Chapter 18 Clouds and Clouds
I was surprised and said, "Yun Qinglin? ”
The coldness on Yun Qinglin's face suddenly halved, and he said to me, "Unfortunately, I'm here to find you." ”
Suddenly, I found the feeling that Leng Yijun was speechless in the windy building that day, looked up at him, and just looked at him.
I looked at him, but I didn't notice that the rain was already falling, and there were no other pedestrians on the street. A gust of wind blew in with the rain, and Yun Qinglin raised his sleeves to help me block out the rain and wind.
"Let's go. He said.
"Where are you going?" suddenly remembered that my current identity was a little awkward.
"Go to Lefu as a guest. This afternoon, the prayer note has been handed over. Yun Qinglin's tone was relaxed, and his eyes were very normal when he looked at me.
"Let's go. "For the first time, I deeply realized what it means to be clear.
Today's rain is not at all as gentle as the rainy season, the rain falls like a pillar, and the sound of rain does not stop. The underground drainage system in Mocheng has been carefully designed, but at this time, a layer of rainwater still accumulates on the ground. The shoes are made of satin wooden soles, stepping on the water, and the lotus flowers embroidered by Magu on the upper seem to really bloom in the water.
Rainwater runs down the umbrella. Yun Qinglin's umbrella is two circles larger than the average umbrella on the market, with two layers of white oiled paper and two green leaf-like silk sandwiched in between. There was a difference in height between the two of us, and even though he was protecting me, our coats were soaked through by the rain.
The rain hits the mist, the sky is gloomy, and it is rare to find the artistic conception of ink painting in the downtown street.
Yun Qinglin doesn't know if he has the same state of mind as me, his pace is not in a hurry, he is at ease.
The distance was only two streets away, and Yun Qinglin led me all the way to the Yuefu Gate that I was most familiar with.
Guan Xingyi was standing under the plaque at the gate of Yuefu with an umbrella waiting. He came to Yuefu again and changed his identity, I don't know if it is "the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", or "the art is high and bold". Perhaps, he can see that our Yuefu is free and easy, and is not limited to small sections, or he understands that Yuefu directed and acted in a very influential tragedy, and it is reasonable that Yuefu will not embarrass the victims.
Le Wenliang once expressed his appreciation for Yun Qinglin in his words, and it turned out that it was true.
"Miss. Guan Xingyi greeted me with a fist, and it was very appropriate.
"Captain Guan, how many days have you gone, how are you doing?" I asked.
"It's been good lately, thank you Miss for your concern. He replied.
The second chief manager Ren Shi held an umbrella, with a look of surprise and delight, and greeted him: "Master Yun, you are here, please quickly." ”
"Manager Ren, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing lately?" Yun Qinglin asked.
Hearing this, I frowned slightly and glanced at him, who looked as usual.
"Everything is fine, thank you Yun Dagongzi for your concern. It's raining heavily outside, and we've arranged accommodation, so please come with me. Ren Shi gave a look to the little guy behind him, and the little guy held an umbrella and walked towards Yun Qinglin.
Yun Qinglin shook his head, still under the same umbrella as me.
There was no expression on my face.
Ren Shi turned to the other servant and asked him to settle the carriage of Yunfu outside the door. After giving the order, he took a step, led the way in front, and walked in the direction of the Yuzhu Pavilion.
When passing by the Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion, Yun Qinglin stopped and said to Ren Shi: "The scenery of the Yuefu has been unique for a long time, the architecture is exquisite, and the people who are fortunate enough to come to your mansion as guests all praise the Yuzhu Pavilion, the Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion and the Qiqiao Linglong Pavilion in the East Garden. This courtyard next to me is overgrown with strange grass, and there is a two-story small building in the treetops, I don't know if it is the rumored Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion?"
"What Master Yun said is right, this is the Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion. Ren Shi sighed at Yun Qinglin's insight, and his eyes showed appreciation.
"I saw that this courtyard was backward, and I couldn't help but stop and admire. Qinglin has a reluctant request, I don't know if I can live here?"
