85 On the day of the ceremony, welcome the two sisters

A few days ago, Xiao Zhisu, who only used three layers of heavy clothes in late autumn, has now wrapped a light purple coat with a crimson fox velvet collar, and a lilac-colored diagonal collar with a green rattan cotton coat, wrapped in several beige slightly pleated cotton liners, and two pairs of plain hands in the snow-white rabbit fur hand warmer tube. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The little face is up, the nose is red, and the cold breath can be exhaled when he speaks.

"It's been so long since I returned to Jiankang, and I forgot that Jiankang is so cold in winter." At that time, Xiao Zhisu sat in the carriage, looking at the red clay stove in front of her, but she didn't feel too much warmth.

Because Xiao Zhiyan is here today, the people in the house have been dispatched to Lu Yanju, and only Zhuohua, who has seen Xiao Zhiqiu a few times, will follow him on this trip. She was adding charcoal to the red clay oven with a carbon clip, and when she heard Xiao Zhisu say this, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, "Girl, what is the winter day like in Linjiang?" ”

Thinking of the winter days in Linjiang for a few years, Xiao Zhisu was fascinated, "In previous years, at this time, my grandfather unloaded a bunch of affairs and took me to the shallow water of the moat to dig ice and catch fish. If you are lucky, you can catch a few more, and go back to your aunt, who is very good at cooking fish, and will grill some of them, which is very fragrant. Then the family gathered around the stove to drink and chat, talking and laughing, very happy. ”

Zhuohua was also very yearning when he heard this, but he also asked curiously, "Isn't the ice in Linjiang thick?" The ice of the Jiankang moat was very thick in the winter in previous years, and pedestrians would be fine when they walked on it! ”

Xiao Zhisu nested the whole person on the soft couch placed in the carriage, and Zhuohua cleverly stepped forward to cover the velvet blanket for her, only to hear her say, "It rarely snows in Linjiang, most of it is just drizzle, and the ice cubes on the pillars of the eaves of the corridor in the morning can be melted clean before noon." ”

After talking to Zhuohua for a while about the local customs of Linjiang, Xiao Zhisu couldn't sit still and raised the curtain. Because of the charcoal fire burning in the carriage, the window of the carriage was supported by a wooden stick, and it was not closed. It's just that the curtain has been replaced with a thick cotton cloth, and it can't get into the wind, and it won't make people feel stuffy. She only lifted the corner and used the cold wind to rush in, mixed with a little snowflake into her collar, she shivered all over her body, and immediately lowered the curtain.

"Girl, your body is not good, so don't lift the curtains." Zhuohua leaned over to wipe the snowflakes on the fox fur for her, and looked at Xiao Zhisu's cheeks that were immediately red from the cold, and said helplessly.

Xiao Zhisu blinked at the heavy curtain and said to Zhuohua, "When will this snow stop......?"

"When the other girls heard that it was snowing, they all ran out to frolic happily, but you, girl, why are you like a little old lady, so afraid of the cold."

Zhuohua didn't mean to say a word, but it made Xiao Zhisu look gloomy.

She was naturally afraid of the cold, and she was terrified by the desperate death in her previous life. In a warm place like Linjiang, when it comes to winter, she is wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, as if she can never warm her body, and has been immersed in the cold of her previous life and on the verge of death.

"Girl?" Zhuohua, who had always been careful, noticed that Xiao Zhisu's face was a little wrong, and couldn't help but worry about calling her, afraid that he would say something that would make her sad.

Xiao Zhisu came back to her senses, and before she could speak, the carriage suddenly stopped, and she leaned forward by inertia and was held firmly by Zhuohua.

"Nine girls. When I arrived on the outskirts of the city, there was an official road into the city in front of me. Presumably, the convoy of the five girls will not be able to arrive, so the girl will wait. "Outside, it's the voice of the coachman.

"I know, if there's a stall on the side of the street, you can go sit for a while and get a little warmer." Zhuohua Road.

"Whoa!" The coachman said yes, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling on the snow, and in a moment the footsteps were gone.

Xiao Zhisu only had a few relationships with Xiao Zhiqiu in her previous life, and at this time in her previous life, she rushed from Lanling to Jiankang to get married, but she only remembered that she was a sister with a good personality, and she didn't communicate much with her on weekdays. At that time, she was a little wilder, and she didn't know how to restrain herself, and Xiao Fu was also laissez-faire to her, because her grandfather had not yet made a history and only occasionally mentioned a few words about her. However, she was confused by Xue Shiyan's words, thinking that she didn't have to listen to other people's instructions in the world, and lived in the shadow of others.

