238 Ascot

The next day, Yan Qi got up early early to go out for a run as usual, and when he pushed the door after dressing, he was startled: there was a heavy fog outside, so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, and it was black, and when he walked down the steps, there was still some slippery soles under his feet, thinking that it was frost, and it was really winter.

Coming out of Yanfu, the sky is still dark, except for the two big red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the Yanfu gate, there is no light on the whole street, and the huge Taiping City is still sleeping peacefully in the dense fog on the first day of winter, which is so quiet that people are extremely reassured.

Yan Qi ran slowly along the street that he was already familiar with, his steps were light and he stepped on the frost silently. From the small street to the main street, from the main street to the national highway, the wide road, the forest of houses, the towering Shenshan, the quiet and solemn in the fog, like a Chinese painting painted with oil paint, but also with a blurry frosted texture.

Yan Qi gradually accelerated from jogging, faster and lighter, until he ran into a wisp of winter wind, blowing coldly, only the sound of the wind, leaving no trace.

She hadn't run like this since she wore it, and in her previous life, she had been running almost every day in the deep mountains and old forests, and the longest time she ran was for two days and one night without stopping. Yun always said that their work is not done by people, and those who come to do this work are no longer like people in the end.

And she was still running until she died, the cold rain, the muddy road, the lonely forest filled with mist, the red dust was out of reach of her, and only her bow was left by her side, she wanted to run home, run back to the dry and warm home where there was once a master, a senior brother, and her, but in a place close at hand, fell on the piercing heart.

Yan Qi ran fast and was reborn in the next life, she still likes to let go of running like this, because pain and joy can be digested and absorbed in running, or shattered and scattered.

Along Tianzao Street all the way to the direction of the city gate, the sky is never bright, and there are no pedestrians on the road, suddenly I heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, the horsewhip was whipped hard and urgently, and in the blink of an eye, there was a small flag behind the man on horseback, and there were two big words written on the flag: military urgency.

This is a military emergency report, the person who planted this flag can gallop in Taiping City, no one can stop it, and he deserves to be knocked to death if he can't dodge, because nothing is more important than a military emergency.

This military news emergency report at this moment, apart from the Beisai frontier, where else can it come from?

Yan Qi bought soybean milk fritters from outside and came back, although the meals in the mansion were exquisite, but they were never more kind than such home-cooked food, and Yan Xiaojiu could eat three in one breath with sesame oil mixed with small dishes when he took it back.

After eating and going back to the room to bathe, Yan Qi wore the new clothes sent by Mrs. Yan yesterday, embroidered small white plum blossoms with plain silk on the cherry foundation, and coated with mica along the pattern, a piece of crystal light can be shaken out by a light, the cotton in it is light and warm, and it is not clumsy and bloated at all when worn on the body, and there is a milky white cotton skirt underneath, with a few Xiuyi sparse branches embroidered with ink threads, a string of petal-shaped pink crystals hanging from the waist, black hair is curled, and a red gold hairpin embedded with pink quartz into plum petals is inserted, standing in the mist of the sun with a clear spirit, Wu Yue entered the door and saw it from a distance, and Lu Rong smiled: "Old Seven pretends to be tender, look at it!"

"Sister, isn't it okay to be thirteen, your three views are too improper. Yan Qi greeted him.

"Hahaha, which of my three views are not correct, you can talk about it!" After being with Yan Qi for a long time, Wu Yue of course also knew the word "three views".

"From afar, from a close view, from a panoramic view, all are not right. "Yan Qidao.

"Hahahaha! I also have Baiyun Temple, Lotus View and Sanqing Temple!" Wu Yue laughed, "Gossip, take us to play!"

"Let's drink hot tea in my house to drive away the cold in my stomach, and I have to wait for Cui Xiaosi to come. Yan Qi led the two of them inside.

"It's so warm," Wu Yue felt a warm fragrance on her face as soon as she entered the room, "What's the smell?"

Yan Qizhi pointed to the black pottery bottle offered on the case, and there was indeed a tender yellow and bright plum blossom inserted in it.

"Yes, I remember that there are dozens of plum blossoms planted in the corner of your home!" Wu Yue stroked his palm, "I don't grow this at home, but it's so fragrant, I like this smell." ”

"You're welcome, when you leave, you two sisters and sons will carry one tree back. Yan Qi said happily.

