drank the glass of water that Xie Wei fed.His eyes followed Xie Wei's figure, a little confused.What was added to the wine had no effect on him at all, and he wouldn't get drunk after just one drink.He saw that Xie Wei had been paying attention to the screen today, and he just took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction.

Xie Wei sat beside him, her voice was hoarse and low: "Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Pei Yu rested her head on his shoulder and said aggrievedly: "I don't feel comfortable anywhere."

He was too close, and Xie Wei was too hot, so he pushed him away: "There are problems with these wines, so next time you don't drink in this kind of place."

However, Pei Yu looked at him with pure eyes: "What's the problem?"

Xie Wei was speechless, thinking of his parents' early death, I'm afraid no one taught him this.It's just that although Xie Wei regarded him as his own younger brother, these things were a bit too private for people to talk about, so Xie Wei decided to avoid this issue.

The wine he drank seemed to be rolling in his stomach, Xie Wei stood up and said, "I'm going out to get some air."

However, Pei Yu grabbed his sleeve, and put his cold hand on Xie Wei's forehead: "Brother Xie, did he catch a cold? His face is so red, how can he go out to have a wind?"

Xie Wei pushed him away again, said nothing and hurried out.However, Pei Yu held her hand tightly, interlocking his fingers, and he heard Pei Yu's hoarse voice: "Brother Xie really doesn't know anything about my thoughts?"

Xie Wei turned around and looked at him suspiciously, feeling the burning affection in Pei Xuan's eyes, his heart was shocked, and he was about to shake off his hand immediately.Unexpectedly, Pei Xuan was so powerful that he pulled him back to the bed, and turned over on Xie Wei's body.Xie Wei turned his head to avoid Pei Zhen's face, but felt his warm breath on his neck, which made him even more uncomfortable.He could only close his eyes and said, "Pei Yu, let me go."

If he still didn't understand what Pei Xuan was thinking at this moment, he might have lived for more than ten years in vain.

But Pei Xuan suddenly planted a soft but hot kiss on his neck, Xie Wei reacted immediately, stretched out his hand to push him, but it was as powerless as pushing a rock.

"I am very pleased with Brother Xie, brother Xie really can't see it?"

Pei Yu turned Xie Wei's face over and looked into his eyes.Seeing the deep affection in his eyes, Xie Wei felt extremely agitated.What's worse, Pei Yu suddenly lowered her head and licked his lips lightly.
