The heavy rain didn't stop for nearly an hour, and leaks continued to appear in Rose Garden.
There was moisture in the corners of several main rooms; the residences of Sujin and others were okay, except for the water droplets falling continuously in the open space, but if you put a wooden bucket underneath to catch it, nothing would be in the way. The area most affected by rain leaks is in the west wing. One of those two rooms is the kitchen, and the other is dedicated to storing sundries. These two rooms are the most leaky. Raindrops were falling on the stove, and even the lid of the pot could not be opened. Many sundries or dry goods would have been wet by now if they had not been restrained carefully.
The wet nurse was very worried, "Why is this house so bad?"
"It's not that the house is bad, it's because it's been unoccupied for a long time and the servants who repaired it didn't care enough."
The wet nurse sighed after hearing this and said something incomprehensible, "I believe what you said now."
"What words?"
"The old lady of the Hou Mansion is a kind-hearted person."
If the housekeeper's old lady hadn't been so kind, how could she have allowed the servants to do things so half-heartedly?
Sang Nuanyue: "..."
Fortunately, although the heavy rain fell hard and dense, the rain finally gradually lightened up afterwards. The sky also lit up completely, which made everyone feel relieved.
After a while, the rain finally stopped.
The nanny couldn't sit still anymore, said a few more words to Sang Nianyue, and was about to leave.
Sang Nuanyue couldn't help but say, "You can stay here for one night. It's wet and the road is slippery. If you fall again, Qing'er and I will feel so sad."
"No, Que'er and Xiaoyan are the only ones left in the rented yard. If I don't go back, they will be too scared to sleep tonight."
All said and done, the wet nurse has to leave. Seeing that she really couldn't persuade her, Qing'er could only say pitifully, "Then I'll take you out?"
The nanny was reluctant at first, but finally agreed, "Just send it to the back door, no further."
Qing'er nodded happily and looked at her sister pleadingly.
What can Sang Nianyue say?
I can only smile indulgently and say, "Sister, I'm going with you. Chunyu and the others have to repair the kitchen, and I don't know when dinner will be ready today. We'll go there to see you off together, just to kill time."
The last two sentences were said to the nanny. The nanny could not refuse her girl at all, so she could only walk out with her heart full of sorrow, holding hands with the two of them.
It was battered by heavy rains, and there was stagnant rainwater all along the way. The flowers and trees were blown off, the petals fell into mud, and the ground was covered with broken branches and leaves. Even the lotus pond was not spared.
It was just this rain that made the fish sit happy, and frogs croaked one after another.
When the nanny heard this voice, she couldn't help but think, "I'm afraid the girl won't be able to sleep well again at night."
After the master and his wife left, the girl often woke up in the middle of the night. As the girl grew older, the situation improved. But just now Su Jin secretly told her that after that night, the girl had trouble sleeping again. Even though they lived in the tightly guarded Wu'an Hou Mansion, she still heard movements in the girl's room from time to time at night.
Perhaps because she didn't want them to worry, the girl never lit a lamp at night.
But when Su Jin got up early and went to serve, he could always see that the girl's books had been touched, the teacup had been moved, and the tea in the teapot was empty...
And that night when Mrs. Wang Xu was determined to bury the girl alive, there was heavy rain in the sky, which was so similar to the scene this afternoon.
However, there was a lotus pond near the Rose Garden, with frogs croaking in her ears. It was so difficult for the girl to fall asleep at night, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The rain stopped, and the maids and servants came out to clean up.
Along the way, everyone they saw was in a hurry. Although there were some who were curious and turned back to look at them after walking over, most of them scrawled a greeting and then hurriedly continued to tidy up the ground and flower branches that were messed up by the heavy rain.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at the back door. The little maid who had led the nanny to Rose Garden was not there now. The doorkeeper now was a broad-shouldered woman with a round waist. She looked a bit mean and mean, but she was very polite and considerate when she spoke. This made Sang Nuoyue A serious sense of disobedience arose in my heart.
