Chapter 216 Crazy Monk
The ladies all looked at Gu Nanxi, and even Su Xuanming and others who had received the letter ran over.
"Auntie, why don't I come out and have a look?"
Gu Nanxi didn't want to go out either, but when she thought of the Huoxiang Zhengqi water formula that the old man gave her last time, she suddenly Feeling a little excited again.
I have been traveling through books for so long, and I have never enjoyed the benefits of being a book traveler. The loving mother system that I carry with me is a hindrance. Could it be that I have to change it at some time?
"Let's take a look together." Gu Nanxi led the ladies, followed by ten young men, out of the door.
The silvery moonlight pours on the entrance of Yongchang Marquis Mansion, illuminating the figures clearly.
In the silence, a slovenly old monk sat cross-legged in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, facing the gate of the Hou Mansion.
The old monk was disheveled, his clothes were made of linen, and he was still mumbling something. He seemed to be a little crazy.
Su Xuanming quickly took two steps forward and blocked Gu Nanxi's body.
As everyone got closer, the old monk's words vaguely reached everyone's ears.
“The humble room was empty, the bed was full of fluorene, the grass and poplars were withered, it was once a singing and dancing venue, the pillars were covered with spider silk, and the green gauze is now stuck on the windows.”
"The box is full of gold, and the box is full of silver. In a blink of an eye, beggars are slandered by everyone, and they are sighing at others. If you don’t live long, you will be mourned when you return!”
“If you train well, you will never be able to make a bridge in the future. Who can hope to live in Firework Alley?”
Listen to the monk’s words clearly. The faces of all the ladies instantly became ugly.
On this happy day, the old monk's words were like a curse, causing trouble in everyone's hearts.
Mrs. Chen had finally waited for the day when her son would be successful. She was feeling proud when she met such a dejected man, blocking the door of the Hou Mansion. She could not control her temper and wanted to drive the old monk away. go out.
"You old monk, how can you wish someone such a happy birthday? Go away quickly and don't block the way!"
The old monk lowered his eyes and held a hand in his hand. Stringing Buddhist beads, still mumbling: "I will appear on the stage after you sing in a chaotic manner, and you will think that this foreign country is your hometown."
Gu Nanxi's heart felt like being hit with a heavy hammer. Although the old monk's words sounded ominous, they were consistent with the original book. The plot trend in the movie is consistent.
Will this magnificent Hou Mansion become a failure in the future?
Didn’t the gentlemen of the Su family who grew up in Jinxiudui all die?
As a stranger in a foreign land, don’t you also regard this place as your hometown?
Gu Nanxi stopped Mrs. Chen with a strong smile, her heart pounding: "Mrs. Chen, don't be anxious, let's first listen to what this old monk wants to say."
Of course Mrs. Chen didn't He would violate his master's wishes, speak threateningly, and stare at the old monk fiercely: "Everyone says that family members should not tell lies, so please don't tell lies, old monk!"
The old monk ignored Mrs. Chen and all the gentlemen and gentlemen behind him who were glaring at him.
He first used the moonlight to look at Gu Nanxi, the rumored backbone of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Gu Nanxi’s back is straight, her eyes are clear, and her face is like a peach blossom. But compared to their fairy-like appearance, what attracts the most attention is their demeanor, as steady as a mountain, and rebuking Give some pointers to Fang Qiu.
The old monk and Gu Nanxi looked at each other. After a long time, the old monk took out a small clay pot from his bamboo pocket.
The old monk stood up, holding the clay pot, and walked tremblingly to Gu Nanxi: "I wish Madam Hou to live as long as the sky and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon."
< br>
Su Xuanming and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this old monk still has some skills. If he dares to speak arrogantly in front of my mother, I will beat him out!
Lu Mei wanted to take the earthen jar from the old monk's hand, but the old monk dodged it.
Gu Nanxi understood that the old monk wanted to take it over with his own hands.
“Master, this earthen jar still needs to be cleaned up.” Green Eyebrow looked at the dirty earthen jar, and his scalp felt numb.
My master loves cleanliness the most and must bathe every day. How can he stand this filth?
Gu Nanxi took a long breath, glanced at Lu Mei reassuringly, and then stretched out her hand to take the jar. "Lvmei!"
Lvmei is indeed Gu Nanxi's right-hand man. Hearing the words, he understood the elegant meaning and hurriedly took out a hundred-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it to her with both hands. Old monk.
The old monk waved his hand: "Not enough!"
Lu Mei was furious. Did the old monk really think that his master's money was blown by the strong wind? One hundred taels for a broken clay pot is not enough!
But Lu Mei also knew that she couldn't make a fuss at the door because it would lose the face of the Hou Mansion, so she took out another banknote.
The old monk still waved his hands, but turned his face to the side and never looked at Lu Mei again.
Lu Mei’s chest heaved with anger, and even Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Li and Madam Song showed dissatisfaction on their faces.
I thought it was an old monk who came to beat the autumn wind, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be a greedy rogue!
Gu Nanxi glanced at the old monk and saw that although his clothes were shabby and his face was stained on the left and right, his eyes were bright, clear and wise.
Gu Nanxi's heart moved. She opened the small clay pot and saw layers of linen on the inner wall of the pot, and wrapped in the linen were golden seeds.
"This is..." Gu Nanxi was horrified!
These are clearly corn seeds!
Corn originated in Mexico, and later spread throughout the American continent. It was not introduced to China until the Ming Dynasty.
In just a hundred years, corn has become one of the three staple foods in China!
Corn cultivation does not care about the environment or land, and the yield is high. One acre can yield dozens of stones. It has many uses. It can be used as staple food, can be made into sugar, and can also be used to feed livestock.
During the Ming Dynasty, corn had already been played with flowers. It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty had bad luck and caught up with the Little Ice Age. Natural disasters continued. The most serious area in Shaanxi Province had no time to plant corn.
But in this world, the Zhou Dynasty had all the time and energy to promote the cultivation of corn!
The previous dynasty had a strong national power, but the per capita grain possession did not catch up until the 1980s.
Even the wealthy Zhou Dynasty was far behind the previous dynasty in terms of per capita grain possession!
Thinking of this, Gu Nanxi carefully covered the small clay pot, handed it to Su Xuanming, and carefully warned: "Watch carefully, not a single particle is missing!"
Gu Nan Xi motioned to Lu Mei to get the money clip from her bedroom, and then stuffed it into the old monk's arms.
"I don't know how much money there is in this box, but I guess it's three thousand taels! You can use it first. If it's not enough, come back to me."
"Master!"
"Aniang!"
"Godmother!"
"Mrs. Hou!"
Everyone was stunned by Gu Nanxi's reaction.
Not to mention the box full of banknotes, just that promise, isn’t it enough? !
Even if there is gold in this clay pot, it's still not worth the price!
Gu Nanxi didn't have time to explain to everyone, and looked at the old monk with a piercing look: "Can you tell me, where do these seeds come from? Do you have any more? I can give you money. You change!”
