"It's raining so hard, and the mountain road is slippery, lady, let's stay here for one night?" Ah Xing leaned against the window, looked at the pouring rain outside, and said worriedly.

Zhuo Zhaojie sat in front of the window, pinching Zihao, feeling very embarrassed and regretful.

This was the first day after getting the order of the eldest princess and making it clear to Ning Shaobi, she came to Minpinghou first.

Minpinghou's summer retreat in Cuiwei Mountain is the same as in Chang'an City. Originally, the one closer to the palace was where Marquis Minping lived when he came to spend the summer, but since losing power, Marquis Minping moved to Cuiwei Mountain and lived in the courtyard of Rui Butterfly, which was far away from the palace and used to be where everyone in the Zhuo family lived.

This annex occupies a large area and has a good view, but the location is slightly remote, and it is quite far from the palace. The Danbao Pavilion is on the side of the palace, and since this Rui Butterfly Courtyard is far away from the palace, it is certainly not close to the Danbao Pavilion.

Originally, according to Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Fangli's intention this time, they wanted the family to live together, so that they could do their filial piety and let Min Pinghou enjoy the joy of family.

However, Minpinghou was worried about Shen Dangu's fate, and was worried that the situation was becoming more and more complicated now, and he was unwilling to fall short and ask his political enemies to seize any tricks, so he still insisted on keeping a distance from his family, and still lived in two places, and firmly implemented the strategy of closing the door and not asking about foreign affairs.

It's just that the other house where he lives is the opposite of the one he lives in with his juniors.

But he can't really see anyone, the courtiers don't see it, and the inner 'servants' sent by the emperor and queen to offer condolences are to be seen. The younger generation doesn't see it all, and he can see it once in a while, otherwise even if the emperor doesn't think that his jealousy is too much, so he doesn't like it in his heart, and he will let people with ulterior motives impeach him for being unkind, and he will end up with a handle in vain.

Especially Zhuo Zhaojie, this granddaughter is married to the Marquis of Yongcheng, listening to the rumors, after passing the 'door', she is very liked by her husband's family, and because of the Liang family, the queen treats her very well. belongs to the younger generation who will not have problems when she sees her, and Min Pinghou will not turn her away from the 'door'.

It's just that Minpinghou has always been silent, especially for the younger generations, although Zhuo Zhaojie chirped around his grandfather, but after Minpinghou lost power, in order to protect his descendants, he had to live in the mountains for a long time, and he was depressed in his heart, and after listening to it for a while, he became impatient.

But he has lived alone for many years, and it is rare for his granddaughter to come over, and he doesn't want to send his granddaughter away like this - after thinking about it, Minping Hou brought up the old matter again, and once again personally guided the homework of his granddaughter.

With such a guide, he was full of interest, and he continued to explain until noon.

Zhuo Zhaojie sympathized with his grandfather who lived alone and lonely, and now he didn't have any pressure to study his homework, so he couldn't bear to brush him off, but he also put on a serious posture.

The two grandparents and grandchildren had lunch with Helele, and after the meal, Zhuo Zhaojie only said that he could get out. didn't want Min Pinghou to go to a nap by himself, but left a homework for her.

Originally, Chenguang was counted, and after this homework was completed, it was probably Shenzhong. Now it is the height of summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the sky at the beginning of the year is still bright, so Zhuo Zhaojie agreed to come down.

I didn't want this to be the end, but a dark cloud drifted in the sky, and it rained heavily in a hurry. If it weren't for the copper leak in the house, I would have thought it was in the middle of the day when I looked at the sky at the moment.

If it's just late, you can turn on the lights. But the rain was so heavy, and the mountain wind was so strong that the treetops swayed wildly, and the whirring was terrifying.

Even if there are people to help and play umbrellas, the mountain road between the other courtyards has been mostly repaired, but this rain is slippery, in case you don't fall into the mountain stream carefully...... Where can Ah Xing and the others afford such a big thing?

The left and right Ruidie Villa is the place where Zhuo Zhaojie's grandfather is born, and it is nothing to stay for one night.

Of course, the people are in favor of Zhuo Zhaojie's 'sex' to stay for one night.

But Zhuo Zhaojie remembered that he had promised Ning Shaobi that he would go back earlier...... But it was a mistake.

