Pray for rain

After hearing this, Xie Wei said helplessly, "You know the family's name and what they do, are you a good person? I think it's because your parents are too lenient in their demands on you."

In the past in Mobei, Xie Yuan was weak, so Mrs. Xie only asked Xie Yuan to be happy every day.Now I didn't expect that Xie Yuan would dare to make an appointment to hold a banquet in a restaurant with someone who had only met twice. Besides, why did the person whom he met in Mobei before suddenly appear in Jiangnan thousands of miles away?Apart from being suspicious, Xie Wei couldn't help being a little angry.

Seeing Xie Wei's serious face, Xie Yuan grabbed his sleeve and shook it, and said coquettishly, "How could I be so bold? What I told that person was to have a banquet with my brother to thank him."

This is better, Xie Wei sighed, and said: "Yuan Yuan, there are many people in Beijing who are hostile to father's coming to Beijing. We have to be careful, and Yuan Yuan can't be as capricious as he was in Mobei."

Xie Yuan felt a little guilty when he heard the accusation, and his eyes turned red: "I just think that brother is so good-looking, he must not be a bad person..."

Xie Wei smiled and said, "Who taught you this theory? Don't judge people by their appearances. There are many good-looking people in this world who are bad people, but they just disguised themselves well."

"Then shall we go to Tianxiang Tower tomorrow?"

Seeing Xie Yuan's timid look, Xie Wei sighed: "Why don't you go, we should have thanked the person who saved you. My brother is not saying that it is wrong for you to want to thank others, but the premise is that your elders must I know. Yuanyuan knows that he wants to call his brother, which is very good."

Xie Yuan nodded to show that he understood, and Xie Wei said, "Go and rest."

After closing the door for Xie Yuan, Xie Wei returned to his room, feeling his whole body relax.What Taiwei Xie said just now when he left was full of deep meaning, but he was afraid that he would over-interpret it. Could it be that the ministers in the capital are so bold?

In his sleep, Xie Wei still frowned.

On the second day, after seeing off Taiwei Xie who was about to go to court, Mrs. Xie went to accompany Mrs. Bai.In the afternoon, Xie Wei took Xie Yuan out and went straight to Tianxiang Tower.Xie Wei ordered someone to set up a banquet in the Accord, waiting for Pei Zhen's arrival.

It rained suddenly in the afternoon, and Pei Yu came late in the rain, and said apologetically to the Xie brothers and sisters: "Sorry, I'm late."

It was an emergency that day, Xie Wei didn't look at Pei Zhen carefully, but now that he looked at it, it's no wonder that Xie Yuan said that good-looking people are not bad people.The man in front of him looks like a crown jade, eyes like bright stars, as if he has the posture of a heavenly man.For some reason, there seems to be a kind of light on him, which makes people feel good about him.

Xie Wei asked, "I don't know what your name is?"

The person in front of him smiled and said, "Pei Yu."

Xie Wei poured a cup of tea for Pei Xuan, and said, "Thank you, I left in a hurry that day, and I feel very guilty for not thanking you for saving my sister. It's rare to get together today, please..."

Ever since hearing the word Xie Wei, and seeing the gentle eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him, Pei Yu's heart began to itch, he interrupted Xie Wei: "But the water at three o'clock?"

Although Xie Wei was puzzled, he still nodded.

Pei Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Xie, you don't need to be so polite, if anyone who has the ability to save Lingmei that day, they will help."

While he said that he didn't need to thank him, what he was thinking in his heart was that he wished that Xie Wei could pester him to repay him.Wei, Xiaoyu also.He likes Xiaoyu in the south of the Yangtze River the most. Isn't this fate?Xie Wei is destined to be Zhong Shan's person.

Hearing Pei Yu's repeated refusals, Xie Wei was convinced that this guy really had no bad intentions.He couldn't help smiling slightly, and said: "Since that's the case, let my sister replace the wine with tea, and give you a toast."

