Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!
Chapter 58 National Preceptor
What on earth did the Prime Minister and the old lady want to see him about so late at night?
Taoist Hu pinched the two strands of whiskers under his nose, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Hmm."
The servant brought Taoist Hu to the study.
The Prime Minister and the old lady sat at the top, looking anxious yet slightly excited.
When they saw Taoist Hu walking in from outside, their eyes lit up and their faces showed flattering expressions.
"Master, you're here. Please take a seat." The old lady looked at the maid beside her and said, "Please bring up the tea that Master likes to drink."
"Yes."
The maid bowed to the old lady and retreated with her back bent.
Taoist Hu took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter that made you ask me to come here so late?"
"Master, did you see the rain tonight? It must be because of our prayers for rain last time that it suddenly rained so heavily."
The old lady couldn't wait to speak, but her gorgeous purple-red silk dress with dark patterns couldn't hide the dirty face underneath.
"Madam, do you want to make use of tonight's rain to make something of it?" Taoist Hu understood the meaning of the old lady's words.
The Prime Minister asked, "Master, what do you think? This rain is strange. Princess Anguo was seriously injured when she prayed for rain for the country a while ago. It's normal that the rain is a little late."
Taoist Hu, who had seen all kinds of monsters and demons, had to say after hearing the Prime Minister's words, "How can this man be so shameless?"
Taoist Hu rubbed his teacup, saying nothing, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking. Just when the Prime Minister and the old lady couldn't help but ask again, Taoist Hu said, "It's not impossible. After all, Princess Anguo is the daughter of Anping's fortune. She even got injured praying for rain for the country last time. God is kind and doesn't want to let the people suffer..."
Taoist Hu did not say anything else, but the Prime Minister and the old lady understood what was left unfinished and knew what to do.
They looked at each other and saw a look of determination in each other's eyes.
This kind of great fortune can only belong to their family.
The next morning, a rumor spread in the capital that the rain last night was the result of Princess Anguo's prayers for the country day and night. The people in the city had heard too many miraculous deeds of Princess Anguo during this period of time, and they completely believed the rumor when it suddenly came out.
.......
A village.
It was pouring rain. A horse-drawn carriage stopped in the woods on a country road. The horses pulling the carriage kicked their hooves restlessly, and their heads splashed rainwater from time to time.
Behind the carriage followed a dozen guards, wearing straw raincoats, conical hats, and holding unsheathed swords in their hands.
Ma Lian suddenly stretched out a bony hand to catch the heavy rain. A deep, hoarse voice came from the carriage, "A gift in exchange for a blessing."
Yue Yuan stretched his hand back, lifted the curtain and looked at the star that was twinkling in the dark night rain. There was another dazzling star next to this star. It seemed that these two stars were fighting for something and were always competing against each other.
"True and false, false and true, if the false is confused with the true, the world will be in chaos."
Yue Yuan looked at the Emperor Star, which was some distance away from the twinkling stars, with a strange look on his face. "Resurrection from the dead, it seems the true daughter of fortune is now with the prince."
Lowering the curtain, Yue Yuan said in a deep voice, "Speed up and head south."
..
"I'm afraid this rain will last until next night." Nanny Nan walked to Lu Jiu's side.
Lu Jiu nodded, a gentle smile on his jade-like face. "It seems that what the Imperial Master said is right. This is Ci'er's turning point. I just don't know when the destined person will appear."
"Ci'er faked his own death and was ambushed on the way here. Luckily, he met the Yuan family, otherwise Ci'er might have..."
Nanny Nan's heart ached when she thought of the scene where Xiao Ci was seriously injured. She couldn't accept this fact and fainted on the spot.
"Well, it's indeed thanks to the Yuan family. The Yuan family's little granddaughter doesn't look like an ordinary baby. Maybe this is the opportunity that the national teacher mentioned?" Lu Jiu looked up at the pouring rain with an uncertain look on his face.
Nan Ma's gaze also fell on the heavy rain. She said, "Whether the Yuan family is Ci'er's opportunity or not, the life-saving grace is a fact. Moreover, the Imperial Master did not clearly explain what the so-called opportunity is."
"Well, you're right. As long as I stay here and treat Ci'er well, that's an opportunity."
The rain lasted all night, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil and grass. The villagers rushed to the fields as soon as they got up.
The rain last night was heavy and fast. I hope it doesn't drown the newly emerged ears of corn in the fields.
When Old Lady Liu got up, she quickly told her sons, "Hurry up and grab your hoes and tools to help the villagers drain the water, otherwise the newly grown ears of corn in the fields will be useless."
At the end of October, the rice in the fields had already sprouted ears and was about to mature, but it rained heavily last night. Wouldn't the villagers be anxious to death?
Food is the foundation of the people. If they don’t harvest food in winter, they will starve all winter.
Old Man Yuan hurriedly took his sons to the fields.
Early in the morning, Shen Chulan followed Lu Jiu's carriage to Qingshui Town, and handed Yaoyao to Old Lady Liu.
It rained heavily last night and the whole mountain was covered with a layer of fog. The mountain road was slippery and it was not suitable to go up the mountain to chop firewood at this time, so Old Lady Liu took Ye Wan and the third son's wife home to make a new quilt.
After taking out all the old cotton, Old Lady Liu and Ye Wan started to fluff the cotton. It took them a whole morning to fluff two beds of ten kilograms of cotton. This process was tiring and tested one's patience.
Fortunately, both Old Lady Liu and Ye Wan are patient people.
On the contrary, the third daughter-in-law did not have such patience, and asked her to sew the quilt in a twisted and tangled manner, like a drunk centipede.
Yaoyao lay in the big basket and laughed mercilessly at the new quilt that the third son's wife had just sewn.
"Laugh...what are you laughing at...this is quite beautiful." The third son's wife was very satisfied with her masterpiece.
Old Lady Liu stretched her head to take a look, her mind racing. The stitches were worse than even a three-year-old's. She cursed, "You can't do anything. You eat everything you want. What else can you do?"
"This quilt is for me and the third brother to use. It doesn't matter if it's a little ugly." The third brother's wife muttered.
After hearing this, Old Lady Liu shut up. Forget it, she decided to give up the idea of changing the stitches.
The third son's wife stayed at home working the whole morning instead of strolling to the village entrance to exchange information with the intelligence bureau.
