At night, Zhou Shuren woke up when he heard the sound of thunder. Just as a bolt of lightning flashed, there was light in the dark room, followed by deafening thunder.
Zhou Shuren sat up and took the coat aside to get down and take a look.
Zhulan was also awakened by the thunder. There was a flash of lightning and a burst of thunder. Zhulan quickly took the clothes. She was thinking about her son.
Zhou Shuren had already put on his shoes, and there was Shen Xing standing guard outside the house. When he opened the door, he saw the dark night sky illuminated by lightning, like a thunder dragon scurrying in the sky.
Shen Xing said with joy on his face, "Sir, it's raining."
Zhou Shuren raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes, this heavy rain will definitely be heavy."
He is not worried about the dams. His several years in Jinzhou were not in vain. However, if the rain is too heavy, he still needs to pay attention to some mountains to avoid casualties caused by landslides.
Zhulan arrived at her son's house. Mrs. Liu kept vigil today and whispered: "The young master slept very soundly."
Zhulan held the candlestick and looked at her son. This boy was sleeping really soundly. He didn't react at all to such a loud thunder. He slept soundly while hugging a pony-like pillow, "Watch more tonight." ”
Mrs. Liu, "Yes."
Zhulan came out of the house, and the rain started to fall heavily. She quickly returned to the house, where Zhou Shuren was sitting and waiting for her.
Zhou Shuren took the handkerchief and handed it to his wife, "How is your son?"
"I'm sleeping like a pig, and I don't want to wake up at all, so don't worry."
Zhou Shuren said, "Hurry up and change your clothes. These clothes are all wet."
"Okay, it's only the fifth day of the night and I can still sleep for a while. You should lie down and rest first!"
Zhou Shuren did not wake up. The weather was sultry the past few days and he didn't sleep well at night. Now it's raining and cool outside, so he can have a good sleep. "Okay."
When I woke up in the morning, it was still raining outside. The sound of the rain was so hypnotic that Zhulan was a little reluctant to get up.
Zhou Shuren got up, and Zhulan lay down for a while before sitting up. They could still hear the maids talking and laughing. They were all happy that it was raining heavily.
When the door is opened, water vapor comes in, and the vegetation in the yard stretches out its leaves.
While combing her mistress's hair, Mrs. Song said, "It's rained enough this time, and the lake in the garden has risen a lot."
Zhulan looked at the rain curtain outside the window, "As long as it rains enough, the people are waiting for this heavy rain!"
"Yeah, this year is still a good year."
Zhulan smiled, "Yeah."
In the capital, the emperor and the prince went to court in the morning. They were holding fans and walking on the road. The emperor said: "The sound of rain is really beautiful."
The prince also breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."
The emperor is in a good mood today. God knows how afraid he is of drought. No, he should be afraid of any disaster. "Let's go, let's go back."
The prince followed in his father's footsteps, and he was in a good mood today.
Jinzhou government office, as soon as Zhou Shuren arrived at the government office, Wang Jue surrounded him. Zhou Shuren's face darkened, "Have you had enough?"
Wang Jue was not dizzy, but his head was a little dizzy.
Wang Ju stopped. Well, his head was a little dazed, but his mind was very clear. "Sir, you are really good at talking. It rains when you say it will rain."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "It means you and I have a good relationship. Otherwise, I really think you want to harm me. Is it okay to say this?"
It’s as if he is a rain god and it rains when he says it will rain.
Wang Ju, "Aren't you and me the only ones in this room?"
Zhou Shuren said, “Heavy heat must bring heavy rain, and there is experience in this.”
Wang Ju knew he had said the wrong thing. Mr. Zhou is such a cautious person. He really would not leave any clues behind. "Indeed, there have been many heavy rains after heavy heat in the past years."
Zhou Shuren was satisfied and said, "Well, the rain won't stop for a while. You just happen to be here. I have arranged something for you."
"Sir, tell me."
Zhou Shuren explained the measures to protect against heavy rain. Roads on the hillside were closed to traffic. Safety should be paid attention to on both sides of the river. People were not allowed to stand under trees. He also sent people to check some old houses to prevent them from collapsing and killing people during heavy rain.
The heavy rain lasted for a day and a night before it slowly began to stop. It seemed that all the rainwater owed before had been made up. Some of it had been made up, but fortunately, there were no casualties.
In the capital, Marquis Yao's Mansion, Yao Yao touched the fiery red wedding dress. She will get married tomorrow. She took her hand away from the wedding dress and looked at the boudoir. She was about to leave this prison. There was no reluctance, only a feeling of relief. Finally able to leave.
Mrs. Bai came in with her mother-in-law, "Yao Yao, what are you looking at?"
Yao Yao turned around and said, "Let me take a look at the house where I live."
Bai took her daughter and said, "You can still see it when you return to your mother's house in the future. Come here quickly. This is the money mother gave you to put at the bottom of the box. You should keep it yourself. Mother knows that you know better than mother, so the other mothers won't say much. Okay, keep it yourself, these will be your support in the future.”
Yao Yao didn't shirk, she opened it and took a look, she saw a box of banknotes, "Thank you, mother."
Bai said, "I was worried that the heavy rain would keep falling and delay tomorrow's auspicious time. Fortunately, the rain stopped."
Yao Yao held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, my daughter is getting married. You should think more about your brother and yourself."
Mrs. Bai was very flustered and held her daughter's hand back. She always felt that her daughter had discovered something. She could discover it because her son was in poor health. After thinking more about herself and her son, she discovered the problem and took action. The daughter's hand said, "When you get married, you must think more about your husband's family. You don't have to worry about your mother's family's affairs. Do you hear me?"
Yao Yao lowered her eyes, "Mom, my daughter understands."
Seeing pinch marks on her daughter's hand, Mrs. Bai quickly let go of her hand and said, "Look at me, my hand is neither light nor heavy."
Yao Yao, "Mom, my daughter doesn't feel hurt."
In the Hanlin Academy, Shi Qing's presence was low, but everyone knew about his marriage and everyone sent congratulations.
Chang Lian also stepped forward, "Congratulations."
Shi Qing is still looking forward to getting married, "Thank you, I will definitely arrive tomorrow."
Chang Lian understood that Shi Qing, who seemed to be saying the same thing to everyone, really hoped that he and Rong Chuan could arrive, "Okay."
Shen Yang didn't come forward. He touched his wallet depressedly. This cost him another sum of money. Since coming to the capital, he has spent a lot of money. He wrote a letter home the day before yesterday. It was time to reply today, but he still hasn't. According to the news, he only has a dozen taels of silver left.
After leaving the Hanlin Academy the next afternoon, Chang Lian and Rong Chuan took a carriage to drive to Shi Mansion. Rong Chuan got out of the carriage and looked at the red ribbon on the door of Shi Mansion with envy in his eyes. There was no trace of his house, let alone Said she was getting married.
Chang Lian followed down, holding the box in his hand. There were not many guests in the Shi Mansion, "It's really deserted."
Rong Chuan, "Well, it's indeed deserted."
Shi Qing stood at the door to greet the guests. When he saw Chang Lian and Rong Chuan, his smiles became much brighter, "You are here, please come in quickly."
Chang Lian and Rong Chuan handed over the gift box, "We carefully selected the gift."
