Chapter 870: Listening to the Rain in the Twilight Years
The boat slowly moved forward.
The heavy rain fell into the boat, and soon it was bounced up and fell into the water, and the surface of the boat was covered with a white splash.
This is exactly the same as the white rain jumping beads into the boat in the poem.
Su Youyi sat in the middle of the boat, outside the cabin.
She squinted slightly as she watched the pearl-like raindrops crash on the ship, quickly shattering into several petals and splashing like fine pearls being smashed into several pieces.
All that flew up was white pearl powder.
If you turn your face sideways, you can see Ji Yushen wearing a cloak and bracing the penny, his movements are very familiar, if it weren't for the face under the hat that is too handsome, I am afraid that I will really be thought to be a boatman.
Su Youyi sneered, "When we were children, we lived in the Lingnan Mountains, and there was no sea or river, and when you became a big official in the capital, how could you have the opportunity to learn to support the penny?" ”
Ji Yushen glanced at her, and saw her sitting in the heavy rain with her head up, her little face glowing brightly, and she couldn't help but shake her head secretly.
Who has to sit in the rain instead of sitting in a cabin?
"If you don't learn, you are born with it."
Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, and laughed more and more.
Maybe there are only two people here, she and Ji Yushen, no one can hear her words and see her expression through the rain curtain, so she is unscrupulous.
Ji Yushen likes her to laugh like this, no matter how uninhibited she is in front of outsiders, she must always be a dignified and dignified queen mother, and she can't mess up the rules too much.
And in front of him, she never will.
She was still the girl in Lingnan more than ten years ago, the daughter of that gentleman, and often followed her husband to her home to play......
Ji Yushen thought about it, and the pen in his hand accidentally lost his head, and the hull of the ship shook.
Su Youyi was caught off guard for a while, and her whole body shook with it, but fortunately, Ji Yushen quickly stabilized the hull of the boat, and Su Youyi became more and more funny, "You still said that you were born to do it, what is this?" ”
"It's not as good as the craftsmanship that others have practiced diligently."
Ji Yushen humbly admitted his shortcomings, and then looked at Su Youyi, "Why don't you try?" ”
Su Youyi was still a little interested, but as soon as she stood up, the whole boat swayed and swayed endlessly, and she finally found such a good way to shelter from the rain, but she didn't want to fall into the water and become a soup chicken.
I had to sit down obediently.
If she falls into the water and gets wet, Chunhua and the others must make a fuss and ask her to go back to change her clothes, then there will be no chance to enjoy this rain scene.
Ji Yushen couldn't help but feel funny when he saw her standing up with great interest and sitting down honestly.
When the boat reached the depths of the river and there were weeping willows on the bank, Ji Yushen stopped the boat there and returned to the cabin to sit.
At that time, Su Youyi was already sitting in the cabin, and she also made a pot of hot tea.
Seeing Ji Yushen stop the boat in, he handed him a cup of tea, "Be careful of scalding." ”
Ji Yushen took it and took a sip, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Are you making tea from rainwater?" Where does the rain come from? ”
"The tongue of the good spirit."
Su Youyi praised him, and said with a smile: "Where else did it come from?" Pick up and use now. This ready-made rainwater is everywhere and is just right for making tea. ”
Ji Yushen tasted it again, and then said slowly: "I have drunk the rainwater that has been stored by others for many years, and the taste is clear." The taste of this freshly taken rain is a little different, more frivolous, and the mouth is fresh and sweet. ”
Su Youyi herself also picked up the teacup, and said while drinking: "If you wait for the snow to fall in winter, you are also on such a small lonely boat, cooking tea and making snow and talking about life, are you wonderful?" It's just the same, it's too cold. ”
Ji Yushen looked around at the boat, if this small boat is also transformed into a winter carriage, with heat insulation boards on the four walls, and then a few charcoal stoves, it may not be impossible to keep warm.
It's just that you don't have to tell Su Youyi for the time being, just wait for the first snow in winter to get it done, it's still early.
The two of them huddled together in the small cabin, watching the rain fall from the eaves of the cabin like a curtain of rain.
Looking at the willow and apricot trees on the case through the rain curtain, the shadows of the trees that were originally soaked in the night and blurred are becoming more and more dense and mixed together.
It is like a good landscape painting, with distant mountains like daisies, and trees near like smoke.
Neither of them spoke, and the air was so quiet that it seemed to be heard by the occasional cry of a homing bird.
Su Youyi sat and drank tea and watched the rain at first, but after a while, she lazy down, leaning against the wall of the cabin, listening to the rain with her eyes closed.
"The boy listened to the rain song upstairs. Red candle dim tent. Listen to the rain in the middle of the boat. The river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind. ”
"Now listen to the rain monks. Sideburns have stars also. Joys and sorrows are always ruthless. A term of step forward, drip to dawn. ”
She read the poem softly, and she only felt extremely attached to the situation in front of her.
She is only in her thirties, and she should still be in the prime of life, but the experience in the first half of her life is too ups and downs, which makes her feel a little twilight.
Joys and sorrows are always ruthless.
She is like this now, but I'm afraid that Ji Yushen is also like this, right?
Thinking of this, she opened her eyes, and suddenly found that Ji Yushen's face was extremely close to her, so close that she could touch his gentle lips if she moved forward a little.
The affection and compassion in his eyes are so familiar and so compatible.
The person who knows her best in this life should be him, right?
The four eyes were facing each other, and both of them were a little bitter and gentle.
After a long time, Ji Yushen moved tentatively, and he slowly approached her lips, and the two red lips that were not dotted made him greedy for a long time.
Su Youyi didn't move, nor did she push him away.
Just when Ji Yushen thought he had succeeded, Su Youyi suddenly approached him and took the initiative to stick to his lips.
The movements of the two lost their center of gravity all of a sudden, and in an instant, the two figures intertwined and rolled to the ground of the cabin, with ambiguous lips and teeth intertwined, and heavy breathing......
The wind and rain on the river are still urgent, but no one can relieve the silence in the cabin.
I don't know who hurriedly reached out and gently closed the door of the cabin, leaving only darkness inside, and the sound of clothes rubbing kept ringing.
It was an emotion that had been suppressed for more than ten years, and it was the two of them who finally chose to be honest about their inner hopes after twists and turns......
On the shore, the guards who were still guarding stood upright, and their posture did not move for a moment.
Chunhua waited in the nearby pavilion, and as the sky became darker and darker, she vaguely realized something, so she went over to the guards and said, "Withdraw farther away, the Queen Mother is on a whim, and I don't know how late it will be to go back to rest." Unless you are not summoned, do not go near the river. ”
"Yes."
The guards quietly retreated to a farther position, and Chunhua looked at the silhouette of the boat on the river in the distance, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She and Chunjing have both made promises, and they will soon get married, and she was inexplicably happy to see Su Youyi and Ji Yushen finally achieve positive results before this......
