Chapter 281: White Snow

When the wind blew, it blew all the snow off the red plums.

Chen Xuejiao was standing outside the pavilion, and the snowflakes swept to her face and hair, and she didn't see her brushing away, only smiling and looking at the red plum forest on the other side of the Jiuqu Bridge. There was also a cloud of snow from the railing in her hand, and her hand was so red from the cold that she couldn't throw it away.

"Are you cold?" Zhao Yiming stood beside Chen Xuejiao, and when he saw that her hands were red, his heart was also cold.

"It's not cold, it's fun to tuan xue." Chen Xuejiao threw the snowflakes at the plum forest and slammed them on a plum tree, and the branches fluttered and followed a pile of snow down, and the cold fragrance came from among the flowers.

Chen Xuejiao has a thin jacket in the thick cotton jacket outside, and a bib around her neck, because Xueru's birthday is a festive day today, and there is a string of silver locks around her neck.

"The wool nest you wear is not afraid of slippery roads." Zhao Yiming stared at Chen Xuejiao's feet.

"I'm used to wearing it, and I'm not afraid anymore." Chen Xuejiao stepped on the snow hard as she spoke, and the snow on the road made a creaking sound.

"Auntie has always been good." Chen Xuejiao looked at Zhao Yiming with a pair of dark and bright eyes.

Xu did work in Li's shop, a few days ago he went to Xuzhou Mansion to send embroidered statues to a large family, and when he came back, it rained heavily, Xu was drenched, and he was uncomfortable that night, and he vomited bitter water at night.

When Li got the news, he was frightened, and he asked for a doctor and medicine, and Lan Niang in the shop took care of him every step. Xu is usually physically strong and accustomed to work. I went to Xuzhou Mansion in time that day, and I only ate a bowl of blunt wontons at the stall, and it is possible that the blunt filling is not fresh. In addition, after a heavy rain, he got a wind chill, and he recuperated for two days, and he didn't even drink the medicine, so he recovered.

Because of this reason, Chen Xuejiao asked this question.

"It's all right, my mother's body and bones have always been good. I would also like to thank my mother for the medicinal herbs and supplements. Zhao Yiming said with a smile.

Hearing that the Xu family was all right, Chen Xuejiao nodded, and her eyes looked towards Mei Linli. Fang Cai also saw the figures of Chen Xueru and Han Xingjian, how did they turn their heads and disappear again.

Hongmei is facing the water on the other side, Han Xingjian and Chen Xueru have crossed half of the rockery, and Chen Xuejiao is worried that the two are gone. I saw that the two of them were turning around. In a few steps, he passed Merlin to the pavilion.

"Sister." Chen Xueru was holding a few budding red plums in her chest, standing in front of Chen Xuejiao slimly, one face didn't know whether it was frozen or ashamed, there were two clusters of redness, Han Xingjian stood behind her, one face was the same as the two clusters of redness. "Sister, is it cold?" Chen Xuejiao took a step forward and reached out to brush her with the snow beads that had fallen on her hood. She raised her eyes and looked at the red plums in her hand, which were only about two feet tall. There is a horizontal branch next to it, about five or six feet long, between which the small branches are divided, or like a cockroach, or like a zombie worm, or lonely like a pen, or densely gathered like a forest, the flower spits rouge, and the fragrant orchid is good, "or the plum blossoms in the depths of the plum forest bloom well." ”

Chen Xuejiao looked at the plum blossom carefully, and praised it while looking at it.

The wind blew the fine snow more and more densely, and Chen Xueru's face was a little difficult to see every step apart, only a pair of eyes were in the white snow glass world, scorching and shining, his hand was withdrawn from the warmer, and he picked the red plum that bloomed the most on the branch and pinched it down, and turned sideways to brush off the broken snow on Xue Jiao's head: "Look at this full head of snow." ”

As he spoke, he put the red plum blossom in his hand on Chen Xuejiao's sideburns: "Sister, it's not that people are more delicate than flowers." ”

Chen Xueru said playfully, Chen Xuejiao helped the plum blossoms on the sideburns, did not let the wind blow the plum blossoms away, turned around in the snow, pulled the hand that was red from the snow and "exhaled" lightly, spit out a cloud of white mist, and gave her a hand.

"Sister and Brother Xingjian, come in, the humidity in the plum forest is heavy, be careful of the wind and cold." The yellow dragonfly lifted the felt carpet, leaned out half of her body to pull Xueru, took the plum blossom in her hand, and pulled her all the way into the pavilion.

Chen Xuejiao stood outside, took a deep breath of cold air, and only felt indescribable comfort all over her body.

"I've finished reading the ink book I sent you." Zhao Yiming saw a red plum on Chen Xuejiao's sideburns, which was more beautiful than an ordinary hairpin, and the red and glamorous set off her pink face.

