A cold wind struck one night, and on the second day, the snow fell as much as possible, and in the hibiscus courtyard, Angelica Angelica placed a pot of fine silver frost carbon in the east room early in the morning, and it was burning vigorously at the moment.

Seeing that Ji Nianjin was carefully copying the words in front of the desk, Bai Zhi lightly poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, and then sat on the round stool next to her, embroidering a handkerchief.

Writing is the most concentrating, Ji Nianjin likes such an extremely quiet thing very much, in her previous life, she was locked up in the nunnery, and the most she did was to copy Buddhist scriptures in addition to chanting, that is, copying Buddhist scriptures.

In this life, there is no need to copy Buddhist scriptures, but this practice has become Ji Nianjin's habit, and as long as he is free every day, he will write a few sheets.

"Bai Zhi, what time is it?"

After writing for a long time, Ji Nianjin's hands and neck were sore, she put down her pen and looked up at the window, the snow was still falling, and a thick layer had accumulated on the eaves and treetops.

In the yard, there was already a mother-in-law and little maids who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping a road, but in a short time, another layer fell.

"Girl, it's just past noon, is the girl hungry?"

Bai Zhi put down the half-embroidered handkerchief in her hand, which was prepared for Ji Nianjin, but all these small things that Ji Nianjin carried, such as the handkerchief purse, were made by her and Bai Lan herself.

"I'm not hungry, it's just that Bai Lan hasn't seen her since the morning, what did she do?"

"Girl, you forgot, she took leave with the girl yesterday, saying that her mother was sick, and you went home today, you are on time, it is estimated that after noon, she should almost come back."

Bai Zhi said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, look at my memory, I've been practicing the words for half a day, and I'm confused. Okay, come with me to Qingxin Garden, and I'm going to have dinner with my mother. ”

Ji Nianjin rubbed her wrists, got up and walked to the south window, watching the fluttering snow fall from the sky, she wanted to push open the window, but when she thought that she had been in this warm room for a long time, if she inhaled the cool air suddenly, it might cause a cough, and let her mother know, she would definitely shush the cold and ask for warmth for a long time, so she withdrew her outstretched hand again.

At this time, the mother should have a good rest and be in a good mood.

After looking at it for a while, he was about to leave the window, when the courtyard door was opened, and a familiar figure came in, which was Bai Lan.

Xu is because she went home, Bai Lan is dressed like a girl from a small family today, slim and elegant.

"Bai Zhi, Bai Lan is back, you go to greet her, don't let her freeze."

Ji Nianjin turned around and sat on the small kang under the south window.

"Hey, slave and maid are going."

Bai Zhi agreed, got up and went out from the east room, and before she could lift the thick curtain in the middle room, Bai Lan walked in, which startled Bai Zhi.

And Bai Lan, pouting, looked quite unhappy.

"What's the matter, okay, who made you angry? Could it be that your mother said something to you again, or did she think you brought back too little silver? ”

Bai Zhi hurriedly grabbed Bai Lan and asked, if this is what Ji Nianjin sees, he will have to inquire for a long time, so he doesn't have to upset the girl.

And the reason why Bai Zhi asked this is because Bai Lan is a family child, and her old son and mother are also on errands in the house, one is in the gatehouse of the outer courtyard, and the other is in the big kitchen.

Lao Tzu is also an honest person, but her mother is a person who gets into the eyes of money. Bai Lan's monthly silver was given to her mother without leaving a penny, if the girl had a reward, it was all taken by her mother, because Bai Lan also had a younger brother, who was exactly ten years old this year, and her mother said that she wanted to save money for this only son, anyway, Bai Lan followed the girl, and she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, so she didn't need any silver.

Bai Lan went home early in the morning today, could it be that her mother poured her anger on Bai Lan because she was sick?

"You don't know my mother, as long as you have silver, it's easy to say anything, what kind of anger can she give me, it's all those old things, I've heard a lot, and I don't care about it for a long time."

Bai Lan shook her head, the snowflakes that had fallen on her body, standing in the room for a while, had begun to melt, wet her hair, wet the upper of her shoes.

