Chapter 165 Wang's Prayer for Rain
Yunhao was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward and interrupt.
Wang, who was pressed in the cell, raised her head and looked at Jiu'er. She understood the overall situation at such a young age. She was indeed her precious granddaughter.
Master Wang blew his beard and glared angrily at first. After hearing this pair of discussions, his face turned from blue to white.
He looked the little girl up and down again.
"Go on." Mr. Wang gritted his teeth. This old woman was teasing him. If he let this old thing go easily, how would he lose his face?
Ah Jiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and glanced at grandma, her father and mother's life depended on grandma's rain.
"If we ask for nectar from heaven and grass to grow on the ground, even if the people of Nanzhou County eat grass, they will definitely not eat the flesh of dead people.
In this way, the plague can naturally stop the spread of the disease, and the Nanming City feudal lords will not have to spend huge sums of money to transport water from Lingnan.
If Mr. Wang promises the Wang family to pray for rain, it will be a meritorious deed. In front of the feudal king, he will be promoted, rewarded, and promoted to a noble title. This is beneficial and harmless whether it is for the people, the army, or yourself.
"
"You are sharp-tongued and speak clearly. Little girl, I am not taking it easy when I see you, so I will ask you."
Mr. Wang thought about it carefully, and this girl analyzed it very comprehensively, with almost no omissions:
"If this old woman can't invite the rain, what should I do?"
Ah Jiu took a deep breath and secretly glanced at Ah Nai.
In fact, it was grandma who was asking for rain. She was not sure whether it would come, and she suddenly felt guilty:
"If you can't pray for rain, it will be beneficial and harmless to Mr. Wang according to the punishment."
Ah Jiu's hands were shaking when she said this. Whatever she said, she had to help Ah Nai get a chance to pray for rain before she knew whether it would work.
"That's good, I'll follow you, but I want to add one more thing. If the weather doesn't go well, you will also have to be punished."
Mr. Wang is calm and calm. As the girl said, he is beneficial and harmless, but if you dare to act recklessly in front of him, you will have to pay the price.
Otherwise, how can we convince the public in the future?
Ah Jiu trembled, gritted her teeth and stood firm: "A civilian girl is willing to be punished."
"Okay." Master Wang gave the order and asked people to rearrange the altar.
He also ordered people to escort Ah Jiu to the backyard of the government office, so that she could see with her own eyes whether the rain would stop or not.
Mr. Wang was sitting in the pavilion and sipping a few cups of tea.
The government officials who escorted Wang and others gathered in the courtyard. This time they did not communicate with the people in the city, lest they all crowd out of the government office later.
What's more, if it hadn't rained, his Lord Wang's reputation would not have been disgraced for the second time.
"Sister Ah Jiu, can your grandma really ask for rain?" Yunhao took away the job of escorting her Ah Jiu.
Those thin arms and legs were so pressed that I was afraid that others would break them.
Ah Jiu didn't answer because she didn't know it herself.
He watched Ah Nai take a bath and change clothes, wearing a yellow robe embroidered with various black horizontal stripes.
The offering table has been prepared, with tributes placed on it and an incense burner.
Mrs. Wang looked at a Bagua plate on the table and stood motionless, looking at the sky from time to time.
As if waiting for something.
Grandma, please ask for the rain to come. This time, even my granddaughter and I got involved. If something happens again, no one will be running around to save us.
"Master, I'm asking for rain today. Please give me a helping hand."
Wang first burned three sticks of incense, and then picked up the wooden sword on the yellow cloth stand.
He put his fingers together, closed his eyes slightly, and then muttered something about the command of Thunder God and Lightning Mother Xunfeng Wanli, but Ah Jiu couldn't understand the reason.
"This old woman said it the same way last time." Mr. Wang in the pavilion poured a cup of tea, calm and relaxed, as if he was waiting to see a joke.
"Master Wang, can it be done or not?" the attendant beside him asked in a low voice.
“You’ll know it just by looking at it.”
Ah Jiu withdrew her eyes and stared at grandma, but she must do it.
At this time, Yun Jie jogged in from outside the government office and entered the pavilion: "Sir, Li Dachang wants to see you."
"What is he here for?" Mr. Wang wished that as few people knew about it as possible, so as not to lose face.
But think about it, this old guy gave you five hundred taels of gold all at once, and he said, "Let him come in."
