The cold wind hunts, and the six-petaled snowflakes fall from the hazy sky, dyeing the world with pure white and crystalline.

With the Spring Festival approaching, every household is preparing to welcome the New Year, and people who have reduced their travel due to the cold of winter are also wrapped in heavy clothes and go to the streets with their families to buy things for the festival.

In the main village, the chief housekeeper began to purchase as early as the beginning of January: the renovation of the mansion, the replacement of furnishings, the decoration items, the gifts for visits, the purchase of belongings for the chief's family, the purchase of food, and so on...... For the average person, the Spring Festival is a festival to welcome the new year, but for them, it is more than that. No matter which festival, whether it has meaning or not, it is the point of the trading day of the right and the **, although the festival does not have people from other tribes, but it does not mean that those tribes do not know what they are doing.

So, at times like these, it is even more important to be cautious.

January 25, three days before the Spring Festival.

At dawn, when the first morning light is on, snowflakes fall from the sky.

Early in the morning, Atul was called by the butler to help, and when Nia got up to eat, he had already been gone for an hour, and she was suddenly very unaccustomed, probably accustomed to Atul's care.

She went to the butler and asked, "Where is Atul?"

The chief butler paused, said vaguely, "Hehe, this-", and then withdrew.

Niya glanced at the back of the big butler who left in a hurry, hid her surprise, and then went to the hall to eat.

After breakfast, Niya was dressed in white, wearing a white long coat, holding a white paper umbrella, and stood in the courtyard.

The snow is falling, the plum trees planted in the courtyard bloom delicate red plums, bursts of fragrance drift with the wind, from time to time, there is a cold wind blowing, blowing down the plum blossoms, such as red blood stains, splashing snow.

This plum tree is the only one in the tribe. It's still something she managed to feed with great difficulty.

Niya looked at it for a moment, then reached out and caught one of the plum blossoms.

Mu Kaibul, who was walking behind him, just turned around, and saw this scene, and for a while, he was fascinated.

A piece of pure white, it is difficult to hide the plum blossom rouge, the white clothes are fluttering, the appearance is alluring, but at the moment it is peerless, no one can compare.

Niya turned around, raised her hand slightly and raised her umbrella, looked at Bull standing on the stairs, her eyes flashed, and she asked lightly, "Something?"

Bull came back to his senses, and after a while, he said: "It's the Spring Festival, Daddy said let's write the Spring Festival couplets by ourselves, I thought, you are more familiar with these, so I came to you." ”

"Isn't the big butler already buying it?"

Bull smiled, "You are well-informed, and I just learned about it from the chief butler. "After a pause," although I have already bought it, it is also a pleasure to write it myself, not to mention, we don't have this kind of fun at all on weekdays. ”

Niya thought for a moment, "It's fine. She also wanted to try it, and after learning so much, she really didn't use it once.

Bull smiled with satisfaction and held out his hand to Niya who walked in, and Nia handed him the umbrella in her hand and walked silently towards the study.

Behind him, Bull put away his umbrella, hooked the corners of his lips, and followed him.

Inside the study.

Yi Lin stood on the desk, she held Bai Hao, the table was placed on the rice paper, her eyebrows were constricted, and she thought seriously, her eyebrows and eyes were like smoke and mist, so they became more ethereal.

Niya didn't expect that she would be there, even Sogi was there, but after thinking about it, she had already said that she would write it together, and they should all be there.

On the side, Sogi rolled up his sleeves, grinded carefully, looked at the grinding plate, and watched the ink slowly fade away.

As Nia stepped into the study, they both looked up, and Sogi paused, frowning, and his gaze leaped over to Nia, looking at Bull who followed, as if to mean something.

Elim smiled slightly, then dipped her head in ink and began to write.

After a moment, Elion put down her pen, looked at the rice paper, and asked Suoji silently.

Suo Ji turned sideways slightly, looked at it seriously, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Very good, I didn't expect that the talent of the eldest sister is so good." ”

Elim smiled, picked up the word, and handed it to Bull.

Bull read it, said yes, and handed it to Nia.

The snow falls and the plum is fragrant, and the late winter and spring are still early.

It's not so much a couplet as a poem.

Seeing that Niya looked at it for a long time but was silent, Sogi looked dissatisfied, but she was able to regain her peace and said, "Can the second sister not hesitate to write a pair?"

Nia looked at Sogi quietly, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward and weird.

Just as Bull was about to say something, Nia walked behind the desk, and Sogi immediately gave way and made a "please" gesture.

Nia rolled up her sleeves and kept dipping in silence, her expression was calm and deep, and the other three looked at her in unison, with different faces.

After half a pillar of incense, Niya finally made a move, gently stroking the rice paper with her palm, and then grabbed her sleeve and waved her pen and ink.

After writing, she put down her pen, walked to the side and sat down, and looked faintly at the snow outside the door.

"The bright moon is difficult to return for thousands of miles, and the quicksand does not sink into the wind......" Elinn, who was the closest, immediately picked up the rice paper and read it out word by word.

Suo Ji looked at it, his tone was a little admired, and said, "Hehe, the second sister's talent is really good." ”

"Huh?" Bull furrowed his brow, as Sogi's tone was very meaningful.

Bull took the rice paper and looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he looked at Nia and wondered, "A sentence is a good sentence, and a word is a good word, but—"

"But?" said Elim.

"Words are like flowing water, chic and wanton, but they are calm, but why do they have the intention of killing?"

