Pray for rain

The hangover caused Xie Wei to have a terrible headache. In the morning, he pressed his forehead to see Taiwei Xie, but he saw that Taiwei Xie was full of energy and radiant.Seeing Xie Wei frowned tightly, Taiwei Xie said proudly: "Your mother came back last night and prepared me hangover soup, I should have asked her to give you a bowl too."

Mrs. Xie said angrily: "Didn't Aunt bring you back yesterday? Why did Aunt drink too much?"

Yesterday when they went back to their room, it was a quarter past, Captain Xie just managed to stay awake, Mrs. Xie poured down a bowl of hangover soup, he didn't know what night it was, how could he remember Xie Wei.Taiwei Xie hurriedly apologized to his wife. Mrs. Xie didn't calm down for a long time, but she still helped him dress neatly and watched him enter the palace.

Mrs. Xie told Xie Yuan a few words. Originally, Xie Yuan was a little shy and wanted to be with Mrs. Xie all the time.But today the weather was fine, and the cousins ​​asked Xie Yuan to swim in the lake together.Mrs. Xie was going to check the accounts, and it was not easy to take her with her, so she gave Xie Wei a wink.

Xie Wei said softly: "Mother has something to do today, and tomorrow, brother will take you out to play."

Xie Yuan reluctantly agreed, she felt that her cousins ​​were not as cute as those girls in Mobei who laughed at her for not being able to ride a horse, and they would just cover the corners of their mouths with a handkerchief and giggle.

It stands to reason that there is no need to be so anxious when you just arrived in the capital. Mrs. Xie and Xie Wei sat in the carriage and sighed: "I don't know when the Holy Majesty will order your father to return to Yicheng. We should finish what we have to deal with as soon as possible."

Xie Wei nodded, leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Xie Yuan went out with his cousins ​​and took a boat tour of the Bai family.

Although I don't like the cousins ​​who are somewhat unanimously xenophobic, the scenery in front of me is indeed pleasing to the eye.The maid brought her an ice bowl, and the crushed ice was spread on the fruits arranged in the shape of lotus flowers, and it was placed in a blue jade bowl.Xie Yuan took a sip, only to feel the refreshing coolness, and couldn't help but take a few more bites.

Seeing Xie Yuan like this, the cousins ​​on the side laughed secretly: "Look at her...it's like she hasn't eaten any good food..."

"So what if my aunt married a Taiwei, why don't you suffer in Mobei..."

Xie Yuan put down the ice bowl in his hand heavily, and imitated Xie Wei's appearance every time he was angry, his face darkened, and he said to one of the cousins ​​who broke his mouth the most: "If you say another word, I will smash your mouth, you see See who grandma will turn towards?"

Although Xie Yuan is sick and young, he is not a person to be bullied.Since she was a child, Xie Wei taught her that she must not bear being bullied, and that her father and brother would stand up for the sky falling.What's more, Xie's family is a member of Mobei family, so they can't lose face of Xie's family when they are outside.

That cousin was not favored in the first place, and she only relied on stepping down on Xie Yuan to win the favor of her sister-in-law, so she murmured and dared not speak out.

The breeze blew off the dew on the lotus leaves in the lake.Xie Yuan ordered his two maids: "Let's go, let's go outside the cabin to get some air."

Xie Yuan stood at the bow of the boat and saw lotus flowers growing by the lake.The lotus was in full bloom, Xie Yuan breathed in hard, but couldn't smell the fragrance of the flower.The lake is covered with lotus leaves, and Xie Yuan was surprised to see all the fish swimming in groups in one direction.

The maid next to him smiled and said, "Perhaps someone sprinkled fish food in front."

Xie Yuan looked in the direction of the school of fish, and sure enough, he found a small boat hidden by lotus leaves.Among the school of fish running towards the boat, there were several colorful koi carps, which were so beautiful that Xie Yuan was fascinated, so he poked his head out.

Seeing that Xie Yuan was half overboard, the maid nervously supported her: "Miss, this is too dangerous."

Xie Yuan said: "No problem." Still leaning forward to look at those fish schools, this is a fun that Mobei never has.

