Chapter 40: The First Break of the Heavy Rain
February 22, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, Shenshi, Tianbao Pavilion E-courtyard]
Murong Yan looked at the large box of ancient books sent by his second brother, and the expression on his face was excited and happy. In Tianbao Pavilion, everyone knows that Miss's favorite thing in her life is to read books, especially to read some unique ancient books. Moreover, Miss also has a talent for forgetting, she has an amazing memory, and the books she has read, even after more than ten years, still remain in her mind and remember them clearly. This time, Li Ci, the king of Jin, brought a large box of ancient books in one go, and several of them were rare books that Murong Yan had painstakingly searched for but could not find. At this moment, she is holding these precious ancient books in her hand, how can she not be overjoyed in her heart?
"Second brother, that's great! This "Plum Classic" tells the method of planting and cultivating twenty-seven kinds of plum trees. I searched all the ancient books, and I only found twenty-four. There are actually three kinds of plum blossoms with different colors in this book! Second brother, don't you still think that there are few flowers in your courtyard? At the beginning of spring this year, my little sister will try to plant these three kinds of plum trees for you......" Murong Yan flipped through the "Plum Sutra" and couldn't help but say happily while reading it.
"Third sister, with your body and bones, let's stay in the courtyard honestly and rest! The second brother's courtyard has been planted with flowers and plants by you, and it really can't accommodate it!" Murong Huan sat aside, continued to taste his favorite Huayu tea, and replied with a smile with his sister.
"Second brother, your Ding Courtyard is so big, don't I have to worry about helping you with more more?" Murong Yan sat opposite her second brother and pouted and smiled.
"The third sister is doing well, so let's leave a little open space for the second brother's courtyard! The second brother won't tell you that a few friends from my rivers and lakes came to my courtyard a few days ago. When they saw the beautiful scene of the fragrant flowers and trees, they almost thought they had entered the imperial garden in the palace?!" Murong Huan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"That's good! The second brother knows how to fight and kill all day long. You men are either fighting for their lives or profit-seeking all day long, so what's the fun of living like that? Get some exotic flowers and plants to plant in the yard, watch the delicate face of the petals every day, and breathe the fragrance of the stamens, such a day is called wonderful!" Murong Yan raised his head at his second brother, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly.
"This ...... What the third sister said is really reasonable!" Murong Huan gave a thumbs up. Immediately, he blinked again and said: "I said third sister, since you like to plant flowers and read books so much, I heard that the Jin Palace's palace is full of all kinds of famous flowers in the world, and there must be countless good books hidden in his palace." Why don't you just ...... the third sister?"
"Second brother!" Murong Yan casually picked up a plum core that had just been spit out of her mouth and threw it at her second brother's head. She pretended to be angry and said, "Don't mention this person! I will be angry when you mention him! His wife has just passed away, and he is in such a hurry to marry a new love." Moreover, this man is still so faceless and skinless, I have said countless times that I will never see him again, and he will come!"
Murong Huan pointed to the big wooden box full of books, and said with a smile: "However, that box of books was given by this King of Jin who 'makes you angry'!"
Murong Yan ate another snowflake bayberry, raised her head and shook her head in the air, with a look of scoundrel and denied it, Gu said to herself: "Is this...... I don't care! I only know that this box of books was sent by the second brother. Then I'll just think that these books are given to my little sister by my second brother......"
Murong Huan was drinking tea at this time, and after listening to his third sister's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He shook his head and sighed: "Ahem! I thought that among our four brothers and sisters, I was the thickest-skinned, but I didn't expect that in front of the third sister, the second brother was still willing to bow down!"
Murong Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "Second brother, although this person's character is not very good, the books he gives are all good books......! Besides, how could he, a prince who was idle and idle, have the heart to read books well? Those good books are placed in him, and they are really tyrannical!"
Murong Huan nodded and said: "The third sister is right! This box of rare books, I really don't know how much effort this person spent to raise it? If it weren't for him, a prince of Wuzhu, an ordinary big family, even if he spent his whole life and used all his money, he might not be able to raise such a complete fund! It's ridiculous that this person tried his best to win the third sister's smile, but how did he know that the third sister only used one trick of 'iron work', and he lost all his previous achievements! Not only did he lose a box of good books, but in the end, he didn't even see half of the third sister's face......
