Chapter 344 Is He the Son of Heaven?
The aircraft landed in the Yang family compound.
Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua jumped out and ran straight to the backyard.
When I entered the old lady's room, I saw Mu Guiying sitting in front of the bed. Her face was pale and her hands were clasped around one of the old lady's hands.
Yang Jinhua asked anxiously, "Mother, what happened to the old lady? Come on, let's bring the peaches and golden apples over."
In her opinion, there was an accident in the Yang family, and then the fruits were consumed, which led to the old lady's accident.
But Mu Guiying shook her head when she heard this and said, "The old lady is asking for death."
Hearing this, Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua were both surprised.
Lu Sen hurriedly looked at the old lady on the bed and found that although she did not look old, her face was pale.
"Why?" Lu Sen was puzzled. "The Queen just ate a peach half a year ago. Even if she wanted to die, she shouldn't have weakened to the point of being critically ill so quickly!"
Mu Guiying's face was filled with grief: "More than half an hour ago, the old lady woke up once, and I asked the same question."
At this point, Mu Guiying, a heroic woman, couldn't help crying: "She secretly cut the peaches into pieces and fed them to Guo Lai."
Guo Lai is the nickname of Mu Guiying's grandson.
When the old lady got the peaches, she didn't rush to eat them. Instead, she said that she would eat them while practicing to maximize their effectiveness. But she didn't expect that she would secretly feed them to her great-great-grandson.
Hearing this, Yang Jinhua turned around and said, "Sir, can you please take out the last golden ringo?"
There are still a few peaches in the house, but in this situation, the peaches can only increase lifespan but cannot save life.
Only the golden apple is the real "magic medicine".
Without saying a word, Lu Sen took out the golden apple.
But unexpectedly, Mu Guiying shook her head with tears in her eyes: "The old lady won't eat it, she is begging for death."
Yang Jinhua couldn't help but speak louder: "Why did the old lady ask for death? It's not easy for us, the Yang family, to live such a good life. What did we, the younger generation, do wrong?"
As she spoke, she began to cry.
In Yang Jinhua's memory, the old lady is the closest person to her besides her mother .
I have also loved my elders since I was a child.
She is the pillar of the Yang family, how can she leave?
As if she had heard Yang Jinhua's confusion, or as if she was waiting for Yang Jinhua, the old lady opened her eyes, saw Yang Jinhua, and said with a smile, "Nannan, come here!"
When Yang Jinhua heard the old lady's voice, she immediately ran over, knelt in front of the bed, and burst into tears.
"Well, you've gained some weight. You are the most blessed woman in our Yang family since we started our family tree." The old lady looked at Yang Jinhua, raised her head with difficulty and stroked her face: "This is God's compensation to our Yang family."
Yang Jinhua held the old lady's hands with both hands and pressed them hard on her face: "Old lady, we brought golden apples here, would you like to have a bite?"
At this time, Lu Sen had already started cutting the golden apples.
The old lady shook her head and said, "You have your husband, loving him and loving him. I, an old lady, also have my own husband. I should go find him, understand? The day before yesterday, I had a dream. I dreamed that my husband was wearing a red groom's robe and sitting in the hall. Behind him were our parents, who said they were waiting for me and wanted to marry me again!"
Having said this, the old lady's face was full of happiness, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
Lu Sen was about to hand over the golden apple cut in half, but then he slowly took it back and let out a long sigh.
Yang Jinhua held Laojun's hand and cried with tears all over her face.
Mu Guiying wiped her tears, stood up and slowly walked out of the door.
Afterwards, the city of Hangzhou was dressed in mourning for ten days.
After the news spread, the whole Song Dynasty was in mourning.
For a long time afterwards, Yang Jinhua was in a bad mental state.
In front of the mourning hall, she fainted from crying at least six times. If she hadn't been in good health, she would have probably developed a chronic illness.
The funeral was presided over by Lu Sen. It was the first time for him to preside over such an event and he knew nothing about it. He consulted a Feng Shui master for every step and took it one step at a time.
But no one asked him to understand. From an outsider's perspective, just standing there was already a sign of filial piety.
Originally, this task should have been done by Yang Wenguang, but he was overseas at the time, so Lu Sen had to do it instead.
Three months after the old lady passed away, Yang Wenguang came back. He made a lot of money this time... But when he returned home and saw the old lady's tablet in the hall, he fainted on the spot.
After waking up, he sat there stupidly for two days and two nights without saying a word.
No matter what outsiders think, no matter how much benefit Yang Jinhua's marriage to Lu Sen will bring to the Yang family.
The passing of the old lady means that the "soul" of the Yang family is gone.
Mu Guiying could not bear the responsibility of such a "soul", let alone Yang Wenguang and Yang Jinhua.
It also represents the end of an era.
Three months later, Yang Jinhua gradually came out of her grief.
But she had learned her lesson. Every time she sent fruits and peaches to Mu Guiying, she would have to watch her mother eat the fruits with her own eyes before she would feel at ease.
She was really scared, afraid that her mother would also go looking for her husband.
Because they were in each other's shoes, if something happened to Lu Sen, she would follow him without hesitation.
In the fourth month, it was already winter and it was snowing heavily in Hangzhou.
The weather seems to be getting colder every year.
