On March 27, the weather was sunny and rainless.

On March 28, the weather was still sunny and rainless.

Seeing that the weather was afraid that it would not rain for the whole of March, Zhong Yu finally made up his mind.

Early that morning, she specially asked a few bold children to come over and teach the child a piece of music she had composed in the past two days.

Since she came up with this idea, she has thought about it repeatedly, learned the lessons of the students last time, and deliberately made the lyrics and songs easy to understand, more like children's songs, catchy, and suitable for children to sing by mouth.

Because the lyrics and songs are popular, children will hum at will when they play games.

Children also love to learn to speak, you learn from me, I learn from him, just a few days, this children's song has been sung all over the streets.

"The stars are dense, the raindrops are dropping. The stars are sparse, and the weather is good. The stars are bright, and the sun is shining......"

"The sun and the moon change, the cold and heat alternate, the tides rise and fall, the four seasons change, rain, snow, frost and dew, all things are nurtured, and they are endless."

The children sang a lot, and even their parents and elders inevitably listened to one ear, and after listening to it a lot, some people also felt that the children's song here was reasonable, and the weather changes like the four seasons, and there is a fixed number.

But seeing that it has not rained, many people still feel worried.

"It's almost past this March, why hasn't it rained yet?!"

A plump woman looked up at the blue sky and muttered softly.

Beside her, a boy in Tsing Yi sang nursery rhymes and played hopscotch, saying, "What's so good about raining!" It's better if you don't do it! ”

"That's it." Another younger boy in blue chimed in, "You can't go out to play when it's raining!" ”

In the eyes of children, it doesn't matter if it doesn't rain, it's the right thing to play.

"Three dogs, what nonsense are you talking about!" The woman stretched out her fat index finger and tapped the forehead of the boy in blue, and insisted on a red mark, and said, "If it doesn't rain, the crops will die, what will you eat?" ”

The three dogs covered their foreheads and didn't dare to resist.

A foot away, an old woman who was peeling spring bamboo shoots raised her head and complained to the woman: "It hasn't rained so far this year, and I don't know if this dragon prince forgot about it when he was drunk." ”

"Hey, what if it doesn't rain all the time?" The woman frowned worriedly, and subconsciously lowered her voice, "Could it be that the rumor ......?"

"What rumors?" The old woman inquired curiously.

The woman had an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and hesitated: "Sister Li, have you heard about evil ......?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man came back with a burden, and interrupted the woman with a smile: "Child, have you heard?" The emperor will go to the sky and pray for rain with the future queen tomorrow! ”

"Really?" The woman blurted out in surprise.

"Of course it's true. This has been announced to the world. The middle-aged man said with a radiant look.

The woman was happy at first, and then her expression was a little complicated, and she muttered worriedly: "If the four girls of Duanmu are really evil, and the emperor takes the four girls to pray for rain, will it anger the heavens?" ”

"What a wickedness!" The middle-aged man reprimanded angrily, "It's really long hair and short knowledge!" Let you chew your tongue less with those women who like to gossip on weekdays, the fourth girl of Duanmu is the future queen mother, how can it be evil! ”

"Mother, what does it have to do with people when it doesn't rain?" The three dogs said in a milky voice, and also used the sentence of a children's rhyme, "The four seasons change, rain, snow, frost and dew, all things are nurtured, and they are endless." ”

The middle-aged man originally felt that his mother-in-law was ashamed, but when he heard his youngest son say this, he was amused, "Look, even my son understands the truth, you want your son to teach you!" ”

The woman was reprimanded by her own man and young son, and for a moment she was a little weak, and said, "What are you teaching me for?" I didn't say that. Isn't this not afraid of 10,000, just in case? ”

"And you three dogs, is this your attitude of talking to your mother?"

As soon as she trained her son, the woman's waist straightened up again, and the three dogs stuck out their tongues and simply ran away.

The woman put one hand on her waist, still muttering and scolding, one moment counting down her son's naughty, one moment thinking that the man was spending lavishly, and the other time sending her own man to wash up quickly.

For these ordinary people, this is another ordinary day, whether it rains or not, the days will pass.

So, another day passed, and there was still no rain at night.

On March 29, the weather was still so clear, and the golden sun rose from the eastern sky, like a huge fireball, so bright that people could not look at it directly.

It's another sunny day, with flowers blooming in the sun.

Worshipping the heavens is the most solemn ceremony, and many people have heard the news and gone to the Temple of Heaven.

The emperor personally went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens, and the civil and military officials naturally had to accompany him, and the team was mighty.

Ordinary people wanted to see it, but they could only follow the back of the line from a distance.

At the right time, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens began.

The civil and military officials all knelt down at the bottom of the altar, and at a glance, there was a black oppression, and there were forbidden army handles around, and those people could only stop dozens of feet away, and they all knelt on the ground one after another.

