King’s House Kindergarten

The next day, Shen Yue woke up from the warm bed, lazy not wanting to wake up.

The window was slightly open, and the morning light came in through the window. The morning air was mixed with the light fragrance of the sweet plum blossoms in the garden, which was very pleasant. It seemed that it was also accompanied by the rain dotted on the ground, the sound of ticking... …

Shen Yue was sleepy.

He slowly stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, shading it lightly, and then yawned slightly.

Last night and this morning, Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin took Xiao Wu to watch the sunrise, fearing that they would not be back until later in the morning. It should be around noon before leaving the inn after a rest.

It was rare for her to get any more sleep.

Covered in the quilt, Shen Yue was confused and always felt that something was wrong...

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he suddenly sat up on the bed with his hands up, and sure enough, he heard the sound of tickling rain outside the garden.

It's raining!

Shen Yue leaned over and put on her shoes, then took out the clothes hanging on one side, and paced out the window. The raindrops outside the garden made the eaves crackle. It was because the windows were far apart and there was only a gap left, so the sound Not big.

Shen Yue stepped forward and opened the window slightly, the sound of the rain suddenly grew longer, and Shen Yue saw that the eaves were dripping like pillars of water.

The rain in this garden is not ordinary rain, but heavy rain...

Shen Yue suddenly thought that Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin took Xiao Wu to watch the sunrise. And Xiao Wu was clamoring to ride a horse instead of a carriage. In the end, Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin had to agree to take him to see the sunrise on horseback...

Shen Yue suddenly had a headache.

In such a heavy rain, I am afraid that the three of them will be soaked and soaked, and they will all catch the wind and cold...

Shen Yue frowned slightly.

The drowsiness from earlier also seemed to have gone beyond the clouds, and there was only worry left in my heart.

...

Before and after the time, the clerk of the post house hurried to the garden with an umbrella, "Miss Shen!"

Shen Yue heard the sound and went out of the house. She had asked the staff of the posthouse to pay attention. If Zhuo Yuan and the others came back, come to the garden and let her know.

Right now, the inn clerk is in a hurry, it should be Zhuo Yuan and the others. The clerk in the inn really said, "Miss Shen, you asked the villain to pay attention earlier that King Pingyuan brought the second son and the fifth son back, and they all went back to the garden respectively. Tang goes to a few gardens."

"Excuse me." Shen Yue thanked him.

"Miss Shen is very polite. The little girl has something to do. If she has something to do, she will give an order."

After the inn's clerk left, Shen Yue also took an umbrella from one side, put on her "rain boots", and greeted Cong Qing briefly, and then went outside the garden with the umbrella.

A winter rain and a cold, on the way, Shen Yue couldn't help but tighten her cloak and shivered slightly. Fortunately, the courtyard where she lives is not far from Xiaowu and Zhuoxin's courtyards. When collecting umbrellas, she can still hear Zhongping's mother and Xiaowu talking in the outer compartment.

"Mother Ping, Tian Tian?" When Shen Yue knocked on the door again, there was no sound. It should be the time she was talking just now. Mama Ping took Xiao Wu to the ear room to take a bath. In such a heavy rain, if you get caught in the rain, take a hot bath to get rid of the cold.

Shen Yue pushed the door open, and the warmth in the room just dispelled the previous chill.

Shen Yue took off the cloak, hung it on the hanger in the outer compartment, and followed the sound of water to the ear room.

"La la la la la la la la la~" Before reaching the ear room, they heard Xiao Wu's happy voice and hilarious slamming of water, as well as the patiently persuading voice of Ping's mother.

Shen Yue's brows were slightly relieved, and there should be no serious problem if she still has the strength to make such a fuss.

"Xiao Wu, Mother Ping." Shen Yue lifted the curtain and entered the ear room.

"Ayue!" Xiao Wu heard the sound and stood up directly from the tub.

"Five sons, sit down quickly, catch a cold!" Ping's mother's tone became serious.

Xiao Wu hurriedly sat back in the tub and smiled at A Yue.

"Miss Shen." Ping's mother nodded in greeting.

Shen Yue stepped forward and said to Chaoping's mother, "It's raining a bit hard just now. I heard that Tiantian is coming back, so I'll come and take a look."

Shen Yue asked warmly, "Have you seen the sunrise?"

Xiao Wu nodded quickly, "I see! I see!"

Shen Yue smiled and asked again, "Did it rain on the road?"

Xiao Wu grinned and shook his head, "No!"

