Chapter Fifty-Eight: Warmth Under the Rainstorm
Although the lake in the garden is not very large, the wind and clouds are surging at this time, and the lake water is also surging, and the three boats moored on the shore of the island rise and fall with the rise and fall of the lake, hitting the solid rocks on the shore one by one, as if they want to rush to the shore to avoid the wind and waves.
Shang Jinglan and Shang Jinghui's little sisters pointed to the dark clouds that were coming from the sky and shouted: "The clouds are pressed down, the clouds are pressed down, ahhhh β
Dark clouds spread over the large hosta flowers on the east shore of the lake, and the sound of the rain falling on the flowers and leaves could be heard as a dense and vast sound.
One of Shang Lanran's girls shouted, "Hurry up and get on the boat to avoid the rain." β
Zhang Yuan said: "No, this boat is bumpy with the waves, and it is unstable for children to get on the boat." β
The old servant woman Liang's mother said: "Go to the pavilion to hide from the rain, and then go back after the rain." β
Zhang Yuan and Wu Ling stepped aside, and let a few servants take Shang Jinglan and Shang Jinghui sisters up first, and Shang Jinghui also beckoned to Zhang Yuan: "Brother Zhang Gongzi, go to the pavilion quickly, the rain is coming." β
The boat that Wuling found had no canopy, so of course Zhang Yuan wanted to go up to the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Run, the rain is chasing after you." β
The little beauty Shang Jinghui "Gege" smiled, took Zhou Chuan's mother's hand, and climbed one stone step at a time, climbing very quickly.
Shang Ran and the two maids walked behind, walked more than ten steps, Shang Ran looked back, and saw that Zhang Yuan's master and servant were still standing there, so he said: "The two of you also go to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain first, don't rush to row back at this time." β
A simple word of concern, not any affection, this girl is just worried that the young man is reckless or novel, and will row away from the island regardless of the wind and rain, so there may be danger, she did not indifferent because of her poor impression of Zhang Yuan, and temporarily put aside the shyness of men and women, and reminded her.
Zhang Yuan's heart jumped a little, oh, the feeling of pounding heart is like this, just saw this girl for the first time, the feeling that Shang Jinghui suddenly grew ten years old also made his heart move, that is because of Shang Yanran's beauty, and this time, it is kindness.
Zhang Yuan said: "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Shang will go up first, and we will run up in the next breath." "Looking at Shang Ran lifting his clothes lightly, his waist swaying lightly, and his steps briskly climbing up the stairs-
This business should be untied!
The young master didn't move, and Xiao Xi Nu Wuling also stood there stunned, watching the lake surging and slapping on the shore, the rain had already fallen on the lake, the lake was wrinkled, and suddenly felt a cold forehead, and a few large raindrops sprinkled on the door of the head-
Wu Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Young Master, the rain is falling!" β
Zhang Yuan shouted: "Run!" The master and servant quickly rushed to the island pavilion, more than ten zhang distance, and it took only a moment to chase after the splashing rain, and caught up at the moment when the two ran into the pavilion, and sprinkled the two of them with a face before sweeping the pavilion, and the entire island in the middle of the lake was shrouded in the rain.
Running into the pavilion, Zhang Yuan laughed and gasped, his heart beat fast, wiped the raindrops on his face with his sleeves, and then looked at the situation in the pavilion, and saw that the six servant women formed a meat barrier, and then there were two maids, and on the south side of the pavilion were Shang Junran, Shang Jinglan, and Shang Jinghui's aunt and nephew.
The rain rustled down, the water on the lake was misty, the clouds were low, and the sky was so dark that it was impossible to see the shore of the lake half a mile away, and it was like an island in the middle of the ocean.
