Chapter 30: Heavy rain obstructs the journey

In the early morning of the second day, Zhu Yan was woken up by a thunderclap, "Bang-boom!" ”

She woke up from her bed, got up, opened the window and looked out, the sky was gloomy, not to mention the sun, there was not a trace of light in the sky. Looking at the weather, it was going to rain.

Sure enough, after a while, the downpour began to fall. She stretched out her hand, the bean-sized droplets hit her hand, and there was a ticking sound of water under the eaves, and Zhu Yan could see that the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the first floor had fallen in all directions.

It's raining so heavily, I'm afraid it's not necessary to change the travel plan, but it depends on Master. In the past few days, she has exercised her body because of martial arts, and she has tried her best to eat meat and plants on her days, and she can eat some fruits from time to time, and her body is much stronger than before.

I went to bed early last night, and although I was awakened by thunder at this time, Zhu Yan had already woken up, so I decided not to sleep anymore. There was no entertainment in ancient times, so it's no wonder that myopia was much less.

Fortunately, it was still very convenient to get things from the post station, and when she went downstairs, a small official yawned and came up to ask if there was anything she needed help with.

Zhu Yan took out the change given by the master, gave the little official a small piece, and said, "Make me a basin of water, and have breakfast." She knew that the people at the post station were the most treacherous and ghostly, and they wouldn't pick up bones if they didn't see meat, and she had seen a lot of them when she lived in the post station with Fu Yan before.

For a moment, the little official felt that the silver in his hand was a little hot, because this was the person who was brought by countless parents and officials. After thinking about it, I still accepted it. The person in front of him knows each other so well, if he doesn't accept it, won't he seem to be unacquainted?

So he gave a snort, and went down quickly, and the sleepiness had already flown away, and began to fetch water for the guests, and prepare breakfast.

Zhu Yan looked around and found that there was nothing to say in the lobby, there was no one, except for the little official who had just been on duty at night, and he didn't see anyone, I am afraid that everyone was still in their rooms. Whether he was woken up by the thunder just now, then Zhu Yan didn't know.

The little official's movements were for the sake of the silver, and he came quite quickly, and soon brought water and food.

After Zhu Yan waited for him to leave, he closed the door, began to wash, and then slowly finished eating food and began to practice martial arts. She understands that everything needs perseverance, and finally there is a master who is willing to teach her regardless of salary, and she cannot live up to his expectations.

After practicing the basic boxing technique first, the real sword was in Xue Jingyan's hand, and he was afraid that she would accidentally hurt her. What I usually practice is just a wooden sword. She vaguely felt that there was a master who used the wooden sword, but she couldn't remember who it was, so she didn't express her dislike for the master to let her practice the wooden sword.

After a round of playing, she was just tired, and picked up the book that Xue Jingyan took to her again. These books are not things like "Women's Rings" and "Women's Rules", Xue Jingyan is a man after all, and he never thought of teaching her this. Just according to the few books that his father gave him when he taught him before, about the same.

The Book of Great Xia is a record of some things since the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is of great help to Zhu Yan to know this dynasty, and Zhu Yan will read this when he has time for several days.

Lu Taizu's full name is Lu Tianhe, and he is usually the most kind, but because of the accident that happened to the Lu family, he was angry and raised troops after finding out that the real culprit was the government. At that time, no one expected him to win. I have to say that this is a gentle and kind person in the early stage and showed great ability in the later stage. It seems that nothing in the world can stump him, he eats and lives with his soldiers, trains together, and firmly grasps the military power, and it is not until he is in charge of political affairs that he gives a little bit of the military power in his hands to the Zhu family.

Naturally, there are all kinds of praise for Lu Taizu in the Great Xia book, and even his birth is overshadowed by fantasy, and it is rumored that Lu Taizu's mother dreamed one night that a pearl that radiated brilliance fell from the sky into her stomach. After consulting a doctor, I found out that I was more than two months pregnant. And on the evening of the day he gave birth to Lu Taizu, it was even more red and golden, and when Lu Taizu, who was still a baby, let out his first cry, the red glow and golden light in the sky were gone.

The author wrote it vividly, and Zhu Yan couldn't help but smile. But any kind of throne that is not obtained from his own family seems to have to make up a magical origin for himself, and he is destined to be related to that throne. History is always written by the victors, and if it is passed down for hundreds of years, even if it is false, it will become true.

