Chapter 509: Father and Son
Last night's wind and rain made the weather drop a little, but when Ji Yanning woke up the next day, the maids and guards were cleaning up the yard.
Because the wind was so strong, even the trees in the yard that were a little thinner were broken, and things were blown very messy.
Rong Che had left before she woke up, as if she had never been there.
Seeing Ji Yanning standing at the door of the room, Ziyu came over with warm water and said, "Miss, the slave maid is waiting for you to wash." ”
Ji Yanning hummed softly, came back to his senses, his eyes were still a little painful, and he couldn't help blinking.
Ziyu put the basin on the shelf and said, "Miss's eyes are a little swollen, so let's rest more." ”
"It's okay, it'll be fine in no time. Ji Yanning didn't take it to heart.
After freshening up, I let Pearl bring the ointment to reduce swelling, and sure enough, it didn't take an hour for the redness and swelling under the eyes to disappear.
Even when An came to her yard, he didn't notice anything unusual.
"I'll come over and see if there is any loss in your yard, and if you need it, just tell your aunt. ”
An's attitude towards Ji Yanning was very friendly, and seeing that her yard had been cleaned up as before, she was relieved.
Ji Yanning said with a smile: "It's just that a few trees have been broken, and there are no other losses, Uncle Lao is worried about it." ”
An said: "Yesterday's heavy rain is unseen for many years, I heard that some houses in the city have collapsed, and there are many people involved in the east of the city, and your uncle will deal with these things early in the morning." ”
Ji Yanning thought about it, yesterday's wind and rain were indeed not small, and even a few trees in his yard were broken, I am afraid that those who live in thatched huts or dilapidated houses are even more sad, Liu Mu is a squire of the military department, and at this time, it is indeed necessary to mobilize some materials from the military department to settle these people.
Even the people in Chang'an City are like this, and the losses of ordinary farmers who want to come outside may not be small.
Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't see his emotions.
"What are you thinking?" An Shi couldn't help but ask, seeing that she was thinking a little distracted.
Ji Yanning came back to his senses and said, "I'm thinking, even my aunt said that yesterday's thunderstorms were rare, and they must have affected a lot of people, and I don't know if God is dissatisfied with something." ”
She said casually, but Ann understood the meaning of her words.
An Shi said: "You can't talk nonsense about this, what can you do that can trigger the wrath of the heavens? If you let others hear this, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble." ”
If you can provoke the wrath of the heavens, it is naturally the emperor's fault, and if you do not do your duty as the emperor, or if it is related to the imperial family, it will cause the wrath of heaven such as retribution.
But if anyone dares to say that, they will probably die.
Of course, unless it is Qin Tianjian, there may be a trace of life.
Ji Yanning saw An's nervous appearance, then nodded, and responded: "Uncle don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, I know what to say and what not to say." ”
She can not say it, but it does not prevent her from getting others to speak.
An didn't know what she was thinking, but she knew that Ji Yanning had always been a measured person, as long as she had promised, most of them would count, but she didn't dwell too much on this matter.
It's only been two days, and the people on this street and nearby are talking about the heavy rain that happened once in decades yesterday, although the heavy rain only lasted for more than a day, but the strong wind caused a lot of losses to the people.
Everyone is telling whether it was who provoked the wrath of heaven to have such a punishment.
Mao Cong got out of the academy and specially sent the people in the house to buy sugar gourds by himself.
He is fourteen years old this year, but he still likes to eat sugar gourds, but if his father sees it, he will probably have to reprimand him again, always saying that it is a gadget that only children or girls like to eat.
"Does the little boy want to buy sugar gourds?" the vendor with a large root of many sugar gourds saw Mao Cong and asked with a smile.
Mao Cong nodded and said, "Come two." ”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of broken silver.
The merchant quickly took two sugar gourds and gave them to him, and took the broken silver.
Mao Cong's eyes stared straight at the vendor, and said, "Looking for money, aren't you looking for me for two cents?"
The vendor glanced at Mao Cong's dress as a wealthy son, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then found two cents for him.
I didn't expect this little boy to be so stingy, which made him a little surprised.
Mao Cong snorted lightly and said, "Two pennies are also money." ”
He said that he followed his sugar gourd and turned to leave, leaving only the vendor who originally thought that he would earn an extra two pennies couldn't help but sigh softly, are the sons of the family in Chang'an City already so frugal?
Mao Cong ignored the dumbfounded eyes of the vendors, he was still very happy to buy the sugar gourd, but as soon as he walked out of the corner, he was stopped.
"Little boy, I see that your Yin Tang is black, if I am not wrong, there will be bad luck for a long time. ”
Ji Yanning stood in front of Mao Cong, looking at Mao Cong who was chewing a sugar gourd with a smile, and it was really the same as Mao Yun when he was a child.