On the small boat, it was Pei Yu who covered her entire face with lotus leaves and had a good dream.Hearing the sound of water under the boat, he straightened up and looked into the water.Seeing a bunch of fish and shrimp circling his boat, Pei Yu sighed, "What are you doing, leave quickly."

Pei Yu fell into the boat helplessly, covered his face and waited quietly for the fish to disperse, but after a while, the fish and shrimps were still having fun around his boat.

The fish and shrimp were very excited, and they couldn't hear Pei Yu's words.Pei Yu simply abandoned the boat, boarded the restaurant by the lake, served Xiao Er a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks, and then continued to play chess with Duke Zhou.

Xie Yuan saw the school of fish suddenly disperse from the bow, and returned to the cabin with some disappointment.But when the boat docked suddenly, a cousin said: "Ah Yuan is coming to the capital, and he must try the lotus cake from Tianxianglou."

After several sisters entered the Accord of Tianxiang Building, Xie Yuan saw the lotus cakes and tea prepared on the table. The lotus cakes seemed to have thousands of petals, white and pink intertwined, so exquisite that Xie Yuan couldn't bear to speak.

The girls on the side were all talking to each other, which was a bit noisy.Xie Yuan didn't eat the lotus cake, just drank a cup of tea and sneaked out of the Accord.As soon as he entered the corridor, he heard a familiar voice from the Accord next door: "Xiao Er, why is the next door so noisy?"

Xie Yuan couldn't help but get closer, only to see Xiaoer open the door, and apologized: "There are more people next door, so it's naturally a bit noisy, please forgive me."

Pei Yutian's hearing is good, and she was very annoying, but she didn't say anything, and waved Xiao Er to close the door.Xiao Er was about to close the door, but saw a little girl standing beside him, looking at Pei Yu with bright eyes and saying, "So it's you!"

Pei Yu turned around and saw that it was the little girl Mo Bei had rescued, and she never expected to see her thousands of miles away.For thousands of years, Pei Yu has seen countless mortals, and the interesting and boring ones have been forgotten.It's just that this little girl's elder brother is destined to be immortal and has outstanding charm, so he has a good impression of this little girl.

Xie Yuan walked in, bowed deeply to Pei Yu, and said: "My brother said that you have left Mobei, I thought I would never see you again. I was frightened that day, and I never thanked you properly."

Xiaoer saw that the two of them knew each other, so he left.

The little girl was very polite in her words, and Pei Yu said, "Saving people's lives is naturally something that can be done immediately, so don't worry about it." Then he asked her to sit down and drink tea and snacks, and then asked, "What about your brother?" leave you here alone?"

Xie Yuan replied: "My brother has something to do today, and I came to swim in the lake with my cousins."

The dim sum on the table is no worse than the lotus cake just now, small and delicate.Xie Yuan ate one, and found it very sweet, and it was not easy to eat too much. The desire for food in her eyes made Pei Yu laugh: "Eat more."

Xie Yuan picked up another piece of dim sum and asked, "Do you live in Kyoto?"

Pei Xuan smiled and said, "No, I just like to travel around."

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Although it is just a little effort for you, I always want to thank you. If you are free tomorrow, can my brother and I hold a banquet here to thank you?"

After saying this, Xie Yuan felt a little abrupt again, and immediately regretted: "If you have something to do..."

Pei Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

Xie Yuan smiled, but he didn't expect Pei Yu to agree.Pei Yu really didn't want to agree to her at first, but he just remembered that every time he asked Wenchang's important person, either he didn't like it, or Wenchang didn't give it to anyone.Every time he confides his hard work to Wenchang, Wenchang always refuses him with a smile: "Is it not enough for Zhong Shan to have you and Geng Ze?"

The elder brother of the little girl in front of him seems to be a talented person. If he can come to Zhongshan in the future, he and Geng Ze will handle all the affairs. Wouldn't it be... the more I think about it, the happier I am. The little girl added another cup of tea.

After sitting for a while, making an appointment for tomorrow, Xie Yuan left.

Back at the Accord that Bai's family had reserved, none of the cousins ​​seemed to notice that Xie Yuan had disappeared for a while, or maybe they found out but didn't want to care about it.Xie Yuan was happy for tomorrow's agreement, suppressed the joy in his heart and went back to Bai's house.