In the distance, they could see the new emperor in front of the ministers, dressed in a robe and wearing a crown, and beside the new emperor was a petite and slender girl, who was holding the girl and walking slowly on the jade steps towards the high altar.

The atmosphere of the altar of worship is solemn and solemn.

The ceremony of worshipping the heavens was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

After Mu Yan and Duanmu went to the altar, Mu Yan first took three incense sticks from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then climbed to the highest point of the altar in three steps and one knock, knelt down on the incense in front of the emperor's tablet, and performed three kneels and nine bows.

The civil and military officials on the ground and the people in the rear also kowtowed in the direction of the altar.

The sun was rising higher and higher, and the sun at the end of March was already burning like fire, so that a thin layer of sweat oozed from the foreheads of the kneeling people below.

Everyone has different expressions, some are pious and respectful, some are perfunctory, some have no bottom in their hearts, and some are just going with the flow.

Among the kneeling people, some people muttered to themselves, "Is it really going to rain?" ”

“……”

“……”

Several people around heard this and looked at each other.

After a few breaths, someone said, "It's hard to say! ”

"Look at the weather, the sun is so good, there is no wind and no clouds, how can it rain?!"

"If it doesn't rain......

“……”

Some people whispered to each other, and many people felt that today's heavenly sacrifice ceremony was afraid that there would be no satisfactory results.

On the altar of the sacrifice, after Mu Yan put on the incense, the officials of the Ministry of Rites handed the other three incense sticks to Duanmu Fei's hand.

Duanmu Fei offered incense with both hands, and respectfully began to kneel three times and bow nine times to the tablet of the Emperor of Heaven.

First, second......

She had only bowed twice, and suddenly there was a "boom" thunder in the distance.

"Boom, boom!"

The thunder burst out, like a thousand horses galloping towards this side.

As the thunder rang out, the sky became overcast, and the sun was obscured by clouds.

The people below raised their heads when they heard the sound and looked at the sky stupidly, their faces first in disbelief and then ecstatic, and clusters of flames lit up in their eyes, scorching brightly.

On the altar of the sacrifice, the official of the main priest of the Ministry of Rites was also stunned.

Obviously, the weather is so good today, it actually thundered, and ......

It didn't take long for the wind to rise, and the wind grew stronger and stronger, and poured into the neck.

Even those who don't understand the celestial phenomena can see that it is going to rain on this day.

More and more people raised their heads, including those civil and military officials who knelt on the ground.

Among them, Qin Tianjian's expression was extremely complicated.

Originally, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor would look at the celestial phenomena in advance to see which day it would rain, and then set the day of the sacrifice.

This time the sacrifice to the sky is different, it is the day chosen by the new emperor himself.

At that time, Qin Tianjian told the new emperor that it would not rain recently, but Mu Yan insisted that it must be chosen today, Qin Tianjian did not dare to disobey the holy will, so he went to the new emperor, but he didn't expect it to rain.

Xindi chose today, and it will rain today!

Qin Tianjian looked up at Mu Yan's upright back, his heart was hot, and the blood in his body was also boiling. Could it be that the new emperor is really Ziweixing as rumored?

Thinking about it, Qin Tianjian's gaze slowly moved to Duanmu Fei beside Mu Yan, the girl was kneeling down for the last time, her little face as white as jade had a solemn expression, and her body seemed to exude a divine light.

These days, those gossip about whether the four girls of Duanmu are evil or not, of course, Qin Tianjian and the officials of the Ministry of Rites have also heard of them.

This time, the new emperor proposed to let Duanmu Fei also sacrifice to the sky together, which also made the officials of the Ministry of Rites a little embarrassed, and also tactfully persuaded the new emperor to think twice before acting, after all, if there is no rain, the people will be angry on Duanmu Fei's head, and more and more believe that she is evil, and even some people are afraid that they will question whether the new emperor is the true son of heaven.

What a blessing!

Luckily, it's raining!

If something really goes wrong after the establishment of the company, maybe Cen Du will mainly make the decision for the righteous sister, and he will confront the new emperor because of this, and then something will happen.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Several officials of the Ministry of Rites were relieved, and they all had the urge to kneel down and thank God.

Tick, tick.

Soon, a few bean-sized raindrops fell in a burst of thunder, hitting the ground and trees around them with a "popping" sound.

"Bang ......"

The rain grew heavier and heavier, falling like a downpour, forming a large curtain of water, and the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder were intertwined.

In the distance, the people raised their heads and raised their hands to catch the rain, and shouted in their voices:

"It's raining, it's really raining!"

"The emperor is really a true son! The queen is also a blessed girl from heaven! ”

"Long live the emperor!"

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

The people shouted in unison, long live, one voice higher than the other.

Their robes had already been soaked by the rain and were drenched in him, but they were all unconcerned, immersed in the ecstasy of a long drought and rain.

