Chapter 36: "Chance Encounter"
When she came back to her senses, she saw that Ji Cui was a little frightened by her expression, and hurriedly eased her expression.
He said softly: "The rain is lighter, let's go." ”
Ji Cui nodded vigorously and came back to his senses.
It seems that when she goes back, she also has to tell Mama Hu not to let begonia flowers appear in the courtyard.
She thought to herself as she followed the young lady with broken steps.
As soon as they came out of the flower shop, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them.
The figure was extremely fast, Ye Shuhua didn't have time to see it clearly, and the other party disappeared into the rain.
I felt that something was stuffed in my hand, and when I opened it, it was a note.
There are a few words written on it, Xu Fu Son-in-law.
The character is still written in pinyin.
Ye Shuhua couldn't help but wonder.
Who gave her a note, writing Xu Fu's sister-in-law, to tell her to be careful of him?
Xu Junying, the sister-in-law of the Xu Mansion, is a well-known gentleman, and in the first life, he skinned his own flesh and skin, even if there is no reminder from this note, she will be wary of him.
Not only that, but she will also let him die a bad death.
According to her plan, when the matter of Ye Mansion is resolved, she will find time to deal with Xu Junying.
If he wasn't honest and had to trouble her now, then she wouldn't mind ruining him in advance.
Ye Shuhua retracted her thoughts and put away the note first.
Glancing behind him, the light rain was dripping, and the pedestrians were decreasing, but I still didn't see the people I wanted to see.
said, "Let's go, go back to Ye Mansion." ”
She turned around and strode towards Ye's mansion, disappearing into the alley.
At the same time, on the other side of the street, horse-drawn carriages galloped by.
The wheels splashed on the ground, the curtains flew up, and a glimpse of a handsome face was glimpsed.
As soon as Yin Zixun got the news of Uncle Yin, he hurried to Sanxun Study, but he was still a step too late.
Uncle Yin said that she had just left, but the carriage drove through the streets where she might have walked, and she didn't meet her.
The weather became more gloomy, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and the light rain gradually became more rapid.
Seeing that the rain is about to rain again, it will rain again.
"Childe, there's no one on the street, are you still looking for it?" Nine fish drove the carriage, and the sound came into the carriage through the rain.
Yin Zixun sat at the window, lifted the curtain, and swept his eyes at the corner of Yujie Street.
He looked a little depressed, and said weakly: "Go back." ”
The carriage turned around and headed to the other side.
He leaned against the wall of the car, his head leaning against the edge of the window, the curtains blown up by the wind, and watched the shops outside the street washed away by the rain.
He hadn't seen her for three days, and he had never thought that missing someone could be so heart-wrenching.
Suddenly, a white shadow inadvertently flashed in his eyes, he was frustrated that he had not been able to successfully meet Ye Shuhua, and he didn't care at all.
It wasn't until the carriage had been driven for a while that he realized that he remembered the white shadow.
"Nine fish, quick, U-turn, U-turn!"
It was pouring rain outside, and Jiuyu was already drenched, and the rain slapped violently on his face.
He squinted and could barely see the way.
Just as he was thinking about going home quickly, he listened to Childe tell him to turn around.
He had to turn around and walk back.
Ye Shuhua was soaking wet, the broken hair on her sideburns was close to her scalp, and the rain was slowly flowing down both sides of her forehead.
A plain white shirt was wet, and the beauty was delicate.
The underwear has already been soaked, clinging to the skin, and it is very uncomfortable.
Ji Cui took the broken umbrella and wanted to remedy it, but the gust of wind was too strong just now, and the umbrella was blown away and hit the stake directly, shattering into three petals, and there was no way to remedy it.
Who would have thought that the rain would suddenly fall heavily and there would be a strong wind.
"I don't know if Zhu Yingxiao will come to pick us up and find us." Ji Cui threw away the useless broken umbrella, and shrank back to protect the young lady.
Fortunately, they didn't go far, although the flower shop had just closed, but there was a shed outside, which could barely cover a little bit.
They're hiding here.
Ye Shuhua also dragged Ji Cui to lean in, looking up at the gloomy sky, I am afraid that this rain will fall for a while.
"I guess so." Bamboo Shadow is very clever and should be here soon.
Just as they were thinking, a carriage pulled up in front of them.
Ji Cui was overjoyed, and said in her heart that she had just been talking about the bamboo shadow, why did she come?
happily stepped forward to see that it was not the bamboo shadow that drove the horse.
Ye Shuhua glanced at the carriage, it was not from Ye Fu, and he knew that it was not Zhuying.
She was standing just short of the man in sight, the windows were closed, and she couldn't see who was inside.
Suddenly, a man stepped out of the carriage with an umbrella.
When the umbrella is raised, the rain crackles on the surface of the umbrella, splashing countless fine water droplets, which fill the sky above the umbrella to form water vapor.
Rainwater drips down the edge into a beaded curtain.
Ye Shuhua looked at it, and the young man in Tsing Yi under the umbrella, like bamboo and pine, stood in the torrential rain.
The face is sickly, but it does not hide his handsome face at all, but in the heavy rain, there is a little more indescribable morbid beauty.
Same as when I first met him.
Let her feel pity.
It turned out to be him, how could he go out on such a rainy day?
She couldn't help but feel a glimmer of joy in her heart, but it was fleeting.
Yin Zixun saw at a glance that she was soaking wet, her lips were also purple from the cold, and she hurriedly took three steps and two steps.
It was only after two quick steps that he was a little panting.
"County Lord, get in the car, it's raining heavily, it's cloudy and cold outside, let's send you back."
