The rain in October is cold and chilly, drifting in the wind, as if it can never be stopped.
A beggar-like man was shivering with cold in front of the tavern. He huddled under the eaves to avoid the rain, with a letter in his arms.
He had been running around for ten whole days to deliver the message to General Yan, but when he arrived at the general's mansion he found out that the general had gone out with his wife to watch a play.
He just wanted to hand the letter in his arms to General Yan as soon as possible, then find a place to take a shower and stay for the night before returning to Liuzhou.
He is really dirty!
The tavern waiter stood at the door, watching him eagerly, fearing that he would take another step forward and scare away the customers in the store.
As he thought about it, his eyes drifted into the rain curtain. Under the pink eaves and green tiles, General Yan walked on the water like a tiger and a dragon. His eyes were deep, his back was straight, and he didn't feel cold in his single coat.
"Are you looking for me?" Yan Gui asked in a deep voice, looking at the man in front of him with a dirty face.
The beggar-like man trembled and took out a letter from his arms: "General, I am here to deliver a letter to you on the orders of my master."
Ding Er, who was behind Yan Gui, took a step forward and prepared to take the letter, but the man drew his hand back and dodged, "The master has ordered that the letter must be delivered to General Yan in person."
Yan Gui did not look at the letter, but looked at the man: "Who is your master?"
"Xie Dalang." Seeing Yan Gui's expression change slightly, the man added, "It's Boss He from the Eagle Caravan."
Yan Gui reached out and slowly took the letter from his hand, then said to Ding Er behind him, "Give him some money and let this brother have a good rest. I will ask him if I have anything else later."
"yes."
Ding Er took the order and led the man to the clothing store nearby. He decided to take him to buy some clothes first. Looking at his shabby appearance, it was really disgusting.
The rain outside the window fell slowly, hitting the porch in front of the eaves and gathering into thin streams of water.
Xiao Cao pushed the door open and brought a bowl of soup from outside: "Madam, this is the soup the general just ordered for you at the tavern across the street. Drink it while it's hot."
Wei Yang withdrew her gaze from the stage, glanced at the bowl of steaming soup, and then returned her gaze to the stage again, saying only one sentence: "Leave it there."
She has become addicted to watching plays these days and goes to the theater with her maids and nannies every day.
Yan Gui was also very patient and stayed with her all the time without getting annoyed.
Wei Yang suddenly turned around and asked in surprise: "When did the general go out?"
Yan Gui went out and saw that she was engrossed in watching the show, so he did not disturb her. When Wei Yang found out that Yan Gui had gone out, she suddenly lost interest in watching the show.
The audience was still singing in a humming voice, and the opera, which had always sounded pleasant to the ears, suddenly became jarring.
Yan Gui shook off the water droplets on his body and walked into the box. He saw Wei Yang drinking soup listlessly with a white porcelain spoon. She looked bored and was drinking the soup absent-mindedly.
"Why don't you watch the show?"
Yan Gui sat down beside her, took the spoon from her hand and tasted it. It tasted good. How come the girl who was so energetic when he left just now suddenly looked listless
"I don't want to watch it anymore, let's go home."
Wei Yang watched Yan Gui finish his soup, then stood up and waited for Yan Gui to go out together.
Yan Gui didn’t like watching shows in the first place, so he was more than happy to see her leaving. He stood up, put his arms around her slender waist and walked out.
"Why don't you want to watch it?"
Wei Yang pursed her lips, looked at Yan Gui, then looked at the maids and nannies who were two or three steps behind, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Yan Gui's ear and whispered, "I don't want to watch it if you're not here."
