The twelfth year of Changxi, winter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The capital of the Tiansheng Dynasty, the imperial capital.

Early in the morning, the mist got up, and the thin curtain floated in the world like a cool curtain, falling on the dark red and bright glazed tiles of Qiufu in Xihua Lane, and a layer of faint pink and white, the crimson covered in the snow-colored frost flowers, it was a little more intense, giving birth to a little warm and lovely, like a frosted frozen fruit.

Jelly ......

Feng Zhi swallowed his saliva slightly and touched his belly, which suddenly began to growl.

The bright red persimmons ripe in late autumn were frozen in the first snow in early winter, and some Jiujiu best honey was added, which was contained in the Jingfeng thin tire snow porcelain cup, which was as bright as glass, and took a sip, it was cold and sweet, and a jade-like slide into the lungs, soothing the unbearable heat that lingered in her lungs.

Pity...... That seems to be the enjoyment of the previous life......

Feng Zhiwei tilted his head in fascination, sighed as if nothing, and lazily waved his broom to sweep the snow on the road into the artificial lake on the roadside.

The broom handle is cold, and there is a little frozen snow, ordinary people will feel cold when they look at it, but Feng Zhiwei is comfortable to hold it, and he only feels that the coolness is really refreshing.

There was a sudden sound of ringing bells behind him, and the rich aroma followed, Feng Zhiwei didn't look back, but he flattened the broom in his hand, and some condensed ice beads rolled on the ground in front of him.

"Yo, isn't this my Miss Feng?" The female voice behind her laughed, and there was a contemptuous chill in that smile, "Early in the morning, what are you doing?" ”

"As you can see," Feng Zhiwei turned back and gathered the broom, "sweeping the snow." ”

"How can this kind of subordinate work be done by the niece of Jin Zun Yugui?" The woman is in her twenties, her makeup is exquisite, the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, and she is smeared with a touch of silver red rouge, which is the most popular "flying makeup" in the capital this winter, "If your uncle knows, I don't know how to feel distressed." ”

Feng Zhi smiled slightly and lowered his eyelashes.

"Uncle is in a hurry, how can he bother him with such a trivial matter? It's enough to have five aunts who feel sorry for me. ”

"Also, your uncle is the governor of the five armies and the commander of the Flying Shadow Guard, and the first military general of the Tiansheng Dynasty, so he really has no spare time to take care of all the things in this backyard, you know the measure, and your aunt has to take care of you more." The fifth aunt of Qiufu, who had already fallen out of favor, looked at Feng Zhiwei and Shun's lowered face with satisfaction...... This girl has always had a good temper, no matter how she kneaded it, she would never get angry, but she couldn't imagine that the embarrassing aunt and grandmother of the Qiu family could give birth to such a gentle daughter.

"Why did my aunt come out alone today?" Feng Zhiwei stepped aside humbly, the broom was erected diagonally, and even the word "five" was omitted.

The fifth aunt was in a good mood when she heard this title, her slender fingers lazily rested on her lips, her fingers were bright red, and her eyes wandered, and she said with a smile: "It is said that someone came from the front, and maybe I need to wait...... Well, you don't have to ask. ”

Feng Zhi lowered his face slightly, expressionless...... Tiansheng Dynasty is open to the people, the royal ministers are even more prodigal ****, daily exchanges, sharing Meiji, mutual gifts of concubines is a common thing, there are many concubines in the Autumn Mansion, the five aunts are not declining and the love has been relaxed, and the autumn mansion is lonely, dressed up early this morning and quietly went to the front yard alone, eighty percent is to hear which noble person came, thinking about a "stunning encounter" or something, or a good carp turned over, change the world.

I just don't know which unlucky guy is coming.

"How can I make it happen if there is no one waiting for my aunt?" Feng Zhiwei put down the broom and reached out to help the fifth aunt, "I'll help you." ”

"Don't! You have dirty hands! The fifth aunt snapped open her hand, looked at her snow-stained fingers with disgust, and then looked at the abnormal reddish complexion between her eyebrows, and took a step back like a plague.

Feng Zhiwei smiled humbly and retracted his hand into his sleeve.

"You're fifteen years old, so it's not a problem to be in this backyard." The fifth aunt stood beside the snowdrift and glanced at her, "I'll talk to my wife another day, and match you with someone, you know, the son of Steward Liu in the front yard, I look good." ”

It's good, I've been reading it in private school for five years, and I haven't memorized the "Three Character Classic" yet.

Feng Zhiwei was still smiling, smiling more and more gently and quietly, and a pair of eyes on the yellowish complexion were misty and misty, and gradually gave birth to a little bit of charm and glamour like a streamer.

The fifth aunt glanced at her, and her heart moved...... This girl, if it weren't for her poor complexion, she would be really good-looking, no wonder some people said that she looked like that person......

But what about good looks? Such a notorious origin, still a sick seedling who does not live long, is red and empty, and is destined to bloom and fail in the mud.

She snorted coldly, feeling that she had talked enough with this girl today, and if it was the past, how could she be in such a mood to ignore her? If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Chu coming down and asking her to have a private meeting in the backyard, she would be overjoyed, and she wouldn't care about this girl's lifelong affairs.

