Chapter 31: A Snowy Night in the Plum Garden

Xiao Feiqing's heart suddenly sank, and the osmanthus brew he drank just now was bubbling in his stomach, and his heart burned like fire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I'll take you to the alley." Yang Chuting broke the subtle awkward atmosphere and said, "Everyone, please." ”

At the mouth of the alley, everyone said goodbye, Xiao Feiqing wore a gray robe and walked lonely in the snow. The fragments of firecrackers on the snow are scattered unevenly, and the red confetti is reflected on the white snow, which is bright and dazzling.

Xiao Feiqing turned his head and looked into the distance, Yu Ruyan's back gradually blurred, the laughter gradually faded away, and he still stopped in place, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Yang Chuting's forbearance for her, and Tang Yunluo's fiery actions towards her, Xiao Feiqing saw it in his eyes. But what did she think in her heart?

The sky began to snow again, and snowflakes fell on Xiao Feiqing's shoulders and on his long eyelashes. Not far away, Yang Chuting had already accompanied his wife and children into the house to sleep, and Yu Ruyan also followed the Tang family sisters and brothers back home. Only herself, on the empty street, gently looked in the direction of her departure, as if the next moment, she would return.

After Yu Ruyan went home, she closed her eyes a little, and then got up to freshen up. The maid waited for her to change into her crown clothes, and when she went out, she saw Tang Yunluo standing at the door with her hands rubbed.

"Tang Yunluo, why are you ......" Yu Ruyan stepped forward and asked.

Tang Yun turned his head and saw Yu Ruyan wearing a brand-new crown dress, which made her face like a hibiscus in the snowy night, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"I'll send you to the palace!" Tang Yunluo said, "The court officials have their own sedan chair drivers, so you don't want to be suspicious." It's still early, how can I rest assured that you will walk into the palace alone? ”

A burst of warmth came to her heart, and Yu Ruyan said with a smile: "Tang Gongzi is really bothered. ”

"Let's go." Tang Yunluo accompanied Yu Ruyan and walked all the way in the direction of the palace.

Walking on the snow, there was a "creaking" sound under her feet, and Yu Ruyan couldn't help but chuckle.

Tang Yunluo said: "I like snow very much, but the climate in Jincheng is warm, so it hasn't rained much." When I was a child, my father and I went to Saibei once and encountered a heavy snowfall. At that time, I was too young to see it, and I was very excited to see the snowflakes of white flowers. I played outside for a long time, and I didn't go home until I was wet and frozen. As a result, when I went back, I caught a cold and was taught a lesson by my father. ”

"And then?" Yu Ruyan listened to Tang Yunluo tell the story of her childhood with great interest, and couldn't help asking.

Tang Yunluo said with a smile: "Although I was sick and was counted down by my father, I still can't forget the beauty of the snowy day. As long as I believe in it, I will not give up. ”

Yu Ruyan turned her head sideways, and Tang Yunluo's last sentence seemed to mean something else.

"Scholar, it's so early!" At this time, the two had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and many officials had already gathered here.

Tang Yunluo said: "It's already here, then I'll go back first." ”

"Okay, slow down on the road." Yu Ruyan smiled and watched Tang Yunluo leave, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Feiqing coming.

"Lord Xiao didn't rest, right?" Yu Ruyan asked with a smile, "Look at the tired face on your face." ”

Xiao Feiqing smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't have a good rest." ”

"Scholar Yu, Xiao Xiangguo, have a good New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Master Li."

"Marshal Yang, have a good New Year."

"Happy New Year, colleagues!"

At three o'clock, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Wenzheng sacrificed to the heavens and ancestors, feasted hundreds of civil and military officials, and was busy until the afternoon. The next is the three-day rest time, the emperor does not go to court, and the officials will not be invited if they have no urgent official business, and the whole country is a time to rest and recuperate.

However, Zhao Wenzheng has not forgotten the state capital affected by the disaster, and has ordered people to allocate another batch of disaster relief food and urgently needed medicines.

Time flickered, and it was the fourteenth day of the first month. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the first lunar month is the day of bathing, and there are already people hanging lantern riddles in the plum garden, and the street market is also very lively. Guess the lantern riddles, set off the fireworks, and have a good time.

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, everyone invariably went to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms and guess the lantern riddles.

"Sister Jade, you're here too!" He Luoyi shouted with a smile.

Yu Ruyan saw that Yang Chuting's family had come to the plum garden, and Tang Yunluo happily greeted her, "Sister He, you are also here." Muchen Muyu, how many riddles have you guessed? ”

"I guessed one." Yang Muyu said with a smile.

Yang Muchen also said: "I guessed one more correctly than my sister!" ”

"You guessed what, let me hear it." Xiao Feiqing's voice came, and everyone turned around, and he was walking this way with a gentle smile.

