From the old lady’s courtyard, Zhu Pingan went to the outer courtyard to see Liu Mu and the others, when he arrived at the outer courtyard, the steward of the mansion had already settled them down, saying that they were the guards of the mansion, but in fact, they were acting as Zhu Pingan’s long followers.
When Zhu Pingan entered, Liu Dazhu and the others were trying on new clothes with a happy face.
At this time, Liu Dazhu they all changed into Linhuai Houfu navy blue guards line, hair and so on are also cleaned up neatly, really people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, six changed into this line, but also look taller and more heroic. They are all hunters on the mountain, hunting and martial arts origin, the line of guards is suitable for them.
“You guys touch and see, this material has to be of Songjiang cotton cloth, I’ve seen the town’s landlord showing off before, saying that this cloth is more than twice as expensive as normal cotton cloth.”The six people are satisfied with this outfit, especially Liu Dazhou in front of a basin of water, grinning and taking pictures all the time, just like a bear child who wears new clothes and can’t wait to show them off all the time.
“Look at your uninteresting energy, just now Steward Li said that there are two sets of spring and autumn clothes each, and there are also cotton jackets in winter.”Liu Dahammer and the others grinned and laughed around Liu Dagger.
After Zhu Pingan walked into the courtyard, other than Liu Mu who noticed it first, the other five did not notice it.
“Be serious, the Gongzi is here.”Liu Mu got up and reminded Liu Dagger of them.
“Ah…… good day, Gongzi.”Only then did Liu Dazhou and the others realise the faintly smiling Zhu Pingan on the side, and immediately rubbed the back of their heads in some embarrassment.
Seeing that Liu Mu and the others were all settled, Zhu Pingan was relieved, and after staying in the front yard for a while he went back to the back yard.
The day of May, the face of a child, changes at the drop of a hat.
Zhu Pingan just returned to the backyard when the sun is still bright, such as bath changed clothes, outside is already dark clouds, dark clouds rolled, thick clouds such as fire like smoke, clouds are almost low hanging to the treetops.
By the time Zhu Pingan laid out his pen, ink and paper, the bean-sized raindrops outside began to fall.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The bean-sized raindrops clattered onto the windowsill.
“It’s raining, it’s raining.”
The two little girls outside shouted and chirped like sparrows, nervously putting away their washed clothes.
This scene made Zhu Pingan think of the Tang Monk in the Journey to the West, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, getting up and closing the window to avoid the rain from wetting the rice paper.
It didn’t take long for it to turn into a downpour outside the window.
This kind of heavy rain has not seen for a long time, I remember the last time I saw this kind of heavy rain or on the way to Nanjing, oh that is, the Ming Yingtian Province on the way to the countryside examination, that time the heavy rain also let himself see Yingtian city wall dragons spit out the water landscape.
Good rain knows the season, when spring is happening.
Now is the time of wheat grouting, this heavy rain down, this year’s harvest of farmers in the suburbs of Beijing should be much better than in previous years.
Zhu Pingan retrieved his thoughts, lit up the oil lamp, took a brush from the brush holder and dipped it in ink, and stroked it on the rice paper.
The capital is pouring down rain, the same belongs to the northern province of HeMaFu than the capital of the rain is also big, heavy rain splashing and whistling down, like the river breaks like, did not use a long time on the road on the accumulation of half a finger depth of rainwater.
In Cangzhou, the province of Hemang, the rainstorm was the most violent.
Cangzhou is a part of Hetian Province, with the Bohai Sea to the east, Beijing and Tianjin to the north, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal running through its entire territory. Cangzhou is half a day’s journey north of Tianjin, and Tianjin is three hours further north of the capital.
At this time, Cangzhou to Beijing and Tianjin on the official road rain has accumulated more than half a finger deep, individual sections even have half a foot deep.
This kind of heavy rainfall was already a once-in-a-decade occurrence for this section of the official road.
Heavy rain on the official road, rainwater accumulation have been unable to see the road, the road surface as a straight river, rainwater tilt, blurred vision, almost have been unable to see the road ahead.
The pedestrians who originally rushed on the road have long gone to the surrounding villages and towns to take shelter from the rain, looking miserably at the pouring rain curtain, unable to give birth to half a bit of rushing mind.
“Driving driving driving ……”
A few hoarse imperial horse sounds came, a string of horse hooves stepping on water followed, four steeds galloped past on the official road, splashing a string of water splashes.
Through the curtain of rain, four heavily armed and armoured soldiers on the horse’s back could be seen blurrily holding the reins, creeping on the horse’s back to imperialize the horse, creeping on the horse’s back was to reduce the resistance of the wind and rain, saving the horse’s power and increasing the horse’s speed.
Soon after the four heavily armed soldiers galloped past, they heard the sound of a much louder movement of carriages and horses coming from behind the official road.
Six soldiers who were also heavily armed, and more than ten uniformed guards, scattered in an orderly manner before and after, protecting the seven or eight carriages in the middle of the official road with the triangular red flag of the word “Li”, especially in the middle of the carriages pulled by three horses with the same colour of the same coat, which were even more importantly protected by four heavily armed cavalrymen.
Horseback riding soldiers and guards are draped in straw raincoat, driving the car handle is also the same draped in straw raincoat.
The carriage was covered with several layers of felt cloth coated with tung oil, effectively preventing the rain from soaking the interior.
“Miss, it’s raining heavily outside, I can’t even see the road ……”
The most middle three horse carriage window slightly opened a gap, inside the carriage bun face little maid looked at the torrential rain outside the window could not help but worry about the bulging bun face. Looking at the capital is about to arrive, how suddenly it rained so much, but do not affect the rush, the aunt’s birthday is about to arrive it.
The face with baby fat, this time show more round.
The carriage is very comfortable, like a thousand gold noble girl’s boudoir, coffee table, dressing table, soft collapse and so on, soft couch sitting on a white beautiful girl, holding a volume of “Poetry”, enchanting lazy leaning against the soft pillow, on the car’s fire looked at with great interest.
“The sky wants rain, the mother wants to marry. The heavens love to rain, so let it be.”
The stunning young girl swept a glance out the window at her words, her dark as ink eyes did not have half a ripple in them.
The wind and rain did not move, a stark contrast to the bun-faced little maid.
“But ……”The bun-faced little maid worriedly looked out of the window, still worried, “Miss, if this heavy rain affects the rush what can be done.”
“Will not.”
The stunning young girl’s dark as ink eyes flashed a bright light, slightly opening her vermilion lips, undoubtedly said two words.
“Ah? Really?”The bun-faced little maid was overjoyed, her big round eyes shining brightly as she looked at her own young lady.
“Are you questioning me?”
The stunning young lady flipped a page of the Poetry Scriptures and slightly hooked her cherry mouth, her gaze didn’t leave the pages of the book, but only swept her with her afterglow.
The bun-faced little maid’s small head immediately shook like a rattle.
“Enlighten Miss, humble servant has something to report.”
Right at this moment, a sound of horse hooves sounded outside the window, followed by a fully armoured team official imperial horse arriving outside the carriage window, respectfully arching his hand and reporting.
