Chapter 16 The Old Man Grows Stronger

I saw Chen Yu sitting cross-legged on a two-meter-high platform, his hair was scattered, his eyes were slightly closed, his mouth was still muttering something, holding a whisk in one hand, pinching his fingers in the other, and a red belt was tied to a wide gray robe.

This robe is really a bit big, Chen Yu feels like a robe when he wears it, this is not because of the urgency of time, he can't find the right clothes for a while, so he can only do it helplessly.

There were also eight children sitting on the ground around the platform, these children were also disheveled, and their posture was the same as Chen Yu, but they didn't change their clothes.

It's no wonder that Old Man Lou was startled, he was very weird just dressed up, not to mention this posture of pretending to be a ghost, it looked really weird, "Yan Gongzi is ......"

"Master Lou doesn't need to panic, the recent drought in Huaishuo has been abnormal, the weather is hot and dry, and those wounded soldiers are even more miserable, so my young master will build a platform to pray for rain and pray for the people!" Qian Ergou explained to Master Lou on the side.

"I see, Yan Gongzi really has a heart, so I won't bother! Let's visit the old man another day! Seeing this situation, Old Man Lou didn't have the heart to chat with Chen Yu, so he was ready to go home.

"Master Lou stays, my young master said that he wanted to ask you to do something, and the young master is begging for rain now and can't interrupt, so I can only convey it on my behalf!" Qian Ergou suddenly took out a piece of paper as if he was doing a trick, and then respectfully handed it to Master Lou.

"This is a mantra for rain, please recite it three times, and then go home and burn it with fire, if it rains all day, then Master Lou has also accumulated great merit!" Qian Ergou looked pious, and he could see that Lou Fat Man secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Lou Neigan thought that Chen Yu was begging him for something, but he didn't expect that he just recited this spell for rain, of course he would not refuse this kind of thing, but when he picked up the paper and looked at it, Lou Neigan was completely dumbfounded, "This little brother, forgive the old man for being presumptuous, this old man really can't understand this charm......"

Lou Neigan also traveled from south to north when he was young in business, and he actually had a lot of knowledge, but even if he was talented, of course he would not know what Chen Yu wrote in English: "too, young, too, simple"

"It's okay, please Master Lou please read it to me, Too young, too simple Tucson breaks!" Qian Ergou folded his hands, lowered his head slightly, and read respectfully.

Old man Lou learned from Qian Ergou's appearance, recited it respectfully three times, and then got up in the sedan chair and went home, and the first thing he did when he got home was to carefully burn the charm clean......

In the afternoon of the same day, rumors began to spread in Huaishuo Town, and everyone was discussing one thing, that is, the recently famous Yan Gongzi and the richest man Lou asked for rain for Huaishuo together. At first, it was just an ordinary platform to ask for rain, but later it became more and more evil.

Carpenter Li is the best carpenter in the town, and now he is telling people about his experience, "I took my apprentices to Yan Gongzi's house this morning, you guess what to do, I went to build a platform for Yan Gongzi's house, yes, it is the platform where he begs for rain." ”

"This Yan Gongzi is Huaishuo's great benefactor, of course it is my duty to do his business, not to mention that it is a good thing to ask for rain for the people, I don't say a word to my apprentice, and the six-zhang high platform will be built in a while!" Chen Yu is now a big celebrity in Huaishuo, and when Carpenter Li said that he was working for his family, the smugness on his face was also overflowing.

"You just blow it, the wall courtyard of Yan Gongzi's house is not high, if there is a six-zhang high platform, you would have seen it outside!" The old man selling cakes next door sneered, and everyone else followed suit.

However, this Lao Li had already prepared his words, only to see him smile slightly, and said without surprise: "If you want to say that you uneducated people are really shallow, what kind of person is Yan Gongzi, that is the reincarnation of a god who has fallen into the mortal world, and millions of Rouran people have been embarrassed by him and fled, as soon as he casts a spell, of course people outside can't see the appearance of the high platform!" ”

Seeing that everyone was bluffed by himself, Carpenter Li hurriedly made persistent efforts and said: "After the six-zhang high platform was built, I was still so tall at that time, shouldn't Yan Gongzi get a ladder to climb up, guess what happened?" ”

"If you have a fart, let it go, don't sell it!" The old man who bought the cake was still disdainful of Lao Li at first, but at this time he listened most seriously.

"I saw that Yan Gongzi waved the dust, and suddenly I felt a flower in front of me, and when I looked at it again, Yan Gongzi was already sitting firmly on the high platform, you said that this Yan Gongzi is not a fairy descending to earth, or what!" Lao Li said proudly: "My Lao Li has helped the immortals in this life, and he has accumulated great virtue, and he will definitely be rich and wealthy in the next life!" ”

When everyone saw Lao Li's virtue, they all disdained him, and of course there were envy in their hearts, no matter what, they all believed in the information that Chen Yu was the reincarnation of the gods......

In the small courtyard of the Chen family, Qian Ergou is now wearing a new dress, standing beside Chen Yu proudly, because of his previous outstanding performance, Qian Ergou has become a genuine servant in Chen Yu's family.

