Chapter 8 Listen to the Snow Falling
It's no wonder that Cheng Wei, who is still childish, thinks of her grandmother like this, she can't forget that when she was eight years old, because she suddenly had a father and a pair of younger siblings, she was so annoyed that she came to her grandfather's house to live, and one day she was upset and climbed to the tree to pick peaches and throw them to play, and there was a grandmother who was smashing into the garden and wandering in the arms.
Cheng Wei was ready to be reprimanded, and even rebelled to cry to vent her depression for days, but she didn't want her grandmother to pick up a peach and take a bite, throw it on the ground and say that it was not sweet, and asked her: "Does Wei'er know what kind of peach is the sweetest?" ”
Cheng Wei shook his head blankly, and saw his grandmother lift the hem of her skirt and stuff it into her belt, and climbed to the tree in three or two clicks, picked a big pink peach on the tip of the peach tree and showed it to Cheng Wei, and then the grandfather and grandson crushed the old peach tree and fell down in the screams of the maids.
The peaches were ripe in that season, so the peaches fell like raindrops, although the two of them were not injured or smashed, but Cheng Wei took a bath three times and could vaguely smell the smell of peaches on his body, and he always felt that the peach hair was not washed off, which made the maid scratch it all night.
Other people's bear children climbed trees to attract more reprimands, and she climbed the tree to attract a grandmother!
This incident left a slightly bigger psychological shadow on Cheng Wei, and she has never climbed a tree again!
Cheng Wei's premonition soon came true, and he heard Han's anger say: "Mother, Zhi'er's little coming-of-age ceremony, how can Wei'er follow the past!" ”
Different from the official crowning, this kind of small coming-of-age ceremony is only popular in the capital area, and the unwritten rules are not easy to see even for girls who are close to each other.
The old lady's face was slightly gloomy, she glared at Han, and muttered, "You are not absent from the little coming-of-age ceremony of your two elder brothers!" Why is it Wei'er's turn, it doesn't work this way, it doesn't work, it doesn't work? ”
Although these words were whispered, they were heard because Tao and Han were the closest. Han Shi felt that he had lost face in front of his eldest sister-in-law, and it was not good to have a hard face with his mother, so an eye knife flew towards Cheng Wei and reprimanded: "What are you still doing standing here, go play with your second sister and cousins." ”
The people present have been in contact for many years, and they have long been surprised by this, only the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, standing behind the person, looked at Cheng Wei with a little sympathy.
Cheng Wei let go of the old lady's hand and lowered her eyes: "Grandmother, that Wei'er is waiting for you here." ”
The old lady glanced at Han helplessly, raised her hand and stroked Cheng Wei's hair lovingly: "Wait here for your grandmother to do something, your eldest cousin has finished the little coming-of-age ceremony, your grandfather and they all go to drink, let's listen to the play, your little girl's family doesn't like to listen to this, let's go listen to Xuelin first." ”
The little coming-of-age ceremony is not as good as the coronation ceremony, and the ordinary children and grandchildren are not present, but Han Zhi is the son of the prince of Weiguo, the eldest son and grandson, and his identity is different. Rao is so, after watching the ceremony, the elders or gather or disperse as they like, as for the same generation, it will be entertained by today's protagonist, and the place of hospitality is the famous Tingxue Forest in the capital of the Weiguo Mansion.
After the old lady finished speaking, she raised her eyes and crossed the crowd and fell on the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl: "Qiuhua, take care of the sisters for Zhi'er first." ”
The girl smiled and said, "Grandmother don't worry, Qiuhua will definitely entertain her sisters." ”
The old lady turned around with confidence and went out surrounded by everyone.
Soon only the little girls were left in the flower hall, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Oh, I'm finally able to listen to Xuelin, big cousin, I've been looking forward to it for a long time." The girl who spoke was fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in pink and green dress, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and was the maiden niece of the Duchess of Weiguo, Tao's maiden niece, and her maiden name was Xinyi.
"Look at you, you're in a hurry." The girl next to Tao Xinyi covered her mouth and teased.
Tao Xinyi said angrily: "Lord Lan, you still laugh at me!" I can't compare to you, I can come here whenever I want. If it weren't for my cousin's birthday, maybe I wouldn't have come here until spring. ”
Tao's maiden home is in Jiayang, although it is not far from the capital, but it is not as convenient as living in the capital.
"How can I come if I want to come, my mother said that I am older, not as old as when I was a child, these days I am detained to do needlework, you look at the needle eye on my finger!" Lord Lan spread his hands.
Cheng Wei couldn't help but look over, only to see the girl's white and tender fingers like shallots, the eye of the needle ...... Sorry, Xu is standing far away, she didn't find it!
"It's true, in fact, you just don't learn, and it doesn't matter in the future."
