Chapter 134 Continuous heavy rain
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, the sky was like a leak, with heavy rain. From morning to night, it rained ten hours a day. On the tenth day of the lunar month, Yan Hu went to Anguo Duke's Mansion in the wind and rain. Seeing that her skirt was wet by the rain, Han said angrily: "You kid, you are so honest. Why are you still coming here if it rains so heavily?"
"The wind and rain are not blocked." Yan Huo smiled.
"Auntie knows you are good, but you are sick from the rain. Your aunt will feel distressed. Come over when it clears up." Han asked the maid to take out a brand new dress, "Hurry up and change the wet dress."
Yan Huo asked in surprise: "Did your aunt make me new clothes?"
"I'm idle and have done something, but I didn't tailor it for you. I don't know if it's appropriate?" Han sent Yan Hu to change his clothes, and asked the kitchen to make ginger soup quickly.
After a while, Yan Huo changed into new clothes and came out, "Auntie, it fits very well. Auntie has a good vision."
"That's it." Han happily accepted the praise. If she had a bad attitude, how could she choose such a good husband-in-law for herself? How could she choose such a good wife for her son?
"Aunt, let's play chess." Since Yan Huo knew that Han's chess skills were good, he began to play chess with her to pass the time.
"Okay, my aunt will let you three sons today." Han said with a smile.
At first, Han asked five people to play for so long and three people, which showed that Yan Hu's chess skills had improved to a certain extent. The maid set up a chess table, and the two sat opposite each other to play chess. After a while, the maid brought ginger soup and Yan Huo drank a bowl while it was hot.
After lunch at the Princess's Mansion, Yan Huo took a cart of gifts from Princess Chengyang to her home while the rain stopped.
Tang Wei was having a meal in a restaurant and met a Taoist priest of Xuanqingguan who claimed to be Chongxu. The Taoist priest chanted with stools and ladders, "The ladder is the most difficult to get on, there is no hope for fish in a spider web, it is difficult to sow the millstone, and it is difficult to get a foot."
"Go and go, what are you talking nonsense, roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll roll impatiently.
"The world laughs at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others for not seeing through it; fire bursts into the nine heavens of Venus, and water falls into the zimuth in May." Chongxu laughed loudly on his back.
Tang Jian thought, "Master Taoist, please come here and talk."
After the master spoke, the entourage stopped driving the people. Chongxu sat down next to Tang Jian, "Criminal, how are you doing well?"
Tang Wei was stunned, "Have I met Taoist priest before?"
"I have seen it, but I have never seen it." Chong Xu said in a nagging manner.
Tang Wei didn't understand, "How can I explain this?"
"Criminal, don't worry about this." Chong Xu smiled.
"Please give me advice," Tang Yang said politely.
"I dare not give advice, the prince, when spring comes, the flowers are in time. If you get someone to use the power, you will be lucky." Chongxu said seriously.
"I wonder who I should borrow from?" Tang asked.
"Criminal, it is not appropriate to talk about it in detail here." Chong Xu said with a smile.
Tang Hui laughed, "Master, would you like to follow me to the royal palace to discuss in detail?"
"There is the ultimate pleasure." Chongxu Weide was to be a counselor around Tang Jian.
Tang Xu brought Chong Xu into the Chu Palace. The two of them talked about in the study, but they had no idea. But the next day, Yan Hu received a cart of gifts from Tang Wu.
"I gave it to me?" Yan Huo frowned, "I will not receive any reward without merit. I cannot accept this gift, so I will send it back to the Chu Palace."
Tang Wei was not angry when he saw the returned gift. As he expected, the gap between the King of Chu's Mansion and the Yan Mansion was too deep, so Yan Hu naturally stayed away from him. The Grand Tutor Yan and the Old Lady Yan were old and stubborn, but Yan Hu, who was not well-informed, would definitely make her fall towards him as long as he spent more effort.
As long as Yan Huo didn't marry, Grand Tutor Yan and Old Lady Yan had to accept it obediently. When Tang Wei thought of this, he smiled proudly and ordered his subordinates: "Put everything into the warehouse."
Tang Wei gave gifts to Yan Hu. What was the idea of making a move? Grand Tutor Yan and Mrs. Yan knew it well. Grand Tutor Yan told Mrs. Yan, "Arrang more people around Xiaoxiao to avoid any wrong ideas."
"I've been on guard against that boy, so I didn't let him enter the inner house this year." Mrs. Yan refused to let Tang Hui enter the inner house, but in fact she didn't want Yu Fangfei to contact him. Unexpectedly, the person Tang Hui targeted was Yan Hu.
"He dares not do anything in the mansion. I am worried that Xiaoxiao will go out and do something. Xiaoxiao is a girl and her reputation is important." Taifu Yan said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Yan hurriedly said, "I will tell Xiaoxiao."