Still so happy to play in the water in the ear room, Shen Yue thought that some people should not get caught in the rain, and said again, "Are you lucky to avoid this heavy rain? Or did you find a place to shelter from the rain on the way? The place?"

Xiao Wu shook his head, "No, it was Uncle Six who took off his clothes to block the rain. I didn't catch the rain, but Uncle Six was soaked all over..."

Shen Yue was slightly stunned, Zhuo Yuan?

Ping's mother should have just heard Xiao Wu mention it, and sighed, "Oh, it's such a big winter! The lord is still frozen!"

Xu was afraid of the cold since childhood, and Shen Yueyu's eyelashes trembled involuntarily, and it seemed that just listening to what Xiao Wu said, a shudder passed through her body.

Ping's mother asked again, "What about the second son?"

Little Wuhuan Arm, as if angry with Zhuoxin, said angrily, "I don't care about my brother!"

"What's wrong?" Ping's mother was surprised.

Xiao Wu said angrily, "My brother was in trouble with Sixth Uncle. Sixth Uncle originally gave my elder brother to my brother and asked my brother to ride me on a horse, but my brother didn't want it, and also threw Sixth Uncle's elder brother away! After yelling at my brother, my brother was stunned, and the sixth uncle took off his clothes and gave it to us, so that we can cover the rain..."

"This!" Ping's mother finally reacted, "The lord was wearing a thin middle coat and came back in such a heavy rain?"

Shen Yue also looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu made a "hmm" sound.

Ping's mother sighed, "I'm afraid this is going to catch the wind and cold..."

Shen Yue's eyes sank.

...

Coming out of the outer compartment, Shen Yue's mind was filled with Xiao Wu's words earlier.

Then I remembered that when I was pacing side by side with Zhuo Yuan last night, Zhuo Yuan suddenly told her that she stepped on his shadow...

At that time, she thought that Zhuo Yuan was afraid of tabooing these things, but it was raining so hard today that it rained all the way back to the inn.

It's a bit unlucky indeed.

Shen Yue sighed in her heart.

Just after Xiao Wu ran out of the hot bath, Ping's mother forced her to cover her in the bed for a while. When she was there, Xiao Wu was crazy. She excused herself for something, but Xiao Wu quietly listened to Ping's mother. Shen Yue closed the door of the outer compartment and turned back from the corridor with an umbrella.

When passing the warm pavilion on the side, I happened to hear Zhuo Xin's sneeze.

Shen Yue remembered how Xiao Wu was angry just now, Zhuo Yuan actually cared about Zhuo Xin not having to be Xiao Wu Shao, so he would rather get in the rain and take off his clothes one by one for the two brothers, Zhuo Xin probably didn't listen at first. Zhuo Yuan, a little bit cold, sneeze roar is a light cough.

It is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework, Shen Yue sighed in her heart, and returned to the garden with an umbrella.

The raindrops at this time are already much smaller than before, and they hit the umbrella lightly and splashed onto the ground again. They don't pop out of the whirlpool like before. It should be raining and sunny soon...

Shen Yue was just walking to the entrance of the garden, and saw another clerk from the inn to greet her, "Miss Shen!"

It should have been waiting for her.

"Is something wrong?" Shen Yue apologized for waiting outside the garden despite the heavy rain.

The little official cupped his hands and said, "Miss Shen, Lord Weng and Mrs. Mu are going to take a few young masters and young ladies to leave the post house and enter the capital, just as the rain has stopped slowly, the carriages and horses are preparing at the gate, I am afraid that they will be leaving soon. Mrs. Mu asked The little one came to look for Miss Shen and said that before leaving, several young masters and young ladies in the mansion wanted to say goodbye to Miss Shen."

Shen Yue also remembered that Mrs. Mu said yesterday that she would leave the inn this morning, which should have been delayed by a heavy rain earlier.

The garden where Shen Yue settled down was not far from the gate of the post house.

When the inn clerk led Shen Yue to the gate, Mrs. Mu was greeting several children to get on the carriage.

"Lord Weng." Shen Yue stepped forward and blessed Weng Yun.

"Ayue, long time no see." Weng Yunwen said softly.

Mrs. Mu saw Shen Yue yesterday, and she also talked to Shen Yue for a long time. Weng Yun was with Zhuo Yuan, and now, she has time to chat with Shen Yue. Long time no see, goodbye Weng Yun is still affectionate. During the speech, several children also gathered around when they saw Shen Yue, "Ayue, we are going to Beijing!"

"You have to come back to Beijing earlier!"

"Ayue! We agreed to fly kites together, don't forget!"

