Chapter 138
The rain water gathered into a trickle along the roof ridge, flowed to the last tile on the outside, and poured down.
Yin Hui woke up to the familiar sound of rain, felt the dampness spreading into the tent, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ruo also woke up and looked over when he heard the voice.
Yin Hui propped herself up on the bed and sat up straight, looking outside the gauze tent and said, "It's still raining. It's been raining for almost a month, and it won't stop."
The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed beautiful, but she really can't stand the continuous rain. She would rather have a few heavy rains than not see the sun for a whole month.
Wei Ruo went out every day and looked forward to sunny days more than she did.
Yin Hui gently pushed his arm and said, "I heard that Father is planning to move the capital?"
She didn't dare to ask him about these things in her previous life, but she dared to ask him in this life.
Ji Xianxian and the eldest princess often came to see her, so Wei Ruo was not surprised by her source of information, "Well, the Minister of Works has been ordered to go to Pingcheng to draw a map."
Father wanted to move the capital, and he could list several reasons. For example, the previous emperor had thought of moving the capital, and Pingcheng was one of the options at the time. Pingcheng was an important city in the north, and the court could attack or defend it if it was the capital. Of course, Father also had his own selfish motives. Father's roots were in Pingcheng, and the people of Yan supported him. Unlike Jinling, some people would slander Father from time to time, and he would get angry when he heard it, let alone Father.
Moving the capital was a foregone conclusion. Some ministers advised against it, but my father ignored them and the ministers were helpless.
Yin Hui fully supported her father-in-law's decision and said happily, "That's great. I still like Pingcheng better."
Wei Ruo looked at her smiling face and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. The reconstruction of Pingcheng will take time and effort. It will take at least another seven or eight years."
Yin Hui is only 24 years old this year. Even if she waits another ten years, she will only be in her 30s. She can live in her hometown for the rest of her life. As long as she can go back, ten years of waiting is nothing.
She was in a good mood and didn't mind the unexpected and continuous rain. She got out of bed and washed up.
After breakfast, the father and his two sons set off holding an umbrella.
Ning Jie'er stood under the eaves, watching her father and brothers gradually walk away, feeling very envious.
Because of the rain, Ning'er has been locked up at home for almost a month.
"Mom, I want to go out and play." After playing in the corridor for a while, Ning Jie'er ran back to her mother and said coquettishly.
Yin Hui touched her daughter's head and suggested, "How about we go see our great-grandfather?"
Come to think of it, she hasn't been back to her parents' home for a while.
Ning Jie'er immediately said "Okay", as long as she could go out.
Yin Hui asked the servants to prepare the carriage, and the mother and daughter went to the Jichang Earl's Mansion.
Yin Lang studied hard with his teacher. He would come out and sit for a while before going back. Although he was gifted, other students had studied hard for ten years. If he didn't work hard, how could he compare with those scholars?
