The two of them were at war with each other and were about to explode.
Si Hua has a complete set of moves. Chen Jinchu has strong internal strength and flexible body. Although he does not have fixed martial arts moves, he is still on a par with Si Hua.
"Stop!" With a low voice, Si Hua's hand was grabbed. Chen Jinchu took advantage of him being grabbed and slapped him.
Si Hua was beaten, and Tiaojiao cursed: "You stinky girl, you unexpectedly attacked me!"
There were already five bright red fingerprints on his face.
The person who came was none other than the secretary.
The secretary glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "Nonsense, the master is here! There is internal strife. Are you waiting for the master to expose you?"
When Si Hua saw Ye Fusu, he hurriedly bowed down, and Chen Jinchu also bowed deeply.
"A batch of supplies has arrived. You come with me to supervise the local government's distribution of grain. There are other things, and the master ordered us to do it cheaply," Secretary Shu said.
Chen Jinchu said: "Yes."
No matter how reluctant Si Hua was, he would never dare to disobey Ye Fusu's order, so he hurriedly said: "Yes."
Chen Jinchu ran to Ye Fusu without saying anything. He looked at him with joy and expectation in his eyes, and finally said: "The Imperial Master is really a good person."
Ye Fusu snorted, "Are you a good person?"
This word is too far away from him. This is the first time he has received a good guy card.
Chen Jinchu divided the work with the Secretary, one was responsible for counting, and the other was responsible for supervising the government's distribution.
The secretary said: "We are only here temporarily to provide support. The master's memorial has been sent to the palace. Someone will be sent here soon. We just need help."
Chen Jinchu said: "With the Imperial Master sitting in charge, why do others need to come and comment?"
Secretary Shu smiled and said, "What you said makes sense."
Chen Jinchu said: "The most important thing is that there is a water source. The imperial court should send some geological experts to explore the water source and then drill wells." Without a water source, it would be difficult for these people to survive even with food.
Secretary Shu said: "Well, this is also very important. We will ask the master for instructions tonight."
The two of them had a tacit understanding. They traveled to many places and government offices throughout the day and did not even bother to eat. They only ate three beef sesame cakes and drank a bowl of beef soup for lunch.
"You have a good tolerance and a good appetite." Si Shu said with a smile.
Chen Jinchu said in his heart that it must be possible. Before Chuan Shuqian, he was a legal migrant worker. He had to use his brain and physical strength, so his endurance was naturally not as good.
Because Si Hua had a problem with Chen Jinchu, he acted alone and led people to rectify the local gangsters who were dominating the well. He was angry and vented his anger on those people. Before the soldiers could take action, he went up and beat them up.
After a busy day, Chen Jinchu didn't take a shower. He jumped on the bed with the intention of taking a rest, but ended up falling into a deep sleep. Ye Fusu came by and saw that she was sleeping soundly. He sat in the room for a while and read what Chen Jinchu had written on his desk.
's Notes.
She also drew a diagram of drilling a well, with several sets of data marked on it with a small pen.
Although Chen Jinchu was tired, she also felt something abnormal in her sleep. Just as she was about to wake up, Ye Fusu waved her hand and she fell asleep again.
Of course, Chen Jinchu didn't know this. If he did, he would feel that he was Chen Jinchu.
Chen Jinchu was busy for several days, traveling back and forth between Jian'an, Yunlai and Yuzhou every day. He lost weight visibly and returned to the house dirty every day.
She also thought that she would discuss with Ye Fusu and organize some government officials and ordinary people to renovate the artificial canals, and finally extend them to the moat, so that they could be connected in the future to guide water sources from other places.
She was lying carelessly on a chair, munching red dates. Ye Fusu came in and saw her gray hair and messy hair. Her moon-white men's robe was already gray and the original color could not be seen.
"Your duty is to serve me. You are putting the cart before the horse. Have you lived enough?" Ye Fusu said coldly.
Chen Jinchu stood up and said: "Oh, but I am not the slave of the imperial master..." At most, I am just a bed | companion.
Ye Fusu said coldly: "You have gained my two powers, I don't mind taking it back."
Okay, I’m scared!
"I am happy to be clean. Go and wash yourself."
Chen Jinchu thought to himself, I also like to be clean. Is there not enough water? Every day, the water is used for cooking or bathing, and there is still water left for making tea for you. Who dares to use it?
Ye Fusu frowned, Chen Jinchu ran as fast as a rabbit.
I took a hot bath and felt so happy.
"Let me try to see if this tea is hot or not?" Ye Fusu said with an expressionless face.
Chen Jin tasted it for the first time. It was a fine tongue, sweet and fragrant.
"The water temperature is just right." Chen Jinchu said with a smile.
Ye Fusu took a sip and said, "It's cold, but you said it's just right? Drink it yourself."
Chen Jinchu continued to drink Queton, the water temperature was just right and the aroma of tea was coming out.
Ye Fusu raised his head: "Does it taste good?"
