Chapter 147 Shen Li's Deeds
A few months later, in a teahouse in the capital, several businessmen who had visited Qingshan Village sat together and talked about the grand event in Qingshan Village that day.
An older businessman smacked his lips and said, "Do you remember that time in Qingshan Village? It was incredibly lively!"
A younger businessman nearby had his eyes light up and quickly replied, "Why don't you remember? I felt at that time that the village was special.
When I first arrived, I heard an old man with a big smile on his face, stroking his beard and sighing, "Today is such a happy day!"
This pig-killing feast was such a delight, and every family got a share of wild boar meat. What a great opportunity! 'I could clearly feel the joy in his tone even from the side.'
Another merchant also agreed with a smile, "Yes, later I heard a young man excitedly shouting, 'Of course it is! I even saw with my own eyes the eunuch from the capital delivering the imperial decree to the Shen family. This honor is finally ours in Qingshan Village!' I can imagine the scene at that time. The villagers must have been surrounded in three layers."
"Yes, I was thinking at the time that when the people from Qingshan Village go out and talk about this, they will be envious to death!"
A slightly overweight businessman said, "I've also heard that even those young wives who return to their parents' homes are envied by their elders and sisters-in-law, who praise them for being so lucky to marry into a blessed place like Qingshan Village. But do you know why the Shen family is so favored by the emperor?"
The young businessman asked curiously, "I'm not sure about this. Is there something hidden?"
The slightly fat businessman lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "I've heard a lot of news.
The Shen family has a little girl named Shen Li. Although she is only eight years old, she has made outstanding contributions that others dare not even imagine.
It is said that she invented a rain-making talisman. In the drought-stricken areas, once the talisman was used, a sweet rain would fall, relieving the urgent needs of many people.
There is also movable type printing, which greatly improved the efficiency of book printing and allowed knowledge to be spread faster and wider.
Moreover, she also cultivated the first batch of high-yield grain varieties. If these were promoted, people all over the world would be free from the suffering of hunger.
Because of these achievements, she was first granted the title of Xiangjun, and soon after, she was granted the title of Xianzhu. This remarkable event spread throughout our capital, and everyone was amazed.
"There's such an amazing little girl!" the young businessman exclaimed, "Isn't Shen Li a child prodigy?"
The older merchant nodded and said, "That's right. Such extraordinary intelligence must be a blessing from heaven. No wonder Qingshan Village has received such an honor. With such a person around, it's hard not to think that the village will become famous."
"What happened next? Did the young eunuch prepare to leave after announcing the decree?" the young businessman continued to ask.
The older merchant nodded. "Indeed, after the young eunuch Li Degui had finished announcing the imperial decree and enjoyed the pig-killing feast, the guard Yanfeng beside him called out, 'My fellow villagers, the eunuch has finished announcing the imperial decree and will be returning to the court to report. Please give him a ride.'"
Then all the villagers responded in unison: "Okay!" They stood in unison on both sides of the road, bowing and bidding farewell, their eyes full of respect.
I heard from others that Li Degui was sitting in the carriage. When he heard the villagers' farewell outside, his face flushed. He also said to Yan Feng, "Your mission to Qingshan Village has gone very smoothly. The people in this village are simple and honest, and they are in awe of the emperor's grace."
When I return to the capital to report, the emperor will surely be satisfied. 'Yan Feng also nodded in agreement beside him.
"Haha, Qingshan Village has become famous. There will definitely be more people wanting to visit it in the future." The fat businessman said with a smile.
While drinking tea, everyone continued to talk about Qingshan Village with great interest, as if the lively scene of that day was replaying before their eyes.
