Chapter 81: Rain Tonight
Ask for collections,
Luodu was originally the place where the Northern Wei Imperial Palace was located, and now the Luodu Palace of the Great Sui, a large area on its east side is the current Luodu powerful family settlement area, and the two are connected together to form the inner city of Luodu today.
This area is unfamiliar to Xiao Mo, but the former owner of Xiao Mo's body lives here. And Xiao Mo himself also came to the inner city once, but at that time, Xiao Mo came to the Wang family to make an appointment, and he had not visited the inner city of Luodu.
In the east side of the Wang family in the past a few streets, there is an antique garden-style mansion, if this mansion is from the sky to look down, the area is not as large as the palace, but the structure of this mansion is very chic, nine in and nine out, quite distinctive.
At this time, outside a small courtyard in this mansion, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in pink clothes was a little sneaky, sneaking up against the wall, poking her head out from time to time to look around, and after confirming that no one was coming, she continued to move forward, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.
The girl walked to a window, gently buttoned the edge of the window three times, and then barked like a cat.
After a while, the window suddenly opened, and out of it came a little head with a tiger's head, and when I looked closely, it was a boy who was smaller than the girl.
The tiger-headed boy looked around vigilantly, and complained to the girl in pink: "Big sister! Don't scare me, don't you, both of us are still in confinement, and if someone finds out, we'll be dead! ”
When the girl in pink heard this, she smiled indifferently and said, "Fei Yu, have you heard about last night's incident?" ”
The boy listened, nodded seriously, and said: "Naturally, I heard about this, it is said that last night there was a sudden glow in the sky, illuminating half of Luodu, but I was sleeping so deeply that I didn't notice it at all." Eldest sister, you are well-informed, tell me if there is really auspiciousness? ”
When the girl in pink heard this, she first glanced at the boy with disdain, and then lowered her head and said mysteriously: "Feiyu, do you know, now the whole city is crazy, it is said that this glow is called fireworks, it is very strange and beautiful!" And it is said that the imperial court is testing some secret arts, which is of great use!
But we can't control this, and we don't mention this, the key is that you know? It is rumored outside that this firework was made by the second brother! Also, the most powerful thing is that it is said that the six guards of the Son of Heaven suddenly appeared in Luodu a few days ago, and it seems that they are also specially for the second brother. ”
The boy listened incredulously and said, "What! Second brother? Eldest sister, are you sure it's the second brother? Is it our second brother? This news is too unbelievable! Although the second brother has been the most popular among the younger generation in Luodu recently, it is not as exaggerated as rumored, right? ”
The girl said with a smug face: "What do you know about a hairy boy!" Since she was a child, she has always said that the second brother is very powerful, but you don't believe it, now you know how powerful this girl is!
Hehe, I have always hurt me the most when I beat the little second brother, and the last time I ran out, I saw the second brother, and the second brother is really good now! But the second brother has become a little less affectionate now, and he actually disciplined me! Don't take me to play yet! Hum!
This time, whether it was the fireworks made by the second brother or not, and whether the rumors were true or not, this girl decided to go out to see the second brother again.
Feiyu, you have to help your sister this time, otherwise! Be careful of your sister beating you! ”
As soon as the boy heard this, he immediately held his head in his hands and said with a look of grievance: "Eldest sister! You're going to sneak out, huh? Last time I was scolded by my mother, and I am still in confinement. ”
The girl smiled when she heard this: "Feiyu, I believe in my sister!" It's okay to keep it! Erniang loves you so much, and she loves me so much, she will definitely not punish us, the big deal is to be confined again! Besides, if something really happens, don't you still have to carry it for my sister? ”
The boy bowed his head in recognition of this, and the girl had an expression of excitement and success in her plan.
Also in this mansion, in a very chic courtyard, a young man in his early twenties was respectfully standing in front of a beautiful woman and bowing his head to explain something.
"Mother, it is said that the glow in the sky last night was made by that, and there has been some unrest in the house lately. Regardless of up and down, the faint call for that cheap breed to come back is getting higher and higher, and even the old man seems to have this intention. ”
When this beautiful woman heard this, she frowned and said: "Among the family, what they care about the most is nothing more than the word profit, and the Xiao family is naturally no exception.
What the old man values is not the cheap seed, but even the old man Han, who has not been born for many years, is now closely related to the cheap species, and the Wang family even tied the cheap seed to their own boat early.
It's not surprising that our old man has the idea of letting that cheap seed come back, and the old man Han alone is worthy of our old man's efforts, not to mention the Han family and the Wang family. ”
When the young man heard this, he replied in a low voice: "Mother, are we going to do something?" ”
After hearing this, he frowned and shook his head and said: "It's too late to do it now, and when your father arranged that cheap seed in Buyi Lane, he had already cut off the way for us to do it secretly."
And even if we want to do it, it can't be arranged by us personally, you can go to your cousin to discuss this matter, for my mother believes that with Qing'er's wisdom, there will be a reliable way.
