The morning air was foggy, and the morning in the middle of winter in Peking was always so unclear.

From time to time, the laughter of the maids in various yards meeting and greeting each other in the morning floated outside the window, and on such a cold day, those young ladies and wives were afraid that they were still sleeping under the covers.

She heard Chunsheng laughing loudly in the courtyard, as if she had heard some terrible joke.

Chunsheng is two years younger than her, and his birthday is three days later than her, so he should be nine years old after the New Year.

Su Qingwan sat by the window, wearing a woolen blanket on her body, holding the stove that Chunsheng stuffed for her in her arms, and only felt that the ventilation was very comfortable.

There was also a pot of hot tea boiling on the table next to her, and there was an elegant fragrance filling the tip of her nose, and she lowered her head and stared intently at the jade pendant in her hand, rubbing it with her fingertips from time to time, and she fell into a trance.

The jade pendant is clear and round white, with a delicate and delicate hollow pattern, and a maple character of Han Li is engraved on the back of the case.

That's the second brother's name.

She remembers the first time they met when she was seven years old.

That year, she went with her father to pay homage to her grandfather, and she didn't know any of the young masters and young ladies of the main family, and they laughed and played with her very lively, although she didn't refuse, she was not very happy.

She always liked to be quieter, so she found an excuse to sneak out halfway.

In her memory, the courtyard of the main house was huge, and the eaves of the corridor that she traveled to the left and right that day were covered with festive red silk.

Dad said that grandpa is already in the year of mackerel, so this birthday is more grand.

She didn't know that she didn't know that she didn't know anything about her position, and it wasn't until she went more and more remote that she realized that something was wrong.

After standing in place for a long time without seeing anyone appear, she looked up at the slowly lowering sunset in the west, and finally became a little anxious.

When he was helpless, a smiling voice came from behind.

"Yo, whose little girl is this, why did she come to my yard?"

She turned around and saw a young man with bright eyes standing across from her, smiling at her.

That late autumn evening, the warm light fell on him, making his whole person a little unreal, and she was in a trance for a moment.

Then he led her to her father, and before leaving, he gave her a confirmed look.

"It turns out that you are the girl of the third uncle's family. ”

She bowed her head and whispered thanks.

"Thank you, Young Master Jinfeng. ”

On the way with him, she heard people call him like this.

He rubbed her head angrily.

"You girl is really interesting, you are the daughter of the third uncle and my cousin, so naturally you call me the second brother. ”

She couldn't help but laugh at him, so she shouted crisply, "Second brother!"

After that, when her father went to the master's house to discuss business, he would take her with him, and she and her second brother became familiar with each other.

Although the second brother is only five years older than her, he is proficient in many things.

He taught her to read, paint, recite poetry, and write.

She loves nothing more than to watch him write.

The font of the second brother belongs to Han Li, and it looks elegant and delicate on the paper, which is very good-looking.

She has been influenced by him in the past few years, but she has also practiced good handwriting, but the font charm is like him in seven points. This made it easier for her to sometimes help him transcribe the ledger, but no one even found out.

There was a "flutter" sound, the hot tea on the table boiled and lifted the lid of the pot, Su Qingwan lifted the pot and brewed half of it into the cup, blew it lightly and then put it down. She used her fingertips to smooth the tassel of the jade pendant, which was specially customized for him by the grandfather of the main family on the second brother's fifteenth birthday last year.

He gave it to her in a blink of an eye, saying that this was a girl's object that was more suitable for her.

Su Qingwan put the jade pendant in the palm of her hand and turned her head to look out the window. The winter snow has not melted, and I only feel that my heart and lungs are cold.

She remembered the way her second brother held her hand in the lobby two days ago.

"I'm going to take Qingwan away. ”

She didn't have a glimmer of expectation in her heart.

So when the second aunt's hateful eyes shot at her, she didn't avoid it as usual.

"Young Master Jinfeng, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

She heard the sound and glanced at the person who spoke, but it was the eldest young master Su Junsheng.

The second wife took the opportunity to help.

"Yes, second young master, you also know, our master has been in bad health recently, the master's favorite child is her, if she leaves, what if the master's condition changes again, then Qingwan She is still young, and she has always been afraid of life, and it is not as good as being in her own home."

Her heart cooled little by little with the words of the second aunt, and she naturally couldn't let go of her father, but the second aunt said such things, but she planned to completely draw a line with the main family.

The Su family has been currying favor with her backers for so many years, and she actually said that she would throw it away?

The second wife's words, Jin Feng was a little incomprehensible. ”

The second brother held her hand tightly, and she knew that he was angry.

She suppressed the sourness in her heart, looked up and gently shook his hand.

"The second aunt is right, second brother. Dad's current illness is good and bad, I really can't rest assured, it's better to wait for me to grow up and then go to Shanghai to find you. ”

She smiled a little reluctantly after all, and was afraid that he would pretend to be naughty when he saw the flaw.

"Don't deny me then. ”

He frowned at her, with distress and faint helplessness in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about, how can I disown you. ”

A gust of cold wind suddenly poured in from the door, breaking the warmth of the room, Su Qingwan subconsciously clenched the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it intently.

But it's Chunsheng.

"Miss!"

Chunsheng's eyes were shining and he ran over.

"It's snowing outside!"

Su Qingwan smiled and took the jade pendant into his arms without a trace.

"I'm tired of sitting, Chunsheng, let's go see the snow. ”

The snow seemed to have just begun to fall, and it was not big, but it was slowly drifting in the wind. Su Qingwan tightened the cloak on her shoulders and looked into the distance.

"Chunsheng, I want to go out. ”

Chunsheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at her and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, only nodded slightly.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and Chunsheng reached out and stopped a rickshaw.

"Master, go to Zhengyangmen East Station. ”

"Okay, Miss, sit tight!"

There are many food stalls on both sides of the street along the way, and the coachman seems to have a good relationship with the stall owner, greeting them one by one.

She and Chunsheng had their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything all the way.

It won't be long before it arrives.

There was a bustling crowd at the entrance of the station, and vendors hurriedly shouted and scurried left and right.

The snow was still drifting slowly, and she and Chunsheng walked for a while before they could enter the platform, and then they heard a long series of whistles coming from the ground in front of them. Su Qingwan stopped and looked at the train not far in front of him slowly moving from slow to fast.

Or the future.

She stood there for a long time, until Chunsheng's voice sounded behind her with a little regret.

"Fourth Miss, the second young master has spoken, what a great opportunity, why don't you want to go with him?"

Su Qingwan looked straight ahead and smiled indifferently, but his voice was scattered in the wind and was almost inaudible.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't"

"Fourth Miss!"

There was a shout from behind, and Chunsheng turned his head to see a familiar figure staggering over in the distance.

"Miss, it's the housekeeper. ”

Su Qingwan didn't turn around, her eyes were still staring in the direction just now without saying a word.

In less than a moment, the butler had run to him.

"Miss Four, Master Him"

His face was urgent, he couldn't catch his breath, and his words were intermittent.

Chunsheng had already screamed when he heard these two words.

"Master?!What's wrong with the master!"

Su Qingwan was suddenly startled when she heard Chunsheng's voice, only to feel that her chest trembled suddenly, and she turned around sharply and grabbed the butler's arm and asked sharply.

"What's wrong with Dad!"

The butler was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and his voice trembled and could not be sentenced.

"Sir, he's not good"