Wu Yue laughed: "That little lotus root is a little harder, just eat a few more bowls at noon." ”

"If you have a flute, why use me. Lu Rong also joked, Pinxiao is her little maid, thinner than her.

Pin Xiao laughed with Wu Yue's girls Qingbei and Boiling Rain.

Wu Yue Lu Rong took off the cloak on his body and sat on the kang near the window, took the hot tea poured by Yan Qi and took a big sip, and suddenly felt that all the limbs and bones were filled with hot flow, and the whole body was comfortable.

"What did Wu Wu draw yesterday?" Yan Qi asked Wu Yue.

"Hmph, what else do you say, no matter how I ask him, he won't tell me, I have to announce it to everyone when I go to the academy for training, I'm so anxious that I scratch my liver. Wu Yue pouted.

"I figured that it was the purple sun. "Yan Qidao.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's not that weak, is it?" Wu Yue crooked his mouth and said that he would never accept it.

"Then they can only blame their bad luck. "Yan Qidao.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm talking about our declining ......."

"When the time comes, Xiao Lotus won't go to the scene to see it," Yan Qidao, "It's unbearable to sit outside in the cold." ”

"I have a hand stove and thick cushions, so it's okay. Lu Rong smiled.

"It's definitely going to be very cold this year," Wu Yue looked out the window, but was obscured by the fog on the glass, "My mother is worried that my father's cotton clothes are not thick enough, and I heard that Beisai is even more cold and snowy, and even his ears can be frozen, if there is a war, I am afraid it will be ten times more difficult than usual." ”

"Don't worry, maybe I'll be back soon. Yan Qi remembered the cavalry emergency report in the morning.

The three of them were chatting, and when they heard that the girl was summoned to come in and report that the fourth master of the Cui family was coming, in the courtyard of the ninth master in front, five, six, seven and three got up, each put on a cloak and came out of the house, and went through the house and through the courtyard to the front.

Cui Xi was standing in the middle of the courtyard, his golden red robe turned over a snow-white mink fur collar, a jade belt inlaid with silver wire around his waist, and a white hosta with black hair, the whole person was like a brilliant ruby, bright and bright.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's the first time I've seen a man who can wear such a bright red so unprovoked. Wu Yue whispered to Lu Rong.

"Is it cold? and don't put on a cloak. Yan Qi greeted Cui Xi.

Cui Xi smiled brightly at this: "The charcoal in the carriage was too hot, and it was a little dry, so I threw the cloak on the carriage." ”

"We still have to walk a little way to the back garden, you put on Xiao Jiu first. Yan Qi glanced at the door of Young Master Yan Jiu's room, the goods were still rubbing inside, and he walked out slowly for a while, wearing only an old blue cotton robe, a cloak, and a piece in the crook of his arm, and walked over and gave this to Cui Xi.

Five people with their own girls and little girls came out of the summer residence all the way to the garden, the flowers and trees were all gone, only some pine cold bamboo and cold vines remained, the rockery rocks seemed to be frozen more and more sharp edges and corners, people did not dare to get too close, the moon pavilion on the top of the mountain was empty, and there were two sparrows on the stone table that were thinking about their own sparrows.

The people who love to run to the back garden to hang out are gone, and the whole back garden is very empty, and the sun that has just tried to dispel the cold fog rests lazily for a long time, scattering the thin golden sunlight on the stone-filled road.

"That's good. Wu Yue likes a cold and sunny winter, even though she is "May".

"Look, a touch of gold. Lu Lotus pointed to the plum blossom forest in the distance, and the yellow flowers bloomed into Venus ten thousand points.

"It's so fragrant!" Wu Yue snorted deeply and squinted his eyes in intoxication.

"We've got a mouthful. "Yan Qidao.

What does ...... have to do with eating?

Several people quickened their pace, and saw a small Qingshe in the depths of Lamerin, with the words "Su Xuelu" written in light gold letters on the black plaque.

"Why are you called Su Xuelu?" Wu Yue asked curiously.

"It was originally called 'Crisp Snow Lu'," Yan Qi explained, "Later, some people said that they always wanted to eat when they saw the word 'Crisp Snow', so they changed it to this 'Su', but in fact, Su also means crisp." ”

Everyone looked at her: "Someone" said, "That person is you, don't think we don't know."

