Chapter 42: Gu Yuan

Who reads that the west wind is cool alone, Xiao Xiao Huangye closes the window, and ponders the past and sets up the sun.

was surprised by the wine and slept heavily, and the gambling books were consumed with the fragrance of tea, which was only ordinary at that time-

Nalan Xingde "Huanxi Sand"

Mid-December of the year of Renshen.

Shanghai has completely entered winter, the cold wind is bitter, and the temperature is also falling again and again. Su Qingwan took a light ink-wrapped cyan teapot from the low wooden table, and gently put it on the small stove to warm it, the scenery outside the window was white, and the corners of her mouth contained a smile.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!" Chunsheng shouted loudly and ran in from outside the door, unable to hide his excitement, "Miss, it's snowing outside, the first snow of the year!" Su Qingwan stopped her movements, turned her head and whispered to her, "I don't know how to run slowly, be careful of your injuries." ”

Chunsheng stuck out his tongue and grinned, "It doesn't hurt much, miss." ”

"Then you have to be careful." Su Qingwan picked up the square towel on the table and cleaned her hands, then turned to look at her, "Did you send today's newspaper downstairs?" ”

Chunsheng hesitated and shook his head, "Mother Zhang said that it may be because of the snow, and it will be two hours late." Su Qingwan frowned slightly, "It's only been a few days, and I don't know if the situation in Fujian has stabilized." ”

Chunsheng's expression suddenly brightened, "Miss, I heard Mother Zhang say that the second master has never lost a war. Su Qingwan glanced up at her, and when she saw her extremely confident expression, she couldn't help but laugh at her affection.

The teapot on the table steamed, making a gurgling sound, Su Qingwan turned his head and poured the lid of the pot, and muttered suddenly, "It's just that this time, it's not like I'm going to war." "A few days ago, most of the newspapers were full of news about internal political disputes in East China, and I am afraid that he will have another task this time.

The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and Su Qingwan stood up and looked at the snow scene outside with a slight distraction.

It has been almost two months since she and Chunsheng returned to Gu Yuan, and she is very familiar with the qiē here. Gu Shaoting seems to be very busy, but as long as he is in Shanghai, he always comes to her room every day to sit in the meeting. Zhang's mother also took good care of her, whether it was food and clothing or big or small affairs, she always had to ask her what she thought.

Su Qingwan sighed faintly, but this was what made her feel uneasy.

A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and Haru Sheng walked over and opened the door. Seeing the person standing outside the door, Chunsheng greeted him with a smile, "Mother Zhang." Zhang's mother walked in with a plate of pastries, beckoned to Chunsheng, turned her head and said with a smile, "Miss Qingwan, the cake dumplings just sent by Wufangzhai, try it." ”

Su Qingwan raised her hand to collect her collar and slowly walked over and sat down. Chunsheng had already taken a piece and put it in his mouth, nodding in admiration while eating, "Wufangzhai's pastries really live up to their reputation." ”

Hearing this, Su Qingwan picked up a piece of rose cake and took a bite. The pastry melts in your mouth, sweet and light, and it is indeed good. Zhang's mother leaned over with anticipation in her eyes and asked, "Is it appetizing?" ”

Su Qingwan smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, I'm sorry for your trouble." Mother Zhang smiled happily after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly lowered her head and whispered to Su Qingxuan, "The second master is coming back today." ”

Su Qingwan's heart jumped, but her face was very calm, "Yes." Zhang's mother nodded, her smile seemed to have a deep meaning, "No, this alone has called four times." Saying that, she poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Su Qingwan, and added before getting up, "It's always uneasy for Miss." ”

Su Qingwan slowly chewed the rose cake in her mouth, and the smile on her face was extremely faint.

Zhang's mother stayed for a while and then got up and left, but as soon as she went out, she heard her surprised voice coming through the door, "What are you doing outside the door." Then a slightly panicked voice followed, "I, I, don't do anything." ”

Zhang's mother seemed to be amused by his reaction, and there was a smile in her voice, "Recently, the **** has seen that you have been very idle, and you are running here every day." The man replied smartly, "Oh, Mom Zhang, I didn't come to see your old man's house." Zhang's mother smiled even more happily, "Come on, let's go in." ”

It's just that they didn't intend to listen to the conversation outside the door word for word, so as soon as Qiu Shi entered the door, Chunsheng scolded with a smile, "It's going to be tricky!" Qiu Shi probably came back to his senses, "You girl......"

"What's wrong with me?" Chunsheng continued to laugh. Qiu Shi nodded slightly at Su Qingwan, then walked up to Chunsheng and quickly raised his hand and knocked her on the forehead, "I'm your life-saving benefactor, you haven't said how to thank me yet!" ”

Chunsheng covered his forehead and glanced at him, "It's obvious that Mr. Zhou saved me." Qiu Shi didn't speak, just looked at her and smiled. Chunsheng waited for a long time and didn't see him reply, and when he turned his head to see his eyes, he blushed inexplicably.

Qiu Shi smiled and turned his head to look at Su Qingwan, "Miss Qingwan, can I borrow the spring for a while." Chunsheng's eyes widened suddenly, he glanced at Su Qingwan anxiously and turned his head to stare at Qiu Shi, his tone was a little annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about......

"Go ahead." Su Qingwan raised his eyes to look at Qiu Shi and replied quietly. "Thank you, Miss Qingwan." After Qiu Shi finished speaking, he pulled Chunsheng and went out.

Su Qingwan chuckled and shook his head, what a pair of enemies.

There were still Wufangzhai pastries on the table, but Su Qingwan didn't have much appetite, she got up and walked to the window, raised her hand and opened a window.

The cold air instantly hit the whole body, and from time to time a few snowflakes floated in, Su Qingwan raised his hand and took one in the palm of his hand, the coolness flashed, and the snow had melted. She took a deep breath and felt much clearer. The outside is all white, and the lining of the world is very clean.

It's like Beiping.

She remembered that before she was seven years old, she was very fond of snowy days, and every time it snowed, she and Chunsheng would play until it was close to dinner, and she would always be scolded by her mother when she went back, just thinking about that time, she was very happy to be scolded.

However, after the age of seven, she and Chunsheng rarely went out to play on snowy days, probably only after that, but they realized that snowy days turned out to be so cold.

But now, it doesn't seem to be so cold again.

She was stunned, and someone suddenly draped a piece of clothing on her shoulder, and a hand reached out from behind and gently touched her hands that were placed outside, and then a familiar voice sounded in her ears, "Your hands are so cold, how long have you been standing here?" ”

Su Qingwan didn't turn around, but chewed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "I'm back." ”

"Hmm." Gu Shaoting replied in a low voice, with a hint of a smile in his voice, "I'm back." ”

The snow seemed to be heavier, and the snowflakes kept drifting in through the windows.

"The second master thinks this snow is falling well." Su Qingwan stared at the snowflakes in the sky and asked softly. Gu Shaoting was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "What about you, do you like snow?" ”

Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly, "I like it." ”

Gu Shaoting smiled, raised his hand and pulled his coat closer to Su Qingwan's body.

"Then this snow is considered to be a good fall."