Is this the legendary saying "You can't judge a person by his appearance?"
Sang Nuanyue and Qing'er said goodbye to the wet nurse at the back door.
After the nanny turned and left, Qing'er looked at the pedestrians coming and going around with longing and longing eyes.
Sang Yue pulled her brother's hand, "Let's go back."
She also didn't expect that the back door of Wu'anhou Mansion would open on such a wide street. If it is a sunny day, it must be very lively here at this time. It was inconvenient for her and her brother to get in and out, but if they came to the back door for a walk, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
"Let's go. After a while, my sister will take you out for a walk."
"Really, sister?"
"Really. My sister never lies."
Qing'er finally laughed happily, and Sang Nianyue smiled sweetly when she saw this.
When she was about to enter the back door, Sang Nuanyue suddenly caught a glimpse of the doorkeeper looking furtively diagonally ahead - she had just glanced at it and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a tavern there.
While thinking this, Sang Nuanyue couldn't help but look back.
Amidst the clouds in the sky, a solemn and cold face appeared in the second floor window. His slender white fingers rubbed the wine cup in his palm, he raised his head carelessly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and in the blink of an eye, he drank the wine in one gulp.
His movements were casual and carefree, with an indescribable laziness and ease, but he seemed to notice someone peeping and suddenly turned his head to look over.
- Shen Tingjun, Marquis of Wu'an.
Case solved!
No wonder the woman with sharp eyebrows spoke politely and thoughtfully. It turned out that all the reasons were just because the biggest master of the Hou Mansion was having a banquet not far away.
Ignoring her heart that was beating too fast, Sang Nuanyue pursed her lips and pulled her brother quickly into the back door.
The sight behind her disappeared, but the look in her eyes was still like a gleam on her back, and it still made her feel uncomfortable.
Qing'er didn't notice anything strange about his sister. He was still lamenting that God changed his attitude so quickly. "It's obviously September, but God's attitude changes as quickly as June. It rained heavily just now, and now the clouds are out tonight. Sister, look at how beautiful the clouds are in the west."
Sang Nuanyue said "hmm" absentmindedly, and Qing'er said slowly, "Unfortunately, I was only worried about the leakage of the house before, so I didn't appreciate the rain scene. I missed the beautiful scenery, and now I am a little nervous to appreciate the sunset. Feeling down."
Sang Nuanyue finally came to her senses and said with a smile, "Everyone in the world says, 'The sunny scene is not as good as the rainy scene, the rainy scene is not as good as the foggy scene, the foggy scene is not as good as the moonscape, and the moonscape is not as good as the snowy scene.' You missed the rainy scene, then wait. It’s snowing, sister, can you please go enjoy the snow?”
"Appreciating the snow? Where are you going? Is it at the Marquis Mansion?"
"Go to Pudu Temple. I heard that there are plum blossoms on most of the mountain. The plum blossoms are in full bloom when the snow falls, and the scenery must be very beautiful. My sister will take you to see it then."
"Is it convenient for us to go out? Can we stay at Pudu Temple for two days?"
"It's convenient. Maybe we have moved out from the Hou Mansion by then. Qing'er wants to live in the mountains for a few days, so we can stay there for a few days. At the worst, my sister can donate more money for sesame oil."
Sang Nianyue was joking, but Qing'er took it seriously. He cheered and jumped high, like a bird at ease, fanning his arms and wishing he could fly to the sky.
As the saying goes, extreme happiness can easily lead to sadness. When Qing'er landed, he stepped on a slippery green brick. Qing'er stumbled, and Sang Nuanyue hurriedly helped him, but she underestimated the force of her brother's fall, and he was staggered by the drag, and he rushed forward——
If he fell, he would at least get a bruise and a swollen face.
At the critical moment, she screamed, and at this moment, her arm was suddenly pulled by someone. When she rushed back, she plunged into the man's strong chest.
