Chapter 135: It's raining, what's so difficult
Chen Shaobei brought the troops, and the silver armor on his body had not been replaced.
Stopping the horse in front of Shen Ningning, he took the initiative to step forward: "Little girl Shen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that your tea shed is open today, and he specially asked me to bring someone to support it." β
"He has something to do and can't leave for the time being, but he specially explained that I would bring a cup back to him."
As he spoke, Chen Shaobei took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and put it on the table.
"Look, we are thirty or so people, is this silver enough?"
Shen Ningning smiled sweetly: "It must be enough!" Even if it's not enough, it doesn't matter, just when I invite you to drink~"
After that, she asked Chen Shaobei to step forward and pick the flavor they liked.
Jiang Zhi stood behind the table with her arms crossed, she glanced at Chen Shaobei, and thought that he had said a few good words for herself, so she couldn't help but snort.
Although she doesn't hate him now, she won't forget what he did rashly!
Chen Shaobei's attitude towards Jiang Zhiqi seemed to be accustomed to it.
On his jade-like handsome face, there was a natural expression.
Pointing to three cups: "Ten cups of each of these flavors." β
Jiang Zhi didn't talk nonsense and started doing it immediately.
Chen Shaobei asked politely: "Do you need me to help you?" β
After all, he ordered so much.
Jiang Zhi glanced at him: "No." β
Chen Shaobei pursed his lips, no longer boring himself.
When the sugar water was ready, Chen Shaobei found that there was an extra cup.
"Give more." He said lightly to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi didn't look up at him, but said, "I asked you to drink, and you asked for thirty cups, but there were twenty-nine soldiers you brought, plus the prince wanted to drink, just enough for thirty." β
"You don't have to thank me, we have a grudge and write it off."
Chen Shaobei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, thank you." β
He turned to Shen Ningning and said: "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, there will be a palace banquet at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you, and he will come to pick you up into the palace at that time." β
The little one hesitated.
Before she could speak, Chen Shaobei continued: "Your Highness also ordered, let Old Madam Qin follow. β
Shen Ningning suddenly smiled: "Okay, I remember!" β
Lu Shaoyuan, who was on the side, swallowed the unfinished words.
He also wanted to invite Shen Ningning to his house to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival and admire the moon.
But every time, it seems that the prince is one step behind.
β¦β¦
Shen Ningning planted the land in the fairyland for half a day.
Her clouds had grown so big that each one was as thick as a baby's arm.
Shen Ningning's little hand touched it, and it felt like pinching a ball of wet cotton.
With a gentle pinch, the water is dripping.
She stroked the dark cloud tree and thought longingly: "When the little dark clouds grow up a little more, they can be released to rain!" β
When the time comes, everyone will not have to worry about running out of water to drink.
Shen Ningning was happy when he thought of this, so he hoeed the grass and loosened the soil for the dark cloud tree.
In the end, she took five or six aconitum and planned to go to the capital and exchange it for some silver.
The money from the sale of the aconitum before was almost spent for the tea shed.
As soon as he entered the capital, the carriage stopped suddenly.
Chen Ye turned his head sideways into the curtain and said, "Miss, there is someone in front of you." β
The little one lifted the curtain and looked out.
I saw a seventy-year-old man, dressed in tatters, kneeling on the ground, begging a rich merchant.
Shen Ningning fixed his eyes and saw that the rich businessman was actually Ba Deshun.
His face was full of disdain at this moment, and the old man kowtowed his head and begged him, but he couldn't get him a straight eye.
Instead, he kicked the old man away with some impatience.
"It's really poor and crazy, you pester me again, believe it or not, I'll send you to the government and let you eat a hard meal!" Bard Shun scolded angrily.
Several of the attendants behind him immediately spoke ill of the old man.
The old man kowtowed and bled blood, choking in his mouth: "Master Ba, you are doing well, my granddaughter worked as a maid in your house, and she died for no apparent reason." β
"The people in the coffin shop said that she was insulted before her death and committed suicide!"
Bard frowned: "What, you still want me to find out the real murderer for your short-lived granddaughter?" β
"After your granddaughter died, no one did her work, how much work was delayed for me, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
The old man was startled and frightened.
He asked tremblingly, "What about that...... My granddaughter has been working in the house for half a year, can this salary be repaid to me? β
Ba Deshun sneered: "Still? Go for your dreams! β
He kicked the old man down.
The old man didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly got up and kowtowed.
"That child is a miserable person, her parents died early, and our old couple are all sick, waiting for her salary to cure the illness and save her life."
"Master Ba, please, if you don't give this salary, my granddaughter Jiuquan will not be at ease!"
The people around the onlookers gathered more and more.
Bard couldn't hold back on his face, so he simply came up with a bad move.
"You pariah, you want to scare me with the words of ghosts and gods?"
"If you want me to give you your wages, you can kowtow and beg for this day! If God gives you rain, I will pay you back your wages and pay you double, how about it? β
The old man's face froze.
The people around whispered -
"It's so embarrassing, how long has it been since it rained?"
Chen Ye also couldn't listen to it.
He looked sideways and asked, "Miss, do you need my help?" β
Shen Ningning's face was calm and well-behaved.
She shook her head: "No, we'll just wait here and see, Ba Deshun is bound to spit out this salary today." β
Chen Ye was stunned.
He looked up at the bright sky.
It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is not cool, and the sun is still shining in the sky.
How easy is it to say that it rains? Unless the gods have mercy, but it's just a fantasy.
The little guy behind Bard sneered: "Please! Why don't you ask for it, isn't it just righteous? β
"Hmph, in my opinion, I just want to blackmail our master's silver!"
The old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to kowtow to the sky.
"I beg the rain god to have mercy, and I beg the gods from all walks of life to give me a way to live......"
Bard was stunned for a moment, and then snorted: "What an old madman." β
"Let him knock, let's go!"
Just as he was about to take people away, there was a sudden rumbling thunder in the sky above him.
The rain and wind rose on the ground, and the dark clouds suddenly covered the top.
The people present were stunned.
The weather is still shining brightly, and the clouds are all over here, the thunder is rumbling, and the hearts of the people who are shaking are numb!
Suddenly!
A bean-sized raindrop fell.
Immediately afterward, there was a crackling movement and a heavy rain poured down.
Among the people, some cheered, some were stunned, and some called friends and hurried home to get water.
Cries of joy filled the streets and beyondβ
"It's raining, it's really raining!"
Shen Ningning, who was in the carriage on the side, quietly withdrew his little hand.
She looked at the old man with a smile of ecstasy.
When I turned my head, I found that Ba Deshun actually wanted to run!
"Brother Chen, go hold him down." The little guy's eyes were cold, and he commanded.
Meanwhile.
Wei Fuli.
Wei Shangshu hurriedly rushed to Wei Yufu's room and pulled up his daughter, who was still taking a nap.
"Daughter, here's your chance! It's raining outside, so it's a good time for you to show up! β
As long as the emperor's eyes can see it, the credit for today's rain can be his daughter's.
Wei Yufu looked irritable without waking up: "Dad! I haven't woken up yet! β
"I can sleep at any time, but this rain is in time, if I don't go now, I won't be able to touch such a good time, hurry!" Wei Shangshu grabbed her and walked out.