The rain drowned out most of his voice.
Even if you get close, it's not too loud.
Ye Shuhua came back to his senses and looked back at his wet back and right shoulder.
The umbrella has long been placed on top of his head.
did not refuse, nodded slightly.
Now this situation does not matter to men and women.
Besides, if she insists on refusing, I am afraid that he will keep holding an umbrella to persuade himself like this, he is no better than himself, his body is weak, and he can't get drenched in the rain.
In the carriage, charcoal was simmering in the copper furnace, and the warm current suddenly wrapped around the body, driving away the cold.
Feeling the slight warmth, Ye Shuhua's already frozen limbs gradually regained consciousness,
Ji Cui wiped the rain from her cheeks and neck for the young lady, and Yin Zixun took out a white cloak from the burden behind her and handed it to her.
"It'll be warmer if you put it on."
His voice was soft, mixed with the crackling sound of the charcoal fire burning in the copper furnace, which was particularly nice.
"Thank you, Mr. Yi."
Ye Shuhua took it and draped it on her body.
There is still a faint smell of herbs left on his cloak, and it smells very good when you smell it carefully.
She pursed her lips, which were gradually warming up and turning purple, and the hand holding the cloak tightened secretly.
"Why is Mr. Yi here, there is something urgent to deal with?"
She was still surprised to see that it was him in the carriage.
Yin Zixun was asked, but he hadn't had time to think about this reason.
You can't say he's just here to see her, right?
After all, in addition to a few sides, they should not be familiar with each other.
To say that is too presumptuous and not credible.
He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and muttered for a while before he could only say, "I, I'll come out to relax." ”
Trip?
Ye Shuhua was puzzled, but looking at his hesitant appearance, she guessed that there should be something important, but it was inconvenient to say it to herself.
He just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
He took the teacup he handed over and took a sip.
The tea was slightly hot, and after taking a sip, the cold air dissipated again, and a warm current flowed into my heart.
Silent again, Ye Shuhua only lowered her eyes to drink tea, and Yin Zixun secretly glanced at her.
Ji Cui on the side had vigilance in his eyes, staring at Yin Zixun who was sitting opposite them, why did he keep staring at the young lady.
Although she thinks that others are really good because of his previous help to Miss, if he wants to think about his own Miss, it is not good!
Miss is from a pin Qingya county lord, how can he match a white dress?
Thinking like this, his eyes became even more hostile.
Feeling a beam of bad eyes, Yin Zixun reluctantly looked away and looked at the maid on the side.
only to find that she was staring at herself vigilantly, with a warning in her eyes.
He smiled politely, then lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and didn't look at Ye Shuhua again.
The carriage drove very fast, and it arrived at Yefu in a short time.
Yin Zixun secretly scolded Jiuyu, he didn't have any eyesight, so he didn't know how to drive slowly, did he have to be so fast?
He hasn't spent more time with Ye Shuhua.
Jiuyu: Childe, why don't you take a look at me first?
The nine fish have now become soup fish, and they are all drenched and dripping.
"Childe, Yefu has arrived."
Ye Shuhua got up and got out of the carriage with an umbrella, turned around and stood up and thanked him: "Thank you Mr. Yi for sending me back, the umbrella and cloak will be returned another day." ”
"Okay, then I'll ask the county lord for tea at that time, and the county lord won't drive me away again."
Ye Shuhua knew that he was talking about drinking tea with the fourth prince Li Su on the second floor of the study.
She smiled faintly, "That's nature, and it will be enough then." ”
Ye Shuhua turned around and entered the Ye Mansion, Yin Zixun looked at her back, and it was not until the door of the Ye Mansion was closed that he reluctantly looked away, put away the umbrella and got into the carriage and left.
As soon as she entered the gate of Yefu, she saw Mama Hu walking towards her by Zhu Yao.
"Miss, ouch, my miss, it's great that you're okay, but you scared the old slave to death."
Ye Shuhua smiled helplessly: "I'm just trapped by the rain, and I'm not lost, what are Mama Hu afraid of." ”
"Miss is delicate and expensive, how can you not let the old slave be afraid! It's another person outside, what if something happens? Zhuying came back by herself, leaving Miss alone, and the old slave had already reprimanded her! In the future, Miss will take her with her wherever she goes, she is Miss Guard, and she should be on guard day and night. ”
Hearing this, Ji Cui pouted a little unhappy, "Mama Hu, isn't there still me by Miss's side?" I can also do martial arts and protect Miss. ”
"Just your three-legged cat kung fu, that's called martial arts, it's almost the same as a cat's paw."
Ji Cui was teased by Mama Hu so much that she had nothing to say, in front of Zhuying, her martial arts were really cat's claws.
He closed his mouth and bowed his head and said nothing.
Ye Shuhua smiled, feeling that Mama Hu was making too much of a fuss, and said, "Mama Hu, don't worry, I can protect myself, besides, I asked Zhuying to come back with Zhu Yao and Zhuyue first." ”
"By the way, what about Zhuyue?"
Zhu Yao said: "Zhu Yue and Zhu Ying went to find Miss, and their subordinates will call them back." ”
Ye Shuhua nodded and walked towards Hua Tingyuan.
As she was walking, Mama Hu seemed to think of something, and took out an invitation from her arms and said.
"Miss, this is an invitation to Mrs. Yu's birthday banquet, I sent a post to Mrs. Ye, and I gave Miss a separate invitation to you, and I also said that Miss must go in two days."
Ye Shuhua's eyes were obscure, and she looked at the content of the invitation with slightly lowered eyes, thoughtful.
