In the global desert, I have a spring of spiritual water.
Chapter 11, Qianmei and Lao Kong
Zhang Xu only regretted not having a daughter at this moment, otherwise he would definitely have made some arrangements to send his daughter to the new manor lord's bed.
To receive blessings three times in one day is simply unheard of!
Such a person is definitely blessed with great fortune and has a limitless future. If you can get on their good side, you will surely rise to prominence as well, and might even be able to revitalize your family.
Under the eaves not far away.
A middle-aged man with a refined appearance and a pretty young girl with fair skin stood side by side.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a dark brocade robe with subtle patterns, with a wide jade belt of the same color around his waist. The fabric was smooth and crisp, without a single wrinkle. His hands were naturally folded in front of his abdomen, and his posture was upright, exuding an air of meticulousness and propriety.
The girl beside him wore a moon-white silk short jacket, covered with a light blue floral vest, and a matching silk skirt with delicate orchid patterns embroidered on the hem. A lotus-colored palace sash was tied around her waist, with a small jade pendant hanging down.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features, an oval face that was fair and radiant, eyes that were bright and clear like autumn water, long and slightly curled eyelashes, a small and exquisite nose, lips like cherry petals, and a pair of shallow dimples that appeared on her cheeks when she smiled.
In this desolate era, someone who could grow up to be so fair and handsome must have grown up in a large family and never lacked water. To some extent, in this era, fair skin alone was a symbol of wealth.
The pretty young girl was named Qianmei. She was Chen Chuan's personal maid and had grown up in the Chen family mansion with her master, Chen Chuan, since she was a child.
Because they grew up together, the two had a master-servant relationship but shared a childhood sweetheart bond. However, when Qianmei was fourteen, she was taken in by Chen Chuan and promoted from a personal maid to a concubine.
"Miss Qianmei, do you know what those two are talking about?"
The middle-aged man asked with a smile in his eyes. His name was Kong Deshui, and he was from the Kong family, the maternal clan of Chen Chuan's mother, Kong Yuezhi. He was quite capable.
After Kong Yuezhi married into the Chen family, Kong Deshui also entered the Chen family as a steward. His task was to help Kong Yuezhi gain a foothold in the Chen family. Later, when Chen Chuan was born, this task changed to helping Chen Chuan become the heir of the Chen family.
Unfortunately, Chen Chuan was a disappointment. His reputation as a spoiled brat was known throughout Shanghe City. Recently, he was involved in a scandalous affair with his sister-in-law and was transferred to Taipingzhuang for a post.
They said he came to Taiping Village to gain experience as the village head, but everyone knew that Chen Chuan had become an outcast of the Chen family, and coming to Taiping Village to be the village head was no different from being exiled.
Therefore, Kong Deshui was in a bad mood the whole way. He was a talented man and naturally wanted to make a name for himself, but he ended up being "exiled" to Taipingzhuang, a poor and remote village, along with Chen Chuan.
Even with a heart full of ambition, there is probably nowhere to put it to use.
However, things took a dramatic turn today.
Young Master Chen Chuan has awakened a water-type spiritual vein and become a water-attribute cultivator. Not only that, he also seems to have become a god-like life source master, and with a little effort, he brought three blessings to Taiping Manor in one day.
Kong Deshui's excitement was already overflowing. Following a Chen family outcast would obviously lead to nothing, but if he followed a Destiny Source Master, his ambitions would surely be realized one day.
In high spirits, he was about to offer some advice to Qianmei when he took the initiative to ask a question.
"Butler Kong, just say what you have to say. How could I possibly hear what they're talking about when we're so far away?"
Qianmei came to the front courtyard of the government office to familiarize herself with the environment. Although the front courtyard was the office and the back courtyard was where the manor lord and his family lived, the government office of Taiping Manor was not very big. Qianmei walked from the back courtyard to the front courtyard by herself. Just then, she was blessed by the heavens and stopped.
"That man is the director of the Agriculture Department, surnamed Zhu. He has two daughters whom he wants to give to the young master as concubines, so Miss Qianmei, you need to be aware of the danger."
Despite his scholarly appearance, Kong Deshui was a first-tier seventh-star cultivator with far stronger senses than ordinary people, and he overheard Zhang Xu and Zhu Xu's conversation.
"what?"
"Yes, that's true!"
Qianmei immediately widened her almond-shaped eyes and said angrily, "A country bumpkin like me wants to get into the young master's bed? Dream on!"
Kong Deshui stroked his beard and sighed, "Don't underestimate these country folk. They have their own skills to survive in such harsh conditions as Taiping Village."
Kong Deshui was slightly surprised when he heard Zhu Xu and Zhang Xu's conversation. He did not expect that the two country officials would react so quickly. Chen Chuan had just shown his extraordinary strength, and they were already planning how to curry favor with him.
boom!
Just as the two were talking, a strange phenomenon appeared again in the sky above Taipingzhuang. The water dragon, which had already appeared three times today, appeared for the fourth time!
Then, the same scene unfolded again: the water dragon coiled up in mid-air and exploded with a roar, and blessings descended from the sky for the fourth time!
In an instant, the shouts of "May the Lord of the Manor protect us and bring us boundless blessings!" resounded throughout Taiping Manor once again.
Whether it was Zhang Xu, Zhu Xu, Kong Deshui, or Qian Mei, when they saw this scene for the fourth time, they were shocked but also somewhat numb.
What people used to yearn for as blessings is now commonplace for Chen Chuan.
It seems he can bring down every day if he wants!
Inside the East Gate Water Room.
After settling in the fourth spiritual spring clone, Chen Chuan stretched. Actually, he didn't want to make such a big fuss and originally wanted to keep a low profile, but the spiritual spring wouldn't have it. It insisted on creating a strange phenomenon of a flying dragon in the sky when setting up a clone.
As a result, Chen Chuan, the newly appointed head of the manor, was worshipped by the people like a god, and the Hu brothers and other officials no longer had the will to oppose him.
"Changhai, all four water stations have now been restored to operation. People can still draw water from the four areas of east, south, west, and north. This will be more convenient for them."
As Chen Chuan walked out of the washroom, he spoke to Hu Changhai.
"What the master says is absolutely right."
Hu Changhai quickly nodded. In fact, when all four wells had water, the villagers would draw water from the nearest well. But there was no need to say that. Since Chen Chuan had given the order, they should just do as he said.
"I've had a long journey, so I'll head back to the government office to rest first. You and Lao Hu can handle the rest."
Upon arriving in Taipingzhuang, Chen Chuan immediately threw himself into his work. He was indeed quite tired and prepared to go back and rest.
Let's also take a look at the progress of the task of nourishing 10,000 people with the spiritual spring. Right now, all four spiritual spring clones have been set up. Once all the people of Taiping Village have received the water, theoretically, the number of people nourished should exceed 10,000. I just don't know how it determines the number of people nourished.
Whether drinking the spiritual spring water is enough for nourishment, or whether it needs to be sustained for a period of time, needs to be verified in practice.
