The total number of people in An's old mansion is only a dozen.

Everyone followed An Huajin's instructions to go to the kitchen to receive the reward, and after getting the reward, they were all confused.

Qingxi grew up beside Chu Chen since he was a child, and he accompanied him into the palace every once in a while, he was accustomed to observing words and feelings, he looked at everyone's expressions, and he didn't need to ask, he knew that it was a vain question to ask, I'm afraid they didn't know why the little prince sent the reward to the kitchen.

He could only knock on the side of his heart and ask a kitchen lady, "Auntie, what did you do for breakfast today?" ”

The eldest lady said with a smile, "Give the meat buns made to the little county lord of my family, and the wild mushroom stuffed wonton made for Gu Qigongzi." ”

Get! Qingxi understood.

The brain circuits of his little prince are different from ordinary people, and the cause of this incident is estimated to be in these two kinds of food.

He was sent out of the old house by Uncle Sun, and when he said goodbye at the door, Uncle Sun couldn't help asking, "Forgive the old slave for being confused, why did the little prince suddenly send a reward to my kitchen?" ”

Qingxi said indescribably, "My little prince is about to be in a good mood. ”

Uncle Sun laughed, "Thank you little prince, the old slave wishes the little prince a good mood every day." ”

Qingxi also laughed, "The little prince is in a good mood, the old prince is in a good mood, and it is easy for us to wait as slaves." ”

He really didn't dare to say if there would be a second time in the future, and he didn't dare to hope that the little prince would be in a bad mood.

Returning to Prince Shan's Mansion, he happily returned to Chu Chen, "Little Prince, a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver have been rewarded. ”

"Hmm." Chu Chen didn't care much, and said distractedly, "There are a lot of people in the kitchen who work in the old house of the An family." ”

Qingxi was speechless for a moment, "It is said that the little county lord heard that the little prince wanted to reward the kitchen, so he asked the people in the old house of the An family to gather and go to the kitchen. In fact, there were only three people waiting in the kitchen. ”

Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, laughed, and was not a little unhappy, "That little girl has a cheap delivery to the door, so naturally she will not be polite." Did you see her? ”

Qingxi shook his head, "No, it is said that the little county lord is busy." ”

Chu Chen smiled and snorted, "I'm busy talking with Gu Qingyan about the wind and the moon, and when I see a good-looking man, there is no one else in my eyes." Out of breath! ”

Qingxi hung his head.

Chu Chen waved his hand, "Okay, I know, you go down!" ”

Qingxi raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Chen, seeing that he seemed to be in a bad mood again, he didn't dare to speculate, and retreated silently.

Prince Shan's treatment of Chu Chen has always been one hundred and twenty points of heart, and he entered the palace smoothly and met the emperor in the south study.

The emperor knew Prince Shan's temper very well, and when he heard that he was coming, he guessed that something had happened to Chu Chen.

For so many years, his grandson is like a baby pimple in his eyes, he finds him every three or five times, and the reasonable request is sharpened by ten points, and the unreasonable request is grinded by eight points, and the goal must be achieved.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a matter to ask Your Majesty's permission." Prince Shan's voice was loud after bowing his hand.

The emperor put down the recital, "Uncle Wang, please speak." ”

"In spring and summer, it should have rained, but now it has not rained for seven or eight days, and it is the time for irrigation of grass seedlings. Lao Chen implored His Majesty to issue an order for Qin Tianjian to ask for rain. If the drought continues like this, it will be detrimental to agricultural products. Once the irrigation of agricultural crops is not good, it will affect the people's harvest and the livelihood of the world, which is really a big thing. ”

The emperor frowned, "It's only been seven or eight days, and there is no need to let Qin Tianjian Xingshi mobilize people to ask for rain, right?" ”

"I can use it." Prince Shin said resolutely, "When the days are long, it will be too late to ask for rain." Your Majesty thinks about it, in the year of the great drought of the previous dynasty, there was no rain in March, and hundreds of thousands of people had no harvest, and Emperor Jianyuan used the national treasury to relieve the disaster, almost emptying the national treasury. ”

The emperor still shook his head, "There was a great drought in March during the reign of Emperor Jianyuan of the previous dynasty, and now it has just been seven or eight days, and it may rain in two days......"

"What if not?" Prince Good rolled up his sleeves, "Your Majesty, you see, the minister is already sweating after only wearing a single coat, and the heat has come too early this year, and it is really difficult to guarantee that it will not be a year of great drought." Your south study, at this time of year, is still very cool, but this year, ice has been used early, which is unusual, it is a harbinger......"

