Chapter 106 Rain
Shanyang Prefecture City.
Among the sounds of silk and bamboo orchestras, the aroma of rouge and gouache is intoxicating.
Yuchun Tower, second floor private seating.
“Autumn is coming, the air is crisp, but unfortunately, there is no rain. It would be great if it rains again in this weather. In this way, it fits the mood, the scene, and the poem.”
Liu Chuanzhi stood up and leaned on the railing, taking in the surrounding scenery.
Immediately, he turned around and looked at the students wearing long gowns at the same table.
After coming to Fucheng these days, through the connections here and the willingness to spend money, Liu Chuanzhi finally got on the line with the Bai family.
Today, we are hosting a banquet for the eldest young master of the Bai family, Bai Xingqiu.
However, at this time, the other party has not come over yet.
"Haha, Brother Liu is very talented in literature. I heard that Brother Liu came from Xiahe County. He sold his family's property and settled in Fucheng. How brave he is."
A person at the dinner table picked up a wine glass and pointed it at Liu Chuanzhi toasted.
This man's name is Zhang Wen, a branch of the Zhang family. He originally didn't come to the banquet today, but when he heard that Bai Xingqiu would come, he came shamelessly.
I heard from others about Liu Chuanzhi's situation, and Liu Chuanzhi's father Liu Juren is very hopeful to become the accounting treasurer accepted by the newly promoted Bai Shoubei.
In this case, it’s time to get closer, and maybe we can do some business in the future.
"Haha, no, no, if it weren't for this damn disaster, it would be difficult to grow crops in the ground, and I really wouldn't be able to make this decision." Liu Chuanzhi said with a smile.
Yes, that's exactly what it is.
Isn’t it good to be a rich country man?
Of course it is much better,
After all, if the official is not big enough here in Fucheng, there will be no chance for a civil servant to go to enclosure.
After all, the places around Fucheng all have names.
However, there is no way. If the disaster continues, those lands will become worthless sooner or later.
"This is true. It will rot in your hands sooner or later. If you can sell it decisively, Brother Liu is decisive!" Zhang Wen said with admiration.
At this moment, a burst of mocking laughter sounded from the side.
The sound was very harsh in this elegant seat.
It made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it. Zhang Wen immediately got up and went to the seat next door:
"Why are you laughing? But you look down on our brothers?"
Liu Chuanzhi also followed. , he came over to see who was laughing at him. On the other hand, it is to prevent Zhang Wen from causing trouble.
To be able to operate such a Chun Tower in this city shows that the backstage background of Yu Chun Tower must be extraordinary.
"Of course I am a ridiculous person. I just sold my family's land? This is really a prodigal. You all claim to be extraordinary. Don't you know that this disaster is about to pass?"< br>
"You're still bragging here, don't you know, maybe it's going to rain outside before you finish bragging."
In the private seat, Yu Hengli ate a chicken drumstick and looked at the two of them with a mouth full of oil. .
Okay, I was depressed all the way.
After returning to Fucheng, he came to the Yuchun Tower to relax and relieve his grievances.
Unexpectedly, I heard a few people next door praise this poem for how well it was written, and that article for how well written it was.
What a bunch of sour and smelly fermented bean curd. The smell is sour and unpleasant.
If that was all, he would not be as knowledgeable as these ordinary people.
But then I heard what these people next door said about selling their fields, how smart they were, what the heck.
Pfft, I won’t sell it sooner or later.
It happened to be sold recently.
Isn’t this a fool!
If we wait two more days, wouldn’t it mean that we have to wait until the disaster is over?
By then, land prices will not be what they are now. Not to mention returning to the past, they will at least increase several times.
Now that I have sold it, I am really at a loss and only have my underpants left. How can I not laugh?
“Rain? If it rains in this weather, I will eat my shoes.”
Zhang Wen was a bit timid, he scratched his neck and said angrily: "But if it doesn't rain, you will get under my crotch."
"Okay, this is what you said, hurry up and buy a pair of shoes now , to save you from going back barefoot later.”
Hui Hengli’s eyes lit up, he looked Zhang Wen up and down, and laughed.
“You”
Zhang Wen suddenly became angry, and his breath was stuck in his throat.
For a moment, I couldn't even say a word.
Pui Hengli didn't even look at Zhang Wen, and turned to look at Liu Chuanzhi: "This friend of yours bet, what about you? Do you want to bet too?"
Liu Chuanzhi was cold. He snorted and said disdainfully: "You're just a fool, but you dare to be so arrogant here."
Liu Chuanzhi was unwilling to gamble. In fact, no matter whether he won or lost, he would not be successful in the end.
Because he is a Wu scholar, the other person looks like a white man.
Gambling with this kind of person will be priceless.
"Oh, I've been taken advantage of anyway. If I don't want to gamble, I won't gamble." Hui Hengli laughed.
Not angry at all. At his level, looking at these two people, it was like an adult looking at a naughty child.
If a child is naughty, just give him a good beating.
I don’t really take it seriously.
After making the bet, Zhang Wen and Liu Chuanzhi returned to their seats.
