Song Mengtong fainted and was carried back to the Gaomen Mansion, and he knew about it, and he said it on his face, who knows what he would talk about in the ground? This made Mrs. Su angry, and she came to stay for a while and had a crooked thought.

The attitude towards the mother and daughter was not as good as a few days ago, and even let him say that he was not in good health and needed to rest, so he didn't have to ask for peace if he had nothing to do, and quietly called Su Mingrun and Su Mingyuan to tell them to stay away from Song Mengtong.

But it's just that Song Mengtong has a little bad intentions, I'm afraid that even Song Shu'er has a different kind of mind, and if she guards against the small ones, the big ones may not be able to prevent them.

There was a drizzle quietly in the night, and the wilted green plants were instantly full of life, and this continuous rain did not stop until early in the morning, but a puff of smoke rose, and the entire general's mansion was in an ethereal fairyland.

In this kind of weather, the masters and maids of each yard are reluctant to go out, not to mention wet shoes and socks, and it is extremely troublesome to work.

It was raining, and the entire General Su Mansion was silent, and the sound of rain falling on the glazed tiles and branches and leaves was particularly clear.

There is a bush of gardenias in the garden unattended, but I didn't expect it to be the most blooming flower bush in the whole yard, a few days ago, I even dropped several buds, I thought that this year's growth will not be very good, but I didn't expect that after a night of rain, it was all half-opened.

Su Xuan came back from outside, passing by the garden, he saw a dark goose yellow figure holding an umbrella hidden in a half-human-tall bush, that place seemed to be the corner where he planted gardenias.

Song Shu'er's well-maintained jade hand gently plucked the gardenias, each flower was still wet with rain, and you could smell the unique fragrance of gardenias when you got closer.

The maid stood aside with a basket, which was almost full.

All of Song Shuer's hair was loosely tied behind her head with a jasper hairpin, and she was wearing a dark goose yellow dress with simple embroidery on it, without any rouge gouache on her face, and she was dazzled by accident when she was in the smoke.

"I didn't expect the gardenias to bloom so well this year."

A man's voice suddenly sounded beside him, startling Song Shu'er to take a step back, and the rain on the umbrella turned into beads and fell again and again. The gentle facial features appear more vivid.

Song Shuer's whole body temperament is gentle and personal, and women are as gentle as water.

"My brother-in-law is not in the ministry today." Seeing the others clearly, Song Shuer saluted and said softly.

"Well, I've come back beforehand, and I'll see you here." Su Xuan looked away from her smooth neck and looked at the gardenia on the side. It is difficult to make such a great gift in front of him, and it is difficult not to see it.

Song Shu'er got up and saw that he didn't hold an umbrella, his shoulders had been soaked a lot, and he frowned slightly: "Give the umbrella to the second master, although the rain is light, it's not cost-effective to get sick." ”

Su Xuan took the umbrella handed over by the maid, and also saw the flowers in the basket and asked, "Why are you picking flowers on a rainy day?" ”

"My sister has been coughing non-stop recently, and Mengtong said that gardenia is used as medicine to suppress coughs, and she wants to make a sachet. The flowers that have been beaten by the rain will stay fragrant for a longer time, and this will not come out. ”

Song Shu'er's soft and slow voice penetrated into Su Xuan's ears, and in a trance, he remembered that his wife did have some coughs at night.

"These gardenias were planted casually, but I didn't expect them to have this effect."

"I didn't expect it to be my brother-in-law, so I'm welcome." Song Shu'er's eyes flashed with an obvious smile, and there was a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Even if you pick it, you will go out less on rainy days, and your illness will be like a thread." Su Xuan took one last look at Song Shu'er's skirt and turned to leave.

Song Shu'er looked down at herself stained with mud and skirt, her lips rose, and soon she picked the flowers and returned to the Ivy Courtyard.

When she eloped, her sister was not married, and at that time, she had also heard of Su Xuan in General Su's mansion, but she had never seen a real person. When I came to General Su's mansion, I felt warm and elegant at first sight, patient and gentle enough for his wife, and also friendly and had high hopes for his children. What if he is an idle official in the ministry? Such a temperamental man is perfect enough.