The emperor glanced at the ice basin on the ground, and then looked out of the window at the high sun, and was said to be moved, "Wait another three or five days, if it doesn't rain, it's not too late." ”

"Your Majesty, it's late, and everything is sooner rather than later. Besides, Qin Tianjian begged for rain, and he had to prepare for a day or two. "Prince Good has made up his mind, and he will let His Majesty make an order if he says anything today, and he doesn't believe that he can't bloom lotus flowers with his three-inch golden tongue.

The emperor put down his pen, "Uncle Wang, you tell me the truth, you are so anxious to ask for rain, what happened in your mansion?" ”

"Nope." Prince Good will not betray his grandson, "It's really the old minister who is worried about state affairs." ”

The emperor snorted and straightened his face, "Uncle Wang! You only go to court once a month on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Don't tell me that you care about state affairs. ”

Prince Shanshan coughed, "Although the old minister has not contributed much to the government, but after all, he is a lot older, and most of the precursors of the year of the great drought are like this, if His Majesty does not believe it, you can ask someone to read the classics, although it is a little early to ask for rain at this time, but I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of what if." Please the rain god, it rains early, and there is no harm. ”

The emperor couldn't ask, and he also knew that Prince Good would not give up, so he simply stopped talking nonsense with him, "Well, what you said also makes sense, I will order someone to check the classics, and then send someone to Qin Tianjian to inquire about one or two." If it is really as Uncle Wang said, I will be sure. ”

Prince Shan immediately said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to send someone, just go to Qintianjian for the old minister." ”

The emperor glanced at him and instructed the people around him, "Okay, Zhang De, you accompany Prince Shan to Qintianjian." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Zhang hurriedly responded and bowed his hand to Prince Shan, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Prince Good nodded, and followed Gonggong Zhang out of the south study.

After Prince Shanshan left, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the ice basin on the ground and the hot weather outside, and suddenly he was a little uncertain, and shouted an order, "You go to find Gu Qingyan, he is involved in hundreds of books, is familiar with astronomy and geography, and is knowledgeable in ancient and modern times. Is this a sign that this year is a year of great drought? ”

"Yes, the minion will go." A little eunuch hurriedly agreed and ran out of the south study.

The little eunuch first went to Gu's house, and when he heard that Gu Qingyan had gone to An's old house, he quickly changed his route to An's house.

Uncle Sun felt that today was really lively, sent this away, ushered in that, he respectfully welcomed the little eunuch who was waiting in the south study into the mansion, and took him to An Huajin's courtyard to see Gu Qingyan.

After Gu Qingyan saw the little eunuch, he pondered for a moment and replied, "In the third year of the Apocalypse, April was very hot, the ice supply was insufficient, and there was a great drought in the right year. In the tenth year of the apocalypse, it was very hot in April, and there was no rain in two months, so they dug cellars to hide the coolness. In the fifth year of Chengkang, it was very hot in April, there was no rain in January, and then suddenly it rained heavily after the month, which lasted for three months, and the world was flooded...... It is still early now, and ancient books record that April was very hot, there was drought and waterlogging, and it is not visible for the time being. ”

The little eunuch nodded and wrote it down attentively.

Gu Qingyan smiled, "Dare to ask the little father-in-law, why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about this year's celestial phenomena?" ”

The little eunuch whispered, "Prince Shan, enter the palace and ask for Qin Tianjian to ask for rain, saying that there is a sign of a great drought this year." ”

Gu Qingyan bowed his head and understood.

The little eunuch said goodbye and left, and Uncle Sun sent the people out in person.

An Huajin had been listening, and after the little eunuch left, she asked Gu Qingyan, "Could it be that Chu Chen is a demon again?" ”

Otherwise, does Prince Shan's idle egg hurt? Concerned about not raining so early? He cares most about his grandson.

Gu Qingyan nodded, "Nine times out of ten!" ”

An Huajin pouted, "It's only been seven or eight days that it hasn't rained, what is Chu Chen doing if he lets it rain?" ”

"Maybe he's in a bad mood."

An Huajin sighed, he was in a bad mood, so he moved the crowd, "He will also be born in the Prince's Mansion!" If he had been in my house and had done this, he would have been strangled to death a long time ago.

Gu Qingyan chuckled.

------Off topic------

In addition to being strangled to death, he will also be beaten to death by a military stick, the old Nanyang King is a person who takes a military stick and picks his eyes on his granddaughter without blinking, so understand O(∩_∩)O~