If it were at this time in history, there should have been sporadic peasant uprisings in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Multiple factors such as land annexation and cold climate have left many farmers without food, and they can only wait to starve to death when winter comes.
How can I not rebel?
But now it is different. Thanks to the 'Immortal Rice' distributed by Lu Sen, the entire Song Dynasty has an extremely abundant grain supply.
Even if a landlord is extremely unscrupulous and only gives his tenants 30% of their grain per acre, the tenants can still get more than 300 kilograms of grain per acre by growing fairy rice in a year. If they eat sparingly, it can be enough to feed a family of several people.
Moreover, the stalks of the fairy rice are very large and very easy to burn... They can be used as firewood, making the winter much more bearable.
Regarding the immortal rice, there was a major event last year that shocked the entire court.
The immortal rice synthesized by Lu Sen and his disciples was directly placed in the Ministry of Revenue, which then distributed it uniformly and sent it to the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest via the post stations.
To ensure that every household has rice seeds.
In this case, Lu Sen must have distributed rice seeds in excess, after all, it is normal to have losses during transportation.
But last year, a county magistrate came from the local area, carrying a coffin and blocked the entrance to the palace, where he knelt for a long time and refused to get up.
After the young emperor summoned him, he found out that the fairy rice seeds had not been seen in the eastern part of Huainan for two years, but the annual agricultural tax could not be reduced.
At this time the little emperor felt very strange, because the agricultural taxes in Huainan East Road had been normal in the past two years and had all been paid.
But the county magistrate was certain that Huainan East Road had not received any fairy rice seeds in the past two years.
Someone immediately jumped out in the court to criticize the county magistrate for his nonsense.
At this time, there had been no disputes in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi, Su Shi and others all felt that something was wrong and advised the young emperor to investigate further.
As a result of the investigation, a big problem was discovered.
In the past two years, no one in the eastern part of Huainan has planted fairy rice, and the grain they handed over was all bought from other provinces and then handed over.
As for where the rice seeds went?
All we know is that it was sold to maritime merchants, but we have no idea where it was shipped to.
The young emperor immediately appointed Wang Anshi to investigate, and then beheaded more than a dozen local high-ranking officials.
At this time, the fairy rice had become famous in the countries surrounding the Northern Song Dynasty. In the eyes of all sea merchants, a pound of rice seeds could at least be exchanged for a piece of silk.
The profits are terrifyingly huge.
But people of insight understand that rice seeds are much more important than silk.
It is a powerful tool to stabilize the country’s people’s livelihood and ensure military strength.
How can we sell it to foreigners at will?
After this incident, the production and transportation of fairy rice seeds became more stringent.
Back in Hangzhou, after a heavy snowfall, Lu Senzhong met the Queen Mother of the West again under the Fusang tree.
At this time, she turned back into a young girl, and her body began to grow slowly as she ate honey.
This kind of growth that can be seen with the naked eye is actually quite interesting.
"Your Majesty, you have been away for several months. You must have worked hard." Lu Sen poured a cup of honey wine for the Queen Mother of the West and said, "Have you found any clues?"
In fact, the Queen Mother of the West could have returned at least two months earlier, but when she was crossing the Snow Mountain, she found a white monkey there that was very spiritual and seemed to have witch blood. She wanted to take it in and bring it back to Kunlun Mountain to raise it.
As a result, when the big monkey saw her, he actually threw his poop at her on the spot, which made the Queen Mother of the West so angry that she smashed the monkey into a pulp with a palm from mid-air.
This caused a huge avalanche.
The Queen Mother of the West’s spiritual energy was running out, and she could no longer fly back, so she could only walk.
This is the main reason why it took her so long to return to Hangzhou.
Of course...she wouldn't tell Lu Sen about this.
Queen Mother Xi drank the sake in the cup in one gulp and sighed comfortably: "I feel that it is more comfortable here, with good sunshine, neither dry nor wet, which makes me, Kunlun, look very shameless."
Are you going to compare all this? Lu Sen could only smile bitterly.
"As for clues, there are some." Queen Mother of the West recounted what she had encountered in the Far West: "That woman will become a demon in the future. As for the person who attacked me, it is very likely that it was Zhang Bairen!"
Lu Sen was stunned: "Who is Zhang Bairen?"
It’s not Lu Sen’s fault that he is ignorant, because under normal circumstances, people only call him by his title.
The Queen Mother of the West said calmly, "Lord of Heaven."
Lu Sen understood immediately: "Oh, Jade Emperor!"
Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "That's unlikely. If you say that the Jade Emperor is unkind, or that he doesn't like the demons and monsters, I believe it. But if you say that he went to the Far West to help the barbarians, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either." Queen Mother Xi sighed, "So I always thought I was wrong. Maybe the other party used the magic of transformation just to mislead me."
"Green crystal plate" Lu Sen thought about it. There was no such person in the mythological stories he had come across, so he could only ask : "Can we start from this aspect?"
Queen Mother Xi shook her head: "It's the first time I've seen it, too."
"What about divination?"
The Queen Mother of the West chuckled and said, "I have discovered the real reason why the secret of heaven is not revealed."
"what reason?"
"There's something wrong with you." Queen Mother of the West looked Lu Sen up and down: "Just standing here, you can influence the will of heaven. Could it be... that you are the son of heaven?"