This year will definitely be another bumper year!

Heaven I am sheng!

The rain went on and on.

Rao was like this, and everyone still completed the rest of the rituals in the heavy rain, and then Mu Yan drove back to Beijing.

Outside the West City Gate, those civil and military officials were sent back to their homes by Mu Yan, and they were called by their names: Don't suffer from the cold.

For the new emperor's thoughtfulness, those ministers were flattered and dispersed, only Duanmuxian saw through Mu Yan's true face, and said secretly: This stinky boy doesn't want to go back to the palace!

Sure enough, Mu Yan diligently sent Duanmu Fei, who had already changed his clothes, back to Muguo's mansion, and told him earnestly along the way:

"Zhenzhen, you must drink ginger soup when you go back."

"Get some more sleep...... By the way, your hair must be completely dry before you sleep, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold and have a headache. ”

He has been sending people to the gate of Muguo Mansion, and he is reluctant to leave, but he still has something to do, and no matter how reluctant he is, he can only leave in a hurry. "Why do these days pass so slowly...... Mu Yan's mouth kept muttering, "God, can't you go quickly and let me marry my daughter-in-law quickly?" ”

Duanmu Xian in the rear silently looked up at the rushing rain, and said in his heart: In fact, he feels that the days have passed faster. Count the days, and in twenty days, his precious granddaughter will be married, and she will be someone else's family.

The more Duanmu Xian thought about it, the more worried he felt, originally he planned to send his granddaughter back to the house, so he went to the Yamen, but now he has changed his mind temporarily, he still rests at home, and the time he spends with his granddaughter is one day less than one day!

After Mu Yan left, the gate of Mu Guogong's Mansion was closed again.

Zhanqing Yuan had already heard the news of Duanmu Fei's return to his home, and he was ready, and a bath barrel filled with hot water in the bathroom was steaming with wisps of white gas, and the water vapor was hazy.

Duanmu Fei took a hot bath under the service of the maid.

Duanmujun felt sorry for her sister who was kneeling and drenched in the rain today, so she was busy in and out, and handed her ginger soup, "Zhenzhen, drink a cup of ginger soup." ”

Duanmu Fei obediently took the ginger soup and drank it slowly, the hot and spicy ginger soup poured into his abdomen, forcing him to sweat.

Duanmu Jun carefully wiped Duanmu's hair, and said babblingly: "On this rainy day, I have to run to worship the sky, what should I do if I catch a cold!" ”

"You go to bed early today, and take care of it in the yard tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, don't get tired, so as not to let the cold take advantage of the weakness to enter the body."

Distressed is distressed, Duanmujun also knew that today's step was necessary, and said: "After today's incident, no one should talk nonsense." ”

Duanmu scarlet pursed her lips and smiled obediently, "Sister, am I very accurate?" ”

In fact, as early as more than a month ago, Mu Yan asked her to look at the stars to see if there would be a big drought this year, at that time, she saw from the stars that this year's wind and rain will be smooth, and there will be no big drought, but the specific time it will rain is not known, until a few days ago, she saw the signs, let people talk to Mu Yan.

"Exactly." Duanmujun nodded proudly, picked up another cloth towel and gently wiped her back, "Zhenzhen, you don't have to pay attention to those gossip. ”

"Hmm." Duanmu smiled in response, revealing a pair of shallow pear vortices on his lips, and his smile was soft and sweet.

She is Duanmu Fei.

From the moment she woke up from this body six years ago, she told herself that since God gave her a chance to live again, since God made her Duanmufei, then she was Duanmufei.

The heat in the tub was steaming, and Duanmu's eyes were wet, black, clear and bright.

Seeing that Duanmu Fei had finished drinking the ginger soup, Duanmu Jun took the cup, bypassed the screen, put it on the square table on the side, and said with satisfaction: "Ah Yan has done these things quite beautifully. ”

It was still raining outside, and it was hitting the windows with a bang, and the rain showed no signs of abating, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

Duanmu smiled even more happily, and while casually playing with the rose petals on the water, he said with a smile: "If Ah Yan knew that his sister said this, he would definitely be happy." ”

After putting the cup, Duanmu Jun came back and advised: "Zhenzhen, don't tell Ah Yan, lest he be too proud." And ah......h

As he spoke, Duanmu paused meaningfully.

Duanmu Fei asked very cooperatively: "And what?" ”

"And we're going to give him room to work harder, aren't we?" Duanmu Jun deliberately teased his sister.

Duanmu Fei laughed out loud, tried hard to make a serious appearance, and nodded: "What my sister said, I listen to my sister." ”

The two sisters talked and laughed with each other.

Outside, the sound of falling rain continued, mixed with the sound of wind and rain raging on the grass and trees, which overshadowed their voices.

"Whoa......
