Chapter 139: The Rain Center Realm
The carriage passed through the gate of "leaving the county", which meant that they had left Xuzhou and entered the boundary of Jiangzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is just a small county seat, which belongs to Pinghu County. Because it is located on the border, the street is very bustling with people.
After arriving at the inn, because Xue Shan was a domestic servant, he helped Qinghe and the others move their luggage to the room. Lan Xin's room is a suite, and it just so happens that Lan Xin lives in the inner room, while Dongxiu, Qinghe and Ziyi sleep in the outer room, and there is only one bed and one bed in the outer room, so the store has added another bed in the outer room. The three of them slept in two beds, one on the couch, which was just right.
Xue Shan's room was on the opposite side of Lan Xin's room, while Uncle Li and Ah Xi lived on the east side of Lan Xin, and the other two dart masters lived on the west side of hers. Just surround her in the middle for easy protection.
Qinghe and Ziyi helped Lan Xin pack her luggage and make the bed. Dongxiu beckoned Xiao Er to bring some hot water over and waited for Lan Xin to freshen up. Assi drove the carriage to the carport and put it away, and watched the people in the shop feed the horses before turning back to the room. After everyone had cleaned up, it rained drippingly. Escaping a rain, everyone was very happy.
Lan Xin stood by the window, pushed open the window and looked out. The room they were staying in was facing the street. Suddenly it started raining, and the unprepared people panicked. Pedestrians cover their hands above their heads and look for a nearby place to take shelter from the rain. The merchants complained about "bad luck" and quickly packed up what was on the ground. And the people who are trading will not bargain, but will sell as many goods as possible by cheapening two copper plates. Looking up at the sky, I knew that the rain would not stop for a while. So he rolled up his trousers, buttoned up his hat, carried his burden, and rushed into the wind and rain.
And those who are in the fixed stalls, while skillfully covering the things, shout for the price to be reduced. Not to mention, after such a shout, there were really a lot of people surrounding him. The stall owner didn't care about anything else, he loaded, delivered, and collected money with his hands and feet, and said with a mouth that was not idle: "Today is God's help, so that we are all happy." Alas, it's yours, please put it away,"
As the rain began to fall heavier and the streets became less and less crowded, the stall owners packed up the rest of their goods. The shops on the street closed their windows and kept their doors open so that customers could come to the door.
The rain became heavier and heavier, falling like beads of broken threads, and "crackling" on the rubble of the roof. Soon a stream of water formed in the street. A few people wearing hats and robes ran in the heavy rain with their burdens, and soon drowned in the heavy rain.
Lan Xin stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the scene in the rain. I can't help but sigh: It's really a variety of life, and there is something to give. If she was still in Xuzhou, she would be sitting in the boudoir now, holding the embroidery shed, sitting by the window, watching the raindrops that kept falling through the narrow window cracks. And now, I open the window and condescendingly enjoy the view in the rain. A sense of pride arises spontaneously, and she believes that she will definitely see more beautiful scenery in the future and create a different world.
"Girl, why are you still standing by the window in such a heavy rain?" Dongxiu said angrily, "and opened the whole window." Beware of the cold. As he spoke, he stepped forward and closed the window without saying a word.
Lan Xin shook his head regretfully, he didn't have to look at it! walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. It got dark very quickly, and it was dark for a while. The purple cloth lit the candle.
Dinner was brought to the room and eaten, after eating. The four of them chatted together for a while, eliminating food. Lan Xin sent them to sleep, and he didn't read a book himself, lying on the bed, listening to the "crackling" rain, and playing with the dusty cup in his hand. In his mind, he was thinking about some arrangements and plans after returning to the Yu family.
The next morning, the rain did not stop, and it was still dripping. This kind of weather is naturally not suitable for rushing, anyway, there is no hurry, just wait for the rain to stop before hurrying.
Anyway, there was nothing to do on a rainy day, so the four of Lan Xin's master and servant set up the card table and played the leaf card.
Towards noon, the rain finally stopped. Lan Xin pushed open the window, and a breath of fresh air came to his face, and water droplets continued to drip down from the eaves. The bright sun shone obliquely on the earth, and a dreamlike rainbow hung in the sky.
"Wow, look, there's a rainbow in the sky!" Qinghe exclaimed, pointing to the sky.
"Oops, rainbows can't use their fingers!" Dongxiu quickly stopped, "Hurry up and spit three mouthfuls." ”
"Why?" Qinghe asked with a reluctant frown, "Why have I never heard of this? You're not fooling me, are you?"
"Oh, can I still lie to you?" Dong Xiu retorted unhappily, "You just do it quickly, and I won't harm you." ”
"Bah, bah!" Boss Qinghe reluctantly spat out three mouthfuls and frowned aggrievedly.
The shops facing the street also removed the panels blocking the windows, and opened their four doors to welcome customers. Some stalls were also erected, and gradually there were more stalls on the streets. The sounds of laughter and greetings came one after another, and the streets gradually became lively.
The corners of Lan Xin's mouth were slightly raised, looking at the lively street, and suddenly wanted to participate. She dropped a sentence, "Let's go down and take a walk, and eat out for lunch today." Then he turned and went to the inner room.
After the rain, the sun is just right outside, which makes people's mood better. Lan Xin picked out a new apricot yellow makeup forging gown, a dark green Luofu skirt, and a black square plaque representing the identity of the Yu family hung on her waist. There is a double-ring bun on his head, only a pair of beaded flowers are used to fix his hair, and a few flowers are inserted in his sideburns, which makes the whole person more like a hibiscus out of the water.
Qinghe and the three of them looked at Lan Xin dressed up like this, naturally they would not be disappointed, and they also cleaned up and dressed up carefully, Qinghe was wearing a new green long skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with a few tiny gardenias, and the whole person looked simple and fresh. Dongxiu chose a moon-white dress, with a ribbon of the same color on her head, and the neat bangs just covered her forehead, making the whole person smart and cute. Purple Yi chose a pale pink dress, she was tall, tall, and well-developed, and this skirt just showed her delicate body to the fullest.
Xue Shan stood by the door with his arms crossed, watching Lan Xin lead the three of them out, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously stood up straight. Then he felt a lot of pressure, and complained in his heart: Does the girl know that going to the street in such a high-profile manner will make him very stressed? ! But he never dared to say these words, so he could only follow behind resignedly.
