King Wu returned to Guanwa Palace with a heavy heart, and Xi Shi immediately saw that King Wu was in a wrong mood. King Wu was full of pride in conquering the world to discuss with Bo Yao Wu Zixu. When he returned, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and the whole thing was wilted.

Xi Shi personally brought water and washed his hands and cleaned his face for King Wu. said: "The king is a little uncomfortable, you can lose your temper with the concubines, roar a few times, and let out the depression in your heart will be better." ”

King Wu said: "Get angry outside, go home and be angry with women." The widow is not so decrepit. ”

Xi Shi hurriedly said: "The concubine saw that the king was in a bad mood and didn't know how to comfort the king, so she didn't mean to belittle the king. As he spoke, his eyes turned a little red.

King Wu took Xi Shi in his arms and coaxed: "Madame, don't be suspicious, the widow just encountered a troublesome thing." Depressed for a while, it has nothing to do with Mrs. ”

Xi Shi said with red eyes: "The concubines have served the king for so many years, and they have always been trembling and walking on thin ice, for fear that they will not be able to serve anywhere and annoy the king, but they still can't make the king feel comfortable." The fault of the concubine is also. As he spoke, a sparkling tear dripped down.

The beauty of Xi Shi, whether it is laughter, anger, or grievance, has a unique charm. Coupled with the two-point flattery, where can King Wu resist. Hurriedly patted Xi Shi and said, "You are the widow's little baby, and you give the widow too much happiness." This thing really has nothing to do with you. Madame, don't be aggrieved. ”

Xi Shi said with some sadness: "It's a pity that the concubine is just a woman's family, she has no ability, and she can't share the king's worries." ”

King Wu thought of many things before, Xi Shi had unique opinions, and this beauty was not without a brain. So he said, "Madam, I didn't want to tell you, for fear of worrying you for no reason. Now I'll tell you that maybe you can make some good claims. ”

Shih Tzu said, "What troubles have the king encountered?" ”

King Wu said: "Wu has just encountered a major event, that is, the winter wheat sown in autumn this time, not a single seedling has emerged, and there is no harvest next summer, and Wu will be in danger." ”

Xi Shi said: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder the king is in a hurry. That's a big deal. The concubine remembered that when she was at home when she was a child, this kind of thing happened to our family. ”

King Wu was suddenly interested: "It turns out that when Mrs. was in Ramie Village, she also encountered the problem of not being able to produce seedlings." So how did it come to be solved? ”

Xi Shi said: "When my father was at the autumn festival that year, he happened to be sick and did not participate in the autumn festival, which was blamed by God. Daddy immediately replanted the seeds again, and then held a grand autumn festival of his own, and guess what? ”

King Wu said, "How is it? ”

Xi Shi said: "The wheat sown later, although the seedlings appeared a little late, but the seedlings appeared very neatly, and the harvest that year was still very good. My family didn't go hungry. ”

King Wu was a little stunned. Oh my God, is it disrespectful to God, and God has come to punish Wu Guo?

Xi Shi said: "King, this matter cannot be left in this way, and it should be replanted as soon as possible." ”

King Wu said, "Madame is right. The widows have been arranged, the whole country has been mobilized, and even the army has been dispatched. It is estimated that the sowing will be completed in ten days. ”

Xi Shi said: "This matter is in charge of the land god of grain, and if you want to make good wheat seedlings, the god of grain must not worship." ”

King Wu said, "Yes, the god of grains is to be worshiped sincerely. ”

Xi Shi said: "You must not be contemptuous of the gods, and every farmer must worship the god of grains after planting their crops." We have such a custom there, every season when the crops are planted, the village chief takes everyone to worship the god of grains, and also sings social operas. It's going to take two or three days. ”

King Wu said: "Thank you, Madame, for reminding you, if not, the widows have neglected such an important matter, and the widows will pass down a decree that after the wheat is replanted, every village should organize a worship of the god of grains." Come! ”

Immediately an attendant ran in: "Command, king." ”

King Wu said: "You inform Wu You, let him inform Dazai, after the wheat sowing is completed this time, the whole country will take the village as a unit to carry out an activity to worship the god of grains, be pious and solemn, and pray that God will bless the Great Wu with good wind and rain." Please ask Dazai to arrange the specific things. ”

The chamberlain saluted and said, "Yes, the servant will go and inform General Wu." "Quit.

King Wu sighed and said, "I don't know where my husband offended the heavens, and the heavens want to punish Wu in this way." ”

Xi Shi comforted: "Don't worry, the king should not worry, God is generous and merciful, as long as we have a heart of awe and sincerely follow the way of heaven, God will definitely bless us." ”

King Wu said: "What Madame said is very true. Fortunately, the widow should not listen to Wu Zixu's words and cause trouble. ”

Xi Shi said: "What did Wu Xiangguo say? ”

King Wu said: "Wu Zixu said that this is the Yue country doing tricks on food. made the wheat not sprout, and deliberately came to pit our Wu country. ”

Xi Shi groaned and said, "Xiangguo said so. ”

King Wu said: "Wu Zixu is old, his words are not credible. ”

Xi Shi said, "Don't believe it, what if it's true?" ”

In fact, the doubts in King Wu's heart have not been eliminated, and he actually said this according to Xi Shi's words, he has not forgotten that Xi Shi is a native of Yue. Unexpectedly, Xi Shi actually said the opposite. He looked at Xi Shi's extremely beautiful eyes with some confusion, and said, "What does Madame mean?" ”

Xi Shi said: "Is it Yue Guo who has done tricks, this matter is very easy to verify, let's verify it, will you know soon?" ”

King Wu's interest came again, and if he could figure this matter out and his doubts were eliminated, his heart would brighten up a lot, and he hurriedly said, "Madam, you say, how can we verify this matter?" ”

Xi Shi said: "King, the grain returned by the Yue Kingdom has also been distributed in Gusu City?" ”

King Wu said, "Yes." The people of Gusu City also distributed it. ”

Xi Shi said: "This thing is easy to do, we go to the people's homes, ask for a little grain returned by the Yue country, and plant it in Gusutai, but the seedlings will not appear, and after a few days, the results will come out." ”

King Wu applauded and laughed: "Madam, you are not ordinary smart. You can think of a way to do it. It's a brilliant idea. That's what we're doing. Come! ”

Shih Tzu said, "Wait! ”

King Wu waved his hand, and the chamberlain who had come in withdrew. Xi Shi said: "This kind of thing, the concubines and the king themselves to do. Now the concubine and the king will return to Gusu City, get wheat, and sow it herself, there won't be any falsehood, right? ”。

King Wu said: "Yes, Madame is a material for doing things, and the widow will ask you for more advice in the future." Come on, prepare the car! ”

King Wu gave an order, immediately someone prepared a carriage, two maids helped Xi Shi to get into the carriage, King Wu rode a horse, there were guards in front of the road, the guards behind the guards, and the group came to Gusu City.