However, Mao Cong listened to Ji Yanning's words, raised his eyes to look at this sister who looked quite good, and had already classified her as a goddess in his heart.
He just answered and said, "Oh. ”
Then he wanted to walk past Ji Yanning's side.
Ji Yanning was not annoyed, but said: "You had a fever seven days ago, and it took two days for the fever to go away, and you have been secretly buying sugar gourds from your father, in fact, your body is not suitable for eating these things." ”
Mao Cong is young, but his body is weaker than others, so the Mao family can only let him take care of it, and he is not allowed to eat some things sold on the street.
When Mao Cong heard Ji Yanning's words, he couldn't help but glance back at Ji Yanning, raised his eyebrows and said, "You still investigate me?"
Ji Yanning shrugged his shoulders and said, "What I said is true, do you dare to bet on it, but in half an hour, you will be unlucky." ”
"Hmph, you still want to deceive me with such a little trick?" Mao Cong said, "My father is the chief eunuch of Qin Tianjian, you have found the wrong person." ”
Without looking back, he turned into the alley.
But before a quarter of an hour, he believed Ji Yanning's words, because he met his father in a corner, who was the main prisoner of Qin Tianjian, Mao Yun.
"You little rabbit, didn't I tell you that you weren't allowed to buy that thing to eat again!" The inscrutable Lord Eunuch, who was still talking to a cabinet minister one moment ago, saw his son holding a sugar gourd in one hand, and instantly became furious.
Roll up your sleeves and plan to catch Mao Cong!
Mao Cong's eyes widened, and he secretly said that he was really unlucky, thinking that he would not be discovered, but how did he know that he would meet him head-on now.
But he only ate a few bites, if he was caught by his father like this, and being beaten was small, but the sugar gourd would not be a big deal.
So when he saw Mao Yun rolling up his sleeves and coming over to grab himself, he didn't say a word, he ran away!
The cabinet minister, who was left standing there, watched in amazement as the chief eunuch ran after his son without regard for his image, and he did not come back to his senses for a moment.
In the end, Mao Cong was young, and he slipped away without a shadow all of a sudden, Mao Yun stood on the street, panting and looking around, unable to find his son.
"This kid, you have to give him a good lecture when you go back!" Mao Yun gritted his teeth.
He is such a son, he is still weak, he is spoiled indecently on weekdays, and now he can't even control him as a father!
Mao Cong kept running, and finally slipped into a small alley, avoiding his father's pursuit.
"Look, am I right?"
A woman's voice suddenly came from behind, and Mao Cong was so frightened that the sugar gourd in his hand almost fell to the ground.
When he looked back, it was Ji Yanning.
"Why are you again?" Mao Cong couldn't help but say, "It's just a coincidence, or maybe you already knew that my father was nearby!"
He didn't believe it.
Although his father was the chief eunuch of Qin Tianjian and what he did was to read the arithmetic of heavenly divination, he didn't believe it very much for himself, so he was also angry with his father.
Ji Yanning glanced at the sugar gourd in his hand and said, "I can let you eat your favorite food unscrupulously in the future." ”
Mao Cong looked at Ji Yanning, although he was not extremely smart, but he was not a gentleman who didn't understand anything.
His father is the chief eunuch of Qintian, and it may be that someone has taken a fancy to this identity.
The matter of Qin Tianjian can be big or small, it is like a useless place on weekdays, but it is also very likely to make a person in a high position fall into the dust all of a sudden.
Mao Cong said: "I don't need it. ”
The imperial doctor couldn't do anything, he didn't believe that the woman in front of him who was about his age could cure his body?
"Don't get in my way. Mao Cong said, "You follow me again, be careful that I let the people of Jingzhao Mansion arrest you, seeing that you don't look bad, why do you specialize in deceiving people?"
Ji Yanning chuckled and said, "You should say this to your father." ”
She and Mao Yun have known each other since childhood, and when they were young, Mao's family lived very close to Ying's family, so she and Mao Yun had a good relationship.
Only later......
Mao Cong didn't want to pay attention to Ji Yanning, since the woman didn't get out of the way, he turned around and left by himself.
But after only two steps, his stomach began to hurt.
The cramps in his abdomen made him feel a little uncomfortable, and the sugar gourd in his hand also fell to the ground.
Ji Yanning stepped forward and stretched out his hand to check his pulse.
"Obviously I have a bad stomach, and I still eat while running, and I have drunk several sips of the wind. Ji Yanning couldn't help but say, and then took out a silver needle and pierced it on his acupoint.
Mao Cong looked at Ji Yanning with wide eyes and asked, "What are you doing here!"
However, the pain in his abdomen couldn't stop Ji Yanning at all.
Ji Yanning said lightly: "Of course I helped you." ”