Shen Yue made a light "um" in turn, followed by Tong Tong, Xiao Ke, or hugged each other to say goodbye, "Good luck! See you in Beijing!"

"Take care of yourself, see you in Beijing." Mrs. Mu also said goodbye to her.

Shen Yue smiled.

Out of the gate, Weng Yun personally held an umbrella for his wife, the driver put pedals, and Weng Yun helped Mrs. Mu into the carriage. The carriage drove far away, and Shen Yue was still waving at the carriage, and also saw Tongtong, Xiao Kehe or or waving with her by the window, until the carriage disappeared at the end of the alley.

Mrs. Mu said softly, "Okay."

Tong Tong just put down the curtain and went to play with Xiao Ke, or the three of them.

Mrs. Mu sighed, "I didn't expect to meet King Pingyuan here. I heard that a loyal family of Pingyuan's mansion died in battle. Only King Pingyuan was left, who was the backbone of the country. Nine feet tall, burly and mighty man..."

Weng Yun replied, "There is too much filth in the imperial court today, and it is rare for the Pingyuan palace to have no conspiracy. The Pingyuan palace is loyal and fierce, and all of them died in battle. Today's Pingyuan Palace's status in the court. But this kind of status comes quickly and quickly. Today, everyone in the court respects Pingyuan Palace. The people who are really afraid are not the dead fathers of Pingyuan Palace, but Pingyuan Palace. King. Although King Pingyuan is the weakest year, he should not be underestimated. He knows the affairs of the court better than anyone else..."

Mrs. Mu wondered, "I didn't hear that your lord befriended King Pingyuan earlier?"

Weng Yun smiled and said, "As a gentleman, he and I both need to avoid suspicion. King Pingyuan is very smart, and he will not let anyone handle anything and everything related to His Royal Highness. He can keep silent in Beijing. But once the squeak is heard, there will be no turning back when the construction starts, and it is not yet time..."

Mrs. Mu seemed to understand, but when she saw Weng Yun lowered her eyes, she didn't ask any more questions.

***

In the back room, Zhuo Yuan undressed and entered the bathtub.

The warm steam stained the skin, and the warmth penetrated into the limbs and bones along the skin, dispelling the previous chill.

He has been in the army for a long time, and there are many stab wounds and arrow wounds on his back, and many are killed in the battlefield, crawling out of the dead...

Today's Pingyuan Palace is not as good as when my father and brother were there earlier, and now the whole family can rely on him, only he...

He will also shelter them from the wind and rain.

It's okay for him to get some rain, but Zhuo Xin and Xiao Wu are no better than him.

It's just that he hates rain, especially torrential rain.

As soon as he closed his eyes, it was the blood on the battlefield earlier, which washed the entire battlefield into blood. The fifth brother stood in front of him with a knife and shouted at him, "Go! The Zhuo family will always keep one! How many children to take care of!"

It was a long time ago, but it is still vivid in my memory and will never be forgotten.

No matter the second brother or the fifth brother, they are all to protect him.

He also wants to protect Zhuo Xin and Xiao Wu...

Do your best to save everyone in your family.

Zhuo Yuan raised his head and leaned on the tub, his eyes staring blankly in the air...

He didn't want to watch the sunrise last night, and was thinking about how to shirk, but Zhuo Xin suddenly responded, and he went.

Zhuo Yuan was stunned, all the excuses he had thought of earlier were swallowed in his throat, and he did not mention it again.

Xiao Wu insisted on riding a horse, so he did not take a carriage. He rode Xiao Wu on a horse, and Zhuo Xin rode himself to the river. The river is a little far away. Xiao Wu was chatting at first, and then fell asleep in his arms, but he still hugged him when he fell asleep, reminding him that when he was a child, he also leaned on his second brother like this...

When Xiao Wu woke up by the riverside, Zhuo Xin was afraid that he would be cold, so he hugged Xiao Wu in his arms, pulled the cloak on his body and wrapped Xiao Wu and himself together.

Xiao Wu came out with only one neck left and looked around. The three of them couldn't help laughing. Although Zhuo Xin was still awkward with him, in his memory, since the second brother's accident, it was Zhuo Xin who was with him, one of the few. when laughing.

Even though this smile was directed at Xiao Wu, it made him feel precious.

There was still some time before the sunrise, Xiao Wu was a little tired, and fell asleep in Zhuo Xin's arms.

Zhuo Yuan said to Zhuo Xin, "There's still some time before the sunrise, take Xiao Wu to sleep for a while, I'll watch."