She raised her face and snorted coldly, thinking about His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was known as the first in the beauty of the Tiansheng Dynasty, thinking that she could get out of the lonely days of Qiufu from now on, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, and she walked away.

"Uhhh

Suddenly her feet slipped, stepping on a small but slippery ice bead, the fifth lady could not stand, leaned back, she exclaimed, subconsciously reached out and scratched, her fingers were about to touch the broom stuck in the snowdrift.

Feng Zhiwei suddenly took the broom away.

The fifth aunt grabbed the air and fell to the ground with a bang, a thin layer of floating snow on the ground ice, very slippery, and the fifth aunt slipped out as soon as she landed, and in front of her, it was a cold ice lake under the harsh winter.

The fifth aunt turned around in a whirlwind and shouted in a panic: "Help me!" Help me! ”

Feng Zhiwei watched the woman slide all the way over, slowly put her hands back into her sleeves, and said gently: "Don't, my hands are dirty." ”

"Poof!"

The sound of the human body falling into the water sounded so light, Feng Zhi smiled, took a broom and walked to the shore, the fifth aunt actually knew how to be watery, struggling to flutter in the water, the water was too cold, her face instantly froze into a miserable blue color, the oily and slippery bun fell down, wet and sticky to the face, like a black moving snake, she seemed to be frozen so that she couldn't scream, and seemed to know that Feng Zhiwei would not save her, only desperately swimming to the shore.

Feng Zhiwei squatted on the shore and looked at it calmly, this place is already remote, there was something going on early in the morning, and no one would come, the fifth aunt lost her mind and went crazy from here, she was really looking for death.

The drenched man swam over, and his trembling fingers were just about to touch the shore, when Feng Zhiwei's broom flicked it lightly and pushed it away.

This one, for the mother.

When the mother returned to Qiufu with her sister and brother, knelt in front of the door of Qiufu for three days and three nights, on the third day the door opened, a basin of footwashing water was poured out, and the footbasin behind the door was the maidservant of the fifth aunt.

It was also a snowy day, colder than today, she knelt behind her mother, watching the footwashing water freeze little by little on her mother's hair, and afterwards her mother had a high fever for three days and three nights, and almost lost her life.

…… The fifth aunt swam over for the second time, and the lake caused a large ripple, and her movements were much slower, and her fingers stiffened to grasp a stone on the shore.

Feng Zhiwei stretched out his broom and pushed the fifth aunt out.

This top, for herself.

Steward Liu is a distant relative of the fifth aunt, and he took a fancy to her early, first begged to marry her as a continuation wife, and then asked for a stupid son to marry after being rejected, and dared to fight the idea of sharing a daughter between father and son, and the mother made trouble until the uncle, and the father and son stopped a little, but just a few days ago, Steward Liu blocked her in an old house where no one went, if she didn't carry scissors with her, the current Feng Zhiwei would either be the wife of the father and son, or be kicked out of the autumn mansion because of her virginity.

…… The fifth aunt swam over for the third time, and the woman was actually a little fierce and fierce, and she no longer tried to grab the stones on the shore, but suddenly grabbed the broom, hugged her body and pulled it down.

"Poof!"

Feng Zhi was slightly caught off guard and was pulled into the lake by her!

The cold water of the lake instantly surrounded her whole body, she shivered, thinking that she was going to be frozen immediately, but after the initial cold passed, the endless heat flow in her body suddenly surged, flowing all over her body like a fountain, and the cold outside her body struck, neutralizing into a hot spring-like temperature, rushing and stretching between the blood meridians, she actually felt warm and comfortable, as if soaking in hot water.

Feng Zhi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously touched her heart, she had inexplicable internal fever since she was a child, always depressed, burning like fire, very greedy, the doctor asserted that she would not live to be twenty years old, in the eyes of everyone, she was a dying person.

This disease...... Probably heavier, right? Even the lake doesn't feel cold in winter.

The scalp suddenly tightened, and the woman on the side grabbed her hair, Feng Zhiwei turned his head, and saw the face that had already revealed a dead color, with a pale and hideous smile, and his fingers were tightly entangled in her hair like vines, trying to sink with her.

Feng Zhi tilted his head slightly and smiled at her.

"Bang."

The snow light of the scissors flashed on the turquoise lake, and a strand of black hair fell slowly on the water, floating away in a clear way.

The fifth aunt who caught an empty one couldn't support it anymore, and her head was the last to show on the water, and she sank silently.

Feng Zhiwei kicked on top of her head and kicked her deeper - since she was destined to die, she might as well die faster.

With this force, she jumped upwards and pulled her wet hair in the water—the lake soaked her so hot that she felt so light and clear that she didn't want to leave.

So she soaked in the water, thinking about the aftermath of the incident—how to hide the traces on the shore, how to explain to her mother that her hair had suddenly shortened and her clothes were soaked.

None of this was a problem for her, and after a while she reached for the rocks on the shore and prepared to go ashore, when she accidentally swept the corner of her eye into the water, and her body suddenly froze.

A slender reflection of a fluttering garment is reflected on the mirror-like water.