Xie Wei checked the accounts with Mrs. Xie today, and it can be said that she was extremely exhausted.Mrs. Xie summoned all the dowry shop managers to the jewelry shop to check the accounts one by one.Fortunately, these managers are capable people, and the books are well done.Mrs. Xie saw that there was nothing wrong with the accounts, so she smiled and gave generous rewards to the staff in charge.

It was already evening when we returned to the White Mansion. Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Wei who had been pressing her forehead, and said worriedly: "Just now you were asked to go back first but you didn't want to. Is it serious now?"

Xie Wei smiled and comforted her, "No, it's just a headache, and it will be better tomorrow."

Back in the White Mansion, Xie Yuan had been waiting for them boredly for half a day, and when he saw Xie Wei, he called out loudly: "Brother is back!"

Xie Wei smiled and asked, "Did Yuanyuan have a good time today?"

Xie Yuan pouted to express his displeasure, and said, "Brother, I have something to say to you!"

Mrs. Xie was joking with her: "Is there anything my mother can't listen to?" Taiwei Xie came back from the palace, and Mrs. Xie hurriedly asked people to take off the heavy official uniform on Taiwei Xie.

Xie Wei patted Xie Yuan's head: "Yuan Yuan goes back to the room first, brother and father have something to discuss." Knowing that his brother and father had political matters to discuss, Xie Yuan asked Xie Wei to find her after finishing talking, and then went back to the room.

Seeing Taiwei Xie's tired expression, Xie Wei asked, "Father?"

Taiwei Xie sat at the side, drank a cup of tea, and then sighed: "Ah, this matter is much more difficult than we imagined..."

It turned out that when Taiwei Xie came to court today, there were more than a dozen adults in the Golden Luan Hall who disagreed with the emperor's proposal of the South-to-North Water Diversion, and the leader was the current prime minister, Xie Wei's grandfather.If it's just that, it's fine, I never thought that the princes would also stand in line, the prince died early, and the Holy Majesty has not established a crown prince yet.Some princes wanted to side with Taiwei Xie according to the emperor's will, and some stood with the courtiers for fear of harming their own interests.

The dynasty has been at ease for too long, there is no war, the south of the Yangtze River is full of money, and the capital is like a puddle of muddy water.And this muddy water that has been silent for a long time is about to be disturbed again by Taiwei Xie who comes to Beijing.

Xie Wei asked, "Does father regret coming to Beijing?"

Taiwei Xie patted the table: "What do you mean? Tens of thousands of people in Mobei are waiting for their lives, so why regret it?"

Xie Wei smiled and said: "That's it, no matter what, we'll wait for the Holy Majesty's decision."

Taiwei Xie still sighed, after the court today, the Holy Majesty called him back to the study.The Holy Majesty asked him how sure he was of the South-to-North Water Diversion project if he really wanted to do it.Taiwei Xie's answer was that he didn't know whether it would cost material resources and manpower to achieve the original expectation.Before doing it, no one knows whether it will be possible or not.

"Don't worry, you have been tired after going out with your mother today, go back and rest early." Taiwei Xie sighed.

Before going out, Xie Wei heard Taiwei Xie's solemn voice again: "Ah Wei, you have to be careful in everything in the capital." The royal family and ministers in the capital are much more rampant than what Taiwei Xie thought.

Xie Wei bid farewell to Taiwei Xie, remembered Xie Yuan's words again, and went to Xie Yuan's room.The lights in Xie Yuan's room were still on, apparently waiting for him.Xie Wei pushed open the door and saw Xie Yuan laying on the table, very sleepy, still trying to open his eyes.

"Yuan Yuan?"

Seeing him, Xie Yuan happily said: "Brother, I met the person who rescued me that day in the restaurant by the lake today!"

That strange pair of master and servant did not bring a single piece of luggage in the deserted wilderness.If one of them hadn't saved Xie Yuan, Xie Wei would definitely investigate them.

In the end, Xie Wei heard Xie Yuan say again: "I made an appointment with him, and I will thank him in the restaurant tomorrow."
