Hui Lan was still worried there, and the guards didn't know when they came over. If it weren't for Biyu shouting, Huilan would probably be taken aback.

"Girl, I don't know when this rain will stop. It was already dark, and it wasn't long before it was over. Guard Zeng stood beside Hui Lan and looked outside.

Hui Lan looked at him and didn't speak, her eyes were full: And then?

"I mean, the two girls are in the house and tidying up, let's go back to the city immediately." The guard stated his purpose.

Turning her head to look at the rain curtain and the rising water vapor, Hui Lan was quite entangled. "How to get there?"

"The girl's carriage is from the house, and it is stronger than ordinary carriages. The horses pulling the cart were covered with hats from beginning to end, the girl and the cousin sat in the car, Zhou Qi and Chen Wu drove, and I explored the road in front. The rest of the people stayed here until the rain stopped tomorrow. "Guard Zeng probably has already thought about it, and he said it clearly.

Hui Lan glanced at the guard in a tangled way, he was really ruthless. "How far is it from entering the city, and how long do you have to walk?" He is ruthless, and Hui Lan can't bear to let him explore the way on foot in the heavy rain, which is too inhumane.

Guard Zeng turned his head to look at Hui Lan and then turned to look outside, "As long as you go out of the farm and go to the official road, it doesn't matter, I have to chase the wind." ”

Huilan gritted her teeth and turned around and walked inside, her face a little red. She must have just woken up and not come back to her senses, or she was drenched in stupidity. Otherwise, how could he have such a stupid idea, thinking that he would walk and explore the way, all the way to the city gate.

Society death, social death, Hui Lan entered the house in shame and indignation.

The cousin in the house had already sat up, and the maids were awake. Seeing her come in, the maid saluted, and her cousin beckoned her to pass.

Hui Lan took a few deep breaths and walked over, "Cousin, did you hear what Uncle Zeng said?" ”

Cousin Wang shook her head, the rain rumbled outside, and she didn't hear the words. She reached out and untied Huilan's half-wet cloak, and took a handkerchief for her to wipe.

Hui Lan couldn't take care of cleaning up for the time being, so she called the maids to the side of the kang and said the opinion of the guards. A few girls had no opinion, they all nodded, and Cousin Wang nodded in response after a moment's silence.

So Biyu went out and reported to the guards that he was going to pack up and prepare, and the house began to be cleaned up. Hui Lan changed into clean clothes, approved the saro cloak, and explained the matter, "Liu Ya, the money bag is left for you, don't be stingy with food, drink and housing, don't suffer losses." Let's go, you and Huazhi will take the lead here, and everything will be discussed. ”

Both girls answered, and a quarter of an hour later, they met outside the house. The guards also came out, except for a few who were going to leave, wearing hats and robes, everyone else was equipped with homely equipment. The carriage had stopped at the foot of the steps, just waiting for them to get on.

"In addition to protecting these four girls, you also have to eat and sleep. I instructed Liu Ya to take the lead, and if there is anything missing, look for her. But after all, this is someone else's house, so you have to save trouble as a guest. Huilan asked her cousin to get in the car first, and explained a few words to the guards before boarding the car and leaving.

It took less than an hour to get out of the city and almost two hours to enter the city. By the time they saw the city gate, it was already dark, and Huilan almost cried with joy, so hungry, cold, and thrilling.

Fortunately, the carriage roof has a layer of waterproofing, otherwise it would definitely be cold.

There were the Wang family and the Gu family waiting at the gate of the city, the eldest cousin of the Wang family and the second cousin of the Gu family were there, and they were all relieved to see their figures.

Seeing that her second cousin Huilan was also relieved, she was worried that she would not be able to enter the city gate closed.

The two sides will meet, and they are more excited about each other. In view of the fact that they returned in the rain and the situation was unknown, neither side delayed their greetings and talks, but were in a hurry to go home.

Hui Lan and her cousin are not in good spirits, it has rained for a long time, the temperature has dropped, and they haven't eaten much, they are all cold and hungry. After saying goodbye briefly, they put on the cloak provided by the family, got into the new carriage, and went back to their respective homes.

got into the car, didn't care about talking to the narcissus in the car, and Hui Lan confessed: let Uncle Zeng and the two guards also take a carriage home, especially Uncle Zeng is not allowed to ride a horse anymore. Hearing that her second cousin answered, she lay down with a blanket.

Someone changed her shoes and socks and poured ginger soup. Hui Lan coughed spicily, but felt a cloud of hot air rise from her stomach and spread to her limbs. Dry and warm, she finally came back to life!

Good guy, this day has been turbulent, Huilan squinted her eyes and sighed. I just hope that everyone will not get sick, so they will burn incense and pray for blessings, and there must be a happy ending.

Tossed home, Huilan was sent into the house in a groggy state. I barely cheered up and took a hot bath, and ate a bowl of chicken soup and silver noodles. Before her hair dried, Huilan had already fallen asleep.

It wasn't until the second Hui Lan Tian woke up that she had no fever or cough, and the whole family was relieved.

The rain hasn't stopped, but it's a lot lighter than yesterday. I heard Narcissus say that it rained heavily all night yesterday, and the spirit should not be wanted.

Hui Lan barely returned from the calamity, and of course she nested in the house for a day. She was most concerned about the group of people outside the city, and although she heard from Narcissus that the guards had already reported it, she still didn't feel at ease and told her aunt who came to see her after breakfast.

