Chapter 173 The Fourth Miss of the Second Branch of the Xie Family
Shen Ningning was stunned.
This group of people, are they worshipping her?
Even Lu Shaoyuan, who was standing by, was looking at this group of people in surprise.
The people formed a circle and knelt down to Shen Ningning again and again.
Some cried, some laughed, and some kept kowtowed to thank her.
They knew that the reason why it rained heavily was because of the blessing girl.
"Everyone, stop kneeling, get up quickly." Shen Ningning said softly, and helped up several elderly people with her small hands.
The crowd still felt it was not enough: "We have wanted to thank the blessing girl for a long time, but we dare not go to Langshan."
"Just now at the city gate, we heard you scolding the sinners of the Wei family, and we recognized you."
"You are the blessing girl, and you are also a good omen given to us by God. Come on, where is the flower car, bring it up for the blessing girl to sit on."
Flower car? !
Shen Ningning and Lu Shaoyuan were shocked.
Before the two of them could react, they saw four big men carrying a hollow sedan chair and hurriedly running from the end of the street.
The sedan chair was covered with fresh flowers, all in bloom.
When you get closer, you can smell the fragrance.
Lu Shaoyuan was surprised: "The float is for the gods."
In Cangyun Country, every time they worship gods, they will use floats to carry small clay statues of gods to parade.
It turned out that in the eyes of the people, Shen Ningning had long been regarded as the lucky girl next to the Rain Goddess.
Shen Ningning hurriedly waved her little hand, trying to refuse: "Uncles and aunts, I can't sit, you... oops!"
The little girl was lifted up by the enthusiastic people before she finished her words.
Lu Shaoyuan was shocked: "Shen Ningning!"
He shuttled through the crowded crowd, and the little girl was carried forward by the people hand in hand, until she was sent to the float and sat steadily among the flowers.
The fragrance of flowers that came to her face made Shen Ningning's little head dizzy.
She quickly said to the man who was carrying the sedan chair next to her: "Uncle, I'm not a god, I can't ride on this float."
The man laughed and said: "Listen, the real Fu Nu is so humble, how can the fake Fu Nu of the Wei family compare?"
The people immediately gave a thunderous compliment. They looked up at Shen Ningning on the float, their eyes full of ardent worship, as if they were looking at the gods who saved them.
Before Shen Ningning could refute, someone shouted: "Lift the sedan chair, the float parades, the Fu Nu is out, mortals get out of the way!"
"Hey!" The little girl let out a low cry, and before she could hold on, the float shook, and her small figure fell down on the futon.
Lu Shaoyuan hurriedly caught up, but was repeatedly pushed away by the crowded crowd.
The people on both sides of the street knelt on the ground and shouted Fu Nu, and Shen Ningning was stunned for a moment.
In the sky, the autumn sun was warm and the sunlight was not dazzling.
The shaking of the float brought a refreshing fragrance.
Wherever she looked, she saw the pious people.
The black cloud trees in the fairyland were bare. Shen Ningning had seen them several times. Since she had picked all the black clouds, the new black clouds had grown slowly.
She felt a little sad before. She would have picked only half of them.
But now seeing the happy faces of the people, the little girl suddenly felt that the black clouds were worth picking!
At least it really solved everyone's problem.
Suddenly.
A noble carriage came from across the street.
Originally, East Street was very spacious. Although there were many people who came to chase the blessed woman, they all consciously avoided the sides of the road and gave way to the middle road for the flower carriage.
But now the flower carriage and the carriage met on the residential road, and one of the carriages had to move away first.
The big man carrying the sedan chair raised his voice: "When the blessed woman is traveling, the outsiders should take the initiative to give way."
During the parade, who dares to compete with the gods and squeeze on the same road?
The people looked at the luxurious carriage with dissatisfaction.
Shen Ningning said in a soft voice: "It's okay, let's let them go first."
However, the people did not agree.
Even though the driver of the carriage on the opposite side kept waving the whip, the four big men carrying the flower carriage refused to give way.
