Chapter 140: Gratitude

Not only Gangu County, but the entire Jingshou County experienced a heavy rain today.

The people rushed into the rain, cheering and crying for joy.

This heavy rain was like a key that opened the floodgates, causing heavy rain to fall in four southern counties.

The drought in the south was completely ended by this heavy rain.

The prince's mission was successfully completed after praying for rain. The palace maids and eunuchs began to pack their luggage and prepare to return to the capital.

Today, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi had just finished breakfast when they heard a noise outside.

Zhao Xian walked in quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, many people came outside. They heard that you were leaving, so they sent some gifts to express their gratitude."

Luo Qinghan wanted to say no, but then he saw Xiao Xixi looking at him expectantly.

He frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Xixi: "I want to go out and see what kind of gifts they sent?"

"They are just some ordinary things. What's so good about them?"

Xiao Xixi pulled his sleeve and begged, "But I'm really curious~"

Luo Qinghan used to sternly tell her not to act like a spoiled child, but now he simply stopped saying such things because he knew she wouldn't listen even if he said them.

He said expressionlessly, "Just take a look and come back. You are not allowed to go far."

"Okay!"

Xiao Xixi jumped up and ran out with Xing'er.

Luo Qinghan found a seat by the window and read quietly in the sunlight.

It rained all day yesterday. Today the sky is as blue as a crystal. The air is still moist, and there are occasional breezes, which is very pleasant.

Xiao Xixi skipped out of the post station.

Many people gathered at the entrance of the post station, all of them were local villagers from Gangu County.

They were either carrying baskets or shouldering poles, all of them carrying large and small bags, obviously they had brought a lot of things.

Xiao Xixi ran up to them and said.

"I am a servant of the Crown Prince. Since His Highness is unable to show up, please allow me to meet you on his behalf."

These people had never seen the world. They looked at the young man in front of them with red lips and white teeth, who was very handsome, and bowed to her one after another.

"Young Master, we are grateful for the Crown Prince's kindness and have no way to repay him, so we specially sent these gifts. We hope you can accept them."

"These are the eggs laid by our hens. We have been keeping them and originally planned to sell them. Now we are giving them all to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"This is the pickled vegetable that my family made. It tastes delicious. You can take it with you on the road."

"It rained yesterday, and a lot of mushrooms grew in the mountains. I went into the mountains before dawn today to pick a lot of mushrooms, as well as these chestnuts and bamboo shoots. They're not valuable, but they're fresh and clean."

"There are also geese I raised myself. They are so fat that I have never been willing to eat them. You can stew them for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to nourish his body."

"As for the pig I raised, I originally wanted to slaughter it and send it to the prince, but I was afraid that the meat would not be easy to preserve after slaughtering it, so I just sent the whole pig to you."

…

Xiao Xixi's eyes swept over these delicious foods and she felt that her two eyes were not enough.

Her eyes finally locked onto the big fat pig, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle, your pig is really good-looking."

The uncle laughed out loud: "Young man, you really know how to joke."

Xiao Xixi asked: "Is this a female or a male?"

"Of course it's the boar. Sow meat is not as delicious as boar meat."

Xiao Xixi was a little disappointed: "I also want to get a sow to give birth."

The uncle was very generous: "It's okay, I'm just a butcher, specializing in the business of killing pigs. I have several sows at home. If you want them, I will send them to you right away."

Xiao Xixi nodded excitedly: "Yeah, thank you uncle!"
