Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 189

[189. Chapter One Eighty Eight]

The clouds dissipated, and the sun shone across the window.

After listening to Liu Chaoming’s words, Su Jin paused and asked, “Does your honor know my identity?”

She didn’t know much about the friendship between her parents, but she only knew that both her grandfather and father had contacts with the Liu family in Hangzhou.

Liu Chaoming said: “In the eighteenth year of Jingyuan, you were banished to Songshan County. The old imperial censor was afraid that your identity as a woman would be discovered, so he sent a letter to my father, asking him to take you in and teach you in Liu Mansion, and leave a letter for you. Retreat. But my father was very respectful and respectful of the law and ignored the letter from the old censor. I only learned about this two years ago. Later, the old censor passed away with regret. My father couldn’t let go of it for ten years. I have lost an old friend, so I want to invite you to meet at Liu Mansion.”

Su Jin remembered that when Xie Xiang was wrongly killed, the old imperial censor pleaded for his old friend and was tortured by Emperor Jing Yuan. Later, he heard that Xie Xiang’s only granddaughter In this disaster, he disappeared, and he went to Sichuan and Shu alone to find him, delaying the treatment and causing his legs to die.

Not to mention the friendship between Liu’s and Xie’s, just relying on the kindness of Meng Lao Censor to her, she should also visit Mr. Liu Lao.

However, if this matter was in the past, it would be fine. Although she and Liu Yun are OK on the surface, they are already at odds with each other in private. A few days ago, the person she sent to watch Qian Yueqian came to report that the carousel envoy was arrested before he left the city. She killed herself, she knew it was Liu Yun’s handwriting.

In this way, how could she change her daughter’s dress to visit his house? Isn’t this putting yourself in a very dangerous situation?

It seemed that the wind was blowing outside, and the shadow of the sun on the window was slightly rippling.

Seeing that Su Jin was silent, Liu Chaoming also fell silent. She knew what the situation of the two of them was now, and he knew it too. Well, he was the one who offended first. He closed his sleeves and gave Su Jin a bow, which meant

an apology. He turned around and was about to leave when Su Jin suddenly called out from behind him: “Liu Yun.”

Spilled it in, poured it on him, and poured it on her.

Su Jin felt that the bright light was about to expose her deadly secret.

But in fact, her life experience, her secrets, have never been concealed in front of Liu Yun.

“When will Ling Zun see me?” she asked.

Liu Chaoming was stunned.

If it had nothing to do with the position or the current situation, she always had an inexplicable, almost stubborn trust in him.

Su Jin said again: “I… don’t have a dress, so it should take some time to prepare.”

Liu Chaoming was quiet for a moment before saying: “Father is still staying in the Marquis Wenyuan these days, and he won’t be back until two days later.”

Su Jin then nodded and said, “Okay, Shi Yu will visit the mansion in two days.” She thought for a while, “I will bring Sister-in-law Tan with me when I come, and ask the adults to set up a room for Shi Yu, and I will come to your mansion. I just changed my clothes.” Liu Chaoming

replied silently, and said silently: “Thank you.”

Su Jin shook his head: “Your Excellency is polite.”

After borrowing a suit, she mentioned the matter to Mrs. Tan, but Mrs. Tan said, “Why don’t you have any clothes? When Miss Su Wan came to Beijing, the lord also ordered to make some skirts for her, and although Miss is not in the capital today, After all, I keep a few clothes throughout the year, and the adults choose one.”

Su Jin didn’t bother to choose, but only instructed Mrs. Tan to prepare the things that her daughter’s family needed, and then went back to the palace to take care of the government affairs. .

On the contrary, Mrs. Tan took care of this for two days, pulling out the hairpins and hairpins that her daughter could use, including her own, and picking them the same way, until they followed Su Jindeng. After going up to the carriage of Liu Mansion, he worriedly said: “My lord is busy with the official affairs of the imperial court all day long, and he is too careless about his own affairs. The etiquette of women is very different from that of men, and your lord is not willing to spare even half an hour. Learning.”

Su Jin smiled and said, “It’s the same with learning now. I read the Fourth Book of Women in my early years.”

There were very few servants in Liu Mansion. Today, most of them were sent to the backyard by Liu Chaoming, and only An Ran and Ah Liu were left to wait in front of the mansion.

Although Aliu accompanied Su Jin on tour in the past, he didn’t know that she was actually a daughter. He didn’t fall asleep for two consecutive nights until he heard An Ran say it. He had been warned repeatedly by An Ran in advance, and although he wanted to speak, he stopped.

An Ran quoted Su Jin from a wing room and said: “The room is equipped with makeup and water. If Lord Su needs anything else, An Ran and Aliu will be guarding outside the room, even if they give an order. The Lord has told us to wait for Lord Su. After washing and changing clothes, An Ran went to report to Master Su, please take your time, Su Jin.”

Su Jin nodded, “You have to work.”

Mrs. Qin prepared two skirts for Su Jin, one plain and one begonia red.

Su Jin didn’t have much experience in picking out dresses. He just felt that the people he wanted to meet were from his father’s generation, and the clothes shouldn’t be too beautiful.

Fortunately, the plain color is not completely plain. The skirt is as white as the moon, and it gradually turns blue at the hem of the skirt. The material is the best silk and satin above, and it walks like a swaying lake under the moon. If you look closely, you can still see the blooming water hibiscus among the blue and blue waves. It is embroidered with dark blue thread, and only the outline is drawn, so that it does not disturb the purity, does not add prosperity, and is swaying.

