Chapter 209: It's Freezing Cold
On this day, the snow stopped for several days, and Sister Yue saw that there was no snow outside, so she couldn't stay in the house, and she was clamoring to go out to the garden outside, watch the snow scene, and build a snowman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qian Yuning was so noisy that she had a headache, so she told Dongxue, Lichun and Osmanthus to take the three children out to play, and ordered four little girls to follow behind.
After a few children went out, Qian Yuning shook her head, smiled at Mama Liu and said: "Sister Yue'er, this child is really skinny, even more noisy than her brother, not quiet at all, how can I get it when I grow up in the future." ”
Mama Liu also smiled on the side and said: "The third lady is too worried, the old slave sees that the third girl is smart, and he has an idea for everything when he is only two years old, and he must have a great person in the future." ”
The two didn't want to go because they were afraid of the cold, so they stayed in the house and embroidered flowers, and didn't go out together. The two sat opposite each other by the stove and did the embroidery work, embroidered for half an hour, a little tired, put down the needle and thread at hand to rest, used some snacks, and continued to embroider.
A little maid ran in in a panic and said breathlessly: "Third lady, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, the young girl, I was taken away by Mrs. Hou." ”
Qian Yuning panicked for a while, the needle in her hand pierced her middle finger all of a sudden, and bright red blood beads came out all of a sudden, and her heart hurt, she hissed in her mouth, and quickly took out a handkerchief to hold down the bleeding place on her middle finger tightly. Standing up, he asked eagerly, "What, what did you say?" What's going on? Hurry up. ”
The little maid said with a handful of snot and tears: "The third lady, Sister Lichun and Sister Dongxue, Sister Osmanthus, the three of them took the sons and girls to walk around and play in the garden, and the slaves and maids followed behind, and they were all good along the way." But when I walked to the Apricot Garden Observation Pavilion, I was stopped by the eldest lady and the eldest son who were enjoying the snow scene in the pavilion, saying that they hadn't seen their younger siblings for a long time, and they were called in to sit down for a while and talk. I don't want to, I didn't talk for long, the eldest girl and the third girl began to talk, the third girl was careless, choked, fortunately, the eldest son was fast, and patted the third girl on the back, so it was no big deal. However, this matter was soon known to Mrs. Hou, and Miss Meilian was sent to take away the eldest son and the third girl, and said that Miss Xueying was an ominous person, and that such a thing happened as soon as she entered the mansion, and punished her for kneeling in the pavilion. The slaves and maids were afraid that Miss Xueying would kneel badly, so they were so anxious that they rushed back to report to the third lady, the third lady, go and take a look! I beg Mrs. Hou, don't let Miss Xueying kneel, this cold and snowy, she is small and thin, how can she stand it! ”
"What!" Qian Yuning listened to the maid's words, and sat down in the chair all of a sudden, how could this be, it was an extremely common thing for the three children to wander around in their own homes, how did it become like this? Now, she couldn't think about it anymore, thinking that her daughter Xue Ying was still kneeling in the pavilion, she was so anxious that she asked the maid to take a cloak and go out. She is going to rescue her daughter, such a small person, in such a cold weather, just kneeling, she must freeze out of illness, let alone children, in such a cold weather, sometimes adults may not be able to survive.
Qian Yuning hurriedly took a few maids to the viewing pavilion, and saw a group of maids from her own garden and two maids from Yongheyuan standing outside the pavilion, in the pavilion, Xue Ying's small body was kneeling on the cold ground, she was wearing a gray-black mink plush cloak, and standing next to her was the eldest prince Cui Jinzhen.
Seeing her coming, Lichun Osmanthus and several people gathered around her as if they had the backbone of the heart, and shouted in their mouths: "Third lady." Qian Yuning waved his hand at them and told them not to speak.
She stepped forward, went to the viewing pavilion, saluted Cui Jinzhen, and said politely: "It turns out that the eldest prince is also here, and the concubine has seen the eldest prince." ”
Cui Jinzhen saw that it was Qian Yuning, and he also politely saluted, bowed to her, and said: "Jinzhen has seen the third lady, and the third lady is auspicious." ”
Qian Yuning smiled at him reluctantly, and said to Xue Ying on the ground: "Why is Xue Ying so ignorant, she actually used the eldest prince's cloak to keep out the cold, and froze the eldest prince, but how can I get it." She turned her head and instructed the little maid with the cloak behind her to take off the cloak on Xue Ying and return it to Cui Jinzhen, and then asked them to give her the thick cloak she had brought.
The little maid respectfully handed the gray-black mink fur cloak to Cui Jinzhen with both hands: "Big boy." ”
Cui Jinzhen glanced at Wei Xueying, who was kneeling on the ground, and silently took the cloak handed over by the maid and hugged it in his hand.