Xie Yuan smiled and respected Pei Zhen with a cup of tea, and his wish was fulfilled just now.

The tea and food at Tianxianglou were all delicious, but Pei Yu didn't touch a few chopsticks, but drank a lot of tea.Xie Wei was about to ask him if the food was unpalatable, but he saw Pei Xuan looking out the window and said, "The rain has stopped."

He looks like he really likes the rainy day, and his eyes are all sparkling.Xie Wei thought to himself that Pei Yu was taller than him, but in fact he should be smaller than him. When he saw something he liked, he had exactly the same expression as Xie Yuan.

Only then did Xie Wei let go of his guard, and said, "I heard from my sister that you are here to visit the capital?"

Pei Yu replied: "Yes, I heard that the scenery in Kyoto is beautiful, so I came to see it."

Xie Yuan swallowed the snack in his mouth, and said: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is really interesting. When I was swimming in the lake yesterday, I saw many fish swimming towards a small boat. It was colorful and very beautiful."

Wiping the dim sum on her face with a handkerchief, Xie Wei smiled and said, "Probably there are delicious dim sum on board." Hearing Xie Wei teasing her, Xie Yuan pouted.And Pei Yu, who was compared to Dim Sum, also couldn't laugh or cry.

After the banquet was over, the three of them relaxed by the lake.Xie Yuan broke a willow branch in front of her to tease the koi in the lake, while Xie Wei and Pei Yu laughed watching from behind her.

Xie Wei suddenly heard Pei Xuan ask: "Brother Xie is the son of Taiwei Xie of Yicheng?"

Now that the situation is special, Xie Wei really didn't want to have doubts anymore, and replied, "Exactly."

As if unintentionally, Pei Yan asked again: "What do you think, brother Xie, about the drought in Yicheng?"

Feeling Pei Yu's probing intention, Xie Wei's heartstrings tightened again, and he said with a smile: "The current emperor is sympathetic to the people's sentiments, and has decided to implement the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which will surely solve the urgent needs of many towns in Mobei."

Pei Yu didn't care about the south-to-north water diversion. What he wanted to ask was not this. He shook his head and said, "Brother Xie, if you are the rain god, how should these drought-affected towns rain?"

Xie Wei laughed. I thought he was... Mobei Rain Temples abound. Every day there are fresh offerings and people who go to worship and pray for rain. Unfortunately, none of them are effective.

He didn't understand why Pei Yu looked very stable, so how could he ask such a question that only a child would ask, so he said, "Unfortunately, I'm not the God of Rain."

Seeing Pei Xuan's focused and rigorous eyes on him, Xie Wei seemed to be bewitched, and after serious thinking, he replied: "The long drought in Mobei is due to the terrain and climate, which cannot be changed. It is a fact that the people are living in dire straits due to drought. But if there is heavy rain every day, wouldn’t there be floods like those in the south of the Yangtze River? We don’t have to suffer from scarcity but inequality. We don’t need too much rain, as long as there is rain in Mobei, it will be fine.”

Seeing Xie Wei smiling and talking, Pei Yu got closer to him like a ghost.After Xie Wei finished speaking, seeing Pei Yu so close to him, he took a step back and said, "So, are you satisfied?"

Pei Yu was very satisfied, and suddenly said: "If Brother Xie doesn't dislike it, can I make friends with you?"

Xie Wei nodded, but didn't take his words seriously.Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was about to rain, so Pei Yu said: "If brother Xie has anything to do, come to Quanfu Inn to find me, and I will take my leave today."

Xie Wei felt that a huge raindrop hit him, so he immediately called Xie Yuan and returned to Bai's house in a carriage.

Back at Bai's house, Xie Yuan's clothes were a little wet.Mrs. Xie ordered Nanny Wen to take her to change clothes, and then called Xie Wei to stop.

Seeing Mrs. Xie's hesitant expression, Xie Wei sat down beside her and asked, "Mother, what happened?"

