Cheeky for collection.

On the top of Longmen Mountain, everyone except Xiao Mo had a happy face and a look of excitement.

Only Xiao Mo himself couldn't laugh at all, only Xiao Mo himself knew how nervous he was just now and how much cold sweat came out of his back.

After Xiao Mo came to Dasui, he originally just wanted to open a restaurant quietly and live a good life of eating and waiting for death, that is, he didn't want to be rich and rich, he didn't want to be in power, and of course he didn't want to be a poor ghost.

Xiao Mo initially contacted the Wang family and tied himself to the Wang family in a boat, also because Xiao Mo was always worried that one day, the Xiao family, who had not moved so far, would find trouble for himself, and in such an era, it was really not a matter to die a few people in secret.

Praying for rain, Xiao Mo fell into Old Man Han's pit at the beginning, but from Xiao Mo's heart, this land of China is Xiao Mo's most cordial hometown, if Xiao Mo can do something for this land to save the people, Xiao Mo can't bear to refuse from the bottom of his heart.

Especially after Xiao Mo went to the slave market and saw that kind of miserable scene, even if there was only a slight possibility, Xiao Mo hoped to help those who were suffering. What's more, in such an era, a drought is more than tens of millions of floating corpses.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Mo finally agreed to pray for rain, and now that praying for rain has finally succeeded, Xiao Mo's heart can't help but feel like he has put down a big stone.

Quan Zhian was already a little impatient to go to the foot of the mountain to see the first rain of May at this time, and there were not a few people who had the same idea, so everyone on the top of the mountain had no intention of staying.

And Xiao Mo really couldn't stand the cold on the top of this mountain, although he had prepared the thick cotton clothes used in the high mountains at night, but after all, Xiao Mo's body was weak, so Xiao Mo was also a little anxious to go down the mountain at this time.

As for Luodu at this time, after experiencing the glow in the sky last night and listening to the rumors of rain tonight, the entire Luodu after night was a little noisy.

The longer this waited, the stronger this sense of commotion became in the city.

But when the time passed, when there was a faint thunder in the sky of Luodu, the whole Luodu suddenly quieted down, if it wasn't for the thunder in the sky, I am afraid that it would be an exaggeration to say that the needle in Luodu City could be heard at this time.

In Xiao Mo's restaurant, Miss Xiao, who was gnawing on chicken legs and arguing with the maids, heard the thunder, and with a snap, the chicken legs fell to the ground.

When the heavy rain fell, Miss Xiao looked incredulous, and shouted excitedly: "Wow! It's really raining! It's really raining! It's amazing. It's amazing! ”

When Xiao Xiang'er heard this, she pouted and said: "It is said that the young master said that there is rain tonight, you still don't believe it, the young master never deceives people, and he will not lie to Xiang'er." ”

Xiao Feixuan seemed to be a little unhappy because of Xiang'er's happy appearance, but when she thought that people were praising her second brother and her own second brother, she couldn't help but feel full of pride.

On the contrary, in the high pavilion of the A-shaped building of Sihai Building, Yun Yuhan was leaning against the window at this time, looking at the heavy rain outside, his brows stretched for a while, and then wrinkled, looking very complicated.

Zhiqing on the side didn't notice the change in her young lady's face, but looked out the window and jumped excitedly: "Miss! Look! It's really raining, and it's raining so heavily, Young Master Xiao is really amazing. If it rains tonight, it really rains.

But Zhiqing didn't think it was strange, the last time Young Master Xiao looked at the ants for a long time, he also said that it was going to rain, and then it really rained. ”

Yun Yuhan frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid the situation this time is very different from last time. The changes in the heavens have been followed since ancient times, and the ancestors have long left various ways to distinguish them. Although I don't know what method Brother Shi used last time, but the sky was slightly worse that day, and the night sky of the previous day could not see the slightest starry. It can only be said that the talent of the world brother is amazing.

But this time compared to the last time, it is fundamentally different! Yesterday evening, when the sun set, there were still patches of red glow, and the sky was full of stars at night, and it was cloudless this morning, and it was impossible for rain to fall.

And the world brother said to you that there is rain tonight, coupled with last night's glow, and it is rumored that it was the world brother's doing, I am afraid that this is not simple, it is very likely that the world brother prayed for this rain with a secret method. ”

Zhiqing listened very seriously, in her opinion, even if it was said that Young Master Xiao could pray for rain, Zhiqing felt that it was a normal thing, after all, Young Master Xiao was not an ordinary person in the first place.

