Chapter 235: New Top Scholar (3)

"It was too hot the past two days, so I really didn't want to go out," Ban Hua walked side by side with him, and walked along the corridor to the Jiuqu Lake Bridge. The rainwater hit the umbrella and made a crackling sound.

"Be careful." Rong Xia gently wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and turned the umbrella to her side, "Go this way."

Banhua glanced at him with a smile, then turned to look at the lotus blooming in the lake, "The lotus in the rain seems to have a special flavor."

Hearing this, Rong Xia slowed down and accompanied Ban Hua to admire the flowers slowly.

"It is said that a long time ago, there was a carp spirit in the lotus pond." Rong Xia looked at the carp happily swimming in the water. "She practiced all day, and finally became a human."

"Fall in love with a scholar at last?"

Rong Xia shook her head.

"Later he turned into a fairy and flew away."

Ban Hua: "..."

"You told this story to scare me?" Ban Hua squinted.

Rong Xia laughed and said, "Hua Hua is so smart, you actually figured it out."

"Should I thank you for your compliment?" Ban Hua snorted, and before she had time to say anything else, she saw Rong Xia's foot slip and she was about to fall. Ban Hua hurriedly put his arms around his waist, and brought him back upstairs.

The feeling of being rescued by a beauty is...

A little fragrant, a little soft.

Ban Hua patted Rong Xia's shoulder lightly, reached out to straighten the umbrella, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay," Rong Xia shook her head and smiled, "Thank you, Huahua, it's just that your body is wet from the rain."

Banhua touched his face with the back of his hand, and said happily, "Fortunately, I didn't use makeup when I went out today, otherwise it would be ugly."

"Appearance is just a foreign object, but it's easy to get cold in the rain." Rong Xia didn't dare to let Ban Hua get wet in the rain again, took her hand, and quickened his pace.

After returning to the main courtyard, Rong Xia asked Scary to prepare hot water, and then said to Ban Hua: "I still have some things to deal with in the study. I have never used this room, so don't worry."

After speaking, he was worried that Ban Hua would be embarrassed, so he left in a hurry.

After a while, the hot tub was brought up, and the maid brought clean clothes. The two female guards brought by Ban Hua stood outside the door and guarded the screen, but no one came to disturb them.

After taking a bath, Ban Hua changed into the dress that Rong Xia had prepared, and found that the dress fit unexpectedly. Look at the fabric and style, it seems to be newly made. She was lazily sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, with her hair loosened behind her, and the servant girl wiped her hair.

"Have you ever had a female guest in your Marquis's mansion?" She asked a maidservant.

"Back to the princess, because there is no mistress in the house, Lord Hou has never treated female guests, only some old ladies and old ladies have come."

"He looks like this, but the old ladies like him." Banhua sat up straight, "Someone tell you, Lord Hou, that I have changed my clothes here."

"yes."

When Rong Xia came over, she had already changed into a set of clothes, and it looked like she had also showered. Seeing him come in, Ban Hua waved at him, then pointed to the clothes on his body and said, "Master Rong, where did these clothes come from?"

"A few days ago, I was forced to make it by the embroiderer of the poor mansion," Rong Xia said with a smile, "I thought that when you came to my place, if you accidentally spilled the tea or splashed mud on your body, there would be no replacements. On the contrary, the clothes are not beautiful. So I asked Bifu Xiuniang to make clothes that you can wear, and it seems that the size is quite suitable."

Ban Hua didn't expect Rong Xia to be so careful, so he was taken aback for a moment before saying, "I see."

Banhua's hair was scattered behind her, like the most beautiful black satin, soft and smooth, Rong Xia's eyes fell on her hair, and she quickly moved away, "I made ginger soup for you, drink some .”

"No," Ban Hua frowned, "It's too spicy."

"I asked them to put sugar in the soup, it's not spicy." Knowing that Banhua has a picky mouth, Rong Xia smiled immediately, "I'll drink with you."

Ban Hua turned her head to look at the door, and there was already a maid carrying ginger soup, she sighed: "It's a hot day, what are you doing to drive away the cold?"

Rong Xia didn't speak, but just looked at her with a gentle smile. Her peach-like eyes were full of affection, and Ban Hua couldn't resist, so she could only drink the ginger soup obediently.

As the saying goes, a peony is a ghost even when she dies, and her lustful habit probably cannot be changed.

The sky was getting darker, but the rain outside was not slow at all, as if God poured out the rain accumulated in the past few days.

"Don't go back tonight, I'll have someone go to the Jingting mansion to accuse you," Rong Xia heard the crackling rain outside, and the sound of thunder from time to time, "Don't worry, I will never offend you in the slightest. "

As far as Yu Li was concerned, it was not appropriate for Banhua to stay in the Rong family, but the two of them were about to get married, so as long as the two families didn't care too much, it wouldn't be a big problem to stay overnight in a proper manner. Compared with those noble girls and sons who raised beauties for fun in the mansion, Ban Hua and Rong Xia were as fresh as lotus flowers.

Ban Hua finally agreed.

When the meal was finished, Rong Xia suddenly said: "I heard that you gave Chen Heyang a gift a few days ago?"

Chen Heyang?

Ban Hua was stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was the unlucky Chen Zhuangyuan. So he nodded and said, "Well, I asked someone to bring some things for him. Although this person is not as good as you, he is more likable than those pedantic and sour scholars."

Rong Xia smiled and didn't mention it again.

He has seen that Chen Heyang, although he can barely be called outstanding, but with Huahua's eyes, he naturally doesn't like this kind of beauty.

Banhua slept a little restlessly at night, probably because of the loud thunder and rain. Although it was extremely cool tonight, after she woke up in the middle of the night, she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but she faintly heard the sound of things breaking from the yard where Rong Xia lived next door. She sat up from the bed, hesitated for a moment, then put on her robe and went out.

"Princess?" The two female guards who were sleeping outside heard the movement from the inner room, and hurriedly sat up from the couch, and were shocked to see the princess coming out of the inner room with disheveled hair, "Princess, you What's wrong?"

"I heard movement in the yard next door, did you hear that?"

"I waited and heard nothing."

Tonight, it was windy, rainy and thunderous, and it was difficult to hear the movement in the yard next door.

Ban Hua frowned, "Follow me to have a look."

"Yes." The two female guards would not ask Ban Hua why she was going, but followed her out the door respectfully.
