The total number of people in Anjia’s old house is only a dozen.
Everyone followed An Huajin's instructions and went to the kitchen to receive the reward. After receiving the reward, they were all confused.
Qingxi grew up next to Chu Chen and accompanied him to the palace every now and then. He was always good at observing people's expressions. When he looked at everyone's expressions, he knew that asking without asking was in vain. I'm afraid they didn't know why they were so young.
The prince sent the reward to the kitchen.
He could only make subtle insinuations and ask a cook in the kitchen, "Madam, what did you do for breakfast today?"
The aunt said with a smile, "I made meat buns for my little princess, and wontons stuffed with wild mushrooms for Mr. Gu Qi."
OK! Qingxi understands.
The brain circuit of his little prince is different from ordinary people, and the cause of this matter is probably due to these two kinds of food.
He was escorted out of the An family's old house by Uncle Sun. When he said goodbye at the door, Uncle Sun couldn't help but ask, "I'm sorry to be confused, but why did the young prince suddenly give me a silver reward for my kitchen?"
Qingxi said with difficulty, "My young prince is probably in a good mood."
Uncle Sun chuckled, "Thank you so much, young prince. I wish you a good mood every day."
Qingxi also laughed, "The young prince is in a good mood, and the old prince is in a good mood, and we, as slaves, can take care of him easily."
He really didn't dare to say whether this would happen again, let alone hope that the young prince would be in a bad mood.
Returning to Prince Shanqin's Mansion, Qingxi reported back to Chu Chen, "My young prince, I have rewarded you with a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver."
"Yeah." Chu Chen didn't care much and said calmly, "There are quite a few people working in the kitchen at An's old house."
The celebration was speechless for a moment, "It is said that the little princess heard that the young prince wanted to reward the kitchen, so she asked everyone in the An family's old house to gather in the kitchen. Except for the housekeeper, Uncle Sun, everyone received the reward and had a share. In fact, the kitchen waiter
There are only three people."
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed without being unhappy at all, "That little girl has a chance to take advantage of her, so she won't be polite. Have you seen her?"
He shook his head happily, "No, it is said that the little princess is busy."
Chu Chen stopped laughing and snorted, "I was busy chatting with Gu Qingyan, and when I saw a good-looking man, there was no one else in my eyes. Promise!"
Hanging your head in joy.
Chu Chen waved his hand, "Okay, I understand, 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 always took Chu Chen's matters seriously. He entered the palace smoothly and met the emperor in the south study room.
The emperor knew Prince Shan's temper very well. When he heard about his arrival, he guessed that something had happened to Chu Chen.
Over the years, his grandson has been like a baby with lumpy eyes. He comes to him every once in a while, asking for ten points for reasonable requests and eight points for unreasonable requests. He must achieve his goal. As an emperor, sometimes
There is nothing we can do about him, Uncle Wang.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your Majesty's permission." The good prince raised his hand in greeting with a loud voice.
The emperor put down the memorial and said, "Uncle Wang, please speak."
"In spring and summer, it should have been rainy, but now it has not rained for seven or eight days. It is the time for irrigation of seedlings and crops. Lao Chen implores His Majesty to issue an order to ask Qin Tianjian to pray for rain. If the drought continues like this, it will be a disaster.
It is not good for crops. Once the irrigation of crops is not good, it will affect people’s harvests and people’s livelihood, which is really a big deal.”
The emperor frowned, "It's only been seven or eight days, so there's no need to ask Qin Tianjian to raise troops to pray for rain, right?"
"It will come in handy." Prince Shan said resolutely. "As time goes by, it will be too late to ask for rain. Your Majesty, think about it. During the severe drought in the previous dynasty, there was no rain in March, and hundreds of thousands of people had no harvest.
, Emperor Jianyuan used the treasury to provide disaster relief and almost emptied the treasury. There was a severe drought for one year and the national destiny was stagnant for ten years. How terrible."
The emperor still shook his head, "There was a severe drought in March during the reign of Emperor Jianyuan of the previous dynasty. Now it's just the seventh or eighth day. Maybe it will rain in less than two days..."
"What if it's not?" Prince Shan rolled up his sleeves, "Your Majesty, look, I'm already soaked with sweat even though I'm only wearing a single layer of clothing. The heat has come too early this year. It's really hard to guarantee whether it's going to be a year of severe drought. You're like this
South Study, at this time every year, is still very cool, but this year, ice has been used early. This is unusual and is a sign..."