Murong Yan laughed and said: "The second brother said it is too interesting, what kind of 'iron skin skill'! If you want to say who is thick-skinned, I think it is also the king of Jin! How many times has he come, knowing that I don't want to see him, I still want to come! Is there anyone in this world who is thicker than him?"
Speaking of this, Li Ci, the king of Jin, visited the door countless times, and was rejected by Murong Yan countless times, but Murong Yan at this moment suddenly thought of another young man in her heart for no reason. How much she hoped in her heart that the man who was left behind could also learn from this King of Jin, and when she had time, she would go to the Wu Courtyard of Tianbao Pavilion to meet her and talk to her, even if it was just to tell him what he saw and heard as an errand in Tsing Yiwei, it was also the thing she felt the most happy.
However, for some reason, the man who had been standing in her mind was lonely and arrogant, but he rarely came to Tianbao Pavilion. I remember the last time I saw him, it was a month ago. That time, he came to Tianbao Pavilion to ask for his help, or to rescue Brother Li in prison...... Since Brother Li was rescued, time has passed, and another month has passed, what has he been busy with in the past month?
Today, heavy rain fell in Chang'an City, this rain
The water fell endlessly for a morning, and the entire Chang'an City seemed to have been washed anew. At this moment, the heavy rain has stopped, and the trees and flowers in front of the court are even more verdant. If he can come over and accompany him to enjoy the scenery after the rain, and even go to Chang'an City to walk around and visit the West Market, then it should be ...... How nice!
"Ahem! If my disease-free brother can have half of the mind of this King of Jin, Yan'er will be satisfied!" Thinking of the people he didn't want to meet, he came to the door all day long, but the people he thought about all night and night couldn't see each other. Murong Yan couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, and Qi Qiran sighed softly.
Murong Yan was thinking in her heart, Brother Wuxi, what are you busy with right now......? Have you ever thought about Yan'er in your heart? Why didn't you come to me? Do you know me, I dreamed of you again last night, I dreamed that I was tightly entangled by the old banyan tree, and you walked under the tree, but you ignored me and shouted for help, and left me far away, how could you be so ruthless to me in your dreams?......
Murong Huan saw that his third sister was still laughing just now, and he coldly saw her sad face again. The change in the mind of this girl's family is really like the weather in March, which changes when it is said. He heard the third sister say Xu Wuxi's name, and guessed in his heart that the third sister must be worried about Xu Ke's safety, so he said casually:
"The third sister probably doesn't know yet, right? Your disease-free brother was sent to prison by the emperor's decree yesterday!"
"What!" When Murong Yan heard this, she couldn't help but stand up and said anxiously: "There is such a thing! Why didn't the second brother say it earlier? Why was the diseaseless brother sent to the edict by the saint......? How is he now?"
"Third sister, don't worry!" Murong Huan waved his hand, asked his sister to sit down, and said: "Your disease-free brother privately let the Qin prisoner Li Junxian privately, this is a serious crime to kill the head! This matter was reported, and the emperor was furious, so he imprisoned him in Tsing Yiwei! However, the third sister can rest assured, I heard that the King of Wei entered the palace late at night to plead with the emperor last night, and your disease-free brother was released from the edict early this morning. Right now, he should stay in the house......"
"Second brother, I want to go...... See my brother who is not sick!" Murong Yan still said eagerly. She walked back and forth in front of her own courtyard, and it was clear that she was still at ease.
"Well, it's okay!" Murong Huan nodded and said, "If the third sister really wants to go, the second brother will accompany you on a trip! His Xu Wuxi's mansion is in Liquanfang, not far from our Tianbao Pavilion...... It's just that the third sister has to think about it! Your disease-free brother doesn't come to look for you, but you take the initiative to go to him. If this matter spreads, everyone will say that the eldest lady of our Tianbao Pavilion has taken a fancy to a poor boy from Jiangnan......"