Yu Fangfei was very upset when she learned that Tang Wei had given a car of gifts to Yan Huo. She forced herself to show her feelings during the day and cried for a long time at night. The next day, her skin was swollen with puffy eyes. When the old lady Yan saw it, she asked with concern: "Fang Fei, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I didn't feel uncomfortable, I just read books late and didn't sleep well." Yu Fangfei didn't dare to tell the truth.
"No matter how good the book is, you can't read it too late, as it will ruin your body." Mrs. Yan waved to her and let her go, "I won't be like this in the future."
"I know, grandmother." Yu Fangfei smiled.
"Let's take a day off today and don't go to school." Mrs. Yan smiled. The girl doesn't have to take the imperial examinations, and it's no big deal if she doesn't go to school for a day or two.
Yu Fangfei was in a bad mood and was so happy. After breakfast, she went back to the yard to take a rest.
At noon, the rain stopped for a while and the sky brightened.

At the beginning of the day, heavy rain poured down, and the low-lying part of the yard was filled with rain. Yan Hae, who was bored, threw a few small fish in the small depressed pit, and took a fishing rod to play with it. He caught it, threw it back into the puddle and fished again, and asked the maid to count it aside.
"Miss, you have caught six fish." The ear grass said happily.
Yan Huo said proudly: "I am a fishing expert."
The masters and servants were having fun when the earcake suddenly said, "I seem to hear someone knocking on the door."
Licorice, who was sitting in the corridor, squirted, "I must have heard it wrong. Who would come to visit this heavy rainy day?"
"No, I heard it too, someone knocked on the door." Xingren put the embroidery shed in his hand, "I'll open the door and see who it is?" He didn't cat in the room on a rainy day and ran out, and he was really ill.
After a while, Xingren brought Yu Fangfei's master and servant in, "Miss, Miss Cousin is here."
Yan Huo really didn't expect that the person who came over in such heavy rain was Yu Fangfei. "Is there anything wrong with my cousin coming?"
"I'm fine, come here to chat with the twelve sisters." Yu Fangfei smiled.
Yan Hu didn't believe a word about this. After being together for so many years, the relationship between the two has not been close at all. Now, he suddenly came to chat with her. Yan Hu believed that she would not go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. The man had arrived, and Yan Hu couldn't drive him out, so he led Yu Fangfei into the east room, "Cousin, please sit down."
Yu Fangfei sat down on the chair beside the kang, Yan Huo sat on the kang, and licorice brought the tea in for a while. Yan Huo didn't say anything when he drank tea. Since Yu Fangfei came to chat with her, of course, this topic must be found by Yu Fangfei.
"It's raining, I can't even dry my clothes after washing them." Yu Fangfei complained.
"Let the maid burn the cage and dry the clothes." Yan Huo smiled.
"It rained so hard that the crops in the fields could not be harvested, and it would be troublesome if they rot in the fields." Yu Fangfei sighed.
"It's not time to harvest yet." Yan Huo vaguely remembered that the autumn harvest was around the autumnal equinox. This year's autumnal equinox should be mid-to-late August, and now it's mid-July. There is still one month left. This rain cannot be the next month.
Yu Fangfei, a daughter-in-law who was raised in the deep boudoir, knew nothing about farming and could not respond at all. Ruthus she brought a cup of tea and then said, "Twelve sisters, why don't you accept the gift from the prince of Chu?"
Yan Hu's eyes flashed slightly. This should be the purpose of Yu Fangfei coming? He smiled slightly and asked back, "Why should I accept it?"
Yu Fangfei smiled and said, "That's what the prince of Chu wants."
"Cousin Yu, I have no grudges and no grudges with you. Are you trying to ruin my reputation?" Yan Huo asked coldly. Fu Zhixing never made any big fuss about giving gifts to her. Tang Wu gave gifts so loudly, wasn't he just trying to poke her on her, indicating that she was the person he liked, so no one else could make any decisions.
Yu Fangfei was shocked, "I don't."
"Then why did Cousin Yu come to tell the prince of Chu and ask me to accept his gift? Did Cousin Yu learn the etiquette rules in vain? Is there any defense between men and women?" Yan Huo stared at her with a sharp look.
Yu Fangfei turned the fan in her hand and said, "Twelve Sister, you misunderstood. I didn't tell you about the prince of Chu. I was afraid that the Twelve Sister would return the gift and offend others. I came to persuade her after a moment of inadequate thoughts. It was not to ruin the reputation of Twelve Sister. I had a good intention. If Twelve Sister doesn't want to listen, I won't say it."
