Chapter 40: Lewd Man
Jin held Ruan Ling's hand tightly and told her not to get lost.
Chen Shufeng and Hui Niang hugged the basket and followed closely behind Jin and Ruan Ling.
There are just too many people.
The closer you get to the temple, the more crowded it becomes.
But there were still countless people coming.
The fields are the lifeblood of the people, and if there is no rain in time, there will be no harvest at the end of the year, and the whole family will have to wait for the wind to drink.
It is impossible to count on the imperial court to give money.
The disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court, after being exploited by officials layer by layer, can really fall into the hands of the victims, and it is just a handful of coarse grain with chaff.
Therefore, the people who came to pray for rain came with supreme piety and brought their best offerings.
Ruan Ling looked at so many people and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If these believers had come to believe in her, she would have sent it.
Jin's body was a little weak, and she was already tired after walking this way, so she simply took Ruan Ling and her two daughters-in-law and sat in a tea shop on the side of the road, bought a few bowls of herbal tea, and waited while drinking.
The weather in early summer is enough to dry at noon.
"When will the county lord come?" Ruan Ling fanned the wind with his hand and asked.
"We'll have to wait until the auspicious time to start." Chen Shufeng smiled, "Little sister, don't worry, I brought pumpkin seeds, you can eat some." β
She took out a handful of clean pumpkin seeds from her small bag and put them on the table.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Ruan Lingxiao's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, coupled with chubby cheeks, which is very pleasing.
Chen Shufeng couldn't help but smile.
The feeling of being well-behaved and sensible is so beautiful.
"Little sister, comeβ" Hui Niang brought the peeled pumpkin seeds to her mouth.
Ruan Ling opened his mouth to eat, and said with a smile: "Thank you, second sister-in-law." It's delicious. β
Hui Niang was used to taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, so she peeled them one by one and gave them to eat.
Ruan Ling was drinking herbal tea while enjoying the service of her two sisters-in-law, her eyes looking around.
In fact, she really wanted to go directly to the City God Temple to see which City God it was.
However, there are a lot of people at the moment, and there are still people from the government in the Chenghuang Temple, so she can't rush in.
At this time, Jin pulled the corner of Ruan Ling's clothes and whispered, "Nannan, look over there-"
Ruan Ling looked in the direction she was saying and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, also looking in this direction. The man was short and thin, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a thief's eyebrows.
Even Chen Shufeng frowned when she looked at it: "Mother, whose family is that?" But it's too ugly to look like. β
"What's the use of a man being good-looking?" Jin Shibai glanced at her, "The key depends on whether the person is good or not......"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the man scolding an old lady, and it seemed that the old lady had accidentally bumped into him, and he had the virtue of jumping up and down to eat people.
Ruan Ling knocked on the pumpkin seeds to watch the excitement.
Jin Shi couldn't hold his face a little, and muttered in a low voice: "This aunt is also old and confused, what kind of person is this...... I'm embarrassed to introduce. β
Hui Niang couldn't help but smile and said, "Mother, isn't there another one?" Where? β
"I don't know if I came...... "After the lewd man of the Sun family just now, the Jin family didn't have much hope for the next one, and was a little listless.
At this time, someone spoke behind them: "May I ask if it is the aunt of the Ruan family?" β
Jin looked back and saw a good-looking young man standing in front of him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his face, looking very energetic.