"If that's not, why are you angry, this little mouth can hang an oil bottle. If you go in like this, so that the girl will see it, are you going to say it or not? Why don't you go back to the house first, change your clothes, see your hair is also wet, and your shoes are also wet, hurry up and change, if it is cold, we have a small matter, if we let the girl suffer, wouldn't it make Mrs. worry again. ”

Bai Zhi whispered to Bai Lan, Bai Lan didn't look as angry when she first came in, nodded, turned around and lifted the curtain and went out.

Bai Zhi didn't breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Bai Lan's expression, it was more like someone was angry with in this mansion.

Bai Lan is simple-minded, and everything will be shown on her face, just like she said, if her old son gave her anger, she wouldn't care, let alone be as angry as Fang Cai.

Her house is in the wide and narrow alley behind the Hou Mansion, and it is only a back door away from the Hou Mansion, so at such a short distance, who Bai Lan meets and who she hears can only be in this mansion.

Bai Zhi thought about it, and it was better to wait for the time when it was not worth it, and then ask Bai Lan. Asking Bai Lan to go back to the room to change her clothes is to give her some buffer time, and when she comes back to the main room, she should be much calmer.

"Bai Zhi, what's wrong? What are you and Brandy doing there? ”

Ji Nianjin had already drunk a cup of tea, and seeing that Bai Zhi had not come in yet, she got up and stood at the bead curtain in the east room.

Bai Zhi stood behind the curtain of the door, looking a little uneasy, and when she saw Ji Nianjin asking, she said simply.

"Girl, Xu is Bailan's mother is angry with her again, and her face is still unhappy when she comes back, the slave maid asked her to go back to the room to clean up first, don't let the snow wet her clothes, and then catch a cold."

Regardless of whether Bai Lan was angry in the mansion or not, and what kind of anger she was in, Bai Zhi felt that she should have asked Bai Lan how she was doing in private, and the two of them totaled, and if they felt that they needed to tell the girl, they would report again.

Ji Nianjin was a little suspicious in her heart, just now she also saw Bai Lan's somewhat unhappy face from the window, but she trusted Bai Zhi, so she didn't ask more, let Bai Zhi clean her up, and prepared to go to Qingxin Garden.

Before he could go out, Bai Lan returned.

changed into an ordinary grass blue jacket, with only a solid silver hairpin on his head, and he was dressed like a favored big girl next to Ji Nianjin.

"Girl, the slave is back."

Bai Lan couldn't see Fang Cai's angry appearance, and when Ji Nianjin turned around, she winked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Bai Lan didn't tell the girl to see anything abnormal.

"Well, is your mother okay?"

"Back to the girl, it's fine, it's just that I have a cold, rest for two days, and take a pair of medicines to get better."

Ji Nianjin thought, Bai Lan's mother, she also knows that in addition to being greedy for money, everything else is fine, Bai Lan is a good one, if she needs anything, as long as she speaks, Ji Nianjin will still agree.

And Bai Lan's answer was not Ji Nianjin's expectation, the two maids around her were all sincerely thinking about her, as long as there were rules, they would rather not do it.

"Okay, in this case, Bai Lan will follow me to Qingxin Garden, Bai Zhi, you can find out the patterns I drew a few days ago, and I will use them when I come back."

Ji Nianjin explained, so she took Bai Lan out, Bai Lan put a hot hand stove in Ji Nianjin's hand, and then put on a cherry-colored flower crane with fox fur trim for Ji Nianjin, put on a hat, and carefully helped Ji Nianjin out of the door.

When he got out of the courtyard gate, Ji Nianjin turned the verandah on the east side, and was about to pass through the plum garden, when a slightly suppressed voice came out from inside.

"Alas, on this cold day, the girl wants us to fold plums, this came from Yifu Garden, and it really froze to death."

In a moment, I only heard the sound of scissors cutting plum branches.

Ji Nianjin thought that it was a little girl complaining about the cold weather, so she didn't care, and was about to leave with her feet up, but was attracted by the next sentence.

"You say, is what Sister Hongya in front of the girl said true? Is the feed in the house really going to be handed over to his wife? ”
