Chapter 1: The Wedge

Next Chapter

Splendid Beijing, a heavy rain in late autumn, cold to the bone.

A broken oil-paper umbrella was stretched out in the narrow alley, and the person under the umbrella was wearing a coarse cloth and thin cotton jacket, unable to hide his slender posture, and a pair of long legs were straight, like a beauty.

She held the bulging green cloth burden in her arms, and rushed out with her head down, and the heavy rain hit her through the holes in the paper umbrella, and her thin shoulders wet the corners.

A gust of wind blew in, and the rain splashed her face.

Su Youyi snorted to herself, the road ahead was blurred by the rain, she was secretly worried, Ji Yushen went out to visit the ministers of the DPRK and China without an umbrella, and now she must be wet.

She stepped up her steps and walked forward against the wind, a pair of trouser legs were pierced by the rain and stuck to her feet, so cold that she shivered.

A team of sedan horses suddenly appeared in the rain, and Su Youyi hurriedly avoided the roadside.

The red official sedan chair, if you look closely, there are four people carrying and two people opening the road in front, this is a big official traveling.

Umbrella under the powder. The tender cherry lips hooked up a chuckle, Ji Yushen has already won the new science and technology Tanhualang, and there will be such a sedan chair to sit in the future, she can also be bare.

Who made his father his husband, the two grew up together, and the two fathers set a baby kiss for them early?

She hugged the burden in her arms, which was the thick cotton jacket she sewn for Ji Yushen, and the money at home was only enough to buy that bit of cotton, and she was reluctant to wear it herself, so she specially brought it out to Ji Yushen to keep out the cold.

When he went out today, he was only wearing a thin gown, which must have been frozen.

The red sedan chair passed by her, not as she had imagined, but stopped squarely in front of him.

The official who opened the way held up a bright oil-paper umbrella and welcomed the people in the sedan chair out, Su Youyi lowered her head and saw the corner of the navy blue robe from under the umbrella, and a pair of black and shiny official boots were hidden underneath.

Sure enough, it's a big official.

"Youyi."

The cold and hoarse voice, through the layers of rain curtains, Su Youyi raised her head in surprise, and the familiar handsome face showed a smile at her.

The arc of laughter, there is a hint of coldness and detachment.

Su Youyi glanced at him happily, "Brother Yushen, is it really you?" You are so spiritual in your official uniform! ”

After that, he looked at the official sedan chair behind him, and the military attache Kong who carried the sedan chair was looking at her with strange eyes, as if he was wondering how Hualang could know such a poor girl.

Ji Yu's deep and narrow phoenix eyes, his gaze fell on the rain-soaked piece of her shoulder, which collapsed a few points lower than elsewhere, and the cotton jacket was so thin that it was wet and stuck to her body.

Su Youyi noticed his eyes, lowered her head shyly, and thought that she was going to answer me coldly.

Ji Yushen smiled silently, "I'm going to visit Elder Li Ge today. Miss Li Er promised me, and the wedding date was two months later. ”

The rain was so loud that Su Youyi didn't hear what he was talking about.

She opened her lips in panic, and saw that the pair of narrow phoenix eyes fell on the burden in her hand, and she was a little contemptuous, "You came to give me a new padded jacket?" It's a pity that I already have clothes to wear. ”

He was wearing a bright patch uniform, official boots, and where would he care about a clumsy and rough one. Heavy padded jacket?

Just as she has accompanied him to guard the cold kiln for half a year, serving him tea, pouring water, washing and cooking, and finally staying up until he is in high school to explore flowers, but she is not as good as the young lady in the old house of the pavilion to hook his fingers.

She trembled all over, and every pore of her body suddenly noticed the coldness of the heavy rain in late autumn.

"It's good, I'm going to enter the palace too."

Su Youyi finished speaking with chattering teeth, and shook off the burden in her arms, as Ji Yushen expected, it was indeed a bulky cotton jacket.

The contempt in his eyes deepened, but she shook off the tattered paper umbrella and put the thick cotton jacket on her with both hands, and held her chin high in the rain.

The heavy rain quickly wet her newly worn thick cotton jacket, and the woman's smooth skin was soaked in the rain, and there was a strange light, "Look at my new cotton jacket, does it look good?" ”

Without waiting for Ji Yushen to answer, she turned around and left, the wide cotton jacket was worn on the slender woman, and the cotton that had absorbed the rain seemed to crush people, but her steps did not hesitate at all.

Ji Yushen stood in the rain and watched her departing back, and after a long time, he turned around and got into the sedan chair.

"Let's go."
