(8) Past life one

Her name is An Yue, and she is the daughter of a talented family in Baizhu Village, Luqiao Town.

This Xiucai lost his father when he was young and was pulled by his old mother.

Orphans and widows, it's not easy, but fortunately, he competes, and he won the show when he was young, but I don't know if it's bad luck or his talent is limited.

He has a good temperament and has learned to let go.

He is diligent, hard-working, single-minded, not only ran a private school in the village, but also married the wife of his childhood sweetheart, and the two bought fields together, loving and loving, and lived a prosperous life.

But his middle-aged luck was really bad, and he fell on the ox cart of the poor people in the same village, and the pillars of the family seemed to be about to fall from then on.

And because of the continuous thefts in the home, as well as the injuries and illnesses of him and his old mother, the family has little left, and life looks really sad.

Fortunately, this talented girl is still quite competitive, and she originally went to the town academy to teach, so that she could earn some silver taels and reduce the burden on the family.

At the beginning of April of that year, she also went to the only academy in the town to teach.

Since then, it has changed her life.

On that day, it was the day when I said I would go to the academy.

A petite girl jumped out of the carriage, the clouds were cloudy outside, and she was about to change the sky again, she was still good before she went out, this April, it was really said that the sky would change.

She carried the burden on her back, quickly took out the silver taels from the money bag, and paid it to the coachman Li who sent her over, she smiled and said goodbye to the coachman Li, looked at the sky, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the teahouse.

At this time, the clouds overhead looked a little more, and the light rain was like silk, and suddenly it fell gently, maybe the light rain was too small, and she didn't hear the sound of ticking, but her green silk was still wet.

She hurried her steps and hurriedly ran up, passing by the stone bridge all the way to rush into the teahouse.

Mr. Zhou asked the people in the same village to send her a message two days earlier, and asked her to wait in the teahouse next to the stone bridge in the south of the town when she came, and he would send someone to pick her up.

In fact, she could go directly to the academy by herself, but Mr. Zhou called someone to talk about it, and she went to the teahouse to wait according to his words.

In the teahouse at the other end of the stone bridge, a man in a white brocade robe is wearing a thin white cloak, holding a folding fan and looking at both sides of the street.

The light rain fell gently, and the breeze blew, the wind chimes under the eaves of the teahouse rang, the green and crisp, listening to a different taste, the man in the white brocade robe glanced at the wind chimes, with a faint smile on his face, he looked out of the street again, and a girl wearing a blue dress appeared in his sight, the girl hurriedly ran into the teahouse with a burden, her hair was wet a lot by the light rain, and the dress on her body was also a little wet, a pair of moist big eyes were looking around blankly, and the face without powder was bright and moving.

The man in white looked her up and down, secretly guessing in his heart that it was her.

Then he walked closer to her.

He is eight feet tall, handsome, wearing a white brocade robe on his body, looking particularly graceful, smiling, handsome and gentle, and looking much better than the sons and buddies in Luqiao Town.

Holding a folding fan and wearing white deerskin boots on his feet, he walked up to her unhurriedly, smiled at her, and said, "Dare to ask the girl, but her surname is An?

An Yue was stunned for a moment, and looked at the strange and handsome man in front of him who was much taller than himself.

She blushed, lowered her eyes, her heart fluttered, and she replied a little softly and excitedly: "Yes, it's called An Yue~" Her face became more and more ruddy, and she was very nervous, a little distracted~

The man in white looked at her like this, and felt inexplicably cute in his heart.

"That's right, in Xia Fan Wenshu, it was Mr. Zhou who asked me to come and pick you up. ”

An Yue lowered his head and nodded with a red face.

Fan Gongzi saw her appearance, looked at her blushing appearance, and felt more and more cute in his heart, he looked at the somewhat wet dress again, pondered for a moment or two, and said: "Your dress is a little wet, be careful of freezing." As he spoke, he untied his thin white cloak and draped it over An Yue's body.

