Chapter 291: Downpour
Chapter 291 ·Turn the pot
Bai Rongxuan looked at the two of them leaving, couldn't help but smile knowingly, lowered her head and started drinking tea in a small mouthful.
Wu Ma said on the side, "They are both here, so the lady might as well go to the old lady's place to sit, so she can talk to her."
"I won't go." Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "Don't look at Brother Hua who smiles all day long. In fact, he is thinner than anyone else. If I were there, he would be embarrassed to ask deeply. This is his lifelong event. He will definitely be very concerned and nervous when he marrys a wife and lives a life. If he doesn't ask, he will be very worried and nervous. If he doesn't ask clearly, he will probably not be able to eat."
When Wu Ma thought about it, she stopped persuading her daughter, but looked at her calm and beautiful side face. Bai Rongxuan put down the teacup and looked up at the dark clouds outside the window. After a while, Wu Ma sighed and said, "This time is too fast, and it's been more than ten years of trance. When Brother Hua also settled on the kiss, it's your turn."
Bai Rongxuan was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Is her?
In her previous life, she died in a foreign land at a young age, as helpless as willow catkins in the wind. After living again in this life, what kind of life will she have?
She slowly lowered her head without opening her mouth.
Wu Ma thought she was shy and continued, "Don't worry, the old lady and Mrs. Huang will definitely find a good marriage for you. I don't know whose young man is so lucky to marry a beautiful wife like you, but I'm afraid he will wake up laughing when he sleeps."
Bai Rongxuan was embarrassed by her and coughed twice awkwardly, "How can I be the first? My brother is older than me, so he will come first to get engaged."
Unexpectedly, when Wu Ma's face changed slightly after hearing this, she lowered her head hesitantly.
Bai Rongxuan immediately realized that his brother was the heir to the third wife of the Bai family. It was impossible for the Tang family to decide his marriage, and it must be the Bai family to preside over it. But now the head of the Bai family is the second wife. Bai Rongxuan had dealt with them a lot in her previous life. When she thought of their face as if she was like a wolf and a tiger, she would worry for her brother.
If my brother's marriage falls into their hands, there will definitely be no good result.
But this matter is very important, and she dare not give any advice, but she secretly made up her mind that she must do her best to protect her brother and not let him suffer any losses.
Wu Ma stayed here and talked for a while, but because she was thinking about Tang in her heart, she stood up and said goodbye. Unexpectedly, it was raining heavily as soon as she left.
Xiaoyuan ran back quickly with oil paper, helped Bai Rongxuan close the window door, and then tidied the bed roll by himself and spread it on Bai Rongxuan's bed. Seeing that her shoes were wet, Bai Rongxuan hurriedly found a handkerchief to help her dry, and asked her to sleep on the bed. Xiaoyuan shook her head and said firmly, "Ms. Xuan is the master, I am a slave, so you can't mess with the rules. Which family has the principle that the slaves run to the lady's bed to sleep all day?"
In the past, she didn't care about these people.
Bai Rongxuan guessed that who should have said something to her, so she deliberately held her cheek and asked, "Who said this to you?"
"It's Sister Chuntao." Xiaoyuan was not very scheming and answered questions and questions. "I think she said very reasonably. If it makes sense, it should be listened to, so I also want to be a little maid who understands the rules."
Bai Rongxuan couldn't help laughing, "But the rain has been heavy recently, the ground is very wet, and the moisture will stick to your body when the quilt is dyed, so you will feel uncomfortable when you sleep."
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyuan was quite determined and shook her head and said, "It's okay, I spread the oil paper below, and the moisture won't come up."
There was a storm outside the window, and the raindrops fell on the ground, accompanied by waves of thunder and sudden lightning, which made people feel panicked. Bai Rongxuan took the opportunity to say, "But I am most afraid of thunder. I feel scared when I hear it. I can't sleep alone in the bed! If you come up and accompany me, I won't be afraid."
When Xiaoyuan heard this, she immediately blinked her eyes seriously and thought for a while, and finally agreed with embarrassment, "Then this time, I still have to sleep on the ground when it doesn't rain." She also deliberately lowered her voice and whispered, "Otherwise, Sister Chuntao should say that I don't understand the rules again."
