Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rain Falls

Mu Wanqiu came to the backyard along a bluestone path, turned the moon gate, and on the octagonal pavilion in front, under the moonlight, a man in white was sitting cross-legged on the couch and playing the piano.

In the quiet night, he sat there comfortably, leisurely like a fairy falling from the sky, warm as a touch of moonlight in the night, ethereal, it was Li Gongzi who bet with her on the altar of begging for rain during the day.

Leaning lightly on the moon gate, Mu Wanqiu smiled heartily.

If he can play the piano here, it means that he should make her bet during the day!

The piano stopped abruptly, and he looked up at her.

A few steps in front of Li Gongzi, Mu Wanqiu blessed his body slightly, and generously knelt on the couch opposite him, reached out to take the wine jug, and elegantly poured a glass of wine for him, "Li Gongzi, please ......"

Glancing at her, Li Gongzi picked up the wine glass and endured it.

“…… Dare to ask Childe's name? Mu Wanqiu poured him another glass of wine.

Didn't you say that you admired him very much, why didn't you even know his name?

A playful smile crossed his lips as he looked at her quietly.

"Li Jun......" Just when Mu Wanqiu regretted that he was abrupt, he spoke.

Li ...... Jun ......" Mu Wanqiu muttered, she suddenly raised her head, "The head of the Great Thursday Wang Clan...... The eldest son of the Li family? ”

Li Gongzi raised his eyebrows, this little girl looks small, and she has a lot of experience.

“…… Precisely! He nodded, looking at her for a moment.

"It's actually you......" Mu Wanqiu muttered in her mouth, her expression a little dazed.

Li Jun, a young talent, talented, is the head of the Great Thursday Dawang family, the leading boss of the perfume industry - the eldest son and grandson of the Li family, who will tremble when he stomps his feet casually, and is also one of the most competitive future heads of the perfume industry.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, this person was born with a short life, and died in Zitong Town a year later, and because of this, although she had heard of him in her previous life, she had no chance to see him, thinking of the information collected by the four major wang clans in her previous life, Mu Wanqiu sighed secretly.

Confused by fame and fortune, she can't get rid of the vulgar after all.

Seeing through the woman's trance look when she learned about his background, Li Jun smiled indifferently, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

When she came back to her senses, she was shocked by his suddenly faded expression, how could she forget that he was talented and extremely smart, and she was afraid that her little tricks during the day would not be able to deceive him; Knowing his identity, Mu Wanqiu regretted what she said during the bet during the day that she invited him to play on the phoenix because she admired him.

She's a little eager to cover it up.

A proud person like him is the most taboo to be taken advantage of!

Her face was quite calm, Mu Wanqiu's heart was tight, and she felt that her clothes were sticking to her back.

Trapped in the government, she is the fish and meat of Lord Xu's caseboard, she can't ask for rain, she is a dead end, but after tonight, she asks for rain and wants to be slaughtered, she is alone and an orphan girl at the end of the world, and she has no relatives in Pingcheng, how can she hide from the poison of Lord Xu who is regarded as "heaven" by the people of Pingcheng?

Only the person in front of her can save her!

A person like him probably won't have any sympathy, she only has a few hours, and if she can't get his approval and think that she is worthy of his help, she will only die.

With a lot of thoughts, Mu Wanqiu tried her best to recall the information she had collected about him in her previous life, and her eyes fell on Yaoqin, and her heart moved.

Secretly inhaled, she stabilized her mind, elegantly poured two glasses of wine, made a gesture of please, picked up a glass and drank it all, put down the cup, and pushed the cup and plate in front of her, she reached out and took the Yaoqin, tried the sound, and then used her fingers hard, suddenly like a mountain stream of fine water, the sound of the piano is misty, like a thousand mountains separated by a thousand years.

