“…… Why are you all waiting here? Seeing Cui Hong and another maid sent to serve Mu Wanqiu standing outside the door, Mama Zhang asked, "...... The White Girl hasn't cleaned up yet? ”

“…… The white girl does not need to be served by slaves and maids. Cui Hongfu replied.

“…… If she lets her out, you will come out? I don't know if the master is urging! Mama Zhang scolded her, "I'm not afraid that she will run away from the window!" ”

Today is the three-day period, the sedan chair has already been prepared, just waiting for Mu Wanqiu, at this time, seeing that she drove the two maids out, Mama Zhang was really afraid that Mu Wanqiu would flee from the battle, and glared at the two fiercely, she raised her legs and was about to break into the house, her feet fell on the side of the door, and stopped, hesitated for a moment, slowed down her voice, and said:

“…… Is the White Girl done cleaning up? I didn't hear back, and said, "The sedan chair has been prepared, and the master is waiting......

"Mama Zhang, wait a minute, I'll be fine in a while......"

Hearing the echo, Mama Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned forward, thought about it, and then retreated, standing outside the door with her hands down.

Hearing that there was no sound outside the door, Mu Wanqiu turned her head and looked at herself quietly in the mirror, suddenly, she reached out and pulled out the jade hairpin, and broke up the cloud bun that had just been pulled up, and the green silk like ink poured down instantly, and the black satin hung down to her waist.

"Since you can't wear filial piety for your parents, it's good to ......," Mu Wanqiu muttered.

In the previous life, because of the dust, she did not and did not dare to worship her parents, for fear that her parents under the nine springs would not be able to turn a blind eye when they saw her appearance in the dust.

Taking the black gauze that had been prepared earlier and slowly covering her face, Mu Wanqiu slowly stood up.

……

Under the rain altar by the Dragon King River, it has long been crowded.

On the altar of asking for rain in the square of three zhang, there is a cloud dragon pattern mahogany incense case in the northwest direction, and in the center of the mountain of offerings, there is a ruler-long tablet, and a green dragon carved on the card surface is lifelike;

A group of drummers in the audience beat gongs and drums to the earth, and a group of children laughed and danced on the beach, which was lively like the New Year.

On both sides of the vermilion wooden staircase in front of the rain altar, the officials of various prefectures and counties had already arrived, and they were finally ashamed of the people of Pingcheng, and in the face of the boiling crowd, these officials stood one by one, their eyes did not squint, and their foreheads were covered with sweat from the sun.

There was a rapid sound of gongs, and then a group of guards shouted at the top of their voices: "Get out of the way, get out of the way...... Lord Xu has arrived! ”

"Here comes the White Girl......"

"Don't make any noise, the white girl is begging for rain......"

I don't know who shouted first, and the people gathered in front of the altar immediately shouted, and the drum conductor waved his hand, and the sound of gongs and drums suddenly disappeared, and the people in front of the altar retreated to both sides, making way for a road that was a foot wide.

A team of soap-clothed guards trotted to the altar for rain, stood under the altar, and then turned around, divided into two columns and leaned to both sides, followed by two large sedan chairs, one green and one blue, were slowly carried in, and stopped in front of the vermilion stairs.

The guard stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, and Lord Xu bowed down and stepped down from the sedan chair.

Standing in front of the sedan chair, his eyes crossed the officials who bowed down, he glanced at the boiling crowd, as if he didn't see him, everyone was looking at the blue sedan chair that was tightly sealed, shouting in his mouth, and after a little hesitation, Lord Xu stepped forward and personally lifted the sedan curtain.

Facing Lord Xu's kind smile, Mu Wanqiu was stunned, then bowed slightly, and she slowly got off the sedan chair.

All the voices were gone.

Everyone's eyes widened, is this the little girl in rags?!

She covered her face with black veil, a head like an inky green silk waterfall hanging down on her waist, her slender waist was like a plain, her white clothes were better than snow, and there was a mysterious aura faintly exuding under the golden sun, just like the fairy of the Nine Heavens falling into the dust, and like a jade girl on the thousand-year-old ice peak, elegant and quiet, so that people could not give birth to half a blasphemy.

