The weather was hot and sunny over the weekend, and it really felt like early summer.
She has nothing to do at home.
Suddenly I received a call from the Governor's Mansion.
"...Wen Luo is a little angry. Come over and see him."
The governor's wife said so.
Yun Qiao is not a parent, so she can go see Xi Wenluo, although the Governor's Office is not willing to let the people in the fourth room meet Xi Wenluo.
Fourth Master Xi took his two sons to Peiping to serve as officials. Xi Wenluo was in the Governor's Mansion. The four houses had long since been scattered, and only two old servants were left to look after the house.
Yun Qiao didn't hate Wen Luo, but felt sorry for him living alone in the Governor's Mansion with no acquaintances except the wet nurse, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll go see him."
The Governor's Mansion is majestic, with a tall sentry tower at the entrance. Guards carrying guns aim their guns at the gate.
The car entered the gate first and passed through a tree-lined path about 200 meters away, which is the real gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Yun Qiao got off the car at the gate, and was led into the gate by the adjutant. He walked in from the corridor on the left. At the end of the corridor was the Moon Gate, and when he turned in, there was a small bamboo forest.
There are sentries in the bamboo forest.
From the bamboo forest path, we passed directly through the front yard of the Governor's Mansion and arrived at the small gate of the backyard.
The backyard of the Governor's Mansion refers to the place where the Governor lives, and it is not "small".
The entire backyard is spacious and luxurious, with pavilions and pavilions that are both connected to and independent of the front.
Yun Qiao followed the adjutant for a long time before she met the governor's wife and the tenth lady Xi Wenjie who came to greet her.
Xi Wenjie saw Yun Qiao and reluctantly called out: "Seventh Aunt."
Yun Qiao nodded.
The governor's wife was very natural and led Yun Qiao to the small building where Xi Wenluo lived.
Xi Wenluo is not yet seven years old this year, and he is at the age when children are forgetful. He has not seen Yun Qiao for several months, and he is a bit strange.
Yun Qiao sat next to him and asked him: "What is Wen Luo playing?"
"Small train."
he answered.
Yun Qiao asked him how to play, and he became interested and told her one by one.
He has been losing his temper for the past two days, refusing to eat and only playing with trains.
He didn't speak either.
Until Yun Qiao came.
The governor's wife and Xi Wenjie withdrew, leaving only Yun Qiao to accompany Xi Wenluo.
Yun Qiao thought that Xi Wenluo would ask about his parents and brothers and had already thought about how to answer. Unexpectedly, Xi Wenluo was not interested at all.
Everyone's nature is somewhat similar to that of their biological parents: Xi Wenluo inherited Du Xueru's aloofness. Although he was young, it was obvious that he only pretended to be himself.
The governor's wife probably noticed it and was a little dissatisfied.
Yun Qiao had lunch at the Governor's Mansion.
"...Wen Luo is not very nostalgic."
The governor's wife said it politely.
Yun Qiao didn't know what would happen to him in the future, so he could only comfort the governor's wife: "He was always taken care of by his wet nurse when he was a child, and now she is by his side again.
To him, that's all."
The governor's wife was stunned.
Then, the governor's wife seemed to understand and breathed a sigh of relief.
As for why she refused to eat, under Yun Qiao's skillful questioning, Xi Wenluo told her: "I don't want to eat.
I want to eat cold noodles, but my aunt refuses to give them to me."
He called the governor's wife "aunt", not mother, nor aunt.
This is probably the strategy of the Governor's wife. She wants to establish a mother-son relationship with him without going too far. After all, Wen Luo has already remembered his parents - called Aunt for a long time. In the future, he will remove the prefix and win over him subtly.
The governor's wife explained that the weather was hot and muggy, and she had to pay more attention to her diet. Wen Luo had suffered from diarrhea a few days ago, so she refused to give him cold noodles.
If I say it, it won't be a big deal.
The weather was so stuffy that Yun Qiao was still sweating even though she was wearing a thin mid-sleeve cheongsam.
After lunch she took her leave.
Xi Wenluo didn't keep her, so he went to play with him and didn't pay much attention to anyone.
In the evening, it finally rained.
The rain was quite heavy, mixed with lightning and thunder, strong winds were raging, and the grass and flowers in the courtyard were destroyed and staggered.
"It should be sunny tomorrow, right?"
Yun Qiao thought.
It was not yet the rainy season, but the rain was unexpectedly long-lasting. It continued for four to five days, and there was a heavy rain every day.
Xi Mansion is a place with good drainage, but waterlogging has also occurred.
The road where Yun Qiao went to school was flooded so deep that half of the street was flooded.
"This damn weather, it keeps raining."
said the driver.
Yun Qiao was already very annoyed when Xi Lanting didn't return; the lingering rain made her even more annoyed.
That night, she couldn't help but use a secret spell to change the sky.
This secret spell is not easy. Yun Qiao cast it for half an hour before it ended.
At midnight, it stopped raining.
Yun Qiao woke up in the middle of the night, stood up to drink water, and when she opened the window lattice, she saw the long-lost moonlight.
