The heavy snow fell all day, the snow in the courtyard was swept several times, and in a blink of an eye, a thick layer was accumulated, and a red plum quietly stretched out from the corner of the wall, and the heavy snow covered the red plum petals, but could not hide the quiet fragrance.

Under the window of the east room, Xiao Yezi sat by the stove and made shoes by the bright light, at this time, the window was pushed open a thin slit, and a snow ball fell on Xiao Yezi's body, she was startled, looked up, and saw a young man standing in front of the window with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Yu, your house is here." Xiao Yezi saw the person coming, her face was happy, she stood up and asked, "When will you come back, why don't you say it in advance." ”

The two talked through the window, and Shen Yu replied with a smile: "I arrived early in the morning, and I went around before returning to the house, and I had already seen my father and mother just now." ”

The wind and snow outside were quite heavy, and Xiao Yezi saw that Shen Yu's cheeks were slightly red from the cold, so he beckoned him into the house, and said angrily: "Such a big snow, you won't come back early when you get home, where did you go to the wild?" ”

At this time, Shen Yu had already walked into the room, even if he was scolded, he was not annoyed, he still had a smile on his face, and after entering the house, he sat down on the soft couch where Xiao Yezi was originally sitting, picked up the shoes she made and looked left and right, and said with a smile: "You are the most impatient to be these female celebrities, and now you have learned?" ”

There was heavy snow outside, but the house was warm, Xiao Yezi poured a cup of tea for Shen Yu, and said helplessly: "Who called me a daughter's family, I married someone else's family in the future, I can't catch the needle and can't hold the thread, wouldn't it be asking people to pick on me?" ”

This autumn, her wedding date is set, the man is Liu Hanlin's grandson Liu Guan, these years, Shen Zhuo accompanied Gu Sanniang to live in Lixian County, several children in the family, except for Shen Yu, who is studying abroad, Xiao Yezi and Brother Hu have been with the Shen couple, but they will live in Beijing for a while every year.

This year's Shangyuan Festival, Xiao Yezi happened to be in Beijing, earlier, she and a few good sisters have made an appointment to go out to see the lights, these boudoir ladies took a boat, all the way along the moat to watch the lanterns, but also very happy, do not want to play to the halfway, their boat and a three-story building boat rubbed, the building boat is much larger, their boat knocked a crooked, fortunately there are accompanying mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of, a few young ladies in addition to a little frightened, but it is not a big problem.

It's just that the boat hit them, and no one came to apologize, just wanted to row away, Xiao Yezi couldn't be angry, and commanded their boat to go up and stop in front, although the boat was big, in the end they didn't dare to seriously hit it, after all, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and there was a lot of life, but it was not a naughty child.

When I asked each other, I inquired that the princes and grandsons of various provinces in Beijing were all on the boat, and they were also going out to play tonight, as for those sons, I heard that the boat they hit was full of young ladies from the family, and they all poked their heads out to see the excitement.

This time by the collision, almost had an accident, the building boat as the east of the Wu Wang Shizi refused to apologize, but ridiculed Xiao Yezi, Xiao Yezi inevitably and Wu Wang Shizi reasoned, she has been reading with Shen Zhuo since she was a child, and she has read a lot of books collected by the miscellaneous school, and when she reprimands people, she is the Tao, and the Wu Wang Shizi is speechless.

The sons on the boat secretly made fun of Xiao Yezi's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, not a good person, but Liu Guan, who was present, looked straight and fell into lovesickness.

Although Xiao Yezi is only Shen Zhuo's adopted daughter, but the Shen family treats her as their own, when she is in the Jiang Mansion, she often goes in and out of the palace with Princess Jichang, and her identity is also compatible with Liu Guan.

At first, Gu Sanniang was reluctant, firstly, she was worried that the rules of the Liu family were strict, and Xiaoyezi could not be restrained, and secondly, Lixian and the capital were far away, if she married far away from the capital, it would be inconvenient for them to move between mother and daughter, who knew that Liu Guan did not give up, and chased him to Lixian alone, and visited Shen Zhuo every day in the name of seeking teaching.

After the Shen Liu family got married, the official media calculated that it would be a good day on the eighth day of February next year, so that since the beginning of autumn, Xiao Yezi will stay at home and wait for marriage with peace of mind.

Shen Yu was studying abroad, but he vaguely heard that the son of the Liu family in Beijing was pursuing Xiao Yezi, and he didn't know the details, and when he learned that the two had been married, the autumn had already passed, and the school had not yet been on vacation at that time, Shen Yu received a letter from home without saying a word, and the next day, he went to school as usual, only to wait for the holiday, so he packed his bags and rushed to the capital.

Xiao Yezi sat next to Shen Yu like she did when she was a child, she picked up the needle and thread, and said while doing the work: "Come back early after the holiday, when I go out, there will be my father and mother and Brother Tiger at home, with you by their side, it will be more or less lively." ”

After listening to her words, Shen Yu scraped his fingers on his face a few times, and teased: "Are you ashamed?" I haven't gone out yet, but I'm thinking about what will happen after I get married. ”

Xiao Yezi glared at him quickly, and said half-ashamedly and half-annoyedly: "No rules, I'm still your sister?" ”

Shen Yu's expression sank, and the smile in his eyes faded a little, but Xiao Yezi happened to lower his head, so he didn't notice his distraction.

