However, Cui Xiyu is only three years old, and she is already very smart, since the little marquis took her out of Luoyue Xuan, she has recognized the little marquis, and every day she has to let Aunt Xiangmo carry her to the study to see the little marquis.
Sometimes the little Hou Ye is not there, she has to insist on waiting, until she sees it, this girl is a ghost, every time she sees the little Hou Ye, she smiles very brightly, and she screams one by one, she is young, she looks good and well-behaved, her small mouth is sweeter, and it is nothing to be coquettish, but it will make people love it more and more. Because of this, the little marquis went to Qingzhuyuan several times in a month, and Xiangmo was so happy that she held her like a baby every day, and also went to some troubles about not giving birth to a boy and a girl.
Later, after hearing that the little marquis often goes to Bicui Garden, she took her aunt to take her to Bicui Garden to see the little marquis, and she recognized Cui Xiyue and Cui Jinfeng at this sight, and the three sisters and brothers played together at once, and they couldn't pull away. The little marquis is happy to see it, and every time he sees it, he is happy, saying that this is a deep love between sisters and brothers.
When Xiangmo first came to Qian Yuning's Bicui Garden, she was also a little embarrassed, but as several children got acquainted, she also got acquainted with Qian Yuning, and the two became good friends who talked about everything. There is nothing to do, the children are playing together, she will do needlework together, chat, and talk about her experience with children, less than a month, they get along very well, where there is still the former hostile strangeness and bitterness.
Under the introduction of Xiangmo, Qian Yuning and Xiangshu also became acquainted, and the three of them went to see Meiyu who was still recuperating in Guixiangju, Meiyu was still so sick and crooked, although she was destined to pick it up, but her body was so weak that she felt very tight when she got out of bed and walked around for a while, and she couldn't breathe, so she had to go back to bed and lie down. Meiyun feels sorry for her sister, she always guards it day and night, and she slowly gets haggard, and now she basically can't see her smiling, and she always has a sad expression on her face.
When it came to the lunar month, the weather suddenly turned cold, and within a few days, it snowed.
The first snow when Qian Yuning came to the Hou Mansion was on the eighth day of the lunar month, which happened to be the Laba Festival, the day of eating Laba porridge.
In the morning, waking up in the warm quilt, Qian Yuning blinked, adapted to the suddenly bright light, she reached out and touched the nest next to the quilt, touched the quilt with some residual warmth, and showed a honey-like smile on her face.
The little Hou Ye seems to have risen, he probably went to the court, in fact, what the little Hou Ye is doing, where he goes every day, Qian Yuning doesn't know, she only knows that the little Hou Ye comes every day to serve him well.
She won't recite poems against her, let alone talk about national affairs, whenever she is with the little marquis, she talks about the children the most, yesterday Sister Yue grew her first teeth, and now Brother Feng has learned to climb, and so on, the little marquis listens with a smile every time, without a trace of impatience.
Sometimes Qian Yuning will also talk about some trivial things in the yard, and the little Hou Ye also listens, and does not interrupt or allow her to say, but the little Hou Ye always does not tell her about his own affairs, he comes to eat, tease the children, accompany her and the children around the garden, and bring her and the children some things bought from outside, which can be regarded as gifts, and there are often them.
Most of the honeysuckle hairpins and jewelry given to Qian Yuning are women's homes, she saves them one by one, puts them in her jewelry box, and slowly picks them up and wears them all over the same every day, and wears them to him, to herself, and to everyone.
The people in Bicui Garden are all smiling when they see their aunt, and the little people in the Hou Mansion outside Bicui Garden are also smiling and very attentive every time they see her.
Qian Yuning lay in the warm quilt and didn't want to get up, at this time, the door opened, a fresh cold wind poured in, mixed with the fragrance of oranges, Mama Liu took a plate of oranges in her hand and walked around from behind the screen, glanced at the bed, and saw that Qian Yuning had woken up, and was looking at the plate of oranges in her hand, so she smiled and said, "Auntie can't afford it?" It's snowing outside! It's a piece of white life, but it's beautiful. In the morning, the little marquis also chanted a poem, saying "The silver makeup is elegant, the early winter snow, the rui qi is long and clean, and the trillion years are abundant." "The slave doesn't know what it means, it's probably just good-looking, seeing the little marquis frowning and reading it out in a good mood, he laughed when he saw this snow, he must have liked it."