Zhuo Xin did not answer.

After a while, the two brothers fell asleep leaning against the tree.

Zhuo Yuan watched from a distance and remembered that when his second brother was still there, he also suddenly rose up like this, and took him and Zhuo Xin to the suburbs of Beijing to watch the sunrise. He was the same age as Zhuo Xin at that time, and Zhuo Xin was the same kid The five were the same age, and they all huddled around the second brother, listening to the second brother telling stories about the army.

Talking and laughing, as if the dawn will arrive before you know it.

When the second brother was still there, it seemed that everything was fine, he was still the little six in the family, the little six who was taken care of by everyone...

After a while, Zhuo Yuan stepped forward in a soft voice, took off the big coat on his body, and covered the two of them.

Both of them slept soundly, leaning their heads against their heads, and looking like they were hanging like images, Zhuo Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth, and took advantage of Gai Dahui's opportunity to gently embrace Yong Zhuo Xin.

It's been six years, Zhuo Yuan's eyes were a little red, and he said in an inaudible voice, "Xiaoxin, Sixth Uncle I'm sorry for you... You don't have to forgive Sixth Uncle, as long as you and Xiaowu are well, in Sixth Uncle In my heart, it's more important than anything..."

Zhuo Yuan choked in his throat and did not continue.

...

At dawn, Zhuo Yuan woke Zhuo Xin and Xiao Wu, "Sunrise."

"Sunrise?" Xiao Wu, who was in a daze, asked while rubbing his eyes.

Zhuo Xin was stunned.

The whole sunrise is actually not slow.

At first, the sky was shimmering, and soon, a red sun rose from the riverside, like time, it would not stop at a certain moment, nor would it flow backward to an earlier time, it would only move forward, indicating With the recovery of all things, a new day begins...

Week by week.

The whole process was magnificent, but Xiao Wu didn't see enough. Zhuo Yuan carried Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu rode on his shoulders, and Zhuo Xin stood behind him, which made him feel very much like the earlier time, and he was willing to give more time. time to stay...

Zhuo Yuan closed his eyes.

It's just time, it never stops for anyone.

***

After a long lunch, the babies all got into the carriage and continued towards the blue city.

Originally set out in the morning, you can go to the Blue City around dusk.

After an afternoon, Zhuo Ye said that he would settle in the village between Huicheng and Lancheng, Wu Village.

It should be a little cold in the morning, Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Ye did not stay in the carriage, Cong Qing and Shen Yue took care of the children in the carriage.

Although it was a winter camp, there was a lot of time on the road, and Shen Yue made arrangements every day.

These arrangements are also systematic.

For example, yesterday was making handmade lanterns, and today is making sky lanterns.

They are all manual classes, and the ability to exercise the children is mostly the same. It is another form of repetitive training and work.

"What is a sky lantern?" Tao Tao asked first.

Shen Yue opened a picture. The picture on the picture was what the sky lantern looked like. In fact, it was the Kongming lantern, but it was called the sky lantern here.

"This is the sky lantern. We will light a candle in the sky lantern, rely on the candle to burn, and send the sky lantern into the air." About the principle, Shen Yue said very little, just picked children who were interested, and now The part you need to know, "People are used to writing prayers on sky lanterns. It is said that the higher you fly, the easier your wishes will be fulfilled~"

"Wow~" Under the leadership of Xiao Wu, it seemed that there was always some coaxing.

Shen Yue said with a smile, "Babys, we are going to try to make sky lanterns together today..."

Xiao Qi raised her hand, "Can everyone make a wish?"

Shen Yue replied, "The sky lantern has four sides, and it happens that we have Tiantian, Xiaoqi, Taotao and Suisui. Everyone can think about their wishes first, and later, when the sky lantern is ready, Ayue will help everyone to make their wishes. Write it down."

"Wow~" Tao Tao smiled while holding her cheeks, her eyes filled with water vapor.

Suisui also asked, "Will the sky lantern fly to the moon?"

Shen Yue smiled, "We can try."

Xiao Wu also raised his hand, "Will it burn the moon?"

Shen Yue endured, "I've never heard of it."

Taotao also stretched out her hand, "Ayue Ayue, our wish... written down, can it be fulfilled?"

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Babys, we can leave all our questions tonight to find the answers by ourselves. When our sky lanterns are ready, we will put them on tonight."

"Okay!" came the cheerful and loud laughter in the carriage.

***

Zhuo Yuan rode back and looked around, and when he turned back, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and coughed twice.

Zhuo Ye gloated on the side.

