Chapter 221
The gloomy sky was still raining.
It's not big, but it's very fine.
Like a silk thread.
Drifting with the gusts of autumn wind.
A few traces fell on Zhongli Ruoshui's brow.
Somewhat cool.
So it was cold in her heart.
She shuddered suddenly, Lin Xue'er had already taken a snow-white cloak, stood behind her, draped it on her shoulders, and said very nervously:
"Miss...... Why don't you go back to your room with Your Highness and sit down?"
Zhongli Ruoshui shook her head, she still looked at this autumn rain, "You go down first, ask the kitchen to stew two cups of bird's nest, and prepare an afternoon meal, Chen An should come back after the stay." ā
Lin Xue'er lowered her head and bowed, "The slave will go." ā
She stepped back.
Zhongli Ruoshui gathered his cloak, and didn't seem to feel much warmth.
Because even if you put on a mink fur and can warm your body, you can't warm that cold heart.
Zhongli Ruoshui looked up at the increasingly gray sky in the rain.
An autumn rain and a cold.
The weather is changing so fast that it is close to the autumnal equinox...... Next is the cold dew, and it won't be long before winter begins.
In winter, it's time for snow to fall.
It's snowing...... When the earth is covered in silver, you may be gone.
Chen'an is still here.
He might warm a glass of wine in this pavilion, and he would be saddened by his departure.
But time is the best medicine in the world.
It will eventually heal it all.
Maybe a year or two later, Chen An will get out of this sadness and start his new life.
Sitting in this pavilion will be him and Ning Chuchu.
The wine is still the same.
People are still the same.
The lotus flowers in the lotus pond will bloom again, and the fish will grow again.
It's just that on Shuiyun Mountain, or on Peach Blossom Mountain in Guangling City, there is one more tomb covered with grass and a few wild flowers.
"What are you thinking?"
Ning Chuchu seemed to feel Zhongli Ruoshui's faint sadness, she looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, and asked again, "Are you hiding something from me?"
The corners of Zhongli Ruoshui's mouth curled, and the smile on his face bloomed like a flower.
"What a thing!"
"Look at the rain ......"
Zhongli Ruoshui pointed to the rain outside the pavilion, "I'm thinking, people often say that spring rain is as expensive as oil, so what about this autumn rain?"
Without waiting for Ning Chuchu to answer, she said again:
In the eyes of the literati, this autumn rain is poetry, painting, melancholy sustenance, or ...... An umbrella, two people, the best reason to stand by the lake and snuggle up to each other. ā
"I'm thinking, if there is such an autumn rain on the shore of Huaping Lake at this time, it must be very beautiful. ā
Ning Chuchu was stunned, "Haven't you lived in Guangling City for a few years, haven't you seen the Huaping Lake in the autumn rain?"
Zhongli Ruoshui retracted his gaze, and a smile appeared on his face again, but there was a hint of regret in this smile.
"You don't believe it, but in fact, I was in Guangling City during those years...... Almost all of them are in Peach Blossom Villa, at most on that Peach Blossom Mountain. ā
"Of course, Guangling City has been there, but it is like a sightseeing tour. ā
"I have also been to see the autumn of Huaping Lake, but there is no such rain, but it is the time when the autumn is high and cool. ā
Zhongli Ruoshui's words dispelled Ning Chuchu's doubts, Ning Chuchu thought that Zhongli Ruoshui had lived in Guangling City for a longer time, and Zhongli Mansion was also in Guangling City.
Such an autumn rain is already melancholy, and she may be homesick.
"If you're bored in Kyoto, you can come to the palace as often as you used to!"
Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head and looked at Ning Chuchu, "What you said is not right, it should be that you want to come out of the palace more in the future, come here, and chat with Chen An more!"
Ning Chuchu's face turned red, he lowered his head slightly, and nodded after a moment's silence, "You, if you really don't mind, I will come often." ā
She looked up at Zhongli Ruoshui again, her gaze no longer wandering or dodging, as if she had made up her mind about this matter:
"I'll have to go back to the palace first. ā
"What's the hurry? It's not too late to leave after lunch, I'm afraid Chen An will be back soon." ā
"IāI want to go and see the prince's brother. ā
The girl's heart was a little urgent, and she was naturally in no mood to stay and eat at this time.
She really wanted to hear the opinion of the prince's brother, and of course, she also wanted the prince's brother to see Li Chenan-
In this way, the prince's brother will be relieved.
In this way, it will be more beneficial for Li Chenan to stay in Kyoto.
After all, the paper kite has quietly gone to the Huaiguo Mansion, if the Huaiguo Gong really has a way to let Li Chenan stand on top of that temple...... If he and the prince's brother can become friends, this is undoubtedly the best!
He's good.
I'm good too!
Ning Chuchu got up, looked at Zhongli Ruoshui carefully, and suddenly said a blessing to Zhongli Ruoshui as her princess!
This scared Zhongli Ruoshui.
But she said very seriously: "Whether I have that life or not...... We're all sisters!"
"You're a sister, I'm a sister!"
......
......
In Sun Huozi's small yard, Xiao Wu was chopping wood.
He had chopped a lot of wood, and he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Sun Tiexian leaned his back, standing under the eaves and watching Xiao Wu chop wood, he looked at it for a long time before turning his head to look at the wet autumn rain in the patio.
There were already raindrops falling from the eaves, on the bluestone slabs, or on the cluster of plantain leaves, making a ticking sound.
All of a sudden, it was cold.
After the Chukwak Festival, it is difficult for Kyoto to warm up again.
The year is afraid of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not far from the New Year, and the first snow in Kyoto is ...... It won't be too far either.
Today, he went to the Hou Mansion and came back not long ago.
He met Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Fan said that she would meet Li Chenan in the afternoon.
As for the third lady's illness...... Don't do that for the time being!
Does this mean to conceal Li Chenan?
Perhaps.
It's just that with the character of Miss San, will she tell Li Chen'an?
Sun Tiexian didn't know.
He just didn't want the third lady to die like this.
The medicine for the treatment of the third miss is only those two flavors, and the rest are ready, as long as the two flavors are obtained from the treasure pavilion in the palace, the third miss can live for two or three more years.
Two or three years is a short time.
But you can do a lot of things in two or three years, such as...... Leave her and Li Chen'an's children!
Sun Tiexian's slightly squinted old eyes suddenly revealed a sharp light!
He withdrew his gaze and walked in front of Xiao Wu.
The axe in Xiao Wu's hand did not go down again, and the grandfather and grandson just looked at each other.
"Have you learned the method I taught you to treat Miss Three?"
Sun Tiexian said with a gesture.
Xiao Wu nodded.
"That's good, I'm hungry. ā
Xiao Wu gestured a few times, meaning to go cook after chopping this pile of firewood.
Sun Tiexian was a little annoyed, but Xiao Wu babbled again.
What he meant......
It's going to be winter, so I need to burn some charcoal and send it to the third lady, otherwise...... She's going to be cold!
Sun Tiexian didn't say any more, thinking that the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion would be short of charcoal for the winter?
But this is Xiao Wu's intention.
Let him do it.
He turned to leave, stood in the autumn rain, looked up, and suddenly muttered: "This rain is very good, there is no moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it coincides with the Wenhui...... The old man is just going to take a walk in the Treasure Pavilion!"
