Qin Qiong looked at Qin Yu for a long time. In the end, he actually revealed a helpless and bitter smile.
He said slowly,"I asked you to come to Chang 'an because I thought that you were still young and that you could take care of yourself after you came here." It's just that I never expected that in the end, it was my uncle who borrowed your light.”
Qin Yu smiled and said," Uncle, why do you have to be so polite when you're family? I'm very capable. Are you also willing to see me like this?"”
"Yes." Qin Qiong nodded and immediately said,"I never thought that you would have the ability to make His Majesty value you when you were only eight years old." I won't ask where you learned these skills. But remember, a tall tree attracts the wind. In the future, you must keep a low profile.”
Qin Yu naturally knew that this was advice from an elder.
He thought for a moment and said,"Uncle, don't worry. I know."”
"Yes." " Yes." Qin Qiong nodded and said," Although you're only eight years old, I'm very assured about you. At the very least, you're more worry-free than Huaiyu." However, you must remember to be more respectful in front of His Majesty in the future.”
Along the way, Qin Qiong said a lot more, and Qin Yu agreed with a smile.
It was only until they arrived before the manor gates that Qin Qiong stopped persuading.
The sky was already dark, and the manor was brightly lit.
It was Madam Jia who had not slept, waiting for the two to return.
After chatting for a while more, Qin Yu returned to her small courtyard.
Qin Qiong brought Madam Jia back to her room.
Tonight, the two of them must have a lot to say.
The night was quiet.
A crisp sound broke the silence of the Wang family mansion.
"Preposterous…" In front of Wang Qiuting was the teacup that he had just broken. At this moment, his face was full of anger as he scolded,"This brat does have some ability. Tonight, we have actually fulfilled his good name. Hmph…A dream turned into a poem, eight poems in a row. Tomorrow, his reputation as a child prodigy would spread throughout Chang 'an.”
Wang Qiufeng gritted his teeth and said,"Who would have thought that he would have such knowledge and poetic talent at the age of eight?”
Wang Qiuting's eyes were as gloomy as water as he said slowly,""You were too careless this time, but this is also reasonable. No one would think too highly of an eight-year-old child. This is also the reason why we failed."
"Yes." Wang Qiufeng slowly nodded. He thought for a moment and said,"Then what should we do next? This time, we outsmarted ourselves and ended up making him famous. Next time, I'm afraid it won't be good."
"Good name?" Wang Qiuting pondered for a long time. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he sneered,""The higher you stand, the harder you fall. He is only eight years old. I want to see how long he can bear the title of a child prodigy.”
As he spoke, Wang Qiuting thought of something and continued,""You said earlier that in a few days, what kind of donation is he going to make to prepare for the food disaster?”
"That's right." "This kid is really whimsical." Wang Qiufeng nodded and said,"He actually thought of such a method." Hmph, when the time comes, we won't even donate a grain of rice. Let's see what he does.”
"No."
Unexpectedly, Wang Qiuting shook his head and said,""Our aristocratic family is a prestigious family. We should share the burdens of His Majesty and the Imperial Court. Food still needs to be donated."
"Hmm?" "Donate?" Wang Qiufeng was startled and asked doubtfully. How much?"
Wang Qiufeng smiled and said,"How much can we donate? Our Wang family has a large population and we don't have enough food to eat.”
Instantly, Wang Qiufeng came to a realization. He revealed a fox-like smile and said,""Understood."
"You and the other families should also share this matter.”
"Alright."
The conversation between the two gradually weakened until it disappeared.
The night slowly passed.
Finally, a white light pierced through the night sky. It was dawn.
It was an early morning in Chang 'an.
Those who woke up early were already busy on the streets.
The announcements that suddenly appeared in some places attracted many people to stop.
Can locusts be eaten?
His Majesty had already eaten?
The officials also said that locusts were delicious?
It could even cure illnesses? Treating night blindness?
The imperial court would start purchasing locusts tomorrow at two wen per catty?
The contents of the announcement surprised the commoners and caused them to discuss animatedly.
They couldn't believe their eyes. Was the content before their eyes real?
However, there was the official seal of the imperial court on it. It was impossible to fake it.
But...
But if they ate locusts, wouldn't the Locust God blame them?
If the Locust God blamed them and caused an even greater locust plague next year, what should they do?
The contents of the notice were too unbelievable to the people, so it spread extremely quickly.
It could be said to be passed down by word of mouth.
Not to mention the commoners, even the officials found it baffling and unbelievable.
At this moment, the morning court session had yet to begin, and the officials were still waiting outside the palace gates.
While waiting, they naturally had to gossip.
Today, the officials were talking about the announcement.
"Your Majesty's actions are truly foolish…"
...
Seeking a wave of fresh flowers, monthly votes, evaluation.
I'm updating so punctually. Can everyone give me some encouragement?
Thank you!