Qian Ergou is not surnamed Qian, his mother is remarried, this surname Qian's stepfather already has two sons, and they are all older than Qian Ergou, usually these two brothers bully Qian Ergou, but when they heard that Qian Ergou became a small servant of Yan Gongzi's family, these two brothers called Qian Ergou an affectionate, so they called Qian Ergou brother.

Qian Ergou's stepfather usually doesn't have a good face for this son, but this time he took Qian Ergou's hand for the first time and told Qian Ergou that this family will be said to be productive in the future, that is, him, and the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the lintel will be on him.

Qian Ergou thought of his family's attitude towards him now, and suddenly his heart was so beautiful that he couldn't do it, which also strengthened Qian Ergou's determination to follow Chen Yuming.

Of course Chen Yu didn't know Qian Ergou's thoughts, he just wanted to find someone to take care of the family's injuries and illnesses, and the second and third girls of the Wang family next door often helped, but now that he and the third girl have this matter, Chen Yu doesn't want to receive the love of others.

"Ergou, you said that rumors have spread outside now, especially this Carpenter Li, who is the most evil?" Chen Yu didn't know what Ergou was smirking at, but he was happy in new clothes, and he didn't care.

Hearing Chen Yu's inquiry, Qian Ergou immediately put away his smirk and said seriously: "Young Master! Exactly! According to your orders, we all spread the news that you and Master Lou begged for rain, don't look at us as children, the ability to spread is still okay, although we have also added a lot of embellishments and exaggerations, but the effect is really not as good as that Li carpenter! ”

"I remember we didn't inform Carpenter Li to help us build momentum!" Chen Yu asked curiously.

"When he came, I asked him to build a two-meter-high platform according to your instructions, and after making the platform, I sent him away, not only did I not tell him, but we didn't even tell him what we were doing, who would have thought that this carpenter Li was born to be a braggart!" Qian Ergou said helplessly.

"It's okay, this carpenter Li can be regarded as a favor for us, I happen to have a job in two days and still need a carpenter, you will call him early tomorrow morning!" Looking at the slightly cloudy weather, the corners of Chen Yu's mouth also hooked, "Old man Lou, don't you enter the urn this time!" ”

Lou Neigan's mood on this day can only be described as ups and downs.

In the morning, because he drove away Gao Huan, his daughter, who has always been well-behaved, was still angry with himself, and he was still angry, and he heard Yan Gongzi send words, but he was very happy, although he was a little confused about the congratulations that Chen Yu said, but he was just puzzled.

When he arrived at Chen Yu's house and saw Chen Yu, Lou Neigan suddenly felt dazed, and was directly blinded by Chen Yu's pretending to be a ghost, and waited until the middle of the night, when he was woken up by the heavy rain, Lou Neigan had no other mood at this time except for shock.

"Sir! Why do you sit alone in the hall without even lighting the lamp? Mrs. Lou used to think that her husband's expression was different, but now that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran out to sit still, she felt even more strange in her heart.

"Hey! Some things don't work out! Lou Neigan took the candle from his wife's hand, put it on the table, and sighed.

"Isn't it because of my daughter's business, master, in fact, Gao Huan, this young man looks good to me, he looks beautiful, speaks decently, and is much stronger than when you were young!" Although Mrs. Lou's children are not young, she is only in her thirties, and she is usually well maintained, under the candlelight, she smiles and smiles, and she is even more feminine.

Lou Nei calmed down, and then told his wife everything he had seen and heard today, he didn't expect her to give him some advice, he just wanted to find someone to talk to.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lou smiled and said, "Master! What you said, the slave family was also surprised when he heard it, this Yan Gongzi's words and poems are rare, and the military strategy is even more clever, and now even the weather can be predicted, but the name of the prodigy is not false, but no matter how powerful he is, what is there worth it for you to sigh and can't sleep? ”

"During the day, he congratulated me and made me baffled! After seeing him, I was even more shocked, I have been traveling south and north for so many years, and I have seen a lot of people, but like Yan Gongzi, he ......" Lou Neigan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Sir! You're really worried this time! Mrs. Lou smiled slightly, and said softly: "This Yan Gongzi is very good friends with our family Zhao'er, I heard that they also have the status of master and apprentice, isn't it better for our family to be more powerful such a person?" ”

Mrs. Lou glanced at her husband and saw that he was listening carefully, so she continued: "Yan Gongzi can pinch and calculate, he said congratulations to the master, then it must be a happy event in our family, in this way, you just need to be happy, master, why bother?" ”

"Haha! Madame's words really untied the knot in my heart, you are right, I am a mediocre person who disturbs myself! Lou Neigan was so happy that he hugged his wife in his arms, looking at the delicate appearance of the beauty in his arms who wanted to refuse and welcome, he suddenly laughed, the unhappiness in his heart was swept away, and he stretched out his hand to reach into the placket of his wife's clothes.

"Sir! Entering the inner room, how can there be ...... in the hall" Mrs. Lou's face turned red, as if she could drip blood, and Lou Neigan was even more horny, so she could not take care of entering the house, and directly staged a beautiful picture of the spring palace with boundless colors.

The words sent by Chen Yu are really appropriate to describe Lou Neigan at this moment......
