Chapter Twenty-Six: Heavy Rain Overnight
Both of them tacitly revealed what had just happened without mentioning it, Er Ya didn't want to say more, turned around and prepared to enter the inner room, "I'm a little tired, I don't have good hospitality, take care of it." ”
Gong Jueyi nodded, ignored Erya's estrangement, and turned around and went out. He had important things to do, the man was immortal, and the stone blue brocade robe danced in the wind.
Women, as long as they coax more, nothing is unpassable, this is one of Gong Jueyi's women's scriptures.
In the lotus pond, a small wooden boat floated on the water at will, a man in red lay on the boat with Erlang's legs crossed, the man's handsome face looked up at the sky, his sword eyebrows entered the temples, and his lips pursed to declare that the master's mood was not good.
At the end of summer, the sun is no longer so hot, and there have been several rainstorms recently, which are dripping and thorough, and I am afraid that it will cool down after autumn.
In this world, many things are undesirable, the mother concubine abandoned him to the west very early, he wants to grow up, wants to live, since he was a child, he has seen the deceit of the former harem, from the harem concubine's selfish means to the vicious plans of the former courtiers, he has seen too much. Even if Gong Jueyi, who has already sat on the throne of Xuande Palace, still loves to compete with him, he wants to get what he likes, as if what he likes is good. How could he believe that Gong Jueyi would really be tempted by Lu Mingfeng, how could he be tempted by a cold person?
"Master, my subordinates have something important to report." The sound of thunder on the shore came into his ears, and Gong Xuanchi took a little foot and flew towards the shore.
"What?"
"......" Thunder whispered, and Gong Xuanchi left immediately.
In the study of Tonghua Academy, a woman was writing on the desk, and the snow-white rice paper was full of small plum blossom seals that were still quite upright, and the woman put the written letter by the candle to dry and put it in an envelope.
Erya stood up and stretched, the most important thing now is to open Fuxing Building to Lin'an City before going to the capital, so as to expand the business, it is convenient for her to manage, and there is to hand over the restaurant to Sanniu, now Sanniu is ten years old, some girls from large families began to learn housekeeping at the age of nine, Sanniu is now in charge, it is not too early, after all, she went to the capital, there must be a reliable person to take care of here.
"Miss, it's dark outside, put on your clothes, don't get cold."
Mama Feng was holding a soft muslin embroidered cloak in her hand, and when she saw Erya nodding, she hurriedly put it on her.
"What time is it, why is it getting dark?" If I remember correctly, it was just a few hours before I wrote the letter, and I didn't know when it was dark in the study.
"Miss, it's always thundering and raining these days, and the sky is gloomy, so it should be another heavy rain today." Mama Feng stood at the desk and said softly.
Erya's heart said that it has been raining for half a month, why does it keep raining, I am afraid that there will be floods if it continues like this. But this has nothing to do with her, and the emperor and hundreds of officials will still bear it when the sky falls.
Erya took out the letter that the old man gave her from the cuffs embroidered with ruyi patterns, and was interrupted by Gong Jueyi when she read the letter today, no one at this time, take it out and take a look.
The letter was spread out, and Erya glanced at Mama Feng, and saw that she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, and she didn't look at it at all, so she couldn't help but praise her, and she was quite obedient, so she didn't ask her out.
I'm halfway through it today, and let's see what else my mother has to say. Looking down, the familiar beautiful plum blossom seal written on the letter made Er Ya more and more surprised.
Her mother escaped from Chu and buried the jade pei she was wearing under a few big mulberry trees in the west of Lingyuan Village, so that she must take it, which made Erya worried, Lin'an is hundreds of miles away from Lingyuan Village, she finally walked to Lin'an, and let her go back, thinking about it reluctantly.
At this moment, a thunderbolt flashed, and the two windows suddenly hit the wall vigorously, and the second girl, who was so startled that she was immersed in the letter, sat up suddenly, and looked at the thunder and lightning outside the window that was blown open by the wind, and the wind and rain were sudden, and she panicked inexplicably, put away the letter, stood up and walked out.
Mama Feng hurriedly went to close the window with a bolt and followed behind Erya.
"Miss, where are you going, it's raining so heavily." Mama Feng's tone was a little anxious, seeing that Erya seemed to want to go out, how could such a big wind and rain make it!