Murong Yan heard the voice of her second brother's words, and couldn't help but worry again: "Second brother, you mean that the disease-free brother has angered the saint this time. Although he was acquitted, the Holy Lord still demoted him to his official position?"
Murong Huan said: "The emperor issued an order today, and he has been demoted to a commoner, and the Kunwu sword given by the emperor has also been taken back by the emperor. Since then, he has no official status, and he has just become a flat-headed commoner. ”
"Then I'm going to go even more!Second brother, let's go!" Murong Yan said hurriedly. She didn't care about changing her clothes at this time, and eagerly took her second brother's hand, and was about to go out immediately.
Murong Huan looked at his third sister's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Third sister!
"Second brother, let's go quickly! I am cheeky to take the initiative to find him now, this is not 'iron work'? If you want to talk about my kung fu, it is also taught by the second brother......
"What's my business?"
......
......
And almost at the same time, in the Xu Mansion in Liquanfang, Hu Yiyi finally woke up from a dream. Although she had only slept for less than half an hour, she only felt that she had an incomparably long dream. That dream was too long, as if she had gone through a lifetime in the dream, and even longer than a lifetime......
At this moment, Hu Yiyi touched her forehead and slowly walked to the outer hall of the Hazel Residence. Outside, the heavy rain has stopped, and the air is filled with a fresh and pure atmosphere. Still, she felt a little groggy in her head, as if she hadn't woken up. She was still immersed in the sweet dream she had just had. She kept asking herself in her heart: "Is the big dream just now, really a dream? Is the self in front of you the real self?"
Even the great demon who has been cultivating for more than 1,200 years, after having such a long dream, has to question the world in front of him whether the dream is true or not.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Yao Zibei, who was cleaning up in front of the hall, saw that after Hu Yiyi woke up, her steps were vain, and her face was also tired, she couldn't help but feel deeply puzzled, so she stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay, Belle!" Hu Yiyi waved her hand to Yao Zibei, sat on a wooden chair in front of the hall, and sighed again: "Ahem! That dream has been done for too long......! I'm tired!"
"Belle?" Yao Zibei couldn't help but wonder. She brewed a cup of jasmine tea for Hu Yiyi and handed it to Hu Yiyi. She thought to herself, "What's wrong with my sister today?" After a dream, she even changed her name to me. Didn't you call me "sister" or "sister becky" or "sister zibei" before? Why did you suddenly call me "Belle"?
"What kind of dream is it, it makes my sister so tired in her dreams?!Isn't it, my sister met Xu ...... in a dream?" Yao Zibei again
Asked with a smile. When she said a "Brother Xu", she was embarrassed to say more.
"Yes, I dreamed of your brother Xu!" Hu Yiyi picked up the cup of flower tea with the fragrance of jasmine, took a big sip, and then gradually came out of the dream. She looked out the window at the beautiful scenery in her small courtyard. The plum, cherry, and peach trees that she cultivated by her own hands became more and more green and moist after being washed and moistened by the rain. There are a few branches that have quietly bloomed new shoots...... In the spring of this year, unconsciously, with a good rain, it has come to the world!
The scenery outside the window is so beautiful! The life in my dream is so wonderful! If I can really live with Xiao Wuzhi on Bibo Island for the rest of my life, how desirable it would be!
Hu Yiyi recalled her long and wonderful dream, and couldn't help but smile and joke to Yao Zibei: "I also dreamed that your brother Xu married you in a dream." You also gave birth to three children for him, what are you called 'Sanhu, Wuhu, Liuhu'! Your brother Xu is very kind to you in his dreams! One by one, he calls you 'Belle, Belle', tsk! I really envy others!"
"Sister!" Yao Zibei's cheeks turned red when he heard this, and he whispered.