If she hadn't eloped at the time, then her sister's marriage ......

After noon, the light rain turned into moderate rain, and the water droplets fell from the eaves of the verandah at a faster pace, forming a curtain of water. Su Xiangsi had been lying on the bed for half an hour and had not yet fallen asleep.

I don't know why my heart has been beating wildly, and I feel uncomfortable, and I always feel like something is about to happen. There's always something flashing through my head that I can't grasp.

I couldn't sleep, so I got up, took a book casually and sat on the bed, I couldn't read a word, and in the end I could only throw the book on the desk with irritability, pinching my eyebrows with one hand.

Liu Fu and Rosin Xiang looked at each other suspiciously, Miss, what's the matter? In the past, I liked rainy days the most, and I refused to get up without sleeping for half an hour.

There is a small pile of loess in the open space outside the lattice window, which was used to fill the flower bed a few days ago and has not yet been cleaned up. When the rain becomes heavier, the loess on the top is washed down, staining the flat stone bricks and turning yellow. Su Xiangsi just glanced at it casually, and her brain immediately cleared up, and goosebumps crawled all over her body. His face suddenly turned pale.

With empty eyes, he hurriedly crawled down and almost fell to the ground.

"Miss!"

Liu Fu and Rosin also nervously supported Su Xiangsi, this was the first time that the young lady was so nervous, and her face was so embarrassed.

"Quick, take the umbrella and go to my grandfather."

The young lady was so anxious that something big must have happened, and she didn't dare to delay it too long. took the umbrella and chased the young lady out.

Su Xiangsi trotted all the way with an umbrella, not caring about the rain wetting her hair, and stepping on a small puddle on her feet and splashing her embroidered shoes with the rain. When he arrived in front of General Su's study, he was panting and in disarray.

After calming down, he lighted the door of the study, took a deep breath and went in after getting permission, and knelt directly in front of General Su's desk.

"Boy, what's going on? Why is it still raining? ”

The granddaughter came in in muddy water and knelt down without saying a word, she was really frightened, and she wanted to help the person in front of her but refused.

"Grandfather, I'm going to find Daddy." Su Xiangsi said firmly and seriously.

"Nonsense! Is that a place you can go? It's too dangerous for girls to go home. You have to trust your father. "General Su's eyebrows are beating, why can't this melon baby think about it, to join in that kind of excitement.

"Grandfather and granddaughter are really upset. I also hope that my granddaughter will be allowed to take a look and not cause trouble. ”

"Mian'er's family letter always comes back on time, and disaster relief will inevitably encounter small difficulties. I'm really not at ease if you're going to go to the capital. "General Su is honest, he can't leave the capital easily now. It's a long way to go to Heqing, in case of any accident, how can he explain to Sanfang.

"Grandfather, there are still loopholes in the whole plan sent back by my father, if he doesn't find out, what's the point of me being the only one left alive in the entire third room?" Su Xiangsi sniffed, and her tone gradually choked: "It's too late to let my granddaughter rush now, my granddaughter really can't bear to let an innocent soldier die in his hometown." ”

Old General Su's breath stagnated, his hands trembled visibly, and he said in disbelief: "Is there really a loophole?" ”

"Yes, it's true, granddaughters never lie."

Old General Su sat on the circle chair, looked at the letters on the table, and sighed loosely.

"You go and talk to your grandmother, and grandfather will arrange it for you now. It's just that it's not easy to travel on a rainy night, so you can rest. ”

Su Xiangsi kowtowed three times in a row and left the study, and immediately arranged the things to be prepared by catkins and rosin.

Mrs. Su was also very surprised when she knew, and she didn't agree with the attitude, how could any girl run to the disaster place. Su Xiangsi patiently analyzed the pros and cons, and Mrs. Su nodded in agreement.

Overnight, General Su's mansion knew from top to bottom that the third lady was going to Heqingcheng in person.
