Chapter 17: Merlin's Farewell

Since the first heavy snowfall in Brother Xuan's birth, it has snowed several times in Yizhou, which is very rare in the south. And I heard a letter from Jingli saying that it had been snowing heavily in the north for a month, and people outside were panicked, and Chu Jinmin was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

Thanks to the heavy snow, Sister Xuan's boudoir also had a holiday, and Li Yuyi's embroidery master also had to go home for the New Year, Sister Xuan wrote a letter to propose a plum appreciation party, Li Yuyi is an elegant person who naturally agrees, Sister Hui may not have gone out for a long time, so she also went to Qin's to reply to the letter.

"On such a cold day, the cold wind goes straight into the cracks in the bones, so you have to be careful when you go out." Qin Shi lay on the couch and coughed several times before speaking slowly.

Sister Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help Shunqi, and everyone hid it from her, she also knew that giving birth to Brother Xuan's brother Qin was completely hollowed out, although she didn't know what kind of life and death cycle she had experienced, it can be seen that Chu Jinmin had never been to the two aunts again, and the Qin family's three meals a day decoction had not been broken, so she understood that she was afraid that the Qin family was really weak.

"Mother, if I go back, Sister Xuan won't go, the weather has been getting colder and colder these days, and your cough is getting worse and worse."

"I don't know how to worry at a young age, what do you look like when you frown every day, you just want to be your second lady happily, you still have your mother to support you in everything, and you don't like to be a little adult all day long?" Qin smiled and touched Sister Hui'er's bag and said.

Sister Hui hurriedly shook her head: "My mother is in her prime, where is she old, but my daughter thinks that she should sleep more when she is sick, and when she wakes up, there will be nothing to do." ”

"Okay, go and reply to Sister Xuan'er, my mother will go to sleep."

"Yes, mother." Sister Hui saw Qin lying on the bed with her own eyes, closed her eyes and breathed evenly, and then looked at Brother Xuan, who was sleeping soundly on the side, and then slowly walked out of the main room and returned to her room.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the plum blossoms of the Li Mansion are in full bloom, this is the first time that Sister Hui has come to the Li Mansion, only to see that the luxury is different from the Jiang Mansion and the strict rules of the Chu Mansion, it looks like a mountain hut, chic and elegant.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits, the front is where Lord Li and a group of Qing guests live, and the backyard is the residence of Mrs. Li and Li Yuyi, which is cleaner than here in Chu Mansion.

The scholar who also started from an ordinary farming and reading family finally became famous, but he married a childhood sweetheart, and the daughter of a local petty official is Mrs. Li, but it is really rare that over the years, not to mention that the aunt is a roomboy, there is no one. A family of three lives in Sister Hui'er's view, which is happy and happy. It's just that in the eyes of the people of the time, it was a great misfortune, because Mrs. Li had no son, only one daughter.

"My family washes the inkstone pond tree, and all the flowers bloom with light ink marks.

Don't let people praise the good color, just flow clear and full of energy. (Wang Mian, "Momei")

In a plum forest, there is only a small bamboo table, a tea set on it, a few wisps of green smoke coming out of the small stove, and a silver fox fur with a cool face and a faint color of the city look at the plum bush and chant softly. Just like the fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, Sister Hui only feels a little like walking in the fairyland when she walks in the plum forest.

"Hey, whose rule is this, why don't the guests come to the host first?" Sister Xuan'er's crisp voice broke the tranquility, but it had a little more earthly atmosphere.

"You, how can you not even learn a little bit of fur taught by the boudoir, how can you offend the master's family before you enter the master's door." Li Yuyi pointed at Sister Xuan with a rare smile and replied.

"Let's go, let's not talk about it, lest you won't let me and Sister Hui enter the door, but today I saw your jar of 'top tea' and came here."

"What is 'Absolute Tea'?" Sister Hui asked

"The world says: 'Asan has many herbs, and tea is especially good, which is different from the world. After the Heishui Temple is the top tea produced today, the taste is good and the two years are white and one year is green, and there are often between them. This top tea is a few tea trees growing on the cliff behind the Heishui Temple on Mount Emei, and the people of Manyizhou are reluctant to ask for a thousand dollars, but only Lord Li can get such a jar every year. ”

"Why is that?"

"Then I don't know, but I have to ask Ayi." Sister Xuan shook her head and pointed at Li Yuyi.

Sister Hui looked at Li Yuyi suspiciously, but saw that Li Yuyi's face was rarely a little crimson, and her expression was a little embarrassed, but she said in her mouth: "The son does not say anything about the father's fault." ”

Li Yuyi is a good boy and can't lie, I think it was Master Li who didn't do that very "elegant" thing at that time, and Li Yuyi didn't want to lie to them, so he said this.

"I'm going to taste such a good tea." Sister Hui pulled Sister Xuan to sit down and changed the topic.

Li Yuyi made a move, staring at the work at hand with a focused expression, every action she made was like a smooth flow, which was very pleasing to the eye, and Sister Hui and Sister Xuan also had a relishing expression

"This first cup will be tasted by Sister Hui'er first, thank you for giving me the Antarctic Fairy Gu poetry collection."

Sister Hui is embarrassed, Li Yuyi has always been better to her for so long, and she always says that it is the credit of that book.

"I gave Ayi a collection of poems, and there is no utilitarian benefit in it, and Ayi will not be kind to Zhenhui because of that book in the future." Sister Hui took the tea, tasted it carefully, and then said slowly

She thought it would be better to make it clear, and she was really embarrassed to be "affectionate and friendly" in exchange for such a broken book.

"You idiot girl, where is she close to you because of that book, but because she likes you, if it is that book, I will give her a lot and I don't see her treat me differently." Sister Xuan laughed on the table and pointed at Sister Hui.

Li Yuyi glanced at Sister Xuan'er, then at Sister Hui'er, smiled slightly, and drank tea by herself without explaining.

Sister Hui blushed and muttered, "Ayi, it's Zhenhui who is narrow-minded." ”

stood up and bowed solemnly after learning from Xu's mother.

Li Yuyi waited for Sister Hui to finish, and then stood up and replied with a half-salute, "You and I are in love, I have no sisters in my family, I have a cold temperament since I was a child, I like you to be empathetic, Sister Xixuan is lively and hearty, if you two are willing, I am willing to marry Jinlan as you are, as close as sisters." ”

Sister Xuan also stood up and saluted the two, smiling heartily: "There are many sisters in my family, but it is better to have none, and now it is my honor to have a sister and a sister." ”

Sister Hui looked at the two of them and nodded.

So the three of them drank a cup of "top tea" together, knelt facing Merlin, performed the salute of the emperor and the queen of heaven, and made an oath to each other to be regarded as a joint Jinlan.

Everyone thought that they were used to it, and the title had not changed, but they still ranked each other according to their age, Ayi felt that he was worshipping in his own merry, so he called the girl to take a string of jadeite carved plum blossom ornaments, a string of three, the flowers are exquisite, the jade is transparent, not to mention, the stamens are lifelike.

"This string of jade pendants was given by the abbot of the Black Mountain Temple when I was three years old, and I want to have my own fate in the dark, it is exactly three, and one of us is also a token."

Sister Xuan and Sister Hui nodded when they saw each other.

Who knows, in the next ten years, whether they have changed the gold jade or ayaluo, only the jade plum on their waists can't be changed.
