The sky is darkening, and the wind and rain are rising.

This year's Yangzhou City surprisingly rarely rains, and it has not been until now that the rain has fallen.

The rain poured down, and the whole Yangzhou city was smoky and foggy, and the raindrops as big as peas fell on the roof, and there was a crisp sound.

It rained and slept well.

But the sound of such a heavy rain is too much for people to sleep.

Truman got up early in the morning.

When it rains, he can't practice in the morning, so he can only practice internal strength and Yijin Sutra in the house.

In an instant, the true qi was lingering in this room, and Truman was also immersed in cultivation.

But he didn't let him practice for too long, so Xiao Zhen came over and said that it was good for breakfast.

After withdrawing from the practice and answering, Truman rubbed his body and prepared to walk outside the house.

But before he could reach the door, he paused.

"Sooner or later, you should eat first, my cultivation is at a critical point, and I can't leave."

After saying this, after hearing Xiao Zhen's answer, he returned to bed again.

His words were naturally an excuse.

Now that it is raining heavily, Li Lianyi, who should have gone to Jiudingmen to report a long time ago, naturally stayed.

And on the table for this breakfast, there is one more woman.

Last night alone, with Ji Anlan and the three of them, Truman was difficult to deal with.

If there is one more person at this time, then maybe something will happen again.

That's why he postponed his cultivation as a result.

After confirming that Xiao Zhen was leaving, Truman was not ready to continue practicing.

As he walked out the door, he headed for his study.

Then, it was in it that he took a book and read it.

Chen Pinli didn't leave much behind, but this book was completely preserved.

Come to think of it, there are thousands of books in this study, and it is too difficult to relocate.

The study used to be circular, and the books were placed around the perimeter, with three floors.

Truman took the small ladder and searched for it on the second floor.

After seeing a book that I was interested in, I jumped down the small ladder and walked to the desk to read it.

Sleepless nights.

I don't know how long it took for a burst of footsteps to sound in the pouring rain.

Look up.

It was Xiao Xiao Xiaohua, and the two of them were walking over with two plates and bowls.

It was filled with some food.

"Sir, we're here with food."

Walking to the door, Xiaohua shouted and reminded.

Truman put the book down and said, "Come in." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them nodded, and then walked into the study.

Truman said again: "Let's put it next to it first, I'll eat it later." ”

"Yes."

At the moment when the two of them put the food on the table, Truman opened his mouth again.

He coughed first, and then said, "By the way, what happened at the dinner table?" ”

Xiaohua replied suspiciously: "Madame and a few girls talked and laughed, nothing happened, did the master notice something?" ”

Nothing happened.

Truman looked puzzled.

Then he said, "No, nothing." ”

"Well, you guys should leave."

"Yes."

The two daughters retired.

After the two women retreated, Truman thought again.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't come up with anything.

Shaking his head, he smiled helplessly, and then began to read the book again.

After reading it for a while, he put down the book and began to eat.

Although the food has cooled down a lot, but now in April, the weather is also getting warmer, and with Truman's body, it is okay to eat something cold.

And while Truman was eating, Xiaohua Xiaoxiao came over with Xiaohong and Xiaozi and a group of four.

"Sir!"

Ordinary maids rarely come to the study, and at this time, the four of them came, but they hadn't taken anything yet, and Truman was inevitably puzzled.

So he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiaohua said: "It was Madame who confessed, and said that she would get two boxes of cloth." ”

"Two boxes of cloth?"

How could the two boxes of cloth Chumen not know that this was exactly what he had received from Silong Pavilion when he went to Dongping City first.

Of the ten boxes, eight have been sold, leaving only two for their own use.

Originally, he had been on the big ship, but then he moved it all over as he moved.

"What are you doing with this cloth?"

He asked again.

Xiaohua replied, "This lady didn't say it explicitly. ”

Truman paused and thought about it again, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't come up with a reason.

The hand clicked on the switch of the chair next to it, and the bookshelf next to it opened, revealing a passageway.

"All right, go down and get it, it's on the outermost edge."

"Yes."

The four women nodded, and then walked into the secret room.

Truman was naturally not afraid that the four of them would take the things in the secret room.

One is that they have followed him for a long time, and he trusts them very much, and the other is that there is nothing in the secret room except for the two boxes of cloth and dozens of boxes of gold.

Cloth and gold weigh differently, so it is very easy to distinguish between them.

The four women carried the cloth box and quickly walked out of the secret room.

The boxes of cloth were very light, and they naturally did not have much effort.

After saying goodbye to Truman, they walked out of the house with the suitcase.

And Truman also sat on the chair and continued to eat.

I didn't eat all morning, and Truman ate with relish.

Soon, I ate two dishes and a bowl of rice.

Some of them stood up and were about to stretch their waists, but a person came up again.

It's the moon.

She held two pieces of cloth in her hands.

One piece of cloth was crimson, the other was a light red with a hint of gold.

As soon as she approached, Yueyue handed two pieces of cloth to Truman.

"The princess asks you, which of these two pieces of cloth looks better."

Truman was still puzzled, but looking at the other party's cold face, he couldn't speak.

After scanning the two pieces of cloth for a while, Truman pointed to the golden sermon and said, "This one." ”

After getting Truman's answer, Yueyue didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away.

Only a confused Truman was left in place.

......

Just as Truman stopped standing still and turned back to read a book, a footstep sounded behind him again.

Truman sighed helplessly, "What are you doing again?" ”

But when he turned his head to look at the comer, his expression was stunned.

After staring at the visitor for a long time, he said apologetically: "I don't mean you, I mean those ignorant maids." ”

"I know."

She said in a flat tone.

got such a bland answer from the other party, and Truman was speechless for a while.

He just pointed to a chair and said very awkwardly, "You, you sit down first." ”

The person who came didn't sit down, she said straight to the point: "I didn't come to sit down with you and sigh, I just wanted to ask you a word." ”

"Can I marry you?"