An Yue lowered her eyes, her face was slightly red, she wanted to refuse but didn't refuse, but her body reacted faster than her brain, her hand had quietly grabbed the cloak draped on her body, and said softly: "Thank you, childe." ”

"No thanks, no thanks. ”

An Yue glanced up at him, and then he saw it carefully and thoroughly, the young man in front of him was fair-skinned, nearly eight feet tall, with jet-black green silk in a delicate white jade hair crown, and his handsome face was full of smiles.

Her heart was pounding, and she looked at him intently, scorching, and glancing.

It was only later that she found out.

It turns out that the glimpse written in the book really exists.

It turns out that the suave, clear and handsome man written in the book really exists.

The man looked at her intently, and felt more and more cute about her, he was interested, asked her more things, knew the basic situation of her family, and learned that she also had a younger brother, her father was an old talent, and her parents had a very good relationship.

The two chatted for a while, Fan Gongzi looked at the rain as if it was going to stop, he thought about it, and explained that An Yue was waiting for him in the teahouse for a while, An Yue nodded suspiciously, and he also found a place for An Yue to sit and wait for him.

Then the man went to borrow an oil-paper umbrella from Xiao Er in the teahouse, walked to the teahouse and stretched it out, and walked into the rain.

An Yue has been sitting in the teahouse waiting, waiting bored, she looked at the other people in the teahouse who are resting here to hide from the rain and drink tea, among them there are several adult men, several women, and several grandmothers, with children~

An Yue took a look at the teahouse again, the inside of the teahouse was not built well, but the bamboo wind chimes hanging under the eaves on the first floor sounded when the wind came, and the green and crisp wind chimes added characteristics to this teahouse.

An Yue thought to himself, the owner of this teahouse should be an elegant person.

After waiting for a while, the light rain outside had turned into a string of soybean-like rain, smashing on the ground of the town street one by one, and a man in white held a white oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and carried a white oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

The white deerskin boots worn by the man stepped under the eaves of the teahouse, then put away the white oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and went to find the teahouse shopkeeper to return the oil-paper umbrella to him.

Then he took a white oil-paper umbrella that he had just bought at the grocery store to look for An Yue.

An Yue was obediently sitting in the position he explained, and when he saw him coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him, and the man saw her approaching him, with a good-looking smile on his face, and said: "Let's go, I just went to buy an oil-paper umbrella, I look at the rain, and if I wait, it is estimated that it will not stop." ”

An Yue's eyes flashed with great moisture and nodded.

Then one after the other, he walked to the door of the teahouse, and then the man in white opened the umbrella, and then escorted An Yue to the academy with the umbrella.

There are many shops on both sides of the town street, there are taverns, pawnshops, grocery stores, restaurants, etc., probably because of the rain, there are not many pedestrians on the streets of the town, the man with the umbrella carefully protects the woman on his side, the rain in April, one after another, overwhelmingly hit the ground, on the umbrella, the bright woman who is carefully protected under the white oil-paper umbrella, look up, look at the man on the side, Xu is close, she also smells the good smell on his body, what is the smell, she can't tell.

She pretended to take two puffs of his body casually, only to feel sweet and warm, as if today, this rain, look at it is not so annoying.

The day when the light rain in April turned to heavy rain was the first time she and he met.

The man who was gentle, smiled warmly, and carefully guarded her away, has lived in her heart ever since.

From now on, even if she has been wandering in the underworld for hundreds of years, she has never forgotten today, let alone him.

The two finally walked to the academy, and the man in white knocked on the courtyard door, and said to the girl beside him: "Wait a while, I don't know if the people inside can hear it so easily when it's raining heavily." ”

An Yue looked at him and smiled, "It's nothing." ”

The man in white smiled at her bright and moving face, and laughed along.

He knocked on the door of the academy twice, and finally waited for the student who opened the door.

Then he took her into the academy, and then took her to the backyard to see Mr. Zhou, who had been waiting in his study for a long time.

After meeting Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou explained some things to her, and she went to the room that Mr. Zhou arranged for her to live.

It was still raining outside, and in the stove room, a man in white instructed a mother-in-law surnamed Niu to boil some hot water, he waited for the hot water to boil, and then instructed Granny Niu to find a clean wooden barrel, fetch some hot water, and mixed some cold water, and then he carried the wooden bucket himself, held an umbrella, and went to the room that Mr. Zhou arranged for An Yue to live.

