Chapter 292 Chen Zhiling
Su He looked at the giant hailstones that could knock people unconscious and began to worry about his family. He wondered if there was hail in the village. Miaomiao and Mu Tou should be asleep by now, so they would be fine in the house. However, the sweet potatoes in the field might be in trouble.
At this moment, her heart has already flown far away.
"Xiaobai, let's go home as soon as possible, or should we set off now?"
Liu Bai frowned and thought for a while, then rejected Su He's proposal.
"We don't know how long this hailstorm will last. We can't leave tonight. Let's go to the Zhao residence tomorrow morning. Aren't you going to entrust the shop to Lord Zhao? After we're done, ask about the situation. If there's no problem, we can leave."
Su He thought about it and felt that it was right, so he agreed without hesitation.
So the two of them concentrated on waiting for the hail to stop.
Mu Tou had just laid down to rest, but he habitually reviewed the lessons he had memorized recently before going to bed, so he was still awake when the hail came.
Hearing the banging noises outside, Mu Tou sat up suddenly. He subconsciously thought that a thief had come in.
The next second, Wang Bin was heard shouting, "Mu Tou, ice is falling from the sky, don't come out."
"understood."
When Mu Tou heard this, he was relieved. He thought it was good that he was not a thief.
He opened the door a crack and looked out. It was too dark to see clearly, but he could vaguely sense that the ground was a mess.
After watching for a while, he felt bored, so he closed the door and went to sleep.
Before going to bed, I was still thinking that I might as well take a leave tomorrow to go home to see my sister. My sister has told me to take good care of my sister.
Mu Tou thought that his sister had been gone for half a month and missed her very much. He thought that she should be back in another half a month.
The people in Tianyuan Village were all lying on the kang at this time. When they saw hail falling from the sky, their subconscious reaction was that the seedlings that had just grown in the fields would be in trouble.
Everyone couldn’t sleep, even Miaomiao was heartbroken about the sweet potato seedlings in the field.
"Why don't we hold up an umbrella and go to the fields to protect the seedlings. We'll save as many as we can. The only sweet potatoes left in our village are those in the fields. I promised my sister that I would take good care of them."
Miaomiao was very heartbroken. In order to make the sweet potatoes grow healthily, she dug a lot of earthworms, as well as pig manure and chicken manure. Since her sister passed away, she has to check on them every day.
They are all dead now for sure.
Miaomiao was crying sadly, and Jiaojiao stood on tiptoe to wipe the tears of her beloved sister.
"Don't cry, Huhu."
Su He here finally waited for the hail to stop after eating three candied haws, two maltose sticks, four mung bean cakes and two cloud cakes.
The two of them ran quickly towards the inn where they were staying. Opposite them was a team of garrison soldiers in official uniforms. Looking at the direction they were running, it was the street where the night market was.
Su He couldn't help but sigh that Dayong seemed to be more humane than she had imagined.
When the two arrived at the inn, Liu Bai asked Su He to go inside and wait first, while he went to the stable to place the mule.
Su He insisted on waiting for Liu Bai on the first floor with two boxes of food. The first floor was full of people, all of whom were scared by the terrible weather.
"I said, God must have been unable to bear it any longer."
"What do you mean? Brother, do you know something about this? Can you tell me something?"
"I guess they are just dissatisfied with our superiors. Those nobles are obsessed with beauty all day long. Last month, someone spent several thousand taels of silver to buy a skinny horse. Some of them spend all day walking birds and racing horses. What contribution have they made to Dayong? If they were not born with good fortune, they would not be much more successful than us."
Su He looked at the man who was speaking in shock. He looked like a student in his clothes, but the words he spoke were even harsher than those of the censor.
How can these people be so bold as to say such things so casually?
"Who says it's not true? If you ask me, our emperor is really pitiful. He is both civil and military, and has a first-rate appearance, but the children he gave birth to are all ugly. They don't look like his biological children."
