In the global desert, I have a spring of spiritual water.
Chapter 10, Three Blessings Descend, Two Daughters Given
Hey!
Duh!
The crowd in line erupted in a frenzy, shouting in shock.
"A dragon soars into the sky, a blessing descends from heaven?"
"No way, another blessing?"
"I must be seeing things; I've definitely seen this scene before!"
"Two blessings in one day! This is an auspicious sign of great prosperity for my Taiping Village!"
After a brief moment of astonishment, the people cheered with joy.
Living in this vast desert era, nothing is more reassuring than abundant water, especially for those people who were previously in a state of semi-dehydration, who were so excited that they wept with joy.
They barely survived in this desolate era, teetering on the brink of dying of thirst every day. No one understood the preciousness of water better than them!
Hu Changhai, who was left behind in the water room, was also shocked to see this scene.
Chen Chuan's ability to activate the depleted well and elevate the water source from inferior to superior quality has already earned his utmost admiration. His thoughts are the same as his elder brother Hu Changhe's: they must do their best to assist this manor lord who may be a life source master.
For the sake of the more than 10,000 people of Taipingzhuang, and also for the future of the Hu family!
"May the Lord protect us! May the Lord protect us!"
"May the Lord of the Manor be blessed with boundless fortune and everlasting good luck!"
Hu Changhai, in a dramatic display, knelt down and shouted.
Although Chen Chuan wasn't present at the moment, he was confident that his actions would reach the other party's ears. This was a time to show loyalty, and he couldn't be ambiguous about it.
With Hu Changhai, the director of the Water Resources Department, leading the way, the water soldiers instantly knelt down, kowtowing and shouting, "May the Lord protect us! May the Lord's blessings be boundless!"
Seeing this, the people also knelt down. They were all beneficiaries of the system. The new lord had just taken office and had already brought them good fortune. They had only received half a bowl of water a day, but now they had received two bowls. It was not an exaggeration to kneel down to such a lord every day.
Thus, the shouts of "May the manor lord protect us, may the manor lord be blessed with boundless fortune!" resounded throughout the entire manor and echoed throughout the world!
Amidst the deafening shouts, Fuze landed again, for the same duration as before, a quarter of an hour!
Inside the official office.
The registrar Zhang Xu and others have returned to their posts. This was Chen Chuan's order. Previously, the village was short of water and faced the possibility of being relocated at any time, so the officials, including Zhang Xu, had no interest in their official duties.
Now that the situation has reversed, they naturally have to make up for the missed official duties. At this moment, Zhang Xu is checking accounts with Zhu Xu, the director of the Agricultural Affairs Department. In this government office, apart from the Hu brothers, the two of them have the most power, one in charge of money and the other in charge of grain.
Just as the two were busy with their official duties, a deafening cheer suddenly rang out outside the government office. The two quickly went out of their office and found that there were already many people standing in the courtyard of the government office. The same "strange phenomenon" appeared in the air as before.
Immediately afterwards, blessings descended once more!
The yamen runners and clerks in the courtyard were overjoyed, and Zhang Xu and Zhu Xu were also beaming with excitement.
"Blessed twice in one day, the manor lord is truly blessed with good fortune!"
Zhang Xu wiped the rain off his face and sighed.
"Thanks to the lord's protection, the grains outside the manor are saved!"
Zhu Xu excitedly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the distance. As the director of the Agricultural Affairs Department, nothing could make him happier than receiving a blessing from heaven.
Although grains are drought-resistant, the harvest is completely different in a well-watered environment and in an absolutely dry environment; the yield per acre can differ by as much as five times!
Like the Hu brothers, he originally didn't think much of Chen Chuan, that spoiled brat. But this very spoiled brat gave everyone a big surprise and brought new life to Taipingzhuang.
"Brother Zhang, what do you think of my marriage to the manor lord?"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhu Xu asked a question.
"Old Zhu, you've got a clever plan. I'm just afraid the manor owner won't take a liking to your daughter!"
Zhang Xu could easily guess Zhu Xu's thoughts. The other party wanted to completely cling to the new manor lord's coattails. If he could really marry his daughter to Chen Chuan, he would be the manor lord's father-in-law, and wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in Taiping Manor?
"I know the master is from a very high family and I can't possibly be his concubine, but I'm certainly qualified."
"Brother Zhang, I'm hesitant to bring this up myself, but could you perhaps help me sound out the master's opinion?"
Zhu Xu was also a decisive person. After witnessing Chen Chuan's methods, he was determined to latch onto this powerful figure. However, no matter how much he showed his loyalty, it was not as good as marrying his daughter to him.
Zhu Xu has one son and two daughters. His eldest daughter is sixteen years old and has an outstanding appearance. She is of marriageable age. If she can become Chen Chuan's concubine, she will have secured a powerful backer. If his daughter is capable and gives Chen Chuan a son, the two families will be connected by blood and completely bound together.
"Since you've brought it up, Old Zhu, I'll find an opportunity to give it a try."
Zhang Xu has no daughters, only two sons, so Zhu Xu's path is blocked. But people say that the new master of the manor is a spoiled brat, and the first thing he does upon entering the manor is to drive piles. He might really be a womanizer.
He offered the other party a girl on his own initiative, and if she accepted it, it would be considered a merit.
Therefore, Zhang Xu thought that helping Zhu Xu sound out Chen Chuan's opinion was a win-win situation. Not only would Zhu Xu be indebted to him, but he might also gain Chen Chuan's approval.
"If this succeeds, a generous reward will be given!"
Zhu Xu quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Old Zhu, you're too kind."
"If you really become the landlord's father-in-law, don't forget your brothers!"
Zhang Xu laughed heartily.
"How could I ever forget such a profound kindness!"
Zhu Xu quickly responded.
After a while, the rain stopped.
Just as the two were about to return to their office, a water dragon reappeared above the south gate of the manor, and then blessings descended upon Taiping Manor for the third time!
Everyone inside the government office was stunned, then they all knelt down and shouted, "May the Lord of the Manor protect us, may his blessings be boundless!"
As the saying goes, "Once is enough, twice is enough, but never a third time!"
With the new head of the manor taking office, Taiping Manor was blessed with three times in one day. This was nothing short of a miracle to everyone, something they had never heard of before!
The reason why everyone shouted "May the Master protect us and bring us boundless blessings" along with the Hu brothers was actually partly out of a desire to flatter them. After all, even the Hu brothers were shouting like that, so they couldn't be left behind.
And if someone were to shout "May the Lord of the Manor protect us, may we be blessed with boundless good fortune!" at this moment, it would be from the bottom of their heart!
Three blessings descended in one day!
In their minds, Chen Chuan, the new manor lord, was a god-like figure.
Worshiping gods is a matter of course, and I feel no burden in my heart.
After kneeling and bowing for a while, everyone rose to welcome the blessings.
Meanwhile, the yamen runners had already brought various containers and placed them in the courtyard. Since it was a blessing from heaven, the more they received, the better.
Zhu Xu tugged at Zhang Xu's sleeve and said solemnly, "Brother Zhang, I am willing to offer both of my daughters to the Master as concubines. My daughter will turn fourteen next month, at which time she can be married!"
In this era, human lifespans were generally short, and people could marry as young as fourteen. Zhu Xu had never considered marrying his youngest daughter to Chen Chuan; in his view, giving one daughter was enough.
However, the situation has changed now, and it would be safer to send both daughters there!
