The first snow of winter came, and the sky was covered with a layer of white.

Ancient literati liked to make a pot of hot tea when it snowed, and make an appointment with a close friend to enjoy the snow in the pavilion.

Qian Luojin, as an elegant lady, of course, should follow suit, let the maid prepare honey tea, and warmly invited Mu Congjin to come, and the two were engrossed in playing backgammon in the pavilion.

Xie Mengxi walked over, sat next to the two of them and watched for a while, then walked away silently, and said to Dong Jing dejectedly: "The second uncle always said that I learned chess well, and he coaxed me, and I couldn't understand the number of games between the sixth prince and my cousin. ”

Xie Menghua saw Luo Jin and the Six Princes in the pavilion from a distance, bypassing it from a distance and walking briskly.

Xie Menghua's maid Chunyan followed her: "Miss, why don't you go over to say hello to the Sixth Prince?" ”

"What do you know, you don't know the rumors in the palace, the people who followed the six princes didn't end well, cousin Luo Jin...... I should also persuade if I have an opportunity. ”

Chunyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss, you are always like this, you always say that Miss Biao has dragged down the door in our house, and you can't let go of it in your heart?" ”

"Hmph, since I'm already a relative, I'm just afraid that she will drag me down even more."

Chunyan followed Xie Menghua helplessly, her young lady, the problem of the knife mouth and tofu heart can't be changed.

Xie Mengyao has a deep sisterhood, and brought a plate of dim sum to see Luo Jin, but why are the things in it all eaten by Mu Congjin?

Xie Mengyao didn't know how to play chess at all, and she didn't see the weirdness of Mu Congjin and Luo Jin's chess, Luo Jin liked to be friends with such uneducated people.

"I won again." Mu Congjin put the last sunspot on the brocade without changing color.

Seeing that there were many people in the pavilion, Xie Yanyuan and Hua Yiwen also came to join in the fun.

Seeing that it was playing chess, Xie Yanyuan's head was big, and he immediately shouted to leave: "What's so good about playing chess, second cousin, let's go fight with pigs!" ”

The second cousin in Xie Yanyuan's mouth is naturally Hua Yiwen, the children of the Xie family are used to calling Hua Yiwen uncle, Luo Jin has to muster a lot of courage every time to shout to a child: "Second cousin." ”

"It's boring, the pigs in your house have been beaten all over again, and it's not exciting at all." Hua Yiwen rejected Xie Tanyuan's offer.

Since that time Xie Tanyuan and the pig swim and got Mu Congjin's unwilled appreciation, Xie Tanyuan has become more and more courageous, and has successively competed with the pig in running, high jumping, rolling and tug-of-war, and even the speed of eating is also compared, and now even Luo Jin can't think of how to let Xie Tanyuan and the pig play.

Hua Yiwen's father used to be a student, Hua Yiwen also inherited his father's literary and artistic cells, watched Mu Congjin and Luo Jin play chess for a while, and said: "I haven't seen such a game of Go, what is this trick called?" ”

"We're playing backgammon."

"Backgammon? What is that? ”

"False ...... A kind of Weiling's chess method, none of you people understand. ”

One of the advantages of coming from the countryside is that you can classify all the things you "don't like to explain" and "don't bother to explain" into local characteristics, anyway, the transportation is not convenient, and most people will never leave the place where they live for the rest of their lives.

Luo Jin didn't expect that the seven-year-old child was flowing with curiosity, and excitedly entangled: "Teach me!" I'm going to play too! ”

Luo Jin glanced at Mu Congjin, only to see Mu Congjin raise his head and chat with Xie Mengyao about the snow scene, which means "I don't care if I do my own evil".