Her aunt comforted her, "Don't worry, the rain is light today, and as soon as the city gate is opened, the steward has been sent to bring three carriages for the rainy time." Even if the road is difficult, I will be back by noon at the latest. ”

Huilan was relieved, and then accepted a series of loving saliva from her aunt. Hui Lan let go of her thoughts, and listened obediently while eating the tonic with a smile on her face. And from her mouth, she heard that the south is much worse than the capital, and it has already suffered.

"Chao Shang is busy with disaster relief for a while, your uncle stays in the yamen every day, and your uncle hasn't come back for a few days. Yesterday, the capital also suffered such a heavy rain, I heard that from yesterday to today, there are houses in the city that leak water, and some have collapsed. Your two cousins were sent back yesterday after noon, but luckily they did, otherwise no one would have picked you up. The aunt sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Huilan's hand and sighed, Huilan didn't think much about it, and smiled comfortingly.

"What a big girl, why is she always heartless." My aunt looked at Hui Lan with a bright smile and said, "You don't know, several carriages overturned yesterday and several horses broke their hooves. I don't know how many people fell, and I was so scared that my heart was about to jump out. After saying that, she patted her chest with palpitations.

With a long sigh, Hui Lan couldn't help but feel palpitations. Yesterday they were lucky, and although they were slow along the way, they finally came back safely and smoothly.

The aunt sat for a while, and the old lady and the eldest lady also sent people to see her and deliver things. Hui Lan pulled them to talk, fully expressing her gratitude to the two of them and showing that she was safe and sound.

After serving tea and giving rewards, the two messengers happily said goodbye and went back. When they left, her aunt pressed her down on the bed, "It's okay left and right, let's sleep more and recuperate." ”

The thief that Huilan promised was happy, and she also planned to do so. Then the aunt told the maid a few more words and went back.

When she woke up almost noon, she knew that Liu Ya and they were all back, and Hui Lan was completely relieved. Let Narcissus spread the word, everyone has two days off to rest, and she has covered the medicine for medical advice if she is uncomfortable, and then she will be on an errand after recuperation.

Finally, with the blessing of the Taoist monarch and the completion of the circle, Huilan decided to go to Tianchang to worship more in the future.

The rain rained for several days, except for the third day, when it stopped for half a day, and it continued to fluctuate greatly and continuously. Hui Lan took advantage of the rain for half a day, and hurried to ask Narcissus to take someone to send the begging talisman to her cousin, and by the way, it was good to see her grandfather and cousin.

sent Liu Ya, who had returned to work, to take the little girl to Li Mansion to see her parents and the situation at home.

Good news from both sides, all in order. Her maternal grandmother and cousin brought her some food, and Uncle Li brought her a handwritten book on fruit eating and a letter from Xiao Lie. Okay, this rain has directly blocked the traffic, and everyone is in the same style as the island.

There were more mentions in the handwritten letter passed by Uncle Li, and Hui Lan mainly picked up the news of the rain in various places and looked at it. This is much more detailed and serious than what my aunt said. Not only on both sides of the Yangtze River, but also in Huguang, Yunnan-Guizhou, coastal areas, and Guanzhong, there are also many rains and disasters.

Alas, listening to the sound of rain starting again outside the window, it was really a disaster.

Xiao Lie's letter didn't say anything, but he was lucky and entered the capital the day before yesterday. He couldn't hide his joy and happiness in the letter, and Huilan was also happy for him.

Until August 30, Wang Yu and Lu did not stop the rain, and everyone braved the rain to participate in the ceremony. It is estimated that it is rainy, and there are a lot fewer people who come than the previous lady and the lady. In addition, everyone is a little wilted, but there is no excitement.

Before going to bed at night, Huilan was still worried, and she was going to open the dragon gate on the fifth day of the ninth month, which was too inconvenient. The Gongyuan is only used once every three years, and it has been raining for so long, it is cold, damp and cold, and I don't know if there is any leakage or something. are all weak scholars who study hard in the cold window, but don't toss and get sick, then you will be a cheat.

As a result, when I woke up the next day, I felt that the sky was brighter than before. Hui Lan was calm and didn't hear the familiar sound of rain, and couldn't help but be surprised. couldn't help but groan, turned over and sat up violently, and was about to get out of bed as soon as he pulled the tent open.

was held down by the narcissus who was on night duty outside in a hurry, "Girl, slow down, the ground is wet and cold." Don't worry, the rain will stop. I got up early to go out to get hot water, the clouds had already dispersed, and I saw that the sun was coming out soon. ”

"Haha, that's great, I need to go out and have a look." Hui Lan was excited when she heard the letter, and she was anxious to see it for her to be believing. After Narcissus finished speaking, she had already squatted down to put on her shoes, and after putting on her shoes, she found a thick cloak for Huilan to put on.

The house is tight, and there are spices to remove moisture, and Huilan does not feel cold when she wears her bedclothes. But you have to pack tightly to go out, and with the rain, the temperature also drops. Single clothes such as leno silk cannot be worn, and middle clothes have become commonly used equipment.

Hui Lan put on her cloak, hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, and then out of the hall, and watched the sky under the cloister. Sure enough, the dark clouds that had been pressed by the black before had basically dispersed. The sky was bright white with a few thick white clouds dotted with dots. The most gratifying thing is the continuous morning glow on the horizon and the red arc showing a little head.

Haha, it's finally clear after the rain, that's great.