Facing such Mu Wanqiu, even Lord Xu was stunned for a moment, and his voice instantly became extremely attentive, "White girl, please ......"

"Lord Xie Xu......" Mu Wanqiu was slightly blessed, like a jade girl.

"Don't dare...... Don't dare to ......" After saying two didn't dare, Master Xu realized that he was speechless, hurriedly shut up, and dodged out of the steps.

Looking at the majestic altar of asking for rain, Mu Wanqiu's heart trembled and trembled.

Asking for rain today, it is Lord Xu who asks for her, so he will personally open the sedan chair curtain for her, once she asks for rain is useless, will Lord Xu let go of her who has a huge amount of money but no power?

Trapped in the prefect's yamen, how did she get out after begging for rain?

Anyway, take one step at a time.

Taking a deep breath and clasping her hands, Mu Wanqiu straightened her back and stepped forward with her feet raised.

The breeze blew, and the black hair and white clothes danced in the wind.

"The jade girl has descended to earth...... someone in the crowd shouted, and the silent dragon king river instantly boiled:

"Jade Girl...... Jade Girl ......"

"Ask for rain...... Asking for rain ......"

Lord Xu frowned, raised his hand and waved at the drummers on both sides, and immediately the drum music played loudly, overpowering the shouting crowd.

Mu Wanqiu, who was about to step up the steps, suddenly turned around.

She didn't have to ask for that rain, it would come down, and she didn't go to the altar to ask for rain, but to pay tribute to her parents, brothers and sisters who were killed in Ankang.

It's just a matter of mourning, with such a noisy drum music, how can the family under the spring live in peace?

“…… The white girl wants the official to accompany you up? "Today, I can accompany her fairy-like to climb the altar of asking for rain, which is the attention of thousands of people, and it is also an immortal glory!

Looking at Mu Wanqiu, who was fluttering in white, Lord Xu had long forgotten the consequences of not being able to ask for rain once she begged for rain, and forgot that he had already made up his mind, and he would not be able to accompany Mu Wanqiu to the altar of asking for rain today no matter what.

Unfortunately, as soon as his voice came out, it was drowned out by the sound of drums.

Frowning, he didn't feel a little regretful for letting the drums play in unison at this time.

In her previous life, in order to collect information for him, Mu Wanqiu had spent a long time learning lip language, drumming and music, although her ears couldn't hear it, she could read Lord Xu's lip language, but Mu Wanqiu didn't want him to follow, as if she didn't hear it, she politely blessed Lord Xu, turned around and climbed a few steps, then turned around again, raised her hand and pressed downward, and made a silent motion.

The drumming stops immediately.

“…… In order to show their devotion to the dragon god, when the folk girl asks for rain, she hopes to be quiet. Mu Wanqiu explained to Lord Xu.

"Good...... Okay......" After being stunned for a moment, Lord Xu said two good words in a row, turned around and beckoned the guards, "Pass on the words of the white girl......"

As he was talking, one of the guards shouted, "Li Gongzi is here ......"

Lord Xu was shocked and looked back.

Dressed in white and on a black horse, one man and one riding a tower came.

Glimpsing Lord Xu's extremely flattering face in an instant, Mu Wanqiu's heart moved, he wanted to leave the prefect's yamen safely one day, and today he had to borrow the momentum of this Li Gongzi!

Stopping in front of the rain altar, Li Gongzi flew off the horse, handed over the reins to the guards, glanced at Mu Wanqiu on the steps, and was about to take a step, Lord Xu hurriedly greeted him: "Li Gongzi is actually here......

There was a hint of joy in the flattering tone.

He built an altar to ask for rain, and everyone watched it, and it was his great face that Li Gongzi could come to cheer.

“…… With such a grand sacrifice, how could I not come and join in the fun? Li Gongzi smiled leisurely.

After speaking, he didn't look at Master Xu, and walked towards Mu Wanqiu.
