Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Visitor After the Snow

There was only a heavy snowfall in the mountains yesterday, and the winding mountain road of Lingwu Mountain is even more thrilling in such weather.

An Yang drove the car carefully, although he was driving an off-road vehicle, but because of the mirror-like ice surface on the road, his wheels were always slippery.

"You, if you have to come today, you won't be able to wait for the snow to melt!" An Yang complained to his wife sitting in the passenger seat while driving.

Qi Yali's appearance was very different from that of autumn, and she had finally regained the charm of a thirty-year-old woman. The skin is no longer dull, and under the wig, the black hair is growing little by little.

"For tonight's banquet, Liu Zhao must be invited to be there! If it weren't for her, I would probably be ......," Qi Yali muttered. If it weren't for the magic pill that Liu Zhao gave her, she would probably have become a wisp of ghost by now.

A month ago, Qi Yali had a comprehensive examination in the hospital, and the results showed that except for the removed uterus, all the indicators of her body were normal, which showed that she was already a normal person!

In order to celebrate her recovery, the An family invited relatives and friends and decided to hold a grand banquet.

Qi Yali always remembered Liu Zhao's favor to her, and decided to personally invite Liu Zhao to attend her celebration, so there was An Yang's thrilling trip to the mountain road.

They drove for more than two hours, which usually takes only an hour to reach!

When An Yang parked the car in front of the small courtyard of Liu Zhao's house with gray tiles and white walls, Qi Yali was shocked by the quaint courtyard in front of her.

Although because of the winter, the mountain is a world of ice and snow. And this quiet courtyard, this closed vermilion wooden door, but it makes people feel as if they are in the last century, standing in front of the high gate.

An Yang gently buckled the copper ring of the gate, but Qi Yali's eyes were still looking at the exquisite beast-shaped sculptures on the eaves of the small courtyard, and sighed at the skillful hands of the craftsmen of the previous dynasty.

It is a large flower that answers the door. It opened the courtyard door with its paws, and knew that An Yang was an acquaintance, so it just meowed lightly, turned around and returned to the eaves of the main house, and continued to nap.

Qi Yali looked at the black-brown tanuki, which was twice as big as a normal cat, and hid behind An Yang in horror.

"It's okay, my big flower is just a little bigger, but it's actually very docile!" Liu Zhao walked out of the hall, wearing a pink embroidered satin tunic jacket on his upper body, and a bright silver floor-length cotton skirt on his lower body, with an oblique plum blossom embroidered on the skirt foot, and a small piece of pink embroidered shoe tip could be vaguely seen under the cotton skirt.

The close-fitting small padded jacket and classical embroidered skirt set off Liu Zhao's slender figure to be tall and slender.

Seeing Qi Yali, who was in good spirits, Liu Zhao's smile spread from his eyes to the corners of his mouth. She stretched out her hand from afar to meet Qi Yali with a stunning face, and as she walked, the pink lotus-shaped hairpin that was diagonally inserted on her head trembled slightly.

"Liu Zhao, you really look like a fairy in the mountains, dusty and crystal clear!" Qi Yali admired from the bottom of her heart, and also stretched out her hands and hugged Liu Zhao.

In An Yang's eyes, the amber streamer was layered. Every time Liu Zhao hit his heart with a different image, and each time it made him more excited. Even when his respected wife was by his side, he couldn't suppress the love in his eyes.

"It's so cold and the ground is so slippery, why did you come all the way to the mountains?" Liu Zhao glanced at An Yang, who was stunned at him, with slight disgust, and immediately turned his head to Qi Yali's gentle eyes.

"I must ask An Yang to drive to you, first, to see your new home, and second, to invite you to my family's banquet tonight." Liu Zhao's delicate facial features and water-like temperament made Qi Yali, who was also a woman, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Come inside! On such a cold day, your body is still recovering, how can you stand it? Liu Zhao felt the coldness in Qi Yali's hands, and pulled her into the warm hall.

The weather after the snow was exceptionally clear, and it was now nearly noon, and the warm winter sun was shining through the window edge in the main house where the fire dragon was burning, and the house was as warm as spring.

On the desk in the hall, there is still a portrait of Liu Zhao's grandmother, and in the vase on both sides, there are blooming plum blossoms, and the cold plum fragrance permeates the living room.

Qi Yali, who was born in a big family, has never seen such a classical room, nor has she ever experienced the elegant atmosphere of a truly orderly family. As soon as she entered the house, she was impressed by the simplicity and nobility of the room, and was full of praise.

"Ah, Liu Zhao, I didn't expect this real courtyard to be so comfortable, I don't want to go back to you!"

"Okay, then stay at my house for a few days, but you'll have to cook your own food." Liu Zhao invited An Yang and his wife to sit down on a large mahogany chair covered with purple and black pulp, and he took out a set of purple sand tea sets from the next room and began to boil water to make tea.

The tea is Pu'er tea that has been treasured for more than ten years, and the water is mountain spring water in the mountains. For a while, the cold fragrance of plum blossoms in the house was mixed with the orchid fragrance of Pu'er mellow tea, which was really fragrant.

The warm tea flows smoothly through the throat, and when the stomach feels warm, the aroma of orchids comes out in the mouth.

"Good tea!" Qi Yali couldn't help but admire again.

"It's all old Pu'er that grandma has saved over the years, of course it's good tea!" Liu Zhao accepted the praise honestly and unceremoniously.

Because her grandmother likes to drink Pu'er, there are several large jars of purple sand in one of her rooms, each of which is full of Pu'er tea cakes.

Liu Zhao looked up at the cloisonné enamel table clock sitting on the wall, it was already eleven o'clock, and she smiled briskly: "Oh, it seems that I, a person who doesn't like to cook, should cook again!" ”

"Let's go to the resort hotel for lunch!" An Yang knew that Liu Zhao didn't like the smell of oil smoke, so he immediately suggested.

"What words? It's a guest from afar, and besides, Sister Yali comes to my house for the first time, so she has to eat at home! Liu Zhao shook his head and insisted that they stay at home for dinner.

"Okay, you're welcome, I'll cook with Liu Zhao, so be it!" Qi Yali has never been a hypocritical person, and she generously accepted Liu Zhao's invitation at the moment.

"That's right! An Yang, go and sit in the study by yourself for a while, there are a few books in the family collection, you can take a look at them casually. Liu Zhao pointed out the door to the study to An Yang, and then pulled Qi Yali towards the east wing, which was converted into an open kitchen and dining room by Liu Zhao.

Walking along the small corridor under the eaves with Qi Yali, when the two walked past Dahua, Liu Zhao was discussing lunch dishes with Qi Yali.

When Dahua heard that Liu Zhao was going to the kitchen to cook, her green cat's eyes suddenly widened, and she glared at Qi Yali fiercely. With that sharp look, Qi Yali, who was already afraid of cats, hid behind Liu Zhao again.

"Meow!" Dahua screamed dissatisfiedly, Liu Zhao knew that Dahua felt sorry for her cooking herself, and she had no way to help, so she spread her anger on Qi Yali, who came to be a guest.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Liu Zhao comforted the frightened Qi Yali and walked straight into the kitchen.