It's rare, someone can catch a cold!

Zhuo Ye couldn't control the joy in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw Zhuo Yuan staring at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Zhuo Ye quickly put away his happy expression.

Zhuo Yuan said solemnly, "Ancheng is between Wu Village and Lancheng. I will go to Ancheng tonight to see the teacher and come back tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Zhuo Ye asked, "If Miss Shen or Miss Young Master asked, what would you say?"

"It's just that I have caught the cold and have to sleep for one night. Anyone who wants to see me will stop in the morning. The less people know about my meeting with the teacher, the better." After Zhuo Yuan asked, Zhuo Ye suddenly understood. , Wang Ye should have planned early in the morning to settle in Wu Village in the middle of the way to hide his eyes.

"Don't you tell the second son?" Zhuo Ye asked.

Zhuo Yuan's eyes sank, "If he asks, you can tell him the truth. You don't have to hide it from him."

"Yes." Zhuo Ye responded.

***

As dusk is approaching, in the carriage, the baby lanterns are almost ready.

Cong Qing was holding the sky lantern, everyone said their wishes in turn, Shen Yue took a pen and wrote on all sides of the sky lantern.

The first is Suisui's.

"I hope my parents are safe and come back to pick me up soon." Suisui said concisely.

"It will be safe." Shen Yue smiled, and the delicate handwriting was left on the side of the sky lantern, and Suisui also smiled.

"Xiao Qi." Shen Yue called again.

Xiao Qi said shyly, "I hope the fourth brother can come back sooner, I miss the fourth brother."

Ah Si? Shen Yue was surprised.

What I heard earlier was that Sijie was pregnant with Xiaoqi, but in Xiaoqi, it was more about the child's commendable kindness.

Shen Yue smiled and wrote it down.

When Xiao Wu o'clock, Xiao Wu frowned, put his hands around his arms, and sighed like a little adult, "I hope my brother and sixth uncle are reconciled."

Shen Yue was slightly stunned, and Xiao Wu continued to sigh, "I think they can often take me to see the sunrise, fly kites, soak in hot springs, everything is fine. As long as they are reconciled, I will not make them angry."

Shen Yue patted his head, "Every day is sensible."

"Humph!" Xiao Wu was annoyed.

Finally, it was Tao Tao's turn, "I want to never grow up."

Green Onion was stunned.

Shen Yue squatted down and asked softly, "Why does Tao Tao want to never grow up?"

When a child asks such a question, be sure to listen carefully, because there may be factors that confuse him/her, she is thinking about this problem seriously, and she is trying to escape this problem by not wanting to grow up.

"Can you tell Ayue?" Shen Yue was persuasive.

Taotao looked at her and hugged her, "Yue said yesterday that she will accompany Taotao until she grows up, then I will never grow up, and Ayue can always be with me."

After Tao Tao finished speaking, Shen Yue's eyes froze slightly.

Childish words.

But also precious.

***

At night, I settled in Wu Village. I heard that Zhuo Yuan was not very comfortable, so he stopped when he got to Wu Village.

The sky lanterns are going to be released tonight. The children are very excited and hope that Zhuo Yuan and Zhuo Xin are both there.

Shen Yue asked Cong Qing to invite the two of them when Zhang Luo was setting the sky lantern.

Zhuo Xin came, and after resting for a long time, he still coughed and sneezed slightly, but Zhuo Ye said, the prince has rested...

Zhuo Xin looked at him, but Zhuo Ye avoided his gaze.

"Would you like to find a doctor?" Shen Yue asked.

Zhuo Ye replied, "No need, it's fine for the lord to take a night's rest."

Zhuo Xin was almost certain that the sixth uncle should not be in Wu Village anymore. He couldn't do it, but it didn't mean that he didn't know about these matters in the court. Uncle Six wants to hide from the public, pretending to be sick is the way out.

"Then let's not wait any longer, let's start the sky lantern." Shen Yue greeted, and the babies cheered.

Zhuo Ye helped carry the sky lantern.

Zhuo Xin lights candles.

Shen Yue and Cong Qing took their children to watch the candles lit, then the sky lantern swelled up as if it was inflated, and then slowly rose again, and then Zhuo Ye let go a little, and the sky lantern was stable over the village. float up.

"Wow~" The children's eyes are full of longing, hope and yearning.

Zhuo Ye told the dark guard on one side to make people stare and be careful of fire.

The Dark Guard responded.

Shen Yue squatted down and looked up at the sky lantern rising in midair with the babies, "Baby, let's guess, whose wish will come true first?"
