Chapter 87: Prophecy
After a stick of incense, Jiang Xinzhi took Jiang Ruan back unscathed, leaving Jiang Quan depressed, but now Jiang Xinzhi has made military merits, and his temperament has changed greatly, which is not as easy to handle as in the past. Jiang Susu also wanted to add to the fire: "Dad, look at the big sister ......." โ
"Shut up!" Jiang Quan was angry, looking at Jiang Susu's weak appearance, he only felt even more upset, and said: "Don't walk around with filthy air on your body, go back to your own yard!" After that, he glared at Jiang Chao fiercely and walked away.
Jiang Susu watched Jiang Quan leave in amazement, but a trace of hatred flashed in Jiang Chao's eyes. The two brothers and sisters were silent, but at the same moment, they hated Jiang Xinzhi and Jiang Ruan.
After a peaceful night, I woke up early the next morning, and Dew came from outside with a rose cake, and said as she walked: "The rain is lighter, and it is about to stop." โ
She was a little worried on her face, she also knew a thing or two about what Jiang Ruan was going to do, and now that the rain had stopped, things could be good.
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, looking through the window, the rain was fine, the low droplets on the eaves were much slower, and the air became softer, sweeping away the dark clouds of the previous days. It seems that it will not be long before the rain will pass and the sky will clear.
Forsythia handed the boiled red dates and longan honey to Jiang Ruan: "It's not time yet, just wait." โ
Jiang Ruan took the honey water and took a shallow sip, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.
Well, it's almost clear, actually...... The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
On the edge of the embankment of the Bochang Reservoir, the reservoir chief wiped his sweat, ran diligently before and after, and constantly flattered the noble people in front of him: "The water potential has been controlled, the embankment is also very stable, look at the rain in the past few days, it will soon be clear." This matter of controlling the water is all the credit of His Royal Highness the Eighth and Young Master Li. โ
Xuan Li smiled gently: "It's just doing what I should do." โ
The treasurer's smiling chrysanthemum-like face was even more brilliant when he heard this: "Your Highness is modest, the lives of the people around the reservoir are in the hands of His Highness, and it is really a blessing for the people to have such an adult as His Highness in the Dajin Dynasty." After this incident, the lower officials will definitely report His Royal Highness's merits to the court word for word. "He has a lively mind, everyone knows that the crown prince is not favored today, and now the most powerful people in the palace are only the eighth prince and the fifth prince, although the five princes are good, but they are not as powerful as the biological mother of the eighth prince in front of His Majesty.
Thinking about it, the Eighth Prince still has a greater chance of winning. Now that Xuanli has made a contribution in this matter, he took the opportunity to curry favor, if he got blue eyes, wouldn't his career be smooth sailing in the future. Thinking of this, the chief of the library smiled more sincerely.
Xuanli smiled like a spring breeze, neither denying it nor going down. There are many people watching the excitement on the side of the embankment, and these days the reservoir has made great efforts to control the water, and the people have seen it. They were both apprehensive and grateful that someone in a high position had come down in person. The people are always the easiest people to satisfy. In addition, the head of the reservoir blew Xuanli's merits to the sky, and the people were even more grateful to Xuanli.
Receiving the eyes of the people's love, the corners of Xuan's mouth curled deeper, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. This smile is very kind in the eyes of the people, and then look at the gentle and handsome Eighth Highness who is praised by the people for his talents, and his description is noble, and he has praised his merits.
Li An, who was walking beside Xuanli, still had a gloomy expression, but it was this expression that made Xuanli more approachable.
While the people in the embankment were admiring, an untimely voice sounded: "Woe to you! Disaster! โ
The voice was not harsh in the midst of the praise, but it was very clear, and Xuan Li frowned almost invisibly, and turned his head to look at the place where the embankment was speaking.
When people heard this, they gradually stopped, only to see a yellow-robed monk slowly walking in the crowd. He is kind and kind-eyed, his robe is clean and unstained with dust, and he is like a white lotus under the seat of the Buddha in his actions, with a faint holy atmosphere.
Someone in the crowd recognized him and said, "Isn't this Master Huijue?" How did Master Huijue come here? โ
"It's really Master Huijue! It is the holy monk in Beijing, the master of Huijue who predicts the odd accuracy! โ
"What does Master Huijue mean by what he just said?"
