Chapter 981 Lightning Rod (Repair)
"Husband, it's just now that the rainstorm and thunder are constantly roaring. I heard you went to Cuju Field?"
Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying, who rushed back from the Huaxia Money House, were waiting anxiously at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. When he saw Chen Xu coming back from the carriage, he gathered around and pulled Chen Xu up and down to check it carefully. He was relieved when he saw Chen Xu safe and sound.
"I'm worried about my wife. It's just lightning, it won't hurt me at all!" Chen Xu was surrounded by a few women and felt relieved all over, and he began to brag with his eyes open.
"My husband's clothes are soaked. Go back to the room to wash and change clothes so that you won't get cold!" Several women surrounded Chen Xu and headed towards the backyard.
"It's okay, it's okay, this hot summer day, your clothes are almost dry!"
"My husband, don't be careless..."
"How can the clothes be soaked? Husband should take care of his body..."
"Husband, you are the backbone of our family..."
A few women wrapped in Chen Xu and walked into the dormitory in the backyard with a gust of wind. Some people ordered hot water, some people looked for clean clothes, and some people started to take off Chen Xu's clothes. Before they could finish a few words, Chen Xu was stripped into a little aries by several women and maids, and sat on the couch with naked body.
"Puchi~" Looking at Chen Xu's nervous and helpless expression, several women covered their mouths and smiled and brought a few bath towels and soft brocade cloaks to help Chen Xu wrap his body. Feeling the gentle and delicate little hands serving up and down, Chen Xu felt a flame slowly rising from his body, and his hands were not honestly stretched into the dresses of several women and touched and pinched them.
The group of women seemed to have not seen each other, and there was no evasion or dissatisfaction at all.
To them, Chen Xu is not only the husband, but also the head of the family, but also the powerful Shangqing and Zuo Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. There are many concubines and servants in the family of other families, and they don’t know how many lustful things are. They never care about the feelings of concubines. They are even commonplace in the bad mood. However, the marquis of his own family is different. He never forced anyone. Apart from three wife and one concubine, he has hardly touched any woman in the mansion. Even the four close maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter have never been favored. There are only four of them who are favored from beginning to end. This pride and satisfaction cannot be experienced by other wives and concubines of the royal family.
Therefore, for Chen Xu, who was rarely seen, the women even felt a little excited and joyful.
This is what the marquis should do at home.
Now it seems that my husband is beginning to look like a normal marquis.
Soon the hot water was ready, Chen Xu jumped into the bathtub and lay down. Several women rushed up again and began to clean him from top to bottom. Finally, they put on clean clothes and lay on the yard lounge chair. Water gently rubbed his hair gently, Fan Caiying helped him cut his toenails, Ying Shiman helped him cut his fingernails, and four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter brought tea and water, rubbed their legs and arms, and Meng Wan brought him a plate of dried fruit to feed him.
"Well~~, comfortable, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Xu lay on the rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed and felt very comfortable.
"You are tired of official business, and we still hope to serve you like this every day?" Shui Qingrou's delicate cheeks showed a gentle smile.
"Husband, I heard that the thunder and lightning in Cuju are so scary. Have you seen it?" Although Meng Wan has been married to Chen Xu for more than three years, she is still a little luoli. However, now she is a wife for the first time, and her delicate face is more delicate and smooth, and she looks like a more calm and mature woman.
"I was preparing to go to Cuju venue to watch the opening ceremony rehearsal. Thunder and lightning were indeed a bit terrifying. Even the stands on the top floor of Cuju venue were hit by lightning. Fortunately, no one was injured..."
Chen Xu simply said the story of being struck by lightning in Cuju venue just now.
"My husband said that as long as you install those lightning rods, you can avoid being hit by lightning again in Cuju venue?" Ying Shiman asked in surprise.
"Yes, lightning often hits some buildings and trees with higher open spaces. This Cuju field is like a flock of cranes on the south bank of the Wei River. It is naturally easy to cause lightning. When the lightning rod is installed, you can see a very interesting scene when it rains and thunders!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.
"The lightning and thunder in the heavy rain are extremely terrifying. How could my husband say it is interesting?" A group of women stopped their movements, and several pairs of beautiful eyes fell on Chen Xu's face.
"In a few days, the lightning rod will be installed. When there is a thunderstorm again, you will see that all the lightning in the sky will fall on those high lightning rods like being pulled. Even if you stand on the top of the Cuju field, there will be no danger!"
"How could there be no danger? Husband, don't take risks!" Meng Wan's face turned pale in fright, and her hands shook and plates of dried fruits were pressed on Chen Xu's face.
"Cough cough..." Chen Xu hurriedly took off the plate and the dried fruits on his head and face, and hugged Meng Wan in his arms and spanked her a few times. Meng Wan's cheeks were blushing and her eyes were as charming as she lay in his arms and didn't want to get up.
"Husband, Wan Niang is right. Even if there is a way to avoid lightning, don't take risks with yourself!" Shui Qingrou, Ying Shiman and Fan Caiying both spoke worriedly.
"Don't worry, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, how could I do such a thing!" Chen Xu grinned and nodded.
"That's good. My husband is now a noble minister and a left prime minister. There is no need to take any risks in many things!" Several women all breathed a sigh of relief.