"How could my sister have such a strange dream? No...... Let Zibei think about it! My sister said that the three children I gave birth to in my dream were called 'Sanhu, Wuhu, and Liuhu', so there must be 'Dahu and Erhu'...... Why do they all have the word 'Hu'? Haha! That must be my sister's child! Hmm...... Xu Dahu, Xu Erhu, sister, you have a good name! This dream my sister has is so wonderful, no wonder I am so 'tired'! Sister...... My sister also wants to ask, how did Brother Xu call his sister in his dream?" Yao Zibei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly guessed the key point. She suddenly showed a "cunning" look on her face, and asked Hu Yiyi with a giggle.
Hu Yiyi couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed and said: "He, just call you kiss! Call me, it's just the same as usual, it's the word 'Sister Hu'!"
"Liar! Brother Xu will never call you like this in his dreams! Sister doesn't tell the truth!" Yao Zibei pouted and said.
"My sister didn't lie to you, as soon as Xiao Wuxian saw me in a dream, she just called me like this. At that time, I was so upset that I almost beat him up?" said Hu Yiyi. As soon as she remembered that in her dream, Xu Ke had called her "Little Kiss", "Hu Niangzi" and "Yiyi...... With several affectionate titles, I couldn't help but blush. In any case, she can't say the word "little kiss".
"Sister, what did you dream of in such an interesting way? Do you say that in addition to 'Dahu', 'Erhu', 'Sanhu', 'Wuhu', 'Liuhu', ...... 'Sihu', 'Qihu', and 'Bahu'? Who gave birth to those children? Good sister, can you tell me about it?" Yao Zibei ran to Hu Yiyi's side, shaking Hu Yiyi's shoulders and pouting.
"Good sister, that dream of my sister is really too long, if you really want to say it, you can't finish it for three days and three nights!" Hu Yiyi said with a smile on her face. Seeing that Yao Zibei was so interested today, she even begged her for a rare "coquettish", and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. Speaking of which, since Yao Zibei went through the case of "Zhao Xiaogang killed Wang Xiping", although he was rescued from being beheaded by the executioner, after coming to Xu's mansion, he has always been depressed and unhappy, and his heart has a thousand knots. Today, Yao Zibei may have heard that Xu Ke was determined to join everyone and live in seclusion on Bibo Island from now on, without asking about the temple. Zibei was happy in his heart, and he also forgot the previous knot for the time being......
"Good sister, just say it, say it! Anyway, Brother Xu hasn't come yet, let's wait horizontally and vertically, so my sister will say slowly......" Yao Zibei not only shook Hu Yiyi's shoulder, but also stretched his palm into Hu Yiyi's armpit to tickle. Hu Yiyi suddenly smiled and begged for mercy:
"Good sister! I said, I said, please don't tickle me, sister, I'm most afraid of tickling people!"
Hu Yiyi then smiled and said: "In my sister's dream, my sister is the best for your brother Xu! Every day, my sister takes care of him, washes and cooks for him, brings tea and water, is gentle and considerate to him in every way, and also has a 'official' and 'Xu Lang' or something, sigh hey......!
"Sister, sister is canceling me again!" The more Yao Zibei listened, the more blushing his cheeks became. She was really very happy with such a dream in her heart, but after all, it was a girl's temperament, at this time she couldn't help but feel shy in her heart, so she pounced on Hu Yiyi's body again, held her palms, and "stretched out her poisonous hand" to Hu Yiyi's armpits and waist eyes from time to time to scratch everywhere, only teasing a thousand-year-old demon to lean forward and back, laughing uncontrollably......
"Good sister, stop tickling me! I really can't bear it, sister...... Hahahaha!"
"No! sister can't just talk about Xiaobei, first talk about what my sister is doing in her dreams!"
"Okay, good!
......
At this time, at the beginning of the day after the rain, a gentle ray of sunlight shone through the clouds and shone on the earth. The streets and alleys of Chang'an City, with endless vehicles and full of life, seem to be more lively than before the rain. A rainbow appeared in the sky, scattering colorful and dazzling lights. The brilliant rainbow rippled slightly among the clouds, like a graceful fairy, standing in the clouds and smiling. Perhaps, the fairy who came fluttering was just amused by the two girls from the Hazel Ling House in Xufu and couldn't help but laugh?
