Chapter 136 Wind and Rain

Yuanxiu returned to the Pearl Hall depressedly and ordered to pick green ink and blue paper. Xue took into a plate of grapes that were hung in the well. The dark purple peel was condensed with crystal clear beads of water. Seeing her depressed appearance, she smiled and asked, "What punishment did Wulang give you?"

"The fifth brother asked me to copy the "Historical Records * Yuan Ang Chao's Wrong Biography" ten times and fined me for a month." Yuan Xiu took over the golden jump handed over by Cai Lan and took off the sleeves of the summer shirt and said sullenly.

Looking at her aggrieved appearance, Xue's eyes were smiling, but she said, "Really? I remembered that you asked your fifth brother to help lie to me! I haven't punished you yet!"

"Madam!" Yuan Xiu called her resently, picked up the book and pointed to it, "I'm afraid I can't get out of the palace if I don't finish copying, and I can't go to practice riding and shooting!" The aunt wants to punish me again. You can't blame me for losing my aunt's face!"

Xue stretched out her forehead: "I think that Golang has punished you. This time I won't care about you, and there will be another time..." She hummed twice, pushed the grapes in front of her, and said angrly, "Look at your sweat!" Even if you are in a hurry to copy and calm down for Goro, at least take care of your body and eat a few grapes.

Yuanxiu put down the book and came over. Xue peeled it to her with his own hands. The grape came from the distant Western Regions. It was as big as an egg, as colored like an agate, and its mouth was sweet. She ate more than a dozen of them in one breath, and Xue immediately took them away: "The well water is so cold. Jiu Niang only cares about the greed for her appetite and carefully makes trouble at night. Zi!"

So he called someone to get into the water to wipe Yuan Xiu's hands, and then wiped the corners of his lips with a veil, and then told him, "Go and copy the book!" I brought the grapes and went out.

Yuan Xiu returned to the case. Cai Lv had made a inkstone almost sticky. Yuan Xiucai picked up a purple hair and remembered the embarrassing scene upstairs in Guanlan and unconsciously bit his lip.

She had just written, but a purple electricity swept by outside the window, and then there was a roar - pouring rain, spilled down for no reason!

The reaction of picking blue and picking green was extremely fast. They hurriedly closed the window one by one left and one right. In such a short short moment, more than a dozen bean-sized raindrops have splashed on the rice paper in front of Yuan Xiu.

With the rain, the sky suddenly faded! It's like the night.

"The window of A's bedroom is about to close. Check it everywhere." Cai Lan walked out of the study and ordered. The little maids outside were overwhelmed by the sudden thunderstorm and were scolded by her to know what to do. For a moment, the pearl mirror hall was busy.

Xue sent the grapes back. Seeing Yuanxiu and Cai Lv cleaning up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case, he asked, "But did you get everything wet?"

"There are only a few pieces of paper above." Yuan Xiu said, "It rains so suddenly."

"It's a pity that it's a little late." Xue regretted, "There is little rain in Guanzhong this year. Although the digging of ditches during spring ploughing has not eased too much because of the time, now it is May, and the wheat has already emerged. Although this rain can make them grow stronger, those dead seedlings can't happen."

Yuan Xiu was reminded by her words and remembered his sealing of the land. He sighed and handed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Cailu: "Jinyang..."

"The subordinate officials were punished, changed a group of people, and appeased the people." Xue said this, but the sadness between his eyebrows did not decrease. He sighed, "That was originally the place of Li Jialong's prosperity, and successive subordinate officials did not dare to be excessively greedy, but now..."

"It's better than no rain so far." Yuan Xiu didn't know much about farming. Looking at the room darkened by the sudden rain, he said softly, "Or if it rains, the fifth brother doesn't have to worry too much about farming."

Cai Lan took people to inspect the hall. Because the sky was as dim as night in this short period of time, she had to light candles everywhere in the Pearl Mirror Hall. After telling everyone to pay attention to avoid the fire, she brought the lamp to the study and said to Yuan Xiu, "A family, it's dark now. It's better to copy it tomorrow to avoid hurt your eyes."

Yuan Xiusi thought for a while and asked, "But where is the window open and not tight?" It's raining so hard. It's good to see.

"Why don't you go up to the second floor? I remember that there was a window in the southeast to avoid the rain in this direction. Pick the green immediately.