While Chen Xu was chatting with a group of beautiful relatives at home and enjoying happiness, the news that Qinghe Hou wanted to install a lightning rod at Cuju Field to prevent the Cuju Field from being hit by lightning again has been rumored in Xianyang. Although most people do not believe that Qinghe Hou can do it, given the identity of Qinghe Hou's immortal disciples, all suspicious people dare not completely deny it. Since ancient times, people have believed that thunder and lightning are the power of gods, and there are gods in the sky. In today's heavy rain, the scene of lightning and lightning in the sky above Cuju Field has terrified millions of people in Xianyang. If Cuju Field really angers the gods, I am afraid that when I go in and watch Cuju, I will be in danger of life. Maybe Thunder God is angry and thunder will be struck down by a huge thunder, and the audience will be killed and injured.
Therefore, all the viewers who purchased the opening ceremony tickets were looking forward to the effect of Qinghehou's lightning rod after installation, and wanted to know if they could truly avoid the lightning strike of the gods.
As the people of Xianyang were uneasy suspicion and waiting, seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye, some enthusiasts would run to Cuju Field to watch without any trouble. Sure enough, they soon discovered that one or two iron rods several meters high were erected in all directions around the top of the stands on the top, southeast, west and northwest. A wire of more than an inch in diameter fell down the outer wall from the top and then buried it several meters deep underground. The enthusiasts did not understand the specific details, but this matter soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xianyang.
On the ninth day, Zhang Cang came to report that all the lightning rods had been installed, with a total of eight, all fixed at the position chosen by Chen Xu.
On the second day after the lightning rod was installed, at noon, just as the gods made an appointment to test Qinghehou's lightning rod, a storm came again, accompanied by rolling dark clouds and strong winds, crackling raindrops whistled in the wind, and soon, lightning was thundering, and a heavy rain poured down. In the scattered rain, thunder rolled in the sky, and lightning flashed one after another in the entire Weihe Plain. The dazzling lightning flashed one after another in Xianyang City and Cuju Field, thundering and tearing the dark sky.
Just before the heavy rain came, the entire Xianyang people had been alarmed, and the whole city was almost full of people. Hundreds of thousands of people were carrying hats and umbrellas to rush out of the east gate and south gate to watch the long-awaited thunder and heavy rain. Not only in the city, but also in the villages and towns on both sides of the Wei River had already known that Qinghe Hou had installed lightning rods on the Cuju field, so nearly one million people were competing to witness this miracle moment in the heavy rain.
As the saying goes, seeing is real, hearing is empty, everyone wants to see through their own eyes how Qinghe Hou resists the wrath of Thunder God and resolves the damage caused by the sky thunder to the Cuju Field.
Even the emperor was no exception. After receiving Taibu's announcement that the heavy rain was coming, he left the palace and escorted hundreds of Xuanwu Guards to climb the floor of the south gate of Xianyang City to witness this extraordinary wonder of immortal disciples fighting against Thunder God.
"Has the Marquis been back?" In the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion, looking at the dark clouds and the sound of muffled thunder in the sky, Shui Qingrou looked around at the door of the Marquis' Mansion anxiously.
"I went back to the Marquis, and after the Marquis left the court, I heard that I went to the Secretariat and had not returned to my house yet!" The guard manager replied.
After waiting for a while, raindrops had already fallen in the howling wind. Shui Qingrou was worried and put on a hat and rode straight to Cuju field. A group of guards did not dare to be careless and followed him out of the south gate.
"Mr. Marquis, don't go up. Thunder and lightning are extremely domineering, and it cannot be fought against by human power!" Outside the Cuju field, Zhang Cang, Liu Bang and Chen Ping and a group of guards surrounded Chen Xu in the middle.
"I'm afraid, I'm sure I'm fine!" Chen Xu pushed away the crowd.
"How can you take risks with your own marquis?" Zhang Cang pulled Chen Xu's sleeve and begged hard.
Although these lightning rods have been installed at the moment, there are only a few extremely simple iron rods. Not to mention that people in the world don’t believe that they can really avoid lightning. Even Zhang Cang, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences, who has been in charge of construction inspections from beginning to end, doesn’t believe it. Now that the heavy rain is about to thunder and lightning are striking all over the sky, Chen Xu actually wants to go up to the top stand to observe the effect of the lightning rod, so a group of people naturally refuse.
"Mr. Marquis, please, if the lightning rod is effective, I can see clearly and clearly when I stand below!" Liu Bang opened his arms in front of Chen Xu with a twisted face.
Several fast horses came quickly in the strong wind and the heavy raindrops of falling beans. Before the horse could stop, the water gently jumped down from the horse's back, and rushed to Chen Xu with anxiety from the dispersed crowd.
"Husband..." Shui Qingrou wanted to speak but stopped. Looking at the posture in front of her, she knew that Chen Xu did not take the words of that day to heart.
"Thurt~"
Just as Chen Xu was hesitating, a lightning bolt that shone through the sky tore through the sky.
"Boom~~"
With a deafening roar, a dazzling lightning fell on a lightning rod like a tortuous chain above the Cuju field. A spark burst out, and a dense spark was seen wandering down the wire wire on the lightning rod and disappearing quickly.
After this shocking bolt, the heavy rain that had accumulated for a long time finally poured down, and the world was instantly shrouded in the vast rain curtain.