From the moment Yun Qinglin stopped by the Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion, I thought of the two brothers of the Tang family, who lived in the Yuzhu Pavilion a few days ago. Yun Qinglin stopped and chose Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion, could it be because of Tang Lingshu?
Maybe I'm too careful. I glanced at Ren Shi and nodded slightly.
"Since Grand Prince Yun likes Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion, it is the most suitable place to live here. Ren Shi replied with a smile, and instructed the little guy around him, and the little guy got the order, and took the first step from the intersection in front of him to turn into the courtyard of Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion.
"Master Yun, please. "Ren Shi led us to the Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion.
There are many plants and trees in the Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion, and as far as the eye can see, a piece of green, like the emerald clouds; the trees are luxuriant, and there is a banana tree planted in front of the main building in the courtyard, which grows higher than the first floor, and the long leaves are spread, and half of them are placed on the eaves of the front hall. In order to prevent mosquitoes, a batch of mint, mosquito repellent grass and Qili incense purchased from Zizhou a few years ago are also planted in the grass and trees.
Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion is not only one building, its courtyard is only smaller than Yuzhu Pavilion, but the number of rooms that can be accommodated before and after is about the same. Although Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion is called a pavilion, in fact, the main building is just an ordinary two-story house in Mocheng, the stairs are in the middle of the building, all the way to the second floor, is a hall, there are two rooms of the same size on both sides.
The courtyard of the East Garden is usually cleaned regularly by maids and servants, so the rooms in Cuiyun Fuxiang Pavilion can be moved in directly. The maid who came in first mainly arranged for the maid to light the firewood in the kitchen and boil more hot water for the guests.
Walking into the living room, the little guys took the umbrellas, only to find that their coats and shoes were soaked.
The maids waited, and their task was to take the guests to their respective rooms.
Yun Qinglin suddenly said: "I'm still bothering to be the chief manager to help my cousin prepare a room, adjacent to my room." ”
I almost didn't get stuck in my neck in one breath.
Someone coughed, and I looked over and almost laughed, it was a small sesame seed.
"Well, my name is Little Sesame, and I'm here to serve Miss. "Little Sesame is extremely smart, and when she walked into the living room in a few steps, she understood the current situation.
I raised my hand and beckoned her to my side.
Turning to look at Ren Shi, he said, "Manager Ren, I'm in trouble." ”
Ren Shi understood and said, "Master Yun, there are exactly two rooms on the second floor of Fuxiang Pavilion. ”
Yun Qinglin felt that this arrangement was okay, and replied: "Then it's troublesome." ”
"The two of you will rest first, and the hot water will be ready soon. Our lord has prepared a dinner party, and he will come back to disturb it when the time comes. Ren Shi glanced at me as he spoke.
"Thank you Uncle Le for me. Yun Qinglin's tone was modest and polite, and I couldn't help but think back to the first time I met him, he was cold and rude, not at all like today.
When he came back to his senses, Ren Shi had already left, Yun Qinglin took a few steps to the backyard, stopped, and looked back at me.
I looked around and remembered that when I was a teenager, whenever it was hot in the summer and I couldn't sleep, I would sneak away from the secret sentinel and come here alone. I don't light the lamp, I just rely on the moonlight, sit on the steps in the courtyard or in front of the window on the second floor, empty myself, and think about what happened when I was a child.
Looking up again, I smiled at Shangyun Qinglin's gaze and followed his footsteps.
Yun Qinglin stood there and looked at me, and when I got closer, he continued to walk forward, leaving a watermark on the ground one by one.
Pushing open the door to the room on the second floor, I took off my coat and threw it into a wooden basin on a shelf beside me. Along the way, the posture and pace are relatively convergent, and you need to move your muscles and bones.
Little Sesame closed the door and leaned on the door again to listen to the movement for a while. She came to my side silently and asked me in a very small voice, "Miss, what's the situation? The one on the other side of the door is your uncle?"
I wanted to roll her eyes for the third time, but I thought about it for a while, and it was indeed Yun Qinglin who she said, so I nodded affirmatively.
Then, it was Xiao Sesame who took a deep breath and said curtly: "Miss, you are finished, my uncle is eighty percent interested in you and ready to rely on you." ”
I took a deep breath this time.
