Snow, still falling.
Gentle snow.
It was just a few days away, but the snow was making it much darker than usual.
It was like evening.
It's a silvery evening.
In the courtyard outside the hall, the cypresses, the withered hydrangeas, and the bush branches were covered with snow.
The flowers and trees that used to excel in the summer are all buried in the snow at this moment.
In the Wenqi Palace, only the Queen Mother and Bai Zhi remained.
The Queen Mother stared at the ring.
Not a word.
Bai Zhi only repeated the action of pinching and rubbing her shoulders for her.
For a moment, it was as silent as the snow outside the door.
"Angelica Angelica,"
Coldly, the Queen Mother called softly.
"I want to eat walnuts," she said. ”
Bai Zhi hurriedly replied: "No, the walnuts are all placed in the Huifu Palace, and the slave will go to get them immediately." ”
Huifu Hall is the place where the Queen Mother reads and rests in the afternoon. After lunch on weekdays, the Queen Mother will go there, so the palace is stocked with melon seeds, walnuts and other snacks.
"Wait," the Queen Mother called her to stop: "Is there that little hammer that knocks walnuts in this hall?"
Bai Zhi said: "In the ebony chest of drawers under the west window, the slave first went to get the walnuts and came back, and then looked for the hammer, okay?" ”
"Well," the Queen Mother looked to the west, nodded and said, "You can go quickly." ”
……
Wenqi Hall is not too far from Huifu Palace, and about a quarter or two of an hour, Bai Zhi came back with a small basket of walnuts.
But before she could walk up the steps, she heard the sound of "dong dong", and occasionally the sound of some "bang" metal colliding.
The sound was rhythmless and uninterrupted.
It was the sound of someone striking something with a hammer.
It sounded like he was trying his best, as if he was going to smash that thing to smithereens.
Bai Zhi thought of the origin of the voice, her heart palpitated, she frowned, she was at a loss, and her brain was like a blank piece of paper.
She didn't even notice that the small basket in her hand had fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the walnuts rolled to the ground, but they didn't make a sound.
Bai Zhi squatted down, picked up the walnuts slowly, one by one, and looked up at the gray sky, letting the snow stain her sideburns.
In this situation, she didn't know whether to regret or sigh.
Jun buried the mud under the spring, and I sent the world full of snow.
……
I don't know how long it took for the beating to stop.
Bai Zhi swept the snow off her shoulders, half an inch.
She straightened her clothes and rubbed her cheeks so that her face was not so pale, and then she pretended to have nothing to do and entered the Wenqi Palace.
"Coming back?"
The Queen Mother only glanced back at Bai Zhi, and continued to bow her head to eat Le Lin's bamboo shoots and noodles.
"This Yimen, do you want the slave to take it hot?" Bai Zhi asked as if she didn't see the Queen Mother's messy bun and sideburns.
"No, there's still some warmth. ”
The Queen Mother said, took out a square handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and pointed to the small table on the side, on which a delicate bronze hammer was placed, she said: "I thought you would use it now, and I found it for you when I had nothing to do." 【】“
"The Queen Mother is bothered. Bai Zhi picked up the small hammer, sat down next to the Queen Mother, skillfully took out the walnuts in the basket, beat and peeled them, and did it in one go.
While peeling walnuts, she chatted with the Queen Mother without a match: "Does Yi Mian taste good?"
"It's still the same taste. ”
"Where's the Poria cake?"
"Yes, would you like to try it too?"
"No, no, it's just one person's serving. ”
"It's always ...... way"
This kind of dialogue makes Bai Zhi feel as if time has been turned back many years ago.
After a while, the walnuts were knocked and peeled, but the Queen Mother said, "I don't want to eat walnuts anymore." ”
"But Imen have eaten too much?"
"Perhaps. ”
The Queen Mother rubbed her hands and said to Bai Zhi: "Is there any muscle coagulation cream in this hall?"
Bai Zhi quickly glanced at the Queen Mother's hand, only to see that the index finger of her left hand was red and swollen.
The Queen Mother hurriedly covered it with her sleeves and said with a smile: "The weather is really cold, I forgot to hold the soup woman for a while, and I immediately got chilblains." ”
How can chilblains be red and swollen?
Bai Zhi was relieved, and did not say anything, and said respectfully: "It's over there, and the slave will go to get it immediately." ”
With that, he got up and walked in the direction of the side pavilion.
But when she was about to walk to the door, she turned around uneasily, but saw the Queen Mother staring at the leftover bamboo shoots in the blink of an eye.
The expression is both lonely and lonely.
……
The next day, in the bedroom of the Fuyun Palace, Chai Jue woke up from a big dream, only to feel that his back was sore all over his body, and his brain was chaotic as if it was filled with lead water.
"Good...... Tired. ”
He frowned and moaned softly.
"Ahem, ahem!"
There seemed to be phlegm in his throat, and he couldn't help coughing several times in a row, but it didn't relieve the discomfort at all.
- "Are you alright?"
A familiar voice came from the side, Chai Jue didn't think about it, and replied as usual: "It's okay, it's just ...... I probably won't be able to go to today's official class. ”
While peeling a pear, Le Lin replied: "The official class, it doesn't matter if you go or not." ”
"So you don't go," Chai Jue frowned, coughed several times, and persuaded: "The official school is not your family's private school, you don't have to do your own thing like this." ”
The skin of the pear was peeled, and Le Lin cut a small piece and put it in her mouth.
Well, sweet and crispy.
She cut off another piece and put it into Chai Jue's mouth.
The watery pears made his throat feel a lot more comfortable after a thirsty night.
It was only then that Chai Jue reacted and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Le Lin sighed and asked, "Do you have any earth-shattering secrets in this Cloud Breeze Palace?"
Thinking of yesterday and today, Fei Bin, the chief eunuch of the Cloud Palace, looked reluctant and made excuses not wanting her to come in, Le Lin felt inexplicable.
"How can there be a secret? I'm such a fair and honest person. ”
When Le Lin was asleep, he had already looked at this Cloud Palace, and there was indeed nothing unusual, so he was even more puzzled by Fei Bin's behavior.
Chai Jue asked her again, "What time is it?"
"It's been a little past three quarters. ”
"Then why are you still here?" Chai Jue exclaimed, "You didn't go to the official school again?"
Le Lin helped Chai Jue to lie down, poured another cup of tea, handed it to him, and then said leisurely: "The life of not skipping class is really a bit incomplete." ”
In her previous life, she didn't say that she was absent from class, and she didn't even get distracted in class. Follow the rules, follow the steps, and look back, only to find that the whole youth is a layer of gray color.
In addition to reading, only reading.
"Absenteeism?"
Chai Jue heard this word for the first time.
Le Lin said: "Skipping class, skipping class, skipping class, whatever you want to call it, anyway, it means not going to school when you should go to school." ”
"Why are you so reasonable?"
Chai Jue was very thirsty, and after a while, he drank all the water in the cup.
Le Lin poured another cup for him before replying: "I don't want to be an official, what's the use of learning this? ”
Chai Jue was drinking a sip of water, and when he heard this, he was so surprised that he was about to swallow, and coughed several times before he straightened his breath.
He frowned and asked, "You don't plan to join the ranks?"
