Chapter 244: Torrential Rain
readx;
The sky was clear and cloudless, but suddenly a colorful cloud flew in. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is said that the light flows and the fire shines in all directions, scorching the endless land of China.
Xu Xian opened his eyes to look at the sky, a majestic square city on a thousand miles of fertile soil, leaping over the tall city wall, only to see each square and each city, buildings and buildings, row upon row, thousands of houses like Go books, twelve streets such as planting vegetables.
On the chess-like streets, people are like shuttles, rubbing shoulders and sweating like rain. In the shade of the green willows, the cicadas chirp disturbed, as if they didn't know the heat.
Colorful clouds flew low, speeding over groups of people and buildings.
When the clouds crossed a color building, a red jade hand poked out of the clouds, lightly flicked a long string of wind chimes under the eaves, and issued a series of pleasant light chimes of "Ding Ding Bell", which startled the young lady in the boudoir, moved outside the building, looked at the railing, and only saw the wind chimes rippling lightly.
"Strange, there's no wind?"
Before she could finish speaking, a cool wind swept through the hall, raising her gauze skirt, and the sound of the wind chimes became more and more rapid, and there was a string of chuckles that were more pleasant than the wind chimes.
The wind did not stop, but blew stronger and stronger, and in an instant it brought up a cloudless sky to cover the sky, and the torrential rain poured down.
The crowd scattered and fled in all directions, some rushing home to collect their clothes, others hiding under the eaves on both sides of the street, waiting for the storm to pass.
Everyone was a little embarrassed, but there was a hint of happiness on their faces.
Caiyun had already passed through countless streets and came to the door of a tall mansion, where a pair of stone lions were mighty.
Xu Xian took Yun Yan and stepped into the mansion gate, and the torrential rain poured down behind him.
The gatekeeper hurriedly greeted him, "Master Xu, you have returned to Beijing!"
Xu Xian smiled, "Yes, Mingyu can be in the mansion?" Seeing the gatehouse again, the lanterns were colorful, and when he calculated in his heart, he said that Princess Roujia had already married into the Pan family!
"My son-in-law is still in Hanlin Courtyard, catching up with this shower, the housekeeper is about to send someone to pick it up!"
In the Hanlin Courtyard, under the window of Xiaoxuan, a few days ago, Pan Yusu held a pen in his hand, dipped it lightly in the purple inkstone, lifted his sleeves with one hand, and slowly sketched on the rice paper. Although the face has not yet been painted, it has seen the heroic appearance.
Then the rain fell, and the clouds covered it, and the house became dark.
She stopped her pen and raised her hand to push the window open, and a cool breeze mixed with rain blew in, facing a pool of duckweed, and the rain and wind blew like a break.
She looked at it, and suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and added a few strokes to the paper.
"What a Danqing beauty!" Cheng Zangjian stepped forward, his eyes swept over Pan Yu's face and fell on the painting, and he admired the characters in the painting.
Looking at the painting again, the fluttering clothes have become skirts and sachets, the wonderful eyes are horizontal, the lips are a little, and the fruit has become a beauty like a flower.
Pan Yu drew a few more strokes on the paper, the beauty was already completed, and he didn't see Fang Cai's situation again, and smiled at Chengzangjian and said, "Then give it to Brother Cheng!"
Cheng Zangjian took the painting and said with a smile: "Thank you very much." ”
I saw her wearing a crown of jade and purple gold inlaid with her hair, her face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, her color was like a flower of spring dawn, her temples were like a knife, and her eyebrows were like ink paintings, just like the characters in the painting. Moreover, she has these words to cultivate the true qi, and her bearing is more and more clear and chic, it is difficult to find such a romantic person in the world, and Chengzang Sword also feels ashamed.
Pan Yu said: "The hour is almost up, let's go back!"
Cheng Zangjian also smiled and said yes, walked through the winding corridor together, and talked and laughed with each other as if they were friends.
Chengzang Sword always felt a faint sense of alienation in Pan Yu's body, hidden behind every smile and every action. This is what only a thoughtful person like him can perceive, but if you think about it carefully, they are both from families, so how can they have any real friends to speak of, and who will not be wary of whom?
"Maybe that's the norm!" he thought, sighing in his heart as he looked out at the rain curtain on the porch.
The rain was a little lighter, but it was still dripping.
Carriages were parked in front of the Hanlin Temple, each welcoming their master home.
Pan Yu looked left and right, but he didn't see his own carriage coming to pick him up, and he felt slightly strange, Steward Wu shouldn't be so inappropriate!
Chengzang Ken said: "Why don't I send you home!"
"No need. Pan Yu suddenly smiled, his eyes looked at the other end of the long street, and his black and white eyes revealed an unconcealable surprise.
At that moment, the brilliant appearance was like a firework blooming, which made Chengzang Jian look stunned, even if he had known her for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a trace of amazement, and that smile was definitely different from when facing himself. Following her gaze, a figure came through the rain curtain with an umbrella, it was Xu Xian with a bright smile on his face, and that smile seemed to be a ray of sunshine in the clouds.
