All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao's knotted rope is fixed: "The colorful rope of Xiangpai is woven with silk. Hundreds of silks as thin as hair are twisted together to form a thin thread, and then five identical thin threads are used to weave into a colorful rope. , tough and not easy to break, you only need to replace the colored rope every year and a half.”

Yin Huaixi carefully put the incense card into the lapel of his clothes. The incense card was close to the skin of his chest. It was light and had a little texture, as if it had a calming power.

The pouring rain fell for about half an hour and finally stopped.

The soaked outer robe was finally dried. Yin Huaixi quickly dressed up and rolled up the wind-proof bamboo curtains around the pavilion.

The dark clouds had dispersed, and wisps of brilliant skylight leaked out from the thick clouds. Suddenly the sky broke, and the sun shone through, and the world became clear, as if it had been baptized.

The air after the rain was particularly fresh. Yu Youyao stood at the railing and looked at the mountains in the distance. Surrounded by smoke and water, it was like a fairyland on earth.

Above the fairyland, seven colors of brilliance are hidden.

Gradually, the faint seven-color light became clearer and clearer. Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "Brother Nineteen, Brother Nineteen, look, that's a rainbow. It's really beautiful!" She blinked. He looked at the rainbow shadow among the mountains without blinking and was amazed: ""Mengxi Bi Tan" records that Sun Yanxian, a Jinshi who was proficient in astronomy and calendar in the Tang Dynasty, once said that the rainbow is the shadow of the sun and the sun, and the sunshine and rain are the shadows. Yes, it is indeed so.”

"Rainbow" is commonly known as "dragon absorbs water" among the people. It is believed that the rainbow will suck up the water in the place, which is unlucky. Later, Sun Yanxian demonstrated that the rainbow is a phenomenon after the rain. The shadow of the rainbow gradually appears in the poems of literati. Here, Shen Kuo further demonstrated this statement in "Mengxi Bi Tan".

She has always liked reading miscellaneous books such as travel notes and written talks, which often record many miraculous natural phenomena and stories.

It always makes her yearn for it.

When Yin Huaixi came to her side, the rainbow shadow in the distance was like a rainbow bridge, going from clear to blurry and then to disappearing in just a moment.

Yu Youyao felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but said in disappointment: "It disappeared so quickly. I don't know if I will have a chance to see him again in the future."

Yin Huaixi smiled and said: "I will draw you a painting of "Viewing the Rainbow after the Rain in the Pavilion" later."

"Really?" Yu Youyao was overjoyed. She raised her head and looked at Yin Huaixi longingly: "It's been a long time since you gave me a painting. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, the portrait of Zhong Kui in Yu Garden was painted by my third cousin."

During the Dragon Boat Festival in the past, the portraits of Zhong Kui at home were all painted by Yin Huaixi himself.

Yin Huaixi felt guilty: "During this period, I have been busy outside and have no time to accompany you. Fortunately, the overall situation in the north has been decided. I will spend more time with you in the future."

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up and she curled her lips with a smile: "I have been reading "Tao Zang" recently and plan to learn some Feng Shui miscellaneous knowledge. There are many things I don't understand, so I would like [cousin] to give me some advice."

The miscellaneous science of Feng Shui may seem mysterious, but it has its own set of arguments, which can achieve mutually reinforcing effects when used in perfumery and medicine.

She didn't plan to study it in depth. She only learned some basic things, which was enough for her to benefit from it.

The title "cousin" actually brought back a lot of memories of the close relationship between the two of them in the Yu Mansion in the past when they were called "cousins".

Yin Huaixi smiled deeply: "Since it is my cousin's wish, I will naturally not be dissatisfied with anything I ask for."

After the heavy rain, it was difficult to walk through the mud in the mountains, so Yu Youyao had to regretfully give up her idea of ​​playing with the herbs.

In the late afternoon (13 o'clock), a dragon boat race was going to be held in Taizi River. Yin Huaixi agreed to accompany her to watch it. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Youyao had no choice but to follow Yin Huaixi down the mountain.

The road down the mountain was particularly difficult to walk, the heavy rain soaked the stone path with moss.

Yin Huaixi took her hand and walked a few steps. Seeing that she was staring at her feet, walking cautiously and with difficulty, she simply squatted on the ground and said, "Come up, I will carry you down."

Yu Youyao stood behind him, looking at him squatting on the ground with his shoulders slumped. The bones on his back stretched out naturally, and his solid back looked particularly broad.

People who practice martial arts do not train muscles, only muscles and bones, so the muscles are smooth, solid, and not protruding. The whole body is rugged, steep and slender, with a clear-bone look. It does not appear strong or burly at all, but the skeletal muscles Once stretched, it reveals its majestic side.

Yin Huaixi squatted for a while, but before she could make a move, he turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing!" Yu Youyao blushed and shook her head subconsciously. She quickly stepped forward, lay on his back, and put her arms around his shoulders.

Yin Huaixi's tiger body trembled and suddenly froze.

Her movements were a little big and urgent, and her body suddenly pressed against her back. The weather in Beginning of Summer was already very hot, and both of them were wearing relatively thin clothes. Yin Huaixi could clearly feel it sticking somewhere on her back. That incredible softness, my mind suddenly went blank, I could only feel the incredible softness of the person on my back.

Seeing that his ears were red, Yu Youyao couldn't help but stretched out her finger and touched it lightly. Suddenly, her finger seemed to be burned and she retracted it as if she was electrocuted.

Yin Huaixi felt her movements, his ears couldn't stop twitching, and he said in a low voice: "Well, the weather is a bit hot..."

"Well," it was a good thing he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, Yu Youyao felt that Yin Huaixi's body was like a big stove, which was a bit hot. Climbing on his back, it was indeed a bit hot: "The sun is a bit big. , I also feel a little restless."

It is now noon, after a rain, the sun is shining in the sky, and the temperature is gradually rising.

"Let's go down the mountain quickly." When Yin Huaixi heard her saying that the sun was a bit too strong, he was worried that it would burn her. He ignored her random thoughts and quickly stood up with her on his back, walking slowly down the mountain along the stone path.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate, but Yin Huaixi is like covering the flat ground.

After finally descending the mountain, Chunxiao was already waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain.

After going up the mountain, they, the servants, accompanied Aunt Xu and hung far behind the young lady. Later, the young lady suggested playing with Baicao, and everyone agreed.

The young lady has been detained in the house before, and this is the first time she has played Baicao in a serious way. Everyone wanted the young lady to have a good time, and they did not restrain the young lady specially. They all worked hard to collect flowers, trees and herbs in the mountains, and then separated from the young lady. , because His Highness is accompanying the young lady, he doesn’t have anything to worry about.

Little did he know that the rain was coming as soon as he was told.

They hurried down the mountain and changed into dry clothes, but they never saw the young lady coming down the mountain. They were very worried. If Aunt Xu hadn't stopped them, they would have gone up the mountain in the rain to look for the young lady.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw His Highness carrying the young lady down the mountain. Chunxiao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted him: "Miss, are you okay? It rained hard and fast just now. Did you get wet?"