Since she was a child, she was very active, she didn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just because of the dust in her previous life, Chunxianglou's mother was bent on making her a famous prostitute, under torture and whip, she was forced to learn a good piano, experienced the vicissitudes of a lifetime, and unconsciously her piano skills have abandoned the luxury and drill camp that she has been pursuing.

The situation was born from the heart, Mu Wanqiu originally wanted to play a relaxing tune, thinking of all the things in her previous life, the faint sound of the piano unconsciously brought a bit of vicissitudes and a little more timeless.

This superb unpretentious piano skill, which seems to have gone through several lifetimes of vicissitudes, which one of the teenage girls played it?

The wine glass unconsciously stopped at his lips, and gradually, Li Jun's expression became more and more solemn.

The sound of the piano stopped at some point.

There was silence in the courtyard.

"Pap, papa, papa......" A burst of applause broke the silence, and Lord Xu flashed out from behind the moon gate, "Listen to Jun's song, it's really lingering, and it's been endless for three days!" He sighed, "I can't imagine that the white girl is so ......good at a young age, and her piano skills are so superb."

Li Jun frowned and drank all the wine in his cup.

Mu Wanqiu hurriedly stood up and blessed slightly, "Master Xu has spoken ......"

After looking Mu Wanqiu up and down a few times, a trace of greed flashed in Lord Xu's eyes, he laughed, sat cross-legged on the low couch where Mu Wanqiu was just sitting, took the wine jug in Li Jun's hand and poured a glass for himself, and drank it all, "Wine and bright moon, rare, rare......" He suddenly stopped, looked up at the blue night sky, and muttered, "...... On such a sunny day, how does it look like it's going to rain? He turned his head and looked at Mu Wanqiu again, "...... Have you ever thought about what you would do if you couldn't ask for rain? ”

Li Jun also put down the cup in his hand and looked at Mu Wanqiu.

“…… It's still early, how can Lord Xu assert that there is no rain tonight? Mu Wanqiu calmly blessed Lord Xu, "The folk girl still has to meditate, so she will retire first." ”

Putting down the wine glass, Lord Xu's face changed instantly.

Looking at Mu Wanqiu's slender back, the corners of Li Jun's mouth curved, revealing a pleasant arc.

……

Awakened by a sharp cheer, Mu Wanqiu sat up, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and an eerie white swept through the room, like a brocade tearing, and a deafening thunder followed, Mu Wanqiu covered her head with the quilt......

The room fell silent, and after a long time, she quietly lifted a quilt corner, and looked out with big gurgling eyes, afraid of thunder since she was a child, Mu Wanqiu went to bed early tonight, hoping to avoid this thunder and lightning and lonely night, and didn't want her to be woken up.

“…… Is the White Maiden awake? Cui Hong knocked on the door, "Master, please go to the front hall to discuss ......"

Hearing the voice, Mu Wanqiu's heart was a lot more relieved, she breathed a long sigh of relief and sat up, her lips moved, and she forcibly suppressed the urge to ask Cui Hong to come in to accompany her, and only looked at the door quietly.

"White girl......" didn't hear a voice, and Cui Hong called again, "Are you awake?" ”

“…… When is it? ”

"Yin Shi ......" Hearing Mu Wanqiu's voice, Cui Hong pushed the door in with a set of clothes, "...... The slave went in? ”

"Light the lamp on ......" has already come in, what else is it asking? In the dark, Mu Wanqiu commanded, her voice unusually quiet.

"The white girl is really a god, and she really begged for rain...... "took the fire fold and lit the long candle on the case, Cui Hong came to the bed, "The people of Pingcheng are celebrating in the rain......" stretched out his hand to open the curtain, "Girl, get up quickly, the lord should be in a hurry." ”

“…… Master? ”

Mu Wanqiu only remembered that Cui Hong said that the master had something to ask, so she frowned, in the middle of the night, what did Lord Xu tell herself to do?

Later, when I came back from Qidi, I felt a little feverish, so I took some medicine and fell asleep, thinking that I would only sleep for a while, but who knew that I had slept until now......
