Chapter One, The Guest in the Rainstorm

Most people who came to the capital for the first time wanted to admire the might of the city. But when the carriage reached the ten-mile long pavilion, the heavy rain fell without warning. The sky suddenly became dark, and the eyes were blurred. The sound of raindrops like drums in his ears made Chu Qianmian and the two girls in the car feel chill.

"Girl, add some clothes?"

The two girls groped and pulled out a silk dress from the bag placed in the car. The thin pink color was embroidered with lotus seeds of water, and the feeling of fingertips was cool, which was the inherent characteristic of summer dress.

Chu Qianmian smiled and said, "No need to wear it. This kind of heavy rain has not been falling for a long time. Stop it and you will have to put it away later."

The person who drove the car called out, Chu Qianmian was not careful and was still thinking carefully. The two girls smiled and said, "Uncle Cang said that he had arrived at the city gate and saw the person who was welcoming the girl."

The rain did not slow down, but at this time, you can see two figures on the horse when you look outside the car. The car did not stop, nor did they stop. The city gate flashed in a blur, and what you see was the shop on the street. The curtains were wet, and the desolation appeared in the rain.

Chu Qianmian curled her lips slightly. This is the Beijing, which is known for its prosperity. She really didn't choose a good day to go to Beijing, but she encountered this unmarked Milky Way tears.

He was hesitating about how a chicken fell off when he got off the car, but when the carriage stopped, the Tathagata's movements were rapid and the heavy rain stopped abruptly.

Several golden lights came from the sky and hit the curtain of the car that happened to be lifted. The girl got out of the car in the golden light.

Seeing a person standing at the door, he could guess his identity from his official robe. Yingying smiled and bowed, saying, "I went to Beijing first on my parents' orders. Qianmian met his uncle."

At her feet, the golden light shone out thousands of colorful lotus on the ground, and Chu Qianmian was the most dazzling one among them.

...

Chu Yunfeng, the Minister of Personnel, looked at all this proudly. Although the niece whom he had never met before was not the first person he had ever met, it did not hinder his pride.

I know where this pride comes from.

When the officialdom was in a treacherous manner, he received timely support from his family. Shangshu Chu's pride was not groundless. Facing the pioneer Chu Qianmian, his kindness was not groundless.

"There is water everywhere. Please pray carefully to wet your clothes and get up quickly." Chu Yunfeng said, his mind moving for no reason.

The heavy rain came in a strange way, just like the storm in the court. It went in time again. When my niece got out of the car and the rain disappeared. Isn’t it my savior to look for the right and the wonderful thing to look for?

He was greeted by himself and took Chu Qianmian in person, and his smile deepened along the way.

Mrs. Chu Yun knew they had something to say, so she simply asked Chu Qianmian how hard he had on the road and said she would prepare for tea and food to leave. Chu Qianmian called out, "Dao Dou," and one of the two girls who followed came in and sent a letter from her bag.

"Daodou?" Chu Yunfeng smiled in horror: "The first word is Dao. At first, it sounds murderous. How can you be your niece maid? I wonder who named it?"

He thought that Chu Qianmian was naughty at a young age, so he didn't look at Chu Qianmian, so he wouldn't have the intention of scolding him for the first time. He only looked at the girl Dao Dou.

However, Chu Qianmian smiled and replied: "It was my father who raised her."

Chu Yunfeng was stunned: "Oh?"

Dao Dou asked cleverly again: "When I go back here, my master said that books are self-cultivation, and swords are self-defense, and sages and swords must not be forgotten. Among the grains, beans can cook vegetables, which is the best thing. If you cook your own dishes, no one is allowed to steal them. My name is Dao Dou."

Another girl outside the door bowed and said, "My name is Qiandou."

Chu Yunfeng was about to explain this, but his eyebrows were trembling. What was in his heart? In the girl's words, the book is self-cultivation and the knife is self-defense. It was not right that the scholar was afraid of things at this time. He couldn't help but smile and nodded: "What he said is reasonable."

I read the letter and wrote the reason why Chu Qianmian's parents came late. Another thing is that Mrs. Hou, the champion of the middle-aged family, was about to be born in the morning. I asked my cousin Mrs. Chu Yunfeng to bring Chu Qianmian to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Hou.

Chu Yunfeng could not remember that Chu Qianmian had made friends with the champion Hou Fan family in this room. Besides, the champion Hou Fanhao died of illness ten years ago, and the orphan and widowed mother had few or more contacts. Even the old Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou had in-laws in the court, and there was no reason for sending a distant girl to celebrate her birthday.

Thinking of something, he asked, "How old is my niece?"

"I went back to my uncle. I just celebrated my birthday last month and was twelve years old."

Chu Yunfeng's expression was even worse.

Champion Hou Fanhao has a son, fourteen years old this year, at the age of choosing a marriage. A few years ago, he was so dazzled. In recent years, the matchmaker was unwilling to come to visit. The Fan Hua, the child who spoke to prepare for the title of the title, was recognized as a playboy in the capital.

Although she had not yet been on the widow's door, she was not timid in speaking or behaved improperly. The girl from the Beijing Zhongfan avoided her family when she was old.

He said secretly that my cousin was confused, and this request should not be done.

Chu Qianmian saw his uncle's embarrassment and asked respectfully: "Did you have no contact with the Fan family? If the aunt is inconvenient to go, just go by your niece."

"No, it's just..." Chu Yunfeng thought about it and said clearly that the Fan family had an unmarried man, but it was abrupt niece. What's the relationship between the bad boys in other people's family and her birthday?

The voice was slow, frowning and thinking about the words.

Seeing this, Chu Qianmian smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be in trouble. The old lady of the Fan family knew that she had a father, and it was not abrupt that her niece went to pay her birthday."

"Oh oh oh, that's good." From the reasons for paying birthday, Chu Yunfeng could only feel at ease.

Mrs. Chu came to invite a meal. Chu Yunfeng had a daughter who had already got married and two sons. Chu Qianmian had seen the gifts, and they were the two who were in the rain in the ten-mile long pavilion. The family accompanied Chu Qianmian for dinner. Mrs. Chu sent her to the room she had already packed up for a rest.

...

From the time of origin to Beijing, it was not a three or five-day journey. Chu Qianmian settled down, and the quilt prepared by Mrs. Chu San should go to bed early.

But she asked Dao Dou Gu Dou to take out the small ebony box, and took out three yellowed sheets of paper in the dizzy candlelight.

The paper was old, Chu Qianmian had read it since she was a child, and every word was in her heart. At this moment, she carefully read the three letters from beginning to end again. Just like before, Chu Qianmian focused on these three pieces of paper for a long time.

During the day, it was obvious that the third uncle Chu Yunfeng and his wife looked at the Fan family, and there was only one conclusion that could be explained.

The boy from the Fan family is afraid he will grow crooked.

But so what?

My father always says that a gentleman’s promise is more important than a thousand gold.

Chu Qianmian smiled slightly with a smile on her face. If the boy from the Fan family had become crooked, according to what his father said, he would be a brother. If he had not become crooked... two red clouds quietly flew onto her cheeks.
