Chapter 55: A Big Rain Prayer Banquet (1)
Flowing clouds surged from all sides, gathered above Jiangliu County, and large groups of dark clouds pressed over the sky, causing dullness and irritability to arise naturally.
The people who came out for a walk at night also discovered that there was anything more happy than God's eyes and mercy on the rain. They ran around and told each other, calling their friends out to see the clouds.
The lanterns hanging high on the eaves of the Lujia Gallery are bright and bright, just like the harmonious atmosphere in the front hall, warm and festive.
The tall and thin-waisted maids came in one after another to deliver delicacies. When they stepped over the edge of the door and entered the front hall, under the illumination of the candlesticks on the edge, each maid was lingering in pearls and jade, and was shining with stars, and walked out of the bright white light, with all manners.
"Even Mr. Lu is a maid, I am lucky enough to see you today, and I have no regrets."
The county magistrate of Jiangliu County saw his eyes straight and his eyes were lingering in the dishes... and then he held up the chest of the agate necklace, waited for the maid to come to the side, bent over and showed his beautiful curves, and his waist that was swaying under the green silk ribbon, and praised him.
"The Lord worked hard for the people of Jiangliu County. It's really hard. I'll give you a drink!" Mr. Lu didn't understand the meaning of the magistrate. The other maids put down the dishes and lifted the lid and left, leaving only the maids at this table and instructed her to serve the magistrate.
The wine glasses made of silver and gold were clinking, and Lu Yuanwai and the magistrate were tacitly informed. The magistrate narrowed his eyes into a slit, and his eyes were gurgling at the maid to look at him casually. After sipping the wine, his attitude towards Lu Yuanwai gradually changed.
Mr. Lu smiled even more enthusiastically and talked to him: "I appreciate it because I am looking down on you, but the secret is it."
He pointed at the dishes mysteriously and personally lifted the lid for the magistrate.
At sunrise, the towering mountains and clouds pour out, like the surging of thousands of horses. It is rare to see if you are not destined to see it. The tip of its iceberg appears in the square mountain Penglai, and immortals appear in the forest and feel at ease. This dish shows this scene.
The milky white cold mist came over the surface, refreshing the heart. When the mist revealed the true face of Mount Lu, the "mountains" like ice peaks and snow peaks stood on the ice plate. The magistrate praised it: "It's so wonderful..."
"Please look, sir." Mr. Lu showed him the translucent lid. The magistrate quickly recognized it as glazed glass and understood. The maid and maid stepped into the door with the dishes covered with glazed glass lid. The candlelight shone on the glazed glass lid, reflecting bright light, creating a feeling of jewelry.
He nodded, his eyes turned to the snow mountain on the ice plate, hesitated for a while, and guessed: "Is this Sushan?"
"Sir, I have a good eye. This is Ruilian, a chef who brought back from the capital. He is good at making flower dots with crispy pastry. He holds the soft hot pastry in his hands, letting it leak out from his hands, and tapping out Cui Wei's Sushan. Ruilian has never seen the magistrate."
Ruilian, who stood aside and did not leave, looked at the magistrate Yingying's blessed body, with a delicate voice as if she had eaten a sauté mountain, and it was sweet and greasy, all of which were crispy.
"I have to try it..."
The temperature of the magistrate's table has risen sharply, but for the village chiefs of several villages, it is crucial to rain: "Why isn't it raining yet?"
A Yao was also begging: "Don't rain."
The sky was gloomy, and there were a few muffled thunders, but there was no drop of rain.
Pei Shuo and several others divided the work. Pei Bu drew the topographic map of the Lu family and nearby streets and alleys. A Yao listened carefully. It was too dark and it was hard to see the ground clearly. She could only write down the buildings or scenery nearby through him and adapt to the situation.
"It is worth noting that this place is where thirty children are imprisoned, and there are also many children. These two places are relatively remote and are quite close to the woodshed and the kitchen. Next to the courtyard is a large garden, which is relatively empty. On the street behind, not many people usually approach it, leading to the granary of Jiangliu County Official."
Pei Chuan focused on these two places.
"Let's let him fire again? It's not enough to calm the public's anger if it doesn't burn it!"
"Young master, I understand your feelings, but this is contrary to the way of a gentleman. If they commit crimes, they are the government and the court's code to punish them. What we have to do is not to turn ourselves into villains like them, but to expose them." Pei Bo said.
"But look." Pei Shuo pointed to the front hall, "The county magistrate of Jiangliu County smiled and said, and there were also teachers and staff members who were accompanied by bright clothes and faces. Will these people really punish the evil people?"
A Yao repeatedly recited the water to carry the boat, and it could also overturn the boat.
"A Yao, what are you talking about? Do you don't agree with my words?" Pei Shuo glanced at him.
"I thought of it~"
Her eyes burst into bright light, "It can start with civilians. If someone sees money and is brought into the Lu family by the thief, then do they have to make trouble? Then we can lead them to discover the children... But this plan requires a person with strong martial arts skills and flexible body skills."
"This is not the same as the young master's fire, so I'll go on the sidelines." Uncle Pei still disagreed.
A Yao touched on: "But the soldiers are never tired of cheating. If you say this, you can still attack Chen Cang secretly. Although stealing is indeed a bad method, it is better than setting fire. The Lu family has not even damaged the house. As long as the people's things are placed in a conspicuous place, they cannot be returned to the people. The Lu family has done a lot of secret affairs, and the backyard is buried in a thick and lusty way. I don't know how many children are harmed!"
Falling...
Two words flashed through the heart of the four-person group of hundreds of steps.
Pei Bu agreed with A Yao's suggestion, "I am still familiar with the location here. Brother Pei Chuan has the best kung fu here. Brother Pei Chuan and I will go back and you two will take good care of the young master and Miss Jiang."
Pei Shuo nodded: "Be careful on the road."
The Taoist priest danced for a long time, and the dark clouds on his head seemed to crush the sky and reach the world, but what about rain?
Where is the rain, God?
"Where is the rainwater? I said Mr. Lu, this Taoist priest was cheating, right? It's been a long time since he didn't even get a drop of water." Several village chiefs were dissatisfied, "Did you invite us to watch him play monkeys?"
You are just playing monkey play! The voice of doubt reached the Taoist priest's ears, and his body shook, and his heart was collapsed at this moment.
Mr. Lu was also anxious. If he hadn't been accidentally hit by this man and found out that his son was shameful, he would have threatened to expose his son's affairs. He would not be afraid of reporting to the official, but the Taoist priest said that he was going to the heavens and burned the watch signs into the underworld, and told the Sixteen Palaces that the descendants of the Lu family had become members of the animal realm for generations, and there was no possibility of turning around.
He was so scared that he was panicked. Who knew that the scholar had changed his mind and claimed that he would not have been able to pray for the wind and rain. He needed children's flesh and blood to refine the elixir of immortality. If they cooperated, he could protect his Lu family's glory for ten generations.
The second half of the words were not spread, but I don’t know who would spread the content of the prayer for the wind and rain, otherwise there would be no such thing as today!
Oh my God, it will rain soon!
