Chapter 3655: First Guess Chapter 89: Getting Tired
"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.”