"Cousin Yu is not thinking well, but thinking too much. OK, I know Cousin Yu's kindness. It's nothing to do. Please come back." Yan Huo was too lazy to socialize with her, so he directly issued an order to expel the guest.
Yu Fangfei achieved her goal and knew that Yan Hu really had no idea about Tang Wei and that the gift was not a tactic of hard to get, so she felt relieved and left quickly.
Two days later, the concubine Zhou of the Zhao Mansion had an accident. She gave birth to a miscarriage and gave birth to a bloody baby boy. King Zhao looked at the flesh and blood, his face was as dark as the sky outside, "I took it to bury it."
In the inner room, Concubine Zhou was still crying loudly. The child was raised successfully, and she was the eldest son of King Zhao, or at least the prince. But now... the child is gone, and her hope is gone.
King Zhao walked in and looked at the woman on the bed with a pale face and almost fainted from crying. The feeling of pity was useless. He asked coldly: "It's rainy day, why don't you stay in the mansion with a big belly? Why are you running around everywhere?" That day he promised Yu Zhilin that he would deal with the Zhou family, but he didn't plan to touch Concubine Zhou, after all, she was still his child.
"I want to go to Xishi'an to burn incense." Concubine Zhou was worried that she was pregnant and went to Xishi'an nearby, but unexpectedly something happened. "Prince, you must severely punish the person who killed our children."
King Zhao looked at her, "Are you sure you want to be severely punished?"
"Confirm, we must punish severely." Zhou Fangxian said hatefully. Her carriage was knocked over and she fainted, not knowing who the perpetrator was.
"Okay, then I will punish you severely." King Zhao smiled strangely and went out.
Zhou Fangfu also had to be confinement for confinement, and she knew nothing about the outside. King Zhao didn't have to find any other reasons, and directly asked the official officer of the prefect of the capital to arrest people. The person who caused Zhou Fangfu to miscarry was nothing but someone else, but Zhou Fangfu's brother, the person who liked to ride horses on the street, finally got into a big disaster this time.

Zhou's father thought for a while, "Go and find Mei'er."
But when he arrived at the Zhao Prince's Mansion, he could not enter the door. "The concubine Zhou was in confinement and did not see guests."
"We are not guests, we are her parents." Zhou's mother showed her identity.
The gate squinted her, "This is the Zhao Mansion, not a cat or a dog can enter at will."
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother begged for a long time, but the disciple refused to let go. They had to leave and went to the Duke Cheng's mansion. This time, they successfully met Duke Cheng's wife. The Duke Cheng's words made them desperate, "Mei'er is a member of the Zhou family, but she is pregnant with King Zhao's flesh and blood. A good baby boy is gone, and King Zhao will never give up."
"Mei'er is still young, she will definitely be able to give birth to a child for King Zhao." Zhou's mother wiped her tears and said, "My daughter's miscarriage was caused by her son. What kind of evil is this done?"
"It's not about whether you can give birth to a child now. Now it's King Zhao that must investigate this matter." Mrs. Cheng Guogong said in a deep voice.
"Madam, you must save my child. Our seventh room is the only seedling. If he has any problems, what will happen to our seventh room in the future?" Zhou's mother cried so hard that she burst into tears.
Mrs. Cheng Guo’s wife thought for a while, “Okay, I’ll let the Duke go and meet King Zhao.”
"Thank you, Madam, and the place where the Concubine Xian in the palace, please let me go." Zhou's father asked.
Duke Cheng found King Zhao, and Duke Cheng went to find Concubine Zhou Xian. King Zhao said righteously: "According to the law of Dajing, those who want to mount horses and hurt others will be punished for twenty years, and those who rush horses and kill others will be punished forty years. Those who rush horses and kill others will be punished forty years, and those who are unforgivable will be killed."
Concubine Zhou Xian went to the saint and helped to ask for love. The saint said coldly: "This person has no king's laws and his crimes cannot be forgiven. He should be beheaded and showed his warnings to others." Although he did not care about a concubine's grandson, the royal flesh and blood were killed by others. If he was not punished seriously, how could the royal majesty be reflected?
The arrogant and arrogant Zhou family master was sentenced to death. Zhou's father and mother fainted on the spot when they heard the news.
On the afternoon of July 19th, Master Yan and his party arrived near Zhetan Temple. It was right at the right time. The sky was as gloomy as midnight. The heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier. It was difficult to walk on the road. Master Yan and others were discussing whether to find a place to shelter from the rain and wait for dawn before leaving. The person who was exploring the way forward replied: "The heavy rain is continuous, and the official road ahead collapses, and it is not possible to pass for the time being."
Well, why are you leaving? Find a place to stay temporarily!
After some investigation, the guards reported: "There is no village within ten miles, and the nearest ones are Zhetan Temple and Hongluo Temple."