"Brother Xu, you're back, I've heard a lot of rumors about you and that Mrs. Xu in the capital!" Cheng Zangjian took the lead in arching his hand and said with a smile on his face. Looking Xu Xian up and down, he seemed to have become a little different.
Xu Xian also bowed his hand and exchanged pleasantries with the Tibetan sword. Pan Yu has always been quite good at talking, but he was silent, standing aside with his hands behind his back, looking at Xu Xian with his eyes, but the smile on his face never broke.
Most of the surrounding Hanlin people snorted coldly when they saw Xu Xian, and they didn't come up to say hello, and hurriedly boarded the car and left.
Where did Xu Xian have the heart to care about what others thought, he dealt with Chengzang Sword indiscriminately, and said to Pan Yu, who had been reunited after a long absence: "Mingyu, let's go back!"
Pan Yu stepped under the umbrella, looked back at Chengzang Jian and said: "Tibetan Sword, please help me ask for half a leave in front of the university scholar in the afternoon, and we will leave first!"
Chengzang Jian naturally agreed with a smile, and then saw the two of them leave with an umbrella, Pan Yu's figure was originally tall, but he looked petite next to Xu Xian. The figure was one high and one low, looking from behind, it looked a little like a couple, gradually disappearing into the misty rain.
"Childe, Childe!" the coachman called twice, interrupting Cheng Zangjian's thoughts, boarded the carriage, and rode away.
Pan Yu had already put away the joy on her face, and said to Xu Xian very politely: "Brother Xu, didn't you say that you only went back to live for a while, why did you come back so late?" was much more polite than speaking to Cheng Zangjian, no, even in the face of strangers, she would be more friendly.
Xu Xian touched his nose, when did I change back to "Brother Xu", what a long time ago! But he seemed to have promised her to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but this time he left Beijing, first went to Zhongnan Mountain, and spent a lot of time in Hangzhou, and wasted a lot of time at sea, and the time spent far exceeded his original expectations.
Xu Xian was about to speak, but Pan Yu raised his hand and said, "Needless to say, you should hurry to the palace now!"
"You don't have to be in such a hurry to deliver medicine to the palace, are you really angry? Is it because I didn't make it to your wedding?"
"Princess Roujia is sick!"
"Sick?" Xu Xian was slightly surprised, after some conditioning from him, even if Princess Roujia's body was not called healthy, she would not be as sick as before, but her physique was still weaker than ordinary people, so it was not surprising that she was sick.
Xu Xian frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be a serious illness!" I don't think this matter is serious, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and if she feels unwell, she will be treated by the imperial doctor in the palace, and she will not hesitate to use precious medicinal materials. But where did she think that she had this disease in that way?
Pan Yu said: "This is still yesterday, there is only some news from the palace, and I don't know much." But if it weren't for an emergency, the queen would definitely not postpone the marriage, so you might as well go to the palace to have a look!"
Xu Xian listened to Pan Yu's analysis, and only then did he feel the seriousness of the matter, "Then I'll go into the palace to take a look!"
Pan Yu took the umbrella in his hand, "Go and come back quickly!"
"Hmm" Xu Xian responded, suddenly lowered his head and kissed Pan Yu lightly on the face, and quickly stepped on the clouds and left.
Pan Yu put the umbrella on his shoulder, looked up at the hazy sky, the rain gradually thinned, and it was cool and cool on his face, only the place where he kissed was slightly hot, and the jade white face, a little redness slowly faded. He exhaled lightly, looked down at his face in the puddle, suddenly raised his foot and stepped on it, and walked quickly towards his home.
Xu Xian came to the top of the palace, hesitated, if he flew directly into the palace, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain when he saw others, so he fell down the cloud and came to the palace gate, took out the gold medal and lit it up, and the road was unimpeded.
In Yong'an Palace, the queen mother hugged Princess Roujia and fed her medicine spoonful.
In the past few days, the queen mother did not leave the bed for a moment, but Princess Roujia was sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, her condition did not improve at all, and her face became more and more pale, just leaning on her mother's arms, her little face showed a very peaceful and satisfied look, as if as long as she closed her eyes next time, she could leave safely like this.
The queen mother has always disliked her weakness, but at this time, with such a weak woman in her arms, the iron-hearted heart that has been tempered by thousands of hammers seems to be broken, and she only hates that she has not been able to treat her better all these years.
A tear fell on her cheek, making Princess Roujia open her eyes again, see the tears on the queen's face, and whispered, "I'm sorry!"
The queen mother seemed to feel something, and after this apology, was it Yongjue?hugging her harder, "It's the queen mother who should say I'm sorry!" If I could have hugged you earlier, you wouldn't have caught a cold and suffered for so many years.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace, and the queen mother turned back in anger, but heard that the palace maid came to report, "Xu Tanhua is here!"
"Let him in!"
Xu Xian strode in, smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, and first bowed to the queen's mother: "Xu Xian meets the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old!"
"Don't say more, get up and heal the princess!"
Xu Xian approached Princess Roujia's bed, opened the tent outside and looked inside, and couldn't help but be surprised. Princess Roujia's little face was pale, her breath was dying, and it was clear that she had reached the moment of life and death. He never expected that he would be so sick! No matter how polite he was, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her slender wrist.
