Lucky First Daughter: After crossing, she will fly the whole family with her mouth

Chapter 12
With permission, Xiao Jinyue immediately left the house with Fennel.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Jinyue did not go directly to Fengxiang Pavilion, but let the servant drive the carriage and walked slowly along the street.

Xiao Jinyue traveled here, except for the time when she returned home from Cuiyan Villa, this was the first time she went out on the street.

There was still a drizzle in the sky, Xiao Jinyue looked out through the bamboo curtain, and saw along the way, there were still people repairing houses in the rain in many houses.

This month, the weather has been abnormal. Since the tornado that night, the rain has not stopped.Sometimes it's raining for days on end, sometimes it's just a little rain.

At the beginning, many families whose houses were damaged by the tornado planned to find craftsmen to repair the house immediately when the rain stopped the next day.But unexpectedly, it was pouring rain for several consecutive days, and the repair had to be put on hold temporarily.

After finally waiting for a few days, the rain gradually became smaller, but the rain never stopped.

Many people have no choice but to ask craftsmen to repair it in the rain.

Those who planned to wait for the rain to stop before hiring craftsmen did not expect that the rain would never stop.In desperation, he had no choice but to invite craftsmen to repair it in the rain.

It's just that there are few artisans in the city, but there are many damaged houses, and there are too many monks to eat, so many people are a step behind, spending several times more than usual, and they can't invite artisans.

It's good that there are many servants in the mansion, and they can always gather some servants to work.Send someone to buy tiles and other things needed for repairs, and let the boy build a ladder to lay tiles on the roof.

Xue originally planned to wait for the rain to stop before inviting craftsmen to repair it. Unexpectedly, the rain would not stop, and later even the craftsmen could not be hired.

In the end, Xiao Pingyuan couldn't bear to see his children squeezed in the small side room of the main house, so he decided to start repairing it on the rest day.

After sending someone out of the city to buy the tiles back, he put on a set of worn-out uniforms, rolled up his sleeves, took his eldest son and a group of servants, and climbed up to the roof to repair it himself.

Xiao Jinyue was worried that the roof would be slippery and unsafe, and wanted to stop her, but her father said nonchalantly that he was a dignified general who could kill the enemy with a knife in wartime, so such a trivial matter as repairing the roof would not trouble him.

Xiao Jinyue looked at the cheap father and eldest brother who were busy in the rain on the roof, and was very moved.Xiao Pingyuan and Mrs. Xue are a pair of rare parents who treat their children too well.

It was raining non-stop, and a lot of water had accumulated in the ground. The carriage couldn't move fast, and there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the road.

The heavy rain continued. I heard that due to the large number of poor people living in the north of the city, the quality of the houses was poor. Many houses were soaked in the rain and collapsed a lot. Even the emperor in the summer resort was alarmed.

As early as half a month ago, after the emperor returned to the capital with all the civil and military officials and their family members who had gone out of the city to escape the summer heat, he immediately sent out craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to help the people repair their houses, and sent officials to build shelters to accommodate those homeless people. The poor people who returned.

Many shops on the street were closed. It rained continuously for a month, and the prices of all kinds of grains in grain stores have increased one after another. Vegetables have also been soaked in rainwater, and the prices have also increased a lot compared to usual.

But even so, it is still in short supply.

Xiao Jinyue was extremely glad that she tamed the white tiger. In the past month, Xiaobai brought the wild animals he hunted to the door every now and then before dawn. Xiao Jinyue left some for everyone in the house to eat, and took some to secretly use the space The spirit spring water and seasoning are marinated, and then fed to it.

Now all the people in the house are eager to honor the white tiger as their ancestor. Although it still doesn't let others get close to it, no one has any objection to the wild animals that are brought to the door.

The weather was bad and the economy was sluggish. After looking all the way, Xiao Jinyue didn't see any business opportunities. She sighed and had no choice but to let the young man drive the carriage to Fengxiang Pavilion.

I thought it would rain every day, so no one would go out.Unexpectedly, when I entered Fengxiang Pavilion, I was surprised.I walked around the upper and lower floors, and after counting, there were more than a dozen daughters choosing jewelry.

As expected of the famous Fengxiang Pavilion in Beijing, there are all kinds of jewelry, and the carvings are also good.

Xiao Jinyue took the fennel and picked it slowly, while listening to the conversations of those ladies.

It turns out that there are rumors in Beijing that if ten days later, the heavy rain still does not stop, the emperor is going to take all the princes and lead all the civil and military officials to sacrifice to the sky to pray for blessings.

These ladies are going to participate in the blessing ceremony with their families. For such an important occasion, they naturally need to dress up carefully.

No, these ladies all coincidentally took advantage of the less rain today, and went out to Fengxiang Pavilion to pick out jewelry and headgear.

After hearing other people's comments, Anise couldn't help but feel moved, "Girl, you should also choose the same jewelry."

Xiao Jinyue twitched the corners of her mouth and said casually, "No need, the rain will stop soon."

Natural disasters cannot be controlled by humans at all, and praying for blessings is useless.

Besides, even if she was going to participate in the blessing ceremony, she would not dress up carefully.

Prayer, regardless of whether it is useful or not, the key is to see if the person praying is pious, not who is the most well-dressed.

Xiao Jinyue was about to ask Xiao Er to take out a plum blossom hairpin that she liked to have a look at, but unexpectedly, there was a sarcasm of yin and yang behind him.

"Hey, the heavy rain will stop soon? You don't have to worry about the wind flashing your tongue if you talk big!".

Xiao Jinyue turned her head suspiciously, and behind her stood a girl in a emerald green collar and a frosty white skirt, staring at her with disdain.

Fennel also turned her head, and when she saw the speaker, she said angrily to Xiao Jinyue, "Girl, that's He Wanying."

Xiao Jinyue understood in seconds, it turned out to be the cousin of the scumbag fiance.

Xiao Jinyue didn't bother to answer her, glanced her up and down casually, and then turned her head.She is not here to quarrel, it is rare to go out, she has to hurry up, choose jewelry, and is going to find a shop to taste ancient dishes.

Being so neglected by her, He Wanying crumpled the handkerchief in her hand angrily, "Xiao Jinyue, when did you learn to observe the sky, dare to say that the rain will stop soon!"

Xiao Jinyue was about to ask Xiao Er to get her a hairpin, but she interrupted her, and casually said, "When did I learn it, what does it have to do with you?"

The dialogue between the two attracted the attention of many people.When He Wanying saw it, she rolled her eyes and raised her voice, "Since you have learned how to observe the sky, then you should tell everyone when the rain will stop."

Being interrupted again and again, Xiao Jinyue said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up."

He Wanying sneered, "When is it coming soon? If you say this, it means you didn't say it. Could it be that you haven't learned how to observe the sky at all, and you're just trying to make a splash?"

Xiao Jinyue was speechless. When did she become a sensationalist? At first, she was just talking to her maid. If she hadn't yelled at will, the other ladies would never have noticed what she was talking to the maid.

"Whether I'm grandstanding or not is none of your business. Have you eaten your rice? Don't worry about that much!" Seeing her repeatedly targeting herself, Xiao Jinyue was very annoyed. The relationship between her and He Wanying was destined not to coexist peacefully because of that scumbag fiancé. That being the case, she didn't bother to be polite anymore.

Xiao Jinyue said something bluntly, then turned around and called Xiaoer who was waiting next to him, and asked him to take the plum blossom hairpin out of the counter.