"Second cousin...... It's not fun at all. ”

Hua Yiwen narrowed his eyes: "Okay, if you don't teach me, I'll go and tell my cousin-in-law that it was your idea to roll in the mud in the last game with the pig." ”

"Who said no! I'm not, I'm not humble, you're serious. ”

This heavy snow came very well, and even Xie Erye, who had been in the house, had difficulty breathing, and saw several children crowded in the pavilion from a distance, and instructed the maids around him: "Go and see what they are doing." ”

The maid soon came back and replied: "Second Master Hua pestered Miss Biao and the Sixth Prince to learn to play chess." ”

Second Master Xie nodded, and said, "Send my Xiangfei wood chessboard and that set of glazed clouds." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment: "That was rewarded by the first emperor back then, and you only rewarded you when you appreciated the old lady......"

"I don't play chess anymore, what do I keep to do, that set of chess pieces is warm, and it's just right to use on a cold day...... Ahem, ahem. ”

Second Master Xie coughed violently, the maid hurriedly tied the cloak on his body tighter, and the other maid cleverly hugged Second Master Xie: "Second Master, let's go back, you can't stand the cold." ”

Xu was suffering from the cold, Xie Erye coughed non-stop when he went back, and it was not easy to drink two bowls of cold medicine, but he was like being topped by the medicine, and the whole person was unconscious.

"No, no, the second master's illness can't be done!" The first to arrive was the doctor from the Chinese medicine shop in the capital, who shook his head after giving Xie Erye a few injections.

Mrs. Xie was so angry that her crutches slammed on the ground: "You want to talk nonsense? Get out of the way that doesn't work! What's the use of hiring some quacks? What about the Imperial Doctor? What about Meng Erya? ”

Mrs. Xie was in a hurry, and Mrs. Xie was also trembling, and hurriedly explained: "The Tai Hospital wants to sign the document first, so I will first invite the doctors in the city to take a look, useless things!" Whoever asked for it and punished me together! I won't be looking for anyone to pick up Miss Meng Er anymore! At this time, it is the most important thing to appease the old lady's affection first, and Mrs. Xie is also sweating.

Several children have been brought to sit in another room, if Second Master Xie is really bad, at least the children can see their uncle for the last time.

Xie Mengxi was so frightened that she shrank in her mother's arms, and asked timidly, "Is there anything wrong with the second uncle?" ”

The nurse patted her on the back and comforted: "No, when the imperial doctor comes, the second master's illness will be cured immediately." ”

Xie Yanyuan paced around the room, and said anxiously, "Why hasn't Second Sister Meng come yet?" The next person is useless, I'll pick it up! As he spoke, he was about to go out to prepare the horse, but was stopped by the maid and hugged him: "Little ancestor, it's messy enough, if you get lost again, the people looking for the imperial doctor have to look for you." ”

"Tan Yuan! Don't mess around. Xie Menghua drank Xie Yanyuan, she has always been calm, and she is rarely so excited.

Xie Mengyao was silent, only gently wiped away the wet tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she didn't have much contact with Second Master Xie, but if you want to say that the Zhenguo Mansion has not seen her concubine, Second Master Xie is probably the only one, her second uncle has always been weird, different from others.

Qian Luojin's mind was mottled, she was already in her twenties and could fully understand the concept of death, she didn't expect this day to come so soon, she wasn't ready yet, she couldn't accept it!

"Doctor Meng has arrived!" The subordinates outside loudly announced.

Meng Erniang, whom Uncle Xie personally invited, led her into the door, Meng Erniang didn't have the heart to be polite, didn't say a word, and went straight into Xie Erye's room.

Second Master Xie's room is now impossible to let Luo Jin in, and Luo Jin called Xiuxi: "Go to the door and listen." ”

Meng Erniang saw Xie Erye lying motionless on the bed, even her own lips turned white, except for her best, she was not sure at all.

Those who decocted medicines, changed water, fetched things, and people were busy going in and out.

On this night, lanterns were lit at every gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the subordinates who received the order ran through the garden one by one. No one could sleep with their eyes closed, except for the graceful man lying on the bed, who closed his eyes tightly and refused to wake up, as if he had taken all his life's wind and bones into a dream.
