The flowers bloomed two and one on each branch, and as soon as Xie An took Aimo and Xiaomei back that day, Grandma Xie took them back to the house. Because Xiaomei could only walk on the ground, she didn't have a chance to say anything to Grandma Xie along the way.

Later, Xie An also privately instructed Aimo Aiyan to keep an eye on Xiaomei, and after a few days, he didn't find that she took the opportunity to run to the grandmother's yard or find the little maid to pass the word or something, and everyone gradually relaxed.

This snow is three days at a time, which is a phenomenon that has not been encountered in the capital for ten years.

Fortunately, Xie An is now quite valued in the Xie family, and the eldest lady has already sent someone to send silver silk carbon several times, and the earth dragon is also burning vigorously, so she is better. Although Xie An is a southerner, he can't enjoy the indoor spring brought by the heating in the north in winter, but the air conditioning is on 24 hours a day. Now in ancient times, I only felt that the cracks of the door were leaking, and there was no electric blanket, so I asked Ai Yan to pour the soup woman and put it on the quilt. When no one is around, he covers a few quilts and snuggles on the bed to read, and if the grandmother comes, he will dress himself like a ball and hold the stove to deal with her.

On this day, as soon as Grandma Xie left, Xie An also took off the crane and planned to go back to bed to rest for a while, but Aimo brought back a message.

Since Aimo knew that Bai Lian was a person who knew how to repay her kindness, he poured out his heart and lungs for her. The weather has been cold these days, and Bai Lian is not like her, a big girl, who can stay in Xie Anyi's room all the time, she and other maids live in the inverted room in the courtyard, which is already not well lit, and now it is as cold as an ice cellar. Aimo discussed it with Ai Yan and took out a quilt to give her to keep out the cold at night.

Who knew that when she entered the room, she found that Bai Lian was not there, and another rough maid was secretly wiping her tears, and only after questioning did she know that she heard the little girl who received night incense every day say that it was snowing not only in the capital, but also in various areas. Especially in the Shanhua area, where the snow was five feet deep, it is said that six people in a large mansion froze to death overnight. And this maid's family is Shanhua, she is very worried, so she hides in the room and cries.

Because Xie An had also instructed Aimo to report anything to her, Aimo immediately ran over as soon as she heard about it.

"Girl, the slave has never seen such a big snow."

Xie An also rolled his eyes in his heart: "Nonsense, my mother has stayed in modern and ancient times, and it is the first time I have seen such a big snow." But what she said was, "It seems that this is a snow disaster." ”

She remembered the modern snowstorm, when more than 100 people died in the country, not to mention the loss of crops, houses, livestock, etc., which is still in modern society.

Nowadays, in ancient times, science and technology were quite underdeveloped, so to speak, there was no technology, and the casualties and losses were not known to be heavy.

At this time, she didn't know that this snow disaster was closely related to her fate.

……

Just after lunch, Mrs. Xie sent someone to invite her to go. Xie An was also puzzled, this Mrs. Xie had never acted like this, could it be that something urgent had happened? But it's useless to talk to her about emergencies, she can't do anything, she can't help anything.

Entering the flower hall, except for Master Xie and Xie Anbang, everyone had already arrived. But everyone's face was sad, and the entire flower hall was filled with a bleak atmosphere.

Seeing that Xie An had also arrived, before she could salute, Mrs. Xie, who was dressed in red, called her to her side and handed her a letter.

This letter was written by Xie Zhili, the third master of Xie San, to the old man Xie and Mrs. Xie, saying that Xie An also chose this time, if she was selected to enter the palace, it would be good, if she was not selected, she also wanted to find a husband for her in Beijing. In two years, Xie Anmin will also marry into the Meng family, and he is preparing to ask the eldest master to help him take care of it and transfer the third master Xie to Beijing as an official. Unexpectedly, he received a decree from the emperor and asked him to return to Beijing to report on his work. So Master Xie San took Wang and Xie Anmin and set off into Beijing. Because of the slow journey with the female dependents, he sent a small servant to report the news first.

"This little guy is not angry, but when he entered Beijing, he had a cold and fell asleep for seven days, and only today did he deliver this letter to me." Mrs. Xie sighed, and then said, "Count the days, your father and they should have arrived in the capital yesterday, but there is no news now." The little guy said that it was snowing along the road, and that there were some victims gathered outside the city, so he was afraid that your father would ...... them on the road."

Before Mrs. Xie finished speaking, Grandma Xie stood up and comforted: "Mother, don't scare the seventh sister, the third uncle's family will definitely be auspicious and safe." Xu is delayed on the road, and it is too late. ”

"Don't comfort me, if something happened, I would have sent someone to report it a long time ago."

When the grandmother heard this, she was also silent. Mrs. Xie is right, if there is nothing to do, people should have arrived a long time ago. If something is delayed on the road, I will definitely send someone back to report safety. Like now, there is a chance that something will happen.

"The lord and Anbang were called into the palace by the saint overnight yesterday, and before leaving, they said that it might be because of the snow disaster. Until now, I haven't sent a small servant back to report, looking at this posture, if you can't think of a perfect plan, you will want to get out of the palace. There is no one in the house who has an idea now, just a few of our women's families, but the more we get to this matter, what can we do? "It seems that Mrs. Xie is really a little anxious.

Xie An didn't feel much of it, after all, she had never seen that cheap father. What's more, she grew up listening to the story of "Cinderella", how could she have feelings and fantasies about her stepmother and stepsister. Although she didn't want anything to happen to them, she didn't want to live with them in her heart.

Seeing that Xie An hadn't spoken yet, Grandma Xie was a little anxious, and said tentatively: "It's a pity that my father and Xianggong are not there, otherwise write a few letters and send people to send them to the county orders along the way, or send people to find them along the road." ”

Mrs. Xie also took over the conversation and said, "It's a pity that the master and An Bang don't know when they will be released from the palace, I'm afraid it's too late......"

After speaking, the two of them didn't finish speaking, but just looked at Xie Anyi in unison.

"It's forcing me to take a stand." Xie An also said in his heart. She knew very well that this was actually her third room, and the missing person was her biological father, and even if she was allowed to die, she had to find out their whereabouts, otherwise it would be a big unfilial piety.

"Big lady, grandma, what do you think is good? In addition to the eldest lord and cousin in this capital, who else can save my father? Xie An was also in a hurry.

Sure enough, Grandma Xie was not in a hurry when she saw her like this, and said slowly: "I know that there is someone who can help find the third uncle." ”

"Who is it?"

"Prince Li."