She was holding the pen and was stunned, and the study was gently knocked, and she hurriedly said, "Come in." ”

The person who came in was Zhuo Xiang, he saluted respectfully and said, "Qi Niang, the prince is up." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly put down the embarrassment for the time being, got up to tidy up his dress, and went to the main hall to say goodbye.

Min Pinghou was already slowly sipping a cup of tea at the moment, and when he saw his grandson's daughter coming over, he didn't mention his homework, but said first: "The rain is too heavy today, but the rain in the mountains is also fast, don't go back now, wait and see, if the rain doesn't stop, just stay overnight, I have asked Ni Niang to clean up the house." The mountain road is slippery and stable. ”

He added, "I've already asked someone to tell you about the Dan Bao Pavilion." ”

He spoke, and for the sake of his granddaughter, Zhuo Zhaojie made a slight sigh, so he had to agree. The subordinates who came with her breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly felt 'excited' Min Pinghou.

If Zhuo Zhaojie insists on going back in the rain, once something happens on the road, their 'sexual' lives are difficult to protect, with Ning Shaobi's 'temperament', it will definitely affect the family; even if there is no accident on the road, with Ning Shaobi's person, after being afraid, he will definitely blame them for not dissuading Zhuo Zhaojie - but Zhuo Zhaojie really made up his mind, where can they stop it?

Now that it's okay, as soon as Minping Hou spoke, Zhuo Zhaojie's granddaughter' could only obey, and they also put a heart back in their throats.

However, when he was in the middle of the unit, Minping Hou sent to the Danbao Pavilion to explain that Zhuo Zhaojie's people who stayed in Ruidie Villa for one night had not returned, and someone from the Danbao Pavilion had opened the 'door' of the other courtyard first. As soon as he entered the 'door', he didn't even have time to wipe the rain on his face, so he said that Ning Shaobi saw the rain, and asked Zhuo Zhaojie not to walk in the rain, and he must live in the Ruidie Courtyard until the rain stops and the road is dry to a certain extent before going on the road.

The people who came knew that Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie had always been in love, for fear that Zhuo Zhaojie would not listen to persuasion, and even pointed to a few muddy waters on his body, indicating that he was a rough subordinate, who had always been strong and agile and flexible, and he still went on the road lightly, and fell several times on the road, and once he was almost swept down the cliff by a sudden wind.

Hearing him say this, Ah Xing and the others all changed their faces, and they were busy letting Zhuo Zhaojie stop.

Zhuo Zhaojie was a little reluctant to spend the night outside, but hearing this person say that it was dangerous, he also dispelled this idea.

Mrs. Neon was beside her, but she took the opportunity to say that a house had been prepared for her.

Zhuo Zhaojie talked to Min Pinghou again, and sighed at the abruptness of the rain.

The rain continued to rain until the beginning of the day. After dinner, Zhuo Zhaojie talked to Minpinghou again, and saw that Minpinghou was tired, so he took his leave, and asked Mrs. Ni, who was waiting beside him, to guide her to the house prepared for herself.

Mrs. Ni hurriedly said: "It's better for the concubine to lead the way as Qi Niang." ”

Although she is the one who serves the Marquis of Minping, the identity of the concubine seems to be much different from the next person in the granddaughter of Zhuo Zhaojie, who is born and favored. Seeing that Minping Hou had already asked Zhuo Xiang to serve, he was not polite.

Madame Ni accompanied her out of the main hall—the sky should have been bright at this time, but now it was a swarthy patch, like ink splashing, and outside the railing, the rain was as heavy as a plench, illuminated by the light under the porch, as if it were a shining curtain.

In the rumbling, Mrs. Ni said softly: "Qi Niang is going this way." ”

One of the advantages of this courtyard is that there is a corridor between all the houses, and the corridor and the house are raised three feet above the flat ground to prevent 'moisture'. Therefore, although the rain is extremely heavy today, when a group of people walk on the corridor, they only need to take an umbrella to block the torrential rain that is occasionally blown in by the mountain wind, and they do not need to change their umbrellas.

