Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 173 The storm is rising
But she insisted on telling the time. After all, she was a child. Didn't she know that sometimes ambiguity is better. The larger the time range, the less likely it is to be wrong?
He has been the director of the Imperial Observatory for so many years, but he doesn't dare to say when it will rain or when it will be windy!
Upon receiving the summons from His Majesty, Cui Qiu, the director of the Imperial Observatory, hurried over.
Song Jinxiu met Cui Qiu for the first time.
The man was about fifty or sixty years old, with white hair, a red face, and a slightly hunched back. He wore a black robe, like a high priest, and walked with a cane, but with long strides.
The emperor asked, "Lord Cui, have you observed the weather in recent days? Is there anything wrong?"
Cui Qiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have observed the celestial phenomena and expect light rain tonight and a northerly wind tomorrow. The northerly wind will not be strong and the weather will be damp and cold. The day after tomorrow will be sunny."
The emperor asked, "Oh, what about the day after tomorrow?"
Cui Qiu said, "Your Majesty, three days is the limit. We can't be sure about the day after tomorrow, so we can only estimate."
"Oh? Then what did you calculate?" the emperor asked.
Cui Qiu said, "According to my calculations, after the bright sunshine, the wind may pick up and disperse the clouds. We should have a few days of good weather."
The emperor frowned and looked at Song Jinxiu.
Song Jinxiu said, "Your Majesty, it is true that it will be sunny the day after tomorrow, but the temperature has dropped in the past few days, and the air is damp and cold. If the cold air meets a wind group, it may form a strong wind. The swirling wind group will gather a lot of clouds and cause rain.
But the day after tomorrow will be sunny, the sunshine will make the ground temperature rise, and it will be alternating between cold and hot, so there is a high possibility of hail.
Even if there were no hail, people should have been informed to take shelter if there were strong winds and heavy rain."
Cui Qiu then looked at Song Jinxiu. In fact, he noticed her as soon as he came in, but he pretended not to see her and only looked at her secretly.
This girl looks extremely ordinary no matter how you look at her. If there is anything special about her, it is that she is brave and has lively eyes.
At best, he is a smart child, but unfortunately he has no family protection and no elders to teach him. After all, he is young and does not know how to hide his shortcomings.
He looked at Song Jinxiu and said, "What you said may make sense. I wonder where you are from? I have never heard of your point of view. What kind of cloud is a wind group? I hope you can enlighten me."
Song Jinxiu: "I don't deserve your teaching. If you want to learn, please ask the officials of the Imperial Observatory to find some time, and I will give you a few open classes."
Cui Qiu was almost choked by her words.
Is this kid a complete idiot? He's not just hiding his weaknesses. He's just a calf waiting to make a big move.
Can't tell the difference between good and bad words? I'm just mocking her, okay?
Song Jinxiu: This old man speaks in a sarcastic tone, but she doesn't bother to care.
The Imperial Observatory is not limited to this ability. Although she doesn't know much, she is standing on the shoulders of giants and has accumulated experience from China for five thousand years. If she just tells them some common sense, they will probably benefit a lot.
If I can promote the development of Cangwu's astronomical culture, it can be considered as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, right?
Recently she discovered that the Bodhi tree seemed to have grown taller.
Treasure-hunting rat Junjun once said that Baoya’s recovery requires not only the spiritual energy of plants and trees, but also merit points.
The emperor frowned. "Minister Song is so sure there's a strong wind coming, but are you at the Imperial Observatory really unaware of it?"
Cui Qiu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it takes at least ten years of effort to learn even the most basic Feng Shui knowledge.
Watch the stars at night, watch the clouds during the day, and the feng shui is strong at noon.
Wind, rain, cloudy and sunny are all indispensable.
The art of Kantian is mysterious and unpredictable, and the most taboo thing is to speak without restraint and make false statements.
I can only observe for three days, and I don't know what the weather will be like after that, so I dare not lie."
What this means is: It takes ten years of experience to master Feng Shui. How old is the person in front of you?
This kid is obviously telling lies and making false statements to deceive people.
As for me, I rely on my real talents and knowledge, and I speak my mind without lying.
Song Jinxiu curled her lips. Is there something else this old man said?
Do you need to consider Feng Shui and the Five Elements to predict the waxing and waning of the moon? Even children know how to predict the weather by looking at the clouds, right?
"Your Majesty, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. Since Dr. Song has made such a solemn promise, why not send someone to notify the people and let them stay at home for a few days to avoid danger?" Minister of War Zhou Kunran had a righteous look on his face.
Even the old fellow Cui Qiu said that he couldn't predict the weather three days from now, but the little girl swore that there would be strong winds and rainstorms that could break trees, and even hail.
It's hailstorm in the middle of winter, her life must have been in vain.
If His Majesty issues an imperial decree and nothing happens, this girl will be guilty of deceiving the emperor...
Thinking of this, Zhou Kunran's eyes became restrained, revealing an impassioned look of pleading for the people.
He said loudly: "If you can save the people from danger, Your Majesty will be very kind!"
Song Jinxiu glanced at him: This old man is a little too active.
It's not a good thing to look at.
The emperor frowned and glared at the Minister of War Zhou Kunran. What was this old guy thinking?
Is it so easy to issue an imperial edict?
He is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven must keep his word.
If there really was wind and rain, that would be fine, but what if there wasn't? What if those days were really sunny as Cui Qiu said?
If he doesn't keep his word, will anyone still believe what he says as an emperor in the future?
Song Jinxiu understood what the emperor was worried about, and Zhou Kunran and Cui Qiu also knew it.
It's just that the emperor dotes on this girl too much. They are eager to make the emperor suffer a loss. Only in this way can the emperor dislike her. Otherwise, no one will be able to match her popularity.
Song Jinxiu said, "Your Majesty, if you have any concerns, you can release the news in the name of the Imperial Observatory."
As long as it can help the people, she doesn't mind giving the credit to the Imperial Observatory.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory is responsible for observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating the calendar. These are vital to the well-being of the people, the key to national destiny, and the support of the people. How can we harm the people just because of the nonsense of an ignorant child, Your Majesty?"
Cui Qiu shouted, "Your Majesty, no."
He prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed, as if this imperial decree was to order his death.
Oh my god, how can you harm the people just because of the lies of an ignorant child?
What a heartbreaking statement!
What am I in his mouth?
The evil spirit? Zhao Gao? Wei Zhongxian? Su Daji? Is his next move to purge the court?
When Song Jinxiu heard his words, her eyebrows raised.
She laughed sarcastically and said, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory is responsible for observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating the calendar. It is indeed a major concern for people's livelihood.
But the destiny of the country lies with the emperor, and the people rely on our wise and enlightened Majesty. What does it have to do with your Imperial Observatory?
Your Imperial Observatory is your Majesty's Imperial Observatory, just the astronomical institution of Cangwu.
Your job is to observe celestial phenomena, calculate solar terms, and formulate calendars. Why are you trying to bring this up with the fate of the nation?
So, will the next step be to bring out a Saintess or a Saint's Son, who will be on equal footing with Your Majesty and dictate the fate of our Cangwu nation?"
Song Jinxiu followed suit, stood in front of the emperor, opened her arms to protect the emperor behind her, and spat at Cui Qiu.
"Bah! You're eating the food provided by the people of Cangwu, and you're holding the bowl given to you by our Majesty. What's wrong with that? Are you going to rebel?"
Damn it, who doesn’t know how to take the blame?
Liu Renxiu's heart warmed at Song Jinxiu's small gesture. But then he narrowed his eyes: Saintess, Saint Son? He dared!