After a while, in the simple room, a man walked in with a bucket of warm water, he first put the wooden bucket in the room, then put away the umbrella, stood by the door frame, and then ignored An Yue's surprised gaze, and carried the wooden bucket into it.

After the wooden barrel was put away, he said to An Yue, who was still surprised: "I brought you a bucket of warm water, just walked so far in the rain, I saw that your embroidered shoes seemed to be wet, you use this water, wash your feet, change a pair of embroidered shoes, by the way, did you bring a clean handkerchief? Did the cow mother-in-law in your room prepare a clean wooden basin for you? I'll go and show you~"

An Yue looked at him a little dumbfounded after saying those words?

Wash your feet?

Wash your feet?

She turned around and looked at the man in white who was still looking for a clean wooden basin, her bright and moving face suddenly turned a little red, she looked at his figure, opened her mouth and said, "Thank you~"

She opened her mouth again and continued, "You're so nice, thank you very much." ”

The man who was looking for the wooden basin only heard a hearty laugh, "Say thank you, hurry up and change into a pair of clean embroidered shoes, change into a clean dress is the right thing, I see that your dress is also a little wet~"

Then, he found two clean wooden basins and came out, one smaller and one larger, he took them and put them next to the wooden barrel, and smiled at An Yue: "You hurry up and change it, I'll go back to the next door first, by the way, my room is next door, if there is anything, you can call me!"

An Yue nodded, looked at him again, and found that his hair was a little messy, and the clothes on the left side of his upper body were a little wet, she thought about it, he had been protecting himself on the way to the academy, and his clothes should have been wet at that time.

An Yue looked at him a few more times, but still didn't speak.

The man had already smiled, walked to the door, picked up the umbrella and opened it, and walked out, not forgetting to turn back and help her close the door.

An Yue looked at the closed door, red face, and began to fetch water again, then used the smaller wooden basin to beat more than half a basin of warm water, and then took the water around the screen, took off his clothes, revealing a plump and moving body, began to wipe his body a little, and then changed into the clean clothes he brought in his baggage, and when he was done, she suddenly remembered the thin white cloak that she put on the screen at will, she looked at the cloak, and she didn't know what the material was, it was better than the material she had seen before, and it was softer to the touch, she stretched out her white hand to take the screen, thinking, she would send him back in a while, she touched the cloak again, still couldn't tell what it was, and then carefully put it on the screen.

Then she went to fetch warm water from the large wooden basin, and went to the embroidery stool in front of the desk by the window, and went to get a pair of clean embroidered shoes from the baggage, and then went to sit on the embroidery stool, lifted the hem of her skirt, took off the soaked embroidered shoes and cotton socks, and put her small white feet into the large wooden basin with warm water.

The water in the wooden basin was warm and warm, she lowered her head, looked at her feet in the wooden basin, and looked at the warm water, remembering the appearance of Fan Gongzi who had just come with the wooden bucket, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the next room, the man in white, holding an oil-paper umbrella, went to the stove room, waited for a while, carried a bucket of clean warm water, went to his room, and then began to wipe himself a little in his room, and changed his clothes and boots.

Then he sat down at the desk by the windowsill, spread out a piece of rice paper, grinded the ink, he listened to the rain outside the window, thought about it, opened the window, and then the breath of mist rushed to his face, Fan Gongzi shook his head, and only looked at the drizzle outside.

He looked at the drizzle for a long time, and then thought of An Yuelai, who had already lived in the next room, and thought that when he just went out, he saw the blush on An Yue's face, and smiled, An Yue, An Yue, what a lovely girl.

Then he sat down, made an embroidery stool in front of the desk, picked up a pen and glued ink, and began to draw on plain white rice paper the teahouse where the two met for the first time today.

After painting for a while, after painting the teahouse, he began to paint both sides of the street with the teahouse, and then, under a white oil-paper umbrella, two figures.

After half a ring, when the painting was finally finished, he glanced at it, smiled with satisfaction, then thought about it, took out his seal, dipped it in the cinnabar in the corner of the desk, dipped the seal in the cinnabar, and printed it on the corner of the painting.
