"Yes, I will obey your orders."
"Qingzi, hurry up and leave three umbrellas for the commander and the three of you."
Upon hearing this, Qingzi immediately took two umbrellas from the hands of the two brothers beside him, and then sent the umbrellas to Liu Dashao and the other three with a smile on his face.
"Commander, umbrella."
"Deputy Commander Song, and this big brother, please also invite me."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded. After taking the umbrella in his hand casually, he waved happily to Yang Wenhu and the soldiers who were standing aside.
"Lao Yang, I will go back first, young master. You can continue your duty on the city wall."
"The general will obey your orders and I will send you off to the commander-in-chief."
"We will send you off handsomely."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, then opened the oil paper umbrella in his hand and strode straight out of the city gate.
Song Qing and Liu Song chuckled and opened the umbrellas in their hands, and immediately set off to follow Young Master Liu.
The moment Young Master Liu walked out of the city gate, the pattering sound of rain falling on the umbrella echoed instantly.
The movement sounded chaotic, but it also had an inexplicable rhythm.
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and looked around for a few times at the hurried passers-by on the long street. He frowned slightly and looked sideways at Song Qing, who had already followed.
"Brother, the autumn rain that started the night before yesterday stopped only in the second half of yesterday night.
How long has it been since midnight yesterday? It started to rain again.
I don’t know how long this autumn rain will last.
It rains so frequently, which is not a good thing!"
Song Qing listened to Mr. Liu's somewhat helpless tone, gently moved the umbrella in his hand, raised his head and bent his knees against the light rain falling in the sky.
"Third brother, God is going to rain, and no one can stop it.
All we can do is watch helplessly, what else can we do?"
Liu Mingzhi let out a silent breath, looked at the raindrops falling from the umbrella, and quickened his pace.
"I hope this autumn rain will not be like the last autumn rain, which lasts for a day and a night.
I hope it can stop sooner."
Listening to Young Master Liu's words that were full of regrets, Song and Qing also quickly quickened their pace.
Rumble, rumble.
Rumble, rumble, click.
Between the sky and the earth, bursts of deafening thunder suddenly sounded.
With bursts of lightning and thunder, the rain gradually became heavier under the dark sky.
For a time, the pedestrians coming and going on the long street suddenly became more hurried.
It was probably around noon when Liu and the other three returned to the palace.
Outside the palace gate.
After Liu Mingzhi put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, he lowered his head and stamped his shoes several times, which were about half wet from the rain.
"Brother, I won't invite you in for tea.
The shoes on my feet were more than half soaked by the rain. Not to mention how uncomfortable it was now, I went back to change to clean shoes.
Brother, I think the shoes on your feet are not much better, so you should go back and change your shoes earlier."
Song Qing smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then for the sake of brother, I will go back first."
"Go slowly and don't see me off."
"Liu Song, you should go back early and put on a pair of shoes."
"Yes, I will leave first."
Seeing Liu and Song turning around and leaving, Young Master Liu put the umbrella in his hand on the table and walked straight towards the palace.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw several beauties chatting and laughing, placing bowls, chopsticks, plates, teapots, wine bottles and other items on the table.
Qi Ya, Sister Qinglian and others saw Young Master Liu walking into the hall, and they all greeted him with smiling eyes.
"Husband, you are back."
"Husband, you are back."
"Husband."
"Husband."
"Husband, if I heard correctly, you were probably talking to Brother Yu and Liu Song outside the palace gate just now, right?
Why don't you let the two of them come in and have a cup of tea?"
After Liu Mingzhi walked to a group of beauties and stopped, he happily shook the sleeves on his arms.
"Hahaha, eldest brother, they are just like my husband. Either their clothes are half wet from the rain, or their shoes are more than half soaked by the rain.
Therefore, for my husband’s sake, I asked them to go back earlier and change into clean clothes and shoes.”
Listening to her husband's explanation, Qi Ya and the other sisters all smiled and nodded a few times.