Zhu Yan just didn't expect that even a popular science book like the Great Xia Book would be compiled like this. No matter when, sure enough, the imperial power is still above anyone.

The candle flame on the table flickered a few times, and Zhu Yan realized that he was thinking nonsense again. Looking outside the window, the rain was still falling, but the sky was much brighter, although it was still dark.

She wiped her face with cold water again to make herself look more energetic, and then prepared a basin of water to knock on Xue Jingyan's door.

With a squeak, Xue Jingyan opened the door, and when she saw her at the door, she looked surprised, but she still opened the door, and then let Zhu Yan in.

"Xiao Yan, you got up quite early today." He was wearing a white shirt, unlike those rude people who directly exposed his shoulders, but fortunately he had kung fu, and he was not afraid of cold or hot weather, otherwise Zhu Yan would definitely have to say it.

It's been a long time since the last time she lived across the street or next door, and she was a little embarrassed at that time, so she didn't rush to serve her master. But now that her heart is a little more open, she thinks that she has no restraints, so she has to use her actions to show that she respects her teacher.

She put the water she was holding on the shelf, looking like she was going to wash his face.

Xue Jingyan hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Xiao Yan, what are you doing, and then Master, I have no hands and feet, can't I work by myself!" ”

Zhu Yan didn't answer, just wet the cloth towel in his hand and handed it to Xue Jingyan.

Xue Jingyan took it a little helplessly and wiped his face.

"Master, do we still have to hurry today?" Zhu Yan looked at him and asked.

Although Xue Jingyan is only twenty years old, because of his perennial martial arts practice and often walking around the rivers and lakes, he wears a gorgeous costume, and then he looks a little more graceful, and he will not look like a gentleman, but looking at the muscles under his clothes, he will not feel that he is just a showman.

"Hmm......" Xue Jingyan groaned for a while, listened to the sound of rain for a while, put down the cloth towel in his hand, and pushed open the window to look at the sky.

"It doesn't look like it's going to work. We'll have to leave in a few days, I'm afraid the rain will fall again. It is already rainy in the south, especially in the summer. ”

"Yes, Master, it's strange that the sun was shining a few days ago." Zhu Yan felt that the weather was really changing. The south is already hotter than the north, but I didn't expect it to rain. I just hope that the rain will stop this afternoon.

But in the afternoon, the rain had not stopped, it was still torrential rain, and the sky was not as good as Zhu Yan thought.

Zhu Yan stood by the door on the first floor, looking at the splashes outside the door, and suddenly heard a gentle call from behind him.

"Xiao Yan, come here......"

It was Xue Jingyan who was calling her over for tea.

Even if a few people left a lot of supplies behind, most of them have already been replenished. Xue Jingyan's favorite tea has also been prepared for a long time. Xue Jingyan has always said that there is no suitable place to make tea and drink it well, after all, he has been rushing around before, covered with wind and dust, but at this moment, it is raining outside, and there are not many people at the post station, it seems that it is a time to fully enjoy this good tea.

Although Xue Jingyan's hand had held a sword, it still looked more like a scholar's hand, and he was pouring boiling water into the teapot at the moment. The teapot was already filled with fine green tea leaves, and as soon as Zhu Yan walked over, he smelled a faint fragrance. The aroma was mixed with the earthy fragrance coming from outside the door, which made Zhu Yan intoxicated.

She didn't speak, just sat on the stool next to Xue Jingyan and watched Xue Jingyan's movements like flowing water.

Xue Jingyan, a big man, naturally wouldn't make tea like a real tea master, and all kinds of actions came to the side, and soon, he poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan held the small white jade teacup in his hand, took a deep breath of the tea leaves, and then blew a few sips and drank it slowly. She just felt very comfortable all over her body, and I have to say, this is really good tea. Zhu Yan had never drunk it before, and Bicha was a tribute tea, not a little person like her.

The rain was still falling outside the window, but the atmosphere in the inn was peaceful. When you look inside from the door, you can see a large and a small drinking tea in harmony. The big one is quite calm, and the small one is holding a teacup, but it feels like drinking a priceless treasure. The big one looked at the small one from time to time, with a doting smile in his eyes.
