Chapter 60: The New Year is Coming
Qi Nian accompanied Mu Shi here to spend the New Year at the age of fourteen, which is also the most comfortable thing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info also because she hides in her airtight and has no contact with the outside of the small courtyard all day long, even whoever in the Qi Mansion has that gossip can only bear it by himself, and he can't float in here.
The cold winter of the previous life was the most difficult, and it was also the origin of all things and the beginning of all evil.
But now that there is nothing wrong with his father Kang Jian'an, and Aunt Qin is still living peacefully in that quiet and peaceful mountain village, and she can also meet and recognize her aunt who is close by blood.
Mu Shi Xu had discussed with Qi Junliang in advance, and maybe the two of them tacitly said that what they said to Qi Nian was no different, they only picked up some unimportant things to say, and then there were those things they didn't want her to know, so they only passed by vaguely, and then they only kept silent when they had the intention of asking, but it was not good for Qi Nian to say anything more.
But she knows that as long as this time goes on for a long time, she can always find some clues to track down, and the mystery of the family's secret life history will always come out one day.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Qi Junliang had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the whole of the mansion, and by that time Mu Shi and Qi Nian had already eaten and were drinking tea, surrounding a large burning stove and admiring the snow through the window.
The snow has not been broken since the beginning of winter, and it is very clean and beautiful to be covered with new snow on the rooftops and in the courtyard.
Especially at night, the sky is blowing goose feathers and heavy snow, and the reunion lanterns lined up under the corridor are lit and hung by the girls, illuminating the whole courtyard as bright as a wish, and the snowflakes are also plated with layers of soft warm colors from the air, which is really interesting to look at.
The girls got Mu's permission, and they stood under the porch with a stove to enjoy the snow and play, and for a while, laughter and laughter resounded throughout the courtyard, which was really a warm and comfortable taste of joy.
Mu Shi stood up with a smile on his face, reached out and took a piece of red plum blossom sugar cake from the various pastries placed on the table and handed it to Qi Nian, "This plum blossom is really vivid, I also tasted it just now, but it is really sweet but not greasy." Nian'er, you can taste it too. ”
Qi Nian hurriedly stood up and picked it up, and said with a smile: "Aunt likes red plums very much? There are two plum trees planted in my small courtyard, and those red plums come in the wind and snow, but it is really frosty and cold, which is very good." ”
"Really?" Mu Shi obviously liked it very much, and ate a piece of plum blossom cake slowly, with a look of yearning on his face, "I used to love plum blossoms the most, and I often plant a plum forest in the back garden of my home. When there is snow, you can enjoy red plums, and when there is no snow, you can see white plums...... It was so interesting at that time, and more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye......"
She was quite sentimental in her words, and it was under the reflection of this red fire and warmth that the bloodless face was still pale. When you are old, you are disheartened, and when you are in your prime, what is the use of captivating the country and the city?
Qi Nian lowered his eyes and covered the sad look in his eyes. She hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and the two small pear vortices looming on her cheeks were very pleasing, "Although I can't plant a whole plum forest in Qi Mansion now, I will fold a few blooming snow-red plums for my aunt tomorrow and put them in a blue and white porcelain vase, and put them under this window to watch, wouldn't it be a special taste." ”
At this time, she was standing side by side with A-Yao behind Qi Nian, and said softly with a smile: "If the second aunt likes it, we can pinch it out with good flour tomorrow according to the appearance of the red plum, and then put it in the steamer to steam it, then you can watch it while eating, then it is really interesting." ”
When Ah Yao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she only turned her head to look at the shallots and nodded desperately in agreement.
Mu Shi raised his eyebrows and smiled, which made no one in the room overshadowed, and the pair of water-cut eyes that were particularly similar to Qi Nian suddenly sparkled and I felt pity. She bowed her head and said gently, "Yes." ”
At this time, Qi Junliang happened to open the door curtain, took off the snowflake-covered coat and handed it to the girl next to him, and walked over in stride.
Mu's bright and happy smile immediately crashed into his eyes.
He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his eyes were in a trance for a moment, as if the old man had come back from a dream.
Thinking of Qin Moxian, who died early, Qi Nian had five points similar in appearance and five points in similar expression.
And Murong Wanshuang is a sibling sister to her, but because the environment and habits she has cultivated since childhood are different, seven points are similar in appearance, and only three points are similar in appearance.
Wanshuang is more calm and indifferent, noble and elegant, but Mo Xian is pitiful and supple and deceitful, but in fact, she is strong and has a blue heart in her heart.
Such a shocking person makes people pity the woman in their bones, so that people can see it and forget it.
Qi Junliang lowered his head and removed the different colors on his face, and then put on a gentle smile before stepping forward.
The night passed quickly, Mu Shi held on to his spirits until the middle of the night, Qi Junliang saw that she was served by Aunt Rong and fell asleep, so he whispered a few words to Qi Nian, and left first.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, the snow cleared.
On the first day of the new year, it seems to be a good sign that everything is good.
Shallot didn't spend the night in Mu's courtyard, so Qi Nian let her go with Qi Bo, although the whole family couldn't stay together, but it was also good for Qi Bo to have a daughter around his knees, trying to be relieved.
Ah Yao followed Qi Nian back to the small courtyard, and was about to pick the two blooming plum blossoms in the courtyard and bring them back, and make a different plum blossom cake with these vivid flowers.
Because Mu Shi slept late last night, he will definitely be extra sleepy today, but the master and servant are not in a hurry, facing the soft sunlight and stepping on the white snow, the cold air of the early morning makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.
Mu's courtyard is located in the outermost part of Qi Mansion, and even the main courtyard is a little bit inside.
When she returned to Qi Nian's small courtyard from her, she must have passed through the small garden of Qi Mansion where few people would stay here.
Qi Nian, the small garden, has often passed by since he entered the Qi Mansion, and it is the most familiar place. But when she set foot here today, she was very keenly aware of the difference from her usual life.
It has been snowing since the beginning of winter this year, and the entire Qi Mansion has not been cleared except for the main path.
