Chapter 238 The effect of spraying whales
Xu Muhua didn't know that she was suspected of trying to climb up the social ladder just by talking to Zhao Chengye for a few words.
According to her, the people in the palace are just idle!
They have the best food, clothing, housing and other things, and they have people to serve them. They don't have to worry about anything. They just think about competing for favor all day long, and they become useless. That's why they get nervous and suspicious of this and that every time the wind blows or the grass moves.
It's like they have paranoia!
Xu Muhua happily brought a big carp back home!
When Xu's mother heard the news and came over, she was stunned when she saw the fish!
"This... Why did the emperor reward you with such a big fish? How can we eat it!"
Xu Muhua hurriedly said upon hearing this: "Mom, this fish can't be eaten, I want to release it!"
"Ah? Release it?"
Xu's mother was stunned.
"Yes!"
Xu Muhua lowered her voice, "Haven't there been a lot of things happening in our house recently? I think Jinyu must have run into something bad. It's hard for this fish to grow so big, maybe it has a spirit, how can we eat it?"
"The best outcome is to release it, pray for blessings! I've thought about it, tomorrow - no, tonight, so as not to have too many troubles, I will move it to the Jinsha River, where Jinyu fell into the water last time, and release it!"
These words startled Xu's mother, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She looked at the big fish in the big water tank, and thought about what her daughter had just said. She felt that it made a lot of sense, so she nodded and said, "Then let it go!"
But she was a little worried after she finished speaking, "But this fish was rewarded by the emperor. If we release it tonight, will the emperor be unhappy if the news gets to the palace?"
Mother Xu was worried that if they did this and the news got to the palace, would it give the people in the palace an opportunity to make things difficult for them.
Xu Muhua felt that the people in the Chengguo Mansion might have been a little too correct over the years.
The emperor was jealous of the Chengguo Mansion, but the people in the Chengguo Mansion were too cautious, and every step they took was as if it had been precisely measured, striving to avoid any mistakes. The emperor may feel relieved now, and he won't be able to find fault with the Chengguo Mansion and take the opportunity to explode.
However, precisely because of this, the emperor is likely to hate the Chengguo Mansion even more.
The emperor prefers a problematic official, who is either greedy or lustful, to a perfect official without any flaws! Because flaws make it easier to grasp! It's easier to control!
People like the Chengguo Mansion will only make the emperor think they have ulterior motives!
"Mom, we don't have to do this. As long as we don't make mistakes in principle, no one can do anything to us casually. In life, even saints make mistakes, let alone ordinary people like us."
She said word by word, meaningfully: "It's not terrible to make mistakes, what's terrible is not to make mistakes!"
Xu's mother was stunned, something flashed through her mind, and then she began to think about it.
Xu Muhua and her daughter also told the old lady about this. The old lady was very supportive of Xu Muhua's decision. She felt that it was not easy and rare for a fish to grow so big, and she really couldn't bear to let it lose its life like this.
Releasing it is considered a good thing, and they don't lack this fish to eat.
When it got dark, the servants of the Chengguo Mansion prepared a cart, put a big wooden barrel on the cart, and put the big carp inside. Then they pushed the cart to the Jinsha River. The
big carp in the barrel seemed to sense something, and changed its quietness along the way, and began to become restless in the barrel. The lid on the barrel was almost pushed open by the water splashed out by its big tail!
Xu Muhua found a less crowded and more secluded place, and asked several servants to work together to move the big wooden barrel down, and then tip it over carefully. The big carp slid into the river.
Although the Jinsha River is called a river, it is actually a river.
The big carp felt relaxed when it arrived in the Jinsha River! It flipped and jumped on the river surface several times, creating huge splashes!
Xu Muhua had already avoided it far away, otherwise it would have splashed her!
Several servants who were watching the excitement saw such a big fish for the first time. After putting it back into the river, they stood on the shore and watched. As a result, they were soaked by the splashes created by the big carp!
"You should go back first. It's still cold now. Be careful not to catch a cold. Liang Ming and Wu'er are here. They won't be a problem."
Xu Muhua saw that their clothes and hair were wet, and said quickly.
Several servants packed up their things and went back. Liang Ming winked at Wu'er, and the two walked aside to wait.
Xu Muhua squatted down, and the big carp swam over quickly. After a while, she saw other big fish also floated up from the water and swam to the shore.
If someone saw it, they would be surprised.
"Hey, I have done what I promised you. I have sent your boss back to you! He is in good condition, and not a single scale is missing!"
So don't try to scam me!
A smaller fish stretched its head out of the water and opened its mouth in the direction of Xu Muhua, looking like it wanted to spit out water. But it seemed to have thought of something and stopped in time, and the water just sprayed to the shore.
It seemed that it was not satisfied with the effect, and it just sprayed it into the sky, like fireworks!
Xu Muhua admitted that she was stunned.
Anyone who sees a fish in a river spraying water with the same effect as a whale in the sea will be stunned.
She raised her thumb.
The fish seemed to know that it was praised and sprayed even more vigorously! So much
so that the people on the flower boat on the other side of the shore saw it and were amazed! They thought they had encountered a miracle!
The big carp was very satisfied with my performance.
"You saved my life. Don't worry, we fish also believe in repaying favors. We will repay a drop of favor with a spring of water. We fish will do the same as you humans do. We will never take advantage of you!"
Xu Muhua hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands: "No, don't be polite! Didn't you give me those beads? We are even now!"
Although she also likes to take advantage, she doesn't take advantage of everything, and she is not so unscrupulous as to take advantage of a few fish!
Isn't this embarrassing?
Grandpa, Monkey King, Big Spot, Little Spot, Newcomer: Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say that?
Tiger cub: Meow meow?
Xu Muhua said that it was because she had a strong conscience that she would not do such a thing to bully the fish!
But that’s what she thought, not the fish!
“Do you look down on us fish and think we can’t do anything and can’t repay our gratitude?”
Xu Muhua cried out in injustice.
She obviously meant well, but how could this fish not know what was good for it! She had to take advantage of it, right?
Fine!
“Okay, I respect you fish!”