I am not afraid that the other party will run away. There are so many of them, and there are also their own bookboys and servants outside. If this person really dares to run away.
When the time comes, it won’t be as simple as getting under the crotch.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Xiangjun has a visitor today. I asked Chunhua and Xiahua to play a little song for you."
At this time, the old madam of Yuchunlou Zi smiled and came to the seat where Liu Chuanzhi and others were sitting, and said with an apologetic smile.
Miss Xiangjun came to their Yuchun Tower recently, and she became famous because of her good piano playing.
There is a faint tendency to become the new courtesan of Yuchun Tower, so many young masters are arty and come to Yuchun Tower to see the charm of Miss Xiangjun. Today, these guys spent a lot of money, a hundred taels of silver, to keep Miss Xiangjun for an hour.
But unfortunately, Miss Xiangjun had packed up and was about to play.
Someone cut him off halfway and didn't give him any money, but she didn't dare to refuse the other party's identity.
Therefore, we can only arrange for two other well-known girls from Yuchun Tower to come to this private seat.
"What are you doing, you old lady? We have already paid the silver!" Liu Chuanzhi frowned and suppressed his anger.
When visiting a brothel, anyone would be angry if something like this happened.
This was a slap in the face, and it was hard.
"Haha, don't be angry, young master. Your silver coins will be converted into food money for you. Just think of it as my Yuchunlou's compensation for you." The old bustard said with a smile.
Doing business and being friendly makes money. If something like this happens, it is not impossible to make some compensation.
As long as the meal price goes up a little during the checkout, she may not be compensated.
“That’s pretty much it.”
Liu Chuanzhi saw that the old bustard had given in, so he stopped chasing after him.
Stay polite and graceful. If there is a conflict here, it will not be good for his reputation.
The main person hasn't arrived yet today, so we can't ruin the atmosphere.
~~~~~~
Daliu Shu Village.
Beside the Xia River.
Fang Yue was practicing martial arts by the river bank, using the White Tiger Fist combined with the secret medicine he had just taken.
Between punches, power vibrates within the body.
The blood rushes through the bone marrow, transforming his body.
Every minute and every second, the medulla in the body is being purified and changing.
I don’t know how long it took, but it was almost at the peak of the sky.
The sky suddenly dimmed, and then little raindrops fell.
But when it fell a foot above Fang Yue's head, the raindrops broke apart and turned into a layer of mist, as if they were encountering a fire.
"It rained? Sure enough, the disaster really passed by the end of the month."
Fang Yue felt something strange, stopped his fists and looked at the sky.
It was sunny and cloudless just now, but in just a short moment, the clouds became dense, and it started to rain heavily in an instant.
Even thunderstorms are not so fast.
If this kind of thing had happened in a previous life, the news would have said that unusually strong convective weather occurred in such and such a place.
"So, what secrets are there in this world?"
Fang Yue's eyes seemed to want to penetrate the heavy clouds and look at the high sky.
~~~~~~
“It’s raining!”
"It's really raining!"
The villagers of Daliushu Village, who were farming in the fields, also felt something strange one after another at this time.
The rain falls from the sky and spreads across the earth.
The villagers were stunned at first and froze in place, and then they didn't know who shouted.
Other people also shouted.
For two years, water shortage has caused everyone to live in fear.
What will happen if we run out of rations and still can’t plant crops?
Abandon the fields and become a refugee?
Or should I imitate those mountain bandits?
Many people have thought about these things for more than a moment.
Especially these days, Fang Yue asked them to shovel out grain and plant tea trees.
This crazy behavior made them feel that Fang Yue was not confused.
But they coveted the food provided by Fang Yue and did not want to quit the fields.
So, bite the bullet and plant tea trees.
I thought to myself, it’s like this anyway, if the seeds don’t survive, there’s nothing we can do.
The grain provided by the employer is better than the harvest in their fields.
Unexpectedly, it rained today.
When the rain falls, these tea saplings can survive.
Did the young master know in advance that it was going to rain?
For a while, many villagers couldn't help but have this idea in their minds.
The more I think about it, the more I feel this is the case.
Otherwise, it makes no sense why the young master planted tea trees at this time.
"The young master is a martial arts scholar. It is the stars in the sky descending to earth. It is definitely not something we mortals can guess. Whoever dares to oppose the young master in the future will have trouble with me."
A man in the village The old man, at this time, shouted emotionally towards the surrounding villagers of Big Willow Tree.
"Yes, yes, whoever dares to doubt the young master, I will never forgive him!"
Suddenly other villagers also started shouting.
~~~~~~
At the same time, in various counties of Shanyang Prefecture.
The rain fell, easing the disaster.
In Fucheng, I don’t know if it’s due to the special environment of Fucheng. The rain here finally came belatedly.
"Well, it's raining. Is it raining? Why is it raining?"
Liu Juren was enjoying the cool air in the yard when he heard a sound of clanking tiles.
He opened his eyes and saw huge raindrops hitting the blue brick floor in the yard.
The next moment, I thought of my own land that was being sold at a low price.
Suddenly, the whole person felt like the world was spinning.