The emperor glanced at the ice basin on the ground, and then looked out at the high sun through the window. He was a little moved and said, "Wait for another three to five days. If it doesn't rain, it's not too late to ask for help."
”
"Your Majesty, it's late. Everything should be done sooner rather than later. Besides, Qin Tianjian is asking for rain, so we have to prepare for a day or two." Prince Shan made up his mind to ask His Majesty to issue an order for anything he said today. He didn't believe that he could rely on his three inches.
A golden tongue cannot bloom a lotus.
The emperor put down his pen and said, "Uncle Wang, tell me the truth. You are so anxious to ask for rain. What happened in your house?"
"No." Prince Shan would not betray his grandson. "It is really the old minister who is worried about state affairs."
The emperor snorted and made a serious face, "Uncle Wang! You only go to court once every month on the 15th day of the lunar month. Don't tell me that you care about state affairs."
Prince Shan coughed and said, "Although the veteran has not contributed much to the government, he is still very old. Most of the signs of drought years are like this. If your Majesty does not believe it, you can ask someone to read the classics. Although it is a bit early to pray for rain at this time."
, but don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. Invite the rain god and it will rain early, which will bring you all the benefits and no harm.”
The emperor couldn't answer the question, and he also knew that the good prince would not give up, so he simply stopped talking nonsense with him, "Well, what you said makes sense. I will order people to check the classics, and then send people to the Qintian Prison to ask something. If
It’s just as Uncle Wang said, I’m sure.”
Prince Shan immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to send anyone. I can just go to Qintian Prison."
The emperor glanced at him and told the people around him, "Okay, Zhang De, you accompany Prince Shan to Qin Tian Prison."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Zhang responded quickly and handed over to Prince Shan, "Your Majesty, please!"
Prince Shan nodded and followed Eunuch Zhang out of the south study room.
After Prince Shan left, the emperor rubbed his brows and looked at the ice basin on the ground and the scorching hot weather outside. Suddenly he was a little unsure and called someone to tell him, "Go find Gu Qingyan. He has dabbled in Baijia Series."
, who is well versed in astronomy and geography, and knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, ask him for me, this year has not really entered summer yet, and it has been dry and hot too early. Is there any unusual evidence in ancient records? Does this mean that this year is a sign of a severe drought? " "Yes, I will go right away." A young eunuch agreed quickly and ran out of the south study room.
The young eunuch first went to the Gu family. When he heard that Gu Qingyan had gone to the An family's old house, he quickly transferred to the An family.
Uncle Sun felt that today was really lively, so he sent away one person and welcomed another. He respectfully welcomed the young eunuch serving in the south study into the mansion and took him to An Huajin's courtyard to meet Gu Qingyan.<
/p>
After Gu Qingyan met the young eunuch, he thought about it for a moment and replied, "In the third year of the Apocalypse, April was very hot and the ice supply was insufficient, so there was a severe drought. In the tenth year of the Apocalypse, April was very hot and there was no rain for two months, so people dug cellars to shelter them.
Liang. In the fifth year of Chengkang, April was very hot, and there was no rainfall in January. After the month, there was a sudden heavy rain, which lasted for three months, and the world was flooded... It is still early, and ancient books record that April was extremely hot, and there were droughts and floods, but we can’t tell yet.
."
The little eunuch nodded and wrote it down carefully.
Gu Qingyan smiled, "May I ask my little father-in-law, why did your Majesty suddenly ask about this year's celestial phenomena?"
The young eunuch whispered, "Prince Shan came to the palace and asked the imperial eunuch to pray for rain, saying that there is a sign of severe drought this year."
Gu Qingyan nodded, understanding.
The young eunuch said goodbye and left, and Uncle Sun sent him out in person.
An Huajin had been listening on the sidelines. After the little eunuch left, she asked Gu Qingyan, "Could it be that Chu Chen has become a monster again?"
Otherwise, would Prince Shan’s balls hurt? So early on, he was concerned about whether it would rain or not? What he cared about most was his grandson.
Gu Qingyan nodded, "Nine times out of ten!"
An Huajin curled his lips, "It's only been seven or eight days since it rained. Why did Chu Chen have to let it rain?"
"Maybe he's in a bad mood."
An Huajin clicked his tongue, and he was in a bad mood, so he started to stir up trouble, "He should be reborn in Prince Shanqin's house! If he were reborn in my house, he would have been strangled to death long ago.