While leading the way, Mrs. Ni took advantage of the sound of rain to cover up, but whispered in Zhuo Zhaojie's ear: "Shen Langjun is also in the other courtyard these days, but Qi Niang can rest assured, his courtyard is far away from Qi Niang's courtyard. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Why is he here?" ”

"Junhou wants to personally instruct Shen Langjun in his homework, so ......" In fact, Zhuo Zhaojie came back to his senses as soon as he asked, Minpinghou not only loved Shen Dangu's talent, but also pondered to find a helper for Wufang in the future, and spent a lot of effort on Shen Dangu, but last year Shen Dangu did not end up for various reasons...... Of course, Min Pinghou had to pay close attention to his homework and not let him slack off and relax.

After all, learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Min Pinghou values Shen Dangu and takes Shen Dangu everywhere It is not once or twice, Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised and didn't take it to heart, Shen Dangu said that it was the Shen family, but he grew up in the Zhuo family, and he was also a serious relative. ”

Mrs. Ni pursed her lips and smiled, "Shen Langjun studied hard, and he has been eating and drinking in his yard for the past few days, and he doesn't leave the house. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie was even more relieved.

When I arrived at the courtyard arranged by Mrs. Ni, this courtyard was actually a bit remote - I don't know if Mrs. Ni arranged it so because this courtyard was the farthest from Shen Dangu's courtyard?

However, although it is remote, it is arranged to live in the grandson of the Marquis of Minping, and now it is the hot son of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion to live, and it is not bad in the end, and the "door" is opened, although it is a rainy night, you can also see the shadow of the rockery trees in the courtyard, if it is daytime, there is a different world here.

When I got to the cloister and lit the lamp in the house, I could see that the furnishings in the house were also very gorgeous, and I could see that many things had just been moved from the side, and the room was smoked with a faint aroma of ambergris.

Mrs. Ni apologized: "In a hurry, there is nothing decent in the library of the other courtyard, and the concubine is stupid, if there is any omission, I hope that Qi Niang Haihan!" ”

"Left or right but for one night." Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head and said, "That's it, I'm tired of you accompanying me this time." ”

When Mrs. Ni heard this, she sent herself to retreat, smiled slightly, and retired with these words.

Zhuo Zhaojie listened to Min Pinghou's lectures and did his homework during the day, and he struggled for a long time about whether to go back or not, which would have been tiring for a long time.

Soon after Mrs. Ni left, the rough envoys in the courtyard were ordered to bring water. Zhuo Zhaojie was served by Ah Xing and Ah Li to be 'served' and freshened up, and then fell asleep.

It's just that although she is tired, Zhuo Zhaojie sleeps very unsteadily, she has no habit of recognizing the 'bed', but this mountain rain is too big, and the rumbling rain sound is like a waterfall hanging outside the window, which makes her upset, and she remembers Ning Shaobi, so she was woken up by the sound of rain after sleeping for a while at first, and she couldn't sleep anymore.

In such a noisy environment, Ah Xing, Ah Li and the others who were keeping vigil outside slept soundly, after all, they were subordinates, not as delicate as her.

Zhuo Zhaojie tossed and turned on the couch for a long time, but he felt more sober. She was depressed when she suddenly heard soft footsteps in the corridor.

The sound is very light and light, if it is not for the height of the cloister, if there is any movement above, it will form an echo under the cloister, and the cloister and the house are all wooden, Zhuo Zhaojie is now lying on the couch, and the sound is transmitted along the floor to the pillow and then to her ears. In this rainy night, it was impossible to detect it.

Zhuo Zhaojie at first only said that Chuqiu and Liqiu, who had not accompanied the night, got up to go to the night, but the footsteps stopped outside her window without hesitation!

With a flash of purple lightning, a tall man was suddenly reflected on the window paper!

She was suddenly fully conscious, and did not hesitate to call for help—however, the next moment, she saw the man raise his hand, and a narrow shadow was clearly cast into the window by the next bolt of lightning!

Such a rainy night...... Even if you shout for help, I'm afraid it won't be able to reach the courtyard.

With these weak 'women' around him, even if they are all woken up, I am afraid they may not be the opponent of this man who comes with a blade!

Zhuo Zhaojie's soul flew away in an instant, and between the thoughts of electricity, she swallowed the exclamation that came to her mouth, but she immediately closed her eyes, slowed down her breathing, and made it look like she was still asleep...... Heaven bless.