"I'll go see Miss Three and Miss Four, those two girls are most afraid of thunder and rain." The second girl wanted to go to Fanghua Pavilion with her skirt, but she ignored the two girls when she was busy these days, and she felt guilty and walked eagerly.
Before Erya went out, a gust of wind blew the flower pots in the yard to the ground, and the yard sounded a cracking sound of "crackling".
"What's wrong?" Yuzhu hurried out of the west side where the maidservant lived wearing a snow-white obscene robe.
"The master hasn't rested yet, but you have rested." Mama Feng's eyes were sharp, with the momentum of a perennial superior, after all, as the deputy housekeeper of the princess's mansion, she would not be able to take her turn if she didn't have a little courage.
Yuzhu knelt on the ground softly on her legs, "Miss forgive me, Yuzhu saw that Miss was fine, and she went to rest when she was a little sleepy, Yuzhu didn't dare!" ”
Saying that she had a pretty face and wanted to cry, as if she had been wronged, Er Ya was not a master who liked to make things difficult, not to mention that she still wanted to go and see Sanniu and Ling'er soon, it can be seen that Yuzhu is like this, and she is also annoyed in her heart.
"Mama Feng." The girl's voice was a little impatient, "You teach her what rules are!" Seeing that Miss Feng didn't complain about her voice, Mama Feng nodded and saw that Miss insisted on going out, so she asked Yuzhu to kneel in place first and wait for them to come back, and turned around with an umbrella to accompany Erya into the rain.
Erya is very satisfied with Mama Feng, what she wants is a loyal servant who can accompany her master to advance and retreat together and is not afraid of wind and rain, not a slave who only knows how to blindly prevent her master from doing things.
The wind and rain were sudden, and the two of them went to Fanghua Pavilion together, Zhilan was coming out to see the rain, and saw her own lady running this way in the rain, and she was surprised, what is going on, such weather, Miss also came over in person.
"Zhilan, hurry up and let Miss in, Miss's clothes are wet!" Mama Feng's tone was anxious, and she escorted Erya to the eaves, but she ignored her soaked clothes and took off her wet clothes for Erya.
"Yes, the slave will go and make a stove and bake the clothes for the young lady."
As he spoke, another bolt of lightning accompanied by a loud thunder streaked across the dark sky.
Agarwood ran out when she heard the movement, and saw the embarrassed young lady and Mama Feng standing outside the door.
"Miss is okay, why did it come back in such a heavy rain, the slave will go and make you a bowl of ginger soup." Agarwood is very good at cooking, and he is the most proficient in doing these, and he often does these jobs in the princess's mansion.
Er Ya didn't care about this, and hurriedly asked, "The two young ladies are good, I'll take a look!" As he spoke, he lifted the beaded curtain and hurried into the inner room.
The pink bed curtain hung quietly on the side of the bed, although the window was bolted, there was still a trace of wind rushing into the house, Sanniu and Ling'er both slept together, listening to the thunder outside, as well as the dazzling lightning cast on the window paper, Sanniu covered Ling'er's ears and pretended to be calm: "Fourth sister, don't be afraid, Father-in-law Lei can't see it when she's hiding here, and he won't beat us."
Er Ya heard this childish sentence when she entered the house, and when she looked over, she saw the two girls hugging each other and hiding in the corner of the bed, the pink gauze curtain reflected the pink of the house in the jumping candlelight, compared to the bad weather of thunder and lightning outside, it seemed very warm here. For the first time, Erya was glad that she had spent a lot of money to decorate the boudoir for the two girls.
"Sister, why are you here?" Sanniu didn't throw herself into Erya's arms as before, sat on the bed and looked at her and asked lightly. Ling'er smiled innocently, looked at Erya and called sweetly, "Sister!" ”
Erya felt the alienation of Sanniu and felt a little lost in her heart.
"I saw that the thunder was terrible, and I was worried that you two would be afraid, so come and have a look." After speaking, Erya looked down at Ling'er, "Is Ling'er afraid?" ”
"With my sister here, Ling'er is not afraid." Ling'er's innocent milk words slightly healed Erya's heart.
"Sister will come over and sleep with you tonight, okay?"
In the past, when they were poor, the three sisters almost all slept together, and although they were crowded, they were exceptionally warm.