Xuan Li and Li An stared at this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared, Huijue's reputation is now hot in the entire aristocracy in the capital, especially those who believe in Buddhism, they all know that Lu Dao, this monk is very capable. But Xuanli and Ang Lee are both atheists, and they have no fear of ghosts and gods, and they look at Huijue like an ordinary liar.
Huijue folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk divined the hexagram last night, the hexagram showed that the western dragon qi collided, and the water dragon raised its head, I am afraid that there will be a strong wind and rain coming, and the danger is dangerous, and the reservoir is afraid of the risk of collapse." โ
"What?" The woman holding the child suddenly panicked and said, "What the master said is true? โ
Huijue clasped his hands together and nodded with low eyebrows.
Xuanli took Li An and walked slowly towards Huijue, and when he walked in, Xuanli smiled gently: "What the master said is true?" โ
"Monks don't speak." Hui Jue said lightly.
Xuan Li and Li An glanced at each other, and Li An suddenly stared at Hui Jue and said, "Master, then what do you say should be done next?" โ
"The disaster has come, it is imminent, thousands of lives in the downstream of the reservoir are not allowed to play with children's play, please evacuate here overnight, find a higher place, so as not to suffer from flooding."
Ang Lee snorted and laughed.
When Xuan Li saw Li An smiling, his heart also settled, his expression was still gentle, but his words were cold: "Master does you know the end of disturbing the people's hearts?" โ
Hui Jue looked back at his gaze lightly, not avoiding it, it was really a little clear as a lotus.
Xuanli originally thought that he was an ordinary liar, but at this moment, seeing that this monk had an extraordinary temperament, he kept saying that he would take the people downstream, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart. Subconsciously thought that it must be the person sent by the five princes, in order to rob him of his credit, the relocation of the people is not a trivial matter, if it is really done like this, then it will be safe and sound, not only has the saying that the people's power is wasted, but also will be ridiculed by the people of the world, saying that he has soft ears and listens to the slander of the demon monks.
He stared at Huijue's face, and felt more and more hateful, and the people of Qin Tianjian also said that there was a sign that the rain would stop. The credit for nothing is in front of you, and the five princes want to intervene? When everyone around him is stupid pigs!
"Master Huijue said that, but what evidence is there?" Xuan Liqi calmed down and said idly.
Huijue bowed his head: "Amitabha, the matter of divination, the hexagram has been revealed, and the poor monk has no evidence." โ
"If there is no evidence, it is just a lie." Proclamation. The methods of the five princes are too clumsy, and there is no need to think too much about it.
"The master is not that kind of person!"
"Yes, everything the master said has come true!"
"What the master said must be true!"
To Xuanli's surprise, most of the crowd echoed Hui Jue, and he frowned quietly, did the five princes invite such a person and use Hui Jue's prestige to force him to give this order?
He sneered in his heart, but unfortunately, he was never at the mercy of others!
"Dare to make a big statement here without evidence, master, woe comes from the mouth." Xuan Li still wants to solve this matter easily, and he has the image of a good man.
Huijue sighed for a long time: "The world praises the donor for his wisdom and determination, kindness for the people, and the lives of thousands of people in the lower reaches of the Bochang Reservoir, isn't it worth the risk of the donor?" โ
Xuan Li's face changed, and the eyes of the surrounding people were no longer as loving as Fang Cai, but instead there was an expression of doubt, anger, and doubt.
This monk is stirring up the hearts of the people and provoking his supporters!
Without waiting for him to speak, Li An ordered: "Where did the demon monk come from, he actually spoke disrespectfully to His Highness, come here, arrest this demon monk for me!" โ
The corners of Xuanli's lips hooked slightly, many things that were inconvenient for him to do, but Li An could do them, leaving Li An behind, not only because of his rare intelligence, but also because he was a master of perceiving people's hearts.