Lord Lan covered his mouth and sighed: "Mother said that even if you don't need it in the future, you will be able to do it." It's better to be an older brother, and it doesn't matter how much trouble you make now. ”
It turned out that the lord of Lanjun was the sister of the little overlord Rong Xin, his father was Wang Shizi, and his brother was the grandson, and he was more noble than other girls in Jingwangfu when he was born.
"It's still the princess who said it makes sense, no wonder the county lord is outstanding." The two girls who were sitting in the corner and teasing Cheng Wei surrounded them.
Lord Lan put down his hand and curled the corners of his mouth reservedly, which was considered to be a response, but his attitude was much colder than before.
Han Qiuhua, who had never spoken up, said lightly: "Sisters, come with me first." ”
Speaking of this, he deliberately stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Wei, and smiled at Cheng Yao: "Cousin Yao, you and Cousin Xinyi haven't seen each other for a few days, she has asked a few times before, you have a good time, just let Cousin Wei and me be your companion." ”
Cheng Yao smiled gently: "Then I will have to bother my eldest cousin to take care of the third sister for me." ”
"What do you say about taking care of it or not, I'm a few years older than you, and you little girls who are with me will definitely be bored, so I have to grieve my cousin."
After saying this, the girls present chuckled, and everyone put on their cloaks and gathered together with good relations on weekdays, and walked towards Tingxuelin, which was located in the northeast corner of the Guogong Mansion.
Listening to the snow forest, as the name suggests, should be a place to enjoy the snow scene, but it is the plum scenery that you can enjoy in the Weiguo Mansion.
Every winter, hundreds of plum trees bloom together, white plum green stamen, jade ice clear, the petals fall after the wind passes through the branches, the people who look at it from afar can not distinguish whether it is plum or snow, can only close their eyes and smell lightly, judge by the fragrance of plum, listen to the snow forest so named.
Close your eyes and smell the fragrance of plums, and listen to the snow falling.
Although the Weiguo Mansion is a military heirloom, the Duchess of Weiguo Tao is an elegant person, and the plum poetry meeting held every year is very lively and has gradually become a grand scene.
Cheng Wei walked slowly led by Han Qiuhua, and the eyes were full of white plums, and the layers of plum snow and jade were stacked under his feet, as if the little man's boots were dyed with plum fragrance, which was unbearable to trample.
The exclamations of the girls sounded in his ears, but Cheng Wei had long been accustomed to this, his eyes were scattered, and his thoughts were obviously far away.
Seeing this, Han Qiuhua smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Cheng Wei's eyes: "Cousin Wei, what are you thinking?" ”
Cheng Wei came back to his senses, looked at Han Qiuhua with a smile on his face, put away the cold and hard shell erected in front of Han, and gently kicked Luomei with his toes, revealing a childlike naughty smile: "I remember that when I was a child, Cousin Zhi often led our brothers and sisters to Meilin to play, Cousin Ping was naughty, always loved to lead me to no one's place, causing me to get lost from time to time, fortunately, every time Cousin Zhi found me back." ”
"Really?" Han Qiuhua looked at Cheng Wei gently, "I didn't have much fun at that time, but I didn't know it." ”
"Yes, at that time, my cousin secretly led us to play, and the second uncle and mother were strict, and no one dared to call the eldest cousin."
"If you call me, I'll go." When Han Qiuhua said this, his expression was a little confused.
Han Qiuhua's father was the second son of Mrs. Wei, who died on the battlefield at a young age, but fortunately, his wife Liu was already pregnant at that time, and gave birth to a posthumous daughter a few months later, named Qiuhua.
Han Qiuhua has become the only bloodline in the second room, and he is also the first grandchild of the Weiguo Mansion, Liu has made up his mind but the step-heir, and he will wait for his daughter to grow up and recruit a son-in-law, because her schoolwork has been much heavier than that of ordinary girls since she was a child, and no one pouts her and she is embarrassed to take the initiative to skip class, but in the bottom of her heart, she is not envious.
Now Han Qiuhua is twenty-nine years old, this feeling is passing with the wind, looking at Cheng Wei's face that is chubby than ordinary girls, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, his hand reached halfway, but his face changed slightly: "Cousin Wei, your face is ......"
After a pause at this, taking into account the little girl's thin skin, she changed her euphemistic expression: "Did you bump into it?" ”
"No, I accidentally fell down with my second sister at the door, and I only touched my elbow-" Cheng Wei subconsciously stroked his cheek, and suddenly realized what Han Qiuhua really wanted to ask, and suddenly lost his voice, only biting his lip tightly and not saying a word.
Seeing this, Han Qiuhua didn't understand, sighed and stroked Cheng's slightly braided hair: "Cousin Wei will come to accompany me more when she is idle, the second sister is not common, the third sister and the fourth sister are young, and I don't have anyone to talk to." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled: "I know that you and Cousin Yao are inseparable, I'm afraid you can't bear it." But I look, Cousin Yao is steady, and the contrast makes you stupid girl even more jumpy. ”