Every time Bai Rongxuan was with her, she felt very relaxed and she felt surprisingly good. She finally understood why Huang had arranged her to come to relieve her boredom. She nodded as she heard this, "Okay, this is only once, I won't be the case."
Xiaoyuan smiled, ran to the bed with her calf thump, and insisted on sleeping outside, "In this way, if Miss Xuan is thirsty at night, I can get up and pour water for you. I see that Sister Cuiping did this."
Bai Rongxuan touched her head, "Okay, that's it."
The sound of wind and rain became louder, and Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but feel a little worried. There would be nothing wrong with such a strong wind, right? Not long after, a burst of footsteps came from outside. It was Ashun and Yan who were patrolling around in the rain. They also specifically told Bai Rongxuan not to go out. A century-old tree in the yard next door struck the lightning.
Bai Rongxuan agreed and reminded them to be careful.
After Guan Yan and Ashun left, Bai Rongxuan blew out the light and lay on the bed talking with Xiaoyuan. After a while, Xiaoyuan fell asleep. Bai Rongxuan was alone in the dark and listened to the sound of wind and rain outside.
She thought of her brother, her mother, and her father... She didn't know how long it took, but she fell asleep in a drowsy way.
The next morning, it was raining heavily outside. Xiaoyuan rubbed her eyes sleepily and saw that Bai Rongxuan had already sat up. She also jumped to the ground and put on her clothes and wanted to fetch water to wash Bai Rongxuan. Seeing that it was raining heavily outside, Bai Rongxuan said, "You don't have to go out for such a heavy rain, so don't be busy washing up."
"How can that work?" Xiaoyuan was confused and tied the buttons wrongly, but even so, she still put on her clothes, found out the grease paper that had pounced under the bedding yesterday, and prepared to put it on to fetch water. But before she could go out, Wu's mother came over with an umbrella. Not only did she get washing water, she also brought breakfast.
Xiaoyuan hid aside with a blushing face, and she didn't even have the courage to look up.
Wu Ma said to Bai Rongxuan, "The heavy rain this night was so scary. The big banyan tree in the next yard was struck by lightning and collapsed three wing rooms. I heard that there were sleeping servants inside. Early this morning, the master and the young master went to help. The neighbors lived in this neighborhood, so how could they not reach out?"
Bai Rongxuan heard about the fall of the tree last night from Ashun, but she didn't expect that the house would be crushed. She immediately asked worriedly, "How is the servant in the house? No one was killed?"
"That probably isn't, but I heard that two injuries were quite serious." Wu Ma sighed, "Mrs. Huang was afraid of something, so she told everyone in the house not to go out. The lady will play in the house today. It's dark, so don't read books, as her eyes can't stand it."
Bai Rongxuan agreed and asked about her mother's condition again.
Wu Ma said, "This thunder sound is like a war drum. The lady didn't sleep much last night. It was so easy to get a little lighter at dawn that she barely sniffed for a while. Don't worry, wait for breakfast before letting her sleep. I'm there to serve you there, so don't worry, just take care of yourself."
Bai Rongxuan nodded, and then Wu Ma left hurriedly.
Unexpectedly, the heavy rain lasted for three days, almost to the point where it was impossible to leave the house. The water level of the West Lake Lake rose sharply, and there were also sounds of floods around Hangzhou. For a time, many refugees flocked to Hangzhou City, and the market was crowded, and there were rural people selling themselves as slaves everywhere. As the largest chamber of commerce in Hangzhou, the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce began to arrange disaster relief. It was not until this time that it was revealed that the Jiang family had already been deserted and the Jiang family had moved to Shanghai overnight a few days ago. The house at home was sold to a family named Sun at an extremely low price.
When the news reached the Tang family, Tang Songzhou looked puzzled and asked Tang Xuexi, who was bringing the news, "Who did you hear? The Jiang family is a land residence in Hangzhou. Several generations of ancestors lived here. How could they leave just by saying that? It was not a lies made by others, right?"