The crowd was excited, and Xuan Li said in a timely manner: "The master is a monk, I will not be rude to the monks, but if the master talks so nonsense, it will have a lot of impact on the security of the capital, I will find a place for the master, recuperate for a few days, and when the rain stops, it is not too late for the master to come out again." โ
Hui Jue bowed his head: "Amitabha, the poor monk is a skin, although he does not hesitate to die, but thousands of people downstream, it is best to evacuate overnight today, otherwise there will be worries about his life." โ
A glimmer of light flashed in Xuan Li's eyes, and he said gently: "His Royal Highness has ordered that from today onwards, the people downstream of the reservoir are not allowed to leave a single step. Those who leave are regarded as disorderly and cut off. โ
It's a-for-tat.
Now that the water is stable, if the monk's nonsense disturbs the originally stable people's hearts, it will also be very unfavorable to the "merit" he has created.
Hui Jue looked at him lightly, and no one could see the cold sweat crawling on his back under the wide monk's robe.
But after a night of thinking about it, before dawn, he finally made a decision.
Jiang Ruan's conditions are too tempting, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. If he could really cure his son's illness because of this, he would have made a lot of money.
Although I don't know who is behind Jiang Ruan, judging from the previous events, this little girl is still so powerful, and the person behind it must not be an idle person. Even if the opponent is the Eighth Prince, he has always sought wealth and danger, not to mention, this is a splashing wealth.
Huijue went all the way to Beijing from the square inch of Yuzhou, and he has never made a mistake in deception for decades, firstly because he already knows some Buddhist scriptures, secondly, because he is clever in deception, and most importantly, he is bold and careful. True and false, false and true, even those who are proficient in this way are difficult to see flaws.
But when he faced the Tian family today, he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart. However, years of experience have not shown half of his face. The more merciful he said, the more Xuanli felt that he had a ghost in his heart, and Xuanli did not accept his suggestion, and the goal was achieved.
Jiang Ruan once reminded him that Xuan Li was a person who paid attention to his reputation, and if he pursued perfection and caught him in full view, he would definitely not use any criminal law against him, otherwise he would commit public anger among the people. Even if he really wants to be punished, it will be three days later, but after three days, will Xuan Li still have that chance to punish?
Success or failure in this move, Hui Jue shook his head, sighed, folded his hands, said no more, and followed Li An's guards away.
The crowd that originally surrounded the embankment had no love in their eyes at the moment, only panic, and they all discussed the possibility of the reservoir collapsing in three days. Li An understood, and said with a sinking face: "Didn't you hear what Your Highness said just now?" Don't listen to rumors and make trouble, within three days, anyone who dares to leave a step will be dealt with! โ
Li An Bu Xuanli had a kind face, his already gloomy expression and low tone, he had a somewhat fierce appearance, and the people were suddenly silent. Xuanli waved his hand, waved his hand and said, "Go back." โ
On the other hand, the reservoir chief, who was already frightened, hurriedly followed, nodding all the way to see each other off.
Although the crowd was still in a panicked mood, because of Li An's order, there were soldiers around him, and they were uneasy, so they quickly dispersed. When the crowd dispersed, two people remained. One of them was in a black robe, with an indifferent expression, looking at the embankment thoughtfully.
The man who looked like a guard next to him spoke: "Master, Jin Yi and Jin Er have already checked, and there is no problem with the embankment." โ
Xiao Shao said: "Be careful about the movement here. "There is no problem with the levee, it is not man-made, and there is also the saying that the rain suddenly increased. He looked into the distance, his long eyelashes drooping down, hiding the deep meaning in his eyes.
"Let's go."
In Jiang's mansion, Lu Zhu told Jiang Ruan the news she had just heard, and said excitedly: "Master Huijue has come forward, and the Eighth Prince has brought him back, will he confess to us?" โ
"No, it won't." Jiang Ruan said.
Forsythia and Bai Zhi looked worried, and only listened to Jiang Ruan: "Xuanli This person is unfathomable, and he is suspicious by nature, so he won't deal with Huijue so quickly." Even if he really wants to deal with it, Huijue can distinguish the importance and the severity, and if he can't get through it, he will be a rotting corpse, and if he survives, he will be rich and rich. He is a smart man, and he naturally knows how to choose. In fact, in the previous life, Xuanli controlled Huijue to enter the court, and Huijue's status was not smooth sailing, there were many voices of opposition in the court, and there were countless guns and arrows during the period, but Huijue still achieved the position of the national teacher.
Such a person is now just lacking in courage, but his heart is not ordinarily strong.