Qian Yuning said politely to Cui Jinzhen: "Eldest son, what's going on?" What about the second son and the third girl? How did I hear that Xue Ying was punished by Mrs. Hou for kneeling? I don't know how long it will take to kneel? ”
Cui Jinzhen's face turned red, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a joke between sisters and sisters, who knew that the ancestor was angry, and he seemed to care about Sister Xiyue, not only reprimanded Sister Yun, but also punished Sister Xue Ying for no reason, it's really ......." Third lady, don't worry, I was about to go to Yonghe Courtyard to beg the old ancestor and ask her to be exempted from the punishment of Sister Xue Ying. It's freezing on this day, Sister Xue Ying, a little girl, is not good after kneeling for a long time, I'm afraid that I will get frostbite. ”
Qian Yuning nodded, bowed slightly to him, and said: "In this way, there is a big son Lao, it's all because Sister Yue is ignorant, my sister should have let my sister go, not to mention that Sister Yun is her big sister, and the concubine will definitely teach Sister Yue a good lesson this time, so that she won't dare to cause trouble next time." ”
Cui Jinzhen said: "The third lady is serious, Sister Yun is too, she should have let her sister, Sister Xiyue is not wrong, you don't have to embarrass her anymore, speaking of which, Sister Xiyue is very cute, even I love her." Third lady, Jin Zhen begged you for a favor, so I will be exempted from the punishment of Sister Xiyue!. ”
Qian Yuning nodded and said, "In the future, the eldest prince will teach my unsuccessful sons and daughters, after all, you are their eldest brother!" ”
Cui Jinzhen cautiously bowed to her and said, "These are all things that Jinzhen, the elder brother, should do, then, third lady, Jinzhen is going to Yonghe Courtyard, farewell." ”
Qian Yuning nodded to him and said, "The eldest prince walks slowly." ”
As soon as Cui Jinzhen left, Qian Yuning squatted down to hug Wei Xueying and asked, "Xueying, are you cold?" If it's cold, you will forget to lean on your mother's arms, you can rest assured, it won't be cold for a while. ”
At this time, a big maid came over, Qian Yuning saw that it was the big maid of Yonghe Courtyard, she came over to ask Qian Yuning for peace first, and then said: "Third lady, Miss Wei is kneeling, you are not behaving in accordance with the rules." ”
Qian Yuning glanced up at her coldly and asked, "I don't know how long Mrs. Hou wants to punish Xue Ying for kneeling?" ”
The maid didn't answer, but just said vigorously: "Third lady, get up quickly, the slaves and maids really can't explain to Mrs. Hou Ye if you do this!" Mrs. Hou Ye ordered the slaves and maids to guard Miss Xueying, and she had to kneel for an hour before she could get up! Don't ask the slaves. ”
Qian Yuning ignored her, just lowered her head, hugged Xue Ying's body into her arms, touched her forehead, and asked, "Xue Ying, is it cold?" If it's cold, just say to your mother, if it's cold, come to your mother's arms, your mother won't be cold when she holds you, rest assured, your mother will accompany you, and she will always be with you, an hour will pass quickly, don't be afraid! ”
Wei Xueying raised her head, her little face was miserable and white, she glanced at Qian Yuning, her lips moved, she pursed again, didn't say anything, lowered her head, and leaned forward into Yuning's arms silently.
After a while, the two mothers and daughters knelt silently in the pavilion and hugged each other, almost becoming two embracing humanoid statues, and the snow fluttered and flew up, and suddenly, the sky and the earth were vast, and soon became a snow-white piece.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, although Qian Yuning is dressed heavily, she also began to get cold at this time, because kneeling on the cold ground, her knees began to become more and more uncomfortable, and it became colder and colder, she used her big cloak to cover Wei Xueying's whole body, quietly picked her up, put her whole person in front of her chest, and in her arms, let her knees off the ground and clinged to her thighs.
Wei Xueying raised her head to look at her, and just as she wanted to make a sound, she put her forehead on her forehead and whispered, "Shhh Xue Ying, don't speak, don't make a sound, just obediently leaning in your mother's arms, you are still a child, your body is weak, you can't stand the cold, obediently, you obediently lean on your mother's kiss, your mother's kiss hugs you, so it will warm up. ”
Suddenly, Wei Xueying's eyes were full of tears, she buried her head and face in her mother's chest, tears soon soaked her placket, Qian Yuning saw her crying, only silently stroked her back with her hand, the two mothers and daughters, no one spoke again.
The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, Qian Yuning and Wei Xueying, the two mothers and daughters, are much better to stay in the pavilion, the minions standing outside the pavilion are blown by the wind and snow, the snow particles are dense, the wind is like a sharp blade, the wind knife sandwiches the rain and snow on their heads and faces, and soon, everyone is covered with a layer of white edelweiss, like a snowman.
The weather was cold, the dripping water turned into ice, and the garden of the Anxin Marquis Mansion was quiet, only the sound of wind and snow falling was heard, and nothing else. (To be continued.) )
