  Chapter 629 Heavy Rain

  After coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Zhu Pingan went to the outer courtyard to see Liu Mu and the others. When they arrived at the outer courtyard, the stewards of the mansion had settled them down.

  When Zhu Ping'an entered the door, Liu Dadao and the others were trying on new clothes with joy on their faces.

At this time, Liu Dadao and the others all changed into the navy blue guarding outfits of the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion, and their hairstyles were also tidied up. It is true that people rely on clothes and saddles, and the six of them looked tall in this outfit. He is more heroic. They are all hunters on the mountain, and they were born in hunting and martial arts, and the outfits of guarding the courtyard are just right for them.

"Take a look, this material must be made of Songjiang cotton cloth. I saw the local rich man in the town show off before, saying that this cloth is more than twice as expensive as ordinary cotton cloth." The six people were very satisfied with this outfit, especially It was Liu Dadao in front of a basin of clear water, grinning and taking pictures endlessly, just like a brat who wears new clothes for the New Year and can't wait to show off endlessly.

   "Look at your lack of potential. Li Guanshi just said that you have two sets of spring and autumn single clothes, and winter jackets." Liu Dachui and others laughed around Liu Dadao with grinning mouths.

  After Zhu Ping'an walked into the yard, except for Liu Mu who discovered it immediately, the other five people didn't notice it.

   "Be serious, the young master is here." Liu Mu got up to remind Liu Dadao and the others.

   "Ah...Hi, my lord." Only then did Liu Dadao and the others notice Zhu Pingan, who was smiling slightly beside him, and immediately patted the back of his head in embarrassment.

   Seeing that Liu Mu and the others had settled down, Zhu Pingan felt relieved, and stayed in the front yard for a while before returning to the backyard.

  The day of May, the face of the child changes as soon as it is said.

When Zhu Pingan just returned to the backyard, the sun was still shining brightly. After taking a bath and changing clothes, the outside was already covered with dark clouds, and the dark clouds rolled in. The thick clouds were like thick smoke from a fire, and the clouds almost hung down to the treetops. superior.

  By the time Zhu Pingan had laid out the pens, ink, paper and inkstones, raindrops the size of peas began to fall outside.

   tick tick tick

   Bean-sized raindrops slammed on the windowsill.

   "It's raining, it's raining."

  The two little girls outside yelled and chirped like sparrows, nervously putting away the washed clothes.

   This scene reminded Zhu Ping'an of Tang Monk in Journey to the West. He couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, got up and closed the window to prevent the rice paper from being wet by the rain.

   Not long after, it turned into a downpour outside the window.

It’s been a long time since I saw this kind of heavy rain. In my impression, the last time I saw this kind of downpour was on the way to Nanjing, oh, that is, on the way to the Yingtianfu Township Examination in Daming. The downpour made me see the landscape of dragons spitting water on the city wall of Yingtian .

Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.

   Now is the time for wheat to fill grain. With the heavy rain, farmers in the suburbs of Beijing should have a much better harvest this year than in previous years.

  Zhu Ping'an withdrew his thoughts, lit the oil lamp, took a brush from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and began to write freely on the rice paper.

There was heavy rain in the capital, and the Hejian Mansion, which also belongs to Northern Zhili, was even heavier than the rain in the capital. The heavy rain poured down, as if the Milky Way had burst, and it didn't take long for the road to be half a finger deep. rainwater.

  In Cangzhou, Hejian Prefecture, the torrential rain was the most violent.

  Cangzhou belongs to Hejian Prefecture, borders Bohai Sea in the east, Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the whole territory. Half a day's journey north of Cangzhou is Tianjin Prefecture, and another three hours' journey north of Tianjin Prefecture is the capital city.

  At this time, the rainwater on the official road from Cangzhou to Beijing and Tianjin has accumulated more than half a finger deep, and some road sections are even half a foot deep.

  This kind of heavy rain has happened once in ten years for this section of the official road.

  It was raining heavily on the official road, and the rain had accumulated so much that the road could no longer be seen. The road surface was like a straight river. The rain slanted, blurring the vision, and it was almost impossible to see the road ahead.

  Pedestrians who were originally on the road had already gone to the surrounding villages and towns to take shelter from the rain.

   "Drive Drive Drive"

  A few hoarse sounds of royal horses came, followed by the sound of horseshoes treading water, and four horses galloped across the official road, splashing a series of water.

Through the rain curtain, you can vaguely see four heavily armed and sharply armored sergeants on horseback holding on to the reins, crawling on horseback to drive the horse. The purpose of crawling on horseback is to reduce the resistance of wind and rain, save horsepower, and improve Horse speed.

  Not long after the four heavily armed soldiers galloped past, they heard the sound of more moving chariots and horses coming from behind the official road.

Six soldiers in full armor and more than a dozen uniformed guards scattered in an orderly manner, protecting the seven or eight carriages with the triangular red flag with the word "Li" in the middle of the official road, especially the one in the middle. The carriage pulled by three horses of the same color is protected by four heavily armed cavalry.

  The soldiers and guards on horseback are all wearing straw rain capes, and the handlebars driving the cart are also wearing straw rain capes.

  The carriage is covered with several layers of felt cloth coated with tung oil, which effectively prevents the rain from soaking the interior of the carriage.

   "Miss, it's raining so hard outside that I can't see the way."

  The window of the three carriages in the middle was slightly opened, and the bun-faced little maid in the carriage couldn't help puffing up her bun-face in worry as she watched the torrential rain outside the window. Seeing that we are about to arrive in the capital, why is it raining so heavily all of a sudden, but please don't interfere with your journey, my uncle's birthday is coming.

  Already a baby-fat face, now it looks more rounded.

The carriage is very comfortably furnished, like a rich lady's boudoir, complete with coffee table, dressing table, soft bed, etc., sitting on the soft couch is a fair-skinned and beautiful girl, holding a volume of "Book of Songs", enchanting Leaning lazily on the soft pillow, he watched with relish watching the fire in the car.

   "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. God loves it, so let him do it."

  The stunning girl glanced out of the window upon hearing the words, and there was no slightest ripple in her pitch-black eyes.

  The wind and rain do not move, which is in stark contrast to the little girl with a bun face.

   "But." The bun-faced little maid looked out of the window worriedly, "Miss, what if the heavy rain hinders the journey."

"Won't."

  The stunning girl's jet-black eyes shone with a gleam of light, she slightly parted her vermilion lips, and said two words without a doubt.

   "Ah? Really?" The little maid with a bun face was overjoyed, and her big round eyes looked at her young lady with sparkling eyes.

   "Are you questioning me?"

  The stunning girl turned a page of "The Book of Songs", slightly raised her small cherry mouth, and did not leave her eyes from the page, but glanced at her from the corner of her eye.

  The bun-faced little maid immediately shook her head like a rattle.

   "Miss Qi, I have something to report in my humble position."

   At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the window, and then a team in full armor rode the horse to the window of the carriage, and bowed their hands respectfully.