Is it snowing, Qian Yuning remembered it all of a sudden, sat up by herself, and didn't call the maid to come in and serve, she picked up her clothes and put them on, Mama Liu hurriedly put down the dantang in her hand on the round table in the house, and while coming over to help, she shouted loudly for Dongxue and Xia Ying to come in and serve.
The three of them dressed Qian Yuning as a fluffy rabbit, and the whole person was dressed thickly, so they put on the rabbit fur jacket for her at the beginning of the snow, just because they were afraid that they would catch a cold when they went out.
After she got dressed, Mama Liu took out a pair of sheepskin boots and said, "Auntie, you see, these sheepskin boots were only delivered to the embroidery room yesterday, and they came in handy today, just to put them on to see the snow." ”
Qian Yuning nodded, smiling happily, and a trace of expectation rose in her heart, she wanted it would be better if she could watch it with the little marquis, but he had already gone out, where to find him back now.
After thinking about it, forget it, let's see it for myself, and Mama Liu, grandma Sun and a few maids are accompanied, and the two little buns are also there, but if the snow is too cold, they will not be allowed to go out of the house, so they will stay in the house so as not to be frozen.
After everything was dressed, Xia Ying cleaned Qian Yuning's face, she rinsed her mouth by herself, and drank a bowl of hot water handed by Dongxue as usual, and her stomach suddenly eased.
Xia Ying and Dong Xue took the water and poured it, Qian Yuning followed the two maids out of the door, and as soon as she opened the heavy door curtain, a gust of cold wind rushed towards her and hit her, Qian Yuning only felt a cold face, and quickly covered her face with her hands.
Sure enough, it was still snowing outside, probably in the middle of the night last night, and it had already fallen in the middle of the night, and the yard was covered with a thin layer of snow two fingers thick, and everywhere it looked white. But this white is not pale, nor is it a lifeless white, nor is it a transparent white. This white is a hazy white in the flying snowflakes; It is the layers of undulating on the roof, on the courtyard wall, on the flowers and trees, on the stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard, everywhere you can see, vibrant white; It is the green osmanthus branches, leaves, and green dots on the top of the tree, one by one, one by one, and the rain and snow carefully supported by the lovely and moist white; It is a red camellia that has just opened, and the red and white camellia that have already bloomed, are crystal clear, and the white of gyokuro is still there.
Snowflakes fly to the world,
Celebrate the Laba Festival with the people.
Qian Yuning looked at the snowflakes fluttering in front of her stupidly, she only felt so beautiful and beautiful, she was like being in a fairyland on earth, she couldn't help but stretch out her hands to pick up a few, the snowflakes fell in the palm of her hand, the hexagonal edges and corners were burr-like edelweiss, one by one, they looked beautiful and cute, but they quickly melted in her warm hands, Qian Yuning only felt a slight coldness in the palm of her hand, like catching a small fish in a stream, and the feeling of the fish beating in her palm was like.
Mama Liu brought the steaming laba porridge, and when she saw that her aunt was still looking at the snow in the yard under the eaves, she smiled and said in her heart, she was still a child.
"Auntie, today's Laba Festival, you should come and drink a bowl of Laba porridge."
Qian Yuning turned his head and asked, "Mama Liu, has the little marquis used it?" ”
Mama Liu's face turned into a flower with a smile: "I've used it, it's a whole big bowl, it's hot, and the little marquis praised that it tastes very good." ”
"Did you send it from the big kitchen or did you cook it yourself?"
"We got up early in the morning today, and used red dates, dried longan, walnuts, ginkgo seeds, almonds, chestnuts, peanuts, raisins, red beans, and sesame seeds, but they were all added, and they all tasted good! Auntie, come into the house and eat, and look at it after eating, the snow will not stop for a while, otherwise wait a while, Laba porridge should be cold. ”
Qian Yuning looked at the porridge in Mama Liu's hand, and then stretched out her hand to catch a few snowflakes before following Mama Liu into the house.