Chen Jinchu nodded: "It tastes good. Did the Imperial Master invite me to tea specifically?"
Ye Fusu was exposed, his face felt a little uncomfortable, and he said coldly: "Get out."
Chen Jinchu curled her lips, but she was very adaptable to Ye Fusu's moody personality. It was rare that she didn't have to endure the low-pressure mode around him, so she was naturally happy to leave.
"You have drank all this tea. I have a mysophobia, take it away!" Ye Fusu said.
Oh, why didn't you say you were mysophobic when we were kissing?
In the evening, there were several big dishes on the table, as well as Chen Jinchu's favorite braised beef and garlic pork ribs. Ye Fusu had always eaten less, so these things were cheaper for her.
This body was young after all. After a good meal and a good sleep, it was back to its normal state the next day.
Someone here reported Chen Jinchu's whereabouts to Ye Fusu: She spent some money to find a few storytellers to praise the National Master's merits in disaster relief. When rescuing victims, she always stated that she was assigned by the National Master.
"My servant heard her talking to Master Secretary, the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. Since the Imperial Master has done good things, he must leave his name behind." The man said.
Ye Fusu said coldly: "She really said that."
"I'm a little far away, so I vaguely heard this. I need to verify the details with Master Secretary."
"Has she become very close to Secretary Shu recently?"
The man's question was clearly heard, but he didn't understand what Ye Fusu meant.
Ye Fusu said: "Go down, you don't have to follow me recently."
After Chen Jinchu's propaganda, the people in the three prefectures and cities all knew that the national master personally led people to provide disaster relief. Because Ye Fusu was personally in charge, the local officials did not dare to neglect. If there were some individuals who were harboring traitors, Ye Fusu had already ordered them to behead first and then report them as a warning.
.
"My lord, do you still remember us?" Several gray-haired and ragged people walked through the crowd and walked up to Chen Jinchu.
Chen Jinchu said: "Who are you?"
"You said that if you come to provide disaster relief and we find you alive, there will be beef for us to eat."
The surviving refugee who was bewitched to intercept and kill Ye Fusu last time actually found this place!
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "Okay! However, I won't give this beef to you for free. You go over there and line up first. After you get the steamed buns, go there. Yes, I'll wait in front of the yard. I'll go find you after I'm done and I'll give it to you.
Give me some work, the kind that pays."
"We don't need wages, as long as we have food to eat." After all, even if you have money, you can't buy food.
Chen Jinchu smiled and said: "Okay, go over and line up."
Chen Jinchu was very busy when there was a commotion in the crowd: "The Imperial Preceptor! The Imperial Preceptor is here!"
"Ah, the Imperial Preceptor! The Imperial Preceptor is here to save us!"
"I didn't expect that the National Master would come to our place!"
Ye Fusu frowned. He had seen a lot of flattery and respect. He had also seen a lot of people who were forced by his aura and were so excited that he could not speak. There was no common people in his eyes, he was a traitor; there were no common people in his heart.
, he is a villain.
He just needs to be strong.
He was sitting in an open carriage, dressed in luxurious clothes, and he was obviously very well-mannered but had a strong aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Chen Jinchu, standing dirty in the crowd, holding a notebook in his hand. His face was dusty, but his eyes were dark and bright, and his broken hair was stuck to his forehead due to sweating.
He waved to Chen Jinchu, who put down his pen and ran over.
"Greetings to the Imperial Master, are you looking for me?" She bowed deeply. It didn't matter if she was "rude" at ordinary times, but she must give this great Buddha face in front of everyone.
Ye Fusu nodded and said, "How many people can you save with this porridge and one meal?"
Chen Jinchu said: "Rescuing each person counts as one person, with such ability. I was thinking today, should I send some refugees to other prefectures that are not in disaster?"
Ye Fusu said: "It's difficult. Land is the most scarce."
Chen Jinchu nodded, then smiled and said, "Why are you here, Master?" He was dressed so gorgeously, so ostentatious!
"I plan to pray for rain in these two days."
Chen Jinchu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Really?"
Ye Fusu gave her a gentle look. Although it was not sharp, it was enough to strike her soul, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, I will make arrangements right now."
"Everyone, please get up and let the Imperial Preceptor go first. The Imperial Preceptor has important matters to attend to. In addition, I want to tell you some good news: The Imperial Preceptor is going to pray for rain!"
Pray for rain?
Everyone immediately started talking to each other and talking about it.
"The Imperial Master is a genius with profound cultivation and can talk to the sky, but praying for rain consumes a lot of energy and energy, and even consumes one's lifespan. The Imperial Master has dedicated his life for the people of our three states without asking for anything in return. We want to thank the Imperial Master."
Master!" Chen Jinchu said loudly.
It's not that she wants to be a sitter for Ye Fusu, but that she trusts Ye Fusu.
Ye Fusu would not do anything that he was not sure of, and Ye Fusu did not bother to seek fame and reputation. Since he took the initiative to tell himself that he wanted to pray for rain, he would definitely pray for rain and be successful.