"So that's it."
"Well, it's true to say that the last autumn rain lasted all day and night, and it didn't stop until midnight yesterday.
As the old saying goes, after the rain the sky clears up. I originally thought it would be a sunny day!
Who would have thought that just half the day had passed when another autumn rain came from the sky."
"It's extremely extreme, one after another, and there's no end to the next one."
"Oh, I don't know how long this autumn rain will last."
Liu Mingzhi listened to the voices of the beauties talking to each other, and first took off the wine bag and tobacco pouch from his waist and placed them on the table.
Then, he took out the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.
"Sister Ya, Sister Shan."
"Hey, I'm here."
"Hey, husband?"
Young Master Liu untied the jade belt around his waist and nodded at the dishes in the hands of the beauties.
"Sister Ya, Sister Shan, are you sisters preparing these tableware for lunch?"
Hearing her husband's question, Qi Ya smiled and nodded.
"Yes, it's already this hour. What else can I use these tableware for if I don't use them for lunch?"
Young Master Liu took off the jade belt around his waist and gently swung it twice, then looked at the group of ladies in front of him and slowly let out a breath.
"Sister Ya, is it already noon now?"
"Going back to my husband, it's just past noon. Not long ago, it happens to be time to prepare lunch.
No, Yun'er, sister Jie'er, sister Yan'er, and sister Qingshi have already gone to the kitchen to cook.
The concubines and sisters were idle in the palace, so they thought of placing the tableware in advance.
Yun'er, sister Yun Shu and the others have been in the kitchen for a long time.
I estimate that in about half an hour, we should be able to start having lunch."
When Liu Mingzhi heard this, he raised his hand and gently stroked his stomach, which was still hungry, twice, and smacked his lips a few times with a slightly raised brow.
"Oh, time flies really fast!
I feel like I just had breakfast and it didn’t take long, but I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye I would have to start lunch again.”
"Husband, isn't this how life is?
One day at a time, it will be over as soon as it is said to be over."
"Yes, day by day, it will be over."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, he opened his arms and stretched his body twice, then started walking directly towards the back hall.
"Sister Ya, Lian'er, Yao'er, Shu'er, you sisters, please continue setting the tableware. My husband will go to the back hall to change his clothes and shoes first."
"Hey, I know it."
"Hey, okay."
"Yes, yes, yes, husband, please go quickly."
"Husband, the back hall is very sleepy. Please pay attention to where you step."
When Young Master Liu was smiling and waving to the beauties behind him, he seemed to have thought of something, and his steps suddenly stopped slightly.
"Sister Shan."
"I'm here, husband, what's the matter?"
"Sister Shan, I remember that the water in the back hall seems to have been used up. Please help me get a basin of water for washing my feet and bring it over."
Murong Shan heard her husband's explanation and nodded her head a few times with a smile.
"Hey, I know it.
Husband, please wait a moment, I will send you there right away."
"Well, well, then I will go to the back hall to wait for you.
By the way, Sister Shan, I just want to wash my feet for my husband, so you can just get some cold water in the water tank outside the palace door."
Murong Shan's pretty face was slightly startled: "Ah? Is cold water enough?"
"Yes, you just need to get some cold water in the water tank outside. There is no need to prepare hot water."
Listening to Young Master Liu's affirmative tone, Murong Shan smiled softly and replied softly: "Okay, I know, I will go outside the palace gate to get water for you, husband."
"Okay, then my husband will go to the back hall to wait for you."
Soon, Young Master Liu and his wife strode towards the back hall, while the other walked straight to the door of the hall.
After Master Liu walked all the way into the back hall, he immediately picked up the matchbox on the corner of the table and lit two candles skillfully.
Immediately, he started to take off his robe.
Soon.
Liu Mingzhi had just taken off his shoes, and Murong Shan walked into the back hall with a smile on her face, carrying a medium-sized copper basin.
