Chapter 120: After the Rain

The raindrops frantically smashed down on the narrow window lattice, and snapped open again, as if playing a rapid lute song. Luo Yan sat on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, a candle flame danced at the head of the bed and shone in a dim light. Rong Xi's sleeping face was in the light, and the corners of his mouth were curled with a smile.

Luo Yan looked at it stupidly, I don't know what kind of good dream Rong Xi had again!

Xianggong, don't I love you? Luo Yan muttered. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shone into the narrow window lattice, and there was a loud explosion. Luo Yan's heart suddenly throbbed when she was moved, and she hurriedly stroked her chest, "Xianggong, I really like you!" ”

Rong Xi turned over and fell into a deep sleep, Luo Yan lay down gently, nestled on Rong Xi's chest, Rong Xi's even breathing, made Luo Yan feel warm and peaceful......

I woke up early in the morning and the rain stopped. After a night of heavy rain, the entire Rong Mansion looks extraordinarily clear and refreshing. Only the remnants of red and fallen flowers on the ground can make people remember the devastation of yesterday's wind and rain.

Jiu'er came in and asked Luo Yan, do you still want to prepare a carriage and horses to go to Qixia Mountain? Luo Yan waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to go. The road must be slippery on the mountain, and the quarrying has to be stopped for the past two days. Rong Xi knew that he didn't need to go to the mountain, and happily shouted that he wanted to go to the long street to watch a game of chess.

Luo Yan responded to him with a smile, and the two were about to go out. The little maid outside the garden came in to report, and there was a prince He outside the gate who asked to see him.

Luo Yan knew that He Kunlun was coming, so she hurriedly motioned for Jiu'er to greet her.

"He came uninvited, disturbing the two of you!" He Kunlun saw Luo Yan holding Rong Xi out of the mansion to greet him, with a smile on his face.

Luo Yan held Rong Xi's arm, stood in front of the mansion and nodded and smiled at He Kunlun, she was wearing coarse cloth and plain clothes in the sunlight after the rain, looking simple and warm.

Luo Chan sent Yang Wan's old clothes that day, and Qing'er secretly came over in the evening, sent a few clothes that she didn't wear, and told Luo Yan not to wear those old clothes......

Luo Yan's heart is warm and cold, what is warm is the care of the maid Qing'er, and what is cold is the affection of the sisters, which makes people's teeth cold and cold.

"Lady, there are guests!" Rong Xi saw He Kunlun smiling with a spring breeze. Although the fabric style of the clothes on Rong Xi's body is gorgeous, the size is too short. Under the hem of the robe was a pair of frayed boots.

Jiu'er stepped forward to invite He Kunlun into the door, and whispered that Luo Yan couldn't speak for the time being. He Kunlun was a little surprised, he heard He Yuan say that Luo Yan's house was burned, but he didn't hear that Luo Yan lost her voice.

The maids and mothers-in-law who came and went in the Rong Mansion saw Luo Yan and Rong Xi bringing the people into the door. I don't seem to care. Some nodded politely at them, and most of them walked over intently.

Luo Yan was accustomed to the snubbing of the Rong family's slaves and maids, and was about to take He Kunlun to Cuiyuan, when Mrs. Cheng and Zhu Xingru led a group of people from the direction of Taoyuan to return to Yonglu Tower.

Mrs. Cheng stopped, "Isn't this the young master of the He family?" How do you have time to come to the house? He Kunlun smiled and greeted Mrs. Cheng. He also said: "The little nephew has nothing to do, come and talk to the third master and the third grandmother." ”

Mrs. Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't believe how He Kunlun could know Rong Xi and Luo Yan. Rong Mansion and He Mansion occasionally move around, all in the love of Mrs. Rong and Mrs. He.

"If you have time to sit in Yonglu Building, Rong Jue is going to the capital for the autumn test after a while, so I have to go to your He family's champion building to ask for a lottery." Mrs. Cheng smiled brightly. Zhu Xingru and Rong Jue are happy, she started to gather last night, and today she is going to set up a table and banquet in Yonglu Building to celebrate.

"Among the four masters, there are dragons and phoenixes, and he must get high school in the autumn exam, and he will go to the champion building. It will make the champion building famous! ”

After Mrs. Cheng and He Kunlun finished entertaining, they turned their eyes to look at Rong Jue again, and said with a smile: "People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, I saw it from a distance just now, I thought it was Rong Jue!" This dress was made for Jue'er two years ago, and I always remember this fabric......