"I saw Lin Chongxue running away at night." Chen Xue smiled coquettishly, "Was it snowing so heavily at that time?" ”

Zhao Yiming smiled lightly: "I'm afraid it's even bigger than this snow." ”

"Then it seems that he is arrogant, killed Lu Qian, drank cold wine, and ran to Liangshan on a snowy night." Chen Xuejiao gestured as she spoke, and suddenly a gust of wind came, blowing a red plum on her sideburns on the snow.

"Xuejiao, it's cold outside, come in and drink tea, the meat is roasted." Bi Tao's delicate voice sounded, and when she saw Zhao Yiming standing outside, she grimaced at him, "What are you discussing with Brother Yiming, I just heard that it was beating and killing, does Xue Jiao like Lin Chong?" I like Wu Erlang, so it's good to marry Wu Erlang in the future. ”

"Wu Erlang killed a tiger with three fists, I'm afraid he will abuse his wife in the future." Chen Xuejiao scratched Bi Tao's nose, and when it came to marrying and the like, the two of them were not shy at all.

Zhao Yiming couldn't help laughing, bent down to pick up the plum blossoms that had just been blown off from the snow, curled up his palms and held them in his palms, took advantage of no one to put his hands together and hid them in his sleeves, and said to Xue Jiao: "There are a few green plums behind the plum forest, I'll pick one for you." ”

Chen Xuejiao looked back at him with a smile, Xue Xuebai had a small face, a pair of eyes like paint, and big black and white eyes: "No need, other plum blossoms are fine, those green plums are Master Qin's favorites, and when he comes back, he will punish you, Brother Yiming, you come in quickly." ”

Bi Tao and Qi Ping have already roasted the meat, and a layer of plum blossom juice has been smeared on it, which is more delicious than usual, with a plum blossom fragrance, and it is an indescribable good taste when it is stained with salt, Chen Xuejiao and everyone ate several pieces.

Seeing that half of the jar of pear blossom brew was about to be drunk, Chen Qi'an came out to stop it: "The meat has also been eaten, and most of the pear blossom brew has been drunk, if it goes on like this, it is time for adults to come to find us." ”

Seeing that there were snowflakes floating outside, he thought that the Han family should also go back at this time. So he removed the stove and removed the felt stand.

The whole pavilion was barbecued and drunk by them. It was a mess, a mess, and a group of people didn't want Aunt Jia to do it, so they rolled up their sleeves to clean up and clean up, and within a quarter of an hour, they were cleaned.

The general will be cleaned, and the stones will be found. said that the Han family was going back.

The group stepped on the heavy snow and walked home one foot deep and one shallow. Huang Dragonfly's family was in the private school, and he complained to everyone. I want to go home.

On Xueru's birthday, she embroidered a handkerchief and two brocade bags for Xueru, and dried flowers were stuffed in the brocade bags, which were fragrant as soon as they hung on her body. Snow is like joy or something. Hearing that she was going home, Xueru stood still and said with a smile: "I like the gift you gave me." If you want to go home, I won't leave you in vain, anyway, it's close, you can come if you want. ”

Yellow Dragonfly smiled, beckoned to everyone, and walked in the opposite direction.

To go to the private school, you have to pass through a plum forest, and the yellow dragonfly comes to a plum tree and turns her head to look in the opposite direction. was the first to find Chen Xueru and Han Xingjian, walking behind everyone one after the other. Suddenly, the snow was slippery, and Han Xingjian hurriedly stopped her, and stretched out his other hand to prevent her from slipping.

The yellow dragonfly is full of sour nose, standing under the plum tree in a daze, thousands of plum blossoms blooming on the branches, pink and white petals, tender yellow stamens, and the middle is full of snow, like a delicate heart.

That day, she met him in the plum tree, under this plum tree. He was dressed in white, with cold eyebrows, standing under the plum tree to study, the plum petals fell on his shoulder, he ignored it, and still focused on reading, as if the plum blossoms of thousands of trees had nothing to do with him.

Later, she cut the plum blossoms, with the introduction given to Chen Xuejiao, and also sent a bouquet to the Chen family to go to the house, and was thrown out by Mrs. Chen's hand, she held back her tears, escaped from the courtyard of the Chen family, and turned her head, she found that he picked up the plum blossoms again, and her heart seemed to be soaked in bitter gall, and suddenly it was fished out.

When he saw him, he was already the head of the beautiful child's case, and he was still under this plum tree, he called her, talked to her, and thanked her for the plum blossoms she sent last winter.

In autumn, the plum tree was a withered branch, and there was no shadow of plum blossoms, but at that moment, she saw the petals of the tree in full bloom.