"Husband, here comes the water for washing your feet."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at the beautiful woman who was walking towards him with a gentle smile and lotus steps. He sat on the chair behind him with a smile, bent down slightly and started to take off his pants.
"Sister Shan, thank you for your hard work."
Murong Shan smiled sweetly, first leaned over Liu's waist and placed the water basin in her jade hands on the ground, then reached out to take the pants from Young Master Liu's hand and placed them sideways on the chair beside her.
"Silly husband, you are my husband, and I am your wife.
It is my duty to serve you, no matter how hard it is, it is not hard."
Murong Shan spoke softly and elegantly squatted in front of Young Master Liu.
Then, he reached out and grabbed his husband's feet, put them in the basin and gently scrubbed them.
"Husband, I haven't seen you since this morning. What did you, your eldest brother, and Liu Song do?"
Listening to the questioning words of the beautiful woman in front of him, Mr. Liu casually rolled up his inner sleeves twice, then carelessly leaned sideways and rested his arms on the armrests of the chair.
"Sister Shan, as my husband, I originally wanted to go outside the city to take a look at the situation after the heavy rain. I also wanted to take a walk around and have a good look at the topography around the royal city.
My husband and I, a group of three, had only traveled about ten miles when we felt that something was not right about the weather. It looked as if it would rain at any time.
In order to avoid being soaked in the rain, we had no choice but to go home early.
Sister Shan, you don’t know, but fortunately for my husband, we came back early.
If we had come back just a quarter of an hour later, the three of us would have been soaked in the rain."
After Murong Shan carefully washed her husband's feet, she stood up with a smile on her face and walked straight to the changing rack a few steps away.
"You, you didn't even check what the weather was like today when you left the city.
In the morning, when the sky in the east just starts to light up, the sky looks like a storm is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building.
Under the weather like this, the three of you still have to go out of the city for a walk.
If this is the case, if it doesn’t rain, who else will it rain on you?”
As the beauty spoke in an angry tone, she raised her slender arms and pointed at the towels on the wash rack.
"Husband, which towels are used to wipe feet?"
"Those towels on the left are all..."
Murong Shan Yanran smiled lightly and nodded a few times, then took off the two towels and returned.
"It's late autumn now, so if it's just a little rain, it's not a big deal.
However, it is both windy and rainy. What if you accidentally catch the wind and cold?
If you are really infected with the cold, it will be your own body that will suffer in the end.
No matter how much my sisters feel sorry for you, they cannot bear the slightest bit of pain for you."
Murong Shan complained to Young Master Liu in a coquettish tone, while gently wiping the water stains on his feet.
"Husband, what kind of person you are, outsiders don't know, how can I, the person next to me, not know?
Concubine, I am now in front of your husband, and I dare to say it with absolute certainty.
Husband, when you take your eldest brother and Liu Song out of the city this time, you definitely don’t just want to see the situation outside the city after the rain, but you also want to observe the topography and landforms around the royal city.
Of course, I don’t know my husband’s real purpose of going out of town this time.
But!
No matter what you want to do, husband, it is not important to me.
There is only one thing I care about about my body, and that is your body, husband.
In my heart, only your body, husband, is the most important.
As for other things, they are not worth mentioning to me, and I don’t want to pay any attention to you."
As Murong Shan spoke, she casually put the towel in her hand on the chair.
Then, while walking towards the wardrobe a few steps away, she continued to complain to Mr. Liu in a soft voice.
"At the beginning, my husband, you planned to take your concubines and sisters to accompany Rongrong back to Gumo Country in the Western Regions to visit the bride. You clearly promised that you wanted to relax physically and mentally.
Until now, I still clearly remember the words you said.
You said that you were too tired and wanted to take a good rest.
Our family can take advantage of your rest time to accompany Sister Rongrong back to Gumo Country in the Western Regions to visit relatives and visit her family.
What's the result? What's the result?
The result is, concubine, I don’t see how you, husband, can relax.
On the contrary, I am becoming more and more tired.”