Besides, you don't have to worry, even if that cheap seed goes back to the Xiao family, so what? This family rule has been passed down for so many years, when has it been the turn of a concubine to be in charge? What's more, that is not even as good as a concubine! ”
When the young man heard this, he smiled a little, nodded and said, "My cousin is one of the two pearls of Naluodu, and he is naturally very wise, but if that really comes back and finds out about his mother, what will he do?" ”
Hearing this, he snorted coldly and said: "The death of that cheap maid has long been decided, and she died of a sudden illness, but she can't complain about others, and now she has no proof of death." Besides, the Xie family and the Yuwen family have already made a marriage contract, and your cousin will marry into the Yuwen family next year. The two families are married, your mother and I are the eldest lady of the original Xie family, and if there is no proof of death, what can the cheap breed do with us? ”
After hearing this, the young man understood, and then turned and walked out of the house.
At the same time, the girl in pink successfully slipped out of the courtyard in the water of the whole mansion, and the tiger-headed boy became the scapegoat of the bitterness.
After the girl slipped out of the yard, she immediately grimaced at the man who was secretly protecting her not far behind her, and then ran away in the distance. It seems that she simply knows everything that has just happened, and that someone is secretly protecting her. However, this did not affect her happy mood sneaking out at this time.
The girl's performance made the man who was secretly protecting not far behind the girl also show a helpless expression.
Today's sky is clear, the blue sky is as blue as a wash, it should be a good day, but it is really difficult for Xiao Mo. No matter how bad this artificial rain is, if there are no clouds, it will be nonsense.
But luckily, after lunch, God finally gave enough face, and large clouds like marshmallows slowly appeared in the sky.
Then the ox carts loaded with hundreds of giant special fireworks, under the escort of the Luodu garrison, slowly marched towards Longmen Mountain, which had already been selected outside the city and made all preparations.
Xiao Mo, the inventor of special fireworks, naturally needs to go with him personally, although the methods and requirements have already been explained, but Quan Zhian feels that this first test still needs to be completed by Xiao Mo himself.
Xiao Mo didn't understand it at first, even if he had to do it himself, could it be that he could still ignite and release hundreds of giant fireworks at the same time? It's a good idea to put a flare at most at that time.
Later, Xiao Mo gradually figured out that although Quan Zhian had seen the secret technique of the Immortal Palace that he had never seen last night, Quan Zhian still had doubts about Qi Yu in his heart. Pressing Xiao Mo away in this way can also be regarded as a kind of defense.
Coincidentally, Xiao Mo was just about to set off, but Zhiqing, the girl, came again.
This time, this girl didn't come for anything important, but to deliver information for Sihailou.
Naturally, it's not for anything else, because tomorrow will enter May, and it's only a few days left before the drums and flowers are picked, Sihailou hopes that Xiao Mo can go to Sihailou before this, and finally run in with Yun Yuhan in the matter of performing arts. In the words of later generations, it means a final rehearsal.
Before Zhiqing left, Xiao Mo specially reminded Zhiqing again, saying that there might be rain tonight, so Zhiqing collected everything that should be collected in the evening.
Zhiqing was very puzzled when she heard Xiao Mo's words, the sky was full of stars last night, and the sky was clear this morning, obviously it was not a rainy celestial phenomenon, why was it raining tonight? However, Zhiqing thought about it once, it seemed that Young Master Xiao looked at the ants in a daze, and also said that it was going to rain, could it be that this time it was the same?
This Longmen Mountain is not far from Luodu, which is built by the mountains and rivers. However, the height of Longmen Mountain is not low, and the highest part of the mountain range is still more than 2,000 meters above sea level.
Fortunately, there has been a road up the mountain on Longmen Mountain since ancient times, and Longmen Mountain itself is not a steep mountain on all sides. In addition, in the past few days, the internal guards of the Yulin Army have deliberately made two big hanging baskets on the mountain, and Xiao Mo and the others can be directly pulled up the mountain, which really saves Xiao Mo's small body a lot of effort.
Although this big hanging basket has a bit of an elevator feeling, the process on it is really shocking, too dangerous and unsafe.
Because the height of Longmen Mountain is sufficient, and the clouds are also abundant, when you look down at the top of the mountain, you can only see layers of white fog, and you can't see the foot of the mountain.
Therefore, Xiao Mo was not worried that when hundreds of giant fireworks exploded at the same time at night, the light would travel too far and cause a commotion in Luodu. In such an environment, some mountain people around Longmen Mountain can see it. It will definitely not illuminate most of Luodu like last night.
It's just that Xiao Mo has made a lot of calculations, but he only missed a king's big mouth.
Xiao Mo kindly reminded this goods, saying that there may be rain tonight, let this goods go back and pay more attention, especially the flour that the Wang family is about to launch, don't go wrong because of the sudden rain.
And this goods are good, I didn't go home at all, I went directly to Sihailou, and I bragged that there was rain tonight, and I swore it! As long as others question it, this thing will take Xiao Mo to talk about it, saying that this is the prophecy of Xiao Dagongzi, the inheritor of the secret art of the Immortal Palace, just wait and see if you don't believe it.
In this way, the news spread all of a sudden, and people couldn't help but be more curious about what the eldest young master of the Wang family said about it tonight.