In this life, wouldn't it be better to aim Xuanli's arrow at himself?
Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and Dew noticed it, so she said: "Girl, there is another thing, the slave maid met the fifth aunt on the road, and she said that the master received a letter today, saying that he wanted to marry the girl to the prime minister's mansion...... Married to Master Li. The old man seems to be preparing to send Geng Ti over. โ
"Ridiculous!" Forsythia couldn't help but say: "The girl is only eleven years old now, but any ordinary official family will definitely not marry Miss Yan out of Lu so early!" โ
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, Jiang Quan took a letter before making this decision, Li An likes to torture slowly, it must not be his idea, I think it was the young master Li who was sick in bed who woke up and was ready to take revenge.
Disaster leads to the east, Jiang Susu's mother and daughter are afraid that they will not be able to ask for it.
"Girl, by all means," Bai Zhi said anxiously: "Why don't you go and ask the eldest young master, no, ask the old lady?" โ
"What's the hurry?" Jiang Ruan said unhurriedly: "If he wants me to enter the door of the Li family, it also depends on whether he has that life." โ
"Geng Ti is almost gone." Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "The master is so ruthless, I can't wait to let the girl jump into the fire pit instead of the second girl, the people of Yanhuayuan are even more happy to see it, and the girl has to plan for herself!" โ
Jiang Ruan looked at her anxious appearance, and suddenly smiled faintly: "Don't you believe it?" Bet how. โ
Bai Zhi was stunned.
"After three days of gambling, Jiang Quan cried and begged to take back Gengti." She said.
At this moment, in Yanhua Garden, the gloomy atmosphere of the previous days was washed away, and it was unusually harmonious.
Jiang Susu snuggled in Xia Yan's arms and said, "So, Jiang Ruan will marry Li Yang that waste man soon?" โ
Xia Yan glanced at her reproachfully: "You be quiet." Even so, he couldn't help but smile a little on his face: "Yes, the Li family is not a simple place, if she goes in, she will be no different from a prostitute in the Qinglou, then Li Dong ......" Realizing something, she suddenly stopped and glanced at Jiang Susu.
Although Jiang Susu didn't understand the affairs of men and women, he guessed a few points from Xia Yan's words, but instead of being shy, he showed a satisfied smile: "Really? She hurt my brother and me like this, made my grandfather dislike us, and was extremely arrogant in the house, leaving her alive, wouldn't it be too cheap for her? โ
"When she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was better to live than to die." Xia Yan said coldly: "Li Yang hates him to the core, how can she get benefits?" When the time comes, you will trample her under your feet, and no one will dare to say a word. โ
Jiang Susu's beautiful eyes flashed, as if she was extremely happy, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "What about Jiang Xinzhi?" If he had known about it, he would not have given up. โ
"Your father and I decided to hide this from him first, and when we have cleaned up that little slut, it will not be too late to clean him up." Xia Yan stroked Jiang Susu's head: "Su'er, whoever hurts you, my mother will definitely make him pay a thousandfold price." โ
Jiang Susu nodded obediently and snuggled in Xia Yan's arms, with a flash of viciousness in his eyes.
No matter how angry Jiang Ruan's two brothers and sisters are, now her mother is still in charge of the Jiang Mansion, there is still a Jiang Quan above, what about the deputy general, and what about military achievements, her father wants Jiang Ruan to marry a waster, so she has to marry! Let her enter the Prime Minister's Mansion or fulfill her, now Geng Ti has been sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Quan is determined to use Jiang Ruan in exchange for friendship with the Li family, Jiang Ruan This time, it is impossible to escape!
"Mother, I want to see Jiang Ruan's tragic appearance when she marries into the Prime Minister's Mansion now." Jiang Susu said.
"Soon," a grim smile appeared on Xia Yan's lips: "Geng Ti has been sent over, and the days are also arranged by your father and Prime Minister Li, Li Yang hates Jiang Ruan to the core, and the desire to torture her in his heart is afraid that it is even stronger, in my opinion, he will marry Jiang Ruan back to the mansion as soon as possible, and I will also take the opportunity to talk to your father about it, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Her voice was slow and low: "However, according to the words of the matchmaker of my parents, no matter how long this night is, it must be a dreamless night." โ
