The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 499
It rained heavily at night, and when Pingyang woke up the next day, Yuzhu came in and said, "Ma'am, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave today. The heavy rain last night destroyed the bridge on the river."

The river is so fast that it can't support boats, and passers-by can only cross the bridge.

Hearing this, Pingyang furrowed his brows and said in worry: "We can't cross the river, how can we go back to Beijing, alas, what should we do?"

Yuzhu persuaded: "Madam, don't worry, Young Master Biao has already brought people to investigate, and Young Master Biao is here, so he has his own way to deal with everything."

Knowing that the road was blocked, Pingyang was not in the mood for breakfast. After Yuzhu helped her wash and get dressed, she hurried out of the house to find out about the situation.

At this moment, the sky has cleared and the autumn sun is hanging high, but it rained a lot last night, and there is still rainwater on the road that has not receded.

Ping Yang was standing under the corridor of the post house. She saw Pei Yunqian returning from the outside with two young servants. Ping Yang stepped on the blue bricks paved on the road and asked, "I heard that the bridge on the river was washed away." Ruined, isn't it?"

Pei Yunqian replied: "It's okay, the office has already ordered the craftsmen to rush to repair it, and the work can be completed in two or three days."

Hearing this, Pingyang felt relieved, and replied: "If we take a detour, the current road is muddy and difficult to walk, I'm afraid it will take a day or two, so let's just wait here for a few days, and wait until the bridge deck is repaired." Let's go."

Pei Yunqian nodded and said, "That's what I planned too."

The posthouse is not far from the river, and Pingyang looked at the sparkling river, and suggested: "There is nothing left and right, I want to go to the river to have a look."

The name of the river is Qushui, and it is the largest river in Yizhou.

Pei Yunqian nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you there."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "When I came here, I was eager to go home, and I didn't bother to appreciate it when I passed by Qushui. Although I delayed my trip today, I can take a good look at the water in my hometown."

The master and servant returned to the room and changed into water shoes, followed Pei Yunqian out of the post house and came to Qushui.

Although the water surface here is only a few tens of feet wide, the water is the most turbulent. Because it cannot support boats, a bridge was built on the river.

Pei Yunqian led Pingyang and Yuzhu to stand on the stand by the bridge. Standing here, one can overlook the entire water surface from a high position.

It just rained heavily last night, and the river was booming. The rolling river roared and flowed, making loud noises. There were people standing in twos and threes on both sides of the river bank. Most of them were travelers like them who had delayed their trip due to the bridge deck being destroyed. By.

On the bridge not far away, dozens of craftsmen are waving tools and rushing to repair the bridge. The sound of the shovel hitting the stones and the whistling of the river are mixed with the hearts of those who are rushing.

Pei Yunqian looked into the distance and murmured: "This river is the soul of Yizhou. Seeing this river will make people feel at ease."

Ping Yang, who was standing beside Pei Yunqian, joked, "My cousin was born in Chang'an. You are just a passer-by in Yizhou. Speaking of which, I am a native of Yizhou."

When Pei Yunqian heard this, he looked away, looked at Pingyang, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although I was born in Chang'an, I grew up in Yizhou. After all, it was the customs here that raised me up."

The two were chatting here, Yuzhu pointed to the other side of the river and said in surprise: "Ma'am, look quickly, is the one on the other side of the river my uncle?"

Hearing the words, Ping Yang took a look and saw Li Xiang standing on the stand across the river, waving vigorously towards this side. Although he couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, Ping Yang could recognize him at a glance.

"Why is your husband here?"

Ping Yang was surprised, staring at Li Xiang who was waving at him on the other side of the river.

At first Yuzhu was not sure, but now that Pingyang confirmed it, she squinted her eyes and looked at the other side of the river carefully, muttering in her mouth: "My uncle came to pick you up, unfortunately the river was destroyed, he This is separated from the other side."

Pingyang nodded, she glanced at her husband on the other side of the river who kept waving at her, she gradually frowned, looked sideways at Pei Yunqian and said: "My husband must be in a hurry, but the bridge deck is destroyed, he can't get over Come on, I can't make it through, what can I do."

Although Ping Yang is not as in love with Li Xiang as she used to be, she is a kind person after all, seeing her husband chasing her from thousands of miles away, but they can only look at each other and cannot see each other, Ping Yang can't help but feel anxious.

Because of the anxiety, the little face that was still jumping happily just now also collapsed, like a sad little rabbit.

Pei Yunqian glanced at Li Xiang on the other side of the river, then lowered his eyes to Pingyang and comforted him: "The bridge deck can be repaired in only two or three days, don't worry, just let him wait there for a few days."

Pingyang Liumei still frowned, nodded slightly towards Pei Yunqian, and replied dully: "That's the only way."

"Let's go, it's very windy in the stands. If you stand for a long time, be careful not to catch a cold." After speaking, Pei Yunqian led Pingyang and Yuzhu down the stairs.

Li Xiang learned that Pingyang followed Pei Yunqian back to Yizhou, and he had come all the way in search of stars and moons. He had to stay in the posthouse because of the heavy rain last night. He would have arrived in Yizhou today, and he never thought that a heavy rain would destroy After the bridge section, he came to the river to check early in the morning, but he never expected to see his wife standing on the other side of the river.

He met his wife but couldn't get together, Li Xiang was already anxious, seeing her and Pei Yunqian talking intimately there, Li Xiang was even more anxious and angry, he stood on the stand and waved towards Pingyang on the other side, with great difficulty I hoped that my wife would notice him, but I didn't expect that my wife would leave with that man.

Li Xiang's heart felt as uncomfortable as if it had been gouged out and thrown on the fire.

He was so anxious that he jumped off the stands and shouted loudly at Pingyang who was about to leave, but the river was roaring, how could her shouts reach the ears of his wife on the other side of the river? Turning around, she desperately waved her hands towards Pingyang, calling her one after another.

Seeing that Pingyang was about to leave with Pei Yunqian, Li Xiang jumped into the river with a "plop" in desperation.

Seeing this, the accompanying servants were all dumbfounded with fright, and after realizing it, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Master! My God, why did you jump into the river! Oh, come on! Come on!" People! Come and save my son!"

The people on the bank heard the sound and thought someone had accidentally fallen into the water, so they ran and gathered together, but the river was so fast that no one dared to jump in to save someone. Grab it ashore.

The current on the bank was not too strong, and Li Xiang's water skills were not bad. Although he fell off the top immediately, his head appeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiang heard the calls of the people on the bank, but he didn't grab the ropes thrown towards him, but swam towards the other side of the river with all his strength.

　Today is the last day of this month, friends who have a monthly pass in their hands support it!