The halls of Daming Palace are all layered, and there is also a building next to the pearl mirror hall. Since Yuanxiu did not copy books, he took them upstairs to watch the rain. The window opened, and a gust of wind entered first, making the tent in the building almost float to the roof and slowly fall down, and the unique fresh air brought by the rainstorm washing the soil also swept in. In the southeast is the Taiye Pool. On a sunny day, you can see the pool as flat as a mirror. The apricot forest on the shore is burning, thousands of purple and red. In the distance, Penglai Mountain is beautiful, and the pavilion on the mountain... At this moment, under the dark sky, the silvery rain seems to have no end, and it can't fall, and the vastness of the eyes are covered. Not to mention Penglai Mountain, you can't even see the Taiye Pool.

Overlooking the blurred earth by the splashed rain, I only feel chaotic. Looking up at the gloomy sky, I can't see where the rain is involved. After watching this scene for a long time, I gradually felt that everything in the world seemed to exist at this moment, only a small building, and the chaotic sky and earth outside the building were silent.

The rain came suddenly and heavily. After nearly an hour, the haze still dissipated, revealing the originally bright sky - the western slanting sun wheel was still hanging in the westward position, but the sparse raindrops hit bananas and osmanthus leaves from time to time, making a pleasant crisp sound, which seemed to be high and cloudy overhead, and spread from time to time. To suppress the low rolling sound.

After the rain, I don't know if the extreme branches and leaves are washed by water and are particularly bright, but there is still a contrast like late at night. I actually feel that although it is close to the evening, the sky is so bright that people dare not dare to look at it.

"Fortunately, A Jia Duan went to Qing Wangguan to pray for blessings before noon, and he returned to the palace today. If he passed the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace, he would have to go to practice today. He is just caught up with the rain!" Cai Lv suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands and said, "The rain is so abrupt that there is no sign before. At this time, people outside are not bad in the city. Maybe they can find a shelter from the rain - it will be miserable if it is on the original!"

Xue also nods and said, "That's true. After all, Jiu Niang is a golden branch and jade leaf. After all, she is deeply blessed." They said that they didn't see Yuan Xiu's answer for a long time, and they couldn't help looking at it.

However, Yuan Xiu held his cheeks and pinched his sleeves with the other, looking down at the Taiye poolside thoughtfully, as if he was meditating on something. He suddenly stood up and ordered, "Take green, bring the pen and ink!"

......................................................................................

The thunderstorm suddenly broke out, and the defenseless tourists outside Chang'an were indeed shocked.

The thread girl raised her head, spit out her tongue and said, "This rain... pooh!" She only said two words, and her tongue was hurt. She stopped in a hurry. Miao Niang among the people opposite smiled faintly and said, "Rain is rootless water. What's dirty? Isn't your maid deliberately spitting to each other in her face?"

"It's right to spit in front of your Langjun." The thread girl made a grimace at her, "My girl..."

"All right!" Li Shiniang's tone was still very straightforward, but she leaned lazily on the horse. The maids on both sides quarreled. Her thin summer shirt was almost soaked, which showed that the rain was heavy. The half of the apricot red silk embroidered with hibiscus on the flowers and the dark feather bird lock was hanging, and the teeth inside were short. However, she clung to her skin and outlined her slender figure. Her temples fell a little after being wet, and her makeup on her face could not be preserved. She simply took out a handkerchief and wiped it all away by the rain. Even if she was plain, she was still bent her eyebrows and beautiful, and she was absolutely worthy of the most demanding beauty standards.

Thunderstorm, wilderness, beauty, outline a state of Chu Chu.

However, He Yijian, who was riding on a horse only two steps away from her, closed her lips and looked flatly at the middle-aged man next to Li Shilinang, but did not squint at this scene.

The middle-aged man who was stared at was secretly hated, but with a smile on his face, he arched his hand and said, "Ryulang, since we happened to meet here, why don't we find a place to avoid the rain and talk about recent things by the way?"

Through the pouring rain curtain, it is difficult for an attendant like a thread girl to open his eyes. He Yijian's outline is blurred, but his voice is clear, and even with a pleasant smile, "How did the Seventeenth Lady come to Chang'an? Uncle Li is also willing to give up! It's just that Wenjin, the seventeenth Niang is the pearl in Uncle Li's eye. If you take her out, you don't look at the sky. If she is drenched, how can you explain to Uncle Shi?