But Zhiqing thought about it, as if she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly her face became panicked, and even tears were about to come out, and her voice trembled: "Miss! If Young Master Xiao can really pray for rain to get rid of the drought in the Great Sui, and leave a secret method to bless future generations, doesn't that mean that Young Master Xiao must have the possibility of being knighted?

Although the Great Sui Law allowed the knighted family to accept the woman as a concubine, it would never allow the woman who was demoted to the sect to become the inner family of the knighted family.

In this way, doesn't it mean that Miss and Young Master Xiao are destined for this? ”

When Yun Yuhan heard this, he rarely did not refute or scold, but nodded silently.

Zhiqing couldn't hold back her crying anymore. Such news hit her more than anything else.

At the same time, the place where the Luodu magnates lived, in the mansion of the Xiao Mansion with nine entrances and nine exits, was in an antique courtyard.

An old man in an ordinary robe but dressed in a noble manner was stroking his long beard, his eyes were shining, standing in the corridor of the courtyard, looking at the sudden heavy rain in the courtyard, as if he was pondering something.

And next to the old man, an elegant and handsome middle-aged man stood next to the old man half a step behind, his eyes also fell on the heavy rain in the courtyard, but the expression on his face was very subtle and complicated.

The old man's eyes were still staring at the heavy rain in the courtyard, but his tone was a little stern: "Zizheng! You and I, father and son know, but not those civilians can compare, what do you think of this heavy rain? ”

The elegant and handsome man sighed and said, "I'm afraid this sudden heavy rain is really the work of Si'er." ”

When the old man heard this, he stared at the elegant middle-aged man with a sharp look and said: "The name taken by the old woman of the Wang family, recommended by Han Mulan, the old eunuch Quan Zhi'an personally came to visit, and the internal guard of the Yulin Army led the personal guard!" Let's not talk about those dusty things for the time being, that's all, I'm afraid that my old man doesn't have this treatment, right?

Hum! Why is it that I am a child of the Xiao family, but I am tied to the Wang family? And now the one I hate the most is my Xiao family? ”

The elegant middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and said, "This matter is indeed excessive, but the child was far away from Luodu that day, and there was nothing he could do to stop it."

These are all my mistakes as a father, that child is indeed not as good as a concubine, the rules of the big family are there, and it is really difficult to say a word of etiquette!

What's more, the child is indeed too tired to live in the Xiao family, so what's wrong with going out? I deliberately arranged him in Buyi Lane, and now that kid is doing well. ”

The old man was very angry when he heard this, and snorted, "Ridiculous! If others don't know, don't you know either?

Why don't you go out? Hum! Where did my Xiao family get such rules!? According to what you say, the entire Xiao family might as well be a concubine! Is being a father a son? ”

The elegant man listened and said lightly: "The child did not point to the father's affairs. Moreover, there is no right thing to say about the father, and the current Xiao family was established by your father, and your father is naturally the ancestor of the Xiao family. As for the past, everything is gone, so why should my father care? In so many powerful families in Luodu, how can a word of etiquette ever be overstepped? ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his hand and slapped the middle-aged man fiercely, and then said coldly: "Presumptuous! What a bloodline my Xiao family has! Don't you know? If you dare to speak again, your family will be waiting for you.

Moreover, such a thing as praying for rain, blessing the people in the future, is even more than the so-called auspicious for a while, if the fourth son is knighted, and then the Xiao family will stand on its own, how do you let the Xiao family deal with themselves?

Anyway, Si'er, this matter will be handed over to you, if you can't do it, don't come back! If you do it well, one more person will have one more chance! So saying, the old man went into the house and slammed the door shut.

The middle-aged man sighed and said to himself: "Si'er is my own blood, I won't let him suffer, but between this Xiao family, this Luodu, and this powerful person, it's difficult!" What's wrong with this now, at least Si'er has an easy life, why drag Si'er into the water and seek the impossible. ”

Except for the Xiao family, all kinds of different conversations were happening in different places in Luodu at this time.

Xiao Mo himself naturally didn't know about these things. For Xiao Mo, after being busy for so many days, he finally completed one thing in his heart, and the whole person relaxed a lot, and he already fell asleep while sitting in the carriage home.

As for the matter of military spending, Xiao Mo really didn't think about it so much, no matter how bad it was, he also had a way to make money, but the money came a little slowly, and there was praying for rain, at most, the two sides were offset, and he would be punished, and he would not let himself lose his life.

It's just that Xiao Mo didn't know that the Great Sui empire was just established at this time, and it was hit by the war in the north, and the matter of military expenditure was a matter of the people's hearts.

At this time, the general environment, for Yang Jian, the most important thing in front of him is the matter of military spending, and if the military expenditure is not complete, it is more terrible than anything else.
