The rain fell heavily for a whole day and did not stop until near evening. Li You originally wanted to invite Chen Zhixian to go to the Chenghuang Temple to offer incense, but he didn't make the trip.

However, he smiled happily under this rain, as the person in charge of praying for rain in this county, whether this rain was his reason or not, at least one credit could not be lost. At least there must be some rewards, maybe it will leave the impression of a lucky star in Chen Zhixian's heart. In addition, it is much easier, and there is no need to toss the work of praying for rain.

I'm so happy today, seeing that the rain outside has stopped, Li You hurriedly went out and went back to his residence.

At the gate of the courtyard, Xiaozhu was barefoot, rolled up his skirt, held a pair of shoes in his hand, and called happily: "Master!" Today it rained heavily, and the yard was full of water. ”

Li You stood at the head of the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw that his yard had become a small pond that had not reached his feet, and Xiaozhu waded through the water to open the door. On the steps of the hall opposite, Kimbell was standing looking at him, greeting the master from afar.

No wonder only this official building was empty before, and the terrain was relatively low, and it was going to be waterlogged when it rained heavily, and others couldn't stop and finally fell on Li Youlai's head. It hadn't rained before, and Li You hadn't noticed it.

Xiaozhu continued to say happily: "The two wings are flooded, and so is the slave's house. Only the foundation of the hall house is high. ”

Is this something to be happy about? Li You asked, "Are you not drenched in the rain?" ”

"Sister Jin asked the slave family to take a plank and build a bed to sleep in your east room, master!" Xiaozhu said happily, "Of course, if you don't go to Sister Jin's Westinghouse, you really don't mind staying in the Eastinghouse's slave house." "It turned out that she was happy to be able to sleep in the old man's bedroom.

"Of course I'll go to sleep in the Westinghouse, sir. Don't take a bed in the east house, wash it carefully and go to the big bed to sleep, sir, I don't dislike you for using my bed. ”

"The slave's body is not dirty, sir, you smell it."

Li You laughed and went back to the house. Anyway, this place may not live for long, just bear with it, and there will definitely be other arrangements when you get married.

After a night of nothing, Li You arrived at the county office, and saw the two helpers Zhang San and Li Si at the door, and he was in a good mood and said: "It's okay today, you can go by yourself." ”

However, he saw Sun Ji shouting and running over, and pulled Li You to the side and whispered: "Last night, I was eating and chatting with others at the restaurant, and I heard two things related to you. One is that there was no rain in Fucheng and the counties yesterday, only I was in Xujiang County, and it was pouring rain, and the rumors said that it was the reason why you beat the Dragon King of Xuhe. The second is that I don't know who released the rumor, the Tao is that you are messing with the shrine and having an affair with the Han witch of the City God Temple. ”

The fish didn't go and didn't eat it at all, but it was stained with fish, although Li You hated it, but there was really no good way to spread this kind of rumor that everyone loved, and it was estimated that the temples that were humiliated yesterday were indispensable. I'm in a good mood, so I won't worry about it today.

After entering the county office, a familiar official came up and said hello: "It's a timely rain, Li Dianshi has made a great contribution, and he will be invited to eat and drink when he gets a reward." ”

Li You couldn't help but smile proudly: "It's easy to say." Taihua Building, I please! ”

As soon as he entered the public house, someone came to call Li You, saying that the eldest man was looking for him. Li You hurried to the magistrate's office again, but saw that Master Huang was also there.

Chen Zhixian snorted coldly when he saw Li You coming in: "You are really capable." ”

This emotion is not right, could it be that Chen Zhixian is jealous that he has stolen the limelight? Li You hurriedly said: "This is all the fire of the eldest lord for the people, moving the heavens and the earth, so he rained down in this county." The sincerity of the eldest lord is the most important, and the deeds of his subordinates are not worth mentioning. ”

Master Huang said to Li You: "Since our county sacrificed to the sky, the surrounding counties have followed this method, Wuxian County Zun was burned by the fire and injured his arm, Kunshan County Zun tied the whole family to the fire, and all kinds of situations varied. Do you dare to say that other counties are not sincere, and only my county will rain if it is sincere? He sighed again and said: "This is an official document sent by the old prefect to this county urgently, you can take a look." As he spoke, he handed Li You a letter of official letters.

