Chapter 460 Learning to Swim
Shen Ruyi was afraid that her head would be chopped off when the official reward was given to a monkey, so she didn't agree. But no matter how the family members persuaded, the furry kid quickly hid it and pretended to be deaf and ignored anyone who asked for it.
Changle had gone out to get it back, but he still didn't want it back. The Monkey King still argued that he was also a member of the family. Why didn't he have what others had? It was unfair. He was angry and he must have it too.
There was really no other choice, so Shen Ruyi prepared a lot of tea produced in the space, honey, several wild ginsengs as thick as arms, several cans of canned food, dried fruits, beef jerky and other things for the emperor, and asked Lord Wei to help deliver them to the palace as an apology.
I'll confess my crime first and let Lord Wei tell the truth. Then, along with these gifts of apology, there shouldn't be any problem.
Anyway, she only has one child now, and she thinks it should be okay to handle this matter with the logic and thinking of a child. In fact, this matter can be big or small, it depends on how the parties involved judge it.
Based on her understanding of the emperor, he would not bother with her about this matter at the moment. He was just afraid that their relationship would become unharmonious in the future and this matter would be brought up by someone with ulterior motives to punish her.
Therefore, she had to expose this matter in person in advance to give the government a heads-up in advance.
Shen Ruyi discovered that being rewarded by the government was not necessarily a good thing. It was a mixed bag of advantages and disadvantages. She had never had such worries before. Look, now she still had to worry about this.
Everything in the world is conserved. Whatever you gain, you have to lose something in return to achieve a new balance. Otherwise, there will be an imbalance, and an imbalance will bring you bad luck.
Fortunately, the emperor was very familiar with the situation in Shen Ruyi's mansion. He had long heard of the legendary Monkey King. To be honest, the emperor was not surprised by his behavior.
Because he had heard from the young prince a long time ago that this monkey was basically raised as a child in their house. It was normal for a furry child to be disobedient, and it would be strange if it was obedient, so the official did not care.
The official was so angry that he laughed just by looking at the extremely generous "apology gift" presented this time.
Normally he was stingy and would squeeze out money bit by bit, but this time he was so generous. He should be happy, but he felt uncomfortable.
So the official sent Wei Shihui away with a "humph".
When Wei Shihui heard the familiar hum, he knew that the matter was completely over. He put his mind at ease and returned to Shen Ruyi to report briskly.
After Wei Shihui left, the emperor immediately ordered the eunuch to find the imperial physician for a routine check. Naturally, there was no problem, so he had these things put away.
He kept it for himself and let others have it, but he couldn't bear to give it to them.
After calming down, the official seemed to feel that he had the upper hand over Shen Ruyi and had found a magic weapon to get things out of her.
The emperor had made up his mind that when these things were almost finished, he would reward Little Black Charcoal with some things. He would ask the young prince in advance what kind of things this hairy monkey named Great Sage liked so that he could give him a few more things.
He doesn't believe that he can't get these good things? Humph!
Shen Ruyi heard the official snort and knew that the matter was over. She asked Lord Wei to pick more strawberries for them to take back.
Having people run back and forth several times, it is not possible to have them run in vain. We must maintain a good relationship, and the person who passes the message in the middle is very important.
They can change the meaning of a sentence simply by changing the tone of voice or the word order, making the original meaning completely different.
Lord Wei was naturally very happy. Since the first release of the wolves, Shen Ruyi has sent people to pick them and send them to them several times. Unfortunately, there were too many wolves and too little meat, and they always felt that it was not enough to eat.
He was super happy that he could pick the fruits himself this time. He could pick some and eat them directly from the field.
Especially when he told the Monkey King that the precious Monkey King could keep it and play with it by himself and did not need to be returned, the official agreed.
The Monkey King was so happy that he took Lord Wei for a stroll in the strawberry field. He knew best which ones were the ripest and the sweetest.
The Monkey King kept helping to pick the fruits, picking the biggest and best ones, and then feeding them directly to Lord Wei. He was a very loyal and righteous monkey.
Therefore, when Lord Wei finally left the strawberry field, he was burping. In the end, he left with two large baskets, feeling very satisfied. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these furry children were sometimes cuter than people.
The Monkey King even gestured and said, "Next time you want to eat, come over and I'll pick some for you. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're full."
The Great Sage was in a good mood today, so he gave two more to each of his brothers. The others in the palace were used to this, and no one tried to stop him, so they just let him do what he wanted.
Shen Ruyi was not idle in the following days. She took the young people in the mansion to learn swimming in batches. They had to practice swimming to the point where they could lie flat in the water without drowning.
Everyone knew what Shen Ruyi meant, so everyone practiced extra hard. Who wouldn't want to go out with their master and see the outside world?
Not to mention the young children and adults, even grandparents Mr. Wang are particularly interested in this. But now they are too old to learn it.
The first person who didn't drown in the water was Chen Nan. As soon as he fell into the water, he was like a fish swimming into the water. He just lay down casually and floated on the water easily.
He could even lie sideways and reclined in all kinds of ways without any problems, but he couldn't swim in a standard way and could only do the doggy paddle because no one had taught him that. But even when he did the doggy paddle, he would still slide very fast and no one could catch up with him.
Changle was extremely envious. He had learned a little bit from his uncle last year, but maybe because it had been so long, he had almost forgotten it.
Shen Ruyi specially invited professionals to guide everyone.
After practicing day after day for more than a month, the people in the mansion finally became good at swimming, and everyone could even float in the river at ease.
Shen Ruyi feels that being able to swim is one thing, but being able to drift is another.
Many of those who drowned were able to swim, so she felt that being able to float freely in the water was more important. In some special circumstances, it might be able to save one's life.
Therefore, this summer, the master of Taoyuan Villa and some of the maidservants and guards were divided into groups and went to different places, floating on the water whether they had something to do or not.
This is also a beautiful scenery this year. Even the young prince was so excited that he joined in halfway. He has also been practicing martial arts recently because he also wants to go out and see the outside world.