While combing Su Jin’s hair, Mrs. Tan said, “The girl’s family has to move the lotus step gently when walking. The adults have not worn her daughter’s clothes for so many years, so the lotus step is impossible. She can only make a person with a wavy skirt to cover it. It’s not obvious.” After speaking

, he taught Su Jin the usual hand gestures of several women, and said: “The adults like to hold their hands when they talk, but the girls must not put their hands when they talk. If the adults don’t know where to put their hands. It’s fine to hang it by your side or overlap it in front of you.”

Su Jin learned one by one, feeling that he was enough for today, and said with a smile: “I understand, then I will hang my hands and never move, no matter what the top is. Whatever you ask, just talk.”

Then she pushed open the door and said to An Ran and Aliu who were guarding outside, “Let’s go.”

An Ran and Aliu turned around and saw Su Jin. Both of them were stunned for a moment. After a while, An Ran was the first to react and said, “Master and Master Liu are waiting for Master Su from the study in the East Courtyard.” “Sir, please come with An Ran.”

She was a junior, so it was right for her to go to the study to meet Liu Xuzhi.

For a while, Su Jin wanted to ask why he didn’t go to the study in the main courtyard, but he remembered that Aliu had said that the study in the main courtyard belonged to Liu Yun, and no one except An Ran was allowed to enter the Liu residence.

It was early autumn, and the sunlight had a very light gleam.

The door of the study was pushed open, Liu Chaoming looked around, and suddenly, he thought it was a white butterfly coming from the moonlight.

There is a lake under the moon, and there are hibiscus flowers blooming in the lake.

The butterfly is Su Shiyu.

The tail of her eyes is really beautiful. It is divided into two parts with the most suitable arc. The tail is light and thin, and it will flutter with a slight movement.

A little rouge on the lips, a thin powder on the face, the breeze and the moon do not leave, and the fragrance of flowers is added.

In fact, Liu Chaoming never cared about a person’s appearance. Even if Su Jin gradually became different in his heart over the years, it was only because of her indomitable tenacity, agility and eagerness to learn, and her amazing talent. .

He had seen her wearing daughter clothes before, but both times it was a matter of life and death.

It wasn’t until today that a butterfly under the moon slammed into his heart, he realized later that Su Shiyu was beautiful.

This kind of moving is called good-looking.

Therefore, when Liu Chaoming reacted, Su Jin had already stepped into the hall to salute Liu Xuzhi.

Then he felt rude and looked away.

“Ayu pays respects to Liu Shibo, Master Liu.” Su Jin was about to bow when suddenly he felt that something was wrong, his hand in the air stopped, and after a while, he retracted it and put it on his waist, bowing.

Knowing this earlier, I should have spared half an hour to learn etiquette with Mrs. Tan.

Luckily, Liu Xuzhi didn’t care, he just said, “You are now the second assistant of the cabinet and the minister of punishment, so you don’t need to obey the ceremony. Sit down.”

This time, Su Jin remembered the etiquette firmly. In front of the chair, he folded his hands and sat firmly before saying, “Thank you, Shibo.”

Liu Xuzhi looked at her and felt that although Su Jin’s brows were more like her father, in terms of his bearing— -Even though it’s a little awkward for her to do the women’s salute now – it really makes people think of Xie Xiang’s demeanor in the past.

“In those days, the old man and your grandfather and father had a mutual friendship, and his two talents were unparalleled in the world, which is heartbreaking.”

Su Jin said: “Yes, when my grandfather was alive, I tried to mention the Liufu in Hangzhou with Ayu, and praised the Liu family. One, the great Confucian family, the glory is hard to hide.”

Liu Xuzhi said: “Since Liu Yun invited you to the mansion, he must have explained the reason to you. Now that your relatives have all passed away, Meng Liang entrusted you to the old man. , I have only one question to ask you today.” He paused, “Would you like to enter my Liu residence in the future?”

After saying this, Liu Chaoming, who was standing beside him, was startled, and he couldn’t help turning to look at Liu Xuzhi.

Su Jin was also stunned: “Liu Shibo, I forgive the younger generation for not understanding what you mean.”

Liu Xuzhi said, “You are a woman after all, and you cannot be an official forever. Although Emperor Jin An is using you, one day your identity will be exposed, and you will not be able to escape a deceiver. For the crime of the king, it is a good policy to choose a time to retire bravely. Meng Liang is right, you are a talented person, and it would be a pity if you retire to the back house, the old man will allow you to continue to be a man, and come to my Liu residence to be a teacher of teaching.”

After listening to Liu Xuzhi’s words, Su Jin knew that he was thinking of himself, got up to give him a bow, and then said: “Thank you Liu Shibo for the invitation, but what will happen in the future, Ayu has a plan in mind, Shibo’s kindness Ayu Got it.”

Liu Xuzhi said: “Do you still want to stay in Beijing? Beijing is dangerous and difficult for you. For you, it is like a step-by-step battle.”

He sighed: “Well, you are the daughter of an old friend. The old man once set you up against the law of etiquette. Disregarding it, although it is worthy of etiquette and law, in the end, it has neglected the friendship with Xie Shi and Meng Liang for so many years. I heard Qi Boyuan say that you have gone through great hardships in these years, and it is the old man who can’t bear to you.”

He said here, Wei Wei After a while, he took out something from his sleeve: “In a few days, the old man will leave for Hangzhou. I have nothing to leave you with. Please accept this jade.”

Liu Xuzhi’s tone was beyond doubt.

Su Jin knew that it was not appropriate to shirk, so he took two steps forward and took Yujue in his hand, and said, “Thank you Liu Shibo.”

This is a clear and warm Yujue with warm tentacles.

Liu Chaoming looked around and was stunned for a moment.