In desperation, the curtain of the carriage on the opposite side was raised, and a little girl of seven or eight years old walked out.
She had a round face, willow eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes, fair skin, and a decent brocade skirt. Her back was as straight as a ruler.
You can tell at a glance that she is a lady from a noble family.
She walked slowly to the front of the flower carriage with her maid and bowed to Shen Ningning.
But her tone was a little solemn: "Fu Nu called for rain and solved all the troubles in our Cangyun country. I should respectfully give way."
"But my father is seriously ill, and there is a miracle doctor with inconvenient legs and feet in the carriage. He is going to let him go to treat my father and save his life. Please don't make it difficult for Fu Nu, and make way for me."
The last four words were said very neatly and decisively.
In her eyes, Shen Ningning was petite and delicate, even though her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, she was just a child after all.
Therefore, the other party raised his head and repeated again: "Since Fu Nu is carrying the word Fu, she should give way before a matter of life and death."
There was a touch of surprise on Shen Ningning's round and tender face.
"Don't worry, I will definitely let you go. Treating the disease is important." She waved her little hand: "Uncles, let us give way!"
The big man carrying the sedan chair turned back: "But Her Highness Fu Nu, she..."
Shen Ningning shook her little head and interrupted: "It doesn't matter, human life is at stake, we can't be careless, let her pass."
Fu Nu had spoken, so they could only obey and do as she was told.
After the float retreated, the eight-year-old girl turned around and got on the carriage and left in a hurry.
After she left, the people made dissatisfied comments——
"Whose daughter is this? She looks dignified, but she is so rude that she didn't even say thank you to Fu Nu."
"It looks like she is from the Xie family."
Shen Ningning immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
Xie family? Could she be my brother's sister?
When the float reached the end of the street, this group of enthusiastic people finally let Shen Ningning get off the car.
Before leaving, they also sent gifts of thanks.
There were vegetables with water droplets, fruits, and even clothes and fabrics.
I don't know who took advantage of the chaos to carry a basket for Shen Ningning, which contained two hens.
When Lu Shaoyuan finally squeezed next to the little girl, she was already covered with gifts of thanks from the people.
"Pfft," Lu Shaoyuan couldn't help laughing: "It can be seen that everyone really wants to thank you."
The little guy's soft voice was full of helplessness: "Just now someone wanted to send his son to me as a servant. If I hadn't refused desperately, I would have to take a younger brother now!"
Lu Shaoyuan couldn't help laughing even more, and laughed for a while.
Fortunately, his servant was nearby, and drove the Lu family's carriage to move all the things up.
Lu Shaoyuan said: "I will take you back to Langshan later, and send these to your home together."
Shen Ningning was still looking at the direction where the carriage had just left.
Lu Shaoyuan followed her gaze and said: "The person just now was the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Xie family, the fourth lady Xie Yuanjiu."
"Her father is the younger brother of the prime minister of the dynasty, but he fainted because of a temper in his early years. After waking up, he was almost paralyzed. Since then, he has needed treatment from famous doctors."
Shen Ningning blinked her round eyes. The second branch of the Xie family, that is my brother's sister.
"No wonder she is so anxious. I hope her father's illness will get better soon." The little guy didn't mean to blame Fourth Miss Xie at all.
Lu Shaoyuan looked at her gently.
Shen Ningning always thinks of others like this.
At this time, the servant of the Lu family said to him: "Second Young Master, look, isn't that the eldest young master?"
Lu Shaoyuan looked up and saw his elder brother, Commander Lu, leading the imperial guards in the distance, riding a horse majestically, and everyone looked majestic.
He smiled and waved: "Brother!"
Commander Lu stopped in front of them, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to Shen Ningning.
He looked at Lu Shaoyuan seriously, and then turned to look at Shen Ningning.
"Miss Shen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been poisoned. The emperor ordered me to bring you to the palace to cooperate with the investigation."
