Chapter 273 The Money-Loving Great Sage
Shen Ruyi quickly explained, "It's not lost. With the Monkey King's cleverness, he must have been trying to steal some silver. Don't forget, he's a money-grubber."
Nan Xi comforted, "Don't worry, Changle. The Great Sage is so smart. He will definitely come out by himself in a while."
"That's right, Changle, we just need to wait patiently." Xihe also comforted.
"Are you talking about the Great Sage? Don't worry, he's grabbing coins from the crowd.
In a flash, he disappeared from my sight. Don't worry, he will come out naturally after he has grabbed enough."
Nanchuan squeezed out, walked over and said.
“The little money-grubber has fallen into the silver jar. It will probably take a while for him to get out.
"Just wait, I saw it too. It's very clever and is already rushing like crazy, much faster than humans," Nan Chen said affirmatively.
Changle finally felt relieved and stared at the crowd, waiting for the Monkey King to come out.
Unexpectedly, the first person to come back was not the Monkey King, but Yiren.
Sister Yiren said helplessly, "That damn kid is too obsessed with money and won't come out no matter what.
I called it twice, but it just didn't want to come out. It's almost red-eyed. Just wait patiently."
Everyone stood aside and watched the lively crowd, which was piled up and squeezed together until it slowly dispersed.
Only then did they see the Monkey King, who had been ravaged beyond recognition, running towards them happily with his big buck teeth bared.
As soon as it came over, it showed off its achievements by opening the mouth of the small bag on its body to let people see the silver it had stolen.
Copper coins and small change, half a bag, he is a talent, no, he is a monkey talent!
And let everyone see it one by one, everyone must see it.
After he finished, he patted its bulging bag and gestured to Changle to output something.
You see, I have never lost when it comes to snatching silver, isn’t that awesome?
Those big stupid bipeds are no match for me at all. I admire you.
Then he patted its little bag, making a snapping sound, like a soldier who had won a battle.
The others laughed.
All the other people combined haven’t even managed to snatch a monkey. Who can we complain to?
Changle and the Monkey King's performance attracted many children, who gathered around to join in the fun and watch.
I kept exclaiming, "This little monkey is so smart."
"I want a little monkey, too."
"Wow, it grabbed so many things, it's amazing!"
When the Monkey King saw others admiring and praising him for his cleverness and for stealing so many things, he became even more smug.
Let me just say that I, the Great Sage, am the most powerful and the smartest.
I had no intention of paying any attention to these unfamiliar little two-legged animals, but these little guys are so discerning.
Forget it. I, the Great Sage, will be magnanimous and condescend to play with you.
Then a naughty red-cheeked child was heard asking Changle, "It's smarter than my brother. Can I trade my brother for your monkey?"
At this moment, the Monkey King's originally smug smile immediately changed, and he bared his teeth at the child and started to speak:
Squeak, squeak, squeak, you bad boy, you want to replace me? No way, be careful or I will scratch you.
You are so young, how can you be so mean? You actually want to take away this Great Sage? I will scratch you to death!
As he said this, he wanted to rush over to scare the guy. Changle immediately called out,
"Great Sage, don't be angry, he is just a child, he was just joking, his family is reluctant to exchange his brother.
Besides, I can't bear to replace you, no one can. So, Great Sage, don't worry, we will always be together."
When the Great Sage heard this, he immediately became happy again. I was wondering, how could you bear to replace me when I’m so smart.
He did coax them, but the Monkey King also held a grudge and refused to play with these little two-legged animals. They were all bad guys who were plotting against him!
By chance, I heard the news of sharing the tribute.
Changle and Dasheng directed Jingtian again, carrying one on their necks and holding another in their arms, and squeezed into the crowd to grab food.
The experienced people who had grabbed the copper coins before didn't even move to wait.
At times like this, the host would usually offer tribute for all the family members to taste.
The more people who try it, the better, because it is more popular and a better omen.
Moreover, it is said that the host and those who taste it will be blessed, which can be considered a beautiful wish.
When it comes to tasting the tribute, no one else joins in the fun. Even if the cooked head meat tastes good, can it be better than the one at home? Just think about it, it's impossible.
Once people have tasted delicious food, they will no longer look down on ordinary food.
Changle and Dasheng just like to join in the fun, and when they see others grabbing something, they also want to grab it.
After a while, they came out. Changle and the Great Sage had greasy mouths, obviously they had eaten meat.
Nanchuan asked, "Is the meat delicious?"
Changle thought for a moment and said, "It tastes good, but it doesn't taste good either. It's not as fragrant as the ones we make at home, but now everyone is rushing to eat it. I think it's pretty good and edible."
The Great Sage made some squeaking gestures beside him, and Changle translated, "The Great Sage said that the meat is not as delicious as the one at home. He likes the taste at home, and he said that the meat at home is more fragrant."
When it came home, the water in the house was diluted with spiritual spring water. How could they be the same?
It's a clever monkey.
Then it squeaked again, and Changle continued to translate, "The Great Sage said that it wanted to eat fruit, but unfortunately, we went in too late, and others had already cut it up and divided it up.
The Great Sage also said that he smelled those fruits and wondered if they were from our family? Brother, is that true?
Damn, you really are a genius. You know too much, Great Sage!
"I bought it from the same boss, so it tastes the same. Let's go, the ceremony is over, let's go home and practice riding."
The group of people returned home in a mighty procession.
There was really nothing to see, and the crowds who lived nearby and came to watch the fun gradually dispersed.
All the hired people have arrived. They are crowded together. The whole mountain is filled with people, swaying and moving. They have already started the work.
There were sounds of digging, lifting and transporting soil.
Shen Ruyi's life returned to normal, practicing martial arts or being busy in space.
Manju and Yiren changed their clothes and occasionally followed grandpa and the old man to the construction site.
February 21st, afternoon.
The young prince came over and said that the Queen Mother’s birthday celebration yesterday had ended successfully with a grand and magnificent scene.
"All the things that came out of our shop were brought to the Empress Dowager's desk. She was very satisfied. How could she not be satisfied? Just these few things cost more than 200 million taels of silver.
There are many other treasures, all of them are silver. If you ask me, there is no need to make a big fuss about it. It always requires a lot of effort."
"Indeed, it's extravagant enough!"
The extravagance in ancient times was naked and open.
Unlike modern society, where the wife, children and assets are abroad, only an old man is left, sticking to his post and pretending to be honest.
"She can only be happy for a few days. It has been confirmed. Six days later, that is, on the 28th, will be the day for the execution of the Prince Consort's family and Yang Huizhang's family."