"Oh, don't talk nonsense. We ordinary people can't say these things. I heard that another concubine in the emperor's harem is pregnant. Maybe there will be some good news."
Is this something she can hear?
Su He carried the box upstairs, as it was not advisable to stay here for long.
Liu Bai came soon. Su He gave some food to Liu Bai and kept the rest for herself.
After lying back on her little bed, Su He finally breathed a sigh of relief. After asking the waiter to bring her some hot water, she had no plans to go out again.
I washed up in the room as usual and went back to bed to sleep.
She slept uneasily that night. She kept being hit by hail in her dreams and finally woke up in pain.
After waking up for the fourth time, Su He simply didn't want to sleep anymore. He went into the space to sort out the pepper flowers and look at the information to make wine yeast.
You can use it directly when you return to Guangyuan.
Su He had been busy for two hours and began to feel tired, so he fell asleep again. This time he slept soundly and slept until noon.
Su He stared at the bright sunny day outside in a daze. The hail had stopped.
A quarter of an hour later, Su He packed up his things and went out to find Liu Bai.
"The hail has been falling all night. I didn't call you in the morning because the road was so messy that we couldn't go out even if we wanted to."
Su He frowned, the first thing he thought of was food. No one could go out at this moment, no one was setting up stalls outside, and the shops were not open. They were not stupid, and no one would be willing to risk being knocked unconscious to buy things, so the whole capital was very quiet.
"It's okay. Fortunately, we still have some food. By the way, let's order the food from the inn first and put ours away first."
Su He was very cautious. Although she had space, Liu Bai did not, so she still had to be frugal.
Fortunately, the hail came at night and most people stayed at home, so not many people were injured. In addition, there are plenty of vegetables and fruits in spring and every household has some in stock, so this time we got through it safely.
Royal Palace
Chen Dou was currently sitting next to his own mother, listening to her lecture.
"I've long said that children should not be spoiled. Look at what you have raised. None of them are capable. What's the point of your ability? How many more years can you last?"
Chen Dou, who was praised by the ministers yesterday as being in his prime, dared not say a word and continued to be scolded in embarrassment.
"Look, it's hailing now. I don't even need to listen to what people outside say. They will definitely scold you for having such ugly sons. What's the point of having so many? It's better to have Ayuan and Ashi as your only child, which saves you a lot of trouble and effort. Even if you have eight children, they are not as good as him with just one."
Chen Dou closed his eyes in pain. He was not heartbroken, but worried about his ears.
"Do you know why? Your concubines are always poisoning each other and stabbing each other. Every day, they are pregnant and thinking about vicious things. What good things can come out of it?"
"You are the only one your mother gave birth to. When I was pregnant with you, I was in an extremely good mood. I didn't care whether these people got another golden hairpin from your father or got a few more days of favor. As long as they don't provoke me, I will just ignore them. How can it bring honor to the family for dozens of people to fight for an old man?"
"Look, you grew up well and became an emperor."
Chen Dou reminded him expressionlessly, "Mom, it was you who raised me as a girl when I was a child, and told everyone that I was a fool, so no one paid attention to me. I was able to succeed to the throne because of my hard work and study."
Chen Zhiling curled her lips and rolled her eyes at her son.
"If you weren't a fool, how could you survive? Your uncle and your grandfather aren't smart, how could I protect you and let you survive if I didn't show weakness? Look, you've grown wings, and now you don't even listen to me."
"When my little one was born, I told him to teach him well. But you didn't listen to me and spoiled him. Well, apart from looking like you, I can't find any other advantages. Let's see what you will do in the future!"
"Who will take over Dayong in the future? Of your eight sons, the most decent one is the eighth one. He is a little silly, but he is obedient. If he succeeds to the throne and finds some loyal ministers, he can keep the throne for a few more years. As for the others, I bet they won't last more than half a year."
How could Chen Dou possibly like to hear this? No matter how bad his son was, he was his own son.
"Mom, they are your grandchildren after all, why are you so mean?"
