The next day, when Xue Qingyi got up, there were snowflakes in the sky, which was the first snow in early winter this year. The snow was not falling heavily, so Leling picked a few plum blossoms from the yard and put them in a celadon vase.

The plum blossoms stood proudly, and the pink plum petals were stained with a few snowflakes. After the crystal snowflakes melted, this plum blossom looked even more delicate and lush, pink and attractive, and Xue Qingyi was also in a good mood.

After freshening up, Xue Qingyi drank some porridge, then went to the courtyard to pick a few plums with Le Ling, put them in a blue-bottomed ice plum porcelain bottle, and prepared to go to the Pinwentang in the East Courtyard to visit Azu.

Before going out, in order to keep out the cold, Le Ling specially added a brocade wool cloak for Xue Qingyi, and Xue Qingyi's whole person was wrapped in the cloak, revealing only a crystal clear little face, and the watery eyes were as clear and clear as morning dew.

Le Ling took the hand warmer and handed it to Xue Qingyi, and then walked all the way to the east courtyard with the Bingmei porcelain bottle and Xue Qingyi. Pieces of snowflakes fell in the sky, softly, Xue Qingyi stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes melted in his hand in a moment. Xue Qingyi looked at the melting snowflakes in his hand, but his thoughts drifted far away.

In the winter of that year, it was also such a snow day, Ling'er sat with her in the Begonia Courtyard, admiring the snow and tasting plums, which was the first time she heard her mention her family after she rescued Ling'er.

She said that it often snows in her hometown, and she likes to sit in the yard and look at the snowflakes in a daze on a snowy day like this. At that time, she looked lonely, she talked about her father, King Jing of Northern Qi, about her poor and humble mother, and about her unhappy past in Northern Qi.

She asked her if she wanted to go home, and she said she didn't. She said that after her mother's death, it could no longer be called home, and that she was not even a lowly slave there.

Since then, she has never heard Ling'er talk about her family.

"Little lady, Pinwentang has arrived." Le Ling's words made Xue Qingyi's thoughts flutter back to reality.

The little boy standing under the eaves saw Xue Qingyi and Le Ling coming, hurriedly got out of the way and opened the door directly for the two of them.

Xue Qingyi and Le Ling walked in, Xue Qingshan heard the movement and put down the sheep hair in his hand, raised his head, saw that it was Xue Qingyi, and said happily, "Qing'er, you came just in time, Azu just wrote a calligraphy and painting, can you come and take a look?" ”

Xue Qingshan, the Duke of Dingguo, has always had the habit of getting up early to write calligraphy and painting since he was young, and this habit has been maintained. In his previous life, Xue Qingyi would always get up early and accompany him to polish ink and appreciate paintings.

Xue Qingyi heard Xue Qingshan's words, untied the cloak on his body, handed it to Le Ling on the side, and took the porcelain vase containing plum blossoms and put it in front of the bookcase, and said, "Azu, it's already snowing outside, wait a minute to enjoy the calligraphy and painting, Azu will accompany me to the courtyard to sit, and I'll make you tea to drink, it's okay." ”

"Good, good, good." Xue Qingshan's face was full of red light, and he said again and again, with Qing'er at home, Xue Qingshan only felt comforted and happy.

"Qing'er, you see, the calligraphy and painting written by Azu today is Yan Dajia's "Yan Qing Tower Tablet". Xue Qingshan Road.

Xue Qingshan's font fluttered and sprinkled, as upright as his personality.

Xue Qingyi took the calligraphy and painting, and praised it after careful observation. "Azu, Qing'er hasn't seen you for a few days, and your calligraphy and painting are lean again."

After listening to Xue Qingyi's words, Xue Qingshan stroked his beard and smiled, Qing'er is finally fine, and in the future, their ancestors and grandchildren will be able to enjoy poetry and painting together.

Suddenly, Xue Qingyi saw a picture of a pine crane on the stall in front of the bookcase, and the familiar painting style made Xue Qingyi's eyes pierc. She put down the "Yanqing Tower Tablet" in her hand, pointed to the pine crane picture with a trembling hand and said, "Ah Gong, where did you get this calligraphy and painting?" ”

"Is Qing'er talking about this picture of a pine crane? Do you think this picture of the pine crane is also quite good? Xue Qingshan said with a smile, "This was given to me by a new student I met in Jinling Academy a few days ago. The **** came to the house as a guest, and it happened that you woke up from your illness, so I directly asked him to leave calligraphy and paintings. No, it's too late to take a good look at it. ”

Xue Qingshan broke off, his eyes were full of appreciation, "This student is not only first-class in literature, but also very deferential. It's a good little Langjun. ”

Hearing this, Xue Qingyi's brows frowned slightly, and her fingers clenched tightly into fists. Cui Yuan, he really didn't give up, he actually went to the Dingguo Mansion so quickly and found Azu.

And he won Azu's trust so quickly, seeing Azu's praise for him and his smiling appearance, he obviously had a good impression of him.

"Azu, have you known this student for a long time? How did he find our Dingguo Mansion? Xue Qingyi asked.

It didn't take long for this young man to be unlucky, because Wu didn't like his calligraphy and painting, and he lost the calligraphy and painting competition held in Yingke not long ago. The average young man would have been slumped by such a big blow, but he did not get depressed, and it didn't take long for him to recover. I also specially took calligraphy and paintings for me to taste, this young man has perseverance and hard work, Azu is very optimistic about him"

Perseverance, hard work? Xue Qingyi sneered in his heart, and his face was covered with a layer of frost. Ambitious, scheming, true. Unexpectedly, he had only known Azu for a short time, and he won Azu's favor so quickly.

The defeat did not make him lose confidence, but prompted him to bet all his hopes on the heads of the Dingguo Mansion and Azu.

Xue Qingyi's hand clenched into a fist clenched again, her heart was extremely angry, but she still suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Now there have been rumors in the market that some students are deliberately approaching some dignitaries in order to get ahead, Azu, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, we are not familiar with this student, should you be wary of him?" Xue Qingyi reminded.

Xue Qingshan was very unhappy when he heard this, and reproached, "Qing'er, when did you also learn hearsay and become so defensive against others, that young man is not as bad as you imagined." ”

Azu rarely said anything serious to him, but he didn't expect that this time he actually blamed her for Cui Yuan, looking at Azu's expression, he obviously didn't take her words to heart, Xue Qingyi sighed in her heart, she couldn't tell Azu the truth.

I was really aggrieved in my heart, and there was no smile on my face, and Xue Qingyi fell silent.

Azu usually looks very good at talking, but he is extremely stubborn. Cui Yuan's matter, Azu's side seems to be unreasonable.