Li You took it and looked at it, it was really not long, except for the forehead and the payment on the paper, there was only one sentence: Why did it rain in Xujiang County on July 13, which was reported quickly.

His first feeling was that this prefect was too idle, and he was in a hurry to send a special courier to send it over in a hurry. But then he reacted, and now he is in a great Ming Dynasty and a period when agricultural taxes account for two-thirds of the country's fiscal revenue, and the old events of the Chongzhen Dynasty, which caused great changes in the world caused by disasters, are still vividly remembered, and which local official dares to take things related to drought lightly?

But with today's level of science and technology, who can say why it only rains in Xujiang County? It is obvious that Chen Zhixian and Master Huang are looking for him to explain.

Li You subconsciously said: "It's close to Taihu Lake, does it have anything to do with the microclimate of Taihu Lake..."The more he said, the quieter he became, he didn't study meteorology, he knew a few terms from the weather forecast in his last life, how could he have this ability to explain.

Master Huang got closer, heard the three words microclimate, and asked curiously, "What does microclimate mean?" Could it be that in addition to economics and arithmetic, Li Dianshi also knows a little about spells such as feng shui and public opinion? ”

Can't talk nonsense like this, Li You hurriedly shook his head, "I really don't understand this, I'll talk nonsense in the next moment." ”

"Speaking of which, this rain is all thanks to you." Master Huang didn't know why Yue Yu Dai gave in for Chen Zhixian: "It didn't rain after praying for the county, and it will only rain if you hit the statue of the dragon king." "It's a ridiculous reason, but it's also a very serious one.

How dare I compete with the magistrate, Li You, who didn't understand what Master Huang meant for a while, said modestly: "How dare I compare with the eldest master at this little end, this is clearly the sincerity of the eldest master, don't laugh at the old man!" Speaking of which, Li You suddenly realized something...

"Li You doesn't need to say much!" Chen Zhixian shouted, and then wrote with a brush: "Futai Zunjian, our county has a classic history of Li You, who regrets the drought in his hometown, and angrily beats the statue of the dragon king of the Xuhe River in public. The reason for this is not clear to the following officials. ”

Could it be that Chen Qingtian was really so humble and put the credit for the rain on him? Li You is not a rookie anymore, of course he has already sensed that there will be no such good thing!

Obviously, it is raining in Xujiang, but it is not raining in Fucheng, who knows what the prefect will think when he prays for rain but does not succeed? In the face of uncertain officialdom risks, the eldest master let him come forward to face the tank first, anyway, Li You is not a person in officialdom, he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

In fact, on the other hand, in Chen Zhixian's heart, it is enough to achieve fame by performing in the fire, and he does not bother to have anything to do with ghosts and gods with himself. He is a dignified seven-grade parent official, not a dancing god.

Li You sighed melancholy, he really didn't suffer from widowhood but unevenness. It's hard to do grassroots work, it's too good to do it, no, it's too good luck and a burden. Who would have thought that it would rain in Xujiang County before, and he was targeted by the prefect.

There is still a long way to go in popularizing science, and what kind of merit and reward can be talked about in such a situation...

After Chen Zhixian finished writing, he sent the reply to Fucheng with a hundred thousand fire.

The next day, another 100,000 urgent official document was sent, and the prefect instructed: "I have invited two advanced masters of Hanshan Temple and Xuan Miaoguan, and even one person from this mansion, not to your county, and after investigating the cause of this matter, it will be widely applied to this mansion, please give reception and worship." ”