Before the middle-aged man Tuoba Wenjin answered, he had ordered Miao Niang: "You and your teacher will send Seventeen Niang back!" He said righteously, as if this was not Chang'an, but Hebei. When he was traveling, he bumped into Youzhou's entourage who had not taken good care of Li Shiqiniang, and he couldn't see the help.

Tuoba Wenjin was about to reply angrily, but Li Shilen Niang said crisply, "Is Liulang afraid of me?"

"Seven Niang is not a female tiger. Why should I be afraid of you?" He Yi said with a smile.

"In this case, why do you want to send me away as soon as we meet?" Li Shilini took away the veil that had been dyed red by rouge and said slowly, "Even if I am a female tiger, with Xiahou Fubai, can I still eat you?" She spoke lightly, but the disdain in her tone could be heard by everyone.

He Yijian is proud. Although he knew that she was deliberately provoked, he couldn't help smiling: "Please help yourself!"

"Seventeen Niang, the rain is too heavy, let's find a place to avoid it." Seeing this, Tuoba Wenjin rode the horse to Li Shilenang and whispered.

"He Yijian refused to take shelter from the rain, but he just hoped that I couldn't stand it and left by myself." Li Shiniang turned her head and lowered her voice. She covered it with the rain curtain. He Yijian opposite saw her lips and teeth moving slightly, but she couldn't hear what she was saying clearly. She told Tuoba Wenjin, "How can I do as he wants? What's more, it's May now, so what if it rains heavily? Just go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold.

Tuoba Wenjin knew that Li Shilinang had been favored by Li Heng. Even Li Heng did not dare to reverse what she had identified, so she had to retreat helplessly and regretted that she did not prepare the carriage to come today.

"When did Seventeenth Lady arrive in Chang'an, and she didn't tell her first so that I could pick you up?" After Tuoba Wenjin retreated, Li Shileniang looked at He Yijian again. After a moment, the latter spoke slowly.

Li Shimenang said leisurely, "It's not too long. The reason why I didn't ask Liulang to pick me up is that I'm afraid of delaying Liulang. After all, you and I are childhood sweethearts. How can I bear to hurt you?"

"Oh?" Hearing her say this, He Yi was slightly relieved and said casually, "So there is something else for Seventeen Niang to come to Chang'an? I don't know if there is anything I can do for you, just say."

In his tone, he was glad that Tuoba Wenjin heard the score and couldn't help holding the whip. A few people such as Li Jiulang and others behind Li Shilinang were full of anger--

"Of course there is." Li Shiniang seemed to smile, "When I was in Youzhou, I heard that my sister, your lord, Yuan Xiu, has a charming appearance and national beauty. In Hebei, everyone said that I was a first-class beauty, but I didn't want to hear your reputation. I was curious, so I wanted to run over to see it... I heard that Liulang went to Chang'an first. I am very familiar with this lord. I don't know if Liulang can read on our childhood friendship and introduce him to me?

The smile at the corners of He Yijian's mouth suddenly disappeared. After a pause, he said lightly, "Seventeen Niang, you should know that there is a common saying that the so-called strong melon is not sweet."

"This jade pendant was not stolen by my father from He Shibo, but by Shibo he forced me to give it to my father." Li Shiniang was not angry when she heard this. She groped in her arms for a moment and took out a piece of jade. The jade color is transparent. In a purple electricity that occasionally passes by, it especially looks shiny and emerald. The jade carving has made a common style of flowing clouds and Baifu. In the middle are six bats connected with wings in a circle, and one is embedded in the center. He Shenghui's red gem, but the outer ring is layered auspicious clouds. The cloud patterns are like wishful, continuous and continuous, taking the meaning of long-lasting and endless blessings.

This jade pendant was originally worn by He Zhifang. Later, it was used as the basis for the marriage of He Li and gave it to Li Heng, the governor of Youzhou. Unexpectedly, Li Shiniang came back to Chang'an and brought it here.

He Yijian's hand holding the reins tightened and said lightly, "I want to take back this jade pendant. I don't know what 17 Niang is willing to do?"