Yu Ruyan smiled: "Why is it that everyone seems to have made an appointment, and they are all here!" ”

"Such a beautiful view, how can you live up to it!"

Everyone was startled, and they were busy saluting, but they were stopped by Zhao Wenzheng and said: "I went out of the palace today, and there are people around me, just call me Zhao Gongzi." ”

On a snowy night in the plum garden, clusters of red plums are reflected, and all kinds of lantern riddles written on colored paper float on the branches, and laughter and laughter resound throughout the plum garden.

"Brother Zhao will take you to guess the lantern riddle, okay?" Zhao Wenzheng squatted down and said to Muchen Muyu with a smile.

Yang Chuting and He Luoyi were both panicked and hurriedly said, "How can this work? My two children are naughty and tight, and I am afraid that they will give the emperor ...... Zhao Gongzi is causing trouble. ”

"It's naughty!" Zhao Wenzheng smiled, "I just like naughty children." If the two of you can guess the riddle and guess one correctly, my brother will reward you with a piece of sugar cake. ”

The two little babies clapped their hands and laughed: "Okay, good, there are sugar cakes to eat!" ”

Xiao Feiqing was still cautious, and said to Yang Chuting: "Marshal Yang, there are many people here, so it's better to be careful." ”

Yang Chuting said: "Don't worry, I will follow behind." ”

"Ruyan, let's go over there and have a look, I heard that the lantern riddles over there are good." Tang Yunluo said with a smile.

Yu Ruyan nodded and followed together.

I saw it closely, and the plum blossom tree branch hung colored paper and wrote: The golden hairpin draws the Milky Way, and faces each other across the bank. I can't bear to separate the two, and the magpie helps (to play a festival).

Yu Ruyan smiled and said, "Isn't this mystery Tanabata?" ”

I saw another piece of paper that read: The tree opens its eyes, the boy sleeps in the house, the conscience is lacking, and the sunset is left by the rabbit (playing an idiom).

"Guess what's the answer to this riddle?" Tang Yunluo asked.

Yu Ruyan snorted and said, "Can such a simple mystery stump me?" The answer is to hate to see each other late. ”

Tang Yunluo laughed and said softly: "Sure enough, he is a first-class university scholar, and his scientific reputation is well deserved!" But I have a mystery that a scholar may not be able to guess. ”

Yu Ruyan was aroused by curiosity and asked, "Let's hear it!" ”

Tang Yunluo shook his head and read: "The moth to the firefly has passed away, and the student has no children and beards, and occasionally he is left alone. ”

"What a mystery this is!" Yu Ruyan asked with a smile.

Tang Yunluo said: "Guess first!" ”

Yu Ruyan pondered his riddle carefully, and her face turned red with shame.

Tang Yunluo quipped: "Have you ever guessed it?" ”

Yu Ruyan glanced at him, her face turned red again, Tang Yunluo didn't ask anymore, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can't guess, it's good to understand in your heart." ”

Looking at Tang Yunluo's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Yu Ruyan felt a little lost in her heart, could it be that he was just teasing me? Why there is such a strange feeling, Yu Ruyan herself is not clear.

Since he's joking, I can't lose. Yu Ruyan immediately smiled and said, "I can't guess your lantern riddle, and you may not be able to guess my lantern riddle!" ”

"What lantern riddle?" Tang Yunluo smiled and asked, "Read it and listen to it." ”

Yu Ruyan said: "Yimu Yimu said in his heart that people are old acquaintances. The Yiren were locked in the deep palace, and a plum branch was buried under the snow. ”

Tang Yunluo was thinking about the mystery, and suddenly his eyes instantly became sharp, and he hugged Yu Ruyan and flew to the side. On the plum tree where the two of them were standing just now, a dark green plum blossom dart was nailed to it.

"There are assassins," Yu Ruyan muttered, "not good, the emperor ......"

Tang Yunluo hugged Yu Ruyan tightly and refused to let go, saying, "The person who came is not for the emperor, but for you!" ”

Yu Ruyan looked at Tang Yunluo in surprise, and Tang Yunluo said: "Don't worry, we have found out, he won't mess around again." ”

"Who is going to kill me?" Yu Ruyan muttered to herself.

Tang Yunluo hugged Yu Ruyan again and said coldly: "No matter who it is, he is dead!" ”

In the mansion in the capital, the old man in black looked at the person kneeling in front of him, and couldn't hide the anger in his words: "Idiot, who let you act without permission?" ”

"Master, if that woman doesn't get rid of it, sooner or later it will ruin our big thing!"

The old man snorted, "That woman is going to be killed, but not now." What more important things do you not know? If it's because of your recklessness, I can't save you! ”

"Damn it!"

The old man suppressed his anger and said, "This matter has been done well, and it will be of great benefit to us. By the way, that dark stake can now be used. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
