"Bang!"

Huge lightning bolts pierced the sky, and rumbling thunder exploded in the clouds.

The pedestrians on the road were taken aback, and after cursing, they covered their heads and ran quickly.

In the shops on both sides of the street, a shopkeeper stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside the window, pouring down, and in an instant, there was no one in sight.

Water quickly accumulated on the ground, but fortunately, the sewer system in Bianjing City was doing a good job, and the water on the street flowed into the sewers on both sides, making a loud noise.

In such weather, business is deserted.

A guy came up to him and said, "It's raining too early this year. ”

The shopkeeper clasped his hands in front of him, looked at the sky, and said quietly: "In the Jianghuai area, it has been raining heavily a month ago. At this time, it rains heavily all over the country. ”

The guy said: "This year's New Year is really weird, in previous years, it was the rainy season until June, but now it's only May, and it's already raining for half a month." ”

Shopkeeper: "Yesterday's newspaper said that the water level of the Yellow River has risen again. ”

The guy didn't know why: "What's wrong with that?" ”

The shopkeeper glanced at him: "You strangers don't know that fifteen years ago, Bianjing was flooded by the Yellow River once. ”

The man was terrified: "Is there such a thing? ”

The shopkeeper said wistfully: "The people from the Ministry of Water and Water of the Ministry of Industry have been stationed on the edge of the Yellow River three days ago......

The man was horrified.

In his cognition, Bianjing is the imperial capital, blessed by the breath of the Son of Heaven, how could such a thing as flooding happen.

There are many people who think the same way as him.

However, many of the natives of Bianjing still remember the incident when the Yellow River burst and flooded Bianjing 15 years ago.

The focus of the news in the city today is not on the feudal clans who have entered Beijing one after another, but on the speculation about whether the Yellow River will break and whether the capital will be flooded again.

Meng Qingyun was also looking at the heavy rain outside the window.

Today is a day of rest.

The Jingcha examination is coming to an end, and the officials of the third class have just taken a break.

I couldn't go out in such weather, so Meng Jin was in the study and took a book to read.

Meng Qingyun drew a pattern on another long case.

She was very curious about the daily work of this ancient lady, and it was also because Asakusa and Bauhinia said that she had nothing to do all day long, so she found such a thing.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The sound of banging on the door outside was faintly heard through the rain curtain.

Meng Qingyun raised his head and said to Meng Jin: "I'm afraid that I'm here to find my father again." ”

During this inspection in Beijing, many military attachés were found to have set up false heads, eat empty salaries, derelict their duties, take bribes, and fail to repair military affairs.

Most of the military attachés' homes are reckless, and every once in a while, some people come to the gate to shout and scold, and even throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, which is very annoying.

The Meng family closed the door tightly, and only entered and exited through a small corner door on weekdays.

Meng Jin said: "It's raining so hard and coming to find fault, it's really full." ”

Zijing is not afraid of being lively, rolled up his sleeves and said: "I'll go, I want to see who is so rampant!" ”

didn't wait for her to go out, and the concierge outside asked the little maid to hand in a post, which was for Meng Qingyun.

"Not looking for bad luck?"

Meng Qingyun took it and took a look, the post of the princess's mansion.

Hearing that it was Princess Shouyang, Meng Jinxian frowned: "Are you very familiar with Princess Shouyang?" ”

Meng Qingyun said: "It's a friend." She briefly told her father about the events of the Buddha Bathing Festival.

Meng Jin said: "This Princess Shouyang has a good temperament, so it's better to have less contacts." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Meng Qingyun just asked, "I see that the girls of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Bianjing City seem to be very taboo about princesses, why is this?" ”

Meng Jin said: "When this princess was young, no one said that she was bad. When she became an adult, the official family pointed out a marriage to her, which was Huang Yunrui, the son of Huang Ci, the third envoy. Who knew that although Huang Yunrui had a good reputation outside, he secretly gambled with prostitutes, became promiscuous, and even had an affair with his cousin before marriage, which led to a secret knot in the bead fetus. ”

"Princess Shouyang is the only heir of the official family, naturally pampered and pampered, how can she stand such humiliation. actually tricked Huang Yunrui into the palace and ...... him with his own hands"

He couldn't say those words in front of Meng Qingyun, so he poked down with his hand and knife.

Meng Qingyun was shocked: "Emasculated? ”

"Ahem." Meng Jin hurriedly coughed twice.

In short, Huang Yunrui was inhumane from then on, and his cousin, who had an affair with him, committed suicide in shame because of the adulterous affair. Princess Shouyang also fell into a vicious name. ”

"Since then, this princess has become more and more dissolute, leaving all the worldly rules and constraints behind, and her temperament has become more and more willful."

"With the experience of the Huang family, no one dares to propose marriage to the princess again, so that he is in his twenties, and he has been delayed until now."

"In short, she is a princess of the heavenly family, moody, and if she gets annoyed, I don't know what kind of trouble she will make. You'd better stay away. ”

Meng Qingyun raised the post in his hand: "But the posts have already been sent, if I refuse, wouldn't I just offend her?" ”

Meng Jin said: "What is written in the post? ”

"Ask me to go to Bailu Tower tomorrow to see the five vassal kings enter Beijing at the same time."

Meng Jin raised his eyebrows: "I was busy with the Beijing inspection and big exam, but I ignored this matter." The vassal clans, have all arrived? ”

Meng Qingyun said: "A few days ago, I have already arrived, and they are all low titles. I heard that several vassal kings, when they arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, they learned that everyone was the front and back, and no one was willing to be the first to enter Beijing, so they all humbled up. ”

"Later, I simply said that everyone had arrived and entered Beijing together."

"But everyone's fiefdoms are different, some come from the south, some come from the north, and they are not too troublesome, they all go around Bianjing City, gather at Jinyaomen in the west, and agree to enter the city together tomorrow."

"The King of Qin, the King of Zhao, the King of Wei, the King of Chu, the King of Han, plus the King of Qi in Beijing, these are the six who are now knighted."

Meng Jin narrowed his eyes: "The six kings entered the capital, and the wind and rain in this Bianjing city are only afraid that it will be even greater." ”

"Then this post ......" Meng Qingyun was still holding the post in his hand.

Meng Jin thought for a while and said, "It's okay to make a scene on the spot, just don't have a deep friendship with her." ”

"Yes."

Although Meng Qingyun agreed, he was a little unimpressed. Although Princess Shouyang has a stinky face, she is straightforward and not difficult to socialize.

Some people are worried about the wind and rain in Bianjing, but some people are just afraid that the excitement is not big enough, and Princess Shouyang is a typical one.

The next day, it was still raining, but the rain was fine, and I was able to go out.

Meng Qingyun came to the alum building as promised.

Among the five buildings of the alum building, the west building is the largest. The place where Princess Shouyang was set was on the top floor of the West Building.

There was no elevator this year, so Meng Qingyun struggled to go up to the top floor.

Entering the door was a three-bay hall, frighteningly spacious, with a thick carpet on the floor, and silent walking. The hall is lit with sandalwood, and in addition to the light smoke, there is also a drying effect, so that people will not feel damp in the room on such a rainy day.

The three large windows facing north are all open, and Princess Shouyang leans against the windows.

Hearing the voice, she turned around and beckoned to Meng Qingyun: "Come here, they're in the city!" ”
