Chapter 11 Good Rain

Later, a poet wrote two lines of poetry: Good rain knows the season, and spring happens.It sneaks into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.It is written about spring rain, but the spring rain in the poem should have happened in Jiannan Road.

The spring rain in Chang'an is not like moistening things silently, but drizzling. Under the eaves, you can hear the sound of water curtain flowing along the tiles into the ditch.... Outside the water curtain, there is a misty piece, and the sound of rain fills the whole world.

When Xue Chongxun walked to Daqin Temple, he felt that the scene was a bit similar: he went to see his mother, it was a little early and then came to a temple, and then he also met a woman here.

The difference is that this time I didn’t go to Qianfu Temple, but came to Daqin Temple, which is not far away.

Daqin Temple is located in Yiningfang, next to Kaiyuanmen. The Nestorianism is spread, which is a branch of Christianity.

When it was first introduced to the Tang Dynasty, everyone didn't understand the situation and thought it was a pope in Persia, so they called Persian Temple. Later, they found out that it was not a Persian religion, so they changed the Persian Temple to Daqin Temple, but the name on the official documents still did not change.

Xue Chongxun and his servant walked to the bottom of the temple tower to hide from the rain, and the servant put away his umbrella.

At this time, a woman ran towards her. She didn't bring an umbrella, but she barely covered her head with her hands and ran straight under the eaves, obviously here to hide from the rain.

This woman, Xue Chongxun, didn't know her, but she was soon attracted by her beautiful appearance.

She was wearing a light-colored robe skirt, and the most common Tang style robe skirt is: a short robe on top, a long robe on the bottom, a silk robe on top, and a half-arm.

This elegant outfit is gentle and elegant on her.

I saw a pretty face with a little powder, which was particularly beautiful. My hair was wet by the rain, and a strand of hair was stuck on the corner of my mouth, with a little crystal water droplets on it.

In this situation, the classical beauty of the ancient temple stone pagoda is like a dream. She has a graceful figure and beautiful face, a faint sadness and a poetic charm.

She looked at Xue Chongxun, who was also standing under the eaves, intentionally or unintentionally, and then ignored him, just glanced at the sky from time to time, as if praying to the gods in the sky to stop the rain earlier.

Perhaps it was beautiful things that affected Xue Chongxun's mood, or perhaps it was because of this hazy light rain that Xue Chongxun's mood also became calm. He was in a good mood for a moment, so he took the umbrella from his servant and handed it over: Use my umbrella.

The woman then looked at Xue Chongxun specifically and said with a shy expression: You only have an umbrella, why am I so embarrassed... She showed such a pure expression, and she looked a little childish. She might not be old, and she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Xue Chongxun said quietly: I came here in a carriage, so I can hold it without an umbrella. I don’t know when the rain will stop.

The woman slowly reached out to catch the oil paper umbrella with a little hesitation, and smiled slightly and said: Thank you, Mr. Lang, you are such a kind and enthusiastic person.How can I return the umbrella to you?

After hearing her say this, Xue Chongxun couldn't help but smile.

At this time, the opportunity comes. When you return the umbrella, you can meet again and again.But Xue Chongxun still said in that quiet tone: It’s not important, no need to return it.

The woman looked down at the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and thought for a while. Then she smiled and opened her red lips: Then I won’t be polite anymore... By the way, I don’t know if you have come to Daqin Temple before. There is a repentance hall inside. You can tell your thoughts to the priests in the small window.I saw you seem to be worried and told the priest that this would be much better.

After saying that, she gently pursed her mouth, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and walked into the rain curtain.

A woman in ancient costume holding an oil paper umbrella, in the hazy mist and rain, Xue Chongxun under the eaves looked at her figure, remembering that she had done something good just now, and her mood became a little relaxed.

At this time, he remembered that he saw Yu Wen Ji helping refugees in the City God Temple last time, and he felt a little touched.

The time is almost over, let's go.Xue Chongxun said to the slaves around him.

……

The magnificent Princess Taiping Mansion in Zhenguo has a very good scenery whether it is sunny or rainy.The weeping willows by the lake are more elegant in the light rain, and the towering palace is as hazy as in the clouds.

The two prime ministers are waiting in the front hall. Let’s go to see them first. You can stay here to have a meal with me in the evening.

Princess Taiping only said such a simple sentence after seeing Xue Chongxun, but this sentence is actually not simple.

Xue Chongxun just committed a murder case. Princess Taiping not only had no intention of scolding, but instead asked him to meet the prime minister in the court together. It can be seen that Xue Chongxun not only gained the trust of her mother, but also her place in her heart.

However, he felt a little sad. It was his biological mother. In order to say something to her, she actually took such a lot of effort and did a few bad things.

When they walked to the front hall, two middle-aged men wearing large purple flower robes stood up and saluted Princess Taiping.

Both of them are prime ministers, one is Xiao Zhizhong, who is wide and fat, and he is very calm in his words and deeds; the other is Dou Huaizhen, who is tall and heroic. Although he is over 100 years old, he is still elegant...

When Xue Chongxun saw Dou Huaizhen, he felt incredible. Two years ago, he married Empress Wei's old lady, an old woman whose teeth were almost gone, and what a funny scene they should have when they were celebrating in the palace.

The princess' eldest son Xue Chongxun was also behind. They were a little surprised when they saw him, but they returned to normal in a flash.

Because it was the first time Xue Chongxun appeared on such an occasion, it was inconvenient to neglect him, Dou Huaizhen specially treated Xue Chongxun with each other, and then casually said: Xue Lang doesn’t have to worry about the incident a few days ago, it’s not a big deal.

At this time, Xiao Zhizhong took over and said: However, Li Shouyi threatened to intervene and wanted to take care of it. This person was a bit difficult, and Xue Lang had to be on guard against him.Xiao Zhizhong has always been cautious, so he said so.

Dou Huaizhen shook her head and said: I don’t know Li Shouyi’s old background. His foundation is very shallow. What kind of prodigal son can he make?

Princess Taiping had no intention of scolding in her eyes, but cursed: The incompetent boy will always know how to compete for strength and be competitive!Now something is wrong, I am not going to ask me, a mother, to clean up the situation for you.

Xue Chongxun bowed and said: I know I was wrong.

Dou Huaizhen smiled when she saw this and said: It is rare for young people to be decisive and motivated in their work. However,... it is not necessary to oust Feng Yuanjun from the stage. In this way, Xue Lang is the one who is in the wrong, and he gives everyone a bad impression.

Xue Chongxun thought to himself: Now the four prime ministers in the court who are inclined toward the prince have been driven off the stage by their mother, let alone a small Feng Yuanjun?If it is just for the sake of fighting for the power of Taichang Temple, there is no need to commit murder.