The room was quiet, no one spoke, and after a while, the shoes in Xiao Yezi's hand were ready, she tied a knot, lowered her head to bite the broken thread, and stuffed the shoes into Shen Yu's arms, and said, "Put them on and try them." ”

Shen Yu was a little surprised, he said, "What did you do for me?" ”

For example, whenever the daughter is out of the cabinet, she always has to send some needlework to her husband's family to show her ability, so Shen Yu only thinks that she is doing it for her future husband, and does not want her shoes to be made for him to wear.

"I made a set of clothes, shoes and socks for everyone in the family, and you, your father and mother, and Brother Tiger will not dislike me." Thinking of this, Xiao Yezi smiled, and she said again: "It's just that my skills are not good in front of the Liu family, and the needlework given to their family is all prepared for me by Aunt Xiaoyue. ”

Seeing this, Shen Yu pulled her palm and looked at it carefully, he saw the thin calluses on her hands, frowned and said: "When you were a girl at home, no one in our family forced you to do needlework, so why bother to suffer this after getting married." ”

Xiao Yezi withdrew her hand, she said: "This is the duty of a woman's family, if I don't know, others will only make up my mother and not teach me well, and now I regret that I didn't learn more from my mother at that time." ”

She is a good hand at housework, only the needlework is very unenlightened, and when she grows up a little, she has been separated from Gu Sanniang for a few years, so this needlework is becoming more and more refined, Shen Yu's chest is slightly stuffy, and it seems that she is reluctant to force herself.

Xiao Yezi saw that he was silent, and said with a smile: "Put it on, let me see if it fits." ”

Shen Yu lowered his gaze, then changed into new shoes without saying a word, got up and walked a few steps, Xiao Yezi saw that the size was right, and said with a smile: "My eyesight is really good." ”

The room was a little dull, Xiao Yezi and Shen Yu grew up together, naturally knew that he was angry, in order to break the atmosphere, she casually started a conversation and said, "Who are you going to see?" ”

Shen Yu's face loosened a little, he smiled, looked at Xiao Yezi's eyes, and said, "Guess." ”

"It's really strange, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how can you guess."

"Who else can there be, Young Master Liu!" Shen Yu deliberately laughed a few times, and then said, "Do you know what I saw? ”

When Xiao Yezi heard the name in his mouth, a touch of red flew on her face, and when she saw Shen Yu selling Guanzi, she glared at him and said, "Do you like to say it or not!" ”

She snorted lightly, lowered her head and sorted out her sewing basket, how could Shen Yu not understand her thoughts, he leaned on the couch, his hands pillowed behind his head, and even cocked Erlang's legs, unhurriedly holding the teacup to eat tea.

"Don't you really want to know? When I left, Liu Gongzi asked me to bring you a message. ”

He said these words in his mouth, but he didn't tell Xiao Yezi what Liu Guan had said to her, Xiao Yezi's face was red, and when she saw Shen Yu's leisurely and slow appearance, she was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, she took off the new shoes on his feet, and scolded: "The shoes will be returned to me, and I won't give them to you if I throw them away." ”

With that, she opened the window and threw her shoes into the snow.

"Hey, that's infuriating." Shen Yu didn't care to speak, he was barefoot, and hurriedly ran out to find his shoes, and after a while, he saw him return to the inner room, Xiao Yezi's face was angry, and he turned his back to him.

Shen Yu was really annoyed when he saw her, and finally stopped teasing her, and kept making amends until the anger on Xiao Yezi's face disappeared, and then he talked about seeing Liu Guan today.

"I heard that the sons in Beijing enjoyed the snow around the fireplace, including Liu Gongzi, I was curious, so I took the little guy to join in the fun, at first he didn't know me, but afterwards he was introduced, and then I was able to get acquainted."

Xiao Yezi glanced at him and said, "What did you all say?" ”

She and Liu Guan have met a few times, but they have never spoken, but they just heard her father and mother say that he has a good character, so she will inevitably have some confusion when she thinks of this future husband.

"I asked each other about the words, and talked about reading and learning, and then appreciating the snow and making poems, I randomly connected a few sentences to meet the situation, but Liu Gongzi, who is outstanding in literature, is the most rare is a modest and polite person, and everyone is convinced of him."

After listening to him, Xiao Yezi's eyebrows slowly smiled, she lowered her head and pondered silently, Shen Yu saw that she was silent, so he squatted in front of her, looked into her eyes and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xiao Yezi thought for a while, and she said: "Father and mother said that he is very good, and the eyes of the two elders must not be wrong, but when I think of getting married, I am always a little worried in my heart, and now even you say that he is very good, and my heart can be regarded as completely settled." ”

Shen Yu's eyes softened, he held Xiao Yezi's hand, and did not speak for a long time.
