Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 196
Unknowingly, the day of sacrifice has come, and all the construction work on the mine side has been completed a few days ago, and Rongshui specially invited Huang Zhi to take people up the mountain for inspection.

Last night, Rongshui asked Shanhu to refine a batch of high-quality iron nuggets overnight, and then personally escorted them down the mountain. When it was dawn, Rongshui and Rong Wan were setting up a sacrificial altar at the gate of the city, displaying the iron nuggets brought by Shanhu. In front of the meeting platform, a hill was neatly piled up, and then covered with a large red silk cloth, which looked more festive.

As soon as the gate of the city was opened, people came to the venue one after another, which was also because Rongshui had been walking around the city spreading the news for the past two days.

Shan Hu and his group brought Er Qiangzi, Zhao Yu and a few of his subordinates who were no more than six people. Seeing that the venue couldn't bear it enough, they took the initiative to help carry things, set up shelves and other rough work.

At this time, Rongshui, Rongwan and Rongzheng were the only ones in the whole place. Seeing the Shanhu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, come down inexplicably with the iron lumps produced in the Rongshui mine, I couldn't help being very puzzled. After all, Rongshui Water has been keeping the family in the dark.

Rong Zheng came over and asked Rong Shui: "Isn't this the mountain tiger who came to our house last time?! Shui'er, why would he escort the things from your mine?"

Of course Rongshui knew that after the whole sacrifice, there were people from Huchangzhai and her own family. It was impossible for the two groups not to meet each other, but as long as there was no stubborn elder brother, she thought it would be easy to explain. My sister doesn't hate Shanhu and the others so much, so I'm really going to say it out loud.

But Shanhu noticed the movement about the discussion with him here, pulled away and heard Father Rong's question.

He knew in his heart that Rongshui must have concealed the fact that Huchangzhai was working for the mine. In fact, it was not difficult to understand. He didn't feel any discomfort, but put himself in the shoes of Rongshui and thought about Rongshui's feelings at this time.

Fangcai said: "It's Uncle Rong! I'm Shanhu from Huchangzhai. Today I heard from Rongshui that all the workers in the mine had come down and there was no one to help transport the iron, so I volunteered to help her transport the iron. , and took the brothers back in a while."

After hearing this, Rong Zheng thought to himself that this Shanhu was a very righteous person, and he was doing things for his daughter. Although... his previous identity was a bit embarrassing to appear at the banquet held by the Rong family, but how could he just be so silent Drive people away?

After going through several struggles, Rong Zheng said unnaturally: "This... this mountain tiger, since you went down the mountain to help the little girl, how can you let you go back like this? Don't think too much, but please use Say goodbye after dinner."

After speaking, he thought, just now Shanhu and his brothers were busy on the field, without complaining, doing things neatly and cleanly, how could he have the nerve to let him go when he ran out of use.

Shanhu didn't think about it so much, he was just afraid that if he stayed here, when all the Rong family appeared, one or two would be dissatisfied with them.

Even though Rong Zheng had tried to persuade him to stay, Shan Hu still didn't agree easily, and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, uncle Rong's kindness, we at Huchang Village have already accepted it, but there are so many things going on in the village...there is really no time left." Stay here, wait for the brothers to help Rongshui finish the work on the field, and then leave."

Rong Zheng shook his head, and was about to say, "This!...how is this..."

Shan Hu signaled that there is no need to keep him, and turned around and went back to the original place to work.

Rongshui couldn't say a word on the sidelines, and she didn't have time to hold back a few more words. Even though it was indeed a lot of trouble for Shan Hu to stay for dinner, she still wanted to reward them willingly.

It's just that before the export, it has already been rejected.

The sun has risen, and the name of the sacrifice and the name of the operation of Jiangcheng's first mine are still very attractive in a small town. I haven't seen the lively crowd for a long time, and the venue is packed to the brim. Rongshui is busy. Arranging matters everywhere, all the people, big and small, came to ask her for instructions, and there was no time left, and Shanhu also took advantage of this meeting to leave and disappeared.

Huang Zhi and other officials of the county, big and small, were all present, sitting in the seats arranged by Rongshui, all of them were full of grandeur, except for them, officials and dignitaries, Rongshui invited several well-known wealthy businessmen in the city along the way. They, while Mrs. Liu was arranged at the window on the second floor of a nearby house, just watching everything.

Someone came up to say that the auspicious time had come, so Rong Shui ordered people to appease the noisy crowd.

After calming down, he stood in front of the stage and began to speak: "Fathers, folks, and adults, the young daughter Rong's family has been granted permission by the imperial court to mine Jiangcheng mines. The purpose is to seek welfare for everyone and promote the development of the county. Therefore, today Sacrifice to heaven and earth, implore God to bless the Rong family mines, and if the gods have eyes, let the townspeople see and hear the response."

As soon as the voice fell, it was clear that the sky had been clear just now, but at some point it suddenly changed, cloudy clouds piled up, and there were thunderstorms in an instant.

When everyone was busy looking at such a suitable weather in surprise, could it be possible that the Rong family's mine came back in accordance with the decree of heaven? !A faint smile appeared on the corner of Rongshui's mouth.