After hearing this, everyone knelt down and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Imperial Master! Thank you, Imperial Master!"
Ye Fusu felt that Chen Jinchu was very childish, but this feeling was not bad.
Si Hua stood aside and saw the corners of Ye Fusu's mouth raised slightly, feeling incredible in his heart. In the past, Ye Fusu would never have appeared on such an occasion, because these ant people did not deserve to see him.
"Let the kitchen prepare the garlic pork ribs."
Si Hua thought he had heard wrong, but he immediately realized that this was prepared for Chen Jinchu. Ye Fusu had prayed for a vegetarian diet. He had been vegetarian for several days, and his taste had always been light and he would not eat onions and garlic at all.
of food.
It seems that he really has to be more polite to that woman next time.
Chen Jinchu knew that Ye Fusu wanted to pray for rain, so for the first time he was not busy until dark. After having lunch, he assigned tasks to the refugees and the government officials, then hurried back to the house and went to the study to find Ye Fusu excitedly.
Si Hua still stood guard at the door of the study.
When Chen Jinchu saw Si Hua, he turned around and wanted to leave.
But Si Hua shouted from behind: "Master is drawing talisman, you can go in and study ink."
Chen Jinchu turned to look at Si Hua, oh, this damn boy is not trying to embarrass me anymore, or is he trying to plot against me?
She tiptoed to the door of the study, and was hesitating whether to go in. Ye Fusu's clear voice came from inside: "Come in."
"It's me, Imperial Master." Chen Jinchu said, she thought Ye Fusu was called Si Hua.
Ye Fusu looked disgusted and said: "You are the one who called me!"
Chen Jinchu entered the door and studied ink diligently.
"Does the Imperial Master really want to pray for rain? So what should we prepare? When will we start praying for rain? How to pray for rain?" Regarding praying for rain, she really has a hundred thousand reasons.
What she wanted to ask most was: "Is it really the metaphysics of praying to heaven for rain, or is it just superstition that fools the people?" Of course, she would not dare to ask such a question directly because a dog's head would save her life.
Ye Fusu was drawing the talisman, which was bright yellow. Chen Jinchu knew that it was for worshiping gods.
"If you don't shut up, I will tap your acupuncture points." Ye Fusu said.
According to Chen Jinchu's idea, such a large-scale rain praying and sacrificial ceremony would take at least ten or eight days to prepare. Unexpectedly, Ye Fusu only took one day to prepare the items for the sacrifice.
Ye Fusu was bathing and burning incense, wearing a snow-white robe, with a touch of bright red between his eyebrows, and disheveled hair. Chen Jinchu could see clearly from a close distance, and the flying raven hair added to his charm and mystery.
In addition to the common people, there were also officials from Jian'an, Yunlai, and Yuzhou cities, city defense troops, and numerous guards from the Imperial Prefecture, all kneeling there in darkness, with a majestic and majestic atmosphere.
It is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather can be described as "autumn and crisp." It is precisely because of the crisp and clear air that the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and there is no sign of rain. Not to mention that it is raining, not even a dark cloud has risen.
Ye Fusu performed a Yu sacrifice, which Chen Jinchu had read in a book. This was a rain-seeking ritual passed down from the Yin and Shang dynasties. The "Li", one of the Six Classics of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, recorded: "The Yu sacrifice is also a sacrifice for floods and droughts, so it has
"Yu Li".
"The Analects of Confucius" also mentions "bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, chanting and returning", including "greeting the gods", "laying silk", "jinzu", "first offering", "sub-presenting", "final offering"
There are steps such as "offering", "thoroughly feasting", "sending off to the gods", "looking at the fire" and "finishing the sacrifice".
When Ye Fusu reached the "first presentation" or "reading blessings", the originally clear blue sky suddenly became thick and dark with clouds, then dark clouds, and then there were strong winds, flying sand and rocks, and hurricanes passing by, making it extremely cold.
Then there was lightning and thunder.
Everyone looked to the sky with joy and shouted: "It's raining, it's going to rain!"
"God has finally opened his eyes, let it rain! Let it rain!"
They kowtow desperately on the ground.
As soon as lightning and thunder appeared, Chen Jinchu felt extremely nervous: "Oops!" The psychological shadow left by Ye Fusu since childhood was not known to be exposed in public.
She looked towards the altar. Ye Fusu was shaking slightly, holding his head in his hands, standing there motionless.
Chen Jinchu hesitated: The feudal superstitions of ancient people were deeply rooted in their bones. Women were never allowed to participate in sacrifices. Women were considered to be yin. If a woman participated, it would be disrespectful to the gods. If she went up, it would be okay to pray for rain. If
It didn't rain in the end, so it must be thought that she destroyed the sacrifice and was going to be beaten to death by these people.
But if she doesn't go up, Ye Fusu may not be able to stay in this state for too long.