"What should I do now? The eldest son of the Tang family, who just left in the morning, looks like a talent, his personality and temperament are very similar to his master, and he can take care of his younger brother so well, I think he is very good to be our uncle. Now there is a real aunt again, and he is so good-looking, although his face is a little stinky and cold, but this kind of person is infatuated, well, I can see it. Little Sesame said to me for a while, and then she was talking to herself.
I looked at her and looked down at my clothes, which were still a little wet, even though they were undershirts.
Xiao Sesame finally reacted, patted her head, and said, "Miss, look, I forgot, Magu has already prepared hot water, let me call you back." Who would have thought of such a situation. What now?"
"Isn't the Yuzhu Pavilion already ready for hot water?" I thought and asked.
"It should be, originally the master arranged for Yun Dagongzi to also Yuzhu Pavilion, after all, the courtyard there is the largest and most elegant. Little Sesame replied.
"Then it doesn't matter, the second manager will send someone to bring the hot water. I said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were footsteps at the door, followed by a knock on the door.
Little Sesame opened the door, and a maid said to her, "The hot water is ready, do you want to bring it to the young lady now?"
"Give us more misses. Little Sesame whispered to her.
Hot water was quickly sent, both mine and Yun Qinglin's. The rooms in Yuefu are well soundproofed, and it is completely easy to enjoy personal space.
After taking a bath, Xiao Sesame also took some of my clothes and supplies from Huaxiyuan.
Change into clean clothes and dry your hair.
Open the window facing the backyard and a cool breeze blows in. The rain is still falling and shows no signs of stopping. When I opened the window facing the front yard, I saw the banana tree, and the leaves of the plantain tree were particularly green in the heavy rain.
Little Sesame went out and called the little maid to move the hot water and bathtub away.
After the room was cleaned up, Little Sesame carried the teapot downstairs and went to the kitchen to get hot water to make tea.
The door wasn't closed, and I walked over with my hair loose and saw that the door to the opposite room was also open.
The devil sent the gods, and I walked over.
Yun Qinglin's room was quiet, and the windows on both sides were half-open. The hot water and tub had just been transported, and there was still a fresh smell in the air.
There was a sound of paper turning pages, and I looked at the window in the front yard.
On one side of the window is a desk, and on the other side near me is a carved screen. I walked over and saw Yun Qinglin sitting behind the desk, flipping through a book. Judging by his reaction, he didn't mean to look up at me.
It's good, I just like the feeling of being able to be freewheeling.
Sitting down next to Yun Qinglin, I looked around, I hadn't been here for a long time, but the furniture and furnishings had not changed, and the colors of the mattress, quilt and curtains had changed, but the color was still the same. Directly opposite the corner of the wall is a flower pot shelf carved from tree roots, on which there is a mosquito repellent plant, which has a lemon scent, which can both repel mosquitoes and make people feel refreshed.
I got up and stood in front of the window. The window is ajar, but you can still see the banana tree. I realized that every time I came here, it seemed like I was reminiscing about when I was a child: when I was a teenager, I was reminiscing about my childhood, and now I am reminiscing about my youth. Hu Yixiao is still not wrong, I am no longer a teenager, and in more than half a year, I will be an eighteen-year-old adult.
Just thinking about it, I heard Yun Qinglin get up and walk behind me. Suddenly, my hair was gently lifted, and Yun Qinglin seemed to take a hairpin and pull up the top half of my hair to make a bun.
It was eerily quiet, and I could clearly hear the sound of rain falling on the leaves of the plantain trees.
I stretched out my left hand and touched the bun and hairpin at the back of my head. The bun is a simple flower, and the hairpin is a simple wood carving.
There was a knock on the door.
I turned around to look, Xiao Sesame was carrying the teapot, looked at me with a smile, and asked me, "Miss, shall I make you tea?"
I blinked.
Little Sesame walked in.
I suddenly remembered the faint fragrance of tea, took a step forward, leaned in front of Yun Qinglin, and took a breath to smell.
There is no taste except for the fragrance.