Mrs. Xie pondered: "Ah, tell me the truth, is your grandfather unhappy when we return to the capital?"

Xie Wei's heart tightened, and he sighed: "Mother is grandpa's own daughter, how could he be unhappy? Besides, when you come back these few days, isn't grandma's eyes red when she sees you every day?"

Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "I'm talking about your grandfather and your uncle. Do they...have different political views from your father?"

Mrs. Xie is a very thoughtful person, perhaps someone's attitude made her smell something wrong.Besides, Xie Yuan has not been treated kindly by the sisters of the Bai family in the past few days.Xie Wei originally thought that since they are relatives, even though they have different opinions on political affairs, they would not meet the enemy.Unexpectedly, even the girls of the younger generation would not welcome the Xie family's arrival because of the influence of the elders and brothers.

I am afraid that among these relatives, only Mrs. Bai is really happy for the return of her daughter and grandson.

Mrs. Xie sighed: "A few years ago your aunt wrote and said she would marry your cousin to you. But today I mentioned this matter, but they avoided it in every possible way..."

Xie Wei smiled and said: "So mother is worried about this, maybe the aunts are not willing to let the cousin go to Mobei to suffer?" That being said, Xie Wei felt from Mrs. Xie's words that the Bai family wanted to be completely different from the Xie family. manner.

Suddenly both Xie Wei and Mrs. Xie heard the exclamation of the attendants outside the courtyard, Xie Wei walked out the door, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

An attendant beside Taiwei Xie came forward profusely with sweat, and said, "My lord was injured on the way back to the mansion..."

After Madam Xie heard the news, her legs went limp.Xie Wei hurriedly supported her, and called Madam Wen to help Mrs. Xie into the house first.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Xie Wei felt a chill in his heart.At the feet of the emperor, these people don't even pay attention to the emperor at all.Xie Wei remembered Taiwei Xie telling him to be careful in everything, but never thought that it was Taiwei Xie who had the accident first.

After calming down, Xie Wei asked in a deep voice, "Where is your injury? Is it serious?"

The attendant panicked and said: "I don't know, I just heard that the master smashed the flowerpot..."

The road back to Bai's house from the imperial city was originally extremely prosperous, but today it rained heavily and there were few pedestrians.I'm afraid no one will know who pushed the flowerpot down. The ministers in the court are really scheming.

At this time, several attendants came in carrying Taiwei Xie.Xie Wei rushed over quickly, and was relieved to see Taiwei Xie was still awake although his shoulders were covered with blood.Xie Wei helped them move Taiwei Xie to the couch in the inner room, and asked the attendants beside him: "What's going on?"

One of the attendants replied: "My lord came out of the palace today and was walking in a normal manner, but someone pushed a flower pot upstairs and it fell on your shoulder."

Fortunately, it was raining and I couldn't see clearly, it just hit Taiwei Xie on the shoulder, what if it hit his head?

Xie Wei suddenly regretted that they shouldn't have come to Beijing.To accomplish this task, Xie Wei already knew how many hardships and obstacles he would have to go through, but seeing Taiwei Xie injured with his own eyes is another matter...

The doctor of the Bai family came in staggeringly holding an umbrella, and said, "The prime minister heard that the Taiwei was injured on the way back to the mansion, so he ordered the villain to come and treat the lord."

Xie Wei looked at the government doctor coldly, not wanting to let him in, but heard Taiwei Xie's weak voice from inside the room: "Doctor, please come in."

The government doctor saluted Xie Wei, then went in to treat Taiwei Xie.He removed the stained blood on Taiwei Xie's shoulder, prepared the medicine and prescribed a prescription, and left.

Xie Wei frowned and looked at Taiwei Xie: "Father..."

Taiwei Xie sighed: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with your grandfather."

Just as he was about to ask Taiwei Xie for details, Xie Wei heard Madam Xie's bewildered voice who had just walked in: "What's wrong with father?"
