Chapter 156: Snow Falls and Leaves Blank
The next morning, the sky was covered with goose feathers and snow.
The wind was still there, but it wasn't big, just a large piece of snowflakes flying diagonally in front of people and falling on the ground, gently accumulating a small layer of white.
When it snows, the weather is not how cold it is, most of the snowflakes have melted as soon as they fall, but the clusters of trees clinging to the branches and carved balustrades have been able to stay even more.
Such a large snowflake has long gotten rid of the posture of "catkins due to the wind", and it is indeed like goose feathers.
In the land of Jiangzuo, such flying snow is not common, so every household in Jiankang City opens their doors to see this, and even the men with a very good temper can't help but admire, not to mention the children who shout excitedly.
The children picked up a handful of snowflakes with their bare hands, fluttering into the air, and the chirping looked like a chick that had just broken out of its shell.
In a short time, their bodies and heads were stained with white flowers. At this time, the children had to be dragged back by their mother's ears, fluttered and cleaned, and counted them down.
But it's useless, after all, there are a few children who can resist this natural beauty.
Because of a snowfall, the entire Jiankang City seemed to be alive.
In the Wuyi Alley in the southeast of the city, when the sky was just polished, many servants pushed the door out, said a few hello to each other, and began to clear the snow.
They need to sweep the snow away before their owners get up. Not just in the yard, but in the whole alley. If the snow is delayed for a long time, there will often be problems with the traveling carriages and horses, and it will be delayed at that time. It could really be a national event.
After all, this is Wuyi Lane, and it still retains the style of "Wang Xie Tang Qianyan in the old days".
The sound of snow clearing was loud, and it fell over the wall and into the courtyard.
When the children of the Wang Xie clan heard such a voice, they couldn't help but be faintly excited.
There's no child who doesn't love snow, it's a real gift from nature that makes the whole world dress up for it.
But the children of Wuyi Lane. It's rare to actually be able to play around in the snow. Not to mention that most of the snow in the courtyard had already been cleared, and even if there was any remaining, their fathers and the servants beside them. will also keep an eye on their actions all the time, and once there is something inappropriate in behavior, they will be punished for copying the "Book of Rites" several times.
They may look at the snow in a daze with greed, and they will secretly hide a handful of snow in their sleeves. will take advantage of the fact that others are not paying attention. Nervously stomp on the snow to listen to the crunching sound.
This is their little happiness.
Xie Xuan lifted the curtain, looked at the flying snow outside, and talked to Xie Xiaoman about this with a smile.
"That was all when I was a child, and now I'm no longer surprised by snow or anything." Xie Xuan smiled, "I'm talking about these things. Will Sister laugh at me? ”
Xie Xiaoman listened to these words, and he didn't know what it was like. Shaking his head, "You're only a half-old kid now." ”
Xie Xuan said with a straight face when he heard this: "Ganluo worships the prime minister twelve, Wang Fuhei wrote the "Commentary on the Tao Te Ching" when he was only a weak crown, and I ......"
"Okay, okay, don't quote the scriptures anymore, I understand what you mean." Xie Xiaoman hurriedly raised his hands in surrender and sighed, "You children who talk clearly, you really don't lose all the time, I just say a word, you have a hundred and ten allusions waiting for me there, I can't stand it." But then again, haven't you ever had a snowball fight or something? What about snowmen, have you ever built them? ”
Xie Xuan grinned, scratched his head and said, "Snowball fights are reckless acts, how can we learn it." What is a snowman? ”
Xie Xiaoman rolled her eyes, she looked at the rare snow outside, and had some "bad thoughts" in her heart.
After disembarking from the warship, the journey of the boat was far away and light and light was over. On the dock, there were already servants of the Xie family who had prepared various things such as ox carts and stoves, and when they saw the two, they respectfully saluted and asked the two to pedal the cart.
Xie Xuan said goodbye to Xue Zicheng. Xie Xiaoman glanced at Xue Zicheng obliquely, and the latter only smiled: "Miss Xie, that talisman seal is made with the power of the bottom, and now it is calculated, the consumption of spiritual power is about the same." I don't think I need to deal with it, and it will be almost dissipated by this time tomorrow. Miss Xie, in this way, it can be regarded as completing the entrustment of General Huan, so don't leave it at that. ”
Xue Zicheng said a word, but he didn't even help untie the talisman seal, and he drifted away.
However, he was puzzled, Xie Xiaoman was not in a hurry, the pale yellow talisman was floating on the long robe, which was similar to an ornament, and it didn't matter if he could take it down or not. Besides, now that she has returned to Jiankang City, she has nothing to do.
At this time, Xie Xuan glanced at the eye-catching talisman on Xie Xiaoman's body, and coughed embarrassedly.
On the ox cart, in addition to Xie Xuan and Xie Xiaoman, there were also two other little maids on the side.
The little maid is one big and one small, the younger one is about the same age as Xie Xuan, and the older one is about sixteen or seventeen, and she is also a graceful girl. When he got in the car, he listened to Xie Xuan's introduction, and the two of them were waiting for him closely.
