After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

Chapter 17 The Quiet Night
Luo Fu entered the meditation room, although the meditation room is not big, it is extremely neat.

All the way through the wind and rain, even holding an umbrella, the cloak on the outside has been soaked, so it is simply covered by the cloak on the outside, and the dress inside is still dry. Love took off the cloak, put it on the hanger, Fu picked up the dry towel hanging on the rack and carefully wiped the rainwater off his face.

She was busy here by herself when two servants entered.

Both of them were holding things in their hands, one was carrying a hot water bucket, and the other was carrying a food box.

When the two met Luo Fu, they saluted respectfully and said hello: "This slave is ordered to take care of Madam, please don't dislike her."

Luo Fu excused the ceremony from the two of them, and the servant who carried the water stepped forward, poured hot water into the wooden basin, and said with a smile: "We have prepared hot meals for Madam, Madam, please take a bath first."

Love's hands were freezing cold, she soaked her bare hands in hot water for a while, and then washed her face with hot water, only then did she feel more refreshed.

"Madam was caught in the rain, we have prepared hot soup and food for Madam, please use it while it is hot, the servants are waiting next door, if there is something to do, Madam just ring the bell."

The two maids set out meals for Love, and retreated knowingly.

After going through all this trouble, Love was really hungry at the moment. She sat at the table and drank a cup of hot chicken soup first. After her body was completely warmed up, she began to eat slowly.

After eating, when the two servants came to clean up, one of the servants gave Luo Fu a few small story books, and said with a smile: "This is what my cousin ordered the little novice to send to my wife just now. It's boring on a rainy night, and my wife is right." Read a book to relieve boredom."

As the daughter of a former imperial tutor, Luo Fu has read poetry and books since she was a child. She has never bothered to read such superficial little books. Even so, she still took those little books and greeted the servant woman politely. Fan.

At night, the rain continued.

The maid held an oil lamp for Luo Fu, and boiled a pot of hot tea on the desk heater. After a while, the long-lasting fragrance of tea filled the room.

A few plantains were planted in front of the window, and the raindrops hit the leaves of the plantains with a thunderbolt, playing a natural melody.

Love was bored, so she casually picked up the few small books sent by Sima Rui's order, she picked out one at random, and flipped through it casually to pass the time.

Some of these small books tell the tortuous stories of gifted scholars and beauties, and some record the legends of fox ghosts and flower fairies.Unexpectedly, on such a lonely rainy night, Love actually took these superficial little books into her eyes. It was not until a servant woman yawned and came in to add carbon that she realized that it was getting late.

The servant woman refilled the charcoal fire in the small stove, and couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, it's already the third watch, please take care of yourself and go to sleep early."

Only then did Love put down the little book in her hand, she stretched her waist long, turned off the oil lamp by the bed, lay down in the warm quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

When Love woke up, the sky was bright, the rain had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly.

Seeing that Luo Fu woke up, the maid hurriedly prepared some things to wash, and said with a smile: "Madam, please take a bath. Just now, Madam Tai ordered someone to send a message, saying that I will wait for you to tidy up and go to the front hall for breakfast."

Luo Fu woke up late, and heard that Mrs. Tai was waiting for her to have breakfast, so she hurriedly packed it up. After she finished packing, she followed the maid to the front yard. Mrs. Tai and Sima Rui had been waiting for her for a long time.

Luo Fu hurriedly confessed to Mrs. Tai: "It's a crime for my concubine to be late and to trouble my grandmother for so long."

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "No problem, no problem, you are still young, it is normal to snooze for a while, come and have breakfast with grandma."

Love stepped forward respectfully, bowed her head and sat down under the old lady.

The servants came forward one after another, served soup and vegetables, and served very attentively.

Mrs. Tai picked up the jade chopsticks, and lovingly took a bite of food for Love, who hurriedly replied "Thank you"

Mrs. Tai muttered: "It's all my fault, the old woman, who insisted on dragging you to accompany me to offer incense. It caught up with the rain, and I feel wronged that you lived here yesterday. You must have not slept well."

Although Madam Tai is gentle to everyone on the face, Luo Fu can feel that the old man treats her with sincerity, so Love is not so restrained in front of Madam Tai, she replied with a smile: "If you sleep well Not good, how can granddaughter-in-law wake up late, grandma is worrying too much, I slept more peacefully here than in the mansion last night."

Mrs. Tai heard the witty words, and said with a "hehe" smile: "It's good that you haven't been wronged."

Then, Mrs. Tai said casually again: "Yesterday, when I was listening to the master's lecture, it started to rain halfway. I was going to order someone to pick you up from your aunt. They said it was raining heavily, and it would be inevitable if you came back halfway." It was raining, I just gave up, but I was thinking about it in my heart, I never thought that the rain would never end, and then I couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the servants to pick you up, but when they came back, they said that you had left Houzhuang long ago."

Yesterday she encountered rain on the way, and when Sima Rui came to pick her up, he made it clear that Mrs. Tai ordered him to come.

Sima Rui told such a little lie, probably because she was worried about her embarrassment.In short, Love is grateful for his care.

Love returned to Mrs. Madam and said: "Yesterday, I talked with my aunt for a while before returning. When it rained, I was already back, and I didn't get caught in the rain."

Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "Oh, that's good."

Sima Rui glanced at Luo Fu, and then said to Mrs. Madam: "It rained heavily yesterday, and the road was inevitably muddy. I will escort my grandmother and cousin back when the road is dry in the afternoon."

Mrs. Tai replied: "That's fine, I haven't finished listening to Master Zhuiyun's scriptures yesterday, after I finish listening to this volume of scriptures, it won't be too late to go back."

After breakfast, Mrs. Tai and her servants were led to listen to the scriptures by the little novice. Sima Rui looked at Luo Fu and asked, "Since we only left at Xiangwu, my cousin still has to go?" Is Houzhuang visiting Second Aunt?"

Love replied: "It's a long way to go to Houzhuang, and the road must be muddy after it rains. Since grandma is going to leave after listening to the scriptures, I won't pass."

As she said that, she thanked Sima Rui: "Thank you cousin for those little books that I ordered yesterday. I found them very interesting. It's just that I came out in a hurry and forgot to bring them out. I'll return them when I return later." for you."

Sima Rui said: "Since my cousin likes to watch it, I will give it to you."

Love couldn't help asking curiously: "These little books don't seem to be circulated in the market, where did my cousin get them?"

Sima Rui replied truthfully: "These little books were originally written by a young monk in this monastery."

When Love heard this, she blurted out in surprise: "Can a young novice write those stories about talented scholars and beautiful ladies?"

As soon as these words came out, Love felt abrupt, and she couldn't help lowering her eyes.

Sima Rui smiled, and replied: "These little books were later discovered by Master Zhuiyun, and he said that the little novice was unclean, and drove him down the mountain to return to vulgarity. Before the little novice left, he took these little books Leave it to me."

Love asked curiously: "So that's the case, but I don't know what happened to the little monk after he was driven down the mountain?"

Sima Rui said: "I have some connections with this little novice. I saw him in the city half a year after he left the mountain. He was working in a bookstore and married the bookstore owner's daughter."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Sima Rui's mouth: "Look, Master Zhuiyun said that his six organs are not clean, and it is true."