Pushing the door in, Wu Yue said "yes" first With a sound, I saw that the wooden windows and wooden doors and wooden floors in this Su Xuelu, one side facing the plum forest is a large glass window, and the other three walls are all papier-mΓ’chΓ© screen doors, the ink branches and powder petals on the paper are painted with plum blossoms with large branches, and the warm earth dragon is burned under the wooden floor, and there is a thick and soft feast on it, and there are a few low tables on the mat, and a few black stoneware tea sets are set on the table, and the four treasures of the room are complete on the long strips against the wall, and there is a piano under the silk handkerchief, and even a tube of jasper is set up next to it.

"Oh my God...... This place is so nice!" Wu Yue couldn't wait to throw off his shoes and set foot on the feast, took off his cloak and threw it aside, happily turning around several times.

"It's really good," Lu Rong also likes it very much, "The paper paintings on these three walls are plum blossoms, which are quite a bit of plum blossom paper tents." ”

"Isn't it," Yan Qi took off his shoes and untied his cloak and stepped up, "My uncle originally said that a bed should be set up here, and the top and surrounding it should be surrounded by plum blossom paper tents, but then he felt that it was too stingy, so he simply turned all the walls into paper screens." ”

"It's still so good, broad and bright!" Wu Yue had already sat down on the mat.

Two little girls who were on errands here came over with a red peat stove from the next room, and lit it on the floor of the house, and put a teapot on it, and boiled water to make tea.

Wu Yue's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the little girl filled the furnace door with steel chopsticks was quite strange, and hurriedly asked her: "What kind of charcoal is this? Why is it so weird, all like peach pits?"

"Back to the girl's words," the girl hurriedly said, "This is olive kernel charcoal, the eldest lord sent it over yesterday, and instructed the seventh girl to use this fire to make tea when she was entertaining guests today, the eldest lord said, with this fire is not only smokeless, but also fragrant, the fragrance dissolves into the water, and it can be burned out with a faint olive fragrance, aquatic fragrance, mellow taste, soft and smooth rice balls, its taste is around the tongue, even if it is not boiled tea, only drink the white water burned out of this charcoal is also quite delicious. ”

"Oh, I want to drink it when I hear it, don't make tea yet, I want to drink white water!" Wu Yue looked at it curiously and excitedly for a long time.

"Uncle Yan is really a gentleman. Lu Rong sighed.

yes, he's still a snake spirit.

The kung fu of boiling tea, a few people have already sat on the mat at will, and the earth dragon below has been burning all night, and the entire Su Xuelu will be baked thoroughly, and the room is as warm as spring, which makes people feel extremely comfortable no matter how they stay.

The little girl put all kinds of dried fruit snacks and desserts, Wu Yue glanced at it, and glanced at Yan Qi: "At first glance, Uncle Yan asked people to prepare, all of which are your favorite foods!"

"I don't have anything I don't like to eat," Yan Qi pointed to the plate, "Don't you like to eat plum balls and ginger?"

"Okay, okay, you win. Wu Yue picked up a honey-fried carved bayberry and put it in his mouth, and the sweetness and sourness soaked into his heart.

"We can't sit at today's tea party, I think it's better for everyone to compose poems. "Yan Qidao.

"I've beaten you!" Wu Yue waved his hand and pushed Yan Qi with Yangmei in his mouth.

"Then the painting is done," Yan Qi said again, "It's not enough to just appreciate the plum, you have to paint the plum, today is the plum feast, everything has to do with the plum to be a qualified Kyoto citizen." ”

"It's obviously a stove tea party, why is it a plum banquet again, you still have a change for a while?" Wu Yue shouted.

"A woman's heart is constantly changing. Yan Qi spread his hands.

"Cui Si, you come to judge the theory, what point does Yan Laoqi look like a woman?" Wu Yue forced Cui Xi, who had been laughing beside him.

"It's like everything. Cui Xi smiled.

"Hey, I shouldn't have asked you, you'll always have the same nostril as Lao Qi. ”

Cui Xi was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Something related to plum, I'll do the same, I'll give you a freshly carved plum hairpin." ”

"Okay!" Wu Yue was happy, "Then I'll come too, it's related to Mei, right? Then I'll be responsible for eating carved bayberry!"

"Then I'll play a plum blossom three lanes for everyone. Lu Rong pointed to the piano on the case and said funny.

"My little nine paintings plums. "Yan Qidao.

"What about you?" Wu Yue asked.

"Let me tell you about the plum blossom cake method. "Yan Qidao.

So, do you paint and play, do you do handicrafts, eat bayberry, and talk about plum blossom cakes?