That's right, this is the effect she wanted... A few days before the preparation of the sacrificial event, she specially invited Zhao Yu to help her observe the celestial phenomena in the past few days, and then determined a weather with lightning flashes to start the sacrificial ceremony.

In this era of feudal superstition, common people believe in the theory of gods, earth, ghosts and ghosts in everything. A little trick can gain their endless trust.

Originally, Rongshui, a modern person who was born in a scientific society, would not believe these nonsense at all. However, she didn't mind using this to let her mine gain a firm foothold in Jiangcheng. Many people competed for the mine, and only she succeeded in the end, but which wealthy businessman and celebrity is not thinking about some conspiracy and tricks to replace her at the right time?

Rong Shui is not afraid, but it doesn't mean he likes these calculations. Zhou Jiakun kidnapped him before, and then Huang Zhi defected. With so many incidents, how can he sleep peacefully?
After much deliberation, seeing that the operation of the mine is imminent, I have put so much energy into it and never want to see villains doing tricks.

So as long as everyone thinks that the Rong family is the owner of the destiny of the mine, the best way... is to cleverly explain the name of the sacrifice and make everyone believe in themselves, and now... this result seems to be unexpectedly good.

"The Rong family is indeed the destined owner of the Jiangcheng mine lineage!"

"Look at Miss Rong's words, the Jade Emperor Thunder God Mother responded! The Rong family should do their part to mine!"

"Follow the destiny! Accept the great responsibility of the imperial court!"

"Miss Rong's family wants to rely on the mine to serve for God's will and get rich for us in Jiangcheng!"

"Hey! You all don't know! When the second young lady of the Rong family was enlightened, it was said that an immortal dreamed of her! This is probably the immortal from the previous life!"

……

There were so many words like this, and there was a heated discussion below, even Huang Zhi and several officials in the stands were whispering to each other, sighing at the sky, watching with cold eyes, waiting for everyone to be quiet, looking at the sky full of dark clouds. A crack of sunshine.

Then she suddenly spoke loudly again: "The daughter of the people understands the meaning of the gods! She must live up to the expectations of the people and lead the people to prosperity and well-being with the help of the mine's inspiration. The gods can return! Send it off!"

As soon as the words were finished, everyone looked up at the sky. The people who thought there was going to be a storm just now opened their mouths in surprise again!
I saw that the dark clouds were gradually pierced by the sun, and pieces of smoke disappeared, and it was in response to Rong Shui's words that "Gods come home! Send them off!"

This sparked an upsurge of discussion again, everyone was dumbfounded, and Huang Zhi also stood up to observe the sky.

"Sure enough, she is the reincarnation of a goddess! She can actually control the weather! Please come to the gods!"

"It's Jiangcheng's blessing that the second miss of the Rong family got the mine!"

Not only the irrelevant civilians and country gentry elders, but even Rong Zheng and Rong Wan who were participating in the sacrifice here were stunned... How could Rong Shui of his own family have such abilities?Was it really a coincidence at the time...or could Rong Shui be able to communicate with the gods?
After Rong Shui finished his sacrificial speech, he retreated automatically, and someone announced that he would lead the county magistrate Huang Zhi to hold the sacrificial ceremony.

She knew the sensation she caused just now, but she recalled the scene of that night in her mind.

That day, I only wanted to ask Zhao Yu to come down to discuss how to get rid of dissidents in Jiangcheng, but the discussion did not come to fruition, but before leaving, Zhao Yu glanced at the moonlight and said suddenly: "These days I have been watching the sky. , the moonlight is dark... There is no wind and no dew, I am afraid that there will be a rare sudden change in the sky in a few days."

Rong Shui's heart wandered, and he repeated in a murmur, "What does the sudden change in the sky mean?"

Zhao Yu replied: "It is rare to encounter a few times a month when the weather changes instantly. This is a sudden change. There is no reason or explanation. It is a weird celestial phenomenon."

Zhao Yu's speaker was unintentional, just complaining about the weather he observed, but Rong Shui's listener was moved. The sudden change of weather... If it can be used properly, it seems to be a very good help? !
Rong Shui immediately asked Zhao Yu seriously: "Mr. Zhao! Rong Shui will ask you again, can you accurately calculate the hour or even the moment of the day when the weather suddenly changed?"

Rong Shui asked this seriously, and Zhao Yu also thought carefully for a while before seriously answering: "Maybe I can guess the specific day by observing for a few more days. As for the moment... if I observe all day long, it will not be difficult .”

Rong Shui showed a faint smile, he had a solution in his mind, and said: "That's all right, then... then I have to trouble Mr. with one thing, help me figure out which day is the day when the celestial phenomenon suddenly changes."

Zhao Yu pinched his fingers to look at the sky, and said for a while, "If it's the time, it's the first day of the next month. I won't be able to figure out the exact time until that day."

Rong Shui said: "It's okay, then it's okay to wait until the moment before the sky suddenly changes and then tell me."

Waking up from the memory, Rong Shui looked at Zhao Yu's leaving figure under the tree in the distance.