I don't know what happened to that person, now in her dreams is the shadow of him standing under the plum tree reading, the plum blossoms fall on his shoulders one by one, she just wanted to use her hands to help him brush off, the whole person woke up.

Chen Xuejiao came to the house, and before Li stood up, Zhou grabbed Xueru's hand first, and Yingying's smile couldn't hide her joy: "Oh, it's back, and my hands are frozen red." ”

Chen Xuejiao subconsciously looked at the Li family, and saw that although there was also joy between the Li family's eyebrows, there was a trace of melancholy in the happy color, and looking at the smiling faces of the Zhou family and Mrs. Han, Chen Xuejiao suddenly realized that they were afraid that they had already set a wedding date for Xueru.

The Han family has always hoped that Xue Ru would enter the door early, before Li said that Xue Ru was young and wanted to keep her for a few more years, but it was impossible to stay until she was seventeen years old, and now Xue Ru is fifteen years old. Although everything goes well with Xueru's family affairs, there are also discordant external factors, first of all, Mrs. Chen's face of Xueru in front of the Han family again and again, and secondly, the impact of the second room to marry the Han family on the big house, this qiē factor can't help but make the Li family let go of the plan to stay in Xueru for a few more years.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuejiao looked at Xueru's gaze, with a lot of nostalgia, thinking that her sister who got along with her day and night was about to get married, and she felt indescribably sad in her heart.

When the Han family was about to go out, Chen Xuejiao took out a return gift to the Han family.

Mrs. Han has a forehead, Bi Tao has a skirt, Zhou's is a top, Han's shopkeeper has a pair of shoes, and Han Xingjian has a pencil case in addition to shoes.

Zhou's hand touched the silk clothes and smiled flowers, the needles are all snow such as their own sewing, the needle angles are fine, the embroidered flowers are Magu Baishou, the royal blue clothes are embedded with three sides, each of which is rolled thinly, and there is a silver thread. Bi Tao's skirt is also, the craftsmanship is better than what is sold in the shop, the upper and lower skirts are large and small, she embroidered a total of 28 pieces, such a skirt is worn to Xuzhou Mansion to see big families, can also take a shot.

Han Xingjian's shoes, the forefoot is a layer thicker than the back foot, Zhou took a slight look, and he understood in his heart, Han Xingjian went to the private school every day to study, walking back and forth, he carried a heavy pencil case, leaned forward slightly, and walked, the forefoot was more stressed than the back foot, the back heel was good, and the forefoot had worn through a layer of bottom.

Zhou touched his clothes, and the smile on his face became clearer.

The snow outside was getting denser and denser, Chen Xuejiao's family personally sent the Han family into the carriage, and saw the carriage leave the village, only then did they return home, and the group had a layer of snow on their bodies, and quickly patted them with towels.

The Li family did not go back, fearing that the heavy snow would close the mountain at this time and be blocked in the middle of the mountain.

The noon banquet was dispersed in the evening, Chen Xuejiao had a full stomach of barbecue, and everyone was not hungry, so they hurriedly ate some fruits and pastries, which were used as dinner.

The leftovers at noon, only a few chicken, duck, fish and meat dishes were picked up and left, needless to say, the rest of the meals were naturally wrapped up by Zhang's brain.

At night, the lights were lit, and the Li, Mrs. Li, Qiao, Qiao's daughter-in-law Wang, and Xuejiao talked around the stove.

"The house in our town is almost ready, and when the time comes, my mother will come and live for a few days if she wants to, unlike now, when she has to lay the floor." Li said with a smile.

The Chen family's big room was too crowded, Chen Xueru and Chen Xuejiao gave the bed to Mrs. Li, Qiao's, Li Chanchan, Wang and others to live, and the three girls spread a thick mattress on the ground and started the floor, and the house was burning a hot stove, and they didn't feel cold at all.

"When you move, having a place to live is second, and the most important thing is to stay away from here......" Qiao Shi said quickly, his eyes glancing slightly towards the upper room.

"If it weren't for my mother pressing me here, she might be making trouble again, I'm a good girl, but I can't stand her like this." Li Shi's eyes glowed coldly as he spoke, and he snorted in his nose, "But her grandfather still has a heart and gave a hairpin." For this, I don't know, how the old lady is making a fuss. ”

If it weren't for this, where would she, the mother, be willing to let her daughter marry so early.

"Xueru's wedding date is set." Mrs. Li asked, "The girl's family will have to go out sooner or later, book early and rest assured, you are naturally reluctant to be a mother." ”

Chen Xueru heard everyone talking about her own marriage, her face turned red, and she lowered her head and discussed needlework with Jinghao.

"I'll go to the table in the West Wing today and listen to a few words." Joe said with his thumb against his lips and frowning. (To be continued......)