Shang Xiangran turned her back to Zhang Yuan, her back was quiet and slender, she faced the outside of the pavilion, held Xiao Jinghui in one hand, and said to Shang Jinglan: "Xiaolan, do you remember that there is a poem about rain, recite a poem to your aunt?" β
Xiao Jinghui said enthusiastically: "Auntie, aunt, I remember that I remember, Xiao Hui recited first-" and recited crisply: "I don't know when I sleep in spring, I hear birds everywhere, the sound of wind and rain comes at night, and I know how many flowers fall." β
Shang Jinglan was preempted by her sister, a little unhappy, and said: "You can only memorize these two poems, and it just so happens that one of them is written about rain, Xiaohui, your luck is really good." β
Shang Ran smiled and said: "Xiaolan, don't worry, there are several poems about rain, my aunt taught you, you think about it carefully." β
Unexpectedly, Shang Jinghui shouted again: "Auntie, aunt, I remember two more sentences - good rain knows the season, when spring happens - I don't remember what Xiaohui is behind, and my sister didn't read it clearly, it seems that there are a lot of big red flowers after the rain." β
Nine-year-old Shang Jinglan was about to cry, and her sister snatched a poem about rain, which made her go where to find it, and said with a crying voice: "If you have the ability, you can memorize the whole poem, and I will obey you." β
Six-year-old Xiao Jinghui said: "I only remembered this sentence when I listened to my sister recite poems, and my sister recited the whole poem to my aunt." β
Shang Jinglan said angrily: "You memorized a sentence, I won't recite it, I'll think about it separately." The stubborn little girl bit her lip and thought, the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't think of it.
Shang Ran reminded: "Wang Majie has a song, Xiaolan will memorize it-"
"Huh." Shang Jinglan immediately remembered this reminder, and recited it aloud: "Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. β
Shang Ran praised: "By the way, this is this one, Xiaolan memorized it word for word." β
Shang Jinghui said: "It turned out to be this one, then I also know that my aunt also sang this poem when she played the piano." β
Shang Ran pinched the soft little hands of the little niece and said with a smile: "Yes, the song is called "Yangguan Song", which expresses poetry with rhythm. β
Zhang Yuan on the other side of the pavilion smiled at the corner of his mouth, quietly listening to the warm questions and answers of the three aunts and nephews of the Shang family, and couldn't help but think of his sister Zhang Ruoxi, when he was young, his sister also taught him to read and memorize poems.
"Brother Zhang Gongziβ"
Xiao Jinghui walked up to Zhang Yuan at some point, raised his little face and asked, "Brother Zhang Gongzi, can you recite the poem of the rain?" β
Zhang Yuan wanted to pinch the little girl's pink face, and stretched out his hand and felt inappropriate, this was not his niece or niece, it was not easy to move, but unfortunately he had neither nieces nor nieces, and his sister Zhang Ruoxi's two children were boys-
Zhang Yuan half-squatted and said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Jinghui remembers so many poems about rain, then I will also recite one, does Su Shi and Su Dongpo know?" β
"Yes." Shang Jinghui said crisply: "My little aunt loves Su Dongpo's poems the most. β
"Well, I read this poem called "Youmeitang Heavy Rain", which was written by Su Dongpo."
"Heavy rain? Okay, okay, oh, my sister and I read a few poems that seem to be light rain, I haven't read the poems of heavy rain, Brother Zhang Gongzi read them quickly. β
This little girl is so cute, Zhang Yuanqu flicked his fingers on her pink left cheek, and the blow was broken, but fortunately it was not broken, and read:
"There was a thunder at the bottom of the tourist's feet, and the stubborn clouds could not be removed; The black wind blows the sea outside the sky, and the rain in eastern Zhejiang crosses the river. It is very turbulent and convex, and a thousand rods are beating the sonorous drums; Evoke the fairy spring sprinkled noodles, pour the shark room and pour out the Qiong rose. β
Shang Ran was a little surprised, because when she asked her two nieces, what she thought of was this poem "Youmeitang Heavy Rain", this poem was written about the heavy rain in Wushan in West Lake, which is very similar to the situation today, but this young man recited it, and listened to Zhang Yuan tell Xiaohui the meaning of the poem in detail, and said it very thoroughly, and said: "When Mr. Zhang Suzhi's fourth son Zhang Qipan came to visit his eldest brother the year before last, he drank and talked for a long time, and he was full of spirits. When you want to read, you will naturally read hard, and the last to come first, than the one who has studied hard since childhood, is it more thorough, Sanyin Zhang's talent, is this really the case? β
Shang Jinghui came over, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Xiaohui has learned a poem again, writing heavy rain, good poems, taught by Brother Zhang Gongzi." β
Shang Ran nodded and said, "It's indeed a good poem." β
Shang Jinghui said: "Auntie, I will memorize this poem-" The little girl was in a hurry to perform, so she memorized it, forgot a sentence in the middle, and stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to ask Zhang Yuan at the end of the pavilion.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "A thousand canes beat the sonorous drum and urge it, and beat the drum." β
"Yes, yes, it's hard to remember." Shang Jinghui went down again.
Shang Ran boasted: "Xiao Huiji's surname is really good. β