"Kill?" Yi Lin walked over, wrinkled her brows, looked at it for a while, and agreed: "Indeed, if you look at it seriously, every word is like a sharp blade, staring at it for a long time, like a blade cutting your body, murderous...... Overspilled. ”

Suo Ji took the rice paper, and after reading it, he said directly: "Before, Qianchao had the honor to witness the calligraphy of the second sister, beautiful and exquisite, gentle and elegant, when did your words be dyed with murderous intent?" "Isn't it because the second sister is dissatisfied with the invitation of the three of us? If we offend, we are willing to be punished. Suddenly, Mu Sinia didn't respond, and continued: "If the second sister is dissatisfied, just say it, why do you want to spoil my good intentions so much?"

"Brother, you've gone too far. Bull rebuked.

"Big brother, you think too much, I didn't mean that. Niya slowly turned her head and looked at Sogi, "Or in the heart of the eldest brother, my sister thinks like this??"

Sogi was silent, just to see how she reacted and confirmed her guesses.

It seems that it will be much more interesting in the future.

***

Ayula silently listened to the butler's story.

After he finished speaking, Ayula also came back to her senses, seeing him frowning, Ayula didn't care, if it was the former Ayula, he would definitely be troubled and worried about him, but the past is gone.

He didn't like this kind of Arella, cold, so cold that he didn't seem to have anything to do with her.

"So what?" said Ayula very coldly, as if what the butler said had nothing to do with her.

"What you want me to do, I've done. ”

Ah Yue glanced at the big butler and said, "Yes, I owe you a thank you, your Atul saved a lot of trouble for the leader and saved my daughter for me, which is indispensable." Ayula said.

The big butler looked at her silently, as if he didn't know such a Yuela at all.

In the end, he could only sigh: "Ayula, everything I did was for you, if you were like this, I was really tired, really tired." ”

"You're tired—?" Azuela said in a low tone, very sarcastic, "If you had been able to keep the discipline in the first place, it would have been much easier." ”

"Ayuela, don't be like this, you know that the situation at that time does not allow me to refuse, it is not my fault, for so many years, I have been working hard to redeem you. The butler said.

Layuela's face became paler and paler, and the tired look in her eyes became heavier and heavier.

"If you don't agree, how can he bear with you? Just as Niya doesn't agree, who can bear her? Atul is much more manly than you. Azula sneered.

"Ayuela, that qiē was caused by the leader, why did it become my fault?" The big butler said, with indescribable sadness and helplessness in his voice.

Ayula was silent, revealing a very shallow and very common smile, but such a common smile made his heart even more uneasy.

"Okay, you can leave, I really want to rest. Ayula drooped her eyes, unable to hide her tiredness.

Silence spreads.

After a long while, the chief butler said dejectedly, "Okay, I'll go first." ”

"Let's go. Ayula was also silent for a while before speaking.

"Gone. "Whispering words, but with an order that cannot be disobeyed.

The butler walked slowly towards the door, and when he stepped out of the door, he paused, looked back at Ayula, and sighed.

After a long silence, they both knew each other's existence, but they were all pretending to be deaf and dumb.

After the big butler left, Ayula closed her eyes in pain, and a tear slowly fell.

And in a certain corner, there is a person who slightly hooks the corners of his lips and smiles deeply, which makes people chill.

Soon, the relationship between the big butler and Arzula was exposed by the man.

A storm, I don't know the blessings and misfortunes, no one would have thought that the calm would be broken so quickly!

After the matter between the chief butler and Ayuela was exposed, everything was just like a storm, and everything was left with a fiasco.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad, but in the end, it can't change their fate.

The leader of the Dongba tribe is a suspicious person, as long as there is a little doubt, he will not let it go, and now, there is all the human and material evidence, and there is no room for refuge.

Compared to the big butler, Ayula can be said to be calm, even when the leader of Dongba questioned her, she was so calm.

"I, there's nothing to say. Azuela said.

"Don't you really want to argue?" The leader was more heartbroken about Ayula's calm, and he preferred her to explain a word and a half.

"Since years of affection can't win the trust of the leader, why should Ayula bother. Ayula's words caused the leader to fall into deep guilt.

The chief looked at her deeply, this woman was always graceful and hurtful.

Maybe...... Maybe...... The leader's heart was shaken with many answers.

"I will never allow anyone to damage my wife's reputation, and the chief butler will withhold and interrogate her. The chief said.

Ah Yuela lightly pulled a cold smile, the leader deserved to be the leader, on the surface believed that she was actually testing her, if she had something to do with the big butler, she would definitely think of saving the big butler, if she had any action, it would be obvious that there was no need to ask again.

"Madame, rest first. The leader said, just as he was about to leave.

"The leader doesn't have to be like this, Ayula has always had the leader in her heart. Ayula said that this was what the leader had wanted to hear for many years, and that even though she knew in her heart that her heart was gradually approaching him, she never showed it, and her cold gentleness made the leader want to control her all the time, but she didn't know that this possessiveness had long since evolved into a pet.

The leader approached Ayula, shook her arms heavily, looked at her, and said seriously, "Do you know that you are my favorite woman, and that getting you is what I want to do most in my life." ”

There was a hint of grief in Ayuela's cold eyes, and she said, "Didn't the leader get it a long time ago?"

"I know you resent me, but that's because you are truly favored that you want to get you, I want you to be the most noble woman, your beauty and moon should not be ordinary life. The chief said.

Tears gradually welled up in Ayula's eyes, at this time, she was actually a little grateful to this man she had resented for more than ten years, after all, it was indeed he who made her noble all her life.

"Sue me," said the chief, looking deeply at Ayula, "were you once his woman?"

Ayula's tears slid down, in the face of this man who had been favored all her life, she didn't want to deceive or tell the truth, she chose to be silent, but her silence at the moment was enough to break the leader's heart.

The leader closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the incomparable pain in his heart stretching infinitely through his body.

In a moment, the leader slammed Ayula away and strode away.

Arzula fell to the ground and sat quietly on the ground with tears streaming down her face.