"Mother-in-law is too tired in the past two days, her eyes are not good, no matter how I look at it, I don't look like the prince in a dragon robe! How can a fool compare with me! Zhu Xingru flattened her mouth with a look of disdain.

Luo Yan's face was calm, and she glanced at Zhu Xingru coldly. Zhu Xingru looked at Luo Yan's eyes, a little unhappy. said coquettishly to Mrs. Cheng: "Mother-in-law, when I look at her eyes, this stomach is uncomfortable." Let her stay in her own room, and let me be upset when she comes out less. ”

He Kunlun had already seen Rong Xi and Luo Yan's situation. He looked at Zhu Xingru with a smile, "Presumably this is the fourth master's lady!" Since it's uncomfortable, I still go back to the house to rest, and it's easy to make people ugly when upset. ”

Zhu Xingru glanced at He Kunlun, and Mrs. Cheng pulled Zhu Xingru over: "Okay, hurry up and go back and rest." It's only been a month, and I'm so bad......"

Luo Yan looked at Mrs. Cheng and Zhu Xingru and her party walking away. The gaze in his eyes softened a little. She glanced at He Kunlun apologetically, and then looked at Rong Jue, the clothes that the old lady sent to the treasure chest were Rong Jue's, if she knew at that time, she would definitely not let Rong Jue wear them.

He Kunlun asked to go to Muxi Garden to have a look, Luo Yan nodded, and pulled Rong Yu and He Kunlun into the burned garden together. The garden was littered with charred debris, and there was no place to stay.

Luo Yan stood still, took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to He Kunlun, which said to rebuild a Muxi Garden. He Kunlun laughed, "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come!" Be sure to build a better one. ”

"That's what the slave said!" Jiu'er happily agreed. Luo Yan motioned to Jiu'er and asked He Kunlun how much silver would be needed to rebuild?

He Kunlun walked around the garden, "It depends on what scale the third grandmother wants to build, if it is a house with two courtyards and a few rooms, it is not expensive, according to the current production profit of Qixia Mountain, it is almost enough to sell stones for a year." ”

He Kunlun looked back at Luo Yan's thoughtful appearance and said: "If you want to build exquisitely, make some garden pavilions, you can sell stones for two years." If you include a peach forest in the back, there are front and back gardens, creek bridges and pavilions, plus a few courtyards and a nine-curved promenade, and you can sell stones for eight years and ten years, which can also be realized. ”

Luo Yan's expression was a little gloomy, ten or eight years seemed too long...... She asked Jiu'er to bring paper and pen, and Jiu'er took out paper, pens and inkstones from the cloth bag she carried, dipped the water in the bluestone pothole, polished the ink, and handed them to Luo Yan.

He Kunlun walked over and saw Luo Yan writing how much does it cost to build only three houses that can live in people? For how long?

He Kunlun smiled, seeing the firmness in Luo Yan's eyes, knowing that she was not joking, he said: "If you say that as long as you can live in a people's house, it doesn't cost much to build a bamboo and wood one, and the materials are sufficient, and it can be built in two days." ”

Luo Yan nodded, and had an idea in her heart.

He Kunlun went to Cuiyuan to sit for a while, took out a silver ticket and asked Luo Yan and Rong Xi to accept it, and then got up to say goodbye. Luo Yan was also not polite, accepted the silver ticket, and Rong Xi wanted to send He Kunlun out of the house. He Kunlun insisted on letting them stay, and Jiu'er led He Kunlun to the mansion gate.

Luo Yan and Rong Xi stood at the door of Cuiyuan, watching He Kunlun leave. Luo Yan pinched the silver ticket, her eyes shining brightly.

"Third grandmother." The treasure chest walked from behind him, looked in the direction Luo Yan was looking, and then retracted his gaze and said softly: "Baoqin was sent out by the second lady." ”

When Rong Xi heard Baoqin's name, he turned around and looked at the treasure chest, repeating, "Baoqin." Seeing that Luo Yan was still looking at Jiu'er and He Kunlun's distant figures, the treasure chest said: "I heard that Baoqin was sold to the Ding family in the west of the city and given to the Ding family's uncle......

Luo Yan retracted her gaze, her expression was calm, and she nodded at the treasure chest. She doesn't care where Baoqin goes, what she cares about now is to build a few houses, pick up her parents-in-law back, and reunite the family, although bitter and sweet......