It is true that people have to live out their nature, but this is not allowed in the Xiao family, which has strict etiquette. In addition to disgusting her grandmother, she will also make others think that she is not polite and no one wants to be close.

The two of them waited in the carriage for a cup of tea, and then heard the sound of cars rolling over the road from the official road, Xiao Zhisu tightened the thin belt of the fox fur, Zhuohua got out of the car first, and held up the oil-paper umbrella painted red plum for her.

A tree on the outskirts of the city has dried up, only the snow remains, wrapped in small white flowers, falling on the branches, and when the snow stops, it forms ice flowers, which is very beautiful.

Xiao Zhisu held the rabbit down hand warmer, looked at the official road that had swept the snow to both sides, the four walls of the carriage made of black nanmu were hollowed out with flowers, and a lot of snow fell on the top of the kraft paper, falling down along the eaves of the four-cornered sedan chair. The wheels of the carriage were very large, and there was a black nanmu shaft in the middle of each two wheels to stabilize it, and the team was not huge, but it was also very impressive.

The coachman who drove the horse for Xiao Zhisu followed early in the morning, and because he was an old man in the house, he recognized at a glance that the team was the carriage of the Lanling family.

"Nine girls, that's the carriage of the five girls." The coachman said to Xiao Zhisu.

Xiao Zhisu bowed slightly, the cold wind blew her cheeks painfully, but Zhuohua next to her was much better, except that her nose was a little red, and she didn't react much.

Xiao Zhiqiu's carriage over there also spotted them, and the leading butler waved his hand back, and the whole team bent a little towards Xiao Zhisu's side. When a certain distance is reached, the housekeeper immediately raises his hand again, and the team stops in an orderly manner.

When she got closer, Xiao Zhisu noticed that the housekeeper was only in his early thirties, and his appearance was not bad. Dressed in a coarse cotton robe, with a scarf tied to the top of his hair, when he saw Xiao Zhisu, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fist at Xiao Zhisu cleanly, "Hello Ninth girl." ”

Xiao Zhisu replied to him, raised her eyebrows to look at the curtain that had been raised, and saw a woman with a dignified posture and beautiful eyebrows bending out of the carriage.

The woman wore a cotton shirt with a large collar with a white magnolia placket, a white fox fur, and a blue and white silk stream-colored skirt. The long hair is tucked up to the left chest, and several twisted braids are intertwined in one place to form a semi-arc fixation, and the top of the hair is tied with an ingot, and a three-petal lotus-style silver crown is knocked in the center. Inlaid with white jade hair buckle, the hair buckle is connected with fine broken white jade beads and is strung around both sides of the ingot bun by silver threads, and finally a lotus petal hair buckle is placed on both sides of the three-petal lotus flower on the top of the hair.

The style is simple and generous, but it is extremely exquisite, it must be Xiao Zhiqiu. She smiled slightly when she saw Xiao Zhisu, but she was not in a hurry to say hello, but lifted the curtain and said a few more words to the carriage.

Xiao Zhisu frowned, but it soon became clear, she remembered that in her previous life, when Xiao Zhiqiu came, there was a woman by her side, and she heard that she was a distant relative of the side branch, and her family was lost, and she relied on the patriarch's family for relief, and Xiao Zhiqiu treated this sister very well.

Sure enough, after a while, another woman came down from the carriage, dressed a little plainly, a light cyan large-sleeved shirt with an extremely ordinary texture and style, and only a tassel on her hair, the color was ordinary, and even the style was not worn by Jiankang women in the early years. The woman's chin was slightly pointed, and her eyes were slightly thin when she looked at Xiao Zhisu, which was not respectful and friendly, nor was it humble and snarky. In terms of physiognomy, it's not very pleasing.

The three women met to see Fuli, Xiao Zhisu first smiled and said to Xiao Zhiqiu, "Fifth sister still recognizes Jiu'er?" ”

Xiao Zhiqiu was a little caught off guard by her question, but she quickly stretched her eyebrows and scratched her red nose with a smile, "Jiu'er is completely different from when she was a child, and the eighteenth female college has become more and more beautiful!" ”

praised Xiao Zhisu for the time being, but looked at the woman beside Xiao Zhiqiu and asked, "This sister is ......?"

"This is Yi Rou, our sister from the side branch, who is younger than you, but older than Sister Yan, not long ago. Her father's family asked me to take Yirou to Jiankang to see the world, and to visit the old lady by the way. Xiao Zhiqiu has been holding Xiao Yirou from beginning to end, and it seems that she likes this sister very much.

Xiao Yirou leaned over and saluted Xiao Zhisu again, and said softly, "The ninth girl is fine." ”
