Love entered the meditation room, which was small but extremely neat.

All the way to the wind and rain, is holding an umbrella, the cloak on the outside has also been soaked, simply there is a cloak on the outside, the dress inside is still dry, Love took off the cloak, put it on the hanger, and then picked up the dry towel hanging on the shelf to carefully wipe the rain on the dry face.

She was busy with herself here, and two servant women entered.

Both of them were holding things in their hands, one carrying a bucket of hot water and the other carrying a food box.

When the two saw Love, they respectfully greeted him: "The slave has been ordered to take care of Madame, and please don't dislike Madame." ”

Love excused the two of them, and the servant woman who carried the water stepped forward, poured hot water into the wooden basin, and said with a smile: "We have prepared a hot meal for Madame, Madame, please bathe first." ”

Love's hands were so cold that she soaked them in hot water for a while, and then cleaned her face with hot water, which made her feel more comfortable.

"Madame is drenched in the rain, let's prepare hot soup and hot food for Madame, Madame use it while it's hot, the slaves and maids are waiting next door, if there is anything, Madame can just ring the bell."

The two servants served Love's meal and withdrew.

After this toss, Love was indeed a little hungry at the moment, she sat at the table, drank a hot chicken soup first, and only began to eat slowly after her body was completely warmed.

After the meal, when the two servant women came to clean up, one of the servants gave a few small books to Love, and said with a smile: "This is what my cousin just ordered the little novice to send to his wife, and the rainy night is boring, so the lady should read a book to relieve her boredom." ”

As the daughter of the former princess, Love has read poetry and books since she was a child, and she never disdained to read such superficial little talk books, but despite this, she still took those little books and was polite to the servant woman again.

At night, the rain continued.

The servant woman put an oil lamp in Love's hand, and boiled a pot of hot tea on the stove on the desk, and in a few moments, the fragrance of tea filled the room.

There are a few plantain plants planted in front of the window, and the raindrops hit the plantain leaves with thunderbolts, playing a natural melody.

Love was bored, picked up the few small books sent by Sima Rui, she picked out one at random, and flipped through it casually to pass the time.

Some of these small books tell the twists and turns of the story of talented and beautiful people, and some record the legend of the fox ghost and flower fairy. It was unthinkable that on such a lonely rainy night, Love would really take these superficial little books into her eyes, until a servant woman yawned and came in to add charcoal, and she realized that the hour was not early.

The servant woman added a charcoal fire to the small furnace, and couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, it's already the third watch, you should be careful and sleep early." ”

Love put down the little book in her hand, stretched her waist long, extinguished the oil lamp at the bedside, and lay down in the warm quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

By the time Love woke up, it was already daylight, the rain had stopped, and the sun was shining.

When the servant saw Love wake up, she hurriedly prepared things for washing, and said with a smile: "Madame, please take a bath, Mrs. Fang Cai ordered someone to pass the word, saying that you will clean up and go to the front hall for breakfast." ”

Love was getting up late, and when she heard that Mrs. Tai was waiting for her to have breakfast, she hurriedly packed up, and when she was ready, and followed the servant woman to the front yard, Mrs. Tai and Sima Rui had been waiting for her for a long time.

Luo Fu hurriedly confessed to Mrs. Tai: "The concubine is late, and Grandmother Lao has been waiting for a long time, which is really a sin." ”

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you're still young, it's common to snooze for a while, come and have breakfast with your grandmother." ”

Love stepped forward respectfully and sat down before the old lady bowed.

The servants rushed forward, served soup and vegetables, and served them very diligently.

Mrs. Tai picked up the jade chopstick, lovingly took a bite of food for Love, and Love hurriedly replied "Thank you"

Mrs. Tai muttered: "It's all my fault for this old woman, I have to pull you to accompany me to incense, it rained, and I was wronged that you lived here yesterday, you must not have slept." ”

Although Mrs. Tai is gentle to everyone on her face, Love can feel that the old man treats her sincerely, so Love is not so restrained in front of Mrs. Tai, she replied with a smile: "If you don't sleep well, how can your granddaughter-in-law get up late, grandmother is too worried, I slept more peacefully here last night than in the house." ”

Mrs. Tai listened to this witty remark, and said with a smile: "It's good that you haven't been wronged." ”

Speaking, Mrs. Tai said again: "Yesterday I listened to the master's scriptures, it rained halfway, I was going to order someone to go to your aunt to pick you up, they said that the rain was heavy, if you take it back halfway will inevitably rain, I just gave up, but I remember it in my heart, I never thought that the rain would never end, and then I couldn't help but order the servants to pick you up, but when they returned, they said that you had already left Houzhuang." ”

Yesterday, she encountered rain halfway, and when Sima Rui came to pick her up, it was clear that Mrs. Tai ordered him to come.

Sima Rui told such a little lie, I'm afraid she would be embarrassed. In short, for his care, Love is still grateful.

"Yesterday I went back after a while with my aunt, and when it rained, I had already come back and not rained. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "Oh, that's good." ”

Sima Rui glanced at Love, and then said to Mrs. Tai: "It rained heavily yesterday, and the road will inevitably be muddy, so I will escort my grandmother and cousin back when the road is dry in the afternoon." ”

Mrs. Tai replied: "That's fine, I still haven't listened to half of Master Chasing Clouds' scriptures yesterday, and it's not too late to go back when I finish listening to this volume of scriptures." ”

After eating breakfast, Mrs. Tai took her servant to listen to the scriptures with her servants, and Sima Rui looked at Love and asked, "Since Xiang Wu only left, does my cousin still want to go to Houzhuang to visit the second aunt?" ”

Love replied: "It is a long way to go to Houzhuang, and the road must be muddy after the rain, and since my grandmother is about to set off after listening to the scriptures, I will not go there." ”

As she spoke, she thanked Sima Rui and said, "Thank you, cousin, for the little books that I ordered someone to bring yesterday, I looked very interesting, but I came out in a hurry and forgot to bring them out, and I will return them to you when I return in a while." ”

Sima Rui said: "Since my cousin likes to see it, I'll give it to you." ”

Love couldn't help but wonder: "These little books don't seem to be circulated in the market, where did my cousin get them?" ”

Sima Rui replied truthfully: "These little books were originally written by a small novice in this temple. ”

When Love heard this, she blurted out in surprise: "Can a little novice write the stories of those talented and beautiful women?" ”

As soon as she said this, Love realized that something was abrupt, and she couldn't help but lower her eyes.

Sima Rui smiled and replied: "These little books were later discovered by Master Chasing Clouds, and he said that the six roots of this little novice were not pure, and he drove him down the mountain to return to the world. Before leaving, the little novice left me these little books. ”

Love asked curiously, "I see, but I don't know what happened to this little novice after he was driven down the mountain?" ”

Sima Rui said: "I also have some relationship with this little novice, I saw him in the city half a year after he went down the mountain, he worked in a bookstore, and married the daughter of the bookstore owner. ”

As he spoke, a smile tugged at the corner of Sima Rui's mouth: "Look, Master Chasing Cloud said that his six roots are not pure, and it is indeed true." ”