Two maids, the older ones have gentle eyebrows, and the younger ones are delicate and lovely, Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but admire when he saw this, and secretly said that the lives of the children of this family are really extraordinary, and they have begun to enjoy the blessings of this Qi people since they were children.
When Xie Xiaoman secretly observed these two little maids, the two of them were actually secretly looking at her curiously. Regarding Xie Xiaoman's matter, there is actually not much rumor in the Xie family's house, but everyone has faintly heard about it, especially this time, even Xie Xuan personally went out, just to pick up such a little lady from the side branch, which is really strange.
The young girl is called Bai Chong, and she has long had such a anger in her heart, and she feels angry for her husband. At this time, when he saw Xie Xiaoman himself, he found that the other party was just a guy who was so ordinary in appearance that he couldn't be more ordinary, and his behavior was as rough as a village woman, so he was even more angry. The little girl couldn't hide her thoughts, all on her face, and when she heard Xie Xiaoman say the words "snowball fight", she looked at her angrily, thinking that it was really a wild girl from the countryside, and she still wanted to pry Xiao Langjun to do such a rude thing! It's worth it! When you go back, you must tell your mother first!
The silver carp was puffing up here, Xie Xuan didn't see it, but it had already fallen into the eyes of Xie Xiaoman and the big girl Bai Zhi. Of course, Xie Xiaoman will not care about children, looking at the small appearance of the silver carp, she can probably guess the reason for this "righteous indignation", and she only feels funny for a while.
It was Bai Zhi, because she was the oldest in Xie Xuanfang, and she had always had the demeanor of an eldest sister, and when she saw Bai Chong like this, she was afraid of disturbing Xie Xiaoman, so she secretly kicked Bai Chong and winked at her.
Xie Xiaoman looked at the behavior of these two little maids, and somehow, he felt a little emotion in his heart, so he smiled faintly and leaned against the window to look at the snow.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Xie Xuan heard the very slight sigh and felt a little curious.
"It's nothing." Xie Xiaoman looked at the city that was gradually waking up outside the car window, and said with a light smile, "Ten miles of prosperity is a dream after all, and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is just a rise and fall." Whether it is the market Zhuji, Huying Luoqi, or Sanqiu Guizi, Shili Lotus, in the final analysis, ......"
Having said this, Xie Xiaoman felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, sure enough, the other three people in the ox cart all looked at him with wide eyes, as if they were looking at monsters.
Xie Xiaoman smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, you don't have to worry about me, I'm like this, it's just an occasional convulsion." ”
"What do you mean by jerking off?" The little maid asked quickly.
"Uh......" Xie Xiaoman tried to explain, thought of something, and laughed, "It's just like going crazy." Haven't you heard about me? I've had some problems in my brain since I was a child, a little stupid, a little dementia, etc., the reason why Uncle An Shi asked your little Langjun to pick me up and go back to Jiankang City is because I'm afraid that I will make a fool of myself on the road and do something messy. ”
The silver carp believed it, and not only widened its eyes, but even its eyes were round and dripping. The two pigtails on the top of the silver carp's head swayed to the rhythm of the ox cart, and at this time, with her surprised expression, it was too cute.
Bai Zhi was older, so she naturally understood that Xie Xiaoman was joking. There is nothing too funny about this thing itself, but it is the reaction of the silver carp, which really makes people laugh. Even a decent character like Bai Zhi couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with long sleeves at this time, and burst out laughing.
Xie Xuan also laughed, stretched out his hand and flicked the silver carp with a brain melon: "White silver carp, you can believe what others say, you have grown so big, why haven't you grown a little bit of heart." ”
When Bai Chong was said by Xie Xuan, he immediately understood, his little mouth immediately pouted, his hands covered his painful head, and he puffed out his cheeks angrily.
However, although she was angry, when she saw her little Langjun laughing, she also felt happy and followed silly.
After a carload of people laughed, Xie Xuancai straightened out his front placket, and said with a straight face: "Sister, what you said just now is a poem, right?" Is it written, or is it an occasional fragment? ”
Xie Xiaoman said with a smile: "There is a following, but the intellectual property rights have been sold to Huan Wen." ”
"Huh?" Xie Xuan didn't understand.
"I can write it for you, but you can't use it." Xie Xiaoman explained with a smile.
"Little Langjun, little lady, it's here. The road is slippery and difficult to walk, please get off the bus carefully. ”
At this time, the servant outside walked to the car door and asked in a low voice, without recklessly lifting the curtain.
Bai Zhi and Bai Chong hurriedly cleaned up when they heard this, first asked Xie Xuan with their eyes, and after getting the latter's signal, they took the lead in lifting the curtain and walking down.
After setting up the footsteps, the two little girls opened the curtains left and right, owed a blessing, and their voices were crisp and gentle: "Please get off the car with Xiao Langjun and Little Lady." (To be continued......)
