Chapter 50: Shelter from the Rain
The rain was pouring down, and the sky was dark.
Xu Mansion, under the eaves of the house, Xu Yao knelt at the door.
Mrs. Xu walked around under the eaves anxiously, "Why haven't you come back......" glanced at the lightning and thunder in the distance, and then looked at the kneeling maid on the ground, worried, "Miss really went to the Liu Mansion next door?" ”
Xu Yao raised her head slightly and replied, "Yes, madam." Miss and Young Master Li accompanied Lord Shen to see the new mansion. Ah Yao didn't dare to tell the slightest lie. ”
"Then why haven't you returned?" Mrs. Xu hurriedly said, "With such a loud thunder, Qinghe will definitely have another headache." ”
Shuangmei, who was standing on the side, immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, why don't you go and pick up the young lady back?" ”
Mrs. Xu looked at the pouring rain outside the eaves, and even if she held an umbrella, her clothes would be soaked, and sighed, "That's it...... How can I get wet after running like this? Staying in Liu's Mansion can also take shelter from the rain. I just hope that Qinghe's headache can alleviate some ......"
Shuangmei had no choice but to gently convince her: "Madam, don't worry too much. With Young Master Li watching over her, Miss will definitely be fine. ”
Mrs. Xu nodded, but she couldn't help but be worried, and walked back and forth under the eaves......
In the New Thorn Mansion, the steward was holding two oil-paper umbrellas and was about to run to the backyard, but was stopped by the young master of the Li family, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Send an umbrella to Lord Xu and Miss Xu......" the steward hurriedly replied.
Li Bozhou stepped forward, took off the umbrella, shook it in front of the steward, and said with a smile: "What can you cover with two broken umbrellas in this torrential rain!" Lord Shen is not stupid, don't you know how to hide when it rains? Besides, there are many houses in this house, and you can shelter from the wind and rain if you find any one. ”
"Besides, if you go out to look for them in such a rash manner, I'm afraid you may not be able to find them when the rain stops."
When the steward heard this, he felt very reasonable, so he withdrew his steps and stepped aside.
Li Bozhou casually put the oil-paper umbrella on the table, sat down and shouted, "Uncle, do you have anything to eat in the kitchen?" I'm dying of hunger. ”
The steward shook his head, "The new stove in the house hasn't started yet." If Young Master Li is hungry, I'll go get some pastries. ”
"Go—go, thank you, uncle!" Li Bozhou hurriedly said.
When the figure of the old man in charge disappeared under the porch, he laughed.
The time and place are favorable, and when the three come together, nothing can be done! Such a good thing, after you go back, you must talk to Jingshu and listen to it......
The sound of the wind, the rain, the sound of the sound.
In the pavilion with wind and rain on all sides, a pair of figures fit together.
"My lord, it seems that there is no thunder." Xu Qinghe said in a loud voice, his warm chest made his cheeks faintly hot......
Shen Ye hugged the woman in his arms, knowing that he should let go of his hand, but the nostalgia in his heart forced him to lie in a ghostly way, "Miss Xu is afraid that she heard it wrong, there is lightning and thunder outside, and it may hurt a little to ......cover it."
Although Xu Qinghe's brain has been hurting, the tinnitus has gradually weakened. She listened with bated breath for a while, but there was no thunder at all, and she couldn't help but wonder if Lord Thorn Shi was lying.
She struggled slightly, and said, "My lord, let's let go of the people's daughter!" It doesn't hurt much anymore. ”
Shen Ye heard what the woman said, so he had to reluctantly let go of his hands.
Xu Qinghe immediately took a step back, lowering his head and not daring to look at him. The burning heat on her face reminded her of what had really happened......
The two people in the pavilion were relatively silent, silent; The wind and rain outside the pavilion are blowing, and the call signs are endless.
Shen Yeqiang calmed his chaotic heartbeat, moved his gaze to the outside of the pavilion, and looked at the densely intertwined rain curtain, and there was no human voice around him for a long time.
He finally couldn't help but retract his gaze, looking at the woman half a step away, his cheeks were ruddy and no longer pale, and his deep voice sounded in the quiet pavilion, "Miss Xu, does your head still hurt?" ”
Xu Qinghe's heart was pounding by the man's low and gentle question, he still lowered his head, and shook his head slightly, "Thank you for your concern, the folk girl has gotten a lot better." ”
Shen Ye had no choice but to look away, "This rain has been accumulating for a day and a night, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while." ”
"Hmm." Xu Qinghe responded, thinking in his heart that it was raining so hard, why didn't his brother-in-law come to look for him?
Why don't you send an oil-paper umbrella! It's better than two people stranded in this rain-soaked pavilion......
There seemed to be a faint sound of thunder, Xu Qinghe subconsciously quickly covered his ears and closed his eyes.
Shen Ye's right hand had just stretched out, and when he saw this scene, he hung in the air and shook it, and took it back with a comfortable expression.
After a while, the thunder faded away, and only the sound of "boom-boom-" rain could be heard.
"The thunder has stopped, Miss Xu." Shen Ye couldn't help but smile and reminded.
Xu Qinghe tentatively slowly let go of his hands, but he didn't hear the thunder, so he opened his eyes, quickly put down his hand, and stared at the ground with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Shen Ye glanced at the courtyard not far away, and said to the woman, "Miss Xu, you are waiting here." I'll be right back. ”
After speaking, before Xu Qinghe could react, Lord Thorn Shi had already rushed into the rain curtain, and his figure was blurred in a moment.
Xu Qinghe had no choice but to wait alone in this pavilion, without the shelter of the tall figure, and after a while of the cold wind, he shivered. The cloudy wind and bitter rain constantly flew diagonally into the pavilion, bringing bursts of coolness and making people feel cold all over the body.
Half an hour later, I finally saw a figure rushing from the gray rain curtain.
Shen Ye rushed into the pavilion wrapped in wind and rain, his robe was soaked, and he clung tightly to his body. He raised one hand, hurriedly wiped the rain from his face, then took out a brocade quilt under his armpit, shook it open, and draped the dry side of the brocade quilt over the woman.
Xu Qinghe didn't dare to look directly at the man's soaked body, and only when he put a quilt on himself did he look up at him suspiciously, but he was amazed by the man's handsome appearance after being soaked.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a small figure is reflected in the dark and shiny eyes like washing. On the angular face, from time to time, one or two crystal raindrops flowed, all the way down, across the Adam's apple, and dripping on the chest......
Shen Ye saw the woman shivering, looked at him in a daze, and said with concern: "If Miss Xu feels cold, wrap the quilt tightly." In a hurry, I couldn't find the right rain gear. I had to get a brocade quilt first. ”
Xu Qinghe came to his senses when he heard this, and his white fingertips tightly tugged at the corners of the quilt at both ends.
The rain has been "whooshing-whooshing-" and there is no tendency to decrease at all.
Shen Ye glanced at the woman who was still shivering with cold wrapped in the quilt, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Xu, Shen is going to be reckless again." ”
Xu Qinghe suddenly looked at him in surprise, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Ye stepped forward, lifted the quilt up a little, covered the top of the woman's hair, and wrapped the quilt below tightly to ensure that the woman's entire body was covered, and only one pair of feet were left outside before stopping.
"What are you doing here, sir?" A muffled female voice came from the quilt.
Shen Ye hooked his lips and smiled, said "offended", then lifted the woman up, carried it on his shoulder, turned around and rushed into the torrential rain......
